After giving hasbro and paramount tons of crap on ROTB, I can finally give them some credit. They’ve given us Aussies an advanced screening on June 9th so we can watch it at the same time as everyone else instead of waiting 2 weeks (the films release date in Australia is June 22nd)
The colors for Rhinox have changed from the photo renders to the final product. They announced that on the stream they went and changed them sometime after they did the photos. So he's got a lot more silver on him as opposed to that brown. I'm surprised you talked about the teases for Strongarm and Bludgeon but didn't at least mention Bombshell, Detritus, Shadowstriker, Dreadwing, Core Snarl, and Trashmaster. Rumors suggest that Shadowstriker is gonna be a pre-tool of RiD Sideburn. Meaning her design is gonna be a combination of her Cyberverse and Universe designs. I don't really like that. It's cool that by doing it this way we can get Sideburn, Roulette, and OG Shadowstriker, but I want a pure Cyberverse Shadowstriker with all the mismatched limbs.
There’s still a possibility the limbs will have different molding and colors to simulate that look, so I wouldn’t write her off just yet. I would hope designers would know that they can’t screw this up considering I believe this is the first time we’re getting a proper figure of that character.
I've realised something about gun hands at the beginning of the war yeah gun hands did not exist but by the end where bots like getaway where being born and thrust straight into war it'd make sense they would adopt gun hands and besides stasis cuffs are a thing to prevent the gun hands P.s my personal head canon is that as energon was running out they had to use there own which is why they are weaker than regular guns look at primes prime he had swords but when he got the star saber he switched to that
I like the little detail on the box of the “rise of tyranny” set that says “freedom is the right of all civilized beings” it’s a small detail but sums up pre war cybertron perfectly
i really love the look of the brawn figure, itd be a good way to get a figure that actually looks like the character and the alt mode is genuinely cool looking
I was going to comment on the rhinox colors but chances are probably like 20 other people have already commented on it lol, also love your channels you just seem to have a demeanor that no other Transformers UA-camr has and I love it 😁
I've been having interesting ideas about Nemesis Prime that gives him a character and an origin. Nemesis was never called Nemesis Prime in the past, but Delosus Major He's an arrogant, self aggrandizing autobot commander Due to Optimus's popularity amongst the Autobot army, he grew jealous and hated the rising Autobot leader. He was banished after a staged Decepticon attack that would make him look good. He'd swore revenge against the Autobot leader, changing his looks and renaming himself entirely, Nemesis Prime, the nemesis of Prime.
I actually think the Rhinox colors look pretty cool. It looks like hes in a suit of armor and his head looks like one of those roman helmets with a face on them. The proportions are pretty egregious though.
The reasons people hate him are the stone-slab legs and that his face is not accurate to the cartoon. Still a good figure, but it doesn't live up to what fans wanted. I think it's pretty ok too.
Thoughts on the studio series: Core DOTM Bee: Welcome, retool of a figure so bad it gives Kingdom Core Hot Rod a run for his money. Deluxe WFC Cliffjumper: expected the second WFC Bumblebee was announced. Deluxe 86 Rufus: congrats on getting a deluxe-scaled G1 Rufus. Voyager Takara Nemesis Prime: why isn't he a Buzzworthy Bumblebee exclusive? Voyager ROTB Optimus Prime: I love this figure from what we've seen. Voyager WFC Megatron: He looks alright. Voyager ROTB Rhinox: not as good as Cheetor, but appears fun.
Sorry about the lack of comment on the last video. I was at work and kinda forgot about it. It was a good vid, though. I watched it a few times on Wednesday. Anyways, reveals: - Burning Optimus Primal: Not feelin it, but my brother really likes the Burning design, so that’s cool. I definitely gotta tell him about the new one. - Earthspark Grimlock: Yeah, his design is pretty cool. Too bad he was only in ten minutes of the show so far. They also leaked Nightshade, and they’re my favorite Terran design, but they also look like a Kingdom/ROTB Airazor retool, so that sucks for people who wanted a new mold for them. I may be wrong though. - IDW collection: I definitely need these. The Orion Pax looks kinda weird, but I need more prequel guys to go with my Wardawn and Buzzworthy guys, and these look like they’ll fit the bill nicely. - And Rufus. I don’t care about Robosen, Gamer Edition, or ROTB, so I’m just gonna say I’m getting all of the Spacebridge reveals(except Core Snarl).
It's totally fine don't worry about it. It's definitely strange that Orion Pax has the wrong chest. I'm not allowed to care about figures so I'll probably wind up getting the Gamer Edition stuff.
The Brawn is SS86, I made a joke on TFW2005 about it being a bad figure because there is no blast effect peg on his left shoulder (especially since I guess Prowl will have a "dying" variant with the smoke coming out of his mouth and all. I also pre-ordered the Ratbat and Megatron, you might want to jump on it as the prices on the sets are swapped around las I checked.
For the moment I just want to focus on ROTB Optimus and Rhinox. Man do I love the look of Optimus’ figure here. When I first saw the reveal for the SS 38 I fell in love with that thing, and when I saw the leaked images for this guy it managed to recapture that love. The only negatives I can see about this figure are the lack of silver paint on the light grey parts, the truck bed not being as near perfect as the SS 38 figures’, and the Hot Rod shoulders. However I still think the figure looks good as it is for the moment, we’ve seen worse truck beds on figures, and the only time Hot Rod shoulders ever really bothered me were with the BB Soundwave figure; mainly because he was so chunky and his arms were too close to his torso. Though what I have a gripe about is the product photography not finishing the transformation for the alt mode. They didn’t fold out the fuel tanks on the legs, and they didn’t fold down the hinged shoulder flaps that are supposed fold down and cover the rest of the arm kibble in truck mode. Also, yeah that hand gun is dinky. It’s not even accurate to the shape, size, and color of Prime’s hand gun in the film; but both SS 38 and the mainline figure have the ion blaster so you can try and use one of those on the SS 102. So other than questioning why this guy is releasing in Buzzworthy Bumblebee first, I’m definitely gonna try and get him day one. And if he gets a premium figure that makes him look even better, I’ll get that one too. As for Rhinox, the actual figure will have way less brown on it. It will mostly be grey and silver with a few faded brown paint applications. But yeah, aesthetically it is a boring color scheme. Though the actual shaping of the robot mode looks pretty decent. He probably has the most accurate head shaping when compared to his original BW design and the rhino mode looks fun. Obviously I don’t think they were ever going to have a giant, fanged Rhino jaw on his torso in live action, though maybe they could have molded some spiked parks on his chest that could have mimicked that old design aspect. Other than that I think he’s so far my favorite of the SS Maximal figures. But it would be awesome if Takara comes in and give the SS Maximal figures a cartoon accurate premium finish paint job like they’re doing for the Kingdom figures. Season 1 colors on this Rhinox and the inevitable Optimus Primal would just look fantastic on those figures. Though it would make Airazor closer to just being the Kingdom figure other than sharing the same exact transformation. And for Cheetor I’d hope that, instead of giving him season 1 colors, Takara leans in on how SS Cheetor looks closer to Transmetal 2 Cheetor and gives him colors that more so match the TM2 color scheme.
Apparently the Optimus also has Hotrod Shoulders. Yeah I noticed the Fuel Tanks my self. I mean hold your horses, if the figure only looks good but isn't fun otherwise do you still want a Premium figure of it? Yeah I saw that in had it had less brown, which I don't know I can call an improvement. And you know what you are right, He might just have the most accurate head which is weird.
@@PerspectiveEnd From what I’m seeing of the Optimus figure, it looks like he’ll have an overall better plastic quality compared to the SS 38, based on the way light bounces off him in some of the images we’ve seen. And from said images, it looks like he’ll have an intriguing transformation. The designers said that the only aspects borrowed from SS 38 are the chest windows and the wheels; the former of which has different molding done to it. I’m definitely still waiting to see how the transformation will work, mainly from someone who finds a way to get the figure early, but for the most part right now SS 102 is shaping up to look like a really solid figure.
so the senator ratbat and megatron are 2 voyagers, which today would be 2 $35 figures, and the set is being sold for $55. So tell me, why on earth is the shockwave and orion pax set, a set of a $35 voyager and $25 deluxe, $70.
I don't know if you already covered it, but what do you think of that Earthspark Nightshade figure that got revealed? Or Shadowstriker getting a figure? I'm personally more excited for her than Strongarm
BTW did you notice the shadowed background image of Nova Prime in the Senator Shockwave and data clerk Orion Pax box art? Do you think this might be a tease for a future Legacy Nova Prime figure?
From reviews I’ve seen the WFC Bumblebee is pretty solid, really the biggest issue is his torso looking dumpy. Definitely going to try and get him and maybe Cliffjumper as well as megatron
Welcome Brother. I legitimately can't understand how people have tolerance for her. Like I don't want to be the dude who hates female characters, but this one in particular, is just insufferable. She'd make WAY more sense as a Decepticon than an autobot. At least then her Hypocrisy would be a feature, instead here I'm left wondering if they realized that's what they were doing with her character.
7:30 To me, I haven’t dove deep into IDW beyond MTMTE and Lost Light, but I think it’s because Shockwave and Orion Pax are kind of stretching their molds. Shockwave had a busy design in detail and silhouette, and that contrasts with the detailed bit only being the chest piece and head imo. Pax I think only has minor differences from the comic look
5:23 Some mobile suits and even Gundams do have arm weapons built in, but it’s either in the hand (see: Destiny Gundam, standard Gouf, Doven Wolf, etc), looking like it’s arm mounted (Hi-Nu Gundam, Gouf Custom, Gundam Alex, etc), or storing beam sabers (Sazabi, Nu Gundam, Hi-Nu Gundam, Gundam Pharact, Sinanju, Unicorn Gundam, etc)
If it weren't for what I assume to be durability concerns, I reckon - - the inner sides of the shins could've folded down on a protruding hinge to sit between the thighs, with muktipke small pegs to hold the legs together. - the robot missile pods could've folded on a hinge to sit inline with the wheels, and folding inwards to rest on the underside of the knees in truck mode. - the foot could've been five parts, with the ankle being a mushroom peg, with room to slide it forward, shortening the truck bed length, and the outside of the foot could've folded forwards at a hinge at toes with pegs to attach to the folded leg panels, revealing a trailer port and flattening the bed a tad A peg would also fold out of one of the foot soles to work in conjectuon with the inner leg panel legs to hold everything together. The shoulders forgo the protruding missile pods from Bumblebee in Rise of The Beasts, being much more subtle. They could've removed them (they're grey, like the conteol art) and had a panel on the back side fold on a hinge to replace them. That would allow for a normal shoulder joint, working in conjunction with the inner joint to give the arms incredible range. If a proper shoulder still wasn't possible, the front shoulder panel should have been connected to the rear of the wheel well, folding onto the top of the shoulder at a hinge.
You doing the beaker voice for war for cybertron megatron is like whenever people on Twitter complain about a good figure that's coming out All i see is literally them going "MI MI MI MI MI"
That O.G Waspinator was my first unofficial first tf, my older cousin saw me enjoy it from bug-to-bot, and gave it to me, intact. No surprise beastwars was my intro into the franchise😅
I don't know of anyone has mentioned it yet, but the SS RotB Optimus Prime is transformed wrong in truck mode in the stock photos. If you look at the one they physically revealed on stream, there are additional panels that fold down to clean up the truck mode, and it looks significantly better
Since they are doing the og season 1 cast, Premium Dinobot and Terrorsaur are a must, since they’re the ones who benefit the most from a bit more paint. I wonder if they’ll eventually do the extra season 1 characters like Tigatron, Blackarachnia, Airazor and Inferno.
I suprised you only talked about Strongarm and bludgeon, but then again, i just guessing that the opinion on the other characters is "no opinion yet, i'll wait till i see it"
See there is a problem with relying on others to get your information. Even with 4 of them helping me out, only one of them bothered to send me those 2 characters, so I didn't know others had happened.
Rhinoxs stock photogrophy is wrong, they said during the stream that his colors were changed last minute, and that the stock photogrophy was now innacurate During the stream, the rhinox they showed off had stone grey instead of brown, and it was a final production model I also had my shattered glass grimlock arrive, and damn... hes looking better than the standard g1 grimlock...
My Autobot version of the DJD's main feature isn't violence, more like so extremely loyal and self-righteous they do violent things. Except for Impactor. That's why I want RID 2015 Strongarm. She's the heavy weapons personnel, Prowl is a ninja, and Impactor is a mix of a hoplite and a berserker. When Cliffjumper fails hard, who replaces him? Grimlock's personality just fits a robot pet better than Optimus. Optimus is just too serious, and telling him to do simple things for us doesn't feel right. These robots walk around, bump into things, and they have to be ordered around. Yeah, it should've been Grimlock from the beginning, he's the perfect choice. 86 Brawn, ugly as ever. But this is an amazing Brawn. I'll totally buy this. Hope Legacy Powerglide is good. I actually love ROTB Rhinox. He's just an awesome version of Tin Man with a cool rhino mode. And the beast mode is ABSOLUTELY RAD on the SS version. I just can't wait for WFC game Warpath. If something as astronomically awful as Barricade can get in, why not Warpath? He's easily the coolest design in the WFC game. Do you think WFC game Barricade fits as Skullgrin's goons? Is 23 bucks a good price for Legacy Override?
Their main thing isn't Violence, it's Violence because they are Self Righteous? I'd agree that Grimlock is a better fit. Being ugly is what makes Brawn great. I don't know that I'd agree that he's any kind of version of the tin man. I think the WFC Game Barricade is probably bigger than Skullgrin so probably not.
Waspinator TeRrOrIzE, not gonna lie, the gamer edition Megatron looks very accurate to the game. And if you know me by now, I love toys that look accurate.
Yeah, his robot mode looks almost perfect. But his tank mode looks… stumpy, I guess? It feels a little short considering how long the cannon is. They really should’ve made Megatron a leader class, considering they seem to be going with ingame sizes and Megatron (and funnily enough, Brawl and Warpath as well) are at least two heads taller and much beefier.
8:03 Okay I feel I got jipped. My dad got this thing but it didn't come with the fire affect piece. This is probably the first time I ever got a "toy" that was missing an accessory in the box.
Genuinely curious here, why doesn’t scourge count as a character behind nemesis prime? Like if you’re talking about the movie version or something then fair enough but rid 2001 scourge is just straight up nemesis prime and it’s his character who I see behind every black optimus repaint
That's a Tough question to Answer, because the first time the name Nemesis Prime was used, it was on a character who very specifically did not have a character. Which has always suggested that they are separate, even if Scourge is the inspiration for the color scheme, who him self has his colors inspired by Copy Convoy. So you aren't wrong, but it's not a Definitive answer.
Hey perspective, since we are talking about reveals i just wondered what are some of your most wanted figures to happen in legacy ? For me its depth charge rampage dual pack, armada sideways, armada thrust (could be a easy redeco/retool of cyclonus), animated lockdown, punch/counterpunch, cyberverse deadend, rid skybite and the combaticons. Also what do you think about my picks ?
@@PerspectiveEnd a hyper chug shockwave (ss 86 please make it happen 🥲🥲) or a bbm one that’s in an appropriate size. I would get the siege one but i fear the day that hasbro just surprises us with a new one and makes buying it worth nothing. I’m already hearing rumors of a bbm voyager shockwave
Surprised no mention was made of Bombshell or Dreadwing. And my crack pipe dream for Bludgeon is that his head isn't the classic skull head, but the "Half-head" design with the busted up mouth with all the wires hanging down from the original IDW run
I think some of the disappointment for the Orion Shockwave boxset could come down to the fact that Orion is a Hound retool. The Hound body type is quite boxy while Orion in the comics and with his last set of toys was portrayed as thin and sleek. Especially if you look at his Thrilling 30 figure.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Nova Prime tease, we’ve been waiting over 10 years for that character to get a proper toy, I am so ready for this imperialist maniac to be on my shelf.
There are plenty of evil batmans' such as the batman who laughs, dinosaur batman and monster truck batman. I wish I was kidding about these evil batman versions...
The night before Orion and Shockwave were revealed me and my brother were theorizing what they could be. I thought they would be a retool of Jhiaxus and Siege Ironhide, my brother thought the Siege Seeker and Siege Hound. Guess who won. I think both molds would work better as the other. At least Ironhide would scale better and I just want the Jhiaxus mold without getting that figure.
@@PerspectiveEnd Her character was bland as hell what happened to the good days of transformers characters having a personality even michael "bumass" bay ruined optimus forever cuz now he's an emotionless killing machine instead of the wise and brave veteran he was in G1
Both SS Brawn and WFC Megatron are the ones I'm the most hyped for. Strange as I'm not the biggest fan of the high moon designs. You've sold me on the robosen Grimlock. Damn, what a cool idea, the ultimate hype man. They better get Greg Berger to voice him
I'm surprised you didn't mention anything about the SS ROTB Prime being cursed with Hot Rod Shoulders from immediate look, since I remember that on display, a good chunk of people noticed he has Hot Rod Shoulders
with a better head that cud be a good idw stand in grimlock. and which god damn version of optimus is that two pack supposed to represent? his chest looks somewhat like one of his cybertronian alt modes but it is on the complety wrong body.
@@PerspectiveEnd it’s time to try to work my magic too: man, it sure would be a shame if we got 86 Swoop, a new BW Snapper, a core class Wheeljack, space Wheeljack, and a do over of Netflix Soundwave
Not quite, it Predates him and actually sources from Copy Convoy from Beast Wars Neo I think it was. And there's another difference in that Scourge was just a guy who looked Generally Similar to Optimus. But Firetruck Optimus prime was Completely distinct from his design. He wasn't so much an Evil Doppelganger, as he was an evil dude who wore similar close in a different color.
I can't wait to get my hands on that Brawn and ROTB Optimus, and both because their robot modes are fuckin killing it. I really hope the kibble on the back of Optimus' truck mode isn't as bad as I think, because if so we have a contender for the best movie Optimus figure ever in my humble opinion.
I don't know about that honestly. It looks a Little Stiff, it's got Hotrod shoulders, and it's a bit messy. The BB Optimus in my humble opinion was better.
I actually hope strong arm is a brand new mold and really good at that. Not because I liked her character, but because I want to add more trucks to my auto bots. Here’s hoping she’s a good truck fembot mold that gets a couple repaints.
I don't know about that man. Like sure they got Resculpted but, like the feet have the same hinge in them. I expect the window to fold out of the bottom of them. This might just be a Heavy retool.
@@PerspectiveEnd If it's resculpted then it's not using the same tooling. If it's not using the same tooling then it's not a retool. A retool is a figure that reuses parts from a previous release. No parts reuse, no retool.
Am i the only one thinking that they gave the amazon 2 packs switched prices? Like, the ratbat and megatron with 2 voyagers costs about $55, and the orion and shockwave with a deluxe and voyager costs $66. And this isnt even the weird price gouging that amazon trnds to do, these were the prices the day listing started.
And people actually wanted strongarm weird considering not a lot of people like rid 2015 I'm mostly interested in seeing Shadow striker and Dreadwing instead
I am so happy to see that brawn looks like a proper upgrade from my old titans return figure. I feel like beachcomber is just meh. And doesn’t justify $40 Australian when I got the PotP one for maybe 10, and I love it.
I actually like the look of the Rhinox. He should have shorter legs to make him look more squat as a character. I do hate the brown on him though and will try to repaint him.
We shall see the curse take effect soon..
It did before this video even came out with Earthspark Deluxe Nightshade, and the today with SG Hot Rod
@@thecodfather6280 nightshade doesn't count because by PE's own rules the curse only acrivates the moment he releases the video and the day after

When he said tighter shirt for clif I automatically thought of the scene from ROTF when a guy said there is no tighter shirt we checked
The one good joke in any of those movies.
I've realised something about gun hands at the beginning of the war yeah gun hands did not exist but by the end where bots like getaway where being born and thrust straight into war it'd make sense they would adopt gun hands and besides stasis cuffs are a thing to prevent the gun hands
P.s my personal head canon is that as energon was running out they had to use there own which is why they are weaker than regular guns look at primes prime he had swords but when he got the star saber he switched to that
I like the little detail on the box of the “rise of tyranny” set that says “freedom is the right of all civilized beings” it’s a small detail but sums up pre war cybertron perfectly

I've been having interesting ideas about Nemesis Prime that gives him a character and an origin.
Nemesis was never called Nemesis Prime in the past, but Delosus Major
He's an arrogant, self aggrandizing autobot commander
Due to Optimus's popularity amongst the Autobot army, he grew jealous and hated the rising Autobot leader.
He was banished after a staged Decepticon attack that would make him look good.
He'd swore revenge against the Autobot leader, changing his looks and renaming himself entirely, Nemesis Prime, the nemesis of Prime.
thats good
Huh? Some of the versions I read say that he is Nova prime?
@@mechgouki7999 Those are official sources, like I said, this is my own interesting ideas for Nemesis Prime
This sounds like something animated would have done
@@theplanwiththeman7028 Man, I miss Animated...such good promise for the conceptualized final season
Now to keep an eye out for new reveals in the next few days
Yeah the curse will probably kick in.
I actually think the Rhinox colors look pretty cool. It looks like hes in a suit of armor and his head looks like one of those roman helmets with a face on them. The proportions are pretty egregious though.
The reasons people hate him are the stone-slab legs and that his face is not accurate to the cartoon. Still a good figure, but it doesn't live up to what fans wanted. I think it's pretty ok too.
Thoughts on earthspark?
I still need to watch the whole show. Maybe when the Second season comes out I'll finally remember to.
The colors on the in hand Rhinox are not only different but better.
This exactly
I used to have a toy of RID Strongarm when I was a kid but I’ve since lost it
Now, let's see if the curse sets in
Thoughts on the studio series:
Core DOTM Bee: Welcome, retool of a figure so bad it gives Kingdom Core Hot Rod a run for his money.
Deluxe WFC Cliffjumper: expected the second WFC Bumblebee was announced.
Deluxe 86 Rufus: congrats on getting a deluxe-scaled G1 Rufus.
Voyager Takara Nemesis Prime: why isn't he a Buzzworthy Bumblebee exclusive?
Voyager ROTB Optimus Prime: I love this figure from what we've seen.

It's definitely strange that Orion Pax has the wrong chest.
I'm not allowed to care about figures so I'll probably wind up getting the Gamer Edition stuff.
i want that Earthspark grimlock and Gamer cliffjumper
The Brawn is SS86, I made a joke on TFW2005 about it being a bad figure because there is no blast effect peg on his left shoulder (especially since I guess Prowl will have a "dying" variant with the smoke coming out of his mouth and all.

“Legacy Rufus.”
Rufus's Legacy can not be tainted.
For the moment I just want to focus on ROTB Optimus and Rhinox.

Apparently the Optimus also has Hotrod Shoulders.
Yeah I noticed the Fuel Tanks my self.
I mean hold your horses, if the figure only looks good but isn't fun otherwise do you still want a Premium figure of it?
Yeah I saw that in had it had less brown, which I don't know I can call an improvement.
And you know what you are right, He might just have the most accurate head which is weird.
@@PerspectiveEnd From what I’m seeing of the Optimus figure, it looks like he’ll have an overall better plastic quality compared to the SS 38, based on the way light bounces off him in some of the images we’ve seen. And from said images, it looks like he’ll have an intriguing transformation. The designers said that the only aspects borrowed from SS 38 are the chest windows and the wheels; the former of which has different molding done to it.
I’m definitely still waiting to see how the transformation will work, mainly from someone who finds a way to get the figure early, but for the most part right now SS 102 is shaping up to look like a really solid figure.
I think SS Optimus might has Hot Rod shoulders.
The Severed nerd leg that comes with Grimlock! You made my day! LOL!
Something that I think is teasing a figure for the future is in the senator shockwave and pax two pack you can see nova prime in the background
Yes I saw that, there is a good chance that that is coming.
so the senator ratbat and megatron are 2 voyagers, which today would be 2 $35 figures, and the set is being sold for $55. So tell me, why on earth is the shockwave and orion pax set, a set of a $35 voyager and $25 deluxe, $70.
Maybe they accidentally swapped the prices.
I don't know if you already covered it, but what do you think of that Earthspark Nightshade figure that got revealed? Or Shadowstriker getting a figure? I'm personally more excited for her than Strongarm
BTW did you notice the shadowed background image of Nova Prime in the Senator Shockwave and data clerk Orion Pax box art?
Do you think this might be a tease for a future Legacy Nova Prime figure?
Yes I saw it, and yeah, it's very possible that they were teasing a Nova Figure.
From reviews I’ve seen the WFC Bumblebee is pretty solid, really the biggest issue is his torso looking dumpy. Definitely going to try and get him and maybe Cliffjumper as well as megatron
Finally, someone else who doesn't like Strongarm's personally
Welcome Brother.
I legitimately can't understand how people have tolerance for her. Like I don't want to be the dude who hates female characters, but this one in particular, is just insufferable.
She'd make WAY more sense as a Decepticon than an autobot. At least then her Hypocrisy would be a feature, instead here I'm left wondering if they realized that's what they were doing with her character.
Oh yeah i've been meaning to ask since legacy armada megatron is in leader class would make sense for tidalwave to be in commander class?
7:30 To me, I haven’t dove deep into IDW beyond MTMTE and Lost Light, but I think it’s because Shockwave and Orion Pax are kind of stretching their molds. Shockwave had a busy design in detail and silhouette, and that contrasts with the detailed bit only being the chest piece and head imo. Pax I think only has minor differences from the comic look
Pax definitely has problems, they tried to fuze his two designs into one, so he has the wrong chest.
I hope that since they revealed strongarm that they don’t do the ultra bee combiner although I do like combiners that would just be too much
Yeah that thing was always way more of a Cheat than most other Combiners.
5:23 Some mobile suits and even Gundams do have arm weapons built in, but it’s either in the hand (see: Destiny Gundam, standard Gouf, Doven Wolf, etc), looking like it’s arm mounted (Hi-Nu Gundam, Gouf Custom, Gundam Alex, etc), or storing beam sabers (Sazabi, Nu Gundam, Hi-Nu Gundam, Gundam Pharact, Sinanju, Unicorn Gundam, etc)
Using body parts as storage I don't see as the same thing. It's not intended to be the main way it's used, just a back up.
If it weren't for what I assume to be durability concerns, I reckon -
- the inner sides of the shins could've folded down on a protruding hinge to sit between the thighs, with muktipke small pegs to hold the legs together.
- the robot missile pods could've folded on a hinge to sit inline with the wheels, and folding inwards to rest on the underside of the knees in truck mode.
- the foot could've been five parts, with the ankle being a mushroom peg, with room to slide it forward, shortening the truck bed length, and the outside of the foot could've folded forwards at a hinge at toes with pegs to attach to the folded leg panels, revealing a trailer port and flattening the bed a tad A peg would also fold out of one of the foot soles to work in conjectuon with the inner leg panel legs to hold everything together.
The shoulders forgo the protruding missile pods from Bumblebee in Rise of The Beasts, being much more subtle. They could've removed them (they're grey, like the conteol art) and had a panel on the back side fold on a hinge to replace them. That would allow for a normal shoulder joint, working in conjunction with the inner joint to give the arms incredible range. If a proper shoulder still wasn't possible, the front shoulder panel should have been connected to the rear of the wheel well, folding onto the top of the shoulder at a hinge.
You doing the beaker voice for war for cybertron megatron is like whenever people on Twitter complain about a good figure that's coming out
All i see is literally them going "MI MI MI MI MI"
That's a funny way to immagine them speaking.
That O.G Waspinator was my first unofficial first tf, my older cousin saw me enjoy it from bug-to-bot, and gave it to me, intact. No surprise beastwars was my intro into the franchise😅
Beast Wars was a great place to enter on, and I loved Waspinator he was one of my first figures too.
I don't know of anyone has mentioned it yet, but the SS RotB Optimus Prime is transformed wrong in truck mode in the stock photos. If you look at the one they physically revealed on stream, there are additional panels that fold down to clean up the truck mode, and it looks significantly better
I can't wait for the Brawn so I can have an Earth mode version for my Bumblebee movie Brawn.
That's a weird but Valid way to look at it.
I think the changes in Tarn to make Bludgeon will be just the head, chest and weapons.
I expect more than that, since the knees and feet are very distinctively Tarn.
@@PerspectiveEnd those arent, but we know hasbro is lazy
Since they are doing the og season 1 cast, Premium Dinobot and Terrorsaur are a must, since they’re the ones who benefit the most from a bit more paint. I wonder if they’ll eventually do the extra season 1 characters like Tigatron, Blackarachnia, Airazor and Inferno.
Yeah we need a Premium Dinobot, and yeah Terrorsaur needs a lot of work.
I suprised you only talked about Strongarm and bludgeon, but then again, i just guessing that the opinion on the other characters is "no opinion yet, i'll wait till i see it"
See there is a problem with relying on others to get your information.
Even with 4 of them helping me out, only one of them bothered to send me those 2 characters, so I didn't know others had happened.
i gotta correct ya on the rhinox bit, they said that the colors on him where chosen really early on before they received the finished colors
Andrew seen what those finished colors are in their basically all grey.
Rhinoxs stock photogrophy is wrong, they said during the stream that his colors were changed last minute, and that the stock photogrophy was now innacurate
During the stream, the rhinox they showed off had stone grey instead of brown, and it was a final production model
I also had my shattered glass grimlock arrive, and damn... hes looking better than the standard g1 grimlock...
Yes, it's EVEN MORE BORING now.
I'm glad you are enjoying that thing so much.
My Autobot version of the DJD's main feature isn't violence, more like so extremely loyal and self-righteous they do violent things. Except for Impactor.
That's why I want RID 2015 Strongarm.
She's the heavy weapons personnel, Prowl is a ninja, and Impactor is a mix of a hoplite and a berserker. When Cliffjumper fails hard, who replaces him?
Grimlock's personality just fits a robot pet better than Optimus.
Optimus is just too serious, and telling him to do simple things for us doesn't feel right.
These robots walk around, bump into things, and they have to be ordered around. Yeah, it should've been Grimlock from the beginning, he's the perfect choice.
86 Brawn, ugly as ever. But this is an amazing Brawn. I'll totally buy this.
Hope Legacy Powerglide is good.
I actually love ROTB Rhinox. He's just an awesome version of Tin Man with a cool rhino mode. And the beast mode is ABSOLUTELY RAD on the SS version.
I just can't wait for WFC game Warpath. If something as astronomically awful as Barricade can get in, why not Warpath?
He's easily the coolest design in the WFC game.
Do you think WFC game Barricade fits as Skullgrin's goons?
Is 23 bucks a good price for Legacy Override?
Their main thing isn't Violence, it's Violence because they are Self Righteous?
I'd agree that Grimlock is a better fit.
Being ugly is what makes Brawn great.
I don't know that I'd agree that he's any kind of version of the tin man.
I think the WFC Game Barricade is probably bigger than Skullgrin so probably not.
Nemisis prime needs fiction and his teal mouthplate
That might help yes.
Waspinator TeRrOrIzE, not gonna lie, the gamer edition Megatron looks very accurate to the game. And if you know me by now, I love toys that look accurate.
Well that’s just prime
Yeah, his robot mode looks almost perfect. But his tank mode looks… stumpy, I guess? It feels a little short considering how long the cannon is. They really should’ve made Megatron a leader class, considering they seem to be going with ingame sizes and Megatron (and funnily enough, Brawl and Warpath as well) are at least two heads taller and much beefier.
i just realized that they made strongarm a realistic cop, just less violent because its a kids show.
Have we heard anything about leader 86 Swoop or do we need to wait till end of summer to hear anything.
8:03 Okay I feel I got jipped. My dad got this thing but it didn't come with the fire affect piece. This is probably the first time I ever got a "toy" that was missing an accessory in the box.
I mean you should probably call Robosen. I'm sure they don't want the blemish on their record.
3:02 - 3:05 and with all three of these figures combined, you have failed to not get mad because these exist
That's my secret cap, I always fail.
@@PerspectiveEnd we must all fail at something to make sure that we haven’t gone too far into insanity.
gun hands are sick. Megaman and Samus rock them so well.
Genuinely curious here, why doesn’t scourge count as a character behind nemesis prime? Like if you’re talking about the movie version or something then fair enough but rid 2001 scourge is just straight up nemesis prime and it’s his character who I see behind every black optimus repaint
That's a Tough question to Answer, because the first time the name Nemesis Prime was used, it was on a character who very specifically did not have a character.
Which has always suggested that they are separate, even if Scourge is the inspiration for the color scheme, who him self has his colors inspired by Copy Convoy.
So you aren't wrong, but it's not a Definitive answer.
Hey perspective, since we are talking about reveals i just wondered what are some of your most wanted figures to happen in legacy ? For me its depth charge rampage dual pack, armada sideways, armada thrust (could be a easy redeco/retool of cyclonus), animated lockdown, punch/counterpunch, cyberverse deadend, rid skybite and the combaticons. Also what do you think about my picks ?
Literally anything Beast Wars I'm here for. The Combaticons. Anything IDW. Theres a lot I hope to see.
I saw the notification and my first thought was "great, we'll see some new leaks later today"
Grimlock comes with *inhale THE LEG
It hurts me how much hate Retrax gets. It may only be because I enjoyed finding roly poly bugs behind my house, but I loved that figure as a kid.
Im patiently waiting on a shockwave NO NOT THE SENATOR
Then which one are you waiting for.
@@PerspectiveEnd a hyper chug shockwave (ss 86 please make it happen 🥲🥲) or a bbm one that’s in an appropriate size. I would get the siege one but i fear the day that hasbro just surprises us with a new one and makes buying it worth nothing. I’m already hearing rumors of a bbm voyager shockwave
Surprised no mention was made of Bombshell or Dreadwing.
And my crack pipe dream for Bludgeon is that his head isn't the classic skull head, but the "Half-head" design with the busted up mouth with all the wires hanging down from the original IDW run
I was not sent pictures of those reveals by any of my 4 accomplices.
I'd be way more down for that Head too.
Don't worry. They changed the rhinox colors at the last second... to make it completely gray.
What a wonderful decision.
I think what happened with the wednesday video Is that people thought it was a Yugi oh video.
There is a Real chance of that.
2:34 me: "looks up a pic of manterror and transquito" goodbye my sweet prince
Did not expect you to name drop Gundam but thanks!
You ware welcome Domon Kasshu.
@@PerspectiveEnd NICE!
I think some of the disappointment for the Orion Shockwave boxset could come down to the fact that Orion is a Hound retool. The Hound body type is quite boxy while Orion in the comics and with his last set of toys was portrayed as thin and sleek. Especially if you look at his Thrilling 30 figure.
I don't know that I'd call that Version of Orion Thin and Sleek, but his chest is definitely the wrong shape.
I think I enjoy this kind of video the most
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Nova Prime tease, we’ve been waiting over 10 years for that character to get a proper toy, I am so ready for this imperialist maniac to be on my shelf.
I didn't notice that till after the video was Recorded.
There are plenty of evil batmans' such as the batman who laughs, dinosaur batman and monster truck batman. I wish I was kidding about these evil batman versions...
It's been a while since I made this video, what's the timestamp that's a reference to?
The night before Orion and Shockwave were revealed me and my brother were theorizing what they could be. I thought they would be a retool of Jhiaxus and Siege Ironhide, my brother thought the Siege Seeker and Siege Hound. Guess who won. I think both molds would work better as the other. At least Ironhide would scale better and I just want the Jhiaxus mold without getting that figure.
That Orion set looks neat
7:18 is that jolteon
Thanks now I can’t unsee that
@@aaroncheda1680 your welcome
Love the video
Quick question do you plan on doing an earthspark review when the first season concludes?
Yes I do plan to do that.
I love the Cotton Hill joke. 😂
Thank you!
@@PerspectiveEnd you're welcome 😁
The Robosen Grimlock looks kinda like the Gigapower version.
They flat stole the chest yes. Fair when Gigapower stole the head.
Some good figures but other than that why the hell would they choose rid:15 strongarm of all characters to do in the next wave
It's not a Bad Design, it's just they bungled the character. But they've Bungled EVERYTHING for like a Decade now.
@@PerspectiveEnd Her character was bland as hell what happened to the good days of transformers characters having a personality even michael "bumass" bay ruined optimus forever cuz now he's an emotionless killing machine instead of the wise and brave veteran he was in G1
Both SS Brawn and WFC Megatron are the ones I'm the most hyped for. Strange as I'm not the biggest fan of the high moon designs. You've sold me on the robosen Grimlock. Damn, what a cool idea, the ultimate hype man. They better get Greg Berger to voice him
Hey PE, what do you think of that 3rd party helicopter Waspinator?
I have it, and I need to make a video on that.
They also mentioned Legacy Bombshell as a next wave but unfortunately no pictures yet
The red optimus primal is gonna have clear plastic syndrome
Will it? Why is that?
I'm surprised you didn't mention anything about the SS ROTB Prime being cursed with Hot Rod Shoulders from immediate look, since I remember that on display, a good chunk of people noticed he has Hot Rod Shoulders
Yeah I did flat out forget to do that.
with a better head that cud be a good idw stand in grimlock. and which god damn version of optimus is that two pack supposed to represent? his chest looks somewhat like one of his cybertronian alt modes but it is on the complety wrong body.
Here’s hoping this video results in a new reveal of something cool, I’m hoping for 86 Swoop
That would be Dope. Come on curse you know you want to.
@@PerspectiveEnd it’s time to try to work my magic too: man, it sure would be a shame if we got 86 Swoop, a new BW Snapper, a core class Wheeljack, space Wheeljack, and a do over of Netflix Soundwave
I Hope the grimlock is exactly as you said if I had a little robo-Dino hype man I will buy it no matter the price
We can all only hope.
How does rid scourge not count? Hes my second favorite characters from that show.
Because that's Scourge, and not Nemesis Prime.
I would argue he is, just with a different name, the whole nemesis color design and concept stemmed from him.
Not quite, it Predates him and actually sources from Copy Convoy from Beast Wars Neo I think it was.
And there's another difference in that Scourge was just a guy who looked Generally Similar to Optimus.
But Firetruck Optimus prime was Completely distinct from his design. He wasn't so much an Evil Doppelganger, as he was an evil dude who wore similar close in a different color.
Ok that makes sense, my bad.
Gotta say, reveals are something to look forward to.
I can't wait to get my hands on that Brawn and ROTB Optimus, and both because their robot modes are fuckin killing it.
I really hope the kibble on the back of Optimus' truck mode isn't as bad as I think, because if so we have a contender for the best movie Optimus figure ever in my humble opinion.
I don't know about that honestly. It looks a Little Stiff, it's got Hotrod shoulders, and it's a bit messy.
The BB Optimus in my humble opinion was better.
I actually hope strong arm is a brand new mold and really good at that. Not because I liked her character, but because I want to add more trucks to my auto bots. Here’s hoping she’s a good truck fembot mold that gets a couple repaints.
Knowing hasbro, that's likely
I figure she will probably be a Rufus retool or maybe a Nomal Hound one.
@@PerspectiveEnd siege hound maybe but Rufus would be crazy
I just checked Siege Hound's legs against the reveal pictures of Brawn and there's no way those are the same parts. Not a retool.
I don't know about that man. Like sure they got Resculpted but, like the feet have the same hinge in them. I expect the window to fold out of the bottom of them. This might just be a Heavy retool.
@@PerspectiveEnd If it's resculpted then it's not using the same tooling. If it's not using the same tooling then it's not a retool. A retool is a figure that reuses parts from a previous release. No parts reuse, no retool.
5:33 I can’t unsee this now
Am i the only one thinking that they gave the amazon 2 packs switched prices? Like, the ratbat and megatron with 2 voyagers costs about $55, and the orion and shockwave with a deluxe and voyager costs $66.
And this isnt even the weird price gouging that amazon trnds to do, these were the prices the day listing started.
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what happened. It's the only way it makes sense.
You’re actually not too far off the with the “disembodied nerd leg” for grimlock’s build a figure part lol
And people actually wanted strongarm weird considering not a lot of people like rid 2015 I'm mostly interested in seeing Shadow striker and Dreadwing instead
Alright lets take a shot everytime a new figure is released after this video
I am so happy to see that brawn looks like a proper upgrade from my old titans return figure. I feel like beachcomber is just meh. And doesn’t justify $40 Australian when I got the PotP one for maybe 10, and I love it.
I mean to be fair the TR figure was a Legends one. It'd be kind of sad if it wasn't an upgrade.
I actually like the look of the Rhinox. He should have shorter legs to make him look more squat as a character. I do hate the brown on him though and will try to repaint him.
The legs are already very short though?
5:01 Likes the Hotrod shoulders have striked once again this time on the Autobot leader who dosen't have these kinds of shoulders before
I’ve managed to find Cliffjumper and Brawn before Gamer Prime
Are you enjoying them?
@@PerspectiveEnd Cliffjumper is mid but Brawn is top tier
Why they made the reissues exclusives, I am in Poland, and wanted them
