I bought Impactor from Amazon this week. They literally just stuck an address label on the back of the box and posted it freestyle. Delivered it to my neighbour too so I had the walk of shame to go get it. ,
I adore the Victory designs. Mostly because I adore the entire "80s anime robot" design aesthetic, so even though I've only seen like 5 episodes of Victory I went in on both Star Saber and Deathsaurus because they're both so, so "80s super robot" and I couldn't be happier with them. Deathsaurus especially is Masterpiece level, I really don't see how he could be improved on. Hopefully at some point we'll get Dino Force (WITH the pretender shells, no one ever remembers what the inner robots on Pretenders looked like let's face it) and Liokaiser. 5:22 I actually cackled out loud at this. Bless you, sir.
Throw in Lyzack aswell; She kind of a dork, and I hope they incorporate somethings from the Animated design, in a similar way they did with Masterpiece Roadrage.
The Dino Force are actually coming soon iirc, with the Legacy Core Dinobots and Volcanicus being their pretools. I dunno if they would come with the pretender shells though.
@@Da_ComputerMonster Lyzack would be funny, especially if we did go Animated, because she uses a Jettwin as her base in what we got. Lyzack + Jetfire combiner when?
@@ShinGallon even so, many pretenders have already been released within Legacy, combining a Pretender shell Robot mode, with the Inner robots alternate Mode it's likely the dino force will do the same somehow
Liokaiser might just be a Generations line 6-release. I'm just being honest, I doubt they'd get a Haslab in the near future. They di want to cool off Victory Haslabs, and the next one is hinted with "Omega"
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Actually... there's another Omega of importance and relevance. The Omega Lock. And we saw Cybertron(?) Primus in a pic with G1 Proto and Haslab Unicrons. So maybe we get a G1 transforming Cybertron?
Hasbro absolutely NAILED this. It's like they listened to every single criticism people had with Victory Saber and LEARNED FROM THEM. I am so ridiculously happy with him.
I love the Victory designs. Deathsaurus is like if Soundwave was the main villain and also the devil (and according to the manga also had a wife). I remember a friend introducing me to Victory like 6 years ago and that was actually my first real deep dive into Transformers.
Aw man Thew, if only you saw the bit in the instructions where you can make the death chicken hold the massive cannon, it would've wrapped around from being the silliest thing you've ever seen to the GREATEST thing you've ever seen.
It is impossible to mount that preposterous gun on that giant robo chicken death monster without cracking a big, silly, mad scientist smile. I know these unboxing videos are off-the-cuff by nature, but I would’ve loved to witness Thew’s irrepressible cackle upon doing that for the first time.
Thanks Thew! You're the best, and I love your energy in every video. You did miss one amazing feature: how Kaiju mode holds the giant cannon on his shoulder with his little boob arm like a rocket launcher! Honestly, such an insane addition and I have him posed like that all the time. Kaiju with a bazooka... it's wild! Thank you again for all you do!
frankly if they had revealed the micromasters like a week earlier i wouldve backed this lad myself, by that time i was out of money and they were what pushed me over the edge of actually wanting to buy one for myself
The figure is outstanding, got my one displayed on the throne. Where I have the legs resting on Studio Series Starscreams throne like a stool. Was the only reason I got the figure in the first place.
Genuinely winced when thew held up the massive sword because one of the only bits I’ve seen of victory is the one where Deathsaurus genuinely almost hacks Saber’s arm off with it. It’s VICIOUS. I love it so much
i am so glad i'm not the only one who thought of soundwave when it comes to his look and gimmick he's like soundwave but if he saw grimlocks alt mode and went"thats mine now"
Me: "I wonder if Thew is gonna be attacked by the unexpected boxes when he tries to pour them out--" *Thew is startled by the extra boxes falling out* Me (laughing): "Same"
and the bie evil space chicken is there. and after decades I finally got what's the deal with the melty thrones! they are supposed to be made out of melted rocks! it's the 'warmed up into lava out of sheer power, shaped it, then let it cool down', and that's why it' boobly there's one big reason why monstructor is low on the line abominus exist and it's the more VIP of the 2. they share the baseline concept
Always excited to watch a Dammit Open, and even more excited to hear someone else reference Bushes of Love! HELL YEAH! Now that's the only thing I'm going to think of when I look at my Deathsaurus.
Thank you for more excellent content Thew! Oh, and thank you for the music countdown. Been listening to Health pretty steadily since they appeared in yer countdown!
As a kid I always thought deathsarous was the evolution of soundwave. My kid brain just saw cassettes and linked them together. I consider soundwave being the last of the first wave of decepticons and somehow turned into deathsarous lol
also during the 90's G1 Deathsaurus' toy was repurposed into a Brave series character named "Red Geist" from the 3rd Brave series "The Legend of Brave Fighter Dagarn".
Man, I wish I could've had afforded this, a Giant Chromed Space Murder Chicken Kaiju with a throne, a big ass rifle, a big ass scimittar, 2 minions and a morning star? it's everything I could've wanted.
Apparently, the flail's ball and chain is from the original Masterpiece Megatron, of all places! Also, he can hold that cannon in dinosaur mode. There's a notch on the shoulder, and everything.
Well, in the Transformers: Prime finale movie Preadking's two Predacon minions are Sky Lynx and Darksteel. Darksteel has the DS name construction (toy has the color scheme) and turns into a chicken dragon so there is a universe where they are friends.
He does plug in a bit better than that on the throne on my copy. I had to fiddle with the back kibble to get it in the proper position and he gets in there pretty well.
Strip down most of the accessories and you have one pretty amazing Commander Class entry for 2024. This thing while looking phenomenal in robot mode has perhaps one of the most bizarre creature alt modes I've ever see. Hilariously silly and impossible not to love. Very how much I feel about the Skylinx design in how dumb but unrepentantly fun and dumb it is. Great review and probably the best Haslab release yet without costing a small fortune Side note: SS Galvatron needs a monthly Megatron. Decided to pick one up, and pretty fun and articulated figure. Not perfect by any means but the transformation is surprisingly quite fun though quite involved.
I'm sure that a lot of the faults with the Earthrise Micromasters was to do with how they had to also be guns, the two in this set benefit from not having to do that extra thing.
Wish I could get these things but I don't have that kind of money. They look so sweet. Given how much they're leaning into Victory recently, I would be shocked if we didn't get Dinoking. Personally I care less about Dinoking than I do about the fly I squashed in my bathroom. I REALLY want a Monstructor though! I have since I was a kid and I still do. If they do a Haslab thing where he comes with plastic monster shells for each guy I would love it, but just recoloured/remolded core class Dinobots on their own would be sweet.
The raditude of Count Dezarassildor is astounding. Really wish backing it wouldn't've cost so much, cuz I would've been on that *quick*. Then again, idk if they'd've shipped to Germany anyway.
deathaurus is sooo good, love the figure, also is you are having issues with him sliding out of his throne, the dragon head kinda slots into a groove near the top and holds it pretty well, without tipping it forward
So glad Hasbro didn't pull the same shit they did with Victory Saber and send free review copies out to TH-camrs before actual backers got them. They did it right this time

I love how Pipo's name is the equivalent of us getting an ambulanceformer named Weewoo.
stg I said the exact same thing 😂
is it too late to rename ratchet
If it wasn't for a certain GPS-prone bison tank, I can guarantee that this guy would have been called Killdragon in a parallel universe.
that’s what the one in spiderverse miles morales’ home dimension would be called i think

I love that half the unpacking process is taking boxes out of a box out of a box out of a box. Thanks Hasbro
They REALLY wanted to make sure every piece of this set reached the buyers untouched.
It truly is an unboxing video hahaha

The sheer JOY you have for all this is infectious mate! Great job!
"He looks like if Soundwave got the Unicron upgrade"
SOMEONE WRITE THAT DOWN
My head canon for Soundblaster
I fan-moded that once.
As a child, I only had one part of Monstructor- Icepick. And he used to ride around on G2 Megatrons shoulder, like a little Decepticon parrot.
Victory Saber and Deathsaurus are excellent. I hope they do Liokaiser someday.
Liokaiser might just be a Generations line 6-release.
I'm just being honest, I doubt they'd get a Haslab in the near future.
They di want to cool off Victory Haslabs, and the next one is hinted with "Omega"
@@samurexatlas7373 oh boy another omega supreme who could have ever guessed.

Forget "SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!" I'm now all "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD SCABS THRONE!"
Now I'm just picturing Deathsaurus riding Skylynx in the final battle against Unicron where the Autobots & Decepticons team up.
Deathsaurus would never battle Unicron. He's too chicken. Ba-dum-tish!
With that price point this one is way out of my league, glad we have this amazing man out there living our wildest collectors dreams.
Hasbro absolutely NAILED this. It's like they listened to every single criticism people had with Victory Saber and LEARNED FROM THEM.
I am so ridiculously happy with him.
What criticisms specifically, other than spotty QC?
That WAS the main issue. One person I know literally got HALF the set.@@manjackson2772
@@manjackson2772 Biggest one for me besides QC is the articulation and overall robot proportions
@@manjackson2772 Better packaging, prevention of scratching on the chrome bits, bigger sword, etc.
“We all have a women chicken duck thing waiting for us”. You earned a like with that line sir…
1:32 so much of my head canon comes from when Thew says something and I go "oh holy crap I'm keeping that"
I love the Victory designs. Deathsaurus is like if Soundwave was the main villain and also the devil (and according to the manga also had a wife).
I remember a friend introducing me to Victory like 6 years ago and that was actually my first real deep dive into Transformers.
It does look like a robot chicken - but anyone who’s ever been around chickens knows how evil those tiny dinosaurs 🦖 can be
Aw man Thew, if only you saw the bit in the instructions where you can make the death chicken hold the massive cannon, it would've wrapped around from being the silliest thing you've ever seen to the GREATEST thing you've ever seen.
It is impossible to mount that preposterous gun on that giant robo chicken death monster without cracking a big, silly, mad scientist smile. I know these unboxing videos are off-the-cuff by nature, but I would’ve loved to witness Thew’s irrepressible cackle upon doing that for the first time.
This is my aesthetic. Big blocky space chicken puking out a laser blast.
I"d LOVE a Monstructor, with all the shells!
Thew laughing at the sheer goofiness of a transformer always gives me life.
On the same day I got my transformers Japanese collection on DVD, and I'm already excited for victory!
Them naming him PīPŌ is like Hasbro naming a Protectobot WeeWoo.
Thanks Thew! You're the best, and I love your energy in every video. You did miss one amazing feature: how Kaiju mode holds the giant cannon on his shoulder with his little boob arm like a rocket launcher! Honestly, such an insane addition and I have him posed like that all the time. Kaiju with a bazooka... it's wild! Thank you again for all you do!
Deathsaurus was everything I ever wanted. No other transformer balances badass and silly quite the way he does.
I hope it’s not just me, but I love hearing Thew sing haha. The “just cut me loose,” and “shoot that poison arrow through my heart” were so good!
frankly if they had revealed the micromasters like a week earlier i wouldve backed this lad myself, by that time i was out of money and they were what pushed me over the edge of actually wanting to buy one for myself
That was absolutely the same laugh I made when completing the chicken-kaiju transformation. He's so dumb, but so awesome.
"OOoooh, that's a good looking robot" I just love how Thew is just one of us; geeking out over COOL GEEK SHIT
The figure is outstanding, got my one displayed on the throne. Where I have the legs resting on Studio Series Starscreams throne like a stool. Was the only reason I got the figure in the first place.
Ok but why can I imagine Thew’s personality being perfect for drag? His bustling charisma always keeps me watching!
Genuinely winced when thew held up the massive sword because one of the only bits I’ve seen of victory is the one where Deathsaurus genuinely almost hacks Saber’s arm off with it. It’s VICIOUS. I love it so much
Everytime my favorite Transformer person also validates Godzilla is a special happy moment for me.
When you said that he seemed like a Commander Class, I would Absolutely agree! Deathsaurus really did deserve an incredible modernised look!
So in America, Pipo would be called WeeWoo
And in the UK, NeeNarr
I have stumbled upon this video early enough that people may see my comment.
Voodoo chicken pudding.
This is absolutely the best space chicken robot I've ever seen.
This might be the single most beautiful robot mode I've ever seen.
“Oh my god he’s huge!”
I regret watching this at full volume now.
I may have already had this guy for a month, but I was insanely excited to see your reaction to it. Glad to finally see the video 💛
Stand up to the Victory!
Wait, wrong show.
I love that I didn't realize my Deathsaurus' horns weren't folded out until Thew noticed on his
He honestly looks amazing. I don't even know much about Victory, and I even love the goofy alt mode!
A beautiful review, as always. The hype comes from you, not from what you're holding.
i am so glad i'm not the only one who thought of soundwave when it comes to his look and gimmick he's like soundwave but if he saw grimlocks alt mode and went"thats mine now"
Me: "I wonder if Thew is gonna be attacked by the unexpected boxes when he tries to pour them out--"
*Thew is startled by the extra boxes falling out*
Me (laughing): "Same"
I love deathsaurus. I was super excited when mine showed up, and a plus mine was one of the first to show up in America
I avoided other reviews of this toy until you got yours. Worth the wait :)
The fact that this thing got funded but the star wars black series rancor didn’t makes me very proud of the transformers fandom
"bushes of love" reference!
and the bie evil space chicken is there. and after decades I finally got what's the deal with the melty thrones!
they are supposed to be made out of melted rocks! it's the 'warmed up into lava out of sheer power, shaped it, then let it cool down', and that's why it' boobly
there's one big reason why monstructor is low on the line
abominus exist and it's the more VIP of the 2. they share the baseline concept
That Monstructor smack was totally uncalled for;
*Im now rapidly approaching your location-*
I really could see Deathsaurus as a Soundwave who got found by Unicron and got upgraded with the breast animals being the cassettes.
Always excited to watch a Dammit Open, and even more excited to hear someone else reference Bushes of Love! HELL YEAH! Now that's the only thing I'm going to think of when I look at my Deathsaurus.
Thank you for more excellent content Thew!
Oh, and thank you for the music countdown. Been listening to Health pretty steadily since they appeared in yer countdown!
This came way faster than I expected, lol
Thank you, Thew!
The best review!!! Love the energy and silliness.
As a kid I always thought deathsarous was the evolution of soundwave. My kid brain just saw cassettes and linked them together. I consider soundwave being the last of the first wave of decepticons and somehow turned into deathsarous lol
that core class dino combiner is destined to one of those repaints
also during the 90's G1 Deathsaurus' toy was repurposed into a Brave series character named "Red Geist" from the 3rd Brave series "The Legend of Brave Fighter Dagarn".
I love how you've been color-coding your nails to the bots in a lot of your reviews!
Boater and Pipo are the last two members of the rescue patrol
Got mine in the post last week, and he’s glorious. Deathsaurious.
Also I like the what if idea, if unicron upgraded soundwave to deathsaurus
Those nails look great Thew! The shiny red and blue suits you!
The crown is absolutely Soundwave. That flail is epic. An epic flail?
Didn’t expect to hear “Bushes of Love,” but Thew is awesome, so I’m not too surprised. 😂
Man, I wish I could've had afforded this, a Giant Chromed Space Murder Chicken Kaiju with a throne, a big ass rifle, a big ass scimittar, 2 minions and a morning star? it's everything I could've wanted.
I love that Deathsaurus and Victory Saber both have Fuck-You-Cannons.
Apparently, the flail's ball and chain is from the original Masterpiece Megatron, of all places! Also, he can hold that cannon in dinosaur mode. There's a notch on the shoulder, and everything.
I checked out that Ithaca album. That is some stellar work. I felt like I was rediscovering Metal. Aaaaaand I'm getting a Deathsaurus today.
Well, in the Transformers: Prime finale movie Preadking's two Predacon minions are Sky Lynx and Darksteel. Darksteel has the DS name construction (toy has the color scheme) and turns into a chicken dragon so there is a universe where they are friends.
Surprised he missed how the cannon can also plug into kaiju chicken mode.
He does plug in a bit better than that on the throne on my copy. I had to fiddle with the back kibble to get it in the proper position and he gets in there pretty well.
Thews reaction to all of this was literally me when i got mine and showed it to my dad
Loving the bushes of love reference
The shield peg can store inside the tail in Robochicken mode
There is no doubt in my mind they are doing Dinoking. Im excited to see Volcanicus recolored
I just binged a bunch of these and I'm shocked nobody has sent in a custom Carpetdoor.
Deathsaurus looks like a giant, evil Twincast.
Unrelated but you've got a nice falsetto there, Thew.
Great review Thew! I love your honesty

I passed on Grimlock but I would absolutely buy the theoretical retool into Deathsaurus. He looks so dumb, I love it.
No shot was thinking the same with the sound wave instead of mega thing, god I’d cut my big toe off for a single chance at him or that star saber set
Wish I could get these things but I don't have that kind of money. They look so sweet. Given how much they're leaning into Victory recently, I would be shocked if we didn't get Dinoking.

But seriously.. Deathsaurus friggin rules and I'm glad our Brits finally got theirs as well. Cheers.
This figure is great, BTW threw the cannon also tabs onto his shoulder
I'm down for a Road Ceaser, Liokaizer, and Landcross
I haven't opened up my Star Saber yet...today may be the day.
deathaurus is sooo good, love the figure, also is you are having issues with him sliding out of his throne, the dragon head kinda slots into a groove near the top and holds it pretty well, without tipping it forward

But yeah, in next week we'll see what's gonna be 4th TransFormers HasLab figure.
Bring on the 30th!. I want to see what's next from Haslab.
Deathsaurus looks so good!
Hell yeah, more Godzilla discussion.
I regret not getting this even more than Victory saber.
Waiting in the bushes for us... waiting in the bushes of love
There was rumors they were going to do a remodel / remolding of studio series masterpiece grimlock into Deathsaurus but it never happened
