Bobby, you did a good job representing James. Those uh-oh's made me feel like James was actually there saying it. Jajaja
Funny thing is that it felt that way as well.
Bobby you killed it solo bro! With that being said James, my guy, you were sorely missed. Hope you can make it back soon bro and hope all is well. Thanks guys!
Thank you. James should be back soon
And all in as well for Mecha Invasion Giant Legion. This will be my first & likely only Devastator. Been waiting a long time for the right one & this looks to be it. 🙏🏼 🙌🏼
Good choice. Not G1 but definitely a good alternative.
@@botvscon yeah but G1 inspired enough, least for me. I kinda like the creative license taken, yet still keeping the vibe, spirit of the original. At first I wasn’t sure about it, but it really grew on me, and now loving what I’m seeing.
The price is great as well
@@botvscon most definitely
James, hoping everything is good and you will be back real soon. Bobby, you did a great job going solo.
Thank you. He should be back soon.
Great job Bobby and appreciate you holding down the Fort. Take care James and wishing you well
Thank you. He will be back soon
Apart from the Gregg Berger bit, obviously 😂
Yeah that was supposed to be edited out.
Great job Bobby, you killed it! Screen mode James was pretty funny too 😆
Thanks. We didn't want to miss out on sharing the news.
16:20 The Bigfirebird Build on the left, in my head, the figure could be a Wrecker, with his left/right arm being totally dedicated to being a sniper cannon (not a sniper rifle but a sniper cannon; let's go with big here).
29:32 I'm getting that Jazz.
That would have been interesting. The jazz is beautiful.
Bobby great job and yes your back ground is definitely looking large 😂
Thank you. I never notice it because we are usually on a split screen.
And great job going solo Bot / Bobby - thanks for the episode.
Thank you and you are very welcome
God bless, James. Great show, Bobby. I'm loving that Jazz and Slag. Still holding out hope for Metroplex
You and me both about Metroplex. Not sure if and when it will happen
I ended up selling my Cang Toys Stegsarow and decided to wait for the repaint/shattered glass version of the dinobots. I wasn't thrilled how much the paint details have changed since they first released the prototype shots. Plus I really love my Shattered Glass Cang Toys Predaking. Great job Bobby! I hardly missed James' snarky comments! lol
That was a bold move selling that one, I'm curious to see the SG version though! Thanks
Wow. Bobby watching InitialD! Much respect! That's my childhood right there. Now I'm off to play 'Night of Fire' on an endless loop.
On season 2 now. It's pretty good
Great show well wishes to James and family
Thank you. He will be back soon
Great job holding it down Bobby
Thank you
Bobby you are in for a treat with regards to the anime. Lol😊
I just finished season 1 and it's good
Bobby, if you need a wingman, I'm here for you. lol
Thanks for getting the show out, in James's absence.
Haha. We will have to see how long James is out.
You are welcome
Just love you guys! Keep up with everything you’re doing. James I hope you get well soon or I can come back healthy and ready to go. God bless and hope you all have a merry Christmas!❤
Thank you, you too. We really appreciate the support.
I'm new to the Channel, love the content! instant subscribe!!
Thank you very much. We appreciate it
Great episode, first time for me not seeing James with you Bobby but you did an excellent job holding down the fort. I hope everything's fine with James and his family wish him the best, and hope everything else is good for you as well and wishing you the best.
Thank you very much. He will be back soon.
Definitely looking forward to more CT Dinos!
You're in for a wild ride with Inital D, maybe you'll have more appreciation for 90's JDM cars after watching!
I love 90s cars. I had an 96 Eclipse that I raced a bit. Well at least all the speeding tickets I received felt like I was racing.
It is good so far.
Hey, I feel called out about that Golden comment. lol
But in all seriousness I'm glad that seeker wasn't a golden lagoon deco, because when I first heard the name earlier today, I almost felt obligated to buy it.
I'm disappointed in this one. The black one that came out last gave me hope for new colors outside of what we've been getting. Oh well Blond Drizzle, Gold Sprinkle, or Yellow Downpour are the names in working on
@@botvscon BAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I almost want that cangtoys slug in that Silver color. I think out of this Dino set, this is the one I want the most.
So far I'm there with you. It looks so good
Thanks for holding it down Bobby!! Hopefully everything will be alright with James.. that bingotoys jazz will be mineeeee!
You are welcome. James will be back soon. Jazz is beautiful.
Man I can't wait for Kang Dinobots to come out. Already have all the previous versions of Predaking... Must buy once they're available for purchase.
I agree with you. The Cang bots are beautiful
It's Solarflare reissued. Exactly the same color pallet save the nose cone. Solarflares was white. This guy It's the same shade of yellow as the rest of him. Also matches the color pallet of MP-11 Sunstorm.
I missed out on Solarflare so I bought him. Obviously if you already have Solarflare then you don't need this version of Sunstorm.
Very slight differences but like you, I missed it on Solarflare
Great show! Bot, you did a great job keeping things going in James‘s absence. I hope all is well with him. These 4-foot Metroplex updates are killing me! I hope they are getting tons of crap for withholding the details on the final price! That Overlord figure is supposed to be for army building. Apparently, Overlord was cloned by the Quintessons (in the comics, I think). I’d only consider army building if I found a bunch of them at Ross.
Thank you. He will be back soon.
I don't know the Overload back story. Who knows, maybe Hasbro will release it in the new line and we can see where the lineage comes from.
at 3:49 - I like that it looks much, much closer to the animation color scheme. I'd honestly rather the Earthrise transformation way of leaving out the tailfins. I don't need everything to fold away. I do like the cleaner look in comparison to Earthrise, which has more greebly texture than the G1 figures had, I just wish it had paint/texture of the G1 stickers to up the detail just a little.
You can leave out the tailfins if you like. I haven't tried to work any of mine but I think it is possible.
Bobby bought gonna get the all hahaha
I'm trying to work on my budget which happens after I buy everything I want
On the train bots, I think he was meaning that they are in scale with blockies or Dr. Wu
I'm picking them up. They look good
I have the TransArt Silverbolt on the way & I appreciate the shinny metallic paint TransArt uses for the trans metal BeastWars figures because they are as the source material is...I don't do to much transformation with any figures so I'm not too worried about the warnings of breakage...this video was different with Bobby going solo & I hope everything works out for James...oh, since i dont know if this is the last video b4 the holiday so, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!
There will be a couple of videos still too come but Merry early Christmas to you. I hope I didn't disappoint without James. Let us know how the Silverbolt is when you get it.
Wow, James has to tempt Bobby to buy something? Easiest Con mission ever.......lol
That is an unhealthy color on "Golden Swarm"..... clearly needs more water in his diet.
In the Leaks, that was a typo. They're not "Swapiticons", it was supposed to read Swap-meet-ticons.......
Still think the Star Wars crossover would have been cooler if it was more in the Micro Galaxy squadron scale, but for what it is, not bad.
Interesting episode of Bot vs Wallet........😊
Well wishes and prayers to James
Haha. Bot vs Wallet. I was thinking the same thing when I heard swapticons. Not impressed so far.
So i look at that maketoys Golden Shower and i think that looks familiar... So i check my shelf and there it is, that's MTRM CF01 Solar Flare reissued. It's identical, even the hue of yellow colored plastic seems the same. Just when you thought maketoys couldn't get any lazier they piss on their customers by re releasing a crowdfund under a different name
You are 99% correct. So far I've spotted 2 differences. Right on the upper wrong but the tip, the red stripes is different and the peg for the null rays are a different color. Still a damn shame 🤦🏾♂️
@botvscon good eye, had not spotted those. I would say I'm 99,5% right then 😉 . Technically (for me at least) it's still the same figure though.
Goog job going solo Bobby. James hope all is well even when your not their you still got to pick on Bobby.
Thank you. He is always trying to get a rise out of me.
James, I hope you and your family are going to be good and all will be well again. Best wishes and talk soon.
Thank you!
You did fine by yourself🎉
Thank you
I've passed on the cang toys dinos, but my bank account is hoping they don't do a repaint like the newage Shatter Glass colour scheme!
I don't think they will do the SG theme of Newage but I can almost be certain they will do something that is going to hurt my pockets in the future with a different color
Acid Storm, Sunstorm . . . MakeToys should have honored the 'storm' theme and called it "GOLDEN SHOWER," then just feign ignorance in the aftermath. 😐
So true
Sorry it's so late watching this video but Mr James I hope everything is fine or going to be, and Mr Bobby I'm only 5 minutes into it and you're doing a great job don't feel insecure just because you're one of one right now❤😂!
Thank you for that. James is fine and should be back soon.
Well they told me (tf source)that the next seeker would be a cone head.but that being said I could this version of sunstorm though
I was looking for a Seeker but maybe that's the 2025 agenda
This would have been a good livestream because you were by yourself
It wasn't fully planned but her maybe something I'll do next time
Need a guest co host to fill the empty chair?
Haha. We've had a few people offer there services.
That's weird that it turns into Megatron because am I not mistaking Megatron only controlled the stunticons 🤔 why would he be in a Devy set?
You are correct about the Stunticons. They showed that the Constructions built Megatron on one episode and them on a different episode, the constructicons were built by the Decepticons and Megs. So maybe they are referencing the connecting of Megs to the three team.
@botvscon that's what I was thinking like in between the first and second season but Mr bot, you did a great job. Matter of fact you had me rolling at some points 🤣
Thank you. I try lol
Did MMC ever do the stunticons?
No, not that I'm aware of
Just get the ko rotb Optimus. It has a bunch of accessories
I think James got the nemesis version and likes it
Jesus Christmas. Why does it feel like everyone at Maketoys is getting a divorce. It seems like they're trying to pay off alimony with these seekers. I wouldn't be surprised if either Fanstoys or XTB beats them in completing the Headmasters and Targetmasters at this point.
Lol. Xtransbots is already working on a Misfire. We saw the Highbrow in person and it looks good. They just wasted any advantage they had to be first with the headmasters
@@botvscon That MAAS toys collab may have really hurt them, and the Cross Dimension and some ReMaster figures underperforming could be another factor as to why we're getting all of these repaints of an antiquated mold instead of the new Head and Targetmasters.
My hope the re-release G1 Breakdown along with G2
It probably will get a re-release at some point. Just no telling when of course.
@@botvscon Your guess is as good as mine. Knowing Hasbro it will be a long wait, and with all the layoffs. Hasbro is doing, going to be even longer wait. I guess, it will have to be EBay and the Scalpers
The Jazz looks amazing but that transformation does not look fun.
It doesn't look like it will be at all.
“Swapticons” sounds kinda cool (in theory) but the actual product will prob be garbage…. Just saiyan
Being from California, all I think of is swap meet which is nothing but KO quality. Hope I'm wrong
Whoa where is James the con?
He's taking care of some family matters but he is ok
Only interested in the new devastator
Which one? Mecha invasion or DreamStar
I hate when Hasbro tamps those big faction symbols on the toys. They stick with the same symbols too, never doing cartoonish faction symbols. If you want an Overcharge get the ehobby g1 reissue. If my newage g2 and EX snarl would get here before Christmas, that would be nice. Many blessing to any trans fan reading this, I hope you an abundant 2025.
Wishing you many blessings as well. You have to pick up 3rd party stickers for different looks. It would be nice if there were options
Overcharge / Blitzwing is crap. It’s an insult Ha$bro keeps redecoing / using this mold. I love the concept of the figure, yet the implementation is shit. And they’re slave to $$$ so here we are. Is there a 3rd party doing this yet? Because we need you.
I haven't seen another company attempt Overcharge but there are a few options out there for Blitzwing. It sucks that Hasbro has slipped with some of their figures over the last few years.
@ honestly, they’re reminding me of any other corporation that starts cutting corners and doing whatever it takes to maintain a specific profit margin. I don’t know if most fans know that Hasbro is a publicly traded company, which is the kiss of death when it comes to producing a quality product or at least a consistent one. That’s because they’re beholden to the stockholders and Wall Street. If they were a privately held company, it’d be a whole different ball game on all levels. I know all too well how this game works unfortunately as both working within and outside of this Wall Street game. It sucks.
