Okay, first, I JUST really listened to the music in your intro not just what you were saying. "The Ants Go Marching"! Love it. Secondly, fun figure. The colors are great and really stand out.
Actually... It's "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" a song from the Civil War that expressed people's longing for the return of their friends and relatives who were fighting in the war. Then the damn ants took it over.
Spinister is LONG overdue (as are Needlenose & Ruckus), for a modern update...Thunderwing too for that matter. He's just a fun an interesting character, I think. One of these days I'd like to find a G1 version for my meager collection, but in the meantime I'll settle for living vicariously through your awesome review, while I await a more modern update to the character...(although I DO have that teeny little Targetmaster style version that came with the Nemesis Prime legends class figure a few years ago, but that doesn't quite get it for me, lol.) Another fun and informative review, brother! Hoo-ahh!!
Great review, Patriot! Question: Have you ever read any of the transformers UK G1 comics such as Target 2006 or Time Wars. If not and you ever get the chance you should get them. Or check out a fellow brit The Collector 75. He reviewed every issue
I think you may be confused. Searchlight was NOT a part of Combiner Wars, but is one of the Throttlebots (the white sports car), which thus far, has NOT been released in a modern format. The only helicopters released in the CW line were: 1)Alpha Bravo (Aerialbot - new character) 2)Blades (Protectobot) 3)Vortex (Combaticon) 4)Ro-Tor (Commando-Baldigus/Ruination) 5 & 6) Victorion copter twins, (whose names I haven't bothered to learn) There may be other's, although I was hoping for a Spinister version of the copter, and a Needlenose jet, Quake tank, and a Ruckus truck, to combine with either Cyclonus OR some type of Thunderwing/Bludgeon retool or something similar for a Mayhem Combiner character, which obviously didn't happen, nor did Thunderclash & the Turbomasters.... At any rate, you might want to double check the character/figure line, you're trying to describe. (Granted, Searchight WOULD be a better copter name than for a sports car, lol.)
Spinister being a cool name is a universal fact. :D
Ha! Spinister is a great figure. One of idws’ scavengers
The scavengers are my favorite group from the IDW continuity. RIP Flywheels. The DJD deserved there fate.
Great Review Man! Man, those colors bring me back to the 80s!
This is a great one. I really like it. Thanks Patriot for the sweet review. Take care buddy. Roy

+Shane Hai, well...you know my thoughts on Thunderwing.
Thanks for watching brutha.
He also has head and waste articulation. Which is rare for the time that he came out. Love the video as always.
+Elisa Henry, he sure does.
I always neglect to go over articulation due to transformation.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews oh well ya i understand that. Just kind of cool
Great review man, I was able to get his TFCC version of this guy which retained all of his original G1color and both target master
Spinster is a great toy and character from G1, love mine.
+6sh0t Changer Reviews, I'm thinking it was either him or Quickmix that completed my Targetmasters.
Great review, brother. It reminds me that I need to take better inventory of my collection. I’m trying to remember if I have this figure or not.
Do you collect Masterpiece or Third Party transformers? I would like to see some of these guys in an updated modern look.

I have a few of the collected editions and Collector 75 is one of my favorite reviewers.
He honored me by becoming one of my Subs a few months back.
You definitely have fans over here, Patriot. As I said in a previous comment we're really enjoying your work here in the UK!
Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me.
Hooah!!!!
