And to some extent, yeah, it kinda doesn’t really “transform,” it more so compresses/folds itself into a makeshift wheel. Now, does it do it with honor and dignity? That one’s up for debate
My father, he was the first wheel, do you know what he transformed into? NOTHING! BUT HE DID SO WITH HONOR, DIGINITY DAMN IT! * farts parachute * (average Micheal Bay moment) agh bollocks, my boosters are fried
Man, Lego Technic did a better destroyer droid back in 2000! Not only could it actually transform into a ball, but it could spring back out too! That pit droid that could be compressed like the film ones was fun too.
@@Ihavethetouch personally my favorites are the new lego droidika, and the overwatch bastion. I know the technic ones were cool, but i never got my hand on one.
having built and painted some Droidekas for Star Wars Legion in both modes, there is imo a more workable logic than whatever happened there wild to not have any instructions though!
the legs actually fold the other way (fold up) to round out the shape all the black series me and my sister own have something wrong like: stiff shoulders, loose knees/elbows, stuck ankles, etc. I actually broke one the ankle on one of mine because of a stiff joint. the QC on black series is all over the place.
I love this figure, the first Droideka/destroyer droid that you can have so dynamic poses, though only issue I got is some of the joints are loose. Also GameStop nearly didn’t sell me this figure when I was also getting an Appa plush for my sister’s graduation gift cause the street was the day after at the time.
6:13 that moment when Lego does a better job. Since you’ve ventured into things that transform that aren’t transformers, please delve into the transforming gundams like the Zeta, double Zeta and EXS gundam.
It sure would be nice of the company that owns an entire massive franchise, specializing in the exact gimmick this thing is known for in universe, transforming into its own form of locomotion, would have at least been consulted, on how to engineer it, and make it function. How you gonna make a thing that turns into a ball, not only incapable of rolling like a ball, but only vaguely resemble a ball, at specific angles. Come on
I wonder if the lack of locking tabs is linked to the Star Wars licensing agreement becuase they think tabs will make the toy look "ugly". Kinda similar with the Porscge logo on SS Mirage
I think the figure looks pretty cool and I have one on pre oder. The thing with the transformation, how it's animated in the movies is really interesting. The ball form for it seems to fold more than really allowed in real life. Best way to really look is to play SWBF 2 EA one since they've got it close to 1:1 in the game.
PS, the old version release from idk when, phantom menace, has a droideka that really does fold into a wayyy better wheel. The cons being it's not as detailed and is rare.
I'd look forward to finding these things on eventual clearance. However, the cool droids never seem to show up. My Ollie's is walled with human character StarWar dolls of boring characters.
I think you have the legs rotated wrong. Maybe if you rotate them to where they're facing up they'd collapse more? Also that head looks really wrong all hyper-extended like that, maybe you should collapse it instead? And yes, I know, every other person out there does the same 'transformation', but it still looks really wrong. I'm guessing they're doing that because of the lack of instructions.
Some years ago I would have been excited a lot for this… But now I only feel apathy and 0 interest for Star Wars… I still watch the video cause I enjoy your videos, and heck made me curious enough
I can’t believe that Hasbro finally gave Jetfire’s dad his own figure!

@@TaunTaunTundra4477 Honestly, Stratosphere gave Jetfire a run for his money in dignity. Maybe it's just a big, old Jetformer thing in the Bayverse.
Finally, a transformer that turns into a wheel
Now we need Jetwing’s father

THE FIRST WHEEL!
It’s like one of those rid 2015 minicons 😂
I thought that was what it was when I first saw it
Those knock-off Bakugans?
Exactly!

$34 for that??? My jaw dropped when he said the price
Wallets hate the Star Wars Black Series line.
Makes you apreciate transformers as a toyline more.
Agreed
This guy isn’t even the most outrageous price either in terms of Black Series 😭
There's a lego droidika that recently came out, and from what I see it roles better.
Have you seen the old technic one? It unfurls by itself
@@linusfornowTechnic Droideka and Hailfire Droid are some of the best Lego Star Wars sets of all time

WHERE ARE THOSE DROIDIKAS?!
Loves the little change up from regular transformers content. Keep it going b'y
Nah, that’s not a transformer, that’s a bohrok.

wild to not have any instructions though!
Eh black series has like zero experience with this I'm not surprised at no instructions and fully expected it

I see you are a Lego/Ninjago fan like me maybe you should review some Lego mechs. Also have you seen the new Lego Bumblebee set.

Long time not seeing a droideka transform, but I think the third leg should turn around and complete the "wheel" on the back of the robot.

Hey ThatToyGuy
You should take a look at Candroids from Kamen Rider OOO
They’re drink cans that can transform into robot animals 👍
Wake one, and you wake them all...
...wait, wrong franchise...
This upload had me questioning what day it was because I’m so used to your schedule
The pill bug Droid
Try nail polish or top coat on the joint. It usually works well for me when I need it to thicken a spot.
Have a nice day

I have a Black Series B-1 Battle Droid, the one that came out around the time that Jedi Survivor did. It's a cool figure but has issues standing.
I had the lego fo this. thing was the size of one of those child sized basketballs

BAMF! Huder, Huder to all Droideka's!
It looks like a mix between a Rahkshi and Bahraki. The dudes that roll up into balls from Bionicle I forgot what their called.
huh looks like me after I fell off my roof 😅(back still hurts)
finally
jetfires grandpa
I'm still remember Droideka
There was a TCW Droideka and while its balled up form wasn’t great, it at least had locking tabs to hold it all together.
Shoulder issues are widespread I believe. All 4 copies of mine have trash shoulders
I picked up him, the Clone Trooper and Battle Droid 2 pack, and am waiting for the super battle Droid. And yes, my arms are sorta floppy too.
I had this, but it got disassembled really quick, which made me so sad.
have to rotate legs up, not under
Hello :)
Master! Destroyers!
I'd look forward to finding these things on eventual clearance. However, the cool droids never seem to show up. My Ollie's is walled with human character StarWar dolls of boring characters.
im waiting for a transformation
The need to make one as a ball you can roll and it pops open into battle mode.
I think I may go for the Lego version. They're better about QC than Hasbro.
You may want to check out the much older Power of the Jedi Destroyer Droid. It has a better transformation.
It looks like space crap hope you saved your receipt.
I mean
The legs are all supposed to rotate 180° to complete the circular shape.
Rid minicons?
Where do you get those used transformers from?
All of a sudden SS BB Soundwave’s alt mode doesn’t seem that bad
I think you have the legs rotated wrong. Maybe if you rotate them to where they're facing up they'd collapse more?

what was that figure you showed off before transforming the droideka?
It’s a thunderclash repaint of a prime beast hunters Optimus, he made a short about it recently.
Wasn't there another droid from this movie that had a "flight mode"?
Vulture droids. The transformation usually works better on their toys.
Jetfire's father look so good
That’s a lot of articulation 😂
1:44 what’s the “Star Wars tax”?
It’s just Disney being hard to work with because of how incredibly greedy they are, the usual.
The legs are ment to flip up and around like 180 degrees
So this is Jetfire's Father?
Is that jetfires dad?
It's a rollypolly
Scrounge pretool?
Why is really for adults collector
5:42 that ain’t round.
Dosn't help that the Star Wars team seems to be the least passionate, low effort of all the Hasbro action figure teams.
The ball mode doesn't look like the ball mode from Atleast battlefront 2
More Star Wars black series when?
How long until Disney somehow ruins this?
Starwars toy as halfed-baked as the shows? Checks out.
that's not a transformer, that's a bohrok
20th!!!!
They couldve tried WAY harder to make the alt mode look good its so terrible
...crap i need it
Some years ago I would have been excited a lot for this… But now I only feel apathy and 0 interest for Star Wars… I still watch the video cause I enjoy your videos, and heck made me curious enough
Get a real Bakugan
"It looks like a ball of sorts" ... No. No it does not. That's abysmal... it's like a fan-mode transformation, except I've seen better fan-modes. XD
