Here to comment on this decade old video to say that I always really loved the quasi-lore you gave to third-party releases. These reviews always have some awesome story to them and it always puts a smile on my face. The Hercules and Protector stuff was great, but the Fansproject Colossus stuff was always my favorite!
Wanted to say thanks for the review on this figure, I got him a couple of years ago when you could still find him(reduced) from sellers and since you informed me so well what I was getting into I don't regret the purchase at all, I'd also comment on your lore bits you do and such but everyone comments on that enough I'm sure you know how well you do on that
Owning Fireshot, I can see the resemblance in the face- however Fireshot is a micromaster combiner, specificity the front half of a SR71 Blackbird. However I think we are literally looking at half the picture. I am reminded of another micromaster combiner called Blastmaster which forms the rear end of a shuttle. Something to think on : )
Bought this figure because of how awesome this video was.I've always been interested in Explorer and when this video came out it finally pushed me to get it and I have never since regretted it. Such a fun little dude :D. The only problem is that my left swivel joint got super loose but the ball joints are still stiff so it's probably just a quality control issue. Thank you for your great videos!
@RiderManX0 They're not meant to go with the Crossfire sets, they are stand-alones. They are meant to just be figures, so take that into consideration. I would get them especially if I don't have the crossfire sets, I do, and I'm still getting them.
With only cash for one... This is the Causality I want to buy.. Hopefully next month I can buy the other, but I love the explorer mold more than I like the munitioner mold.
@wesleyv1 chill man i suppose i missed it, i just assumed that he was using the extra connection stuff that the originals came with. Because it sounded to me like he said that you didnt need to buy extras of the explorer and the other guy to get the combiner parts.
@KRiderMan1248 Thank you for clearing that up. And by the way how do you come up with the diolog in the intro? Is that part of the bio for the figure or is it something you came up with. And who is the person doing the voice?
Hey Van, these narratives that you've done for the Causality characters..... are the storylines you original ideas OR are they actual stories that are included with the figures? If so, what or WHO was this being that both these guys remember being? Oh, and your narratives are kick-ass!
Do, does this guy come with the hand, etc for the combined mode? If I don't have any of the other FP combiner items, will it be possible to attach this guy to a stock Energon gestalt?
seriosuly the bio for this guy is an updated blast-off? thats very kool you can tell FP are having fun making up this fiction. I have a bad feelin your gonna try and make me buy these at botcon, my wallet crys at night knowing doom is coming to it!
Wait... Blast Off --> Explorer--> Flameblast? I like where this is going. You could have potentially 3 different versions of Bruticus made of different histories and colors.

Man, that was a sweet transformation sequence. Seeing Flameblast flying around half-transformed was sweet.
Those details really draw me in.
dude i love ur presentations man, i like the part where he was like "deemed irrelevant" that was really cool repeating it! already bought it too!
@KRiderMan1248 You're correct. I used stuff from my existing Crossfire-02, and Flameblast does not come with the shoulder plug or fist.

@221b Flameblast does NOT come with the shoulder connector or the hand. You need Crossfire-02 to do any combining.

BEST... INTROS... EVER!!!!! i luv this one especially the figure just looks so cool in shadows.
Amazing review Vangelus!
Enjoying the reviews. Thanks for the hard work!
I love these really sinister intros... They're awesome.
Why didn`t I realize that these two toys are coloured in the G2 colours? I guess I`m slow today.
I love that head sculpt! I might have to get this guy!
@DOWSOE No combination, Causality is meant to be a standalone figure line much like Warbot, but Warbot, as far as I can tell, is for the Wreckers.
awesome opening dude wow great job. i so cant wait to add him to my collection .
With only cash for one... This is the Causality I want to buy.. Hopefully next month I can buy the other, but I love the explorer mold more than I like the munitioner mold.
@DMSL2007 also two more causality figures after the insecticons, a heartmaster, Crossfire 03, audacity, and more
I love the whay you transform them with these fantastic movie scenes ;)
Flameblast is the figure too get right now. All you need 3 of the energon main peices and you set. The big thing to wait on is the Insecticons.
@KRiderMan1248 I based it on the Explorer bid and the included bio card. The voicing is just me.
@kylash327 Sony SR-10. I just manually set the exposure down and use 3 lights. :)
You are really good at hiding your hands during the transformation sequences
vangelus....were still waiting for the ninjas
The pistols and the holsters remind me of the dynames gundam
@Vange1us Have you ever thought of showing the Causality Figure with the superlink colossus?
@Vange1us wow thats some good dialog and the voicing is rather enjoyable.
Is the intro music from the mass effect soundtrack you talked about in an episode of WTF@TFW
i love your small skits
@wesleyv1 chill man i suppose i missed it, i just assumed that he was using the extra connection stuff that the originals came with. Because it sounded to me like he said that you didnt need to buy extras of the explorer and the other guy to get the combiner parts.
@Lycanthrope008 There's 3 Insecticons and 1 Warbot repaint coming from Fansproject.
Thats very nice retooling of the Explorer.
I'm pretty sure if you used the new Causality guys with the Energon/Superlink guys you would achieve G2 Bruticus Glory.
the headfin looks cool IMO, like Lazengann, but to a far lesser degree
Does the new window paint apps scratch easily?
@KRiderMan1248 Thank you for clearing that up. And by the way how do you come up with the diolog in the intro? Is that part of the bio for the figure or is it something you came up with. And who is the person doing the voice?
@fealmor the other fansproject works. Go look up bruticus by fansproject. :]
@EsenxGundam The not-insecticons that Fansproject is doing
If we're waiting for ninjas, how will we know when they get he...
*sssschlikt!*
...oh. Right. *dies*
COOL HEAD SCULPT!!! I like it! :)
Hey Van, these narratives that you've done for the Causality characters..... are the storylines you original ideas OR are they actual stories that are included with the figures? If so, what or WHO was this being that both these guys remember being? Oh, and your narratives are kick-ass!
I have both these on pre-order
I can't tell if the end is a teaser, or if it's Vangelus being Vangelus...
I NEEEEED THIS.
Do, does this guy come with the hand, etc for the combined mode? If I don't have any of the other FP combiner items, will it be possible to attach this guy to a stock Energon gestalt?
so that opening was freakin creepy i like it XD
@JazonMaxuz Internet is about the only way to get these guys, BBTS, TFSource, and Robot Kingdom are the main sites to get these guys.
yeah, this. i want to see this
Ninjas? NINJAS!? WHERE!?! WHEN!?? *ducks and hides*
what is that white and blue trimmed star thing in the background at 0.33 ?
seriosuly the bio for this guy is an updated blast-off? thats very kool you can tell FP are having fun making up this fiction. I have a bad feelin your gonna try and make me buy these at botcon, my wallet crys at night knowing doom is coming to it!
if you look in my flameblast vid it shows how to put the knife in storge
I actually might get this guy. I really hate spending on a repaint but the guns may sway me. Damn, my wallet and I are going to need to go to therapy.
@Vange1us assuming you have such pieces, can you combine them with bruticus?
Drone for the win!
Are the ninjas suposed to be the fansproject insecticons?
Gah I wish I was half that good at doing epic voices. >
This guy looks pretty awesome even as a stand alone fig- kick ass:D
But ...why ninjas?
btw what are the "colossus and berserker projects" u are referring to?
5:15 the best
Hey Vangelus, do you know if the flameblast and warcry can combine with the "ninja trio" ? Or is FansProject releasing them as stand alones?
So whats the Ninjas at the end of the video? Is that the Insecticons?
wait... ninjas? you mean that one 3rd party arcee/ chromia/ whatever the third one was called that i think you are referencing?
i like his face :D
for how much could i pick this guy up
so how many are left to be realeased
Vangelus would you recommend this to someone who has neither Crossfire sets yet?
this guy looks as intimidating as kiruru from the sgt frog movies.
wheres the others?
ah so CA 01-02 are just stand alone figures with no combining parts for the Colosses
@raikutsu918 Fansproject's not-insecticons
Ninjas. Insect robot Ninjas.
@Slayershoop ok thx man
Does Explorer sleep in lust in this video? Because he looks like that. :D
Ok i get that hes Explorer in a new body but y the name change?...couldnt he just still be Explorer?
can he ride the shoe as a skateboard too ?
@KRiderMan1248 how do ya figure
kinda tempted.........
Ha, I can tell that you edit in the research on the name after the fact
@jonomathiq About $45 USD
Want... so... much
Damn dude, your intros are mega anime.
Write a Transformers anime plz, tia :D
@MegaTfman Yes
You gonna review CA-03,04,05?
@KRiderMan1248 werent you listening he said that they did come with combining pieces hell he even showed them off
seriously dude pay attention
@jonomathiq np
@wesleyv1 ah well it seems like you sir owe me an apology.
@jolteonstorm1 notahh, this sounds nowhere near vangelus and I wanted to know from vange1us himself so good day
Ninja's? Someone care to explain?
Wait...
Blast Off --> Explorer--> Flameblast?
I like where this is going. You could have potentially 3 different versions of Bruticus made of different histories and colors.
ninjas???
who voiced this video?
@trence5 bruticus maximus (fansproject collosus)
INSECTICONS!!!
Human
@OggSquirrelHunter SPOILER ALERT !!!!!!!!!!! lol
i need money!!!! :'(
Insecticons? I heard ninja and thought Nighbird.
WILL YOU STOP MAKING ME WANT TO SPEND MONEY ALREADY?
