I would say the worst part is the hinge that holds the backpack on because it is made of thin plastic that can get stressed and start cracking very easily if you try to open the backpack too much.
Ooh, that transformation looks _delicious._ I truly adore how coherent they made the alt mode's interior look, even if it ends up being covered by the canopy, anyway. I'm one of the few people who genuinely love _Studio Series_ Gamer Edition Bumblebee, so this is going to be a treat, for me, specifically.
I found out that you can put the arm in the slot in the hood of the car backpack which hides the arm well. You have to flip in the hand in order for it to fit. And the tab stays in pretty well.
Definitely an improvement over some of the first wave releases. Car mode is tight, and the conversion is slick. If I were to venture into buying any of these Prime, Starscream, and Cliffjumper would top the list for sure.
The camber on the back wheels only happens because you're pushing the shoulders up and slightly out of place when tabbing the feet in. I noticed this on mine, you just have to hold the shoulders in place when tabbing them in and everything lines up fine. 👍
I literally got my GE Sideswipe a few hours before your video came out and i love him. Before watching your video, my ONLY complaint about him is the lack of ankle tilts.
So as someone who can fix about 50% of things you say "I can fix that" about, I'd love for you to make a video just called "I Can Fix That" where you do a quick overview of all the things you do to fix the most common problems
I don't mind the Gamer Edition figures not being able to store their arms because, in the games, the arm becomes the weapon, and they don't pop off their arms and need to carry it around. It always feels like I'm the only person I know who doesn't care if a toy has storage to be able to carry all of it's accessories at all time.
I got him from Walmart a day before he was revealed lol. He’s good enough but I don’t feel much in the way of love or hate. I use him as my IDW RID Sideswipe though.
One missed opportunity was how in the Fall of cybertron multiplayer games was how you could customize your character with different heads limbs and chest, which would have been cool if that if you could actual mix and match figures like with studio series Kup or legacy junkions And yes I know it’s war for Cybertron toy but both games have the same assets
Nice review, and I'm glad to see that Gamer Edition is improving on the whole. No ankle tilts is a bit of a disappointment, but that transformation looks very interesting, and probably quite fun once you get the hang of it. As a side note, what's your opinion on Bumblebee Concept Art Sunstreaker? I'm thinking of getting him and Gamer Sideswipe together, to have Cybertronian versions of the dynamic duo.
Looks like one of the best Gamer Edition figures so far. I do think they probably could’ve used some of the front car bulk to form the feet and clean up the back, though. Looks far more coherent and accurate than Bee or Starscream.
I think the purpose of Gamer Edition (at least for me) was to buy the figures so that you could collect the weapons that came with them (with the exception of Megatron and Starscream), i.e. the Energon battle pistol and plasma cannon that came with Dad Bod Bumblebee/Cliffjumper and the neutron assault rifle that comes with Barricade.
I have this figure along with animated universe optimus prime ordered and on the way, im praying sideswipe arrives tomorrow because of how close he is, also i need help, gamer edition megatron, or starscream? Im looking for more decepticons in my collection as right now its mostly autobots.
I really really hope we get a warpath figure... They did him so well in war seriously he was PERFECT and I would be so happy if we got a figure for him
SSGE Sideswipe has to be the BEST SSGE figure! Hes great! His botmode's sick, his carmode's super swish, his articulation is pretty good! Despite not technically having any real attachment to the WFC/FOC games, I actually REALLY want to grab Swipe! Also, his feet ain't even that bad, so thats a bonus! The lack of ankle-tilt is a bit disappointing, but no big deal. & hes gonna look pretty darn good with SSBBM Concept Sunstreaker!
I recently got my own copy of the figure, and I'm getting some stress marks on the backpack, it's only on the interior where it pulls out to allow for the head to fold in, but the fact that they're there at all worries me. makes me not want to touch it, BUT DANG IT I WANT TO PLAY WITH MY TRANSFORMER TOY!!!!
They’re shifting it to the MPG line, which I don’t get because the MPG line has a horrific reputation right from the get go (just watch any video on the finalised MPG Raiden).
@@user-bx1mo4hb4x deluxe reactivate bumblebee, all deluxe stunticons, legacy knockout/ SS Jazz, SS Brawn, legacy chase, SS RotB wheeljack, SS RotB bumblebee, SS RotB airaizor, SS RotB Nightbird. There's more.
I mean, I *guess* I can use the legs so that non-wfc guys can hold them, but like. Ew. Very strong opinion, high moon guns should *never* be handheld. Plus with it being a tab and not specifically a 5mm peg I can just ignore it.
I am guessing that BBM SS Sunstreaker is your next review given that you have him. Gamer Edition Optimus Fantastic BB Not great CJ same issues as BB Barricade, Stand up man Megs He's okay, I have had no issues with him, but those knees are odd Screamer is great, I love that toy Swipe, looks good, I don't have him yet as they UK Hasbro seems to keep pushing him and his Bro back
Looking at this I sincerely hope they redo Bruticus for this series. Best Bruticus design, terrible toy. The upgrade kit mostly fixes it, but not *really*.
Huh, sounds like it's actually a good figure, but it just doesn't look as sci fi futuristic as the classic Bertone designed Lamborghini - the same problem BB Sunstreaker runs into. Not like anything could, if any car looks like it came from outer space in the year 6969 it's the Countach. Yes the number IS intentional, it's just that sexy 😍
In the game wen he transforms the torso spins around and the legs trans form four last. I Like how they sorta replicated It in to the Toy.😢😅😅😅 Sik attenzion to dectails.
Would've got him but... I just love G1 Sideswipe's Lambo mode too much. And i'm a 1 and done kinda if colector. Hopefully they get it down by the time they do Bruticus.
i would say it hasn't found its footing yet but its getting there, however that does not excuse how much they screwed up the line and continue to screw it up, like even sideswipe is bad with his hollow legs back kibble and lack of ankle tilt
Why are you saying hollow legs is a problem with this Sideswipe? The hollowness is to facilitate transformation, but it's also completely covered up in both modes? And the back kibble honestly isn't bad. The kibble on the top is screen accurate, and the rest isn't really a problem.
@brandontaylor7744 the legs shouldnt be hollow the backpack could've been slimmed down to add bits to fill the legs in and no the backpack is not accurate this is the equivalent of saying mp45 bumblebee's backpack isnt an issue and is accurate because it has a fake spare tire on its back
@thedrifter5531 it's really not even close to comparing to mp45. That had a masterpiece budget and was still a massive failure. You're complaining as if you were expecting masterpiece level budget and third party level engineering in a 25ish USD toy. Taking budget into account, the only real issue is the lack of ankle tilts. And again, the hollowness in the legs is both covered up completely in robot mode and is essential for the transformation.
The feet are probably the worst part and this figure lol
He’s got literal Bunny Slippers
I agree he feet look bad
they look like pancakes that got flattened by a steam roller.
Bro same here
Kingdom Galvatron and Legacy Sandstorm also have massive heels. It's to prevent back heavy bots from toppling backwards.
I would say the worst part is the hinge that holds the backpack on because it is made of thin plastic that can get stressed and start cracking very easily if you try to open the backpack too much.
"He died again"
Me trying to finish mission one and the ai keeps fucking around directly in the path of enemy fire.
That’s just barricade it’s so funny
Damn I’m good (proceeds to fall due to no ankle joint)
I really hope reactivate will be as memorable as WFC
Ooh, that transformation looks _delicious._ I truly adore how coherent they made the alt mode's interior look, even if it ends up being covered by the canopy, anyway.

Here’s hope we get Arcee & Jazz next
I really hope we get jazz
Oh, I’d love an Arcee.
That would be great!
WFC Bluestreak should be used
The camber on the back wheels only happens because you're pushing the shoulders up and slightly out of place when tabbing the feet in. I noticed this on mine, you just have to hold the shoulders in place when tabbing them in and everything lines up fine. 👍
Should be getting this guy and Sunstreaker on Sunday. Nice to see gamer edition getting it together. Hopefully Ironhide is awesome
Great vid!
Am I the only one who thinks it’s funny that ss released a sideswipe and a sunstreaker at the same time

Both Barricade and Sideswipe have ports on their feet, but there have been no upgrade kits for them.
Wait I just saw this guy at target along with ss bee movie sunstreaker
I got him from Walmart a day before he was revealed lol. He’s good enough but I don’t feel much in the way of love or hate.
I use him as my IDW RID Sideswipe though.
Me too
Not too bad. Cannot wait for jazz.

Thank you for the review That Toy Guy. Another transformer in my *I want this in my collection* list.
I really hope this line keeps going past the WFC game, if we could get FOC versions of the characters as well that would be amazing.
Looks like one of the best Gamer Edition figures so far. I do think they probably could’ve used some of the front car bulk to form the feet and clean up the back, though. Looks far more coherent and accurate than Bee or Starscream.
let's go more SS reviews
Love the videos keep it up.
I feel like every gun will work with starscream.
when i played war back in the day i mained him in escalation he was very fun to play as good review
I think the purpose of Gamer Edition (at least for me) was to buy the figures so that you could collect the weapons that came with them (with the exception of Megatron and Starscream), i.e. the Energon battle pistol and plasma cannon that came with Dad Bod Bumblebee/Cliffjumper and the neutron assault rifle that comes with Barricade.
Give us a Gamer Edition Jazz so we can do the fistbump with Cliffjumper, Hasbro!
As a customizer I can’t wait to get my hands on like 3 of these
Sunstreaker from the same wave is waaaay more solid.
We need some of the good old "kibble fix" videos, bc some figures are screaming for it (like this one)
I have this figure along with animated universe optimus prime ordered and on the way, im praying sideswipe arrives tomorrow because of how close he is, also i need help, gamer edition megatron, or starscream? Im looking for more decepticons in my collection as right now its mostly autobots.
If you pay close enough attention to Sideswipe's transformation in the game, his spoiler partsforms on when going into vehicle mode
I really really hope we get a warpath figure... They did him so well in war seriously he was PERFECT and I would be so happy if we got a figure for him
At first I couldn’t stand the transformation, I thought it was annoying and finicky but now having it for a week I adore this thing

The backpack coming of tabs into the gun somewhere or something as a shield

Masterpiece is Done making figures!😭
Really?
Not really. They are rebranding to Transformers MPG which stands for Masterpiece giant. They are still making figures just with a new name.
They’re shifting it to the MPG line, which I don’t get because the MPG line has a horrific reputation right from the get go (just watch any video on the finalised MPG Raiden).
@@Sirdilophosaurusthethird2.0
Fell on your arse out of your mother’s womb I see
@@Sirdilophosaurusthethird2.0 shut up
I actually got my copy today and it has the same problem with the panel not tabbing in to the side of his leg!!!
Ankle tilt can never not be a dealbreaker for me 😢
I'm literally about to get this figure in an hour. I'm so stoked to get him
I like how we have the gamer edition sideswipe and the concept art sunstreaker out together.
Tbh I love the video entries!
imagine i find this guy at walmart rn
I preordered mine on Amazon, it should be here in 3 weeks on Friday.
I think that left leg panel is very common. I've had two of him pass through my home, and both have had that issue
I think that the barricade is too big because they were 'compesating' for the lack of articulation and engineering in the transformation
Nice to see that the legs on your figure isn't noodles. Mine can barely stand.
Now we only need a Soundwave and then we can re-do the boss fight from the second autobot mission of WFC
I just found him at target along with sunstreaker, beast machines cheetor, and sideswipe so I bought sunstreaker
BRO WHY IS EVERYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ANKLES BUT NOT THE LACK OF WRIST SWIVELS??!!!
Cause it's what nitpickers do
Tbh, lack of wrist swivels is 50% expected on modern deluxes. We're used to it, but it's nice when they find a way to include it
@@linkimusprimeproductions7890bro wtf you talking about i can think of like maybe 3 modern deluxes w/o wrist swivels

I'd rather have the ankle tilts than the wrist swivels
I think with the fact that the deluxe weapons look ridiculous on voyager figures, hasbro should make 2 versions of each weapon
finally, good looking wheels!
I love this figure
@@Sirdilophosaurusthethird2.0 : Nerd
now idk which to get
countach sideswipe or this sideswipe
How do you fix the leg pegs not fitting in
BIG CHUNKS OF METAL ON MY FACEEEE
Has your copy got some sort of facial scar a-la Ledger's Joker or is that just the light?
I want Jetfire and the Arialbots.
I would love to see Hasbro make WFC Warpath
I only have GE Starscream but I'm going to be completely honest
I cannot get my hands off it it's so much fun to mess with
Barricade stores his arm
Mines got nice tight tolerances
what local shop do you go to?
Gamer Edition Grimlock, when.
Sunstreck
I mean, I *guess* I can use the legs so that non-wfc guys can hold them, but like. Ew. Very strong opinion, high moon guns should *never* be handheld. Plus with it being a tab and not specifically a 5mm peg I can just ignore it.
I am guessing that BBM SS Sunstreaker is your next review given that you have him.

BB Not great
CJ same issues as BB
Barricade, Stand up man
Megs He's okay, I have had no issues with him, but those knees are odd
Screamer is great, I love that toy
Swipe, looks good, I don't have him yet as they UK Hasbro seems to keep pushing him and his Bro back
I have a feeling DNA will fix his feet but yes hes amazing otherwise
if only the bagpack wasn't as huge
It's such a bad day for Barricade WFC fans. Gamer Edition is getting really good... after they already fucked up my boy
Looking at this I sincerely hope they redo Bruticus for this series. Best Bruticus design, terrible toy. The upgrade kit mostly fixes it, but not *really*.
Praying for gamer grimlock to come out one day 🙏
I ain't religious but I'll pray with you 😭😭😭😭😭
I’m waiting for jazz or a dinobot
Huh, sounds like it's actually a good figure, but it just doesn't look as sci fi futuristic as the classic Bertone designed Lamborghini - the same problem BB Sunstreaker runs into.

His back looks wrong, the position of tyres was different in game- it looked kinda like a tyre backpack or sth.
