I liked your approach with this review, it was a good choice to show the whole trip because sometimes TH-camrs don't say anything bad about the products they review to keep sponsors happy and this shows your honesty.
Fans Hobby is a lot of fun. I have heard that this figure isn’t their best but I have their Bossman and really enjoy it. As for the journey, Admitting growth beats doubling down every time.
8:47, holy cow, that’s kinda what happened. Also at 9:27 you turned into cobra commander for a second. And yes, the blue one is nightbeat. It cool to see the Change in thoughts, good video, glad I watched it to the end!
Glad to see your whole approach to this figure. From the negativity your felt to warming up to it at the end. Oh and in your defense about eating sticks of butter thinking it was cheese, well they do both come from milk lol
Thx thx, happy to share it with yall :) I felt it was necessary to show the whole journey and my transformation. Only fair to the toy and its maker. And it must be a dairy thing, cuz Asia wasnt big on dairy back in the day, and I abso love milk lol
I actually really appreciate this mold. I had red buzzer and ace hitter, the articulation is spectacular, and the transformation is intuitively done. Sometimes a little fiddly, but both modes look great in my opinion.
I appreciate your honesty. We all make mistakes. I was skeptical at first with siege, but it ended up not too bad. I mean they are just fun to mess around with. Especially armorizers! I particularly liked kingdom springer, and am very excited to get the ss update soon!too many accessories, yes, but still a solid figure with great Easter egg features.
Same for me! I wasnt originally sold on Siege, but they kept on pumpin out bangers, which ultimately got me back into collecting the mainline :) Yeah, I love all the build-formers. They were the genesis of this channel!
I've had that exact same thing happen, where I'm disappointed in a figure right away, but learn to love it for what it is. Funny how that happens. And, I guess to be fair... i've had it happen the other way too where I'm excited right away, but grow more bored with it quickly as I get used to... not as often tho luckily. Bottom line, it's good to see initial takes and positive and negatives about a figure, so your honesty is always appreciated. 👍 Man... I can't imagine not living without cheese. But if I didn't even know it existed... then I guess I wouldn't know what I was missing. And funny about eating butter... when I was a baby, my mom caught me in the kitchen eating Crisco from the tub (like cooking lard I guess lol I doubt it exists anymore).
I was the same way with a large majority of the siege figures. They weren’t great in design or engineering, but they’re just fun to mess around with anyway. Even Chromia.
Haha that's so true! It works the other way too XD Yeah, happy to provide honest reviews. I feel I'd be doing the community a disservice otherwise. I treat it like a virtual hangout, so I'm giving everyone my honest take :) And yeah, cheese is so good lol. Vice for life lol. And wow, good to know that I'm in great company with the lard eating! :D
Yeah it's a Y U G E pain when screws loosen up like that but hey you should try raw goat milk cheese my family owns goats so we make cheese & soap & coffee creamer with the milk It's only human to not accept things then come to accept them like you did and you pulled a Leela as a kid (she ate whole sticks of butter in an episode) Unfortunately there's around 5 showbiz pizza places left in the US that's not been changed into a chuck a cheese (which unfortunately inspired the fnaf games don't play them trust me)
Also leaving anything negativity behind, I hpe they don't get in problems for advertising their product with a red cross on the box and on the decal :s
Seems like there's a fair bit of spaghetti on this figure. Long as it's tight tho, it's not too bad. If u wanna keep that screw from spinning, u could dab a bit of nail polish over it. Or maybe there's a washer that's missing in there?
Yeah, the tightening of the screw somehow fixed everything for me lol. I plan to give the toy away this week to the community, so I'll let the new owner decide :)
I have the Wheelblade version of this toy. It's basically the same except for the faceplate with windblade's hair piece and includes a purple sword with a wheel in the hilt. It is great in A and B modes, but also, the transformation is NOT fun. The tolerances on my copy are extremely tight and it always feels like the plastic is going to break. It's great once the transformation is done, but i really hate not liking this toy because the primary play feature, transformation, just isn't fun.
Whoa, they made a Windblade figure from this?! Far out! Yeah, the first couple of times I went thru the transformation, I abso hated it. Esp the shoulder parts. But somehow, just somehow, we made amends in this instance lol. But Im the same, the transformation and engineering have to be smooth for me to really enjoy a toy. That's why I hate overly panel-y transformers.
Brother I failed to see the part where you sounded like a jerk. You were being analytical as a consumer. You were impatient or immature. Observationally you were actually fine and it's okay for things to have an initial reaction. Life's full of lavacakes bro you think you're just getting chocolate cake and boom lava. Your video was well informed. Crystal clear and entertaining. I have a butter eating problem too.😂😂😂 Great video bro
Thanks for understanding. Perhaps I felt it held more vitriol cuz I was swearing inside haha. I prolly feel worse because I end up eating my words after developing an appreciation for her :) Thank you for the support and Im glad you liked the video. IMPERIAL!
I liked your approach with this review, it was a good choice to show the whole trip because sometimes TH-camrs don't say anything bad about the products they review to keep sponsors happy and this shows your honesty.
Yeah, I thought it was fair for everyone and everything involved :) thank you for watching

Fans hobby is a damn good company. I have the SG naval commander and the double evil, but in the original palette. I want the toon version.
Hey wsup homie! :)
8:47, holy cow, that’s kinda what happened. Also at 9:27 you turned into cobra commander for a second. And yes, the blue one is nightbeat.
It cool to see the Change in thoughts, good video, glad I watched it to the end!
Yeah, that's the turning point XD and I totally did turn into the Commander! Didnt even catch that hahha. Thank you watching until the end, bud!
@@BotBenderOrinj you're welcome!
The design and transformation looks so sleek. It almost reminds me of a transformers prime figure for some reason.
Yeah, it took me a bit to appreciate her, but in the end we got there :) The smoothness of it all def reminds me of TFP.
Glad to see your whole approach to this figure. From the negativity your felt to warming up to it at the end. Oh and in your defense about eating sticks of butter thinking it was cheese, well they do both come from milk lol

The butter eating story was the highlight 😄
Hahaha thx :) I get to see her in a few weeks and I'ma tell her the story again lol
@@BotBenderOrinj awesome! Enjoy that family time!
Good video
Hey thx a lot :)
Athena is the figure but we were the ones who Transformed.
Well said, my friend. I truly felt transformed at the end.
I actually really appreciate this mold. I had red buzzer and ace hitter, the articulation is spectacular, and the transformation is intuitively done. Sometimes a little fiddly, but both modes look great in my opinion.
Yeah I learned to love her in the end :)

@@BotBenderOrinj LMAO Lard Bros! Not sure I love the sound of that... but hey, I accept my past and weaknesses for what they are... lol!
@@Heartedperil132-on4mc Very! Same!
Like how honest about the hole thing really like you videos. Keep being honest I n your reviews and the awesome work you do.
Thanks for the support, Jonathan :-)
lmao i love the warning at the beginning u know its gonna be a good video
Haha thx thx :) def had to come clean and set the proper expectation
Yeah it's a Y U G E pain when screws loosen up like that but hey you should try raw goat milk cheese my family owns goats so we make cheese & soap & coffee creamer with the milk

This figure looks like strongarm but the figure both car mode and robot mode looks really good
Strongarm is like their linear descendent kinda lol
@ yeah true lol
She's my fav transformer
Nice nice. I dont know anything about her actually.
i really enjoy this toy, at least when watching this video
Haha super fair :)
4:50
OH! I hurt for her there, lol! It was an accident though, so it's all good! I'm sure she understands!
Yeah totally didnt mean it. Still felt bad tho haha XD I gotta make it up to her with a Short
@BotBenderOrinj dude, I'm the same way with my toys! I'll do one on accident and feel terrible for the day because of it, lol!
Yeah fr hahahah XD
Wish i have ability to buy this Minerva for my wife's Bday.
Why can’t you?
Hope things works out!
Also leaving anything negativity behind, I hpe they don't get in problems for advertising their product with a red cross on the box and on the decal :s
That's be tragic!
Im wat hing this looped on 0.25% speed (im doing my part)
Yo I appreciate you, my G!
Do you have legacy minerva or its mold mates?
Yes indeed!
MP 36 megatron has a good transformation. I will die on this hill
Yo youre not wrong! I agree with you :)
Nah Newage romulus (G1 Megs) has the better transformation
@ I never compared the two, I’m just saying MP 36 has a good transformation
While fiddley, i absolutely love the transformation of MP-3 starscream
The OG! I liked the original green one a lot :)
@BotBenderOrinj I got the Walmart white version a couple years ago, painted it like a navy version and did the hip skirt fix lol
It happens to us all …
ROTB MIRAGE ..
Perfect example haha XD
Nightbeat is the blue one.
Yeah, totally Googled it afterward lol. I didnt know it was a direct repaint. No mold change it appears.
That vehicle mode is sleek
Yeah I learned to appreciate her
doctor lockdowns only minerva for years before legacy
Word :) Prior to doing this review, I had no idea she was an 'old' toy
I kinda like it
Yes, totally grew on me!
Seems like there's a fair bit of spaghetti on this figure. Long as it's tight tho, it's not too bad. If u wanna keep that screw from spinning, u could dab a bit of nail polish over it. Or maybe there's a washer that's missing in there?
Yeah, the tightening of the screw somehow fixed everything for me lol. I plan to give the toy away this week to the community, so I'll let the new owner decide :)
Is this figure roughly Legacy Minerva sized? Because if so, she will fight right into my collection.
She's much taller, roughly 7 inches tall (17cm)
@@BotBenderOrinj Thank you!

XD
SH wants exposure, does she have an OnlysFans page 😅. Good review as always.
We're working on an Only Fan Modes page 😆
Nah screw Fans Hobby the first release shouldn't have been a partformer
Yeah, I wonder why they did it like that and then changed it later.
