Those african pouched rats they use for eod are really big, but still not heavy enough to set off mines. I remember hearing somewhere that the rat is not only a useful asset for his job, but also acts as a kind of emotional support animal to Tripwire, and she calms his shakiness. Also, less desirable suggestion to shave off all but a tiny bit of the mine pegs so they both lay (almost) flush and stack better on his pack. Great review Bee!
If I pick one up, it's to swap a Jeremy Renner head on it & go "Hurt Locker" come to think of it, I also have a spare Anthony Mackie head from the Cap two pack. 😸
Hearts and Minds is brilliant! Never had Tripwire, was not interested in figure, but when I saw this new improved version quickly changed my mind! Love the rat, I agree that the controller needs an LCD screen and being a dlx figure he could come with an XMLR-3A as well.
That is the most interesting pronunciation of a Scottish name I've ever heard.....the EOD bot is named MacLeod and you managed to make him Greek or something 😂😂..........still don't know why it needed the acronym but.....yea.......we Scottish folk don't get much love from GI Joe classified so for Gods Sake just let us have this one......😂
Can I be the only one that sees a TMNT without its shell looking at this figure? Also, the minimalist paint really makes this appear bland. But thank you for the review! It'll save me some dough.
These deluxe figures are great for the fans that do photography but for me I’ll display him in his classic look and never use any of that other stuff and I’m not a “troop builder” guy ….just the way it goes 🤷🏻
Just curious. I saw a picture or render somewhere where he has the same insignia that is on his shoulder pualdron, underneath as well. That way you can make him look "Classic" by removing the shoulder guards and the leg guards. At least with this "deluxe" set, everything is new sculpt. I don't see any reuse. Which means, another figure had to suffer massive reuse to offset this. It makes you wonder which figure got the "cheap" axe. ;)
Looks cool but I wish the rat had at least 5 points of articulation and the bomb disposal robot had more moving parts. There's a rumor that the robot's name could have been given to the Toy reviewer from Full Force
Love the review. I will say, the design team and obviously their budget are the reason the bot looks and functions the way it does, while the brand writer is the one who is charged with the naming and some aspects of the lore; that person works on more than one brand I believe, but in any case, it's not a zero-sum question of money going to naming and not to development. Two different functions. I agree there isn't nearly enough storytelling with this brand, and that's unfortunate, but at minimum, the new Skybound books are using the Classified designs. So maybe that's the beginning of something more direct.
@@ro-landocalrissian4633yeah it’s bullshit. And we don’t need all those accessories. Just give me the basic figure with his iconic gear and charge the same base price as every figure in the line
So it comes with a bunch of accessories that are terrible that I will never use so they can justify that price point. This is a main character and now hasbro themselves are scalping us. Got it Edit: the black and green is not original. It’s from 2000. The og figure was green and gray like the classified colors
@@beesbattlegroundsOnly the ones who will simp and lie on Hasbro's behalf, in addition to explaining away why HAWK has a colonel's eagle insignia and being totally dismayed at why the funny style JOE fandom didn't like the GLENDA tier reveal on Dragonfly HasLab, Bob.
Ill also add that Quick Kick looks like Joe Dirt, wtf!? Lol. That is one of many terrible looking headsculpts! Then, that trooper (lol) It blows my mind how many people eat this stuff up, but I understand as well since it is Gi Joe. This reminds me of the fanboys that stick up for gridiron studios overpriced 3D printed trash. $15 for a 3d printed fragile gun!? GTFO! Bobby gives you an entire box full of quality for less than (1)! The Retros look great, but for $25+ and weapons that are bent!? Valaverse isn't perfect, but its also levels above the competition regardless of how brash the owner is. After reading comments, I dont blame him for being a dick! 😂
The disposal robot's acronym is pronounced the same as Connor MacLeod from the Highlander series. Think of it as "Muh-Cloud".
Yes, Mac for short.
Hearts and Minds was great! I loved the Cobra “recruits” background. Great collection of stories!

I really enjoy your classified reviews. At the moment you are my favorite classified reviewer. Keep up the good work!
That vest with all the pouches would make a great base for a version 2 Alley Viper. Just add a knife and sheath.

Buy a cool figure to ruin it. Got it
I love how we can do vintage Tripwire, or "Hurt Locker" Tripwire
Hearts and Minds is brilliant! Never had Tripwire, was not interested in figure, but when I saw this new improved version quickly changed my mind! Love the rat, I agree that the controller needs an LCD screen and being a dlx figure he could come with an XMLR-3A as well.
I loved the 3 inch tripwire figure in the 80s. No longer have it sadly. The pact with mines clicking in backpack was a better idea.
The screen for his robot remote is in his augmented reality goggles. 😉
I like this figure, looks pretty realistic, nice review Bobby!
Mac-Lee-odd. 😂
A first-rate review of Tripwire and his awesome accessories!
The only bomb tech I knew had to get out because the stress was to high.
😯 I can't imagine
I got into classified/valaverse super recently to do some Division customs. This guy is gonna work perfect ofr a true sons heavy.
I posted a picture of him as the CoD Juggernaut on my Instagram

I live in New York City, buddy. That's not a big rat. 5:39
Oh I’m sure we are going to get re-releases of every figure in the retro line now that it is not a Walmart exclusive and just part of the line
Can I be the only one that sees a TMNT without its shell looking at this figure?
Also, the minimalist paint really makes this appear bland.
But thank you for the review! It'll save me some dough.
It would be cool if the EOD robot had disrupter attachments as that’s more realistic than the claw
Wow I never knew that he had a pet rat. Great video mate.
These deluxe figures are great for the fans that do photography but for me I’ll display him in his classic look and never use any of that other stuff and I’m not a “troop builder” guy ….just the way it goes 🤷🏻
I removed Tripwire’s arm and thigh armor. Now he looks way closer to his o-ring counterpart.
I did that with my second one, he looks solid
I’ll be sure to do that 👍
You may like or dislike trip wire but the figure is cool the Marmite of the GI Joe team
Thank you😺

Great review! Wonder if the EOD bot will be reused for a future Lightfoot figure???? And still need a Tiger Force version as well.
You know it’s pronounced MicCloud right ? McLeod is (Mic-Cloud). 😂
It's not spelled that way 😂
@@beesbattlegroundsthat's the Scottish for you. They like to spell names differently to how they pronounce them.😁
@@jonathanhampshire6856 so the robot is Scottish? 😂
@@beesbattlegroundsaye laddie. But there can be only one!
rat is a mouse compared to up here in new york lol
😂😂😂
Mary Macloud Bethune. When I heard Mac Lee OW. lol

I am very disappointed that none of the classified series figures come with file cards.
Dude... how do you get all this stuff so early!?
Spending more money than is necessary.
@@ghostman5620 and yet here you are watching them. Who said I paid more?
Pretty sure the robot's name is pronounced Mc-CLOUD, like "I'm Conner McCleod of the clan McCleod" from Highlander.
Wish the claw on the robot was closed enouhh to grip the peg onnthe mine. That wouldve made sense. A mine with a peg is completely useless.
Is this an exclusive fig or is it gonna be available everywhere?
I believe this is a Hasbro Pulse Exclusive
@@beesbattlegrounds that sucks! Thanks man..
@@ro-landocalrissian4633yeah it’s bullshit. And we don’t need all those accessories. Just give me the basic figure with his iconic gear and charge the same base price as every figure in the line
5/7 review 😂😂 broooo 🏆👏🏆
Where did I lose 2 points??
That retroblasting guy hates gi joe classified
McCloud.
Not how it's spelled out 😉
An answer from a low IQ.
Pronounce the following...
Bomb.
Tomb.
Comb.
You cry about how I talk alot, I bet you'd be upset to learn I call shopping carts buggys
My great grandma got so tickled when she visited us and we took her to Walmart and the Greeter asked if she wanted a Buggy.
Oh yo it’s the guy from Desert Rats favorite movie, Hurt Locker!!
😂😂😂

I love what they did with him. But he isn't on my want list.
Like a girl telling you how you're so wonderful and great but...
@@privateprivate31337lol
I think the name of the bot is a nod to Chris who runs the full force channel. Not much more to it really.
So all you tubers get a call out? Interesting
@@beesbattlegrounds I can’t speak to that. I know he’s been a supporter of the brand for years and has relationships with the Joe team.
@@beesbattlegroundsOnly the ones who will simp and lie on Hasbro's behalf, in addition to explaining away why HAWK has a colonel's eagle insignia and being totally dismayed at why the funny style JOE fandom didn't like the GLENDA tier reveal on Dragonfly HasLab, Bob.
It’s pronounced macloud
Who cares about media? Just keep giving me more toys.
It would add more to these characters story and pull in more customers than a bunch of old dudes
@@beesbattlegrounds😂 bunch of old dudes. I resemble that remark! Although I like to think toys keep me young.
@beesbattlegrounds I prefer the term "Well Seasoned."
Don’t remember this character at all !
He was featured pretty solid in the captives of Cobra 2-parter
Aspara might be a Gambian pouched rat. They are huge rats.
