Mitch your part of the reason I got into this series with your original throwback thursdays years ago, and I just have to say your the best and keep up the great videos!
Thank you so much for letting me take part! You deserve massive kudos for this colossal edit, there is no simple way to assemble something on this scale and I hope you all appreciate how much work Doc put into this thing on nearly every level
it really is. This is the collaboration of all time, and I'm all here for. From Perspective to JCC, it's amazing seeing everyone here just loving transformers. It reminds me of a cut down version of TFCon's social element
I was glad to see you in here, but sorry as I forgot about your channel. NGL, its been many years since I first found your videos as a child. RotF Ice-cream Skids & Mudflap comes to mind...
the fact that we can't see the video length makes it so funny and exiting, will it be 30 minutes of quick reviews? 1 hours of small reviews? or 286 hours of DrLockdown reviews?? Who knows?? can't wait.
Congratulations on 8 years, and congrats on finishing this behemoth. It's insane to see how far you've come as a creator and a person in these last 8 years. I'm honored to have been able to assist in this , and to share a bit of my love for WFC alongside so many pillars of this community. WFC is what got me back into Transformers, and I'm still going back and picking up figures that I missed, and I'm sure this video will only inspire me to track down a few more...
I don't know if this has already been said, but the reason for soundblaster's double cassette storage is because when the original toy was released in Japan, it had the double cassette storage gimmick
@@TheFallen-ff4xn i take it as a bit of an experiment on how far they could take partsforming on figures. Cliffjumper had it too, but it still transformed and had its reasons (wayyy too small for a hinge back there), but arcee? SHE DOESNT EVEN TRANSFORM!!! that sucks ass! Removing it makes for a better figure, but not for a better transformer.
The WFC Trilogy will be remembered for ages to come, this line alone has defined mainline for the time being, from the chunk-based transformation style, to the attention to detail, and most of all the way it pulled us out of the flaws of the lines that came before it, I may have only started my journey in the middle of Kingdom, but the stories that I've heard from collectors have helped me to truly understand how WFC impacted a community, as well as a company. And now, people will be able to turn to this video and see everything laid clear, thank you for that, Dr. Lockdown. This trilogy will go down in Transformers history as the turning point of mainline.
The WFC Trilogy was my reintroduction to Transformers collecting. I was a jaded teenager who thought he was too old for silly, plastic playthings, and only watched the movies solely because of all the shooty-shooty-bang-bang action. But something about seeing Sideswipe on a peg during a random stroll down the Wal-Mart action figure isle just...clicked with me. I figured, what the heck, I have a job now, I'm earning my own money, I'm gonna spend it. I took him home, opened him up, started playing with him...and I felt like a little kid again. The transformation blew me away, with how simple yet engaging it was. The posing was so tactile and seamless, every pose I got him in made him look like he was bold and ready for action! I thought, damn! What have I been missing all this time?! Soon after, I got Hound, then Megatron, Starscream, cel-shaded Optimus, Grapple (R.I.P. right peg), Apeface and Snapdragon; the list goes on. And almost every figure I bought sunk me deeper and deeper into Transformers fanhood, as well as collecting as a whole. I got the G1 movie and the complete G1 cartoon series, watched it all start to finish (screw "season" 4), went to comic book stores to scope out toys that were inexplicably absent from mainstream shelves, and soon amassed whole armies of plastic robot soldiers, ranging from G1 Beachcomber all the way up to Legacy Armada Starscream. And it all started with Sideswipe back in 2019. If not for him, I wouldn't be half the Transformers fan I am today. He, along with most of all the WFC trilogy, opened the door to a whole part of the franchise I had never explored before. And I couldn't be a prouder, more thankful fan.
After rewatching this the second time due to the unstoppable force of autism, I would like to thank you Doc, as well as everyone in this great fandom. I really cannot express my love for this franchise which doesn't come from my nostalgia or any media, but what's happening here and now and the amazing people behind as well in the fandom. I adore how You treat every figure as an art piece in itself, which is exactly my relationship with my collection. I sincirely want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the most inspiring person I ever came across, honestly my biggest dream is to meet you in person. Thank you, all creators in this video and everyone who may stumble upon this stupid pack of words that doesn't even express all my feeling written by a 15 year old lad on the verge of tears. Together, you all form this amazing community that I hope remains even a hundred years from now when I will be no more.
This video was full of so many special guests, they're actually almost completely overshadowing everything else for me! And i mean that in a sincere way. The moment Gei4Mei made an appearance, i knew i was in for a ride, and i was so pleasantly surprised to see Wildwheel's Hat and DecepticonAiden in there! That being said, this video was a ride and a half! It took me nearly half the day to watch it all, but I'm glad i did and im happy to see you come this far. Even though i had only heard about you more recently, youve quickly grown into one of my favourite TF TH-camrs. All i can i say is, i can't wait for Doctor Lockdown to review all the Lockdown figures.
The whole statement of buying multiple pipes/huffers almost feels like a callout post. I'm forced to admit I went out of my way to get a customized kingdom huffer as movie armorhide...
This is by far your greatest video yet, and it's one of the most important videos in the transformers reviewer niche. It was such a treat to see all of my fav reviewers come together like it's some sort of transformers avengers collab
Was not expecting a entire recreation of Heavy is Dead lmao, but one good thing that AU Optimus has is that it's a good base to start an Earthrise Nemesis repaint, which I plan to do after I get everything I need for it, will be my first custom I will do, but hopefully it will go well, any tips?
this guy is a madman, it's now official. Congrats Dr, on 8 years! I won't have time unfortunately to watch the premiere that is currently going on, but to anyone in there, enjoy! I'll watch this probably after school
Absolutely blown away by this massive crossover for tons of People I still watch and used to watch, its great seeing a few people and be like "OH I REMEMBER YOU!!!" You really knocked it outta the park!
If you think the siege seeker mold has a lot of repaints you should see all of the extra ones I've done and plan to do. Best thing about them is? THEY'RE AWESOME Also the "grey wash" on Netflix sideswipe isn't actually a wash, he's cast in grey and painted red to my dismay, as I found out with my red alert as well (and the blue one)
Man, what a journey its been. I remember hopping on this train at the menasor month compilation, and I have no regrets. It was fun seeing you tear into some figs, praise others, and even open my eyes to some notes on figs i never even considered. Here’s to 8 more years!
This video was an utter triumph. I clicked on it for the nostalgia, but the cameos from so many community members, from the well established to the not so known to me (I'll be dropping quite a few subs after this) this was such a special project. Congrats on 8 years dude! Heres to many, many more!
I gather there won’t be a Legiondary Marathon this year due to this absolute behemoth of a video, but frankly, it is a worthy sacrifice. Congrats on 8 years. Here’s to however many more you want.
20:52 YES!!!!! Finally seeing the mental image created by Scorponok's Worst of the Year entry realized... All I can say is "Never in my life have I needed something so much, and never known until I received it." I guess you could say he's another entry in a Little Shop of (Engineering) Horrors?
This is the most ambitious toy review I have ever watched. 4 hours of amazing content and I loved it that you got so many reviewers from my childhood, seriously SEAN LONG AND MITCHSANTONA?!!!! THOSE TWO WERE LEGENDS IN MY CHILDHOOD!!!! This is the best thing I've watched and the End product is legitimately legendary, amazing work Doctor, my hat's forever off two you. You honestly, in my eyes, gained your spot within the Pantheon of great Toy Reviewers. Right in the S-Tier with Emgo, MitchSantona, Sean Long, Baltmatrix, Thew Adams, Peaugh, Vangelus, ShartimusPrime, Optibotimus, JobbytheHong, PrimeVsPrime, and ThatToyGuy. Congrats on 8 years, and here's to another great year!!
This is like the smash ultimate of transformers reviewers. Congrats on the 8 years, I’ve been around for at least 5 of them and loved every last one of them
Congrats on 8 years and thanks for all the hard work. So many amazing cameos! Thanks for all the hard work. I was super surprised at where Netflix spoiler Nemesis ended up, I’d have thought he was closer to siege prime.
This was one of you best videos @drlockdown. I loved every moment of it, from the cameos, to the analysis to chat it was a wonderful experience. It also reinvigorated my love for getting these figures too. I collect them for fun and the characters I love, so thanks. For my top 5 (im not ranking them all) I'd probably go 5 Deep Cover, for a wicked color scheme. 4. Cyclonus, for his brillinat Transformation and general love for the character from MTMTE 3. Shockwave, for his play value and general quality 2. Siege Optimus, as he's my favorite Transformers Character of all time and I love the colors and general feel of the toy 1. Airazor. She brings back a lot of memories for me and is overall a great toy. You Rock!
I loved seeing all (most) of the cameos of people talk about a figure that they cared about and hear them gush about them. I was really excited to see perspectiveend. Sadly, no emgo cameo, but it's totally fine, especially since he does do opinion based content. A great video and I appreciate the work you put into it, hope to see more of your videos soon!
Having seen the segment on Earthrise Starscream, I have two questions. 1. What were your initial thoughts when Nacelle was revealed to be a Siege Tetrajet retool rather than an Earthrise F-15 retool, were you surprised with this decision or not? 2. Based off of the images and footage we have so far, how does Reactivate Starscream fair against against the Earthrise Seeker mold, as well as the SS Bumblebee Seekers, Core Class Seekers, and Siege Tetrajets?
This is like my 4th time watching this video from start to end and man is this commendable. I mean... I've been procrastinating about making one review for weeks and this man just comes and makes a full on list with the whole trilogy, fucking awesome man, one of, if not the best reviewer in the whole site!
@@DrLockdown I've been trying to top off my "G1 Autobot" set. Problem is, Hasbro seems to have some kind of problem with re-doing Gears. Autobots I'm missing are Jazz, Mirage, Prowl, Bluestreak and Hound. I didn't really like the Datsun mold, the legs are too hollow and those rotating flaps provide only minimal cover...
As a base, I think the Netflix Prime is weaker than the Earthrise. However after adding the black Nemesis trailer and some reprolabels, it makes an absolutely incredible G2 Comic Prime that I 100% believe surpasses the Earthrise. The Earthrise mould (while not as good as Siege Prime) is decent, but I don’t think it works for G1 Optimus at all, especially when so much of the colour has been replaced with dull grey, and the proportions are all wrong. Being a G2 Comic Prime, the jank proportions of the mould actually suit the Netflix version really well. P.S. I also greatly prefer Siege Soundwave to the Netflix. Yes the space barge is weird, but all the Netflix had to do was be a box and it couldn’t even do that without having weird gaps and lumps and kibble and faux forming. It should be the easiest alt mode in all of transformers to do, why was it so compromised?
Wow, just...wow. What a colossal effort, Kudos, Dr. Lockdown, you outdid yourself with this one, pretty much every TF TH-camr is here and the couple missing I already saw where invited but couldn't make it, what an ambitious project, it's even inspirational, makes me wanna stop putting up excuses and actually make some content myself so maybe someday I can be a part of something like this.
Genuinely so happy to see someone else who loves siege ultra magnus so much. Every time I see him on my shelf I can’t help but smile and want to mess with him again. Amazing job on the video and keep up the great work!
Amazing work sir!!! I’m absolutely astonished you could gather sooo many tubers and do all the entire line! Think you may have created something special here, I’m talking legendary status! Bet you do another “full line” in a few years!! 😜
This massive video is great when at work. Just hearing a fan and his friends/colleagues talk about a thing they're passionate about is...satisfying? Relaxing? I'm not sure what the word would be, but it just gives me a bit of energy and good feelings.
No. I didn't forget. He even shows up in the video. I made the conscious decision not to include Takara-only releases, like that and Takara selects. It's why you don't see Super Megatron show up either. I explain right at the beginning
Ok Doc Loc, you have come up with a quite impressive video here. You have imo made the most extensive and thorough run down of an entire 3 year ark, which happens to be the most influencial and revolutionary trilogy since G1 hit the states. Also, the little bit of help you had, doesn't come off as you lightening your load, so much as a series of cameos by other great influincers from fthe whole world. While I was absolutely stunned that the number 1 on this list, is the doner mold for my custom painted Siege Skywarp, I tended to look on the moldmates as one figure, where I determined the highest ranked individual rep of a single mold, was the mold's placement in general, which imo is a great way to look at it. I have some issues with some placement, where I feel that the top 3 all deserve to be the top 3, but not exactly in that order. Cyclonus, is going to hold a special place for me, since, he is the figure I saw at Walmart that made me literally yell "WTF" on the toy aisle, and forget to buy the birthday gift I was there to get for my grandson lol. He started my obsession, and now, however many years later,, 2 or 3, and 250ish figures later, I'm addicted. This has to be one of the BEST transformers videos EVER made! It's up there with the 3 part retrospective, and a few very special others. Kudos to the max doc lock!! And I don't have enough time in my day to shout out all of the voices I heard here, that I consider to be friends of mine, in our joint addiction to plastic.
Congrats a such a huge collab video! Vangelus directed us here...Was excited to see his and Peaugh's entries in particular ^^ (I too love Inferno, but I also love Beast Megatron, THUS love T. Wrecks as well! Yesssss!)
2:40:10 Crosshairs was my first Siege figure and he’s my absolute favorite, hands down. He’s really simple compared to others in my collection, but I appreciate the fact he brought back a niche character design and did him so much justice. You could’ve told me that the mold was made for Crosshairs and I would’ve believed you. The head is my favorite part, because it brought back the original head from the cartoon, comics, and other iterations. I only wish that he came with his OG targetmaster partner Pinpointer, instead of them being separate. Oh well 😔
As a lesbian who loves Flamewar for Totally Non lesbian reasons.. I do think She should be more popular and have a new figure available so I can buy her please hasbro.
Jesus,you didn't joke that it will be this long. Great review with fun database aspect to it. I can sense a SS86 Oprimus vs Earthrise vs Siege video next year.
And I disagree with Combat Megatron, it was one of the better usues of that shitty mold and Sixgun was fun, even more when combined with new Armada OP.
@@dustinarmstrong1168 Couldn't be happier to have that be the case nowadays. Loving all the unique body types and conversions. It's like they're actual Transformers now!
I actually liked Pteraxadon... until his handle got stuck in one of my figures hands, and I had to shave/cut part of it off just to get him out. Happy Anniversary, Doc!
I Started Full on Collecting since 2019, back when I first saw Starscream and Soundwave on a Walmart Shelf. I ended up picking up Starscream, and it blew me away. I hadn't seen any reviews of the figure, and the last figure I picked up was Studio Series Cogman back in early 2019, so I was holy impressed with the figure. I then picked up Siege Megatron, then Siege Optimus, then Siege Bluestreak, then The Alphastrike Counterforce, and then it just grew and grew from there. Most of my favorite figures ARE from this Trilogy, so I should have to thank this Trilogy for basically bringing me back full force into the Transformers Fandom after dipping during The Last Knight, and started collecting Lego.
That was worth it. Awesome guests!!!!! My guys The Sheepwielder, Diamondbolt, Theorymus and more with you in one vid about ranking the WFC toyline?!?!?! *Yes please!!!!!!*
Kingdom Cyclonus hasn't left my desk since I got him. He's just so damn good, even if I'm not messing with it, just looking at it, and thinking about the figure is always a good time! He's my pick for best of the trilogy!
I still have my Netflix hound since I got him only a few weeks after I got the regular version. I saw the reports of the neck breakage issue only a few hours of I purchased netflix hound. I used an extra sharp scalpel and cut the head down the seem since it wasn't glued properly and through that, I found out his inner neck was painted on my copy.
Holy moly this is gonna be an awesome ride! Believe me when I say as a long time Transformers fan and collector I will watch every second of this vid and probably will rewatch it over and over in the future😂 great work man keep it up!
I have been watching this between shifts at work and uni work, but it was worth it. This is one of my favourite videos I have seen this year. And being mentioned in the Blackarachnia section? My favourite character from anything ever? Thank you so much
41:04 I wanted a bumblebee for my collection so I got this one because Amazon said it was 5 inches (I was looking for a taller one even though it’s actually like 3) and I’m not even kidding it was $100 for a crap figure.
Wonderful job with this video all around. What an accomplishment this was for the fandom, and seeing other creators I recognized made it that much more meaningful.

"The Prime is dead!"
Seeing it was NOT in my bingo card
This project was so much fun to be a part of! Rotorstorm wasn't exactly my first pick, but coming back to them, they were gems out of the Siege line.

Like many I had no interest in that Arcee but I have to respect the boldness.

Greatest crossover of the history of TF reviews. You're truly make history here Lockdown
The WFC Trilogy will be remembered for ages to come, this line alone has defined mainline for the time being, from the chunk-based transformation style, to the attention to detail, and most of all the way it pulled us out of the flaws of the lines that came before it, I may have only started my journey in the middle of Kingdom, but the stories that I've heard from collectors have helped me to truly understand how WFC impacted a community, as well as a company.
And now, people will be able to turn to this video and see everything laid clear, thank you for that, Dr. Lockdown.
This trilogy will go down in Transformers history as the turning point of mainline.
The WFC Trilogy was my reintroduction to Transformers collecting. I was a jaded teenager who thought he was too old for silly, plastic playthings, and only watched the movies solely because of all the shooty-shooty-bang-bang action. But something about seeing Sideswipe on a peg during a random stroll down the Wal-Mart action figure isle just...clicked with me. I figured, what the heck, I have a job now, I'm earning my own money, I'm gonna spend it. I took him home, opened him up, started playing with him...and I felt like a little kid again. The transformation blew me away, with how simple yet engaging it was. The posing was so tactile and seamless, every pose I got him in made him look like he was bold and ready for action! I thought, damn! What have I been missing all this time?! Soon after, I got Hound, then Megatron, Starscream, cel-shaded Optimus, Grapple (R.I.P. right peg), Apeface and Snapdragon; the list goes on. And almost every figure I bought sunk me deeper and deeper into Transformers fanhood, as well as collecting as a whole. I got the G1 movie and the complete G1 cartoon series, watched it all start to finish (screw "season" 4), went to comic book stores to scope out toys that were inexplicably absent from mainstream shelves, and soon amassed whole armies of plastic robot soldiers, ranging from G1 Beachcomber all the way up to Legacy Armada Starscream.
And it all started with Sideswipe back in 2019. If not for him, I wouldn't be half the Transformers fan I am today. He, along with most of all the WFC trilogy, opened the door to a whole part of the franchise I had never explored before.
And I couldn't be a prouder, more thankful fan.
After rewatching this the second time due to the unstoppable force of autism, I would like to thank you Doc, as well as everyone in this great fandom. I really cannot express my love for this franchise which doesn't come from my nostalgia or any media, but what's happening here and now and the amazing people behind as well in the fandom. I adore how You treat every figure as an art piece in itself, which is exactly my relationship with my collection. I sincirely want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the most inspiring person I ever came across, honestly my biggest dream is to meet you in person. Thank you, all creators in this video and everyone who may stumble upon this stupid pack of words that doesn't even express all my feeling written by a 15 year old lad on the verge of tears. Together, you all form this amazing community that I hope remains even a hundred years from now when I will be no more.
This video was full of so many special guests, they're actually almost completely overshadowing everything else for me! And i mean that in a sincere way.
The moment Gei4Mei made an appearance, i knew i was in for a ride, and i was so pleasantly surprised to see Wildwheel's Hat and DecepticonAiden in there!
That being said, this video was a ride and a half! It took me nearly half the day to watch it all, but I'm glad i did and im happy to see you come this far. Even though i had only heard about you more recently, youve quickly grown into one of my favourite TF TH-camrs.
All i can i say is, i can't wait for Doctor Lockdown to review all the Lockdown figures.
Haha. Nah I don't even want all the lockdown figures.
Lockdown ain't my favourite character. Never was.

The whole statement of buying multiple pipes/huffers almost feels like a callout post. I'm forced to admit I went out of my way to get a customized kingdom huffer as movie armorhide...
This is by far your greatest video yet, and it's one of the most important videos in the transformers reviewer niche. It was such a treat to see all of my fav reviewers come together like it's some sort of transformers avengers collab
Was not expecting a entire recreation of Heavy is Dead lmao, but one good thing that AU Optimus has is that it's a good base to start an Earthrise Nemesis repaint, which I plan to do after I get everything I need for it, will be my first custom I will do, but hopefully it will go well, any tips?
this guy is a madman, it's now official. Congrats Dr, on 8 years! I won't have time unfortunately to watch the premiere that is currently going on, but to anyone in there, enjoy! I'll watch this probably after school
Lmao me neither. Caught two hours, but I had to go to work.
@@DrLockdown best of luck mate!
Absolutely blown away by this massive crossover for tons of People I still watch and used to watch, its great seeing a few people and be like "OH I REMEMBER YOU!!!"
You really knocked it outta the park!
This is an avengers end game level of crossover and just as epic. Wow. Congratulations on 8 years Dr Lockdown. Cheers for many more years.
Congrats Doc, this was an amazing watch, great to see so many faces and voices throughout. Amazing work and look forward to what comes next!
Wow, a whole 4 hour video for the Channel’s 8th anniversary, definitely worth the wait! Thank you so much Dr. Lockdown!
It's so cool how many Transformers TH-camrs were in this, It's amazing how far this channel has come
If you think the siege seeker mold has a lot of repaints you should see all of the extra ones I've done and plan to do. Best thing about them is? THEY'RE AWESOME
Also the "grey wash" on Netflix sideswipe isn't actually a wash, he's cast in grey and painted red to my dismay, as I found out with my red alert as well (and the blue one)
Dang this is massive; gonna watch in multiple sittings. Thanks for all your effort, happy anniversary, hope you're having a good day
I love the “the heavy is dead” bit. Got a good chuckle out of me.
Man, what a journey its been. I remember hopping on this train at the menasor month compilation, and I have no regrets. It was fun seeing you tear into some figs, praise others, and even open my eyes to some notes on figs i never even considered. Here’s to 8 more years!
BOOM! IT"S ME WARPATH! Yes, kingdom Warpath is probably my favorite WFC figure because of my love of the character and how good thing is.
Same
This video was an utter triumph. I clicked on it for the nostalgia, but the cameos from so many community members, from the well established to the not so known to me (I'll be dropping quite a few subs after this) this was such a special project. Congrats on 8 years dude! Heres to many, many more!
I gather there won’t be a Legiondary Marathon this year due to this absolute behemoth of a video, but frankly, it is a worthy sacrifice. Congrats on 8 years. Here’s to however many more you want.
Was NOT expecting the “the heavy is dead” remake. Phenomenal
20:52 YES!!!!! Finally seeing the mental image created by Scorponok's Worst of the Year entry realized... All I can say is "Never in my life have I needed something so much, and never known until I received it."
I guess you could say he's another entry in a Little Shop of (Engineering) Horrors?
To be fair Soundblaster is based on the G1 toy having the 2 sized cassette holder
This is the most ambitious toy review I have ever watched. 4 hours of amazing content and I loved it that you got so many reviewers from my childhood, seriously SEAN LONG AND MITCHSANTONA?!!!! THOSE TWO WERE LEGENDS IN MY CHILDHOOD!!!!
This is the best thing I've watched and the End product is legitimately legendary, amazing work Doctor, my hat's forever off two you. You honestly, in my eyes, gained your spot within the Pantheon of great Toy Reviewers.
Right in the S-Tier with Emgo,
MitchSantona, Sean Long, Baltmatrix, Thew Adams, Peaugh, Vangelus, ShartimusPrime, Optibotimus, JobbytheHong, PrimeVsPrime, and ThatToyGuy.
Congrats on 8 years, and here's to another great year!!
Thank you so much for this, Doc. I very much appreciate all the effort (and money) it took to make this video possible. Aloha!
Haha not a lot of money actually. You'll notice I've credited a few people in the credits. Everything I didn't have, I used their copies.
19:07 the nutshot for one of my favorite childhood toys
55:55 was there really a trademark on “Large Father?” -Thew Adams
This is like the smash ultimate of transformers reviewers. Congrats on the 8 years, I’ve been around for at least 5 of them and loved every last one of them
Cyclonus: OIM RILLY FEELIN' IT!!! BACKSLASH!!!
Punch: *_nope_*
Cyclonus: 0: _OH NO_
10:41 This review actually makes me want an Earthrise Arcee, and I no longer think it is a bad figure 😂
That was an amazing video, dude. Thank you for the awesome content over the last 8 years, and here's to many more.
Congrats on 8 years and thanks for all the hard work. So many amazing cameos! Thanks for all the hard work.
I was super surprised at where Netflix spoiler Nemesis ended up, I’d have thought he was closer to siege prime.
I don't like the lack of turquoise. Would've gone into detail, but primal took the listing
@@DrLockdown Thanks for the explanation, that’s understandable. I really love that figure… I actually got the nonnef kit for the trailer.
The trailer rocks. I actually purchased the trailer separately for my SG version

@@Cassette-Cryptid are you still working on it
Why do I feel like I'm watching the home shopping network? Lol. For everyone involved great video.
This was one of you best videos @drlockdown. I loved every moment of it, from the cameos, to the analysis to chat it was a wonderful experience.
It also reinvigorated my love for getting these figures too. I collect them for fun and the characters I love, so thanks.
For my top 5 (im not ranking them all) I'd probably go
5 Deep Cover, for a wicked color scheme.
4. Cyclonus, for his brillinat Transformation and general love for the character from MTMTE
3. Shockwave, for his play value and general quality
2. Siege Optimus, as he's my favorite Transformers Character of all time and I love the colors and general feel of the toy
1. Airazor. She brings back a lot of memories for me and is overall a great toy.
You Rock!
I loved seeing all (most) of the cameos of people talk about a figure that they cared about and hear them gush about them. I was really excited to see perspectiveend. Sadly, no emgo cameo, but it's totally fine, especially since he does do opinion based content. A great video and I appreciate the work you put into it, hope to see more of your videos soon!
Having seen the segment on Earthrise Starscream, I have two questions.
1. What were your initial thoughts when Nacelle was revealed to be a Siege Tetrajet retool rather than an Earthrise F-15 retool, were you surprised with this decision or not?
2. Based off of the images and footage we have so far, how does Reactivate Starscream fair against against the Earthrise Seeker mold, as well as the SS Bumblebee Seekers, Core Class Seekers, and Siege Tetrajets?
You can see my reaction to nacelle in a stream somewhere. It was uber hype.
And I dunno about reactivate. Looks alright. Willing to give it a shot.
This is like my 4th time watching this video from start to end and man is this commendable. I mean... I've been procrastinating about making one review for weeks and this man just comes and makes a full on list with the whole trilogy, fucking awesome man, one of, if not the best reviewer in the whole site!
Seeing the labels on Netflix Megatron, I kinda wish I had a set of them stickers ;).
It's a fantastic set. Highly recommend
@@DrLockdown I've been trying to top off my "G1 Autobot" set. Problem is, Hasbro seems to have some kind of problem with re-doing Gears. Autobots I'm missing are Jazz, Mirage, Prowl, Bluestreak and Hound. I didn't really like the Datsun mold, the legs are too hollow and those rotating flaps provide only minimal cover...
Cheers for letting me be a part of this Dec! Video came out great and hope to catch up soon
As a base, I think the Netflix Prime is weaker than the Earthrise. However after adding the black Nemesis trailer and some reprolabels, it makes an absolutely incredible G2 Comic Prime that I 100% believe surpasses the Earthrise. The Earthrise mould (while not as good as Siege Prime) is decent, but I don’t think it works for G1 Optimus at all, especially when so much of the colour has been replaced with dull grey, and the proportions are all wrong. Being a G2 Comic Prime, the jank proportions of the mould actually suit the Netflix version really well.
P.S. I also greatly prefer Siege Soundwave to the Netflix. Yes the space barge is weird, but all the Netflix had to do was be a box and it couldn’t even do that without having weird gaps and lumps and kibble and faux forming. It should be the easiest alt mode in all of transformers to do, why was it so compromised?
Wait, I'm not the only one who likes Siege Magnus? Let's go!
Centurion drone was sold for regular deluxe price over here in Amazon Mexico
Lucky
Here un Chile, I got it new, sealed for (buckle up )...21 bucks! I AM NOT KIDDING
@@Gridseeker buena
@@ShokoArc de verdad, de hecho lo compré en una tienda virtual vía mercado libre. Y todavía lo puedes encontrar aquí a buen precio
Wow, just...wow.
What a colossal effort, Kudos, Dr. Lockdown, you outdid yourself with this one, pretty much every TF TH-camr is here and the couple missing I already saw where invited but couldn't make it, what an ambitious project, it's even inspirational, makes me wanna stop putting up excuses and actually make some content myself so maybe someday I can be a part of something like this.
Was fun to be a part of this project - great video mate!

Crazy? I Was Crazy Once. They Locked Me In A Room. A Rubber Room. A Rubber Room With Rats. And Rats Make Me Crazy
I've tried looking into it, but I'm not finding anything. What's this about Studio Cell being fascist?!?!?
This is such a wonderful surprise to wake up to! Especially on my birthday! Please keep up the great work - hope you have another great 8 years!
Happy birthday mate
2:11:38 RIN PENROSE!
The homage to "The Heavy's Dead" made me fucking wheeze.
I'll have to watch this in like 3 days once I get home, but thanks for letting me be a part!
24:15 I want a voyager class Audi R8 Acura NSX Punch/Counterpuncg so badly
Happy anniversary, doc! BTW, would old "yer basterd!" Vorn return?
Perhaps
Genuinely so happy to see someone else who loves siege ultra magnus so much. Every time I see him on my shelf I can’t help but smile and want to mess with him again. Amazing job on the video and keep up the great work!
Amazing work sir!!! I’m absolutely astonished you could gather sooo many tubers and do all the entire line! Think you may have created something special here, I’m talking legendary status! Bet you do another “full line” in a few years!! 😜
This massive video is great when at work. Just hearing a fan and his friends/colleagues talk about a thing they're passionate about is...satisfying? Relaxing? I'm not sure what the word would be, but it just gives me a bit of energy and good feelings.
Have a nap, go watch Godzilla Minus One, and then have another nap. You've earned it.
Nah I got work.
But I will go see Godzilla soon.
@@DrLockdownunless I wasn't paying attention, did you forget the takara siege nemesis prime?
No. I didn't forget. He even shows up in the video.
I made the conscious decision not to include Takara-only releases, like that and Takara selects. It's why you don't see Super Megatron show up either.
I explain right at the beginning
Ok Doc Loc, you have come up with a quite impressive video here. You have imo made the most extensive and thorough run down of an entire 3 year ark, which happens to be the most influencial and revolutionary trilogy since G1 hit the states. Also, the little bit of help you had, doesn't come off as you lightening your load, so much as a series of cameos by other great influincers from fthe whole world. While I was absolutely stunned that the number 1 on this list, is the doner mold for my custom painted Siege Skywarp, I tended to look on the moldmates as one figure, where I determined the highest ranked individual rep of a single mold, was the mold's placement in general, which imo is a great way to look at it. I have some issues with some placement, where I feel that the top 3 all deserve to be the top 3, but not exactly in that order. Cyclonus, is going to hold a special place for me, since, he is the figure I saw at Walmart that made me literally yell "WTF" on the toy aisle, and forget to buy the birthday gift I was there to get for my grandson lol. He started my obsession, and now, however many years later,, 2 or 3, and 250ish figures later, I'm addicted. This has to be one of the BEST transformers videos EVER made! It's up there with the 3 part retrospective, and a few very special others. Kudos to the max doc lock!! And I don't have enough time in my day to shout out all of the voices I heard here, that I consider to be friends of mine, in our joint addiction to plastic.
I got generation selects nightbird yesterday and her croch piece broke off on her first transformation so that’s $100 well wasted
Jesus. It's bad enough for me paying retail, but $100?! Christ!!
I love that you referenced Thew with “Counch Punter Counch”😂
1:18:18 that heavy is dead
Congrats a such a huge collab video! Vangelus directed us here...Was excited to see his and Peaugh's entries in particular ^^ (I too love Inferno, but I also love Beast Megatron, THUS love T. Wrecks as well! Yesssss!)
2:40:10 Crosshairs was my first Siege figure and he’s my absolute favorite, hands down. He’s really simple compared to others in my collection, but I appreciate the fact he brought back a niche character design and did him so much justice. You could’ve told me that the mold was made for Crosshairs and I would’ve believed you. The head is my favorite part, because it brought back the original head from the cartoon, comics, and other iterations. I only wish that he came with his OG targetmaster partner Pinpointer, instead of them being separate. Oh well 😔
As a lesbian who loves Flamewar for Totally Non lesbian reasons.. I do think She should be more popular and have a new figure available so I can buy her please hasbro.
Jesus,you didn't joke that it will be this long. Great review with fun database aspect to it.
I can sense a SS86 Oprimus vs Earthrise vs Siege video next year.
And I disagree with Combat Megatron, it was one of the better usues of that shitty mold and Sixgun was fun, even more when combined with new Armada OP.
Heh. "wOMen HArD." Perfectly accurate representation of how fembots are treated.
Legacy (barring LegArcee): Allow us to introduce ourselves
@@dustinarmstrong1168 Couldn't be happier to have that be the case nowadays. Loving all the unique body types and conversions. It's like they're actual Transformers now!
I actually liked Pteraxadon... until his handle got stuck in one of my figures hands, and I had to shave/cut part of it off just to get him out.
Happy Anniversary, Doc!
Ah shit. Sorry to hear that.
More doctor who memes please
Whatever doctor who poop puts up on green screen
I Started Full on Collecting since 2019, back when I first saw Starscream and Soundwave on a Walmart Shelf. I ended up picking up Starscream, and it blew me away. I hadn't seen any reviews of the figure, and the last figure I picked up was Studio Series Cogman back in early 2019, so I was holy impressed with the figure. I then picked up Siege Megatron, then Siege Optimus, then Siege Bluestreak, then The Alphastrike Counterforce, and then it just grew and grew from there. Most of my favorite figures ARE from this Trilogy, so I should have to thank this Trilogy for basically bringing me back full force into the Transformers Fandom after dipping during The Last Knight, and started collecting Lego.
im sorry saying everyone who didnt like unicron didnt have him is the most disingenuous transformers take ive ever heard.
He literally said "most people" dude
That was worth it. Awesome guests!!!!! My guys The Sheepwielder, Diamondbolt, Theorymus and more with you in one vid about ranking the WFC toyline?!?!?! *Yes please!!!!!!*
Honestly great job on the video man!! it was such a nice surprise seeing Mitch Santona and Sean Long again, they’re a huge part of my childhood.
Kingdom Cyclonus hasn't left my desk since I got him. He's just so damn good, even if I'm not messing with it, just looking at it, and thinking about the figure is always a good time! He's my pick for best of the trilogy!
I still have my Netflix hound since I got him only a few weeks after I got the regular version. I saw the reports of the neck breakage issue only a few hours of I purchased netflix hound. I used an extra sharp scalpel and cut the head down the seem since it wasn't glued properly and through that, I found out his inner neck was painted on my copy.
I love how lockdown took the time to just put a whole "heavy is dead" skit in the video.
Holy moly this is gonna be an awesome ride! Believe me when I say as a long time Transformers fan and collector I will watch every second of this vid and probably will rewatch it over and over in the future😂 great work man keep it up!
Bro seeing toy reviewers I grew up with like Sean long and peaugh and seeing new ones I watch now is amazing thank you for this video truly
I have been watching this between shifts at work and uni work, but it was worth it. This is one of my favourite videos I have seen this year. And being mentioned in the Blackarachnia section? My favourite character from anything ever? Thank you so much
Thanks a bunch. Sorry I haven't sent off yours yet. Trying to find that damn accessory.
holy shit i was not expecting that "the heavy is dead" recreation. oh my god im deceased
That was quite a video! Yet fun to watch from beginning to end! Well done!
41:04 I wanted a bumblebee for my collection so I got this one because Amazon said it was 5 inches (I was looking for a taller one even though it’s actually like 3) and I’m not even kidding it was $100 for a crap figure.
Wonderful job with this video all around. What an accomplishment this was for the fandom, and seeing other creators I recognized made it that much more meaningful.
Insane effort. Huge kudos!
I don’t care it’s a school night I owe you the view as thanks for all your vids I’ve watched since late 2020. Thank you Doc you’re the best.
