Got Snapdragon about a month ago now and he just hasn't left my desk! I transform him every couple of days and the transformation is fun, I love the dragon mode as it's just super fun! Even if it is the worst mode, that's only because the jet is super clean and slick and the robot is nigh on perfect! He's a voyager. He's a headmaster. He's a triple changer as is the head. He's a 10 for me! Great review Chef
Oh snap! Snapdragon is back! -Yes after the G1 toy era so many years ago, Snapdragon and Knunk returns for the WFC trilogy in Earthrise. Their molded/sculpted details and paint job for both of them are awesome. Side by side with Siege Apeface and Spasma, and the latest incarnations of the headmaster triple charger Horrorcons are complete.
Excellent review and im very liked minded about this one. Especially about the flack others give it. I love all his modes and its an excellent update to his old g1 self.
Must ask where you got the Galvatron? Is he the ‘86 Movie Studio Series? (I can’t tell you how happy I was to read yesterday that Paramount(?) *Does NOT want* BAY involved in any more TF movies or projects! They finally booted the idiot out! IMHO, the best thing Transformers could possibly do is a hard-reboot, set in 1984! It’s a crying shame that 1-2 generations of kids have grown up believing the Michael Bay versions of TF were actual Transformers... 👍
This figure is gorgeous!!! I actually like this figure a lot, I agree with you chef! This is an awesome figure, in between the two I think snapdragon is superior than apeface, defiantly a must have haha!
The Horrorcons are definitely gonna be a part of one of my weekly photoregisters. The CHUG Decepticon army has never looked so good, can't wait for the Coneheads!
I just got this bad boy in today, havin' ordered it from Walmart. The most impressive thing to me is the paint on the visor. It looks like it's paint behind a clear part. It probably ain't, but it sure looks like it, and sure looks great. Trips me out how *LIGHT* he is, though!! Even the Earthrise Optimus mold feels a little bit heavier...and he's definitely a lightweight. And I can totally imagine a *proper* G2 Grimlock repaint of this - whether it's the G1 or G2 color scheme is irrelevant, Grimlock as a Headmaster Triple Changer is a cool idea. 😏😏😏
Eggshellent review, as always! I picked him up today for $17.00 at Walmart ($3 off is still $3 saved!). I was skeptical, didn’t have him as a kid, no nostalgic connection (that’s what keeping receipts is for), but honestly love all forms. Robot mode is a big, hunky brawler with solid torso and limbs, nice head sculpt, Jet mode is nicely done (to me, cooler than Apeface’s by a mile), and don’t tell my Trypticon, but his Dino mode pretty darn decent! He’s obviously no Trypticon, but all considered, a great Triple Changer! (Tip- unless I missed ya mention it) For plugging his headmaster into his Dino-head, I found it WAY EASIER to rotate the Headmaster head 180: clicked in like a dream! I wonder if anyone’s made a Pink Flamingo out of Sky-Lynx’s bird form yet?
I got my apeface weaponized with brunt in bot mode. Turned out very nicely. And I think apeface's jet mode could've done without the beige paint on the cockpit part.
That jet/spaceship reminds me of old cartoon - Starcom :D. Well, this one was my "must-have" since I got my hands on Apeface (it wasn't carved in stone as retailers seemed to skip on final waves of Siege) so no change here. I'd buy him even if he was pile of garbage (which he's fortunately not) just to have both Horrorcons. I wonder if Hasbro has plans to complete the set of all 6 classic triple changers within WfC Trilogy - time is running out and it seems Kingdom might mainly focus on BW characters rather than G1... I'd love to see new Blitzwing/Octane/Sandstorm which would scale properly with WfC voyagers (I don't really care about Broadside, I know, he's Wrecker, so he'd be nice addition, but...). Once/if you get ER Bumblebee please see if he can swap "shield" part with Cliffjumper in vehicle mode :).
yes perhaps! i think you're right :-) oh definitely happy safe hunting bro! oh, is it true that hasbro takara tomy are repacking both these horrorcons in a 2-pack for WFC Kingdom?
@chefatron Thanks, though I have Snapdragon sort of pre-ordered so probably I'll get mine sooner or later :). Unless that online store where I have placed pre-order will bankrupt or sky falls on our heads (poor Asterix joke here). I didn't know about that repack, if it's true, it would give second chance to get Apeface for those who were less lucky than I was (you may remember my Apeface purchase was pure fluke :D), which is nice thing. Though so numerous repacks (Astrotrain, Smashdown, Micromaster Battle Squad, Rung, even Siege Skywarp which gets re-released as Takara Mall Exclusive) are are a bit suspicious. I'm glad that Bluestreak will be regular release this time (judging by the box), I may be lucky enough to get all Datsun Autobots this time (I even put a pre-orser at Amazon for that Prowl/Ironhide set (which is the thing I normally don't do - shipping costs and customs fees make purchases beyond $20 very not cost-effective), they don't charge in advance for pre-orders, so I may cancel it if anything goes wrong).
His dinodragon mode doesn't bother me in person. Also if you leave the headmaster hands down at his side. The dragon mouth looks a bit better. I only wish the dragon eyes we painted.. bte thanks for the review!!
same. interesting, thanks for the tip! yes, i noticed the eyes looked a bit small. some paint apps would have made them look better. no prob :-) thanks!
@@godzillaguy5467 didn't turn out that way in hand look at box and instructions. I have it. Originally shown to be a Mercenary at New York Toy Fair 2020, Snapdragon was released in Decepticon themed packaging
Snap dragon is better no scuffing, better white/grey color. His jet mode is much nicer and his transformation is better. I love them both together and they look good side by side with scorponok and the other head masters.
Sold. Kinda pricy now but going to get them for Christmas. Never watch them in the cartoons though. Always been TF S1/S2 when I was a kid. I just want fresh take transformers. Really bored on the standard Optimus Prime or other S1/S2 characters now that I'm older.
wow! I hope you get them soon! yeah, I don't really recall seeing these triple changers in the cartoons, but I do remember the toys and I wanted them so badly, but I couldn't get them...
@chefatron i think season 3 was not aired that time when I was a kid. It's always reruns of S1 and random episodes of 1 and 2. We rarely went to the toy stores when I was a kid. Hardly remember what transformers are there, but Grimlock is what I got when I was a kid. My brother was Snarl.
@chefatron sadly not. My mom gave away our toys to our younger cousins in the province by mistake. It got mixed up. That's the reason why me and my brothers are collectors now.
Between this guy and ss cliff I go back to your videos a lot just to see someone enjoy a figure I feel like people forgot
indeed! thanks so much bro :-)

I love it! Another great review! I can't wait for my Amazon order to come in so Apeface will have his brother-in-arms!!!

thanks so much bro! oh yeah definitely, this one's really grown on me
I love this figure, but I have notice that everyone forgets to form the scales at the bend of the tail in dino mode.
awesome
oh? which scales are these?
@@chefatron the scales are located at the bottom of the tip of snapdragon's nose cone in jet mode and tip of tail in dragon mode.l
@@robbievanhorn1479 i see... thanks for the tip, man :-)

i know right???!!! definitely, and snapdragon is more enjoyable as a toy
thanks so much bro :-)
chefatron any time!
The Horrorcons are definitely gonna be a part of one of my weekly photoregisters. The CHUG Decepticon army has never looked so good, can't wait for the Coneheads!
awesome ! i myself didn't think i'd like them this much
Been playing & collecting since ‘84; could someone please tell me what “chug” means? Lol! I never figured it out!
@@sideswipe1261 CHUGs are the modern takes on G1-styled Transformers, especifically from the Classics, Henkei, Universe and Generations toy lines.
I was wandering that too. How does CHUG come from that?
Never mind. I see it.
Man I hope I find and get this figure. I had the original as kid so this one is a must have for me.
happy safe hunting bro! i'm sure you'll find one :-)

Snapdragon..the dragon that will snap you in half... too dark?
He mauled Daniel in G1 so it definitely fits!
hahaha :-)
Awesome!!
I hated Daniel! Lol
Jet mode looks cool. SR-71 vibes..
oh yes definitely !
Epic review Chefatron!!!!!! :D Snapdragon is slightly better, I enjoy having both Horrorcons. :D Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D
thanks so much bro, as always :-)
indeed!
@@chefatron You're welcome. :D
Just got mine today, he's awesome and I have apeface as well and they are partners in crime
congrats on the haul!
I've been saying this on every review for this figure but he reminds me of Overlord.
yes, now that you mention it... he does look a bit like him...
@@chefatron Maybe they can retool him into an IDW Overlord. Although he couldn't combine with a tank.
@@legoawcstopmotioner9435 yes, perhaps....

Great review bro!! Snapdragon is better than Apeface! I am getting mine (which is booked) at the end of the month. 😃
thanks so much bro :-) as always

@@BryBry2ply cool thanks!
Cool video ✌😎
thanks :-)
His jet mode looks like X-men blackbird
yes it kinda does !
He's a mercenary mate
No it is a decepticon your thinking Double dealer
Joseph Lepkowski no he’s a mercenary it was shown he is back when he was revealed for the first time

oh definitely ! man, i missed doing a size comparison with both terrorcons when i did my Scorponok review...
Hasbro will Re-release Both Apeface and Snapdragon in a Horrorcon Pack for a War for Cybertron Trilogy: Kingdom.
whoa!!! really? will they have slightly different paint apps?
Sold. Kinda pricy now but going to get them for Christmas. Never watch them in the cartoons though. Always been TF S1/S2 when I was a kid.

@@strangeapprentice NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! that was gold she gave away 😢
This looks nice 😁✌️✌️✌️😁✌️😄😀👍
indeed !
I know what Zoid. Snapdragon looks like a Genosaur
For now I'll skipp it. Maybe later. The dino mode is the weakest form.
10:36 ain't that the truth!
hahahaha :-)

perhaps
Make me snapdragon
