@@fduranthesee Was prolly cool?!? And what's that about G1ers?!? Thought you knew G1 will always be where it's at! 😉 There will always be more g1 fans than whatever it is you are 💯
This was an incredibly informative review. Loved all the history and backstory and tie-in regarding the cartoon and the differences between the comic. Fantastic job!
The UK comic did get the correct version of the end of issue 4. However we also got a reprint of all the first four issues in a hard cover format that used the original happy ending to make it feel more like a complete story.
I bought comics grimlock, mostly cause of the painjob and the fact that my last grimlock was the voyager from foc. pretty good paintjobs from that line imo.
Thanks again for another in-depth review. Really dig the box, and I’m sure this would make a great addition to any Transformers collection (especially for fans of the comics). Sucks Prime’s optic scanners weren’t painted on.
Really enjoyed this review, and hopefully, I can get this figure set! I still have my Marvel Comics Transformers series in my collection, but missing 2 issues toward the end of the run, where some punk at the comic shop who didn't even buy the series, decided to swipe the book when the dealer was sorting out the orders for his customers, and I got stuck without them... I've been planning to do a display with my actual comic #5, and the Siege Shockwave in that pose, but the Optimus head and display unit, are some great additions to the set! I'm not a fan of the comic shading on the figure, but I guess it could be a throwback to the tar pit that Shockwave and the Dinobots ended up fighting in 🤔 when they were sent after him initially... seems like anyway... haven't read them in a few years.😅
Does the Optimus Prime head have a ball joint that could be put on a body? That head on the Earthrise or even the 86 Optimus whenever that comes out could look really cool.
Nice review - I'll check out your other videos. One thing to say, we DID get the original ending to US #4 in the UK comics (it was in #8 for us as the issues were split in two).
so you are telling me if i carry Shockwave down the street Police will shoot me ? = so they made it in to a..... WTF is it anyway? Cancelled mine - these new toys are just crap .
What I'm saying is that toy companies are being very cautious in making toys that could be mistaken for actual weapons. Unlikely you'd be shot during the day, but if you carried it around at night it could happy. A kid with a laser tag gun was shot, I believe.
gun toy regulations aren't the fault of Hasbro, check where they sell their toys and what the laws regarding toy guns are, the place where it's the strictest, is the one to blame, most likely. besides, there's always 3rd party if you really want a gun version.
I’m sorry about your friend Toy Spotlite, we pray he is having a peaceful rest in Heaven
He is probably looking down and complaining that Shockwave isn't a gun. Lol
@@ToySpotlite your friend was prolly cool, no sweat, but goddamn I can't stand G1'ers

I would buy him beacause ...... not explanation needed....I mean look mine name nice review man!
I love your videos especially when you narrate the comics! :)
It feels like ages since I put in that Hasbro Pulse preorder last winter. So happy to finally have it.

Issue number 5 was the only Transformers comic I ever owned as a kid. Really wish I hadn't destroyed it throwing a 6 year old temper-tantrum.
I don't recall seeing Shockwave having the Decepticon logo in any G1 cartoon episodes or even in the '86 movie.
They were on each forearm
He was such a bad ass in the comic
I love that the Optimus head can pop onto the Earthrise or Siege figure. It's such a rad touch.

The designers said its made to fit the earthrise and siege figures
Love the Geoff Senior styled head. Eyes could have been a smidge bigger but the shapes are otherwise great
Nice editing
Thanks?
That is a nice box
Great review, as always, Captain. Where can i get the shirt that you're wearing?
The shirt is here: amzn.to/467fKrA
@@ToySpotlite thank you!
Yeah COME ON HASBRO...Unicon G1 Prototype with lights, sounds & voice changer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is that the ss86 head?
I’m starting to regret not getting this one. It’s the Siege mild I’m not a fan of.
just wait a few months, you'll probs get a reissue for 86.
@@isuckatusernames4297 I’d still want the Marvel Comics version.

I would love to see the original ending. I used to have a lot of the magazine sized Transformers UK comics, but think I sold them.

It aint news that hasbro doesnt make transformers that turn into guns anymore, last mainline figure of shockwave that was a gun came out in 1985
