Insanely cool crossover! Small correction tho! Frankenstein actually goes all the way back to 1818 with the book by Mary Shelley, but the 1930s universal movie is what 90% of people think of when they picture Frankenstein, so it's forgivable lol
@@PrimeVsPrimesome of the most iconic things about the monster (notably the green skin, bolt through the neck and even being brought to life with lightning) are creations of the movie and not part of the original text
A little bit of info on the original Frankenstein Frankenstein/The Modern Prometheus was originally written by Mary Shelly in 1818 and was adapted by Universal Pictures as a film in 1931 which gave us the monster this figure is based on
I always thought that the monster was just misunderstood. He only attacked, when the villages attacked him, not really invoking the Decepticon cause, really , is it? I hope that the next monster crossover will be Punch/Counterpunch retooled as Jekyll & Hyde.
I have Dracula and waiting on my frankatron. Still think that 86 scourge would have made a better Dracula and turned into a coffin. A better mold would have been Mainframe from the Ark. would have made a awesome Frankenstein equipment with the current accessory attached to it
While trying to make life, the mad Dr Frankenstein discovered Energon! A race over who would ally with the Creation began, and unfortunately the hatred of the citizens lead Frankentron to become the Decepticon's new Energon Syphon!
They actually might do traditional zombies for the junkions given that their limbs fall off. If anyone should be framed as the mummy, it’s Animated/ROTF Lockdown. That mould would be PERFECT.
They've given us Dracula and Frankenstein so I reckon we need Werewolf and Mummy at the very least! I think a retool of ROTB Cheetor and Scourge would do the trick! I'm thinking a werewolf and a sarcophagus for alt modes
If Hasbro do more horror crossover in the future, I love to see a Werewolf one. They could use the Kingdom Tigatron mode and have it transform from normal wolf to Werewolf.
0:58 This sentence brings me so much pain. I'm sorry. 1) the story of Frankenstein dates back to Marry Shelley's novel from 1818, the movie came out in 1931, and 2) VHS was invented in 1976. I believe the reason for the vhs box on these is in reference to the various vhs box sets that Universal would re-release all of their old monster movies, there's definately nostalgia there, but I just want to be clear that when Frankenstein came out in theaters in 31, you still could only watch movies in theaters.
I have this guy on preorder and can't wait to get him. Even though I guess it would be smarter to wait, I'm impatient that way. The alt mode doesn't bother me much and the new accessory sells it a lot. Think about it. Tanks are large, lumbering vehicles that may be slow, but pack a lot of power. In that way it's a good fit for Frankenstein.
My fiance and I adore Draculus and we pre-ordered Frankentron the first chance we got. I'd love to see all this line completed with all the full set of classic monsters. I'd love to see The Wolfman / Werewolf of London retooled from Weirdwolf. The Mummy would be great as a retool of Skullcruncher since that mould features lots of details that can be interpreted as mummy wrappings. The alt mode even works well since the Nile Crocodile is pretty famous and crocodile mummies actually exist. Then for Gillman they should retool Generations Selects Gulf / Skalor because what better fit can you get than a robot that transforms into a fish monster? Beyond that, I don't really care.
I would LOVE to see them come out with the Bride of Frankentron! All the dead parts of fallen female autobots like Chromia, Elita-1, Moonracer, etc. like in the war for cybertron show. Idk about the alternate mode but I’m thinking some kind of cybertronian car. A white one with the trunk/back end being black to resemble her hair. Like the sides of the car would have a black line down the side on the white part of the car, and when you get to the black part/end the line goes from black to white. Either that or give her a flying mode? Idk. However I’m hoping this like continues with: Dracula Frankenstein The Bride of Frankenstein The Wolf-Man The Creature From The Black Lagoon The Mummy And The Invisible Man! Man, the alt modes for these characters I’m really wracking my brains trying to think of them! A Bat and the only flyer for the leader, Draculus. A Tank for Frankentron (I think that’s a great idea as Frankenstein was always slow and tanks aren’t known for speed), a sleek cybertronian car for the Bride, a wolf to werewolf for the wolf man, a submarine for the creature from the black lagoon or even a shark?, the mummy would have a wrapped up type of car brand new mold, and the invisible man would have a car that was see through made from clear plastic. Idk 🤷♀️ I’m totally guessing here. Lol though I wouldn’t mind seeing the bride being a helicopter for some reason. Since frankentron is a tank I would suspect the bride’s alt mode would need to go with his? Another smaller tank or military type car? Or she could turn into a green widow spider. A retool of Blackarachnia?
They did solid work with the Impactor.base. but I am.surprised they didnt go crazy with Weaponizer, Modulator, or Junkion pieces to make a true frankenstein's monster of a figure. Srill waiting for an offocial Autobot X Spike to be made.
We definitely need Gilman/The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Just need a good aquatic mold for the figure. Maybe cyclonus and mold it into a Mantaray like some fans have suggested for depthcharge? Also the Wolf Man needs to be a repaint/remold of Weird Wolf
Woohooooo great review as always! Love the way you did the BnW intro and I always always look forward to your video reviews! Tbh regarding modern transformers especially in voyager class I just really wish they wouldn't sacrifice one mode for the other; I get that things are proper dear now but even so I just dislike it when one mode has to be sacrificed for the other. Hasbro really should take more inspiration form their Hunt for the Decepticons or the Transformers Prime First Edition line, now those were proper bangers. I have the Transformers Prime First Edtion Voyager Class Optimus Prime and it is as close to a Masterpiece as it gets because it strikes a great balance and looks incredibly show accurate in both robot and truck mode without compromising either mode. The same goes for the rest of those figures. Now contrast this with Studio Series Mirage, SS102 optimus or even this Frankentron lad and the difference is very apparent. I do agree that the bot mode is the more important one out of the two but that shouldn't be an excuse for a lacking looking alt mode.
Thanks so much for checking it out mate! I completely agree with you! I was just messing around with some of the TFA figures and they are so amazing in both modes!
It took a while to get this dude out because Hasbro had to renegotiate with Universal to get the license back. I don’t think people realize that when Draculus had to go on sale that Universal didn’t see a reason to continue to work with Hasbro and they didn’t get their license fee back. That’s actually why the Univeral Bots and most of the Collaborative line (minus the GI Joe ones) cost more, license fee. The extra money doesn’t go to the figure it has to go back to the license fee
the big thing is that there's no direct reasonable veicle for frankenstein. and unless we were to making him with one of the modulizers, impactor is the best choise, as the somewhat-undefined space tank is generic enough to fit, yet bulky as needed for the big guy
I saw some people complaining that hes a decepticon but honestly you can literally come up with his backstory. Maybe he was made to be a decepticon but an autobots spark was used
Definitely like the headcanon alt mode is better than just another tank. Maybe Shockwave built it to just be a piece of lab equipment by recycling fallen Decepticons, but a power overload brings it to life and the equipment transforms and goes on a rampage. And I love all the amazing poses you get him in. These newer Transformers have great posability for photos. And the action blast pieces really add another level.
Here's another reason for him to be a tank perhaps he started out a tank that got regularly repaired, but then a allspark peice got stuck in the tank, bringing it to life
If not the tank, then what should the monster transform into? PvP protested against the tank but didn't offer any alternatives. I'm at a loss, considering the other Decepticon options. The only one springing to mind would be Motormaster, but then this thing would be astronomically expensive.
I already ordered this guy and cannot wait for it to arrive. As for what to hope for the future any suggestion obviously can change based on future molds but: -the Fly, using Waspinator (for obvious reasons) -the Bride of Frankenstein, using Legacy Elita (SS BB Arcee would be interesting, but I feel a car would go better with a tank... and also I hope to never see that blasted LegArcee or PotP fembot molds again) -the Mummy (as suggested by one of my mutuals on twitter), using SS86 Scourge (retooled to turn into the sarcophagus) -Jeckyll/Hide needs to be Punch/counterpunch -the Monster from the Black Lagoon... I'm afraid we'll have to go with TR Skullcruncher or Rippersnapper (not many other sea creatures and the only boat we have is Seaspray... a bit too small) -the Wolfman... as of right now, TR Wolfwire/Weirdwolf is kind of the only option HOWEVER if Legacy was to surprise us with a RiD2015 Steeljaw I feel it would fit MUCH BETTER (for having a normal car turning into a beast) BONUS -Igor using whatever mold has the worse backpack, to retool in his hunchback -not a universal monster but... man, we need a Thunderblast/Elvira! As for possible zombies... do we really need anything new? How many dead/dying/undead mainline TF do we have right now? -rusted seeker -rusted Barricade -dead Ironhide -dead Prowl -dead Optimus -ghost Starscream Am I forgetting anyone?
Not related to Frankentron, but if you plug SS Noah's back kibble the opposite way on Wheeljack, it sort of replicates his door wings. Also, Frankentron and Draculus are fun concepts for transformers monsters.
Honestly as soon as i saw this i knew many would call it an odd one in the collection, and immediately thought that it could simply be thought as some usual bizzare shockwave experiment, so im glad to of seen shockwave basically at the start of the video, didnt even know his bio so it was a surprise 😂, great video as always tho
I hope we’re not done with the Impactor mold yet. I’d like to see a toy representing Impactor’s death in the Marvel comics where he takes a huge blast to his upper body and head intended to assassinate Emirate Xaaron. And another form where Impactor was brought back to life by a deranged Autobot and had the appearance of a robotic zombie mostly stripped of the armor he had when he was alive to show the inner mechanical parts underneath. And in the Japanese Beast Wars anime, Megastorm (who was a slightly repainted G2 Megatron in the toyline) had a new Cybertronian form that I think a remold of the Impactor mold would work for better than a Cybertronian Megatron would do. Plus there were a few nameless guards in the Netflix cartoon that reused the Impactor model in different colors.
Im in two minds on this . Its a great reuse of the impactor mold but maybe one of the asymmetrical bayverse molds coulda done a better job . I LOVE the subline though. Draculos was great qnd there's a lot of potential here. Smart money says wolfman next. Perhaps using the fangry mold ? Down the line we should get the creature from the black lagoon and the mummy.
I just thought of a good plot twist for Frankentron, his main body parts came from Impactors corpse so it would make sense for him to take on his tank mode and he also has all the skills of all the other decepticons his body parts are made of, including close combat skills.
You know, for each time you nitpicked about the conductor not being able to rest onto his shoulder, I'm FRANKENly surprised at how you didn't arrive at the conclusion that you could just... peg one of the 5mm posts of the conductor onto the slot on top of the shoulder cannon
Not gonna lie I didn't see them using the Impactor mold for this guy but it works pretty good. I thought if they did end up doing this it was gonna be that funky rocklord truck guy who's name I forgot...
If this line continues i would love to see the Titans Return Skullcrusher and Wolfwire molds as The creature of the black lagoon and the Wolfman respeticbly
Really hope they keep this going with more monsters, Mummy could be a simple sarcophagus shellformer, gillman, wolfman and the fly would all be Beast-Wars retooled into human mode alts, Invisible Man and Phantom could be different vehicles like a Biplane and a Carriage
I actually went out a hunted down a Draculus when I saw this guy because I thought they would look really cool together. I can't wait to have him in hand! As for what Monster crossover i'd like, maybe Creature from the Black Lagoon. NO idea how to even approach it, tbh, but I think it'd be kinda cool. Probably a heavy retool of SS86 Gnaw or something.
Mary Shelly wrote Frankensteins monster back in the 1600 or something and VHS was an 80's/90's thing. The first movie was in the 50's I think...not 100% on any of this but times are closer than you thinking VHS was a thing in the 30's 😉
In the age old tradition of frankenstein's monster, I could see him easily turning on shockwave, ala the original monster. I think he'd be quite intelligent too, and the reason why he still bears the logo of the decepticons is to spite shockwave as well as sow discord amongst his enemies. Doubt he'd be an autobot though, would probably be too twisted for your average autobot. Maybe a wrecker, he could fit with that twisted bunch from idw comics
I dig this one quite a bit. I love your fan mold, I'm going to go try that. I like that he's a tank, because the character is kind of a tank so to soak. Huge and unstoppable. I like that they capitalized on the details on the mold's shins - they look like skulls!
Since they’ve made, Beast Wars-esc dinosaur Transformers. For the Jurassic Park crossover line, I would like to see if. They can make Beast Wars-esc Transformer versions of the WolfMan & Black Lagoon Creature. We can like makeup scenarios, like they were created by BW Megatron, but they end up being feral or something.
Gigawatt uses the actual measurement as his name, but _should have been_ Jiggawatt as that was chosen to disconnect the time travel concept from an actual scientific measurement of needed power.
Extra awesome review this time, I love the "haunted" bits! If the green plastic were glow in the dark, it would have have been over the top! Nice custom transformation by the way!
He looks good. The obvious next character should be the Wolfman. They can retool Weirdwolf In the same way they did Mindwipe to make Draculus. The Mummy is also an option. I'm not at all sure what they could use for his alternate mode.
Fun fact: in the original book the monster was described as quite handsome and the only reason victor Frankenstein abandons the monster is because it had creepy glowing yellow eyes
If we’re going to get more universal monster crossovers. I’m hoping we will get the rest of the monsters however I’m wondering if we can get some autobots that are the nemesis of the monsters such as an autobot van helsing. I’m wondering though if we were to get a wolf man figure next in the line would he just be a decepticon resembling the wolf man or would he also be able to change into a autobot representing his human form.
Next could be werewolf, two potential candidates - TR Weirdwolf or Buzzworthy Fangry. I don't know how this line could progres further, outside of zombie (which Frankenstein monster kind of already is) and ghoul, I can't think of any generic horror movie creature.
Interesting that he’s a decepticon when gen 1 had the episode about autobot x: the boy made of leftover autobot parts that spike gets put in and they literally call him modern Frankenstein haha

I wonder if we'll see a werewolf retool out of Silverbolt in the future. Or maybe a human fly from one of the Insecticons.
Oh maybe! Silverbolt seems like the best mould to choose from in that regard!
Yes, hopefully no Weirdwolf.
I see the human fly happen if they do a figure of the pretender bugly
I like, to see a black lagoon creature retool. My self.

It's also a good allegory of a father shirking responsibility for an unwanted child

I hope that the next monster crossover will be Punch/Counterpunch retooled as Jekyll & Hyde.
I was of that opinion too! But hasbro have labelled him a Decepticon so I guess their version is evil 😈
Personally my headcanon is that it was the autobots that branded it as a con because they were afraid of him.
Ooh a Jekyll and Hyde would be awesome!
@@ParadoxFree Could be...
The Jekyll & Hyde is a great idea!! I want it now
I have a soft spot for collecting seasonal figures, and Frankentron is absolutely gonna look great next to my Holiday Prime from last year. Lol
Some of them I think are really cool! FRANKENTRON is pretty awesome! 🔥
I was thinking the same!
He seems great, though he will be an odd one out in a collection. The Impactor mold was a great choice for him. Enjoyed watching the review.
Ah thanks mate!
It's so cool
not unless you have draculus
I have Dracula and waiting on my frankatron. Still think that 86 scourge would have made a better Dracula and turned into a coffin. A better mold would have been Mainframe from the Ark. would have made a awesome Frankenstein equipment with the current accessory attached to it
@@re1n441, that's fair I guess. And perhaps also the other collab figures?

🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️
I hope we get more from this crossover. Maybe the Mummy or the Creature from the Black Lagoon?
Imagine Sparkplug did a version with Autobot X!
Haha that would be cool!
I’m glad u agree 👍😎
We’re probably getting the mummy from a junkion mold
Oh that is a pretty good idea! I would love to see a Mummy next! Maybe a fossilizer could work too?🤔🤩

Nah, he's a junkion who watched too many old horror broadcasts.

I just thought of a good plot twist for Frankentron, his main body parts came from Impactors corpse so it would make sense for him to take on his tank mode and he also has all the skills of all the other decepticons his body parts are made of, including close combat skills.
Yes finally prime I’ve been waiting for this review
Thanks mate! I hope you like it! 🔥
Cool review. I’d definitely like to see a mummy crossover next!
Interesting crossover figure, prolly will grab one. I like the ALT mode you came out with, wicked!
A tank is a big, blocky, unstoppable thing... just like Frankenstein! Makes sense!
You know, for each time you nitpicked about the conductor not being able to rest onto his shoulder, I'm FRANKENly surprised at how you didn't arrive at the conclusion that you could just... peg one of the 5mm posts of the conductor onto the slot on top of the shoulder cannon
Not gonna lie I didn't see them using the Impactor mold for this guy but it works pretty good.
I thought if they did end up doing this it was gonna be that funky rocklord truck guy who's name I forgot...
This is basically if the DECEPTICONS make a Frankenstein and tried to force him to attack the AUTOBOTS...
Haha true! Hopefully he would realise the autobots cause is for the greater good!
If this line continues i would love to see the Titans Return Skullcrusher and Wolfwire molds as The creature of the black lagoon and the Wolfman respeticbly
Thanks for the video…I actually like the tank mode you can picture the lightning being shot out of the coils…whatever “sparks” our imagination 😉
"It's alive!"
Knockout, Transformers Prime
If they do more what will they use for the wolfman, mummy and the creature from the lagoon
Really hope they keep this going with more monsters, Mummy could be a simple sarcophagus shellformer, gillman, wolfman and the fly would all be Beast-Wars retooled into human mode alts, Invisible Man and Phantom could be different vehicles like a Biplane and a Carriage
Man Cyberverse Shadowstriker looks amazing 😂
Jokes aside, I do love this, though I wish the hands could rotate so he's not just stuck in zombie mode
I actually went out a hunted down a Draculus when I saw this guy because I thought they would look really cool together. I can't wait to have him in hand! As for what Monster crossover i'd like, maybe Creature from the Black Lagoon. NO idea how to even approach it, tbh, but I think it'd be kinda cool. Probably a heavy retool of SS86 Gnaw or something.
Mary Shelly wrote Frankensteins monster back in the 1600 or something and VHS was an 80's/90's thing. The first movie was in the 50's I think...not 100% on any of this but times are closer than you thinking VHS was a thing in the 30's 😉
Wow!!! I have never heard that kind of crossover. Amazing Figure.
In the age old tradition of frankenstein's monster, I could see him easily turning on shockwave, ala the original monster.
I think he'd be quite intelligent too, and the reason why he still bears the logo of the decepticons is to spite shockwave as well as sow discord amongst his enemies.
Doubt he'd be an autobot though, would probably be too twisted for your average autobot. Maybe a wrecker, he could fit with that twisted bunch from idw comics
his alt mode is a Tesla tank that shoots lightning. fitting, in my opinion.
I dig this one quite a bit. I love your fan mold, I'm going to go try that. I like that he's a tank, because the character is kind of a tank so to soak. Huge and unstoppable. I like that they capitalized on the details on the mold's shins - they look like skulls!
Since they’ve made, Beast Wars-esc dinosaur Transformers. For the Jurassic Park crossover line, I would like to see if. They can make Beast Wars-esc Transformer versions of the WolfMan & Black Lagoon Creature. We can like makeup scenarios, like they were created by BW Megatron, but they end up being feral or something.
Gigawatt uses the actual measurement as his name, but _should have been_ Jiggawatt as that was chosen to disconnect the time travel concept from an actual scientific measurement of needed power.
nice touch that he's an Impactor retool given his fate in the Marvel comics
It’s alive! That figure looks so good! Im tempted to get that figure myself.
You could find some gray kibble to fill in the hollow legs.
You do know that it's basically a Halloween mold of Megatron's cybertronian tank mode that's why he's called frankentron.
It reminds me of a knockout quote from the episode thirst
😈😈😈
I literally just decided to put a Pre-Order in for him yesterday haha. Nice to see it!
Extra awesome review this time, I love the "haunted" bits! If the green plastic were glow in the dark, it would have have been over the top! Nice custom transformation by the way!
He looks good. The obvious next character should be the Wolfman. They can retool Weirdwolf In the same way they did Mindwipe to make Draculus. The Mummy is also an option. I'm not at all sure what they could use for his alternate mode.
You think they will do the Wolfman out of weirdwulf? I can see them doing that honestly , we still have the lagoon monster too :) ty for the review
I would hope that they do a Werewolf, a witch, a bigfoot, or a mummy. The Fossilizers from the Kingdoms line are technically skeleton monsters
Now we just need an Ab-Bot and Cog-stello to meet all these Monsters 😂
0:35 he's alive he's alive
Honestly, I wish this was a 2 in 1 pack with frankenstron and a retool of idw chaon to make a Dr. frankenstein figure
Oh that would’ve been sick!
Strangely his face reminds me of rhinox
As for vehicle mode like the tank maybe because the monster is an artificial construct like a tank
Does this mean they’re finally shipping? Can’t wait to get mine
Ok okkkk ..might be doin the most but I'd feel like this would be justice if they made him a headmaster ?? Idk.. spit balling here
Fun fact: in the original book the monster was described as quite handsome and the only reason victor Frankenstein abandons the monster is because it had creepy glowing yellow eyes
The Creature from the Black Lagoon!
Frankenstein with Boris Karloff came out in 1931, the book 1818...vhs was invented in 1976
great job about Universal Monsters FRANKENTRON Action Figure from Transformers X Frankenstein Crossover Review
If we’re going to get more universal monster crossovers. I’m hoping we will get the rest of the monsters however I’m wondering if we can get some autobots that are the nemesis of the monsters such as an autobot van helsing. I’m wondering though if we were to get a wolf man figure next in the line would he just be a decepticon resembling the wolf man or would he also be able to change into a autobot representing his human form.
Happy Halloween!
Next could be werewolf, two potential candidates - TR Weirdwolf or Buzzworthy Fangry. I don't know how this line could progres further, outside of zombie (which Frankenstein monster kind of already is) and ghoul, I can't think of any generic horror movie creature.
Interesting that he’s a decepticon when gen 1 had the episode about autobot x: the boy made of leftover autobot parts that spike gets put in and they literally call him modern Frankenstein haha
Frankenstein's Monster is kind of tank-like. Takes a lot of physical abuse before being stopped.
