As a long time old fart Victory fan, finally having a slavishly G1-accurate version of my fave space chicken to face off against Victory Saber is a dream come true.
@@hobartpaving8986 They had Star Saber/Victory Saber on Hasbro Pulse recently for premium members as part of their vault rereleases. They were in limited supply which I was disappointed about because Star Saber/Victory Saber was only $150 which I would be willing to pay for a figure with everything offered with him.
@@hobartpaving8986 I just wish they would release these as retail releases after a while. It would be cool to own some of these but I don’t have the money they want for it during preorder and when it actually launches it doesn’t last long and is still expensive.
Deathsaurus is a great example of a simple transformer done very well. It doesn’t really do anything terribly interesting or groundbreaking with its transformation. It does, although, have the detail, design, and heft to make it look and feel incredible. More importantly worth the money.
I honestly wish more figures were like this. Don't try to reinvent the wheel or get super facy with the transformation, just make them as solid as possible in both modes and spend the budget on paint apps/details.
Regarding the tiger chest issue, make sure that the rear legs are lined up with the front hips - it should look like a rectangle without any parts sticking too far out or too far up. Once I started doing that on my copy the problems with it tabbing in stopped.
If I recall properly. Deathsaurus was only in command of the decepticons during Victory was because Galvatron got defeated by "THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP" back in Head masters.
Oof! You have my condolences. The average secondary asking price on this guy is like $260+ US right now before shipping I wish you Luck in finding it cheaper. I know how you feel since I have to save up to get a replacement copy for my haslab Unicron that got stolen on me last year along with most of my collection.
@@ZedMazaus480 yikes! I i’m not trying to find one. I’m trying to sell my second copy of death source. I’m mistakenly ordered two and I’m asking a very reasonable price.
@@ZedMazaus480dude I am amazed at the number of people I know and here about getting entire collections swiped. I kid you not I come home its literally one of the things I check on. A lot of people dont realize how much these things can go for. Seen a dude selling earthrise skywarp for 130$ today. Some recent studio series figures? Shockwave? Price will make you cry. Thief's know the value tho apparently
Another small tip to add: This feature does not include in the instruction sheet, but you still can detach the lower triangular tip of both Deathsaurus wings, and use it as a boomerang just like it shown in the Victory anime.
@@JasonX0659 It's easier to see looking at the wings from the back, but right where the rectangular detail is on the inside of the wings, there's a long raised strip where the tip connects to the rest of the wing, you can push on that to detach it. It was a bit of a pain getting back on after I did it, so I'd be careful about it.
Would be something *if* Prime and Meg (Ryan) met on a battlefield, and whined to each other about their respective security issues, to bring up these two headaches of theirs.
I'm so happy they did Deathsaurus, and that they did him properly. A Commander Class would have sufficed but he wouldn't have had as many accessories or paint apps and that'd be a shame. I love that his alt-mode is basically a robot version of something Godzilla would fight, which is a mixture of two things I'm into. I also have the MMC D-Zef Continuum and he's pretty nice but I think the Haslab is actually better. I may keep Haslab in bot mode and D-Zef in Murderchicken mode.
It should have been the other way around, considering Deathsaurus took command after Galvatron and Scorponok both fell. Galvatron in ice by the Autobot Headmasters, and Scorponok (while in powered up black form) by Ginrai (Powermaster Optimus Prime, in super mode).
Havent had a chance to open mine yet, but I still think one of the best parts of this was the post closure bonus tier of the 2 micromasters to complete the team
It felt weirdly good to actually get a hold of a new Transformers figure BEFORE Emgo got his hands on it and put a review out on it honestly. All that aside tho as someone who never had any attachment or interest in the Victory series I have to say this guy might just be my favorite Transformers figure I've gotten my hands on in a long time and he was totally worth the investment!
They could've colored the eyes of the bird better, but it and all D-Saur's mini-cons are cute. The chest tiger looks more like a cute little sphinx. OVERALL, great looking set.
I can’t post the picture but when I had him next to my Conure (small murder parrot) my boys started shouting “TWINNSIES!!” Murder chicken and the murderbird
Poor Megs, he'll never learn! Also, a word of caution for him, don't tick off Deathsaurus, otherwise, he'll transform into his demon chicken form, and unleash his Living Metal Destroying Cannon on him.
About Tigerchest's gold wings: if you press hard enough, the circle area of the plastic will sink in deep enough that it feels like it's permanently attached!
A cannon with claws, that's incredible, I'd call it a "Clawnon". And, can anyone else see the face of Optimus Primal in the chest of him? 1:54 I feel like once it is seen, it cannot be unseen.
Don't feel bad Emgo. Mine has the same issue with the chest minion connection not being very seccure. Otherwise I love this figure, and think they did a much better job on this than they did Victory Saber. And thanks about the tip with the knees. I was wondering what I was doing wrong to get him in the chair. It sucks that he doesn't actually sit in it. I predict a 3rd party upgrade in the future for that.
@@nameforcomments4092 No I don't think that's the issue. It's more like the connection points aren't narrow enough to completely & firmly fit in so one side doesn't become fully flush with the chest. Not to mention it really could have used a locking system of some sort, or at least plug in points to hold firmly. Its hard to describe the type of connection system they used here.
I think there getting better with the micro masters we when from bad transformations and combiner weapons to actually good transformations hope we get more for legacy united
Just so you know. The reason lionbreast may not be staying tabbed in all the way might be how you have his hind legs positioned. Try pulling them out a little bit. While in chest mode have his face facing the floor with his feet flush
Starscream was in the background hidden with a camera filming this to put on Deceptitube called, "Megatron Kissing Deathsaurus' feet" then everyone laughed
Confound it. I wish I had backed this figure. He ran out of the paper cover for toilets ha ha. I was half expecting the demon chicken to store the death canon underneath ha ha.
Get this.. He was up for sale for 180 yesterday on pulse. They sold out in 10 minutes because of their lame members thing. THey also had Haslab unicron up for 570 and it sold out.
theyre selling him for $400 which is insane. On ebay they are going for around 300. Still alot but not as much as TFsource is asking right now@@jonathanwyatt6572
As a long time old fart Victory fan, finally having a slavishly G1-accurate version of my fave space chicken to face off against Victory Saber is a dream come true.
As a fellow long-time old-fart Victory fan, I just wish they weren't both so massively overpriced.
@@hobartpaving8986very true
As a long time old fart Victory fan, i wish there will be a Lio Kaiser soon, be it Legacy, another Haslab project or MPG will do for me.

Fun fact, “Pipo” is the japanese word for the sound of an ambulance siren, so this little guys name is literally “Weewooweewoo”

Yeah, this worked for me too. Took awhile to realize it.
Yup. It was happening to me too with mine. That did the trick.
If I recall properly. Deathsaurus was only in command of the decepticons during Victory was because Galvatron got defeated by "THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP" back in Head masters.
Yeah...that was so dumb...then again, a fitting end for that lunatic.
It has finally arrived and he looks cool! I am so livid that I didn’t get the chance to back this figure from Hasbro Pulse.
I have one to part with if you’re looking. New in its box.

I'd like to know how this works! I've looked over my figure's wings and I don't see how you can detach them!

Deathsaurus hath come... all hail the great giant robot chicken.
Arise, Space Chicken. Arise!
Glad to know that Star Saber AND Deathsaurus enjoy messing with the leaders of their respective fractions.

Gonna admit - the Poppy joke genuinely made me laugh out loud. 😂
EmGO... fitting for Christmas... swinging that flail around... "You'll put an eye out kid."
Something about this guy just takes me back. This feels like something I would have been able to get in 2005 in terms of how quality it looks.
Transformers Universe vibes forsure

The 2 little vehicles are Autobot Micromaster Rescue Patrol.
Woohoo! I’ve been looking forward to this review. Been having a fantastic time playing with mine.
the "your going to kiss my feet" part makes me laugh alot
It should have been the other way around, considering Deathsaurus took command after Galvatron and Scorponok both fell. Galvatron in ice by the Autobot Headmasters, and Scorponok (while in powered up black form) by Ginrai (Powermaster Optimus Prime, in super mode).
After a fiasco where I missed the delivery two days in a row after opening this guy he’s easily my favorite Haslab figure to date.
Seeing this give me hope for a proper liokaiser combiner team (hopefully under a well hood name cause breast force ain’t gonna fly in the west)
Armormasters.
@@cristiantiniguar-sevilla467
Or Maraudercons, according to one comment I saw on the basics on Liokaiser.
With Death Cobra as a stretch goal!
@@electricgecko8997 oohhh I like that kinda of thinking
Crestforce
Got this guy about a week ago, and he just feels like quality like if you told me this was third party, I’d probably believe you
That Box Art is Kewl! Wish this and Victory Saber had a wider release.
Community note: Do NOT ask Deathsaurus why his feet taste like asparagus.
Huh
Emgo I've been watching you for years and you really deserve more than a million subs

Purchase him a cushion for him to sit on the beast mode is definitely a nice looking cockatrice
From what I've seen of Star Saber and this guy the Japanese G1 figures are looking amazing, now I'm praying for a proper go at Liokaiser
You killed me with the caw, sir 😂😂
great job about Haslab DEATHSAURUS Action Figure from Transformers
29:15 “kiss my feet.” LMAO😂😂😂😂😂
I think it is a shame that the wings in particular are not silver in color, the animation model has white lines on them to indicate shininess.
25:00 reason the leg didn't hold was because it wasn't even connected. You need to use force to clip it in.
I am happy i got this figure, will probably take a few months for Europe to get theirs in. I hope Hasbro re-issues Galaxy Shuttle.
I call them Archclaw and Boostwing. Those sound a lot more marketable.
I got mine last week and he’s my toy of the year for 2023😊
They could've colored the eyes of the bird better, but it and all D-Saur's mini-cons are cute. The chest tiger looks more like a cute little sphinx. OVERALL, great looking set.
Really like the new stuff on the video
Oh man I have been waiting for this video. I was scared to put any stress on the lion breast master.
Having gun claws is perfect for the time of the year. Hahahaha...ha...ha? I'll go.
I can definitely see this as a figure for Red Geist from the brave series. Great review btw ^^
Be careful, Mascot might want the throne for himself
I can’t post the picture but when I had him next to my Conure (small murder parrot) my boys started shouting “TWINNSIES!!” Murder chicken and the murderbird
Finally emgo drops the deathsaurus victory load!!!
Great review, thorough as always!
A giant space chicken, though?? Meh...but that is just me.
I agree it does look like a giant murder space robo chicken it is officially a kaijū
It's a cocatrice
Deathsaurus to me seems like he would have suave voice like but can laugh like a joker or someone else, idk why but it just seems that way
He would be the type to have a villan laugh, but a kind of business-man voice
Poor Megs, he'll never learn! Also, a word of caution for him, don't tick off Deathsaurus, otherwise, he'll transform into his demon chicken form, and unleash his Living Metal Destroying Cannon on him.
This Legacy figures, almost came as Masterpiece-ish. Thank you for the review. Can't wait mine to arrive too! 🤗😍
That skit at the end is hilarious.
😂😂😂
I have no ties to him or Star saber but they both are cool just not for me! This is why I love watching you mess with these
Stop Motion animators who have both Victory Saber and Deathsaurus, to your cameras!
Remove the wings, could make an interesting Godzilla crossover.
About Tigerchest's gold wings: if you press hard enough, the circle area of the plastic will sink in deep enough that it feels like it's permanently attached!
Not with my copy
Welcome to Club Deathsaurus Emgo!
A cannon with claws, that's incredible, I'd call it a "Clawnon". And, can anyone else see the face of Optimus Primal in the chest of him? 1:54 I feel like once it is seen, it cannot be unseen.

The lion feet positions probably need some tweaking to help the fit with the chest.

Eagle chest & tiger chest sounds like kung fu techniques.
im sold on the eagle. lol looks so good!
I think there getting better with the micro masters we when from bad transformations and combiner weapons to actually good transformations hope we get more for legacy united
I just got my Kaiju Chicken yesterday.
I'm probably the only one that thinks the transformation and thrown gimmick is similar to King Grimlock. Great villain
Yeeeees this is how I remember my leader and supreme class figures when I was a kid nice chunky hunks of plastic
try holding the plate the legs connect to mine doesnt hold well unless o brace those parts and clip them then it doesnt come out
Just so you know. The reason lionbreast may not be staying tabbed in all the way might be how you have his hind legs positioned. Try pulling them out a little bit. While in chest mode have his face facing the floor with his feet flush
I pulled Tiger Chest's feet just a bit down and had no issue fitting it in the chest compartment securely (with Eagle Chest behind it).
Emgo gettin' all literary up here with the Ray Bradbury references.
The best part about this entire set are the accurate asparagus flavored feet.
Can't believe you didn't stand him up next Liokaiser... You have him. Why run from greatness??
5:28 Nice Boat

nice one and he is great along with star saber

At least he kind of fits on his throne
Why no comparison to the MMC or Planet X Deathsarus? :(
Hey emgo hopping for a dna style kit for the space chicken?
"MEGA ULTRA CHICKEN"!, shush he his legend
The tiger "chest" looks more akin to a dragon
DEATHSAURUS transforms into a Dragon 🐉 mode not into a Murder Chicken. It just sounds hilarious! 😂
So he is basically soundwave but evolved
More like Grimlock to me
Unfortunately didn't get to back this guy so Saber is all alone 😢
And I thought he was going to say tastes like space chicken. 😂
Im so glad I got this but it makes me even more sad that I missed out on Victory Saber. NEED to get him at some point

Now we just need an Esmeral, or Lady Deathsaurus, whichever copyright allows...
In chicken mode he can hold the flail. There are slots on the arms. Looks good to be honest.
HOW DOES IT SCALE WITH Metroplex?
Deathsarus looks good 💯.
you know what. I want to watch a transformers clip but all the gun sounds are replaced with Emgo saying "pew" "bang" or "bloosh" as apropriate
I second that 🙋🏻♂️
Now repaint it red and we got red geist
I have to wait until February for my deathsaurus 😭😭
I bet you have 2 or 3 drawers of blush effects
Super sound wave
I didn't know that they also included the bow and arrow feature, The Cannon and flair look specially terrific, much better than what 3P parties offer.
Yeah nothing is more terrifying than an armed chicken
Hasbro Pulse/Haslab isn't available to everyone internationally....so "good luck" on the aftermarket is all some people actually have
Eagle Chest reminds of TallyHawk from the 80's for some reason
Dragon-chicken thing robot got a cassette. Wonky Japanese transformers.
I wish I could have got this guy and Victory Saber but didn't have the fund at the time😢
Same dude. I might back the next one if it's good
Deathsaurus yes sir😎🤠
