I hope that Hasbro doing Marvel Comics repaints of Grimlock and Shockwave means that Marvel Comics had paid the license to reprint all of the Marvel Comics Transformers comics.
Marvel doesn’t even have to do that. Hasbro owns every single comic produced for their properties. Each subsequent comic publisher inherits the right to reprint the work of the previous ones. (Don’t be surprised if skybound reprints marvel issues later down the line. They’ve already done it with idw in the upcoming McFarlane comic packs). (The same thing extends to toys based on comic designs. They can make comic based figures because hasbro owns those designs no matter which publisher made them. That’s why we get figures that use idw/marvel designs).
@@XPproductions365 this is not entirely correct. Because of the fact that the original Transformers Marvel series was set in the Marvel universe many of the early issues future Marvel characters such as spider-man. As such they have to negotiate the rights with marvel. Furthermore there are certain characters that Marvel owns that has one does not have such a circuit breaker, or intrical to the final arcs.
Here’s a fun idea: a retool slight retool of the legacy United sandstorm into a G1 style blackout from the live action movies. Cus his helicopter mode was also a Sikorsky helicopter like sandstorm. Maybe he can have a new hand and some slightly different details, in addition to of course a new color scheme. We already had a barricade from smokescreen, why not have a blackout from sandstorm? Just think this idea is neat, that’s all
2024 is off to a really promising start for Transformers. As someone who has Grimlock as my favourite Autobot and Shockwave as my favourite Decepticon, these two are looking amazing and I will definitely keep an eye out for them.
Had no intention of getting Sandstorm, just uninterested but seeing the figure might have changed my mind lol, really like the head and Helicopter mode. Marvel Comic figures are a nice surprise hope we get more random stuff this year.
Love the idea of the comic book figures hope this means we'll see some Comic characters that are obscure and I'm glad to finally see a new sandstorm really good segments like always Proto.👏💯🔥
G1 Sandstorn's vehicle modes were just as good, with the only things that really gave them away being rear wheels peeking out on the bottom of the heli as here, and the buggy only having half a spoiler at the back with the tail rotor on the other side. The improvements to bring robot mode up to modern posability standards is what makes him a must-get.
This is a MUST for the collection. I’m more aligned with toy accuracy anyway. I really do appreciate the research and the visuals for this video. I clearly understand the little differences that are shown. Thank you.
I wonder if they'll do a alternate sandstorm with the cartoon accurate head. I want to get him, but honestly would hold off if they do an alt head version.
as a fan of the Marvel comics seeing this new sub-line makes me feel very happy, looking forward to Grimlock. Sandstorm looks amazing, all the modes look amazing and they don't look like they sacrifices anything for the others, I'm impressed with how good it looks
Sandstorm looks amazing. i prefer this head more than the other heads, and while his buggy mode seems to be his weakest, its far from bad. plus, he has an interesting backstory in G1 and a cool characterisation in IDW. if he appears in the future, i want him to be an Autobot who's been hurt by the Autobots before, and isn't afraid to betray them. edit: also is that a backwards butterfly joint?? hell yeah
Love the Comic Figures, hope they make more, but not another subline until we finish one. A SS Sandstorm is hard to justify since he never was in a movie. But a retool/refeco as a G1 Blackout is a neat idea fans have thrown around.
Also finally triple changer. Hope we get more in the future. Could totally do the Rescue bot Academy characters in the future. All the recruits are triple changers.
Man I was all excited for that sandstorm when I first saw it on TFW then I looked down in the comments section and holy cow I haven't seen that many negative comments and most weren't even about the figure
A NEW SANDATORM?! HECK YES!!!! It's been waaaaay to long since we got a true Sand Storm that wasn't just using the G1 character's name. I'm super stoked for this figure. I love the King Grimlock figure, but as someone that already owns the original ss86 Grimlock it's a bit fustraiting to see a version that comes with more. And not just more, but also the weapons that it and the other 2 dinobots should have come with already. So if I wanted Slug and Sludge to get their swords I have to get this. And it still leaves my old Grimlock swordless. If swoop does comes withe the other's swords/missing accessories. Then does this mean if we get comic accurate dinobots that Slug & Sludge can only get their swords if you get this first? I hate it when they do this.
Can anyone recall how many comic characters they said they are doing in this line I could swear during a stream they showed a couple block boxes in reference to how many there was gonna be, just trying to figure out if the next one will be the last if there will be more, hoping for scrounge
When they announced the Comic Edition Grimlock & Shockwave, I was expecting they will be including the comic books based on the designs. But no… and honestly understandable why they couldn’t do it. 😕
They were both Sikorsky Helicopters. Blackout being a Pave Low and Sandstorm a Sea Stallion. Could definitely see some customs of sandstorm into Blackout
I seem to be in the minority and actually love the way they designed sandstorm. I haven’t seen much of G1, so definitely never got to seeing Sandstorm in the show, so I don’t care if he’s animation accurate.
One sword on grip hand by Grimlock is the Grimlock sword and two sword on grip hand by Grimlock too is a Slag and Sludge swords, it is because grip detail and molding on up sword looks similar with Slug/Slag swords and one sword on grip hands by Grimlock is the mold and detail on grip sword it's look similar with Grimlock swords 🦖
Oh.....I'm so disappointed in that Sandstorm. I HAVE to pass on that. I hope your right, and they release an anime accurate one later on! What a bummer.

I love when a figure blends original toy and animation model together. It's always a nice nod to the complete history of that character.
BROOOO!!!! LOOOK AT THAT PRIME HEADSCULPT!!!!!! 86 COMMANDER PRIME IS COMING EVERYONE!!!!
That Grimlock and Shockwave are a must get!
I'm just now realizing how much that Sandstorm buggy mode looks like the Dreadnoks Thundermachine
Thank god it's mass retail, these are must-haves!
Hope that Sandstorm showing up is a sign of Octane rolling in to complete the duo.

@@XPproductions365 It would be amazing if Marvel and Hasbro released the comics on the Epic Collection format.
Hasbro's licensees have done that a couple of times, I have an IDW reprint of issue 1. I also got a couple OGs from my comic store's backlog.

That said they have announced that there will be a new graphic novel series collecting the original Marvel Transformers series coming out in 2024

Son of a b**h I'm in 😅. Would be really cool if they did that.
That Grimlock looks pretty sick.

These comic variants validate that comic colored Soundwave rumor that was going around.

obscure comic characters like Nautica... right...?
p-please...? hasbro? don't give us Blurrple. give us Nautica
A legit Rack'n'Ruin for me please?!

Marvel Comics subline has so many possibilities, from comic colors soundwave and Megatron, to potentially Straxus. I’ll be keeping my eye on this
not crazy about sandstorm having the toy style face but he looks great otherwise
I’m willing to bet that DNA will get on that. As for me, I honestly kinda vibe with it.
Kind of curious if they'll do the comic variant treatment with other lines. They've done it with a bunch of Star Wars Black Series figures so far
They ain't got no windows tho! I can't display it mint!
Wow. A Shockwave I actually want. Sandstorm is a definite purchase. Lets hope we get the remaining Triple Changers.
Love the Comic Figures, hope they make more, but not another subline until we finish one.
A SS Sandstorm is hard to justify since he never was in a movie. But a retool/refeco as a G1 Blackout is a neat idea fans have thrown around.
Are they having issues with the swoop figure. We know it’s coming, but there’s been no shots at all 😢
I wasn't going to buy these comic book versions but I feel like your video convinced Me to buy them now.
They didn't put it behind plastic. The swords are going to disappear instantly, never mind the whole figure it's asking to be stolen.
I will definitely be picking up at least one shockwave.
Good! I need a Shockwave! These look great.
Also finally triple changer. Hope we get more in the future. Could totally do the Rescue bot Academy characters in the future. All the recruits are triple changers.
Where do we order the comic book repaints?
Man I was all excited for that sandstorm when I first saw it on TFW then I looked down in the comments section and holy cow I haven't seen that many negative comments and most weren't even about the figure
I am all in on this transformers thanks for the great news
This is going to be a crossover with GI Joe
A NEW SANDATORM?! HECK YES!!!! It's been waaaaay to long since we got a true Sand Storm that wasn't just using the G1 character's name. I'm super stoked for this figure.

Wreckers Wreckers Wreckers
Hopefully the prime head is a hint at the studio series prime we’re getting later this year
Can anyone recall how many comic characters they said they are doing in this line I could swear during a stream they showed a couple block boxes in reference to how many there was gonna be, just trying to figure out if the next one will be the last if there will be more, hoping for scrounge
Im definitely buying these !
Sandstorm with a battle mask
When they announced the Comic Edition Grimlock & Shockwave, I was expecting they will be including the comic books based on the designs. But no… and honestly understandable why they couldn’t do it. 😕
Finally my chance to get Grimlock.
They're killing me with the dinobots 😂
I feel like hasbro is just bullying my wallet
I doubt we'll get an animation version of sandstorm we'll probably get a repaint as a new character
Still no updated Sixshot😢.
Sand storm had a face. Not ok doing a mask.
I don't think SandStorm was on the 86 movie would that prevent them from making a studio series 86 version?
Probably, but there are other ways a repaint could happen. Selects has been very quiet lately, for instance.
@@Warppig I will keep my fingers crossed ,
I hope studio 86 will give us more G1 classics spanning beyond the movie as well
Sandstorms heli mode looks like black out
They were both Sikorsky Helicopters. Blackout being a Pave Low and Sandstorm a Sea Stallion. Could definitely see some customs of sandstorm into Blackout
I seem to be in the minority and actually love the way they designed sandstorm. I haven’t seen much of G1, so definitely never got to seeing Sandstorm in the show, so I don’t care if he’s animation accurate.
It might just be me...but I'm seeing Vortex in this Sandstorm's helicopter mode.
Sandstorm Doesn't have g1 cartoon Head Sigh. Such a Blasphemous thing, Why hasbro Why
One sword on grip hand by Grimlock is the Grimlock sword and two sword on grip hand by Grimlock too is a Slag and Sludge swords, it is because grip detail and molding on up sword looks similar with Slug/Slag swords and one sword on grip hands by Grimlock is the mold and detail on grip sword it's look similar with Grimlock swords 🦖
Someone buy me.
Oh.....I'm so disappointed in that Sandstorm. I HAVE to pass on that. I hope your right, and they release an anime accurate one later on! What a bummer.
I was the same. It really looks great as far as the original toy, but gutted he doesn't look animation accurate. Disappointed but it's still cool.
transformers deserves better.
