I'm back to using my DSLR setup with dragonframe, and I think I'm starting to get the hang of the camera settings. Comparing these shots to the Omega Supreme ones and especially the Astrotrain ones it's like night and day. let me know what you think!
(excuse the dust spots though. I didn't notice them until after I started editing. I need to save up some coin to send the lens off to be dismantled and factory cleaned as it was used and the inside of it is filthy)
Please do Cliffjumper and Optimus Prime.
I want to see your custom Prime trailer clash with the Earthrise trailer.
I want to see a review on earthrise
Wheeljack
Well, to be fair, my phone only plays 720, so... didn't notice the dust....
Dude you should totally review mp hound it seems like it's right up your alley
*Fun Fact about Earthrise Grapple:* The back of his thighs features molded in caution stripes which are a direct homage to the infamous error on Grapple's animation model. I'll refer you to Chris McFeely's The Art of the Transformers - Episode 4 to understand the full story.
I don't see anything
@@devynsmith5280 because they are molded in. They are on the back outer side of Grapple Thighs.
@@astromotive6047 I still don't see them. maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. and I know it's molded in
@@devynsmith5280 I didn't notice it at first either since it isn't picked out in paint. Look at Grapple's thighs from the side, you should see a subtle diagonal pattern towards the back.
@@astromotive6047 From that position, it sounds like it's just molded detail for vehicle mode
"But again, this is something *I* find important."
Don't apologize for that, sir. This is YOUR review, you talk about what YOU think is important.
I'm glad you had so much fun doing this. When you're having fun, WE'RE having fun. :)
Nice seeing you here Bob
The Lazy Eyebrow: 12:08 "they can help Ratchet with whatever project he has going on "
Wheeljack: Am I a joke to you (by the way great video keep up the good work man)
Dalton Bailey I guess he didn’t find his Ratchet figure in time 😅🤷♂️....
@@kaylemathewcomendador6964 i think he does
Faveritwand 176 He either misplaced Ratchet when it was time to do the animation or he somehow got them mixed up. I’m practically spitballing at this point 🤷♂️.....
@@kaylemathewcomendador6964 I think hes goffin
I think it’s a reference to one of his overdose skits
“Dangle Corpses above the ground”
That killed me and left me dangling 10 feet high by a yellow crane truck.
Also... wat
17:14 Grapple has 3 accessories,the silver hose nozzle on the crane arm can come off and plug into his hands like the g1 toy
Wait WHAT?! I spent all this time with the thing and I'm JUST NOW hearing about this?!
Was about to say the same thing haha
@@pixelman6193 me too
@@TheLazyEyebrow *JJJ laughter* you serious? 😑
I thought it was a bit strange that he used six-gun’s missile for the little teapot
I have both of these guys.
That opening skit has just convinced me more that they are partners like Jazz and Cliffjumper in Fall of Cybertron.
So I thank you. *I thank you.*
When he said that "we will be back after these messeges" two ads played to me. Funniest thing ive ever seen!
MP Herbie looks cute
@Finn The Diamond knight you mean..........MP HerBEE
@@gigansattemptatdoingstuff4389 no herbie
Jadon Lemons @ r/swooosh
its just bumblebee painted in jazz colours
So true
I'm blown away by your passion and the sheer amount of jokes in this two for one video.
Cardboard Bots This is so far a magnum opus.
I love this channel for so many reason but also because it is drenched with talent
@@Snittyguy I really appreciate that
Oh so Hoist is the ultimate nightmare to Top Gear were his truck mode will never die and then he’ll transformer and scorn them for damage his body or at least try to?
Dude, you most definatly have a talent! I love your animations and reviews! Cannot believe you aren't doing this professionally. Really enjoyed this man! Thanks for this!
Professionally is the dream. with the self quarantine I'm cranking out a few more than the norm, but if it gets to a self sustaining point I'll be doing this full time (I hope)
Love the jump cut to Commercial you used from Generation One! It's so nostalgic for me!
I'm converting ER Trail Breaker into a Legacy style animated Ratchet and, 100% agree, great figures
I am proud to say that Hoist is my spirit animal
Mine to
That bit where Hoist throws Grapple was fantastic. Comedic and incredibly well animated. I don't know if that's says something about the articulation of the figures or your skill as an animator. Great job!
I concur
Maybe both!
16:19, as a trombone player, this makes me happy. He even got the positions correct.
You can tell how much fun he had with grapple just with the way how he transforms in the last bit
I don’t normally comment on TH-cam videos but that was by far my favorite transformers review ever. Great mix of comedy, animation and review content. Keep up the good work!
I love how hoist just sits there as Grapple argues with lazy, lol
Thank you for putting your incorporateing your ads in the review at logical spots. You even had the messages before and after the ads. I hate ads with a passion but you put them in a place where they don't detract from your content. Again thank you for taking the extra time to make this happen.
You're welcome! Going forward I'm thinking of doing this for reviews longer than 13 mins. Anything shorter than that would just be obnoxious imo
Grapple is among the few ER figures I'm thinking of getting for sure for how fun he looks especially if he repainted into Hauler for Selects. Also I do relate to how one would want to see the characters they grew up with or at least grew to love later on as they're depicted on a show as much as possible given as someone who grew up with BW I get told by some people on how there's no need to revist them for Generations since they're good enough as they are in the original BW line despite the fact on how both T30 and the MP BW figures have proven otherwise. So it's nice to see your favorite characters get this treatment at the end.
16:23 It's not a Trumpet what you said in the closed captions, That is actually a TROMBONE that goes back and forth.
@@thomassoniccarsfan1220 ha. I didn't even know he wrote that. All my captions were done by a user by the name of StunnaStream
I used to play trombone for 5 years
@@TheLazyEyebrow nice I play Tuba.
The quality the creativity I’m just amazed easily the best transformers review I’ve seen.
You have DEFINITELY improved, if that's even possible. Every single skit, joke and gag had me in tears. These two are so great together, and you really captured the feeling of them as a team. That opening skit with the crane game from Kirby's Adventure really hit me because I did a Let's Play of that game on my own TH-cam channel a while ago, and I remembered hating that mini-game. XD
Yet another great review from you, Lazy. I hope your future reviews fill you with as much enjoyment as they do for us. I'm so excited to see what's next! Hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy with the virus going around. And once again, I'm so happy that you're back to making reviews!
Ok your skits in the review had me cracking up! Especially the 'it wasn't me' part. So Happy you're back man!
So entertaining dude! I love Hoist and Grapple too! Thanks for the good laugh!
I just bought most of the Earthrise figs to display.
I absolutely enjoy the gags and jokes you use in these reviews
I had a bad day at work. Saw you had this posted, you got me to laugh. Can see you like these figures a lot. It'll be a while before I even see these in my stores...so back to messing around with Legos.
So glad to have a new review. Your videos are always really good. The comedy and attention to detail is just amazing.
As soon as the we will return after these messages thing started i got an ad and I burst out laughing
Me too
Nice review. Always a pleasure to watch your work. If you have T30's Hoist you can remove the hook from his tow rod and attach it to the rear little peg at the end of his towing harness.
I have never been happier to see an ad show up in the entirety of my TH-cam career.
You are hands down the best transformers animator I hav ever seen and I love all these mini skits
Oh my God, your collection, oh my god!
Your reviews are ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS by the way!
My guy that animation when Hoist threw Grapple just… MMMMPH!
Spot on perfect!
I can see why you’re regarded as a good stop motion animator!
haha thank you
Under appreciated TH-camr. Thank you so much for the amount of work you put in these videos. Please keep up the great work.
I wish he had easier access to more of the SS 86 and WFC line and wasn't so hard to get for him.This has got to be my favorite Transformer review channel.
ER Grapple and Kingdom Inferno have the same shoulder hinge thing as Kingdom Cyclonus. Honestly, that is so cool!
watched your review and became in love with this. this was my first earthrise figure! opened it up, Transformed it a few times and the 5mm pegs that tab into the feet in the crane mode snapped off.
R I P My Grapple
Dude you are crushing it! I love the humor and stop motion. Some pretty cool paint mods too.
This is your funniest one yet. Glad you're back, dood. And yeah Earthrise is killing it!
Great to see you back reviewing. Excellent stop motion and Grapple tapping Hoist on the shoulder was very funny. Along with, "suspending a corpse above the ground".
Personally, I can't get past the small size of Grapple. I base my entire collection on vehicle scale which has been difficult on occasion but always rewarding so I'm happy with Masterpiece Grapple along with CHUG Grapple as Hauler.
Hoist looks fantastic and I'll definitely pick him up though I'll never part with the G1 toy which has a timeless quality.
Again, great review. I look forward to your next video.
I really love aftsr seeing "after these messages" a ad popped up, such a perfect timing
Me : 2020 is gonna by my year, I'm gonna stop collecting transformers and save some money
Lazy eyebrow reviewer : Hold my HO scale train set.
Me too dude
I’m glad that you feel that scale is important. The whole giant car robot thing kinda loses its flare when you can’t tell what size they’re supposed to be
Duuuuuuude! You're back! This is awesome!! Love your humor and stop motion as always!
The Lazy EyeBrow review, the only review brave enough to mod his figures. So brave
If this isn’t the most perfect and funniest review I’ve ever seen I don’t know what is.
Nice review lazy eyebrow reviewer man I can't wait to get hoist and grapple because they look so good together
Wasn’t going to buy Grapple until this video. Great and entertaining review!
I loved Grapple and Hoist’s staring episode in G1, seeing these two both coming out in style is an absolute treat.
Amazing review, absolutely love your review style with the stop motion animations! Really creative and fun!
been a couple of months since I watched your vids and this vid definitely put a smile on my face. those skits really crack me up especially the one around 16:52. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
8:24 did hoist just drag omega Supreme
Omega: "movement: impossible. Confusion: immense"
He was on steroids
That was the smoothest ad break I've ever seen
These Earthrise figures sure are a beauty. They really are practically mini Masterpiece figures.
And nice entertaining review 👍. I really want to get some of these figures sometime.
19:20
"What's really special is below the waist."
Uh, phrasing?
Boom
Boom
We both know that’s intentional.
i love how the will be right back after these messages thing was timed perfectly with the add LMAO
I like it when the ads pop up like actually ads like this is a tv show instead of just shoved at the beginning or the end
Or interrupting someone mid sente- RAID SHADOW LEGENDS IS A GAME THAT EXISTS - tence
9:21 Very cute mp Herbie, I 100% support this mod, it's a good idea Hasbro would never try out
Grapples hook _can_ actually hold stuff, specifically A.I.R. system stuff like parts of Ironworks, the shield battlemasters, ER Primes trailer door shield, _and that part of Hoist you bloody talked about right after_
The system is actually quite fun but I watched Dr.Lockdowns review of earthrise Astrotrain and the platform looked a bit floppy. I still have some hope in this system tho.
10:24 that was really well thought out!
Great video and I was a kid of the 80's myself and Yes I agree these new earthrise figures, I have both of these guys and wheeljack and cliffjumper and leader class astrotrain which I just picked up yesterday at Walmart here in Ancaster Ontario Canada. They look great which I'm going to keep them in the package.
I don't know a single bit about transformers but Im gonna binge this content.
Siege Jetfire is always just a laugh to see because he just dominates every frame he's in. I fuckin love him
Grapples made me want Hoist, impressive figure, love it
You had me with the giraffe especially. Amazing work as always man 😁
Haha glad you enjoyed
I initially thought Hoist looked garish with that colour scheme. I gave him a shot and he's really grown on me
I LOVE earthrise line. Its like they took the originals, and made them as cool, as my memory of them.
I don't really know much about these two but I love your videos. Keep up the good work!
15:44 that silver piece can be removed and put on either of his hands. But fold the hands in first then put the silver thing on.
14:20 General Rule of Thumb:
You Steal Ironhide’s Girl - You Face Ironhide’s Fury
15:51 there is a little silver piece on the back of the Grapple that you didn’t see right.
It is removed to form a megaman cannon just like the Trailbreaker and Inferno had!
Joe has forever made me think of Hoist as scottish...but your voice acting is still awesome! This review also seems suspiciously a lot better than the previous ones...
The chrome accents you added on Grapple look great. Definitly helps break up the orange color. Going to do the same on my Grapple.
Scale differences bothered me when I was six years old in 1983. I totally agree with you.
Awesome review and funny content! They look great animated.
I'll never not get tired of MP-10's almost perfect transformation in the commercial, even with the slick edits. I don't think any of the other Primes (including 44) can match that.
19:00 honestly hilarious. Such subtle but impactful comedy
I got hoist today, what a great toy. Also got cliffjumper, love the boat mode
i like how an ad played just as it said they would be back after the messages
This was so great. Been loving your channel.
Bruh there was an ad perfectly placed after the commercial break and I come back to hear it say, "we now return to the transformers"
Got grapple and hoist on the way,they were listed together online for $49.99.They we're two of the first I owned around 84/85 and from what I've seen and heard earthrise grapple is a lot like g1 grapple so I hope it brings back some 35 yr old memories.
Great video. But, all I care about now, is the Herbie. LET ME HAVE IT!
Keep up the amazing job. I didn’t even want Grapple until I saw this video. I wish they had used better quality plastics on the Siege and Earthrise figures.
I think you called Grapple, Hoist in your "transformation" segment. That being said, these two Transformers look great! So much like the "original" 80's animated series(nice touches you added on their vehicle modes).
There's such a great doofy charm to most of the Generation One designs, and where there isn't, the designs are either instantly iconic or badass/noble/evil.
Have fun with the silver piece on the side of the crane arm on Grapple, got to love accesories hidden in plain sight
I didn’t realize the knees and shins had too be the same length in order to kneel. I also like that animation of a line of grapples walking.
Great review dude! I just recently got them both myself and I’m very pleased. I do have the same nitpick about Hoist’s arm panels but it doesn’t break the figure for me at all but if I did have to choose between, I think Grapple wins. I do have the previous HuntForDecepticons Grapple you showed and while its size is better for vehicle mode to do some scaling, I do think Earthrise robot mode is astounding. Really pops with that orange too when thrown in with the other Siege/Earthrise
Love the part grapples trombone crane! I play Trombone so it gave me quite a chuckle! 😆 love the giraffe too! good stuff! Love the animations!
I really enjoyed this video , I love the quality to ! Keep up the amazing work man
I see that Grapple has adapted well to Earth. He has an appreciation for “Seven Nation Army” by the White Stripes. 🤘🏻
I see Grapple can be cruel, picking on Bumblebee. Everyone has a dark side, I suppose. 🤔
Great review LER! I like this Grapple, but I think I'll wait and see if there's a 3P Oversized one coming along. This version is just too small. Like you, the scale drives me nuts. Anyway, since you started doing the vids again, you've been knocking out of the park!
I can't believe how funny this was! Very Good!
Lazy eyebrow, I got to say, you really overcame yourself in those skits, they are the funniest I ever seen
(Also: please, please, PLEASE make a remake of that trumpet boy meme, it would be sooo funy)
TY 😁
BEYOND AMAZINGLY OUTSTANDING VIDEO REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D My favorite part was Grapple missing the memo about transformation. :D Keep on being fantastic The Lazy Eyebrow, Double Thumbs Up. ;D
16:22, 16:41, 16:59...hilarious! You have me all teared up from laughter! Now I have GOT to get Grapple!
