Gee, it sure is weird how Hasbro charged $35 for Rewind and gave him a whole blue and white Kingdom Blaster as an accessory. Doesn’t really bother me, though. Both are pretty solid.
TF One is SO GOOD. My sister who doesn’t really like the franchise absolutely loved the movie when we saw it in theaters on Friday . It is my new favorite movie
I remember getting Crosscut and absolutely loving him, all his joints were so sturdy and tight and I honestly dont mind the red wheels, they give me Hot Wheel vibes which I loved Hot Wheels back then before I was introduced to Transformers
I love that you do these kinds of videos because it really just helps summarize an entire wave of toys in retrospect, and helps with making checklists of good figures. I was expecting to make a comment about how "even if I disagree about X", but no, I actually agree with your assessment of every figure from this wave, despite my lower standards. My favorite from the wave that I have (still looking to get Armada Megs and giant evil space lady eventually) has to be Crosscut surprisingly. The transparent plastic is thick and robust to a surprising degree, and after a cheap filler kit for the legs, it's really fun to handle and just transform back and forth. Really hoping we get a mainline Reboost from the mold eventually. I personally don't mind that the mold is reused so much, it's a good mold that makes for solid, cool looking toys.
@@PerspectiveEnd Idk man, the spice was at best a single packet of crushed red pepper this episode. Not that you failed, there was just not a lot to roast that didn't deserve worse. A couple ugly, fidly core classes, a poorly executed bug man, and a cool (imo) design for a voyager ruined by playschool-ass anime-accurate colors, bad plastic, and next to no decoration. Rest was decent to great that wave, and you said as such. I don't even like the Junkiom aesthetic and I'm considering picking up the Legacy guys and their redeco/retool counterparts someday just because of how well executed they were. I did forget about "Blaster, but in blue!" when I said I had everything I wanted. Speaking of good molds in blue, I need to look up a review of that Chromia. I could have sworn that she was an ugly shade of my favorite color, but your praise for the toy has me second guessing. Thanks for the reply! Eager for your takes on wave 4, I feel that one was pretty lacking. Edit: changed my username and profile pic since apparently I hadn't done either since I was a teenager, aka ages ago lol. Won't do that again now but just didn't want to confuse you.
2 things: 1. Bomb burst was legacy wave 3, not evo wave 2 2. The leader for this wave was skyquake, there wasn’t a leader for the first wave (pretty sure it was tm2 megs re-release) and armada megs was wave 3
Bomb Burst was repacked in Evolution (Wave 2) I believe? Also yeah, TFP Skyquake was this wave’s leader class, not Armada Megatron which was the wave after.
I'm pretty sure the show was based on the toys, so technically, Cybertron toys didn't look right to the cartoon, the cartoon looked right to the toys. In Animated, the character designs were made first, then the toys were made based of the show and the designs were very stylized so it was way harder to achieve an accurate look.
Stock photos are perfectly acceptable, Perspective. Honestly, these kinds of videos can take a lot of work. When you shared all of those docs with the rows upon rows of video files in this vid, it made me realize just how much goes into stuff like this. We're all here to hear your opinions on stuff, whether it be informative or amusing. Whatever works. ^^ Oh, I used to own that Beast Wars McDonalds figure! I loved that beetle Transformer, even though I knew nothing about the character. lol Legacy's Amada Megatron is such an underrated figure, too. It looks really cool and is very much accurate to how he was in the anime. I was bothered by the lack of rotating shoulders, but after looking at several images of him from Armada, he doesn't seem to do that. He can raise them up and down like the Legacy toy, but not rotate them. So in a sense, this is animation accurate. Weird, but kind of neat I suppose. Hasbro's off the hook this time!
That wasn't even half of it, those folders have folders in them. I loved beetle so much, such a great toy. And interestingly you can kind of see it with the face. That was originally going to be Megatron.
I went to my local target today and saw the core class energon galvatron. I decided to pick him up but the barcode wasn’t readable to the self checkout and a manager came and I heard him telling the other employee it wasn’t the street date yet so that why it didn’t pop up. He sold it to me for just $4.99.
@@PerspectiveEnd maybe. It wasn’t a figure I was in a rush to get so I didn’t know if it was online yet. I figured finding it in stores would be easy since energon megatron was
Sucks that they've wrapped up the Core Class price range, because I would have loved to have seen the Dinobots done properly; i.e. not as Combiner limbs but as solid stand-alone figures. Would have also been neat to have the Conehead Seekers done in Core Class too.
Have to agree, they could have done a lot better with the Insecticons. I only bought them as they're part of my 'Darkmount' display (Taken from the Marvel Comic story 'Return to Cybertron') and they stand alongside Dirge, Ramjet, Thrust and Straxus as part of the Decepticon contingent.
I’m in a weird camp where I prefer metalhawk to cyclonus. My metalhawk has significantly better tolerances than cyclonus and therefore the fun transformation is more fun on metalhawk. My cyclonus has also yellowed to the point of looking more diseased(I don’t have a good way to describe it) than metalhawk.
For the review on TFone, can you not include spoilers in the thumbnail or title? For some reason the film doesn't release in the UK until october 11th and I'd rather steer clear of spoilers.
I found the bugs in a game shop For $45, missing shrapnel and I just had to get him to finish. Kickback is the best only because he can pose in both modes. They're horrible as bugs but if you see them as bug shaped monster bots then they're all great. Shrapnel/shell really needed dedicated bug legs tho
The thing with Crosscut and the entire Skids mold lineup that I find hilarious is that it got worse and worse as it went on. Skids and its repaints were really good, Crankcase was worse and Medix is a sin again God. But very recently, Cannonball came out, who is surprisingly good. After Medix I was done with the mold untill i decided to take the plunge with Cannonball and I'm so glad I did.
I think cause they wanted Wreckgar to be the best he could be, and so the Junkions were all based on him, and couldn't really have this integrated without a lot of work.
I will argue that Crashbar is horrendous. He is literally Lieutenant Dan, because the legs are actively trying to make a break for it. His wheels do not stay in the calf at all. And you cannot possibly call those things attached below his legs as feet!
The Core Dinobots are mostly only worth it if you buy them for Volcanicus, though the combined mode still has a few problems Honestly for the first(and probably only) Core Combiner I wish they did the Constructicons/Devastator
I had to chance to get core thundercracker, I ended up not getting it since I want to get the full sized trio before I get the core class versions, even if it was very tempting. Overall I feel like Evolution was a very good line, even if distribution was not quite fixed yet (at least in my area) And as for TF One, I haven’t seen it yet, and I hope to see it soon. Though being on UA-cam has been a nightmare due to people trying to spoil the movie hard
3:33 fun fact. For about ten seconds I considered swiping this toy from my 4 year old nephew. Obviously I didn’t. However, I do give him enough of my own toys that it woulda been more like a trade. Which woulda been my “justification.” Ah well. Curse my morals and inherent sense of Justice.😊
@@PerspectiveEnd well, I gave him my Thrilling 30 Skybyte, Combiner Wars Armada Megatron, a couple of warrior class Earthspark figures, plus plenty of brand new age appropriate bots.
@@PerspectiveEnd Indeed. Especially the trapdoor, it's easily the thing I mess the most with. And I've got other cassette player Soundwaves, even the G1 one, but when I put Lazerbeak in it feels the most like Star Lord putting in his tapes which is both cool and emotional. And also weird, because how is this nostalgic product of the 1980's made in 2012 giving me nostalgia for a movie from 2015? I just wish it had a belt clip for a potential costume or even just average transformation. If I will say anything, the grip on the Megatron pistol never feels right. Like he holds it fine from a technical standpoint but whenever I touch it it feels like it's about to shoot off into the stratosphere. But not like that has much bearing on me as I've always felt Megatron turning into a gun that has to be fired by a lacky instead of himself just stupid. Like Shockwave turning into a floating gun is charming stupid, the stupid I admire, but Megatron having to entrust his life to Starscream just makes him look REALLY dumb. Side note, if people want SS Megatron to turn into a gun for their displays how exactly does that work? Do they want a gun hanging on their wall separate from the rest? Do they want him in the hands of Soundwave or Starscream in which case he'd be far too big and you're better off using the Megatron gun from an accessory pack or the Kingdom core class? Like what would the alt mode of a Megatron even matter if the robot mode is accurate enough anyways?
I didn't even mind metal hawk but my copie didn't even come with the left gun so I returned it and it didn't leave enough of an impression on me to get a second copy
Oh god armada megs I have no regrets at all for getting a figure of a incarnation of a character that I have no clue who he is except its David Kaye. God DAMN Legacy armada megs rocks
The core class Dinobots are trash and i will die on that hill. Edit: looking at Prowl. Obvious Sideways repaint is obvious. Where's my fucking Sideways Hasblow?
The Nemesis is such a buy dude, she would be so much better if she had blast effects (in my opinion). But overall 10/10 figure would recommend (if you have the funds for it, because buying a titan is a whole commitment).
Can you use the stock images with the stylized Legacy background (Like the images on Pulse) for these videos in the future? It would look visually much more interesting than a white background and still be the same amount of effort.
That is a decent point I had not considered. I thought putting them on the white was a better idea because it gave you a clearer looking, but you don't really need a clearer look do you?
I want Prime Cliffjumper. And a good Knockout. I headcanoned Knockout as a Seeker who changed his alt mode because he looks too much like Terrorsaur, who's a Seeker trying to be the next Starscream. So Knockout is Terrorsaur's great granduncle. I think Transformers names are direct translations of their names in Cybertronian. Most of these names are translated into common languages like English, French, German, Russian, and Japanese, but names that originate from the high dialect translate into Greek and Latin. Some words, like Ferak, Vos, and Xaaron, don't have Earth equivalents, so they aren't translated. Do you know about HFTD Backfire or ROTF Knockout (both are the same mold, but Backfire has some improvements)? I got HFTD Backfire for 12 USD and he's really good. I did not expect a movie toy to have a transformation rivaling TR Triggerhappy and Siege Hound. Yet here it is. HFTD Backfire. I got him for the Kamen Rider vibes. And he has articulated drone wings, which really surprised me. Pure awesomeness. Speaking about Scout class, I also have Cybertron Clocker who's also pretty great... except he doesn't have knee swivel and bicep swivel. I also got Legacy Dead End for 12 bucks. QC is honestly almost perfect. The foot tab problem I have is very trivial. It goes together well, it just refuses to line up at the car rear. If I clip it off, it'll line up perfectly.
I could totally see Knockout ditching a seeker mode to become a car. To be fair at the very least Vos is a city on cybertron, so it wouldn't have a translation. Cant say I'm familiar with those two no. That does sound like a great price though. And that's some high praise for the Transformation. I don't know clocker either. Glad to hear yours worked out a lot better than mine.
Shrapnel to me is a 7/10. Could be better, but not as horrible as you're claiming it to be. Bomb Burst is a decent Core class minion for Bludgeon to (via IDW). The rest I can't argue with.
@@PerspectiveEndYeah, hell I'm "Snazzy Soundwave" I of all people should love Soundwave a lot but there's just something about the Nemesis that makes me love it more, maybe it's the transformation or the fact she's my first Titan.
How about you keep a .doc file with the cross-reference of number vs wave/collection? That will save you a lot of time. Got myself the insecticon, the junkion, Prowl jr, Bomb-burst to pair with Iguanus, and Grimlock for the combiner. I didn´t get Senator Crosscut because I already had Skids and Crankcase.
I don't get why Transformers fans complain about action features, they just transform them a couple times and shove them on a shelf to collect dust anyway. Similar argument can be made for transformers fans and action masters / RED too.
I at least get it for action masters, cause like if I do decide to pick up the figure off the shelf, I want to have a good time with it. Which is impossible with RED Figures.
I sorely wish that I could have afforded Titan class Nemesis. I almost convinced myself that it didn't bother me that I couldn't get it and then you pop up singing it praises. Argh! Anyways good video as always.
Why do choose to number your footage? Rather than separate them into legacy and studio series, and then name each file with the figure name? I feel having them numbers makes them pretty difficult to reuse, and will just end up using storage on your device, : ( Btw this is not because I want to see footage of the figures, I don't mind
I'm not sure. Like to Canada probably, but like Europe I doubt, you can always check with them. I as an American, can't really tell if they don't ship to me because of my country.
I got the core class Nemesis Prime and for some reason one of his wheeks was unpainted...Wait a second! Even in the promotional art here there's an unpainted wheel! Wtf Hasbro?
I'll be in the minority in actually liking Metal Hawk. Feels significantly better in hand than Armada Starscream, and nowhere near as janky. He's big, fu, and simple to transform, and poses great. Only complaint is the grey plastic which Hasbro rectified on the repack making it more silver. Not to buy him again though for that reason. Out of this wave still only need the Armada Megatron. I actually don't miss the gimmicks or minicon accessories, and it's a good trade off for better articulation, engineering, and accuracy. Really hope they do Red Alert justice in 2025.
Armada Prime didn't pose ANYTHING like a Beast Wars figure. Beast Wars figures had incredibles posing for the time, while Armada had less posability then "G1". Armada did so poorly in sales Hasbro had to do a hard 180 and almost completely remove gemicks from Energon (aside of the line wide "Superlink" of course) just to convince people to come back to Transformers.
Hi PE have you seen my comment? I will argue that Crashbar is horrendous. He is literally Lieutenant Dan, because the legs are actively trying to make a break for it. His wheels do not stay in the calf at all. And you cannot possibly call those things attached below his legs as feet! I don't like Nemesis because of the arm flaps and the waffle knees. And stop saying those knees are guns.
Which comment are you talking about? And yeah that's like the one thing I really wish was different about these figures. Like it's cool that they don't have to partsform IN THEORY, but in practice they totally do. I don't think I mentioned the knees being guns? Also I think the arm flaps are fine cause you can take them off, and what's wrong with the knees? Like you can take off the ship wings for a smoother look, though I think it's fine otherwise.
I know you like the Legacy Megatron but I just can’t get behind it. For the price of a modern leader there’s no excuse for him to be missing his minicon. Grimlock was a better figure and he got a Wheelie as a free bonus that nobody asked for, you can’t convince me a minicon was out of the budget.

I would love to have your voice for the character of Blurr in an upcoming stop Motion film ❤
I'd be willing to provided it's not a ton of work. You can hit me up through discord, or twitter, or Gmail.
@@PerspectiveEnd awesome! 🙏🙏🙏 how can I get your email?
Hmmmm Yes the
"leg is evolving"
Yo, almost at 20k!
Very close indeed, thanks for sticking with me so long.
Dang it I was hoping this would be a transformers one review
Soon. SOOOOOOON.
The Nemesis is such a buy dude, she would be so much better if she had blast effects (in my opinion). But overall 10/10 figure would recommend (if you have the funds for it, because buying a titan is a whole commitment).
More Blast Effects are always appreciated, but man I love that giant lady.
@@PerspectiveEnd out of context that sounds so strange
Can you use the stock images with the stylized Legacy background (Like the images on Pulse) for these videos in the future? It would look visually much more interesting than a white background and still be the same amount of effort.
That is a decent point I had not considered. I thought putting them on the white was a better idea because it gave you a clearer looking, but you don't really need a clearer look do you?
I got a legacy animated prime and love it
I have it as well. It's a lot more fun than I expected.
@@PerspectiveEnd 10/10 love Derek J Wyatt's design my he rest in peace, Hopefully we can get animated Blitzwing
I want Prime Cliffjumper. And a good Knockout.
I headcanoned Knockout as a Seeker who changed his alt mode because he looks too much like Terrorsaur, who's a Seeker trying to be the next Starscream. So Knockout is Terrorsaur's great granduncle.
I think Transformers names are direct translations of their names in Cybertronian. Most of these names are translated into common languages like English, French, German, Russian, and Japanese, but names that originate from the high dialect translate into Greek and Latin. Some words, like Ferak, Vos, and Xaaron, don't have Earth equivalents, so they aren't translated.
Do you know about HFTD Backfire or ROTF Knockout (both are the same mold, but Backfire has some improvements)?
I got HFTD Backfire for 12 USD and he's really good.
I did not expect a movie toy to have a transformation rivaling TR Triggerhappy and Siege Hound. Yet here it is. HFTD Backfire.
I got him for the Kamen Rider vibes. And he has articulated drone wings, which really surprised me. Pure awesomeness.
Speaking about Scout class, I also have Cybertron Clocker who's also pretty great... except he doesn't have knee swivel and bicep swivel.
I also got Legacy Dead End for 12 bucks. QC is honestly almost perfect. The foot tab problem I have is very trivial. It goes together well, it just refuses to line up at the car rear. If I clip it off, it'll line up perfectly.
I could totally see Knockout ditching a seeker mode to become a car.
To be fair at the very least Vos is a city on cybertron, so it wouldn't have a translation.
Cant say I'm familiar with those two no.
That does sound like a great price though. And that's some high praise for the Transformation.
I don't know clocker either.
Glad to hear yours worked out a lot better than mine.
Shrapnel to me is a 7/10. Could be better, but not as horrible as you're claiming it to be. Bomb Burst is a decent Core class minion for Bludgeon to (via IDW). The rest I can't argue with.
Glad you like those two more than I do at least.
i need nemesis to get a reissue, i missed her the first time around.
Hopefully they bother with that, otherwise you are off to Ebay my friend.
so, question. Is this just a new version of the retrospective with some modified dance steps? Kind of feels like it
No this is not an alternative to the Retrospectives, this is an addition to them. These are in place of the WTB on Transformers Waves.
Hopefully getting commander jetfire for a not overpriced price next month. What pose should i display him in?
Dope! And I can't answer that, as it depends on your collection and where you have him in it.
Nemesis is by far the best figure own.
I love MP-13 Soundwave, but goddamn the Nemesis beats it by a long shot. At least for me.
Really? I mean I can kind of get it, though Soundwave is such simple bliss.
@@PerspectiveEndYeah, hell I'm "Snazzy Soundwave" I of all people should love Soundwave a lot
but there's just something about the Nemesis that makes me love it more, maybe it's the transformation or the fact she's my first Titan.
Leg evolution 🦵 🦍->🚶
Damn. You right.
Too bad, I'm still gonna try and get all the deluxe Insecticons.
If you want them then I just hope you find them way more satisfying than I do.
I'm hopefully watching transformers one this week. Also my phone is on full volume and I can barely hear the "please give"
Didn’t all of these figures come out quite a while ago?
Yeah this is Legacy Evolution Wave 2. I'm making my way up to the current waves.
How about you keep a .doc file with the cross-reference of number vs wave/collection? That will save you a lot of time.
Got myself the insecticon, the junkion, Prowl jr, Bomb-burst to pair with Iguanus, and Grimlock for the combiner.
I didn´t get Senator Crosscut because I already had Skids and Crankcase.
Dude transformers one is my favorite movie ever tied with Godzilla minus one
I don't get why Transformers fans complain about action features, they just transform them a couple times and shove them on a shelf to collect dust anyway. Similar argument can be made for transformers fans and action masters / RED too.
I at least get it for action masters, cause like if I do decide to pick up the figure off the shelf, I want to have a good time with it. Which is impossible with RED Figures.
Wait what about Skyquake
He wasn't in that wave. He was earlier in Legacy.
@@PerspectiveEnd oh ok
Will you be getting ss86 optimus when he releases? Im getting mine in November
I'm actively trying to find one yes.
Bro I’m going to buy the nemesis but I did skip her for a bit to by black zarack
I think you will love her when you can get your hands on her.
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah I’m getting her after my vacation
Core class Grimlock suddenly reminded me that I had the original Pretenders Grimlock. The Pretenders Grimlock is better than this Core class.
I sorely wish that I could have afforded Titan class Nemesis. I almost convinced myself that it didn't bother me that I couldn't get it and then you pop up singing it praises. Argh! Anyways good video as always.
Why do choose to number your footage? Rather than separate them into legacy and studio series, and then name each file with the figure name? I feel having them numbers makes them pretty difficult to reuse, and will just end up using storage on your device, : (
Btw this is not because I want to see footage of the figures, I don't mind
Hey dude I have a question! Does bbts ship internationally?
I'm not sure. Like to Canada probably, but like Europe I doubt, you can always check with them. I as an American, can't really tell if they don't ship to me because of my country.
@@PerspectiveEnd oh ok thx for the info!
I got the core class Nemesis Prime and for some reason one of his wheeks was unpainted...Wait a second! Even in the promotional art here there's an unpainted wheel! Wtf Hasbro?
I'll be in the minority in actually liking Metal Hawk. Feels significantly better in hand than Armada Starscream, and nowhere near as janky. He's big, fu, and simple to transform, and poses great. Only complaint is the grey plastic which Hasbro rectified on the repack making it more silver. Not to buy him again though for that reason. Out of this wave still only need the Armada Megatron. I actually don't miss the gimmicks or minicon accessories, and it's a good trade off for better articulation, engineering, and accuracy. Really hope they do Red Alert justice in 2025.
i love leg
Armada Prime didn't pose ANYTHING like a Beast Wars figure. Beast Wars figures had incredibles posing for the time, while Armada had less posability then "G1". Armada did so poorly in sales Hasbro had to do a hard 180 and almost completely remove gemicks from Energon (aside of the line wide "Superlink" of course) just to convince people to come back to Transformers.
Bendy Prime was the later released deluxe version of Armada Prime. More articulate, but really fidley in how he transformed. Mine eventually broke.
That's the joke I'm pretty sure. He said a bad BW figure. The best posing of Armada is comparable to the worst posing of BW.
why this wave is not coming to indonesia jbruh
Hi PE have you seen my comment?
I will argue that Crashbar is horrendous. He is literally Lieutenant Dan, because the legs are actively trying to make a break for it. His wheels do not stay in the calf at all. And you cannot possibly call those things attached below his legs as feet!
I don't like Nemesis because of the arm flaps and the waffle knees. And stop saying those knees are guns.
Which comment are you talking about?
And yeah that's like the one thing I really wish was different about these figures. Like it's cool that they don't have to partsform IN THEORY, but in practice they totally do.
I don't think I mentioned the knees being guns?
Also I think the arm flaps are fine cause you can take them off, and what's wrong with the knees? Like you can take off the ship wings for a smoother look, though I think it's fine otherwise.
Agree or disagree
To which ones/
@@PerspectiveEndcrosscut
Why don’t you just add the figure name next to the numbers on the footage
I know you like the Legacy Megatron but I just can’t get behind it. For the price of a modern leader there’s no excuse for him to be missing his minicon. Grimlock was a better figure and he got a Wheelie as a free bonus that nobody asked for, you can’t convince me a minicon was out of the budget.
So perspective, what did you think of the asshole Sentinel Prime in TF ONE?
