Earthrise double-dealer is definitely a good Improvement to the original double dealer especially with the logo flaps. And cause it ain't a powermaster.
He was my first ever leader class and damn he is amazing figure a lot of playability Great video master patriot P.s:his small gun can fit good on power of the primes battle trap
This is a great figure! To help with the clearance for the side panels, I maneuver his legs and knees so the sides tab in better for vehicle mode. Also when collapsing his legs for bird mode, you'll have to click them into place so the sides tab in as well. His fists are able to lock into place if you press down enough
Awesome review man! I ordered this figure from an inline retailer just this am when they lowered the price! QC on this one seems a bit lacking, and no ratchets on the elbows, but on the wings, seems like a very WTF thing.
Epic review Patriot Prime!!!!!!!! :D Doubledealer might just be the best deal we get with Earthrise leader class figures. :D Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D
I just opened mine, my friend, and he 100% goes to the left!!! tryed everything but he just wants to go to the left... Im sure its a factory issue. Anyway. Amazing figure! Great review as always.
Excellent review, as always, my brother! Got mine, but haven't been able to open him up just yet... Definitely looking forward to it though! Seeing the transformation, specifically with the wings, and based on your talking about the modes/factions, and how they've been tweaked for THIS updated version, where as Autobot OR Decepticon, he can utilize ALL 3 modes, instead of "just 2" per faction... I was wondering, IF in Decepticon bot form, is it possible to have the bird wings extended out and folded onto his back, and of course flip the chest around with his Decepticon Powermaster showing, to have more of a differentiation between his Bot/Con robot mode? That way he'd have that winged look for his Con robot mode, and more of his missile truck look for his Autobot robot mode. Is that even doable, or no, based on transformation/articulation points? 🤔 Regardless, this figure looks FANTASTIC, and REALLY nails that G1 LOOK! HOOO-AH!
Meant to add this comment a long time ago, but since it popped up in my feed today, I decided to rewatch the video, and update my prior comment... So, to answer my own question, yes, it is possible to give him two different looks in bot mode, to better represent whichever faction he's working for... In his Autobot bot mode, I have him in his basic out of the package bot mode, with the missile on his shoulder and gun in hand, all armed up, showing Autobot symbols... So, he LOOKS like he transforms into a missile truck not a bird... For his Decepticon bot mode, I fold his wings out and turn them down (similar to Seeker wings), and place the missile in the center of his back instead of on his shoulder, so he gives the appearance of transforming into some sort of winged form, rather than the missile truck... I think this offers a little more for display options, at least it does for me... Additionally, I just remembered that I had also increased his height slightly in bot mode, and firepower in alt modes, because I noticed that both alt modes were bigger than the G1 versions, but the bot mode was actually smaller, so I took 2 extra CW hand/foot weapons and plugged them into the bottom of his feet, increasing his height slightly and bumping up his firepower... I can't take credit for that particular idea, as someone else had tried it and I thought it would help his look... and I think it does. 😅
So the thing with the legs in vehicle mode those black tabs that are a pain in vulture mode need to be turned differently. Then those thigh tabs have no issue.
I'm looking forward to this figure. Pulse debited my account for him so he should be shipping any day now. I also think he leans to the right because he "leans to the right" if you catch my drift lol.
growing up my best friend had Double Dealer and I loved him (Double Dealer, not my best friend). I've only just started my War For Cybertron collection with Corsshairs and Hound but I am looking to get a slightly bigger bot next so am seriously considering Doubledealer.
I am kinda disappointed, but it's my own fault for wishing for him to be a continuation of Titans Return. I liked the MasterForce cartoon. With the move with Sixshot and Quickswitch, Getaway, Overlord and Powermaster Prime. I thought Hasbro was going to continue the vehicle mode cabin, a headmaster for both robot mode and "horror" mode. So that the visible head syndrome would be a little more hidden. But I'll end up getting him anyway as a Victory and after version without a human using a transtector. But yeah I still like the reverse triple changer idea. 2 sentient modes and 1 alternate mode.
They could have work the mercenary symbol in by having one arm have an Autobot Symbol and the other have a Decepticon symbol, with the flaps having his Mercenary Symbol
Great review! I have him sitting in the box ready to review him myself. Looks like they nailed it.
Hope you enjoy it!
Keep your videos coming!! Love the reviews and your enthusiasm for our chosen vice!!
Found him as part of the sale at Ollie’s bargain outlet today. Very awesome figure.
I did add him too my collection and I appreciate how much detail you went into the transformation because I was doing to missile top part wrong
Thanks, I try.
Np

You got yourself a double deal and it's a good one.
Great review sir. I’m on the hunt for this one!
You should be.
I just opened mine, my friend, and he 100% goes to the left!!! tryed everything but he just wants to go to the left... Im sure its a factory issue. Anyway. Amazing figure! Great review as always.
Back when I was a kid, I would have killed for a figure like this.
Now that I'm not young anymore, I just had to fight a few scalpers into submission!
I had that same issue with the vehicle mode. I found messing with the robots knee joints to get the clearance so the sides tab in better.
One of my favorite transformers figures wonder why they haven’t reissued him
Great video Patriot Prime My Doubledealer is coming in Wednesday or Friday, great review
Enjoy it

I'm extremely looking forward to getting him!
Man this a MUST GET!!!

Another great review! that guy sure is a unit!
Sure is!
Great review! What was the f bomb for @ 1521-22??

William Pothier he’s a conservative republican?
dope review bro love the no nonsense.
Appreciate that
growing up my best friend had Double Dealer and I loved him (Double Dealer, not my best friend). I've only just started my War For Cybertron collection with Corsshairs and Hound but I am looking to get a slightly bigger bot next so am seriously considering Doubledealer.
Just picked up a DoubleDealer at Walmart. The last one too.
Found him in the wild today. 👍🏾
Somehow, it's on UK shelves now too

Hey I'm kinda looking for a Siege Springer if anyone knows where to find it for not $50?
On big bad toy store he’s 31 I think but it’s a pre order
@@ummihavenoclue6316 okay thank you
It was the one figure I actually wanted from siege but never got😂
Buster DOG yeah I still need to find a sideswipe
Voyager or Leader class?
Leader
Anyone think it be cool to see power masters brought back? Perhaps in a similar approach to titans return head masters.
I'd love to see that.
Im still on the shelf about getting him for some reason.
They could have work the mercenary symbol in by having one arm have an Autobot Symbol and the other have a Decepticon symbol, with the flaps having his Mercenary Symbol
I have him and goddamn he is a lovely figure i still having even the package
Nice doubledealer bro
Thanks 😁
@@PatriotPrimeReviews your welcome dude
You didn't do the missile between the legs like you did with the g1 hahaha
Yes I did, I showed exactly how to do that configuration.
His changing alliance gimmick really gives way to imagination.
Gives me a Punch/Counterpunch vibe but for those of us who grew up with Armada, Sideways.
@@Webshooters1, true. Cybertron also had that type of gimmick for their Sideways.
I thought his power Masters Were him Like the Japan power masters
Does Toyhax sell a Transformers mercenary symbols?
Where would you put it?
@@twistedgaming9185 On the top of the missile but mostly asking for Sound Blaster
GREAT THING
Better than Doctor Lockdown's review. No constant whining.
Thanks.
I try to be a more positive light in a negative world.
Just get rid of the Eagle mode and change couple pieces and you can have a Transformers Generation Cybertron Red Alert
Nah, Doubledealer is the superior bot.
Never understood why Red Alert was a missile truck in that series.
Man g1 did not sacrifice in vehicle mode it’s always better, same deal with g1 quake remake
"No real dealbreaker for me" Don't you mean... doubledealbreaker?
LOL!
Should have been a little bigger
Its not a vulture its a falcon
