I remember seeing someone on twitter saying something like "the 86 bee is so bad that it helps justify my argument that partsforming is valid"
I took psychic damage reading that the first time
86 Bee is far from bad. It’s toon accurate, and reading that you read that gave me inconceivable pain
That guy conveniently ignoring all the good Bumblebees out there that don't partsform.
@@DiggitySliceTitans Return Bumblebee has a horrendous transformation and door forearms yet I still think it's far better than Earthrise Bumblebee.
As a Bumblebee maniac, I’m definitely interested in 86 Bumblebee. A version of Siege Bumblebee that doesn’t have parts-forming, SIGN ME THE FUCK UP.
Hell yeah! I’m with you
ikr, been waiting for a pocket sized, decent posing bee and last night stream got me happy
Finally someone who liked the 86 bumblebee… I’m honestly low key digging it!
@@the9der352 honestly i kinda dont get why the hate, maybe cus its not 1 to 1 to cartoon which i kinda get it, its SS after all
maybe if many people into full accuracy only the WFC is left from the chug, but its the beauty of TF collecting anyway, everyone can choose which one their favorite is
As a fellow Bee collector I am so hyped lol
5 “new” leader classes and one is a repaint while 3 are voyagers with new accessories…. My disappointment is… indescribable. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna cry in my bed now.
The gamer edition army builders are about to buy themselves a cybertronian version of the terracotta army
"Oh we're giving Springer a hammer? Why not a 1986 style plug figure of Charlie Watson to go with 86 Bumblebee?"
Unironically I do think this is a awesome idea.
This guy has valid opinions idk why people cant see that
It's just that he tends to be REEEEALLY negative sometimes. I do think he overdoes it sometimes but hey, it's his own opinion. Plus, whenever he really likes a figure it just makes it stand out more.
People just habe this weird need to have everything be positive and if you're not positive about the thing they like then you might as well not when be a fan of it to them. I dunno why that is but it's like that in a looot of fandoms
@@grrrr255 He's in character, though his real opinions are filtered through it. I don't know how people can't pick that up.
@@Beyblader_12 factual
If by valid you mean he shits his pants when a figure has slightly off proportions
The Legacy: United Optimus Prime that’s based on his G1 Toy is a figure I’m really looking forward to, I can’t wait to see how he turns out!!!!
Almost certainly won't come with a trailer, though. Hopefully it'll be compatible with some of the trailers that are already released. I'd love to use the one from my DotM Deluxe Prime with it (I bought that figure pretty much entirely because of the trailer but haven't been able to find another Prime that it properly fit since then) but that would mean that they'd have to break toy-accuracy and put a hole in the legs instead of a peg.
@@mightyrobot42Maybe they can rerelease it with a trailer as a voyager
Hasbro's weird distribution has made me twice as excited as I normally would be for like half of these. Australia just kinda- skipped Thundertron, and the Siege Springer is just unattainable on the aftermarket now. Bumblebee and Soundwave speak for themselves because "Ah yes, Soundwave and Bumblebee, they should be exclusives, they wouldn't sell on their own"
9:20 and they used the Kingdom Core Class Soundwave artwork because they KNEW that that figure is better
I showed my friend who loves Straxus the figure, and he started freaking out about it... He wasn't mad, he just thought it looked so good he couldn't contain his excitement.
Also I love to just put the word "Ferocious" Infront of any image of the SS 86 Steeljaw, because funny.
im very disappointed with 86 springer is the siege version good yes but why is it a leader with too many accessories to make it a leader
It's not even that many accessories, it's just like 2 or three extra
I find your rant interesting
@@CrimsonAzure-fh6yb they pulled a hot rod with less accessories
i find your rant interesting
Man, I missed old leader class like Prime War Trilogy
I wholeheartedly agree that they are going to do Soundwave so dirty.
It's sad to see one of the Best Bois in the Franchise, get done so raw.
@@PerspectiveEndI now regret not buying the legacy siege repack in the hopes this would be a new mould 😭
@@PerspectiveEndunfortunately it is a shitty reissue of ER Soundwave with Laserbeak (maybe repainted into Buzzsaw), Ravage (Whoever the hell they’d make Ravage into) and a third cassette. Probably rumble.
1:59 He still has his foot accessory if you see the back of the box
I'd be shocked if he didn't since it's integral to the alt mode.
I do want that Bingotoys Grimlock, looks so neat
But to other reveals, this is the main reason why I made a post that I'll stop collecting Hasbro stuff until I get those I want, 'cause geez I'm quite disappointing for most of their stuff.
And maybe the reason why Kapow toys want us to boycott them, it won't sell well.
I love how 86 Springer comes with that one missile that he loaded into that one artillery cannon in that one scene...truly Springer would be incomplete without....I'm kind of surprised they didn't just put the whole artillery cannon in there too! Make it a Commander why don't ya!?
Don't worry in 5 years he's going to get retooled again, this time he will have different shins and come with the artillery cannon
A wholly toy accurate mold in Generations was not something I expected. And I want it. Ngl, I’ve always preferred toy stylings to toon stylings. I like the details that come from the vehicle and the confidence in the fact that they turn into vehicles, and not having to hide away vehicle parts like on the toon designs. Also, shiny thing good.
8:42 Essentially you're the Dr House of the Transformers community
AutismEnd ?!?!?!
... HOLY SHIT YOUR RIGHT
The main thing with the Thundertron set is that the two new guys apparently can become a pirate mast for Tidal Wave with the accessories.
But WOW I hate this current wave overall. Straxus is dope and I wish I could get the ice car by itself.
Also am I the only one who likes Earthrise Soundwave NOT because it's G1 accurate but because I like it?
Also I agree completely on the point about Hasbro's cheaping out. Soundwave, Steeljaw, Springer, and Bumblebee are absolutely Hasbro pushing their boundaries on what we're willing to buy. And Because those are all G1 they WILL win this time. This is why I usually try to get figures secondhand, especially ones people are ditching because a cleaner/better deco just dropped.
It was such a bitter sweet reveal stream. On one hand there is basically nothing there I'm excited for - on the other hand I don't need another mortgage
I almost wish I was you ngl (they are just putting out way too much)
I love how Straxus looks and I didn't see people complaining about it. Frankly I barely remembered the rumors about it being a Galvatron repaint/retool so it was a nice suprise seeing it on the stream.
Maybe it's not a widespread thing, but people have come to me angry about it, so I just assumed that's what was happening.
I am personally hyped for the Leader Thundertron pack. Magneous combines very well with Thundertron's regular release and when I saw the RatBat pack in my mind was blown as it finally made the random slots on the figures right shoulder make sense, it's to have it perch on thundertron.
The reveal of those slots being for a bat tape to perch on him is immensely disappointing to me
As someone who missed out on the entire War for Cybertron trilogy toyline, I'm okay with Springer and Soundwave.
And I don't have Animated Prime because I collect pretty much exclusively Decepticons, so the Motormaster retool is very appealing to me.
Springer had a LOT of QC issues, and just in general was kind of clunky.
The Soundwave is just lifeless though.
So I can see them fixing Springer, but not Soundwave.
Are you going to get Springer then?
@@PerspectiveEndMost definitely
The transformers fandom consists of three main groups, always angry, always happy, and always woke. All three are always insufferable.
the consoomers.
those who read the comics.
the 50 yo dad.
those are the 3 main "voices" in the fandom. all 3 are to eitheir be made fun off or at the very least not to be listened to.
4:57 Not gonna lie. I'm hoping Ravage gets his tail like Steeljaw did.
5:21 To be honest. The mold looks cool. In terms of design however, Titans Return Bee takes the win their. But then I had an idea. SS86 Bee mold, plus Titans Return Bee design, would make Hasbro a gold mine. I'd get it :)
8:05 Slipstream! Yes please!
9:19 Heck! Yes! Please! Worth the buy! I hope the 3rd one is Buzzsaw! :D
The hype is real.
I'm mostly disappointed that the Star Raider Thundertron with the Armorizer and Ratbat repaint as RID2015 Nightstrike wasn't revealed alongside the rest of the Star Raiders collection in the last Hasbro Pulse fanstream. And from what the rumored listing for this collection states, there's a Roadpig from the Junkion Crashbar that's yet to be revealed.
-SS86 Steeljaw looks neato. Like the yellow speaker he comes with from the G1 episode where he had a sound volume fight with Soundwave. Looks like Hasbro might repack the yellow speaker in another Blaster cassette.
-SS86 Bumblebee looks like a chibi version of the Netflix Bumblebee, and I like it.
-Gamer Edition Decepticon Soldier. Knew that it was going to be a Barricade retool, and I'm fine with it. I'm army building this guy for from Cybertron game collection.
-SS86 Springer looks almost the same as the Siege version. I honestly was expecting him to look more different and taller, but I like how he looks here. His helicopter rotor blades becomes a sword, he was the missile from his "I got better things to do than die" scene, and inside his right arm has the mini blaster he used to shoot down Starscream.
-BB movie Skywarp, wish he has the G1 black colors with his purple, but he looks cool. Took Hasbro forever, but finally the original seeker trio will be united.
-Comic book Straxus looks cool. Like how Hasbro used the Galvatron mold to make him. Especially since both Straxus's alt mode looks like Galvatron's cannon mode.
Pipeline Spacebridge sneak peek:
-A Bouldercrash repaint is on the way.
-Returning from Titans Return, Quake is coming back in a more G1 design(from the Skullgrin mold) and has his two targetmasters.
-Slipstream being a reuse of the Cyberverse Windblade mold, not surprising. Like in the Takaratomy legends comics, it looks like she used her interdimensional gyro-rotors in her jetwings to travel from that multiverse to this one.
-The OG G1 Optimus Prime will be coming through the Legacy multiversal portal. That sounds awesome.
-Metalhawk is soaring back to toy shelves, in a more toy colored paint scheme.
-Animated Universe, The Motor Master, will be entering the ring of fighters in Legacy United.
-I theorized that the leader class Soundwave would be the Netflix mold. But in G1 toy colors and to come with a bunch of his cassettes like in that G1 toy reissue in 2008. But the speculation around the Transformers fan community thought that it would be in his Marvel comics colors. Which I also hope for. But looks like it's not. He's just the Netflix Soundwave with three cassettes. My hope is that these cassettes are new characters like Enemy, Howlback, and Buzzsaw.
-And like the core class Energon Megatron to Galvatron, Armada Universe Megatron will be his powerlinex repaint as Galvatron.
Soundwave should have 20 cassettes to justify leader from my POV
And retooled arms without useless junk, and no faux buttflap, and better articulation.
You know what? Just make a new figure. I’m genuinely mad at hasbro for doing this. They can suck it. Hopefully 3rd party can make a decent voyager sized soundwave
I'm going to have some faith that Hasbro realizes that GE Barricade is hot garbage and that they fixed the problems and made a really good figure of the Deception Trooper because I really want it.
I envy your optimism, but not what your fate is likely to be because of it.
@@PerspectiveEnd yup, I'm fully prepared to be disappointed. The sliver of hope is very small but still there.
I accidentaly gaslighted myself into really wanting the decepticon soldier, by convincing myself that he is just one of the clones that megatron made in the one episode where the decepticons play gta (to clarify, im refering to the one where tracks meets roul.) Also the decepticon soldiers' new name is Tod, and he is steves depressed older brother.
Yeah, you put WORK into forcing your self to want it.
And I also cannot believe one of the guys in the stream says that the sound wave Is their favorite item of the year
Yeah that was just Sad Hyping BS. No way anyone cares about a Repack.
6:58 perspective end asking why people are upset is the most ironic thing I’ve ever seen in my life
I believe Diamondbolt summed it up best. The size class means nothing but the price point.
Yeah, I hate that. I legitimately hate that. Price Point is Price Point, if you are selling a multi pack then sell a multi pack, Leader should mean a better figure.
I am absolutely stoked for deluxe prime
REALLY
I mean we kind of knew that Leader Soundwave was going to be an Earthrise rerelease, but what’s even the point of making it a leader if you’re not going to include ALL the cassettes.
And Thundertron gave me some hope that they would, since he has a full on deluxe as an accessory
I love the Bumblebee Movie Seekers and I'm so happy with how Skywarp looks, thank god they didn't use clear plastic for the cockpit this time
Love you Perspectiveend keep doing what you’re doing.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
If no one makes an upgrade kit to give Slipstream a new cheat, more accurate wings (in both purple and teal) and an animated style head I will be disappointed.
So basically replacing like half the figure?
Sadly yes, but it wouldn't be hard to parts swap. The head is just a ball joint, the wings have been shown by many reviewers to be removable and the chest is held together by two fill-up screws.
The Decepticon Soldier is only good to get to replicate the Vehicons, especially their role as being fodder
It doesn't rememble either the Aero Drones, Tank Drones or Cycles Drones enough for that. Nor the Copter Drones or Assault Drones from season two. Oh, were you talking about Prime? You sweet summer child, those AREN'T real Vehicons.
@@mrsamaritan6881 no they aren't but the play the same role as fodder to the point I couldn't care less about their differences
just get the APC toys reissues.
iirc there's even a double pack for both the car and jet.
But who wants to army build a terrible figure. Just use axelgrease as vehicons. It’s a much better figure and you can customise her
"trains, pirates, and gundam" hmm yes i wonder who that is
No telling honestly.
I have no doubt in my mind that the extra cassette is Buzzsaw(the yellow version of Lazerbeak).
It could be Ratbat, that is clearly in production going by Thundertron.
I’ve just gotta say this again, this is why I respect ya, Perspective, you don’t cower or kowtow under pressure, you form an opinion, share your sincere thoughts, and stand by it with a minigun at your other side to defend it until the object of critique itself proves you wrong. You don’t just follow the bandwagon, you don’t sugarcoat everything, you point out the bullshit with vehement honesty and still will admit if you were wrong about something because you don’t want to shit on everything in the grand, you just want everyone to have skepticism, think about what they’re spending their money on, and demand better quality than what we’re getting.
I may not agree with all your takes, for example I actually really like Metalhawk, don’t find myself as angry as I perhaps should be with the Missing Link prices, and pre-ordered Springer because I think he looks better than the Siege version. But human nature is to not align on every view, acknowledging the differences and still being able to go about your day while being cordial to even those you don’t align with. Which is why you getting death threats over a fucking toy is the most insane and disconnected-from-reality bull I’ve ever heard, and I’m almost more mad it somehow doesn’t surprise me. People have seriously gone insane these days and need a reality check, mental help, and ibuprofen.
For what I do agree with, though, I’m definitely excited for Straxus, the new Bumblebee even though he’s not perfect, that Deluxe G1 Optimus, Quake (so long as the alt mode is good, which in the image he has completely new lower legs so here’s to hoping they reworked the transformation to actually look like a tank), Armada Galvatron because Armada is my lifeblood, and now that you pointed it out I’m so much more excited for that spiritual Missing Link Grimlock than I ever was for the SS86 one. I’m so hopeful we see more third parties do their own Missing Link stuff because that Grimlock is absolutely gorgeous, and it’s the first time I’ve seen a third party figure that actually looked like a retail mainline figure with a fun transformation and not a nightmare torture device that costs anywhere between a small loan and an apartment’s rent payment.
Thank you for the Kind Words. I just want to say what I believe, because if it's not why would I even be saying it.
And that's what I want, I don't ever want to be in an Opinion Silo. I want fans and friends who disagree with me.
I think the Missing link stuff is a Sign of the times, and we will see more of it. A lot more.
I had ignored the Thundertron reveal, so I didn't give it much thought. Your take is 💯 spot on. Which is really depressing about Soundwaves
Thank you! Though I should have expected a less Hostile Reaction here, as I'm not on twitter.
@@PerspectiveEnd Well it is twitter lol.
man, you should be known as PerspectrodamusEnd
Just to let you know I’m not trying to convince you that the new thundertron release is good I’m just telling you why I personally like it
First of all I like repaints wether they mean anything or not I like seeing what molds look like in different colors that’s just part of how I enjoy the franchise
Second I didn’t get thundertron yet anyway
And third the Ratbat retool is a homage to an rid 2015 character and I really like the designs from that show and would like to see more of them in general
When I saw 86 springer for the first time I actually said “Really? That’s it?” Because he’s such a disappointment. Sure he has new stuff, but he’s still the mid fucking Seige mold.
I think the revealed once all look pretty good. I honestly really like how Springer looks, he was mayorly retooled and the extra accessories are pretty fitting too.
hasbro pulled up to the stream and said “oops, all shit!”
I agree with you about thundertron, he should have been a box set not a leader but i will definitly try to get him because i dont have any of the molds
Honestly, I didn't even know that was a Ratbat repaint until you pointed it out. I thought it was the head of a battle axe at first.
How much do you want to bet that because they are clearly currently producing that, the 1 Extra Cassette Soundwave is coming with is Ratbat.
@@PerspectiveEnd Well, if we can shove a stick up its exhaust port, Long live Axebat.
this genuinely might be my favorite video of yours
I agree with literally everything and man this video is something else.
All things considered the only reason why I’d get SS86 Soundwave is to get the cassettes for my Soundwave since I got him during Legacy and I don’t recall his cassettes releasing during Legacy.
I can tell you right now, there are cheaper ways to get more cassettes than buying a bad leader figure.
Hey PE! I just wanted to say that your analyses help me a lot of the time when it comes to my purchases. I might not always agree with you on what is or isn't a good figure, but I can always rely on you to be critical where you feel it's warranted, especially in regards to figure quality. Don't let the Twitter reactionaries demoralize you; you do excellent work!
I just want a damn Soundwave that turns into a tape recorder
I sympathies with that desire.
Thanks for not mentioning Robosen at all. That's the most tiresome part of the stream for me, it feels like it is their obligation to remind us those things exist for every now and then.
the roosen are almost as infuriating to me as the non transforming stuff. their only redeeming quality is the fact they're a marvel of engineering and are in some way, pushing the limits of robotics.
I’m not kidding when I say I breathed a sigh of relief when they said that 86 bee isn’t a partsformer I was not gonna get that bad masterpiece bee retool that calls itself Netflix bumblebee
That is very relieving yes.
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah
I love that everyone I listened to about Transformers has used the Missing Link Optimus Prime at home line.
I was mad about the Soundwave because I swear BMAC and crew said they were making their own version of Soundwave.
It's the Perfect way to Describe it.
Out of the two you've shown off so far, I like soon to meet the eye, it's just so smart
Hahahaha I gotta admit, I'm lookin forward to gettin that Thundertron, I wasn't able to get the first release and I've always really liked the character. That said I had imagined something a lil more pirate-esque to be what bumped him up to leader.
YOU BETRAY THE LAW!!! I am obviously the law in this scenario.
And yeah I expected anything better "New Head, brighter colors."
I honestly like the 86 Bumblebee and Springer- I always wanted a springer figure, and it looks kinda neat! I also like the accessories it comes with
My ONLY issue with Straxus is the comic stuff on it, but I know it's part of the line he's from, so it's aight- I just hope they release him normally in United!
After that, I gotta say that I honestly like the windblade figure-
I'm personally super here for the Cell shaded stuff, but to each their own.
Also... You monster.
@@PerspectiveEnd the Undertale kinda monster or the one that keeps you up at night lmao
Man just man I just want both the legacy slipstream and the comic edition straxus
Yet there's not a lot this time though I'm super thrilled to see, a few things look pretty good, but most of this is a skip for me.
I can already bet half the figures won't be avaliable at my local stores let alone the good figures releasing within the next 40 years. Still only got Legacy year 1 figures, studio series rotb airazor and legacy united beast machines cheetor shelf warming at all the stores I visited. So I will be waiting to see your videos on the figures
Hey at least the Airazor rules.
I saw the Thundertron and saw what it was coming with and then got depressed, I really wanna complete the rocks btw to see their combiner (if they Have one) But i'm saddled with Photo negative Batman And the Squid lips who has a hook (Btw he is coming with the foot its just packaged separately)
Im gonna get soundwave, It feels like a con (which it is) But i really want a Earth mode sound wave with his cassettes, But the rest all looks good (Minus springer(id honestly buy infantry before him))
When they revealed Springer my immediate thought was "ok, I guess I don't have to upgrade then" and then they showed the tiny little arm canon from one second of the movie and brain immediately flipped into "oh FUCK I need this immediately" and I don't know exactly why that was the moment that did it
It's always nice to hear your perspective. End.
Thank you so much.
I really wanted a cell shaded Jhiaxus with the guns he used in the comics but then I remembered he was from G2 and not the marvel comics so there probably not going to make one
I mean there's a better than 0 Chance for that I think.
I think the extra cassette might be buzzsaw because rumble or frenzy are covered in 86. lazerbeak and ravage are probably going to be there and ratbat is never going to be touched with a ten foot pole. On the other hand we haven’t got a buzzsaw since Titian’s return and yes I know this soundwave is going to be worthless but the buzzsaw is what I’m getting it for.
Hasbro's been packaging accessories separate from the figure for a while now. I highly doubt the foot's missing lol
Potentially, but we've not seen either way yet. So going by the leak it seems like it's missing.
I wonder... What universe will Hasbro's "We have Missing Link Optimus at home" classify as? G1? Marvel Comics? SKYBOUND?! (Imagine if later on we get some kind of Megatron also at Deluxe scale, and you can swap their arms)
That is an interesting question.
Honestly, Galvatron was the only fitting base for a comic accurate Straxus. I still love the Generations mold for the clever transformation and part storage; but a Decepticon Leader deserves a Leader Class toy. I'll wait for the reviews.
In direct contrast, if Quake is a Skullgrin retool, I'll stick to TR Quake, he's perfect, and offers a lot of customization if you own his G1 Targetmasters.
I legitimately don't understand why people are so bent out of shape about this thing.
And yes the TR Version of him is so much better than a Skullgrin retool ever could be.
The Thundertron was something I kinda predicted and mentioned in the interview we did, that being basically the voyager class but with more accessories. But I didn't expected the extra accessories being a third deluxe rock truck that tries to become accessories and a recolored cosset.
2:44 this gotta be the most biggest crash out I have seen in my life🤣
7:08 straxus is the one I’m looking forward to the most ngl
I don't actually have anything to add to what you said in the video, but signal boosting is fine too, right? I will say I appreciate the chance to get an animation-colors Springer with transforming rotors, since I was a bit too slow to get him at MSRP before and now he's about as much as a Leader Class with the collectors' market price bump anyway. Hopefully the ankles will have been firmed up as well.
6:29 hey now Springer looks pretty good and he does come with some extra accessories. He looks way better than siege.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the deluxe Optimus Prime is a predeco of the upcoming Studio Series 86 figure. Hopefully [SS86 won’t] just be packed with the ER trailer again
Just to make sure, you mean predeco as color scheme, right? If so, I’d say that depends on how toy accurate the deluxe Optimus will be. We at least know the 86 Optimus is gonna have blue eyes compared to the deluxe figure.
As for 86 Optimus himself, given that 86 Megatron is listed as a leader class I think it’s safe to say that Optimus has a higher chance of being around Legacy/Kingdom Galvatron’s size. If they’re keeping to their scale rules here, G1 Optimus and Megatron are just about the same height. And I imagine a larger Optimus would definitely require a larger trailer with more functionality and room for items; especially if they really want to justify that commander price point.
7:11 he does look pretty good in both modes. I just hope he's the size of Megatron. Or at least Galvatron. But by the looks of him he's a size of blaster. Because of the comic book.
This video made you my favorite TF reviewer
Edit: if the “leader” soundwave is bad whatever the top figure in the reply’s is I will buy it out of spite for the soundwave
Highly disagree about the original Thundertron figure, but that "leader" is a joke. I hated ERs leaders, and we're playing the same game again it seems.
Also I'm shocked how good Straxus looks. Love the new arm struts.
Thoughts on the upcoming SS figures:
86 Steeljaw: he looks okay, but I'm not that excited for him.
WFC Decepticon Soldier: congratulations, Soldier, you took Barricade and made him slightly more appealing to me. Only problem is that doesn't mean much as he looks to be the third worst SS figure of them all, beaten out by Barricade and Pablo.
BB Skywarp: I am excited for this guy, though I find it funny how his box art render looks like a digibashed Thundercracker.
86 Springer: not hyped for this guy aside from being my first Springer. The fact that this is the equivalent to The Fallen and Optimus Primal from the past two years by being the final Leader Class of the year is shocking.
86 Bumblebee: this would work better as Cliffjumper with a new chest and feet.
The Thundertron Leader is just the Netflix Megatron & Skelivore again, but with a bonus cassette instead of matrix and blast effects. It will probably end up clearance again and I might get it then.
Couldn’t agree more about the Soundwave. I was convinced it be the comic version that be a repaint. I don’t have the Earthmode Soundwave but I do have legacy and that one also has problems. I have blaster too, one of my absolute favourite figures. Soundwave needs a new mold or an extreme retool from Blaster.
That new missing link deluxe Optimus I’m so hyped for, that’s about the only thing from the stream really, and yeah it sucks to get death threats online, I’m glad it didn’t get you down but good luck in the future
I was originally so hyped for leader soundwave. Then I found out it was a straight repack of the earthrise and my heart died
I know exactly how you feel. That Sounwave was overhyped when it came out, and I think just about everyone has realized it just wasn't it chief.
Guys Windblade mold is great I can’t wait for Slipstream
Also Bumblebee is stealing Bumper’s look again
I can't stand the look of the Windblade.
And yet he is a bit. But also it's a Bumblejumper.
But why tho? Don’t tell me you have Gei4Mei’s reasoning???
It’s a great figure, poses well, articulation is fantastic, the sword can be sheathed and is a great Windblade toy
Here are my thoughts on all these reveals:
86 Steeljaw- About time that Blaster's cassettes are getting some love now after only Eject and Rewind.
GE Decepticon Soldier- Kinda mixed on this one. Looks interesting, but may or may not get.
86 Bumblebee- I like how this looks, and I see the potential repaints/retools for other characters, but a little disappointed that he isn't a Volkswagen Beetle.
BBM Skywarp- About damn time, Hasbro. Another BBM character for my collection. Now how about the red, orange, dark green, and teal blue seekers from the movie too? Yes those colors exist. Watch the Cybertron scene if you don't believe me.
86 Springer- Again, I'm a little mixed on this. I can see the retooling on this one, but at the same time, I still see the Siege mold looking at it.
Comic Straxus- Looks good. Might get this one.
First look at Star Raiders Thundertron- I love this, especially with the added in Armorizor.
Now for the Teasers:
Energon Galvatron- eh. Colors looks good, but probably not picking up this one.
Purple Bouldercrash- Immediate joy. Another Armorizor, the army keeps expanding.
G1 Quake- Finally, the Decepticon Targetmasters are complete, to go with Spinister and Needlenose.
Slipstream- looking forward to this one. First Slipstream I'll buy.
G1 Optimus- Eh? I understand something for the 40th anniversary, but not sure about getting him.
G1 Metalhawk- Might get him as I missed out on him. If he's metallic, may get the OG too.
Animated Motormaster- Looking forward to this, if only for the fact that I hope they do the other Animated Stunticons.
G1 Soundwave- All I'm saying is that I hope one of the 3 cassettes he comes with is Buzzsaw. He hasn't had a mainline release since Legacy Evolution Core Soundblaster.
Armada Galvatron- Might get him, as the Megatron was incredible.
I personally enjoy magneous a lot tbh, thundertron I’m after tho I’m aware of the issues and the cassette bot is neat, I get why people don’t like this and there’s no justification for giving death threats to anyone over a plastic toy, I’m excited for the thundertron pack tho I get why others aren’t happy with it.
I agree with everything you said about the thunder tron box set but rat bat repaint turns into a pirate flag and I need that
I suspect the logic with the Thundertron was that the Ratbat retool is meant to be his parrot and the rocklord is supposed to be some sort of buried treasure or literally just a rock for him to do the "Adventurer standing on a big rock" pose.
The Steeljaw honestly doesn't offend me as much as it could have, simply because it appears to have a more complex transformation than the other cassettebots and, if they are going to sell cassettebots individually for $10 each, it's at least better to have the oversized lump of plastic included be usable by their big bot as well, unlike Rumble and Frenzy, who's piledrivers have nowhere to go when they are in Soundwave's chest.
One thing I noticed from a bunch of folks is that the official photography and renders look substantially worse than they looked in-hand during the reveal stream.
On a more personal note, my Legacy United Starscream suffered a catystrophic failure in transit, despite being in a shaving kit, in my suitcase, during my return from Law School. I was worried the little cyber planet key would be lost and inserted it into his back when I noticed it fell out of the gun during my pitstop in Portland. Got back to HI to find the damn thing snapped off, leaving part of it in his back and the rest as just a circle. CPS strikes again, I guess.
I’m really excited with the new reveals. Super hyped for the ss 86 bumblebee and springer, I’m not sure if I should pick up the g1 retro reissue of soundwave or the leader class just revealed . I don’t have a soundwave yet
Ngl looking at that 3 pack, the only thing I’m interested in is the repaint of Rabat, I think that casette would look badass with the giant skull, when it’s put in Merc Soundblaster. I’m a little mad that I missed out on a Netflix bumblebee cause I was waiting for the 86 and I was disappointed, and I like the straxus I’m just hoping we get a version with a bit more paint as the comic version has the gap in between lines when using the color fill in mspaint effect with some comic Ben-day slapped on top. If we get him with a little bit more silver in there, I’d scoop it up.
86 Bee looks like Cliffjumper with the bumper of a Beetle. It barely looks like a VW Beetle.
I think I accidentally predicted them doing that repack of Netflix Soundwave. And I now regret saying I would want that.
You've cursed us all.
Thundertrons foot is likely in the back of the packaging.
Here’s my thoughts:
-Only buy Springer if you don’t already have the Seige mold
-Buy the 86 Bumblebee if you want a toon-accurate alt mode or just don’t have a good representation of the character
-Get the new Thunderhowl if you’re someone like me who doesn’t have any of the three. I love this thing (I think the foot comes as an accessory.
-Leader Soundwave is something I want because I don’t have the Earthrise. It’s also rumoured to have 3 cassettes or more.
-SS86 Steeljaw, Rumble, and Frenzy are way worse than Eject (A bonus with a basically perfect Voyager)
-Straxus looks good but I’d need it to be normal leader price or less to consider buying it.
I mean, stratus is normal leader price, you just need to order it from pulse, which means paying for shipping, unless you have an order over 75 bucks.
@@isuckatusernames4297 “Hasbro pulse is not available in your region.”
Or at least it wasn’t last I checked about 3 months ago.
@@mitchellbambam5926 yeah, its kinda random and from what I heard the service itself kinda sucks
The only way I could see the leader soundwave being a good deal is if the three cassettes he comes with are brand new higher engineering to normal core class figures. Maybe retooling the arms to not have the siege landing gear. And improved articulation. Maybe add an crunch
This whole reveal is just seeing repacks that have more in them to pump a higher price. I'm pissed at the Springer having the wreckers hammer despite NOT BEING THE WRECKERS VERSION.
As far as Soundwave goes I'm waiting on a studio Series 86 version
i like that bb skywarp has the cybertron coulour scheme
I may get the springer for 2 reasons
1. I dont have either versions of the siege mold
2. It seems to have a sword that actually transforms into the rotors like the T30, and i am a sucker for extra pack in accessories that transform.
Im just happy ill be able to get netflix soundwave. Instant buy.
It's unfortunately really not very good. It's gappy, the altmode is uneven and lump, and the robot arms are a tragedy.
Im surprised you never talked about Springer's rotor blades that face the same way.
