He pulls off a damn good walk cycle. The walking tank mode moves great and reminds me of the tank robot animation in the first Robocop movie. Nice recoil.
What I really like Brawls tank mode is that it's actually a based on a Leopard 2A7, in G1 he actually transforms into a Leopard 1A3 without that weird tacked on Cannons on the engine compartment
ikr? i don't see why people complain about Brawl so much , i mean he is certainly one of the best brawl figures we've ever gotten , g1 brawl was like most g1 toys , energon Brawl mold was a mess ,movieverse brawl the leader is okay , doesn;t seem to poseable , and the deluxe is meh and FOC Brawl was 50% tank hanging on his back those peeps sure like to search for issues instead of actually enjoying the figure itself and the fact that it's a great representation of brawl (congrats on 5K btw =P )
your welcome :P , i am glad to see that there are people that actually see that a con can actually be overshadowed by the pros , to be completely honest , seeing soo many reviews of brawl , i didn't see one review in which showcased the amazing amount of poseability in the feet , i always thought he only has an ankle tilt , well now i know what figure to get for my birthday besides Onslaught :P
darn , it seems that brawl and vortex are nowhere to find in my country at the moment , what a shame, gonna have to wait for people to get bored of them so i can buy them 2nd handed :P
oh also , speaking of mods , do you have a certain technique to applying reprolabels? since a friend of mine told me that he will get me a set of reprolabels for my TR Chromedome(i actually had some dubbed headmasters episodes that i used to watch as a kid so i have great attachement to his character) and i don't want to accidentally mess them up :P
As far as I know there seemed to be a running change partway through production to tighten up the waist clip in, which is why nobody complained about it for UW bruticus cos takara used the tightened up version
Sorry, but i have to disagree with you on the fact that he is the best out of the deluxes.Honestly Rook, swindle/hound are the best maybe even Groove/afterburner. Brawl isn't great, he isn't bad; he is just OK or passable. Also yes the waist really hurts the figure IMO.
Thomas La Motta ehh, that's fair. tbh I've had way more fun with this guy (as evidenced by all the walking and fun little animations I made, I only really go the extra mile if I actually really enjoy the figure) than I have with pretty much all the other CW deluxes
I gotta admit You are the sole reason I’m trying to make stop motions And I just wanna know HOW! How do you get those stop motion parts so SMOOTH? It’s jaw dropping on how good your stop motions are But anyway I wish I was as eager on collecting transformers back when CW was the big buzz so I could get combiners without needing to fork out 600$ for a Superion with alpha bravo I HATE scalpers! TO THE PITS OF KAON THEY GO!
practice mainly haha, but it definitely helps to have at least onion skinning, but even better if you can cycle through frames if you can do so without moving your camera also act out your motion and pay attention to how your limbs move. helps a ton in working out the motion
The color is about the most off-putting thing for me on this one. I mean I do understand where the choice comes from, but at the same time I think it was ill conceived of Hasbro to go with a tone more connected to the TV incarnation than the original toy being as Takara would very likely fill that niche with their own release. Otherwise I always thought brawl was okay for what he does, even if he's not in a genre I care much for.
I completely agree with you. On my fig, I'm having an issue keeping the legs together. Constantly coming apart. That makes me sad. Cause I love this iteration of Brawl. Great review, as always sir!!!!
Dude, I'm an OG Starcraft player from back in the beginning of the 2000s. Woulda been sooner but had no idea it existed til I saqw the battle chest in a walmat. XD
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer I know but on my copy that joint loosened over time and when I coated it in a thin layer of clear nail polish it tightened back up. I just thought the paint had the same affect Nice vid m8
The Takara version is what I ReALLY like...Nice video. plus the perfect effect mods makes this set even SUPER. But I will agree over the Blastoff colors..geez, soo much orange.
theguyintheworks TH-cam edition it's actually something I forgot to go into further detail on. i love the forearms and elbows. a large number of people complain about the proportions are weird, but theyreally aren't whem you think about it. not from the top of the shoulders, but from the actual shoulder joint itself down to the elbow is the same distance as from the elbow to the hand. this also makes the end of the hand stop just below the crotch which is actually very proportionate to the humanoid figure (I took art class on how to draw people and getting thier proportions right = P)
One question, what do you use for the sounds of him walking? That robotic walking sound what is it and where do you get it? Alos where do you get all the other sound effects such as the tank sound?
Good looking M1 Abrams for sure! Kinda wish the turret rotated, but I guess we can't have everything right? I've always liked the tank Transformers figures. Great review as always. :)
Cayden Mcclurg always a fan of the good ol' captain, amd Samus, but I used to main Metaknight until I found out everyone hated him and some tournaments banned usage
I also really liked this figure, and while I admit it looks bad from the side, you're right about how you have to look for it. And as for articulation, can't you kinda use the hinge that people complain about as an ab crunch?
I was looking here cuz I’m eyeing cw bruticus and THIS WAS CONSIDERED BAD?!?!?! Those ankles are considered above even modern articulation! I feel like as a community we really should try to look at figures through other angles if such a notion was passed along like that at all.
most people looked at the anemic waist and wrote off the figure as a waste. but I totally agree, I don't get the hate. one of my favourites from the whole line
I for one like him despite that ab thing, but man having him in the color of crap (literally) was a step back, but for some unknown reason I like it. But hey to each their own.
well I thought I was having something wrong with my liokaiser brawl molds . Cant remember the names off the top of my head, however the flat waist peice always gave me issues until I realized that where it seems to stop , it actually pusshes in and clicks and becomes more stable for robot mode. Look at it real close. I made like an acordian then pushed it and once it seems like its pushed in just wiggle it and push more and it will become stable. I just wanted to tell you that while I had a problem before with the waist, I actually dont anymore once I saw it could connect better
I finally got my fire flight skydive wildrider and dragstrip... I payed twenty each to brandon from the chosen prime. Im so lucky and fortunate to have come across such a nice guy that has a good buisness. Didnt you say you were looking for something too? On his website it dosent really have the most accurate details for combiner wars. He has his phone number for people that want to order. Just thought you might could use the tip. I wanted to ask you your feelings on mp ultra magnus... Is he a lot more awesome than leaderclass? is he worth the one eighty?
Donovan Whedbee that's awesome! and I was looking for offroad but I got him = P as for MP Ultra Magnus. it was the one I kept over the leader, but honestly I found they were just as good as each other. so I guess I would say it depends on what you're focusing on. if you're still collecting deluxes and generations and what not (which as far as season 3 people they actually have a complete cast madr for) totally by all means do the leadrr class. if MP collecting is what you do, MP22 fits in way better (obviously)
Hey man, I really love your stuff, and wanted to ask a quick question: I have a project in a class, and I have to make a stop motion, what program to you use and do you have an tips for making them?
MichaelDigimon2 not particularly, strafe is a retarded arm, nosecone's drill is too tiny for my liking, scrounge and what's his face are filler, afterburner and light speed are ok and scatter shot's alt mode is just odd, but it's my favourite torso so points to that in combined robot mode I guess?
dude, you should have faceless joe in your videos again, I remember back when you reviewed uni-class-erations figures, he was in the majority of your videos.
Ah, you didn't show the one good use of the HFG in the entire series. Brawl himself is alright, but I think that the repaints do it better, namely Drillhorn and Killbison.
The Starcraft refunded brings back memories. There was a time that I think I dreamed in nothing but Starcraft battles. I've put Starcrack behind me now. I've been clean for about eight years now.
I thought I was the only one who didn't hate this guy lol. He sure has a few issues, no doubt, but they don't ruin him at all. Like you, my waist stays in place alright too. Too be fair, it rocks as Nose cone too and, dare I say, the waist stays together even better.
No, I never heard of one of the best selling Nintendo games this side of DUCK HUNT....Wait THAT'S what you're going for? Comparing the Combaticons with Smash Bros. games?!
Loved these reviews and how you also poked fun at the Smash community in them.
He even has an abcrunch. Proud that I got him last summer, even if I repainted mine into a screen-accurate RiD Armorhide. :P
no
Does this enrage you then?

i love these sweet and short reviews!
good job!
I think concise, to the point reviews are almost necessary when dealing with stop motion animation.
Cardboard Bots and that was originally the whole point of the channel = )

Thanks
Anyone ever turned this guy into G1 Bludgeon's inner robot?
The turret doesn’t even integrate into the transformation at all. I can’t fathom why a swivel couldn’t have been put at its base.
Glad I'm not the only who likes this figure.
5:48 SO FUNNYYY!!!!
Can you review the studio series constructicons once all are available
Half walking tank is awesome. Love how u stop motion it

Damn. I don't mind Combiner Wars Brawl's color, but he looks so much better with that paint job I think I have to paint mine now.
2 wiis.
Im fine with this
What kind of paint did you use? It looks great and I wanna customize mine too
I completely agree with you. On my fig, I'm having an issue keeping the legs together. Constantly coming apart. That makes me sad. Cause I love this iteration of Brawl. Great review, as always sir!!!!
James Castle coming apart how?
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer Side to side. Can't keep them clipped together. I need to use some floor polish and thicken up the tabs I guess.
James Castle i don't really have that issue, but I probably have paint to thank = P
I've kept mine original color, and added paint highlights. I'll send a pic in a sec

You must construct additional pylons space sloth.
Though for me, I need to spawn more overlords
Ravage finally! I've been waiting all day for someone to get it! = D
Dude, I'm an OG Starcraft player from back in the beginning of the 2000s. Woulda been sooner but had no idea it existed til I saqw the battle chest in a walmat. XD
With the g2 version it is very noticeable with the chest
Hmm. Mechwarrior Brawl!
The paint made the connection tighter
James Darley i won't deny that, but I also said it was pretty tight and sturdy to begin with
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer I know but on my copy that joint loosened over time and when I coated it in a thin layer of clear nail polish it tightened back up. I just thought the paint had the same affect
Nice vid m8
My figure must not be all that good because he's floppy on the abs, and I'm scared it's gonna just break there one day.
the original brown color for brawl is actually accurate to the cartoon
Glad you got a Brawl who's legs stay together, my copy has his legs coming apart from a breath of air
Marcus Rodriguez sounds like you need some paint or polish on that sucker
The Takara version is what I ReALLY like...Nice video. plus the perfect effect mods makes this set even SUPER.
But I will agree over the Blastoff colors..geez, soo much orange.
I agree with you 6 years late
@Prime-animations It's never too late, good sir.
@Prime-animations Plus, I like the way Hasbro improved on the Stunticons, so hopefully, we might get some updates on the Combaticons also?
@@MrDEMarq definitely!
The leg mode is a shin mode
the only thing I dislike of him is the short elbows. it makes him look like he has no lower arms and only hands. I think that is just me though.
theguyintheworks TH-cam edition it's actually something I forgot to go into further detail on. i love the forearms and elbows. a large number of people complain about the proportions are weird, but theyreally aren't whem you think about it.

The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer yeah that complaint is just me. also I can't draw people (realistically that is) so good for you :)
theguyintheworks TH-cam edition haha don't worry, I can't either. I failed the class, but took the scaling lesson to heart = P
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer hah :P
One question, what do you use for the sounds of him walking? That robotic walking sound what is it and where do you get it? Alos where do you get all the other sound effects such as the tank sound?
undefeated2012 look up G1 sound effects, i found them somewhere
If you fold the head back and the turret into its foot mode position you can actually get a good modern approximation of Go bots destroyer
he has an ab crunch
Wait till Autobot Ultimate comes out, it's got everything
trying to find someone to talk about the fact brawl looks like a centurion british tank.
Good looking M1 Abrams for sure! Kinda wish the turret rotated, but I guess we can't have everything right? I've always liked the tank Transformers figures. Great review as always. :)
xEagleOne Hahaha you and your tanks. should've consulted you when I wrote this = P
It is a shame, and it looks like it could, too. Just add a mushroom peg where the turret connects (or something like that), and you're good.
who is your favorite character in brawl?
Cayden Mcclurg always a fan of the good ol' captain, amd Samus, but I used to main Metaknight until I found out everyone hated him and some tournaments banned usage
Lel, brawl isnt viable in melee
I see what you did there...
I also really liked this figure, and while I admit it looks bad from the side, you're right about how you have to look for it. And as for articulation, can't you kinda use the hinge that people complain about as an ab crunch?
Guns'n Games 1226 you could, but I don't find rhere to be enough friction to he viable for animation
Does he come with a Wii U?
Serpentine haha

It’s looks like the original figure since it’s a simple green
bro that got me the WALKING TANK
yeah Vangelus does that sort of thing and toy collectors don't do that so such a thing is not an issue unless your weird

megatron13 might be a little hard, considering he dropped the name amd doesn't do much youtube stuff anymore = P
The Lazy Eyebrow Reviewer oh, ok, he was funny though. Just don't say Skywarp.
At least hasbro didn't remold the breakdown to give us a car tank thing,that would have been awful.
Sorry I meant the breakdown mold
Wolfrey Prime bleh, that'd have been awwwwful
Warpath looks like a halo tank
Actually the brown is more cartoon accurate
i love these smash bros jokes!
So, is the fact that he's named Brawl and some of the Combaticons on this set are reskins the reason you kept making Smash Bros references?
that's the whole joke yep
Ah, you didn't show the one good use of the HFG in the entire series.
Brawl himself is alright, but I think that the repaints do it better, namely Drillhorn and Killbison.

Sorry I didn't get him now when I saw him.
Heh Whiner Mc Whinerpants!
Nice review as always. Did I hear a voice that could pass for Soundwave?
Mark Mc Donnell maybe? idk. where?
