If I'd only seen this version, I would have thought he was the definitive Blaster, but then seeing the Fantasy Club one next to him, he instantly looked a lot less appealing. Funny how that works sometimes, lol
That transformation seems needlessly complicated in sections (specifically the feet). I realise that transforming into a box is probably going to involve flipping out some panels (though some older Soundwaves seem to avoid this), but that heel spur transformation is just taking the mickey. No need for it to have so many small pieces and hinges.
Blaster : Hey, Perceptor, what's shaking? Other than this fortress? Perceptor : Blaster, Ultra Magnus sent orders to contact Optimus Prime on Moon Base One! Blaster : All right! Cover your receptors, Perceptor! [He transforms into a ghetto blaster and broadcasts the message] Blaster : Optimus Prime, do you read me? The Decepticons are blitzing Autobot City, we're really taking a pounding. Don't know how much longer we can hold out
The transformation isn't as bad as the Fans Toys official video made it look, but I don't think this is enough to replace my DS not Blaster. It looks toon accurate to a fault on those derpy looking shoulders and I'm just not a fan of that head sculpt. Great review though.
I like the upper body transformation but the alt mode kills it for me because It tries to mimic the g1 toy boom box mode but since I can still see the core block, I’m hurting while looking at it. Still good review.
Fast Forward(Rewind) I felt was far superior to their Frenzy and Rumble. I have KFC’s, Deformation Space, and This one. I have to say they all have qualities that I appreciate! I can’t wait for the other MMC tapes though. Great Review as always Emgo!!! Thanks man keep up the good work!😊
Is it blush comparable though? G1 blasters left arm was shaking a bit in the comparison. It seems like the fan toys version of the toys are better than some of the newer mainline toys because my brother has kingdom blaster and this is better in my opinion THE BOOMBOX MODE IS SO GOOD
If that G1 toy head just looked a little more like his Marvel comic head I'd have ordered this guy Day 1, because Marvel Blaster > Cartoon Blaster. Maybe a 3P upgrade kit will make my dreams of an MP Marvel comic Blaster come true...
I thought exactly the same thing about the shoulders when I first got mine. I’ve no problem at all with the proportions, I think it looks incredibly toon! But man if those shoulders were up just 2mm even, it might e made all the difference.
I’ve just started getting some third party figures, got two Newage figure and they’re great but what is the best place to third party auto bot/deception sticker/labels?
I finally fell in cartoon-accuracy vibe, but I'll be keeping my toy-accuracy era MPs anyway because they were already awesome. That said, though I really love my KFC non-Blaster, it has gone back to his box and Recorder is now in the shelf. I really hate FT transformations but that's the price you have to pay for accuracy, and I really don't transform my MPs so I cannot care less. Fast Forward will stay in the box, KFC's will still hold the seat until MMC releases a non-Rewind. My biggest issue with this figure is the lack of functional heels, which is really annoying in such a solid mold.
Something about the hip/waist sculpt really doesnt work for me. He looks like he's wearing a leotard. Its totally cartoon-accurate its just a weird look to begin with
Does anyone have website suggestions to get third party/masterpiece transformers in the UK as it costs alot of money to get them from BBTS Please if anyone could lmk 🙏🙏
Every time I see rewind I just picture cromedome frantically looking for him
Such a tragic story arc - at least the bit with Overlord.
If I'd only seen this version, I would have thought he was the definitive Blaster, but then seeing the Fantasy Club one next to him, he instantly looked a lot less appealing. Funny how that works sometimes, lol
I really quite enjoy this guy's transformation, especially the way it slides the chest over for a detail absolutely no other post G1 toy gets right.
oh wow... that transformation escalated really quick lol
What a blast! He looks great just want to see him grappling Mr Grimlock

Optimus: Hm, that does sound bad. Tell me, are the pizza bagels okay?
That G1 arm was so floppy

I'm amazed nobody had made a Blaster and/or Soundwave with real functionality. Making them bluetooth speakers should be doable.
A working Soundwave is out there, rare and doesn’t transform.
There is also a Soundwave MP3 player, which does transform unlike the old cassette player. It came out a few year ago now so no Bluetooth.
look up music label soundwave :)
I have a real Soundwave MP3 player and Frenzy and Rumble with earphone as alt mode, licensed by hasbro
people will just trash the speaker quality and tech goes out fast.
Hasbro: What’s hard engineering?
Siege: …
Earthrise: …
Kingdom: …
Legacy: …
Titans return: …
Combiner wars: …
G1: WHAT EVEN IS THAT
Blaster looks good
These look really cool. I like the new transformation engineering.
23:25 g1 toy has the buttons centered FT moved the buttons with the door off center. Imo make box mode look wierd. I think DS just looks better.
This is looks good to me. Hopefully, when I can get the money, I can buy it. Also, great video, Emgo! Keep up the great work!
Thanks very much :)
Holy crap, the engineering on that seems overly complicated.😮
Great review, great video, great figure!!!
The tape deck mode's tape compartment being off-center is driving my brain nuts!!
Great video as always, EmGo! Thank you!
The fact that the tape area isnt dead centre is driving me up the wall, and I can’t not look at it
Soundwave, perceptor, n him are my favorite g1 characters
Blaster to me has always looked like he's wearing a red leotard over short shorts, and leg & arm warmers.
My rewind only came with one gun…. I’ve seen this with other reviews. What the heck?
Though everything closes up good, it SO much of a hassle. They should've thought more about that.
Rewind the bot with the golden gun
I like the upper body transformation but the alt mode kills it for me because It tries to mimic the g1 toy boom box mode but since I can still see the core block, I’m hurting while looking at it. Still good review.

It's also $170 more than the kingdom
OH
Emgo do you think its worth replacing DS for this figure?
If that G1 toy head just looked a little more like his Marvel comic head I'd have ordered this guy Day 1, because Marvel Blaster > Cartoon Blaster. Maybe a 3P upgrade kit will make my dreams of an MP Marvel comic Blaster come true...
I thought exactly the same thing about the shoulders when I first got mine. I’ve no problem at all with the proportions, I think it looks incredibly toon! But man if those shoulders were up just 2mm even, it might e made all the difference.
I can only think of James Bond with Rewind purely because of the golden gun
HA Id get this JUST for the Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo ref
So Emgo, what’s your preferred MP blaster?
Totally fine with the over complicated-ness lol
Just treat it as a TF rubik kube or puzzle 😅
The asymmetry in alt mode drives me nuts, but it seems to be good quality overall.
The asymmetry is actually on point if you look at the G1 toy and the cartoon. It's quite the attention to detail.
Can we get our freakin' geek to 1m subs plz? He's earned it with all of these solid reviews.
I completely forgor about this release lmao
I’ve just started getting some third party figures, got two Newage figure and they’re great but what is the best place to third party auto bot/deception sticker/labels?
Toyhax
@@emgo316 awesome thank you emgo
Wheres the autobot logo on his chest?
This is not an official figure so they can’t do that. But I just put faction symbol stickers on my third party bots
@@emgo316 oooh makes sense
So can he hold all 4 tapes or just 3?
Wow that back view of Fast Forward is as hollow as hasbro’s intentions on quality.
I finally fell in cartoon-accuracy vibe, but I'll be keeping my toy-accuracy era MPs anyway because they were already awesome.
That said, though I really love my KFC non-Blaster, it has gone back to his box and Recorder is now in the shelf.

My biggest issue with this figure is the lack of functional heels, which is really annoying in such a solid mold.
I'm a Generations' guy anyway. MPs are beautiful but I enjoy the simplicity and smart engineering of actual toys more than collector's figures.
Is the head armature plastic or metal?
Metal
What did Maskot say at the beginning?
toaster oven
cool
Lol the hasbro version is rewind and this version is fast forward the opposites
Oh and why no video yesterday emgo?
Why is the cassette section off center?
It’s accurate to the animation model and the G1 toy
Something about the hip/waist sculpt really doesnt work for me. He looks like he's wearing a leotard. Its totally cartoon-accurate its just a weird look to begin with
More Mascot reviews please
They happen when the inspiration strikes. What do you think of Recorder here? Any thoughts on him?
@@emgo316 I like him but Im wishing he had some sort of playback “function “
Does anyone have website suggestions to get third party/masterpiece transformers in the UK as it costs alot of money to get them from BBTS
Please if anyone could lmk 🙏🙏
Aliexpress. I got The DS for 90 bucks
Fast fooorward
Leonardo Donatello
Fast fooorward
Raphael and Michelangelo
Teenage mutant ninja turtle fast forward
Teenage mutant ninja turtle
Faaast forward
Hmmm. 10000% increased complexity of Legacy Blaster for 25% increased looks of Legacy Blaster.
Not made for me.
Oooogly
Hi
The fact fans toys has hollow spaces regardless of the figure it is on, is why I’m glad I stopped collecting when I did.
It's a tape minion. If it was the main figure, that might be an issue
Ds02 is better 😂✌🏻
Why? Great points there to back up your useless comment
@@ghostdestron because ft blaster is wearing grannys diaper 🤣✌🏻🌵🌵🌵
I like Fanstoys but their tapes are terrible.
What "Soundwave" decal is that on his chest? I got both he and Blaster coming tomorrow and I want that badly!
It’s a 3D printed insert from iacon3Dlabs
