Gotta love the irony that out of the two of these, STARSCREAM'S the one with a waist joint. I love this Starscream solely for the fact that it does a lot of things I've wanted a seeker mould to do for so long and knew it would work. The way the nose cone folds into itself and allows for a waist swivel! About fucking time we get a good Starscream with a proper waist swivel that DOESN'T break the sculpt!
One thing I love when I began to fiddle around with the Starscream figure is the wing articulation. You can have it at different angles to have Starscream emote like how he did in Transformers Prime. A very expressive model
I have a feel this mold may look actually better in the armada colors. Not that the g1 doesnt, It does look good, but I feel that palette may work better
These look really good, well engineered, and articulated. Definitely one of the more interesting/unique alt modes Bumblebee has gotten in recent years. Already have the Optimus Prime and Soundwave preordered for next year and may get these two at a later point. The real question is which game will hit first. Reactivate or GTA 6 given how may delays each has had.
I found the Optimus/Soundwave 2-pack at gamestop a few days ago. Optimus feels like a smaller leader class figure and Soundwave feels like a mcdonalds toy lmao
@@matoro4140 if thats true if they are lucky they might need to remake a few things but if they are not.... thats a lot of work so it could be quite a while
These designs feel so fresh. They're recognizable, but still unique. I'm glad they didn't just go with the Evergreen look for them. I'm beyond sick of that design aesthetic.
Wow, Starscream's chest cockpit actually forms the cockpit for the jet mode! That's something that's weirded me out for a lot of Transformers toys that try to evoke their original look, but have purely decorative duplicate distinctive parts in robot mode that only mimic parts on their vehicle mode. I'm not too much into the Transformers fandom, but I have a distinct feeling there's a name for that sort of thing. Like how every Optimus Prime toy has a robot mode chest that's a windshield and grill but it's usually not the same windshield and grill that's in truck mode.
Oh wow my studio series release of the mold came with the gif pushed passed the top and I though that was normal… till I saw how other your transformation was!!! Thank you so much man!!
Glad to see two really good video game Starscreams released within months of eachother. I got the Gamer Edition WFC Starscream and he’s great, and this looks just as good. Bumblebee looks good too, sucks about the waist swivel but it’s easy for me to look past when all the other figures from Reactivate seem to have everything I want. Hopefully these ship sooner than later.
Yeah looks like a función of those two wich delivers a modern looking g1 starscream and a less strangely proportioned armada starscream. Honestly they should repaint this into the armada color scheme eventually
I've been looking forward to this. I was a little worried how the back would look on Starscream, but it looks like they did a good job. Also love how they handled the cockpit on this one. If it wasn't so close to Christmas I would definitely be getting this now.
Screamer here is almost perfect. Kinda wishing it did more with arms, because they are just out there under the wings, but this is honestly my favorite screamer since they remade the classics one for earthrise.
At most they could have Made them splay out flat to stock under the wings or concave to cover up the undercarriage. But maybe That would've compromised their stability
@@leonake4194 it would also affect the price for a pretty unreasonable feature. They could also make the chest area slide out a bit to fit the arms, but that would make the chest unstable. Overall, the arms don't really look that bad down there to really complain. It's fine.
Sucks we have to wait for next year for news and a new trailer for the game. But I hope they make the other autobots and decepticons characters in the video game into figures.
With that one 3rd party Cybertronian Bumblebee, this makes two Bumblebees released this year without a waist swivel. They're still good toys tho, I want them.
Just to clarify, in production this sort of differently molded pieces do not make something more expensive at all, especially because they already use unique separate molds for both left and right side. Sculpt is just that, sculpt. It doesn’t not add to the cost.
Wait, yes it absolutely does. The parts are all molded into one large sprue tree (like a gundam, or car model kit), and injection molded together. Usually in the same color, except for doal molded colors, but that"s another topic. If any part in that tree is changed, they have to re-machine the metal mold that the plastic is shot into. I imagine that they design the potential remolded parts into smaller trees that can be easily remade. AFAIK, this process in no cheeper than the first time, so it cuts into the figure's profits. It costs thousands to machine a mold like that. *Edit - After watching the full video, I have more context to your comment. You are correct, asymmetry doesn't really effect price (there is more design time, but only a few days of work, not enough to blow the budget). It would only have an effect once we get into remolds, but I think they just eat the cost at that point.
Starscream’s transformation looks very simple and intuitive but also clever. I really like it, kinda reminds me of the T30 Legends, but suitably more complex for the size
Does anyone know if the first step in Bumblebee's transformation is a deep Dafuq?!Boom! (the guy who makes Skibidi Toilets) lore reference? Not commonly known, but our favorite HL2 grandmaster of meme cinema is a TF fan and one of his earliest videos is a TF machinima to the 80's song Take on Me. The pose of the dancing cybertronians is _very_ like BB's 1st step.
I've been thinking about what they said about why starscream is designed like his with the new black parts. And I think I've got it. The transformers in this game are rebuilt/repaired from other bots, yeah? So what if the black parts are from skywarp
man, I was gonna skip these cause I didnt want to start a new collection continuity cause that means im gonna have to buy every mold they release in the future but you are making me rethink that cause those tranaformations are quite different from anything we have seen in the past 5-7 years...damn it
This is exciting, it reminds a lot of what we were seeing from like 2010-2014 of transformers for some reason. More creativity instead of rehashing g1 I guess.
I like the bee design just not as bee, might pick it up in another deco, but this starscream is looking really good. If they release it separately from bee, especially in a more traditional deco ill be all over it, might end up trying to get one loose anyway tbh
Cool, a new Starscream... and he's gone. Gotta love being in a country that has a history of being the Very Last Place on Earth for anything to be released or shipped to.
My first bumblebee, since he came along with screamer. The ease with which you transformed him puts me to shame, though. Lol Really enjoyable set. And still no game yet.
hey man, this is a preetty big if, BUT. do you think you kinda look like the guy in the trailer when hes fixing bee but then it cuts to earth being invaded? y'know, the guy with the goggles? no offence, but you kinda look like that guy. i think youve been featured in the game.
Totally random question but i watched TF Prime today and its got me wondering has any company made a insecticon figure based on this show ? If not WHY thaey need to get on that ASAP but if yes who did it ?
Honestly I thought that the bumblebee was going to be your average “Datsun/movie bee” type transformation, but then I realized the shoulder pads were the front of the car as well, and then my interest was piqued
Starscream kinda feels like a mix of G1 and Armada, and I'm here for it.

I’m hoping they make Skywarp and Thundercracker. The mold would look beautiful in the black and purple paint scheme
I wish they could remold this into a ss86 mold but because of coronation screamer, it probably aint happening
Now thats a transformer video ga,e ixwould buy
Screamers alt mode looks like G1 and Armada had a baby and raised it on TFPrime and i love it.
One thing I love when I began to fiddle around with the Starscream figure is the wing articulation. You can have it at different angles to have Starscream emote like how he did in Transformers Prime. A very expressive model
I love the asymmetrical design for good ol' Screamer.
@@IamWone hail Satan
Love the way Starscream's jet mode looks. A mix of his G1 and Armada appearance, both of which are my favorite Starscream jet modes
I have a feel this mold may look actually better in the armada colors. Not that the g1 doesnt, It does look good, but I feel that palette may work better
@@leonake4194 Heard that there may be some forms of customization, maybe Armada will possibly be a skin

Size of the figures are surprising considering how Hasbro stretched/edited their size with Soundwave.
Excited for the games and the figures regardless
I found the Optimus/Soundwave 2-pack at gamestop a few days ago. Optimus feels like a smaller leader class figure and Soundwave feels like a mcdonalds toy lmao
This dropping the day the game gets delayed is hilarious irony.
Lol
Wait it’s been delayed? Thats hilarious.
Delayed till when?

They're called faux parts
@@rz0rrju273 Thanks for the information! Simple term that makes sense.
For the first time in a while ive seen transformers figures reviewed legally before PvP or Chefatron steal them lollllll
Oh wow my studio series release of the mold came with the gif pushed passed the top and I though that was normal… till I saw how other your transformation was!!! Thank you so much man!!
I was more excited for Starscream due to hjs cook update to his design, and Bumblebee had grown on me the more I saw him.
“Bend the knee, Starscream!”
“NEVER, MEGATRON!”

huge armada vibes from this starscream design, i love it
Yeah looks like a función of those two wich delivers a modern looking g1 starscream and a less strangely proportioned armada starscream. Honestly they should repaint this into the armada color scheme eventually
I think reactivate starscream is gonna end up my stand in for Earthspark Srarscream.
Both these guys look great

If it wasn't so close to Christmas I would definitely be getting this now.
That starscream mold is replacing all my other starscreams, seekers, clones for robot CHUG universe scale.
This games’ designs are so strong. This might be my favorite star scream design ever.

I totally agree with you about this new bumblebee's fantastic designs and details! A very great figure!!!
stop motion shorts with these morphs will be awesome
This feels exactly like something that wouldve come out in like the golden age of tf(2009-2013) and Im loving it
The knees on bumblebee are like dark of the moon bee. Deluxe bee
Starscream and Bumbelfield look awesome
Damn, starscreams transformation honesltly looks fantastic
Hopefully it ends up being used again for a 86 2.0, or a earthspark starscream...
or perhaps animated starscream
Wow the Transformation on both are amazing 😮
Now these, THESE are the proper Earth modes I've been trying to find for my Cybertronian modes.
4:09 where is that gun from?
I got to say, this might be the best Bumblebee has ever looked
4:00 emgo reference
Excellent video. These guys are looking good
16:38 Whose on the right of Bee? Not Sideswipe but this tan truck?
Starscream looks like his Armada version, I like it
Just seeing this Bumblebee with his head raised all the way up when standing truly shows how big his chin piece is
Sucks we have to wait for next year for news and a new trailer for the game. But I hope they make the other autobots and decepticons characters in the video game into figures.
I love how bee's heels end up looking like lil drillers in altmode
With that one 3rd party Cybertronian Bumblebee, this makes two Bumblebees released this year without a waist swivel. They're still good toys tho, I want them.
Love how Starscream looks, surprised how tall both the figures are.
These are like straight out of Generations 2010.
Please, don't let this game be cancelled...

@@neolabcustomsany new costoms any time soon?
They should retool that Starscream into an accurate ss86 one
I cant be the only one who saw starscream's battle damage and thought it was a reference to the tatoos he had in roft
Starscream’s transformation looks very simple and intuitive but also clever. I really like it, kinda reminds me of the T30 Legends, but suitably more complex for the size
I will be honest, they peaked Starscream with that mould
Were did u get that stand u used for star scream?
Damn, what a bunch. I wouldn't be surprised if this Starscream gets retooled for a G1/Evergreen figure.
That starscream figure looks amazing
Primevsprime is crying right now
genuinely this starscream looks so cool. Might have to pick up this two pack just for him
This is what gamer edition should've been holy shit
I can't wait to get mine
Starscream gives me Energon vibes with the asymmetry
I love starscream, hes like a mix of g1 , armada, and rid 2015

Im super into this new Starscream
I wonder if a retool of bee would work as either a movie verse style beachcomber or evac
This is a true Bumblefeel moment
Blue eye starscream? I recall some refer to him as a honourable autobot😂
6:31 so that counts then lol
I've been thinking about what they said about why starscream is designed like his with the new black parts. And I think I've got it.
The transformers in this game are rebuilt/repaired from other bots, yeah? So what if the black parts are from skywarp
I’m holding off in hopes of that Starscream being rereleased as Animated Starscream. Looks just like him for the most part.
@@GH0STST4RSCR34M It might. We’ve already got Prowl. And Optimus is coming next year.
I like both of these. Bumblebee mold looks great I never wanted any of the Camaro Bee's but i like this mold probably be a cool hotshot remold
“pLiece” 2:55
That bee looks more like animated meets ROTB
I underestimated them before,but now,i think that them are very cool
man, I was gonna skip these cause I didnt want to start a new collection continuity cause that means im gonna have to buy every mold they release in the future but you are making me rethink that cause those tranaformations are quite different from anything we have seen in the past 5-7 years...damn it
Or you can just buy the figures you like the most and not have a need to be a completionist for the continuity the figures came from.
Gonna be honest I don’t really care for the bee but it is so tempting to order the pack simply for the Starscream cuz he looks so good
the scrape I heard when you slid Starscream hurt me
Starscream's cockpit transformation reminds me of G1, super glad it isn't a faux part
0.18 trusty'ol ducttape
I’m legit excited for this game, mainly because I love post apocalyptic style transformers. Think scourge and DOTM megatron. That kind of thing.
Do you know what happens to studio series hatchet ?
He is slated for next year
Legacy Animated StarScream Pre-Tool? Think it might me a nice second use for the mold if enough new tooling and paint went into it
This is exciting, it reminds a lot of what we were seeing from like 2010-2014 of transformers for some reason. More creativity instead of rehashing g1 I guess.
i love the bumblebee vehicle mode
Starscream looks killer!
I would love all 3 seekers in this mold with g1 cartoon paint jobs and no battle damage
Tbh I not even a fan of bumblebee, but I have to say this is probably my favorite design for him I might pick this up
These look gorgeous
I like the bee design just not as bee, might pick it up in another deco, but this starscream is looking really good. If they release it separately from bee, especially in a more traditional deco ill be all over it, might end up trying to get one loose anyway tbh

"peg it into the back"
These look great, mine say they are due to ship the 15th and honestly can't wait.

There are several, but as far as I'm aware they can get pretty expensive. Pretty unfortunate, being an army builder and all.
Funny- we just got legacy United figures in aussie land
If they release Starscream w/ symmetrical colours i'll probably get him
Got the Prime and Soundwave set. The Prime is amazing and the Soundwaves proportions are better in person. Cant wait to get Bee and Scream!
Exactly a year after the first teaser, we get the first toys, let’s hope the whole development process isn’t this slow.
I was gonna skip them but i think theyll make good dark future versions of g1 guys.
Honestly I thought that the bumblebee was going to be your average “Datsun/movie bee” type transformation, but then I realized the shoulder pads were the front of the car as well, and then my interest was piqued
Starscream is badass.
