The "fun" factor is becoming a more important part of what I admire about transformers. Something might look great, but if it's not fun to transform or engage with is it missing its mark?
Wow man, how did I miss this? I have the 2007 movie version of this guy, it was one of the first transformers I ever got, along with G1 Searchlight. Excellent review 👍
Cyber Keys are power-up items from TF Cybertron. The codes on the back unlocked info about the character on the Transformers website back when it was promoting Cybertron.
That figure looks cool including the black version and the one to make him look like Mr. Grumpy McGrumpypants, Huffer. Maybe one day I'll get that figure, but right now I'm just here for the entertainment.
During the comparisons, I was thinking "So basically, he's really small." Then MP10 comes in and it's like "Alright, so he's borderline microscopic." But hey, small Transformers are some of the most fun to transform sometimes due to being simple. Great review by the way.
This was one of the first toys I got at Toys R Us (I didn't get to go there too often). I didn't know he was a stand-up comedian. Now I'm going to have to dig him out of my Transformers tub.
I have this guy. He really is a cool little toy with a unique transformation. I found him in Toys 'R' Us back in the day but, had went there for something else that they were out of so, I didn't want to leave empty handed and decided to look for some good bang for the buck that would fit in my budget. When I seen him, I was like "That's a cool-looking little truck. Not 1:43 scale, nor 1:64 but, still cool." I think he was also on clearance so, I got him pretty cheap. I think that may also have been the trip when I got the Maria figure from Metropolis (good movie). They were on an endcap near the action figures aisle with other figures. I miss Toys 'R' Us a LOT. It was rare to walk out with nothing even when they were sold out of what you went there for. I did pickup some other Cybertron stuff during that series but, I need to dig through what I have to get my bots in order but, I do have the green Downshift with the Wheeljack head. He's really cool and resembles a B-Body Chrysler with some C-Body parts and a bit of Ford Torino thrown in as well.
🤑First🤑 Emgo, Shartimus Prime, Balt Matrix, Lazy Eyebrow and Cardboard Bots all uploaded a video on the same day!!! Been waiting for this for a long time.
I don't even know where it says he is a comedian. I'm just going by 2nd hand info on the Internet. I don't know what the original source of that info is.
I heard that the hook can be removed and switched to face the right way, but I don’t have this guy so I don’t know how. I do want to get him though. The smaller Legion/Legends figures are some of my favorites.
These were both amazingly cheap. It's easy to double up on stuff that doesn't cost much. I found them locally from two diffence guys. I thought about putting them both up for voting on the same video... but realized people might still chose the box.
This snarl is beautiful. These dinobots are the most bling-tastic part of what I own. They maybe the Crown Jewels so to speak. I'm not even a dinobot fan per se, but these things are beautiful. They also helped create a good variation of scale in my display.
Neither did I. I was online asking about transformations of semi-trucks, and if any transformed with the back becoming the arms. These guys were suggested the most. Getting these two guys set me back a total of $25 CDN. And I overpaid, I was just so excited. I probably could have got both for $20. It's nice not to try todo something in fashion. To just find a rough stone that's been forgotten and show people that it's actually a diamond. To me, the reason for doing the review was the unique transformation.
@@CardboardBots Hidey, being a Neutral, spent G.W. talking smack about both sides. His most popular sketch was the "Ratbat Replaces Everybody Because They're Inefficient" routine.
Great review as always. Love your stop motion. Some of the best on TH-cam. Would love to see you do some dramatic stop motion, maybe recreate a scene from the cartoon or comics. I'd vote for Snarl myself.
Thanks wind sweep. I did some short non-reviews this past summer. I don't think I'm much into creating scenes or doing long format narratives. I have an idea for on ongoing series of really short starscream jokes that woul be less thAn 10 seconds each.
Thanks! Great review! In the mid 80’s, I liked the mini bots more than many larger ones. These days, there still some mini’s that I really like - DOTM Powerglide anyone? I have just a few Cybertron toys, including some restaurant toys. I acquired an incomplete Armorhide - hope to complete soon! I know my comment is late, so I’m just hoping Slag was next…
@@CardboardBotsrry… Well there are a few more Slags since the time of your review - Power of the Primes/live-action/Studio Series ‘86/Cyberverse. I missed out on Power of the Primes - mine are bootlegs POTP Slag & Snarl. Along with G1 Grimlock/Cyberverse Sludge/TFC Star Dino Team Swoop, they’ve become my Dinobots I agree that sometime the best things come in small packages, as I loved Dark of the Moon Powerglide and Kingdom Rattrap. I just couldn’t put them down…
The Armorhide I had gotten back in the day one of his shoulder joints ended up locking up so I tried to take him back to Walmart and exchange him but they didn't have anymore so I just didn't have armorhide anymore
The mystery box is neither evil or good. Or maybe it's both. I don't know anymore. I find that it's sort of like that song by the Rolling Stones: "you don't always get what you want, but you just might find, you get what you need."
Cardboard Bots : *Mentions that Cybertron!Armorhide is a standup comedian* You're making that stuff u- *Looks up TFWiki and realize it's a part of his character bio* You're not making that stuff up...
Love the review. I got a shit ton of G1, Beast Wars, and Masterpiece, but not a single Cybetron or Energon figure. Just wasn't interested. The transformation on Armorhide is very interesting though.
Thanks, Vallco. I'm not really interested in Cybertron or Energon figures either. It was really in looking for a different truck transformation that I came across this guy. I'm more into masterpiece, 3rd party, and magic square legends stuff.
anyone recognize the comedian in the voice clips he used? I want to try to find him on TH-cam and watch the complete video so I can see the rest of the bit.
@@CardboardBots thanks man! hey, if you were a cybertronian, what would you turn into? me personally, I'd go with a beast mode of some sort. maybe something like beast wars quickstrike.
@@CardboardBots if I may ask, what do you mean by "stuck with a mini van"? I'm fairly certain that they can switch out their alt modes as easy as we could with a hat or something. course, then you'd have to ditch the van schematics, but I pretty sure you'd be wanting to do that in the first place. if want a Jeep mode, just walk up to one you like and get a scan of it. piece of cake.
Good catch, Mark! It looks like you are correct. Energon Rodimus' back end does indeed appear to transform into his arms. With th double wheels appearing on his impressive shoulders.

So true.
i had this guy as a kid! i remember him being a favorite of mine for some reason.

I have this one! I had quite forgotten that I owned it. Your review is spot-on; he is still a surprisingly fun toy even today.

@@CardboardBots Done. Wow 56% for mystery box, hehe. Please do a comparably Dinobot-sized bot for the mystery!

It's much easier on the wallet to watch toy reviews rather than buying them.
@@CardboardBots True, at least that way your wallet isn't planning your downfall in the meantime.
There's a legends class movie optimus that transforms with the chassis as the arms
Thanks, Jake. Another person also mentioned that one. That bot wasn't a very cute fella.
During the comparisons, I was thinking "So basically, he's really small." Then MP10 comes in and it's like "Alright, so he's borderline microscopic." But hey, small Transformers are some of the most fun to transform sometimes due to being simple. Great review by the way.
That's why I added the salt shaker. I needed a real world point of reference. Yep, I've found a lot enjoyment out of the small bots recently.
2:52 when you realize that there will be no MCU 2020 Ironman: 😔
I didn't even realized the connection until now. We probably won't get a Spider-Man 2099 in 2099. Not that I'd live that long anyways.
This was one of the first toys I got at Toys R Us (I didn't get to go there too often). I didn't know he was a stand-up comedian. Now I'm going to have to dig him out of my Transformers tub.

Amazing review!! Armorhide is definitely one of my favorite bots! 😉
Thanks, Norb. I think a lot of people had him because he was a good price and was easy and looked cool
Can't wait to see what is in that box
There's no garrantee that it will be chosen.
Nice job! Very interesting transformation on this guy.
Thanks. I always try to find what makes each bot unique

Thanks for putting me up there with those awesome dudes. Lazy Eyebrow starting again was a real treat for me this past couple of weeks.

Everyone’s favorite revenge bound comedian
I don't even know where it says he is a comedian. I'm just going by 2nd hand info on the Internet. I don't know what the original source of that info is.
Well I’ve got Revenge of the fallen armorhide and his bio said he was a comedian who performance hall was destroyed and he’s out for Revenge
I heard that the hook can be removed and switched to face the right way, but I don’t have this guy so I don’t know how.
I do want to get him though. The smaller Legion/Legends figures are some of my favorites.
Yes, the hook at the end of the arm can be detached and reattached in the reverse direction.
Small bots have a very special charm all their own.
Lol love the joke with the 'Tips' and great job as usual! (Liked the inclusion of a battle droid.)
Cant wait for the next review.
(Well be back...)
Thanks, Zeon. Make sure to vote in the poll too. Maybe your choice will win.
Indeed, I vote with the majority or my favorites. Anywho, looks like we will get another mini bot from the mystery box...
Eat your head out, Fluffy! Armor hide is the best comedian this age has ever seen
I'm glad he has a fan
You know it!
I had no prior of this figure, and yeah man, that is a fascinating transformation
Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh wish I could double like for the end skit haha
I'm getting strong grimlock vibes for the mystery box btw, I voted for snarl, but I guess we'll see what's in the box haha
These were both amazingly cheap. It's easy to double up on stuff that doesn't cost much. I found them locally from two diffence guys. I thought about putting them both up for voting on the same video... but realized people might still chose the box.
