It makes sense! He's a badass. He blows up seekers with massive grenades, stopped an intergalactic war and the Quintesson's from profiteering from further wars.
I did too, mostly because I had him as a kid, but not Brawn, so I had to hype him up in my imagination as far more prominent than he really was in the cartoon. Same with Swerve vs Gears.
Nice review Bobby and congrats on the new Puppy! Megatron’s fusion cannon is unrelated to Outback. Brawn famously used it on Megatron during the Fire on the Mountain episode. Brawn “Now that was a Kick!” Since Outback was a pretty obscure character, I am pretty sure Fans Toys included the fusion cannon accessory with this to entice those on the fence about purchasing this to pull the trigger and buy it to complete the package for Brawn.
I've seen other reviewers do this figure, seems the head problems is across the board. Sucks. I'm always amazed when something that's supposed to be masterpiece has these kinds of simple problems. Really sucks
Totally off topic, but I also have that Darth Toothpick..... although, wow, I did not pay US$200! Anyway, the issue with mine is that the hand needs to be tight to pull the toothpick out... so to speak! But this means that you need to give it a bit more force when you pull the level to lodge the toothpick in the hand with the swing in the first place. Its not consistent, but it works about 50% of the time with the right amount of power behind it.
Not super excited about this one, but i Ordered him along with Hannibal, it is amazing to me that this dry spell almost lines up completely with the video game dry spell of summer. Almost 4 months of nothing semi-irresponsible to throw my money at.
The head kiiiinda has a swivel. I took mine apart and there is a screw holding the neck post to the collar. It can be loosened, but even afterwards there's not much room to turn.
Always a fun review Bobby! Except u dint do this and u dint do dat...lolz! And I agree, I want to see the toothpick redemption video also. U coming to Botcon this week?!? I wouldn't mind seeing u again and buying another rad blanket!!
As someone who also has a new puppy, I don't envy you having to potty train your dog. We went through that and she's finally learned but it seemed to take forever...and I'm impatient and hate it when animals do their business in my house! Cool review BTW
I thought he had blue windows? Maybe that was a preproduction... these look great. I don't know why I want these minis (or at least that's what I call them) Pretty much my collection ends right up to Unicron. But I feel the need to pick up a few others... Predaking/Skylinx and these small bots. Perhaps because he isn't as near and dear I'm ok with the lack of detail in vehicle mode? But you are absolutely correct, a bit bland and surprised they didn't get him to pop a bit more. Great review!
Yeah, I'm sticking with the BadCube. And I don't even think it's FansToys' fault. I just think the cartoon's character design is bad on this one on a basic level.
I always enjoy your video and incite into figures. I know with Fanstoys being one of your favorite or more reliable company's do you think they will ever make a Starsaber figure? I have been collection his figure from a few of the third party company's and from hasbro and was just wondering if you think they might get around to it? Great video as always looking forward to your next build video and seeing where you put this guy on the shelf.
Certainly not a character that is nom most peoples radar to get in figure form. A good use of the hunk mould well remoulded with unique details familiar T the character. My connection to this Outback was he was one of only three mini bots I had as a kid, so I have ordered him. Agreed the paint sculpt presence of the figure shine through but it lacks the articulation but so does hunk so I’m not surprised, though the articulation of the head just sucks, hopefully with a turn of the screw it will loosen for more articulation. I’m also not a fan of the line gap in the shins it’s more present on Aussies I think due to the light brown paint compared to hunk, the green paint hides the gap line better. Good accessories though a little limited maybe another face plate sculpt but the Megatron gun will be shouldered by Hunk for display.. Let’s hope with new mould figure on the way articulation is improved. Good review all round. Cheers Bobby.
Good review. I think it's a fair accessment of the figure. I feel the headsculpt is kind of a miss for this figure. I dunno, it just seems off to me more than I would expect. I assumed the Cannon is for their version of Brawn as I don't remember Outback actually handling Megatron's cannon. When you compared the FT with the BC one, the BC one color looks so much different. I can't tell if that's the lighting or if there really is that much of a difference in hue? I almost choked when you said the price tag of the Vader Toothpick dispenser. Please tell me he did not spend $200 on that! I thought it was $50 max from what I found. Are you going to do a versus against the Bad Cube version? Curious since you did one with the Brawn figure I think. Looking forward to the next bunch of figures Robert D buys you get to review...lol. Congrats on the new puppy. Super Adorable! ❤
Yeah boi💯😂🤘🏽 I was just seeing this toy about a half hour... I rather buy it from your friend and the heck wit bigbadtoy store... 😂 But don't quote me on this!!! 💯🤘🏽😂🤔👽😳😳😳😳😳
Stop doing satan's horns. Unless you want to end up in hell with the deciever satan in hell after passing away. Denounce satan and willingly accept God=Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior while there is time. As hell deserving wrongdoers we all are we must do so.
Surely they could’ve picked a more appealing shade of brown? Maybe like a shade lighter or a bit more reddish? The colors on this just do not look good.
I feel like this figure is getting a few passes on what would be real issues with other companies. Like lukewarm criticism of this figure, but with other companies would be more pronounced issues. Also, other companies have given more decent articulation for figures of this scale/size. Maybe I'm wrong, but this seemed like flaccid criticism of a bot costing over $100. Alt mode looks great, the colors are a bit subjective, but the overall figure is fine. The floppiness and price aren't enough for me to warrant swapping out my BC. Love seeing the pup, and someone needs to talk to Robert D about making better financial choices, lol!
You want the paint, and then you're wondering and complaining about the paint scratching? Wow. :) Plastic already molded in a certain color so it requires no painting (that you hate so much) = 101% no paint scratching ;)
I just don't care for this mould. I think it's one of FansToys' most half-assed designs. I think the Outback version looks better, and I really wanted to like it, but it doesn't look great, especially as a vehicle. Either way, I hope someone else makes Brawn and Outback, because these are disappointing. Paint chipping is a serious issue with FansToys, especially recently, and the vehicles have got pretty half-assed too. It doesn't make me comfortable buying their products when every single one I get has paint chipping out of the box, let alone after doing anything with it. Their customer support has gone from good to almost non-existent, which just makes things worse.
OMG Bobby, baby girl is absolutely GORGEOUS! Is she a PitBully? "half pit, half american bully" Here's my girl Miracle. She's almost 3 now, and spoiled a$$ rotten lol. She's a PitBully, is why I ask. I didn't get a very good view of lil taz there, but kinda looks like it. Miracle is 55lb, and about 97% muscle, and 3% bone, skin, organs, etc lmao. Absolutely without a doubt the strongest dog I've ever had. That's a bold statement given my 202lb Malamute, and 150lb big boned white shepherd. Her lil butt is stronger.. That being said, she got beat up by a Chihuahua lol, not a fighting bone in her body. Here she is eating air. lol th-cam.com/video/KpJoauMrphA/w-d-xo.html
BUBBEH!!!1!1 YOU FOOL! THERE'S AND ANKLE ROCKER!!!!111!!
Lol. The toes work anyway.
This comment is candidate to go to the next episode of "They love me, they love me not" 😅
@@MythsAndHeroes Lol tipsy toes! That are connect to the feet! And I like the way you say feet. It gets me everytime.
I want to see a toothpick dispenser redemption video!!
me too
I wonder if the Megatron gun is meant for Hunk instead of Aussie since Brawn was the one to use it and not Outback.
Yea it is.
Since 1978. Has any grown up top since? You need to sparkle more water up there often.
You can I guess do some disassembly to loosen the screw under the head and fix it being off center because the screw seems to have been overtorqued
Robert D, man, myth, LEGEND!
Outback Steakhouse is as authentic to Australian cuisine as Bobby and I would be as ambassadors for products that promoted thick and lustrous hair.
See, what you *don't* know is that under that skull mask he's rocking a insanely thick head of lustrous hair that's the envy of even Greek gods.
@@Wymorence Pretty sure he looks more like Bill Burr than he does Mr Sheffield from The Nanny.
🤔 I'm still on the fence about swapping out my Bad Cube for this one. If it was a different character definitely. IDK🤷🏿♂️
I did not even finish the video yet, I demand puppy videos, now.
And there he is next to Starjdaionvinl;ijf...*
I don’t know why but I’ve always had a soft spot for Outback.
It makes sense! He's a badass. He blows up seekers with massive grenades, stopped an intergalactic war and the Quintesson's from profiteering from further wars.
I did too, mostly because I had him as a kid, but not Brawn, so I had to hype him up in my imagination as far more prominent than he really was in the cartoon. Same with Swerve vs Gears.

I've been watching a long time - I said "good grief" at the exact moment you did. Congrats on the puppy!
Congratulations on the puppy, I hope your wife sticks to the agreement 😂
Every time I twist something 360⁰ around I always get a full lap.
I've seen other reviewers do this figure, seems the head problems is across the board. Sucks. I'm always amazed when something that's supposed to be masterpiece has these kinds of simple problems. Really sucks
Straight forward and to the point, I can dig it!
Bobby "loves cheese fries and designer dogs" Face!

And there he is with Starling.
Robert D is a nut! Lol. Anything for the punchline.
Not super excited about this one, but i Ordered him along with Hannibal, it is amazing to me that this dry spell almost lines up completely with the video game dry spell of summer.
Almost 4 months of nothing semi-irresponsible to throw my money at.
Probably did that on purpose, knowing Outback isn't the most popular character - just plop him in August and people will be desperate for something.
That accent was not bad. Honestly a bit impressed lol
Yo dude. Might wanna double check those ankles;)
TMAN had the same issue with the head. Stuck facing a bit to his left. Doesn't move
The head kiiiinda has a swivel. I took mine apart and there is a screw holding the neck post to the collar. It can be loosened, but even afterwards there's not much room to turn.

AND YOU CHEW TOOTH PICS ….. You are my soul brotha n officially thee most G’ed up Toy Guy (besides me) in the game
I just picked up Fans Toys MP Aussie
Perfect dog and age to chew on 200 figures. Js 😂
Alt mode reminds me more of an armored car.
I thought he had blue windows? Maybe that was a preproduction... these look great.

Cheese fries for the win
I like how every reviewer is putting the hips in the wrong position to get any forward or back hip movement and then not mentioning it.
Loaded cheese fries and ranch. Now you're talking. Thanks for the great video as well. Where in the east coast are you located?
SKULLFACE PUPPY!!!
Call the pup spotty, Bobby. Cause it rhymes like the rap songs you create.
Hey Bobby did u try lossening the screw behind the face to fix the head orientation?
Ahhh Bobby got a little doggy
Looks like Spot , the dog from Target. In this case this one is small and puppy cute.

Thanks for the review. I have to ask - what was the weird grunting at 12:06? Was that the dog or some weird editing?
Better keep this guy away from Beast Wars DepthCharge

I wonder if the Megatron gun is fanstoys way of giving us a hint of something coming down the line 🤔
Nah brawn used it in a episode
@@tonytck Fire in the sky. The return of Skyfire. Spike even met a girl in that episode that looks like Salma Hayek.

This has got to be one of the ugliest toon accurate character that I don't even remember.
Not my favorite, both the character design and the FT TF action figure.
Thanks for the review Mr. Skullface.
Are you as much as an Aussie capitan Kangaroo as he is mate?

I feel like I have this figure kind of a Luke warm response. I was even critical of the alt mode which some seem to like 🤷♂️

No blue eyes? This toy looks kinda trash. Not impressed. I feel like they are headed for Takara territory in many regards.
He had silver eyes for at least half of his limited screen time. I would've liked the option to swap though.
I think Bad Cube has Fans Toys dead to rights on this one.
