One Of The Coolest Toys….That Still Needs An Update | #transformers The Last Knight Nitro Zeus
Who remembers when he said "Unfortunate! 'Cause I was lookin' to knock some heads!"
That's cut dialogue from the dvd release
@@novustalks7525 In the theatrical release, Nitro Zeus said, "I kicked more ass in prison!"
@@ZachDy-xg9it is it just me or somtimes he sounds like g1 ironhide?
I have the KSI Boss mold, and it's such a fun figure to mess around with. Especially if you have headmasters to switch around their heads with.
The KSI Boss one is really fun and still holds up even in the heat of the Philippines 😂
That’s such a good looking figure but so expensive to get i think it was in the middle of 2020-21 when stock was super wonky and we couldn’t in person shop. Heck if they reissue ksi or repaint the 09 Thundercracker to skywarp that’d be cool
is the KSi Boss figure a retool or just a repaint of the original Nitro Zeus figure?
@@yghostest Repaint and fix some issues I think
I have the thindercraker version
It's so weird, I never hear all that much talk about Nitro Zeus but it feels like everyone unanimously agrees he's cool even though he had like 50 seconds a screen time.
Great toy and it was nice seeing Decepticons with personalities in the Bayverse
Being a Bayverse Decepticon with some actual personality and surviving most of the movie without being killed off within 10 minutes of their introduction will do that.
it's in the name
I wish he could be revived(?) like Barricade & actually show up in some more media in a more G1-inspired design. I've seen some cool G1-style Nitro designs; theres one I'd consider the best. I think his name is Quillobyte, he made a super cool & amazing G1-style reimagining of Nitro. Theres also a G1-style Barricade digibash using the Legacy Chase mold I found on Reddit that looks sick! If it'd were to be released officially I WILL get it! I love the fact that me & quite a bit of other ppl all had the same idea (Barry using Chase mold), without any of us even knowing each other at all.
(YT, stop! Let me comment! I'm not doing anything!)
He had quite a bit of screentime
"I know where you live henrique. Say hello to your wife for me" Nitro Zeus -2017
*Enrique
Why is that kinda wholesome?
Enrique *
@@DJS706i think he was implying something else cuz of the response
I still remember when i watched the original in which nitro zeus said
"By the way Enrique, Teds sleeping with your wife"
I feel ya on the "younger me doing bad customs"
I'll never forgive me for fucking up t30 springer
Did that to my WFC Siege Optimus, while chroming him up.
Try a sharpie to TLK Deluxe Bumblebee; I tried to replicate all the different black bits on the real car...😅. Speaking of, the toy isn't bad; hes pretty good for what he is, but it was super dumb to use the mold for SS BBM VW Beetle Bee.
I sharpied my studio series bayverse starscream, I regret it so badly 😭
@@bigcooltony437 Oof
@@bigcooltony437how'd that turn out?
Nitro Zeus sounds like a name that would've been made in one of the old japanese produced g1 series
Nitro Zeus summarizes TLK pretty well. He was the best thing about TLK, was barely in it, was awesome whenever he would show up, but right at the end, right as the movie was about to end, he was killed by the yellow one. It’s almost like they had Bumblebee kill the last good thing left about TLK just to finish the entire franchise off.
He got killed so unceremoniously as well, did the fella dirty.
He became my ThunderWing with the thundercracker repaint + his titan return head + a little metallic green paint on the chest
Lucky to have bought him before he was sold out in work a few years ago. All he needs is ankle tilts and he's perfect!
8:07 YOUR TELLING ME THAT THE HEAD PEICE IS ABLE TO MOVE UP!!! I know the turret part moves, but where the neck is that amazes me. When I transformed my KSI Boss, I took the head off and had nowhere to set it, but beside it. I had my KSI Boss for around 3 years, and I honestly didn't know that😂
Thanks for reviewing concept series Nitro Zeus
Ah, I got a wave of nostalgia from watching this.
I remember watching your review of this YEARS ago, it was one of the very first reviews I watched of you and this brought back memories, you’ve come so far man, keep it up!
the trick to panel lining is: generally there are three colors of panel liner: brown, black and gray, your first priority is if the color has anything to do with yellow or red (orange, pink, green, etc) you panel line in brown, if it is black or blue or purple or too dark in general for any other color to be visible, you panel line with black, if it is white or (light)gray you panel line in gray, the idea is to highlight the details just a bit to bring them up WITHOUT TURNING THEM INTO AN EYE SORE, I made the same mistake you did and went ham on a white gundam with the black panel liner and it ended up looking cheap bad lol
He is a really good toy, I gave Thundercracker the Titan Master of Overkill and made him an Original character called Dreadnaught
If thats the blue head white face I did the same but kept the TC name
@@tec5x5
Yes, it's the one that came with the White Dino
1:58 Well, this toy is actually based on the KSI Boss from AOE.
2:17 yup I rember nitro lookin like that in the movie 😂
They owe us a new one YESTERDAY. Love this thing!!
2:57 I don’t like how that titan master is stearing at me😂😂
I absolutely love this guy, I had him paired with TLK Megatron and Barricade for a while before Barricade’s arm broke. 😢
its ok
Cool pairing! Thats sick! Shame that Barry's arm broke, tho.. How did it break exactly? Is it irreparable?
@@FennekinTF The little peg/pin (I don’t remember which one) broke on the swivel point, and the peg hole cracked.
@@dragmire86 Ooof! Pain
@@FennekinTF sort of i you have a glue and some plastic stuff and materials and and some clay to put it in place or ask a 3d printer to print a arm with the part for refrence
Sticking the TR Voyager Optimus head on him turns him into a Cybertron-mode Primal instantly.
It's wild. He even has a bit of Beast-era engineering tropes to go with it (pull out guns, the "head" of the alt mode becoming one arm). Hell, for whatever reason, he has gorilla toes on the back of his existing feet.
Panel lining isn’t too bad actually imo. Looks like it’s a bit weathered
I remember seeing one for sale at my local toy store, but I didn't have my wallet with me, so I decided to come back two days later, and it was gone, replaced with Bumblebee movie stuff. I was so mad! Fortunately, my mom found me one for Christmas.
I think the most interesting thing about the head, disregarding the partially discarded headmaster gimmick, is that he has five eyes, but the other four are so tiny that the intended light piping got gummed by the paint of the face
The customizing/weathering/panel lining really doesn’t look bad. If that is a genuine first attempt, then bravo. You shouldn’t feel ashamed for them
Best chance to get this guy now is an oversized ko.
Better paintjob and accurate head too.
Got mine for a little under leader class.
Paired him with mohawk for some jak and daxter action.
When we get another one o really hope we get the alt mode being a SAAB JAS-39 gripen instead of some default looking jet
Thundercracker looks PERFECT in this mold. It should be his future design
For a "younger me" custom Nitro Zeus, it's definitely better than some of the other ones I've seen online, so don't feel bad about it
I hope we get onslaught before we get an update of this, or barricade
One of the best Voyagers from that movie. Still have it to this day as well as wll the TF from the first 2007 movie
i have prime and the wave 3 bumblebee
I've never seen the film, but the Thundercracker toy based on this is one of my favorite designs of all time. I just want a new, improved version with more poseability!
I feel like unique toys is gonna end up being the chosen one that will give us a new nitro
Ive been thinking I need to get one for myself every time I see him online. The cockpit not becoming a part of the chest or a poorly hidden backpack peaked my interest back in Thew's video
That's how you know you're mother REALLY loves you, when she recognizes Transformers that you're missing in a collection. 😂
Trust me, my mom to this day, remembers at least 250 Pokemon. LOL
Baby free at last. Thanks Megatron, I'm free at last. Thank you, I'm gonna miss you, tim. Thank you for your hospitality, brad. I know where you live enrique, say hello to your wife for me.
the ss 43 version of this mold is pretty awesome looking
Guys I have a story for y’all…
I watched “Transformers the Basics: Shockwave” by @Chris Mcfeely when I read the comments and someone said something about Nitro Zeus’ tattoos, so I went to watch the many clips on this guy, and I thought: “oh, I forgot how cool this guy is!” So I went to watch some reviews on his original toy, and I stumbled on *YOUR ORIGINAL REVIEW.* And then the next day…..THIS.
Funny
We went back to the good old "Kibble Fix" era of ThatToyGuy, huh??? 😂🤣
I've got the oversized, gray coloured Nitro Zeus with some Cybertronian letters on it that I bought in FB. Couldn't change the head, though.
god I really want them to re-release this guy, his figure looks so damn good, and that alt mode? clean
i liked the pane line job it makes it pop and show some deepth to it. , you need to hit it with clear coat to keep it from rubbing off.
I bought this guy purely as a second body for Cogman. He can even hold the sword in his left hand and use the jet-nose right arm as a shield.
I've got a fondness for this mold. I still need the KSI boss version, but my original Nitro has been stickered up and paired with the die-cast TR Thunderwing head, and SS Thundercracker is on display as well. With Nitro's head.
You know. Seeing this figure from a different perspective, I think I like a more interesting transformation then having more articulation. Have both at the same time though is of course the best.
If they do make a SS figure of it, I hope they include the gold necklace like in the film.
“Such a unique asymmetrical transformation”
A lot of beast wars characters: “am I a joke to you?”
Unique in the sense that its not done often, not done at all. Besides, Nitro's transformation is pretty unique for a jetformer.
In my opinion megatron and nitro zeus carried this movie, he should have gotten the chance to kill or badly damage someone like bee or prime
Me when people diss this toy: “Oh I feel a fight coming!”
0:27 VIRGINIA MENTION YEAAAAA!!!!
Ahem. He’s a fun figure.
I really hope Nitro Zeus gets integrated into the greater Transformers lexicon. I'm interested to what he'd look like in a new show
So that's where them missiles come from. When I purchased a DOTM Megatron off Thew he chucked in a Starscream figure someone had sent him and done a little custom job on and it had them missiles, also painted white.
had this when i was younger,Loved it
I really like the black wash! Sooner or later you will get used to it and it will seem very cool
Wow love that engineering looks very satisfying
4:56 You don't actually have to cut the piece to get the 90° bend, you just have push through it. I've done this with my copy of Nitro Zeus many times and it shows zero signs of stress or breakage so don't be too afraid of it snapping as I've had mine since 2017 and it still intact
"Like you wouldn't expect this to transform the way it does because the jet doesn't have A cockpit on its arm."
Hate to remind you, but remember Hunt For The Decepticons Jetblade?
RoTF Dirge/Jetblade had the fuselage turn into their right arm. I only ever saw parts of Jetblade in person.
Bro what are you talking about? That customizing is awesome! Definitely improves the figure.
The 3rd party KO is even better. Metal skeleton, nice metallic paints, better plastic, twice the size. Only downside are the wing joints - not quiiiiiite sturdy enough to bear the load so the jet has droopy wing syndrome but I keep mine in bot mode anyway :)
I was so confused when the Saab car was put on screen until I remember they are an aerospace company first and foremost, like Rolls Royce.
you are my favorite transformers youtuber!
I used some Reprolabels and the Titans Return Thunderwing head to upgrade mine. He's awesome.
This guy really dose need a update and a studio series figure someday id by him he looks sick tho
I'll be real with you
Making him screen accurate would just make him White Shockwave
I do love this design way more and unique
you might need to get the oversized KO (LS01) if you love him so much, that toy is glorious with the additional paint and head
Younger me wishes he hadn't tried to custom paint all the grey bits on 2007 Voyager Prime silver with a brush. At least I learned enough then to leave future movie release alone. Never got the Nitro Zeus mode, but this would be an absolute banger as a Leader class in SS. This TLK Megatron, and Bulkhead definitely need updates at some point.
I’m so glad that they released a DOTM thundercracker with this mold in the SS line… it’s AMAZING.
That's probably one of the best alt modes ever, that SS Thundercracker is pretty badass & definitely needs a SS Bayverse skywarp to compliment it
Sad i got rid of mine (also horribly customized via gold/silver marker..) all i have of it now is a missle pack, who i gave to my ss blitzwing
That transformation is really unique an kool. Kinda want it.
Using a freaking nail kit I scraped off the numbers and the little greeble above the right elbow, so it'd look less ugly and the elbow actually works. I almost forgot I made those modifications until I saw this video.
And another thing, I ditched the missiles and gave them to DotM Skyhammer, cuz incidentally they look really good on him in helicopter mode, and even more impressive, if you move them in a peg on the wings and point them outwards you can do the entire transformation and they end up fitting very neatly inside the backpack in robot mode, and they don't clash at all color-wise like they do on Nitro Zeus, because Skyhammer actually has white as part of his color scheme
while it would be great for them to design a new mold, i would also take a Studio Series repaint of this toy that has a more screen accurate head but is still compatible with Titan Masters
I really like this jetformer. I got all three versions of the mold, all incomplete; but by mixing them, I made a custom Thunderwing. And since TR gave us a Thunderwing headmaster; it's a match made in heaven (except the shades of white)
I love this mold so much. I have all 3 of them. KSI, Thundercracker and Nitro. all 3 are on a special shelf above my desk. I shift everything around all of the time and those 3 never move. The head come4s off Nitro easier than I would like though.
I got a lot of TLK line at clearance and really enjoyed it, but Nitro Zeus is a fantastic toy that doesn't really get the attention it should, likely thanks to the phenomenal Megatron. I have the Thundercracker too, but I think Nitro Zeus is more visually interesting.
I have the KSI boss version of this and have maybe managed to transform it once. I love that right arm mod, 100% going to try it
You will love the KSI Boss SS 43, same mold in grey...
I have a couple versions of this mode & really enjoy it.
As for Thundercracker, I won't open it.
I know it's shown up alot & even had a reissue or two.
Mine has the gold TRU exclusive sticker, which in the US makes it the very last Toys R US Transformer exclusive.
I know that won't matter down in history or value, but for me it does
If you have the thunderwing head from the titans return siege on Cybertron set it works really well on this figure and reprolabels has a thunderwing conversion sticker sheet for this fig as well that all together looks awesome as a pseudo legacy thunderwing
Need him in a new series idc if he doesn’t fit at all out him in every new show or game ever
3:36 ha i did that by accident once 😂
I never got the chance to pick this guy or any of the remolds he got!
You gotta buy Ares Nitrogen, that's the best version of this mold
They really don’t make unique transformations like this anymore. Feel like a lot of new figures play it safe.
would be cool if he actually turned into a jas39 gripen like in the movie
Hey, I liked Cogman the insane headmaster.
:the most intense piano playing you've ever seen:
"What are you doing? Stop it!"
"I was making the moment more ✨EPIC✨!"
"I prefer the word 'Sociopath'"
I had that dude but someone pilfered my storage unit and I lost several things Im still trying to find.
Yej, I’m not the only one that like Nitro Zeus!
Nitro Zeus my beloved
It awesome the ksi Boss is a nice repaint
Studio series Nitro Zeus when? The Thundercracker version is awesome too love bug eyed head, he was also the last toy r us exclusive TF
I’m pretty sure Thundercracker is a comic book-exclusive character? Speaking of which, did they ever make a Studio Series Skywarp?
While Thundercracker was in the Bayverse comics, he had a differing design. The Studio Series figure is its own thing.
I have the ss thundercracker version of this mould and it’s great
4:50
This confuses me so much…
My Zeus’ right arm bends 90 and i don’t remember modding him, or see any evidence of such
I'm unreasonably bothered but the way the jet nose slopes up instead of down. He looks like a boat from any angle that shows the side of the jet. I'm considering trying to mod mine to gave the jet nose angled down a bit in alt mode, so the top is sloped and the bottom is flat
There's a very good 3rd party figure of this guy
If you have a transformer, the last knight Cagman, you can take Nitro zues head off because it has a titans masters, port and that is why it was so wiggly.
When it comes to Jet formers I really only buy Macross nowadays because they have zero kibble in both modes
I got this figure in a 500$ lot I got last weekend with this figure included!
I have the KSI colored one, but not the one you have, The Thundercracker ver, or The Original
The only decepticon i liked on that awfuel movie
