I didn't even know the Prime head could actually be used as a replacement like that. I just assumed it was a static display piece, so seeing it on anybody was a pleasant surprise for me!
@@TsunogaiDanshaku Yeah, it has caught me off-guard, too! They could've easily left it as a simply display piece as you said, and nobody would've held it against them. As annoying is as it is when Hasbro seems to be cheaping out on us, such neat little attentions to detail are always greatly appreciated.
Shockwave has never EVER looked better than he does in the comics. It is the ONLY repaint that will consistently upend the original in my collection, in a G1 display.
I'm kicking myself over missing the entirety of the SS86 Dinobots.. I really should pick them up at some point. I really love these comic decos, and I hope we see more of them in the future.
@@Nediablo You and me both! I came in about 2 waves too late and couldn't afford to get the previous ones, so I just kept skipping out. I love the Dinobots and really regret not coming back to collecting sooner!
Me too. They did Grimlock and I didn't realise they were looking to do the entirety of the 86 movie, I just thought it was a one-off essentially and thought "well, doesn't look that different to my Masterpiece". Then Slag came out and it had the issue with the weird head colour and I never saw it amazingly cheap and now they're pretty much all out boy do I have non-buyer's remorse.
Likewise. I was, and still am, happy with most of the PotP combining Dinobots, but that Grimlock is just... bleh. And if I get the SS Grimlock, what are the rest of the lads gonna do, stand around like a bunch of sad sacks? No! So I've got to get them all, don't I? Arrgh!
Wow metalhawk looks amazing with that prime head. Also seige crosshairs can fit seige prime's head which kinda reminds me of the war within prime design.
Oooh, I simply LOVE these comic style releases. The boxes...the colour schemes...the nostalgia. And no, I will not apologise for gushing over them like a menopausal woman looking at a particularly impressive cake. They're awesome...and now I want cake.
Idk if im in the minority but im not a big fan of the cel shading. Its definitely applied nicely, and looks cool, but id rather have alternate decos to go alongside my main collection, especially bots like Straxus, who dont have a lot of toy rep. Still a fun premise tho.
Ofcourse 'blue' in the comics was actually not really meant as blue, but used instead of black for printing reasons. Spiderman's black costume was often more blue than black for the same reason. But it looks fantastic !
That Grimlock is a thing of beauty. I don't want them to overdo this comic thing but it'd be criminal not to get a Geoff Senior tribute sometime. A head sculpt, anything.* * really I want his Powermaster Prime
I can sleep a little easier knowing metal hawk has now been put to rest for my questions and also thank you for the shout out appearance as the bug lol it’s always a Steve or a Steven
I was crushed as a kid because all the Dinobots were sold out literally everywhere back in the day. I may have to pry open the bank account for this Grimlock though. I owe it to my 8y/o self.
Both figures look great. Shockwave's colour scheme is a vast improvement on the original Siege figure whose colours were too dark and just lacking in character. I still hold out hope to see the figure repainted in his Actionmaster colours but this version will keep me happy in the meantime.
That ending was great 😂😂 You need the handsome as hell pup in more videos Gavin! People love dogs and so does the algorithm! Love both these colour schemes. I wish they could have blown Shockwave up a bit so he was closer in wize to the Dinobots but that is such a nothing issue. Don't even know why I mentioned it!
cheers for this. ive been on the fence about picking him up but now swoops out i got a hankering to collect the leader dinobots and this lad is the grimlock i want to lead em. bit of a surprise HOW few vids theyre are of him. i know he's sold out in the states but ya can still pick him up off hasbro europe yet he's only really getting reviews of us lot outside of the US. WEIRD. still GERAT vid man.
I'm big into the cel-shaded look so I think we can DIFINITVILY state, that it is indeed, really cool. I'd like more of it, give me the lads from Devastation with it. Which ones? All of them!
Was glad to see them releasing another Shockwave I could get, as I never could get the Siege original first time round, and not for the prices they've been offering elsewhere. And one based on the comic look is very stellar, I eagerly await him to arrive. I was unsure if I was going to get Grimlock, due to already having the Studio Series one and wanting to not buy recolours of toys I already have, but I think they've found a way to get at me specifically to get this one. Perhaps later when I have some extra cash and a quiet month in terms of releases.
If you want to amuse a non-Transformer fan, randomly place your dinobots and beast wars figures around your home. Make sure they’re being used as a mount by another ‘bot. Sure to bring a smile!
the only thing I'll say about Grimlock is that the blue, I feel, is a little too bright seeing as it was supposed to substitute for black in the comic I think a shade closer to navy would've been a good middle ground
Out of my budget, but this whole line's insanely cool. Slightly surprised they didn't try to do a Gears/symbiote'd Spider-Man minifigure pack. I think (for no particular reason) they're going to do that next year, so that they can throw Megatron in.
Answering the important questions at the end, eh? I kinda don't wanna get ANOTHER Shockwave as I do have the Siege one...but that box...not to mention I want the other 3 releases, so I kinda need Shockwave anyway, don't I?
What? No Shattered Glass Grimlock to make a barber shop quartet? LOL I'm still wafting for his G2 navy blue iteration and/or a G2 turquoise too. Never enough Grimlocks.
I like the idea but the execution in terms of the packaging is a bit weak. I know we don't really do inserts anymore but those would've really made the whole book style opening front flap boxes much better. I mean once you get the figure out it's all just gonna rattle inside if you try to use it as storage again lol.
If you could only pick one, which one would you go for? I know Grimlock is being rereleased in SS86, but I don’t know if he’ll include those swords. I’ve never experienced either mold, both Shockwave and Grimlock.
@@TRDQnice. I’ve been debating on picking up one of them. I knew Grimlock was getting rereleased soon, but if this is that much of an upgrade, then I’ll go for him over Shockwave and the reissue
Please hasbro stop selling that ahockwave at a leader price so I can finally get my hands on the mold. My collection is severel, missing a shockwave and the aftermarket price for any other versiom of this mold is just straight up nuts.
Not gonna lie, Metalhawk with that Marvel Prime noggin looks suprisingly, unironically hench!

Same I’ve only got snarl who’s great but I NEED the others! 😂
Ditto! Although I’ve give up on them as those after markets prices are too much for me!!! Good luck and I hope there’s a re release 🎉

Love these so much, great review as always dude! I pre-ordered Grimlock, the colours are amazing! 😁

Cellshaded deco CLASHES with everything, it makes me say “NO THANKS”
Wow metalhawk looks amazing with that prime head. Also seige crosshairs can fit seige prime's head which kinda reminds me of the war within prime design.
Finaly we got properly introduced to your Editor Steven!
Fun fact, that shockwave's neck ball joint is just as big as the ball joint in siege Optimus' neck
I'm in love with these. I'm so glad to have picked them up. I can't wait for the next two!
Oooh, I simply LOVE these comic style releases. The boxes...the colour schemes...the nostalgia. And no, I will not apologise for gushing over them like a menopausal woman looking at a particularly impressive cake. They're awesome...and now I want cake.
Hasbro should continue this series with a purple Soundwave!
With the mouth!

Primal Hawk. Wasn’t expecting that.
I think we can all agree that Toby is the _real_ star of this channel. Gav just pretends to be the host, but we all know who has the real power here.
Very nice review. You still have a way with just you words to make my wife chuckle. You are fantastic!
I can sleep a little easier knowing metal hawk has now been put to rest for my questions and also thank you for the shout out appearance as the bug lol it’s always a Steve or a Steven
Toooobi !!!
Living room !!!
Staircase !!!
The bots are nice, too but man, those Gavin's life vibes! Back to the good old days!
I love it
OH GOD! THE COMIC SHADING ABOVE GRIMLOCK'S DINO BROW MAKE IT LOOK LIKE HE'S MEWING!
I was crushed as a kid because all the Dinobots were sold out literally everywhere back in the day. I may have to pry open the bank account for this Grimlock though. I owe it to my 8y/o self.
Damn, nothing hits like nostalgia for those old comics!
You know, I've been thinking about buying these two and now I might be picking up Metalhawk too
Both figures look great. Shockwave's colour scheme is a vast improvement on the original Siege figure whose colours were too dark and just lacking in character. I still hold out hope to see the figure repainted in his Actionmaster colours but this version will keep me happy in the meantime.
the backwards dog walk
That ending was great 😂😂
You need the handsome as hell pup in more videos Gavin! People love dogs and so does the algorithm!
Love both these colour schemes. I wish they could have blown Shockwave up a bit so he was closer in wize to the Dinobots but that is such a nothing issue. Don't even know why I mentioned it!
cheers for this.
ive been on the fence about picking him up but now swoops out i got a hankering to collect the leader dinobots and this lad is the grimlock i want to lead em.
bit of a surprise HOW few vids theyre are of him. i know he's sold out in the states but ya can still pick him up off hasbro europe yet he's only really getting reviews of us lot outside of the US. WEIRD.
still GERAT vid man.

Oh hey Steven
I'm big into the cel-shaded look so I think we can DIFINITVILY state, that it is indeed, really cool.
I'd like more of it, give me the lads from Devastation with it. Which ones? All of them!
Are you going to cover Straxus and the comic inspired 2-pack also?
Just a couple of cartoonish coloured bad bastards, gotta love em
I'm loving these marvel themed sets. Kinda hoping Dreamwave and IDW get similar sets in the future.
Was glad to see them releasing another Shockwave I could get, as I never could get the Siege original first time round, and not for the prices they've been offering elsewhere. And one based on the comic look is very stellar, I eagerly await him to arrive.

I suppose I have to get metal hawk now
Lot of toby in this episode. Can't wait for his review.
Can we get a TRDQ of Steven and your dog Gavin?
All love to Toby!
Hose is in the I correct port in robot mode
The I Correct Port?
What? No Shattered Glass Grimlock to make a barber shop quartet? LOL I'm still wafting for his G2 navy blue iteration and/or a G2 turquoise too. Never enough Grimlocks.
I am very mildly interested in these
Anyone else catch the dog's glance begging us for answers concerning its owner's life choices?
I like the idea but the execution in terms of the packaging is a bit weak. I know we don't really do inserts anymore but those would've really made the whole book style opening front flap boxes much better. I mean once you get the figure out it's all just gonna rattle inside if you try to use it as storage again lol.
I kinda half hope they do a Cosmically Powered Starscream
No Shockwave Don't shoot Toby !
Isn't this the fourth iteration of that Grimlock mould, since Shattered Glass Grimlock uses it too?
Yep but I don't have that one
I don't suppose we can expect a Toby Review Done Quick?
Great new looks, but not great enough to make me buy the figures again, I do wish my Shockwave had this look, time to break out the old spray paint!
Yay Toby!
If you could only pick one, which one would you go for? I know Grimlock is being rereleased in SS86, but I don’t know if he’ll include those swords. I’ve never experienced either mold, both Shockwave and Grimlock.
This Grimlock for sure. I just love the colours and detailing.
@@TRDQnice. I’ve been debating on picking up one of them. I knew Grimlock was getting rereleased soon, but if this is that much of an upgrade, then I’ll go for him over Shockwave and the reissue
Not packing the swords with studio series figures which you already pay a premium on is unforgivable
Ah c'mon forgive them
@@TRDQ No!
Hello Gavin🎉
Hello Lex🎉
When will the dog do a review? 😸😻😽🐶
DOGGO!!!
Tell Steven to stop making Toby walk backwards.
TOBY!
Gav please stop making me want to buy every figure you review, it's cruel
Shockwaves a gun not a ship
Not true
Please hasbro stop selling that ahockwave at a leader price so I can finally get my hands on the mold. My collection is severel, missing a shockwave and the aftermarket price for any other versiom of this mold is just straight up nuts.
I feel like an idiot for buying a toy that's been around forever.
