This is what the Red line should've been Super accurate versions of the characters with high posability, but at the cost of a transformation Also can we change Tarn's name to Musclebear? *it strangely works*
I'm really baffled by what Hasbro's thinking regarding the Red line. There are so many directions that could work yet they didn't. They could've tapped into 1. the very pricey poseable statues 2. flame toys/threezero 3. cheaper alternatives of the previous two options 4. decently poseable, sufficiently accurate figures that scale with chug 5. decently poseable figures that scale with MP. Instead they kinda half-assed on every aspect possible...
@@symbiote1982pk No, the R.E.D. line is a series of (mostly) inaccurate characters made of garbage materials and with somehow worse poseability than the actual transforming figures.
Well, it looks like i'm gonna have to go back and read the old IDW continuity in full. I've always loved Tarns design but never read any comics he was in, only seeing him in Cyberverse. But this looks like something that would look amazing with most collections. This would be one of the few figures someone would ask about and all i can say is "I dunno, i just think it looked cool"
Figure looks amazing. I love the idea of modular parts for more options, especially for a transformer that, doesn't transform. Honestly quite impressed, great video.
I think the speaker idea is really cool when you think about it. Think Tarns voice can literally shut people down or cause someone to explode. If he were in battle he could use his voice (amplifying it) with the speakers and just decimate anyone who stands in his way. Anyways amazing video as always! Keep up the good work my friend!
As much as I love my MMC Tarn figure, this thing looks so good. The amount of detail and overall look of the figure sometimes makes me wish I had pre ordered this, but I didn't as I wasn't sure about buying a KO version of a Flame Toys figure. I just hope we get a Cyberverse Perfect Decepticon/Tarn figure soon, I'm tired of options that either don't transform or are so god damn expensive.
I am one of the two lol I paid off my preorder a month ago. This video is an early Christmas present for me! I’m so glad you finally got yours. Also I absolutely loved your iron factory video!
Technically, Third Party should only be the offical HasTak licensees, and unaffiliated 3P companies should be "IP-Infringing Party", but no one's going to go with that.
Not a fan of non transforming figures, but this does look amazing. But I’m someone with a mindset of a toddler and that mean that “iF It dOEsN’T tRAnSfOrM, i dOnt lIKe iT!” I guess I’m definitely someone who loves the puzzle aspect of transforming a figure. Great video as always!
I love having this figure but you also have to mention the fingers that will pop off, at least on my version and other videos on TH-cam. Over all I love it. The lights all work on my version. The stand sucks and broke for me.
I'm looking forward to the super 7 Tarn, and hopefully we get a cyberverse version based on that drone that looked like Tarn. This however is a beautiful piece for less than the cost of the original.
The reason tarn has speakers as an accessory. Is because tarn has the power to kill people with his voice, and killing people with song is the way he finishes his victims.
#1 HOLY COW THAT THING IS SO SHINY I NEEEEED IT #2 Did you forget question of the video again or did I miss it? Or are you not doing it in your videos before break? #3 I found this channel a year ago today, watched every video since. Thanks for providing fantastic reviews and entertaining videos all year, can't wait to see what's next! Thank you!
Seeing how good this is makes me wonder how good the super 7 will be. I’m kind of interested in it cause I love his design though I wish the super 7 had the more known color scheme cause it seems that he’s gonna be mostly black. I may buy it for my wfc collection just cause of how cool tarn is Also what are your thoughts on it?
The super 7 stuff is a lot more limited in articulation and softer in sculpting, more like less articulated RED figures that come with a bunch of accessories to try to justify their expensive price
@@PerspectiveEnd I'm surviving! Life is still busy as heck, but it's the kind of busy that's building towards good things, so can't complain too much. I still lurk and watch a vid from time to time, hope you've been doing well my dude. 👍
This looks soooooo COOL! I the Flame Toys Figure I´ve always wanted is the Dreamwave Fallen one... If this is as good, I can´t wait to see how cool is the fallen one! I like Tarn, not as much as the Fallen... But wow AMAZING!
@@PerspectiveEnd Still That is the best Fallen... and Best Story for him, then the IDW one... The Evil Bionicle, the Woose Optimus Beated with ease in in RID 2015, and the Megaman Boss From POTP, do not deserve that name.
I really want a tarn to fit into my chug collection, and I’m not really interested in the other members so I don’t mind if he’s just really tall compared to everyone else. Great video!
I think the speakers are genius and would be a terrifying upgrade to tarn, as with his death speaking ability he could only kill as many people as far as he can be heard but now imagine him with those loud speakers he could broadcast his voice so much farther, he could potentially kill a whole battlefield if he wanted to, terrifying awesome huh?😎
Really want the Starscream they are doing that’s part of this line. Always wanted to check one of these out just never had investment in the characters they’ve done enough to justify spending that much. But they got me with screamer.
I have the flametoys Star Saber, I’ve been debating on Tarn for awhile since they’d look cool together. Now that this KO exists im definitely gunna go for it.
The speakers are in the comics for one panel when the djd and deathsaurus are about to storm the lost light crew held up in the necro bots base. hope you don't get to many comments about this I did a quick skim of the comments to see if anyone mentioned it. Also awesome video man anything planned for Christmas or new years?
I seem to have gotten a few but it's fine. I don't remember that shot of him with them, but I do remember the scene so I'm sure you guys are right. Thank you.
Great way to start the Christmas holidays, really cool figure, I personally prefer the MMC, mostly because it transformers, but I can admit that this is cool
@@PerspectiveEnd Basically this comedian who acts like this Asian stereotype (don’t worry, he’s Asian too) who reacts to people cooking Asian dishes or something else. His most famous is people cooking egg fried rice and he mostly suffering from it (mainly from Jamie Oliver for cooking it all wrong).
I'm fond of the IDW Megatron model kit myself. it not transforming plays into my head canon that when Megs went Autobot, he became a monoform as an act of penance
I love the way this looks, and all I know about Tarn is that he is a mass murderur, and can kill with his voice. Are you interested in getting any Cyberverse Tarn figures if they come out?
2:01 at least they aren't Skytread's/Flywheels's feet, LOL. Yeah, it's an amazing figure. It have fantastic sculpt, beautiful paint except for the face, great articulation, and bunch of accecories. Still have its flaws but still. Amazing nontransformable Transformers, Flame Toys really outdid themself with the sculpt even tho this is a 4th party figure. Anyway, great review.
So there is this cyberverse sound wave I have and it 13 bucks a Walmart and I’m my opinion I think it’s pretty good so if you have time do you think it would be able to have a review and if does then it is a sound wave that is in a green cyberverse box. And thanks for looking at this comment it means a lot you inspire me to make videos so keep it up with your content and don’t forget to have a merry Christmas
I don't want to get your hopes up, very likely not, but maybe. I don't want those figures because they don't match my collection at all, but if it gets cheap enough I might... MAAAAAAYBE. And you are more than welcome. Merry Christmas to you as well.
Awesome review! But also, where did you purchase it if you don’t mind me asking? I was told from Frank from ShowZ that this isn’t coming out for another few months on the site and I’d really like to know where to buy this
I don't get why people say that's not tarn's face just because it doesn't look like his original face. In idea shockwave was a blue and white senator with a face before he was rebuilt. Why is that big of a deal then that tarn's face looks like roller's? He looks nothing like his original self and that was the point. Sure you can pretend his original face reveal didn't count because they were planning for roller to be tarn but changed it, but when the djd and megs fight, we see tarn's face before he died and sure enough it's roller's face, his face.
Was it pre-built? Or one you built yourself? I know the Furai models are builds, not sure about the larger Flame Toys toy group. Kind of a pity they weren't commissioned to do the RED series in some regards, but then again Takara Tomy/Hasbro strike me as the sort of company that micromanage official stuff they commission to other creators to a nightmarish degree. Not quite Nintendo's draconian levels, but I imagine not as far off as creators would like.
LR41 are really annoying. The 2010 Tron figures use them and they are a pain to get for a good price. 10 of them cost me 18 pounds. And they’re so fiddly
Funny how even as a tiny toy, tarn is still causing pain and suffering to anyone who dares touch him
I wouldn't call him tiny but yes.
This is what the Red line should've been
Super accurate versions of the characters with high posability, but at the cost of a transformation
Also can we change Tarn's name to Musclebear?

No
That *is* what R.E.D. is genius.
@@symbiote1982pk No, the R.E.D. line is a series of (mostly) inaccurate characters made of garbage materials and with somehow worse poseability than the actual transforming figures.
If there was transformers version of the “Be careful who you call ugly in middle school” meme, I feel like tarn would fit that description.
The part about him being painful to touch, y’know you gotta MAN UP TO PLAY WITH YOUR TRANSFORMER TOY
Yeah, but what can you do, the design is spikey?
Maybe the speakers are so his voice of death can blare through the battlefield like a demented war cry.
Well, it looks like i'm gonna have to go back and read the old IDW continuity in full. I've always loved Tarns design but never read any comics he was in, only seeing him in Cyberverse.

The speakers are a reference to MTMTE Volume 10 where he played Empyrean Suite, pretty much the DJD Theme Song.
That does look great, I like Tarn in the comics. Be cool if we would get a Tarn in generations
I love how premium his paint looks. He’s gorgeous.
I love tarns design it looks so cool wish I could get this figure
I love having this figure but you also have to mention the fingers that will pop off, at least on my version and other videos on TH-cam.
Over all I love it.
The lights all work on my version.
The stand sucks and broke for me.
I'm not a big fan of Tarn myself, but I love how excited you got over this. 😆
Tarn... with speakers.... and his killer voice? That is a weapon of mass destruction...
True.
One would say, an "Instrument of Destruction"

Oh my god, that’s probably the best paint I’ve ever seen
Cool review he looks awesome I'm waiting for my optus nox to arrive from bbts I missed optus pexus so looking forward for the nox version
It's an incredibly fun to pose figure, I think you will enjoy it a lot.
Why couldn't RED be more like this? Also, Partyception.
its a crime that tarn didn't get to clash with bayverse prime in that studio trigger collab
Tarn would have won easily.
Seeing how good this is makes me wonder how good the super 7 will be. I’m kind of interested in it cause I love his design though I wish the super 7 had the more known color scheme cause it seems that he’s gonna be mostly black.

Also what are your thoughts on it?
The super 7 stuff is a lot more limited in articulation and softer in sculpting, more like less articulated RED figures that come with a bunch of accessories to try to justify their expensive price
My guess with the speakers would be for a scenario where he’s projecting a large group of people to like kill them I guess
7:52 I think it's because he's known for playing classical music
I think you are right about that.
Tarn might be my favorite character that I only knew existed about 6 months
i know they are just "generic strongman poses", but all I could think was Major Alex Louis Armstrong with those poses
I think the speaker thing is to amplify his special voice power? Idk if it was in the comic but does make sense for the character
I still can’t believe tarn showed up in cyberverse
This is probably the reason why tarn wears a mask
His face is supposed to be a little messed up, but not this messed up.
Dammit man, don't tempt me to get ahold of this thing, it looks so damn gooooood. Also, hope the holidays are going well for ya'.
My holidays went to great thank you.

This looks soooooo COOL! I the Flame Toys Figure I´ve always wanted is the Dreamwave Fallen one... If this is as good, I can´t wait to see how cool is the fallen one! I like Tarn, not as much as the Fallen... But wow AMAZING!
The fallen was barely ever in Dream Wave with that design. But since that is a retool of this I will say it will be glorious.
@@PerspectiveEnd Still That is the best Fallen... and Best Story for him, then the IDW one... The Evil Bionicle, the Woose Optimus Beated with ease in in RID 2015, and the Megaman Boss From POTP, do not deserve that name.
The headsculpt reminds me of the masks the instrumentalists in Ghost wear
I actually misread the title many MANY times and thought it said “musclebar Tarn”
I feel like Musclebear is almost worse.
I really want a tarn to fit into my chug collection, and I’m not really interested in the other members so I don’t mind if he’s just really tall compared to everyone else. Great video!
Well this is a Tad tall for a Chug collection, but the MMC one would fit that scale a lot better. This is still an AMAZING figure though.
I think the speakers are genius and would be a terrifying upgrade to tarn, as with his death speaking ability he could only kill as many people as far as he can be heard but now imagine him with those loud speakers he could broadcast his voice so much farther, he could potentially kill a whole battlefield if he wanted to, terrifying awesome huh?😎
He would be a one person army at that point but he'd have to go in alone to not kill everyone around him.
Tarn is an awesome character, and is something hasboro will never do, so looks pretty nice
And now Hasbro done him. 😅
Really want the Starscream they are doing that’s part of this line. Always wanted to check one of these out just never had investment in the characters they’ve done enough to justify spending that much. But they got me with screamer.
(Not have read most of the IDW comics) So what is Tarn's actual face during he's in DJD? Is it a one eye face only or the face with scars?
The speakers are probably there so he can black the empyrian suite
I have the flametoys Star Saber, I’ve been debating on Tarn for awhile since they’d look cool together. Now that this KO exists im definitely gunna go for it.
I think the speakers on his back are there as he plays music while killing
It's actually from a Frame of the comic where he was doing that in an administrative job.
@@PerspectiveEnd oh ok
it'll be interesting to see how the Super7 version compares
Remember?
I know what I'm buying after Christmas.
Tarn is a beefy Boi of murderes intent
This Tarn could make other bots oil themselves just by standing around cassualy, the intimidation is cranked to 11
The speakers are in the comics for one panel when the djd and deathsaurus are about to storm the lost light crew held up in the necro bots base. hope you don't get to many comments about this I did a quick skim of the comments to see if anyone mentioned it.

Commenting so he can get more views:nah
commenting to make a meme: now that's where it's at
I just found legacy tarn at my local early my mind is blown
Damn! I wish I could find even Dragon Megatron at this point.
You're a Lucky Guy.
Great way to start the Christmas holidays, really cool figure, I personally prefer the MMC, mostly because it transformers, but I can admit that this is cool

Oh my hes a beefy one
The beef meters off the charts!
The only non transformer I have is Cybeverse Macadam, (AKA) Alchemist Prime.
I NEED MMC to make my boy warpath, the only MP scaled one is... bleagh FansToys
Yeah we need an MP Version of that guy who doesn't suck.
Dang as much as I love Tarn and how this figure looks, I just cant handle that it doesnt transform it just doesnt feel right
Thick thighs save lives and hoo boi are tarns thighs thick
In this case Thicc Thighs End Lives.
I didn’t know this KO existed…
How do you like the look of r.e.d knockout?
It doesn't make sense why he can't transform because in the comics he always burns out his teacog because he spends more of his time in the tank
Si basically tarn is now a jojo character
I just got a ko of mp soundwave and it's 10/10
Also great review!
Awesome review! But also, where did you purchase it if you don’t mind me asking? I was told from Frank from ShowZ that this isn’t coming out for another few months on the site and I’d really like to know where to buy this
Can't wait for the legacy version, because I cam actually afford it!
Hopefully it will be at least 1/10th this good.
It's kind of ridiculous that the flametoys makes the MMC look like a regular chug figure next to it
It looks amazing, it’s almost painful that I can’t get it.
So... A 4²th party figure?
That's like 16 parties.
Isn't the yellow deception logo kinda stupid considering he is a loyal follower of the decepticon ideology?
2nd/3rd/4th party wasn't confusing at all. I mean it. Sorry if that sounded sarcastic!
I think I'm sold.
I already have the mmc too.
Yo I got the kingdom legends soundwave and wow for a legends figure its actually really good do not regret buying.
Hey just consider it like this You holding something as buff like this is going to make you also buff
Wait. Douse MMC figures of model kits come pre built? Also how douse paint chip just by looking at it wrong?
