How I see the skit at the beginning
Grapple and hoist: have a infinite power source
Prime: nah
Wheeljack: HEY PRIME IVE CREATED A WEAPON TO DEFY THE GENEVA CONVENTION.
Prime: let’s give it a test run
Prime: Won't the Decepticons want it?
Wheeljack: Yeah, but we can just shoot them with it.
Grapple: *actually has a good idea*
*gets declined*
Earthrise wheeljack: *has the stupidest idea to autobot kind*
*gets promoted*
Grapple had a giant tower that could have been more helpful to the decepticons instead
Good to hear jobby’s message in another reviewers videos
I just heard jobby at the back of wheeljack sequence and i just had one thing to say
I never understood why 4K was so desirable. if the tradeoff for a higher framerate is just 1080p than I will gladly make that sacrifice
It’s also great that I watched both this video and the last one back to back and didn’t find a different
probably has to do with the aliasing since 4k has such a high pixel count you wont need antialiasing to hide the jagged edges.
Really, I don't see a difference between 4K and 1080p, they just look the same
11:34 I'm getting some heavy Wallace and Gromit vibes from seeing Wheeljack on skis.
I love how you did the transformers commercial messages when the ad came and ended
I don't mind the unsaturated colors. Its simply a Wheeljack thats trying to bring a budget masterpiece to the line. I'm sure there was some reason up in corporate why the colors where choosen. Personally, while I prefer the red and green to be bright, I don't mind the vanilla off white, to be it makes Wheeljack feel dusty, like he's been driving in the desert. for all the people who wanted an updated Wheeljack, this is it. Its a really good figure with a easy transformation. Great review and I love the custom paint job, I just prefer the pack in off white we got
2 things I love here.
1: The animation is SO SMOOTH!
2: The 'commercial break' animations are actually either side of the ad! That's AWESOME!
I love the new recording style. The movement is smooth and kinda creepy in a good way
10:44 A Jobby mention!
My conspiracy brain: All the transformer reviewers... They're all connected somehow*! *stares at wall full of tacked up photographs connected by red string*
*By something other than the glaringly obvious fact that they all review transformers. Duh.
If it helps, Paperplane mentioned EVERY OTHER main Transformers Video Creator in one video. Including Thew, McFeely, Freddery, Rodimus Primal and Lazy Eyebrow.
Interesting thing about ER Wheeljack: taking a look at its dimensions, the scale (apart from obviously the flattened roof) turned out to be an almost perfect 1/30 in every other aspect.
In other words, THIS is how big a Masterpiece Wheeljack would be if he was measured by the actual size of his car mode rather than the height of his robot mode. The Lancia Stratos Turbo is a tiny thing.
P.S. If you wanna know about replacements for those spoiler wings, Robots78's are probably the best of the best. They're available to buy on Shapeways and there's a TFW thread updated pretty much weekly.
I can't find stratos group 5 (turbo) dimensions but the wheelbase (which I think must be the same for all versions) is 2,18m. Masterpiece has wheelbase of 7,5cm which give us a scale of 1/29 which is close enough. Although lancia stratos is tiny, the fact that Wheeljack form is the group 5 version (a really "beefed up" version of the original) gives a lot of extra volume.
I don’t really mind the look, it’s unique, and less chunky.
Bro I actually got a add after is said “be back after these messages”
At 2:42, you said that there was something that "doesn't sit right" with the design. I think that you're thinking of the step thingies that are in-between the wheels, seen at 1:44 in the small picture
someone else pointed out the reall long wheelbase as well as the car feels like a stratos that got run through a roller. there's lots of little things that leave an off aftertaste with the vehicle mode
I still prefer Generations Wheeljack myself. But this is a definite step up from the CW version, and certainly much more actually Wheeljack for the unfortunate people who couldn't get the Gen version.
And com'n, we're in a franchise run that's all about plugging extra guns and armor made from other robots on guys, how could we not have a version of the Autobot's favorite crackpot inventor?
I just love how the ad coisides with the Transformers bumb
Ooh ooh! (Puts hand up) the Dome Zero was the inspiration for Hotrod in '86. For those who don't know 😉.
Definitely seeing some distortions with the 60 fps frame blurring. Particularly noticeable when you slide the chest up in the transformation and when the cars drive by at the very end of the video. A lot of weird morphing shapes.
Yeah there's a learning curve. I have to shoot in a specific way to avoid that sand I'm still getting used to it
God, I love sponsorship in jokes, I love them to death on MP Smokescreen.
The 60 fps looks really nice! It's almost uncanny...
Edit: Nice custom green! That is the one flaw on alot of wheeljacks, ESPECIALLY the TF Prime one.
I'm intrested in what this toyhax set will look like. I still really need to get that killer Mirage set with all the car details.
The 60FPS Stop Motion looks Great!
That vehicle mode is GORGEOUS, dude.
At first I considered ragging on Lazy Eyebrow for customizing his Earthrise Wheeljack in middle of review and claiming its better than the official paint, but then I was like "Holy shiz this guy is right"
I personally love wheel jack the most of the four deluxes, but that’s just me.
Bug Bite is my favorite because my Cliffjumper had QC issues and Bug Bite doesn’t.
_And_ I got him as a gift from my mom?
Scratch that, I actually changed my mind on all of the molds except ironworks. These figures disappointed me in ways I had trouble expressing.
Being a Wheeljack fan, and having both the Generations and the TF: Prime versions of the character, I was waiting for this for a while. It's made me happy to own a 'modern' Wheeljack. And because I own the Prime figure, he can apparently hold his swords for some more playability.
Hopefully, I can get the masterpiece soon, been eyeing that thing for a couple years now.
optimus prime when reviewing the solar power tower
grapple and hoist: "we just made a way of producing renewable energon, thus eliminating our energon concerns and also saving earth's environment"
optimus: "sorry but you aren't season one so I don't care."
take your second Wheeljack and customize him into Slicer, who is a blue and bronze Decepticon who looks like Wheeljack
Haven't watched the channel for a while now and I'm glad to be back but man I love the 60 FPS stuff. It makes the stop motions feel so real!
Looks good and I honestly didn't noticed any lack of quality outside of the much smoother animations. And really, it's the quality of the animation that matters, not the size of the video.
Hi there I'm Peter from Hamilton Ontario Canada I'm 47 years old and always been a fan of the original g1 transformers toys since I was a kid LoL and I think that these new earthrise figures are not too bad, so far so good, Even though I kept mine in the package. So far I have 6 earthrise figures, wheeljack, cliffjumper, hoist, grapple, starscream and leader class astrotrain, I didn't buy them all at once I can't afford that unfortunately I'm on disability because I'm a stroke and cardiac arrest survivor and use a cane for balance and can only afford so much lol. Stay safe where ever you are Sir
Mate, idk you but I hope your doing well and also taking care of yourself.
Btw if you haven't gotten earthrise prime by the time I'm Writing this you certainly need to think about it if not get it, it's awesome!
@@natural1300 hello and good morning sir unfortunately no I haven't found the earthrise leader class prime figure as of yet, but did manage to find the Walmart reissue Autobot blaster toy for $40 plus tax, which I'm hoping to buy another one and open it, suprised that there was no cassette tape steeljaw the lion that I think came with the original g1 transformers back in the day? Take care and have a good day
I like the new frame rate it looks very good Optimus would be happy.
Thank you for coming back by the way, your content always puts a smile on my face
1080p is more than substantial. The improved smoothness takes your videos to a truly new level. It felt like high budget animation. Please stay in this trajectory. Great content all around BTW.
Woooooooo that is smooth, nice job Man, glad u are back love ur vids
I love your reviews they’re so lighthearted and fun and make me really enjoy them they don’t get boring like other ones
The transformations are the best part with this speed. It looks pretty realistic.
I spent the whole video thinking 'wow this is such a huge step up in smoothness of motion, you must really have a lot more time to take more photos for the stop motion with this lockdown' and then it turns out it just some rendering settings, so yeah I def say go for keeping those settings.
wait the fact that you animated the arms going up on top of head like the g1 cartoon instead of how the toys works for your outro was so sick. Huge props on that dude. Also the animation looks a lot smoother and more natural in this video. Good work man
I love the smooth animation that the video has, among many channels that I have seen that do stop motion this is the most fluid and shows an evolution in your quality, keep up the excellent work
lovin the transitions between each frame of animation, makin it look silky smooth my guy
I've been waiting for this one!
I’m into the new look. The test video was great and so was this. Makes your already outstanding animation so damn smooth
I can’t tell you how much I love the ad break bits. Recreating the bumpers is such a cool idea!
This video makes me feel weird for loving the colors of my earthrise wheeljack
No, I like them. I prefer the off white. I believe that was true of the original, though he was one of the G1's I never picked up. I do prefer the darker forest green, but I think this color combo works fine, but to each his own.
don't feel weird, I enjoy what I enjoy, you enjoy what you enjoy! this is a video about my opinions and in no way does this aim to tell you yours are wrong in any way 😁
HOLY SHIT!! I've got to respect you for how FLUENT your stop motion is!! I KNOW that I would not be able to do that, I'd give up before I'd even finished!!
Geez, the animation quality caught me seriously offguard here! It's scarily smooth; incredible work!
You sure did step up your game when it comes to the stop motion. It just looks so smooth and seamless!
An amazing review as always keep up the good work
Question: How is Hasbro able to make Earthrise Starscream close to an F-15 Eagle, a McDonnell Douglas design, but Studio Series Blitzwing can’t be close to a F-4 Phantom II, another McDonnell Douglas design?
Starscream's F-15 alternate mode is much more iconic; Studio Series "Blitzwing" is literally just a nameslap on a nobody character who was only present for a few minutes on-screen.
@@blam320 Still many of us think F-4 is great design that we want replicated
Or another example, everything in combiner wars?
It's an excellent question
I like the way the videos have been looking at this frame rate! Keep it up!
Awesome review bro love the new qutalty on you're videos keep it up👍
I love the incredible smoothness of the figures. Please do more!
Wow! I say definitely stick with the 1080p 60fps the animation looks incredibly smooth and seamless compared to past reviews and the trade-off is definitely worth it.
I LOVE how you use stop motion for your reviews! I appreciate how much time is put in your videos but I suck at stop motion lol!
That skit at the start was so realistic(moves really smooth)
This was the only figure in wave one I didn't intend to get and you certainly made sure I stick to my guns on that, lol!
The transformations looked fantastic
Awesome review. I LOVE that 60 fps. Also liked that jobby reference lol
Damn, the motion was smooth as butter, I love it! Doesn't even look like stop-motion at times.
I personally don't really care about the drop from 4k. I typically have the quality set to auto anyway and, considering the heavy internet usage by my family lately (*cough* COVID *cough*), I can barely run 1080 without some mild buffering. Plus, I'm kinda used to the lower-quality images from your previous reviews. To me at least, it's almost part of your channel, like how Thew has his word puns or Emgo has his skits. I don't know, that sounded weird. My point is, keep the 60 fps.
Wow, that's good for the experiment you had in this video, the animation looks smoother in the past several years. I also have Combiner Wars Wheeljack, and he's also got his problems, but I love the figure for his ability to combine with other bots.
I really liked the new animation formate, and being someone who doesn't watch videos in quality above 720p this was great.
This looks amazing good job with the stop motion keep up the good work
So, fun fact about Wheeljack's brakes: it actually makes sense for him not to have drilled rotors. Most rally teams use slotted--but not drilled--rotors, presumably because the holes in drilled rotors can pick up dirt and mud and the like and ruin the braking system. Food for thought.
Dang, Stopmotion Reviews v4. Great video, it’s very smooth
I *LOVE* the smooth animation!
This is really great. So smooth. Just a joy to watch. Your videos are really good anyway, but this is definitely worth giving up 4k. In my opinion at least.
That was awesome with the 1080p and 60 FPS. I’d like to see that more. Also wheeljack is my favorite transformer :)
Man, i LOVE Ironworks. His paint apps and design are amazing. His amount of modular playability is great too. Lot of cool options
Thank you for the recognition. You got a thumbs up and a comment for the UA-cam algorithm.
I like the red wheels you painted on. I was fine with the orange, but now red looks so much better.
Idk why nobody is drooling over this animation smoooothness. I’m literally analyzing the footage trying to figure out just HOW! Then I remember the mention of the “powerful computer” and now I bet my bottom energon cube you used one of those frame adding A.Is, in which, wheeljack would be proud. (And then I noticed the end card about it, consider this comment VERY positive feedback)
I remember seeing something where Wheeljack turned into a Ford Mustang. I’d love to see that on a figure or in media.
omg the animation in the video is fantastic!!
The brakes actually do make sense on the Starion, since it too is a racecar.
I like the altered frame rate! Wouldn't mind seeing more vids with it in the future.
The movements are quite sharp and fluid to watch.
Bro,that animation is smooth!
Awesome vid man!
On the topic of masking over complicated surfaces, it's best to use lots of tiny pieces of maskin tape, even some Tamiya lining tape or something of the sort, it adds time to the masking process but gives you much cleaner lines once they're removed
The piant work on wheel jack makes me tempted to it my own wheel jack when I get him. It just a lot more character to the vehicle mode
You rule man! Thanks for the 10 more videos! (And more I hope?!)
I love the Stop-Motion so smooth
I'm going to carry over what I stated on the test video, the higher framerate just makes my eyes hurt, plus the driving away shot at the end of the video really hit home the major problems with the method used to raise the fps... granted I'm the kind of person where once I learn how certain animation shortcuts are done I can't unsee it and it starts to severely bother me. Also I see I'm already very outspoken so.....
Driving away really does look awful. I'm still working with the program so maybe it'll get better. Still experimenting though so we'll see what happens. The input is appreciated though!
Whatever interpolation you're doing on your footage is excellent, I greatly prefer that over 4k, even owning a 4k display. High frame rate is life.
Mabey you could make you're spare jackie into a seige slicer.
You just reminded me that yesterday there is a leak for generation select exhaust
I don't think he'd go for it. He only really gets characters from season one, two, and the movie.
I didn't even know who that was tbh, But a blue wheeljack? man it's tempting
Recently found your reviews after coming back from a 9 year collecting hiatus. Your work is excellent, and I want to thank you for it. I am a bit "blah" about the mold myself, and like you I can't quite put my finger on it. I don't mind the odd arm proportions - as a robot, I can accept it, but I guess as an animator you see that differently - and I'm also fine with the colors. There is definitely an art to a great toy, and that can be hard to quantify. Grapple has it, but Wheeljack just misses it. This is also grading on what I felt was a pretty tough curve after Siege.
This looks cool, but maaan, you pointing out the desaturation makes it impossible for me to unsee it, not to mention MP Wheeljack is one of the few Masterpieces I have, so this one is pretty low on the priority bracket. The video looks trippy on 60fps!
I for one really like the smoothness of the higher framerate myself, but i usually don't watch in very high definitions due to internet constrains anyways.
You acknowledged jobby. I have to say it. BACK LIVES MATTER!
If not for that bit with the cars driving by the camera at the end, I would say the 60fps interpolation is awesome. But those last few seconds...it's like they're a reflection in a pool of water with how many ripples there are.
Haha that one was my fault. I didn't take my time with the last shot which confused the program. If the frames are too choppy it does it's best but it still doesnt look pretty
This and siege crosshair are some of my favorite figures because of their simple transformations. A simple transformation is all I want.
The extra frames make a huge difference. They make a toy look damn near alive.
Finally it’s here!
Those commercial bumpers make me smile
I don’t even have the patience for 12 FPS. You are a dedicated man.
Cylasbreakdown He’s still filming at 12 fps. He’s just using a program to interpolate the video to get it up to 60 fps.
Just came back here after one pregnancy-long time period after getting the new Jazz figure . And Man o man am I still glad to have found someone else with the same opinion as myself. Don't get me wrong, like what you like, but I prefer watching someone who likes what I like. That being said, I love figures that have realistic Alt Modes with G1-styled robot modes. And I can't wait to make my Jazz, (and possible see yours if you make one) with modifications to bring that 935 to life
The animation looks smoother. Keep the change.
Best use of a ad break in a UA-cam video. 👉
Fantastic stop motion!
please excuse all the incorrect names littered around the video. Idk what's wrong with me either haha
Try panel lineing it if the white it bugging you that much. The black should make the other colours pop more.
Hey, what kinda of paint do you use?
Ok
The Lazy Eyebrow
Will you get earthrise optimus prime?
@@kevinp.h157 he'll probably get it it just has to pop up in his area. Since the prices area absurd online.
