This is why I’m really worried about RED knockout, from leaked images the accessories look right with his staff and hand weapons/tools but with how the build is on RED figures and how off they can be knockout could be one of the biggest flops of the line
Same. I just hope they either got it together for his red figure, or that his legacy figure is good because I need this Icon as a figure to animate. The collection of queer transformers must grow larger.
You know how in those transformers crossover figures, it was people who had never worked on a transforming figure before, trying to make a transforming figure. With the red line, I wonder if it’s the opposite where it’s people who only work on transforming figures trying to make a non transforming figure
Totally agree with it having better potential as a statue. It feels phoned in. "Hey what if we reuse our red mold for a reformatted version of Megatron?... But we just draw grid lines instead of internal schematics and to really piss in everyone's Cheerios we start the formatting sequence from the wrong side and package it with garbage accessories that aren't needed and make it deluxe sized..." " Johnson you SoaB you've outdone yourself, you're getting a promotion!"
I got the RED Optimus because I thought it was an affordable g1 accurate transformer and was really disappointed when it didn't transform like I assumed. That was on me though, I failed to notice that the box didn't show any vehicle mode like other transformer boxes.
In my opinion, they should have made this in and “in-between” scale that would be about halfway between a voyager a leader so you could display him between Megatron and Galvatron to recreate the scene this is based off of.
Enjoy your christmas holiday! Im always curious about these RED figures. Most of them are crap, but I'm glad you are one of the willing few to pick up the occasional RED figure and confirm it for me.
@@PerspectiveEnd The only thing keeping me from saying that is their size, if certain figures were just a bit larger(and others smaller *cough*bumblebee*cough) then they'd be perfect
I gotta thank you Perspective End for recommending the Siege Prime. I recently got him and he is really good. Although I was SLIGHTLY disappointed SLIGHTLY, I said genius to me 5 times while doing the transformation. 5x better than the ER and I would recommend him to anyone who likes the ER. And for the “creaminess” he has I think its because its shiny which makes it feel creamy while the ER is more of a matt feel. Merry Christmas!
As neat as it looks, this is a pass for me. It has no space in my collection, and I honestly can’t get over the “Transformers that don’t transform” thing. Plus. extra hands or heads make me question getting a figure as a whole, because I don’t feel like keeping track of things I’ll never use and eventually will end up in a plastic bag of spare parts.
I agree wholeheartedly on the alternate heads, hell, if any line could benefit from parts-forming potential, it'd be this one. Alternate battle damage bits, alternate heads, arms/damaged limbs. Allowing you to evoke more scenes that don't involve transforming directly would only add merit to the line. But more and more it feels like the most shameless of potential shameless cash grab lines, imo.
Why won't I see this. I forgot about that part, rewatched the whole video to jog my memory then came here to ask what you were on about second from the end only for it to become clear when I hit the first key while the video was still running.
I thought about getting a R.E.D. Optimus to display in my classroom, but didn't want to spend the $20 on it. This Megs looks cool, but I'm not a fan of getting things that encapsulates one moment in time.
Tbh you'd be better off going with a cyberverse or like the siege figure or something. Most modern chug optimi do a better job in the looks department than the R.E.D. figures do already for like $10 more.
This could be so useful for stop motion, if only it was accurate and showed his insides, like how the master piece showed the inside of his face. (I would have also said for it to somehow move the outline, but I’m assuming that’s impossible)
Eh. After getting a hold of there Soundwave. The R.E.D line could have been worse. Soundwave is fun to play with. And pose. I hope we get his other cassettes in the future. Hell I'll even be happy to get the Dinobots. Both there robot modes. AND there dino modes. I think beast modes could work in the line with them being separate figures from the robot modes. Maybe we'll even get the DJD. Combiner teams and there combined form like the Combaticons and Bruticus.
Honestly at first I wasn’t on board with red, but the coronation starscream looks neat Like I don’t care about any others but I think that one would be a fun desk toy
I have red ultra Magnus. It seems it's just a repaint nothing more except the matrix is gone. So while reprints carry over acecories I think red ultra Magnus is the first to lose a assesory. (Theres still a slot for it in the chest.)
Much as people may hate bayverse, if one character should have a non transforming figure, it's the Fallen. I'm surprised there's never been a Fallen model kit as he doesn't transform so it makes sense to exist
I need to get this to go with that selects unicron galvatron I have on preorder, they compliment each other well. EDIT: The feet can tilt more if you pull down on them, there's a slider joint there.
Guys why do I finger since Hasbro started doing the transformers war for Cybertron figures I mean the Netflix show figures their quality slowly shatters
Ok, so for starters MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! 🎅😁🎄. IAnd as for the figure.... Yea, like the rest of the reviews on this series, R. E. D as an line is junk. But this megartron 2:40......o PRIMUS, he's soooo SHINY, to the point where even Track's AND Sunstreaker would been jealous. And as for the question of the video. Since we're on the topic of the TF 86 movie, what's your favorite character introduced in it, and why?
If you need a representation of this moment from the movie, you should’ve gone with the unicron companion galvatron. That’s the one I got and oh my goodness is it beautiful to look at. And it’s not made of rubber… This thing is total doo doo
I hard passed on this, and boy am I glad that I did. R.E.D. just seems like it's trying to please as much of the fanbase as possible, while doing everything wrong in the process. Picked up RED Primal simply because of how much I love Beast Wars and it's super weird with the inaccuracies that could've been easily avoided. Textured fur, wrong color on the face plate, removable chest plate, things like that. I can't even wrap my head around why they keep making these, outside of they seem to sell better than they should.
Something some people have said helps them enjoy my videos is slowing them down to .75% speed. I've listened to them at that rate, and it doesn't sound bad, barely any distortion. Hope that helps, but if you never watch another of my videos thank you for dropping bye this time.
I never thought this would have happened but today I cleaned my soundwave core class figure. And by god's will I don't know how but the joints on the hand suddenly became more tighter or my brain is playing me some kind of tricks. Please somebody help me I'm slowly going insane
Noooo! The paint job is not 100% accurate? So unfortunate, even tho I still think it looks cool. Yeah, the accecories is unnecessary but it's a repaint so Hasbro will probably do the same with the accecories. Anyway, great review.
I don't know, the red line has a couple of ok figures. I have the starscream with my 86 collection, he's one of my favorite characters but i've never liked any of the transforming figures of him, and he just happens to be the same size as earhrise starscream so he works to a point. The only other one i was looking at was bumblebee, just because he scales well with gi joe and i want to replicate the crossover cover where they blow him up.
Hasbro also does marvel legends I think they’re made of the same plastic as the red figures but they pose and feel much better So why aren’t they getting people from the marvel legends team to work on the red line
I feel like this is what the R.E.D line should be. Not the execution but the concept. One off characters that didn't even transform or things from one specific scene like this as it would make no sense getting an actual figure of as nobody would display it in it's alt mode. But the whole point of the RED line is to make ultra accurate, super posable figures by giving up transformation. But so far it has been a massive failure. I hate the rubber they use to make these things. It just feels cheap. They basically gave up the whole point of a transformer for pretty good accuracy and average/below average transformation.
the red figures seem terrible, however i am curious of one of the 12 soundwaves sitting on the shelf for 7 pounds. hasbros probably lost a lot of money on this
Do you remember the official art of kingdom when it was first announced yeah I did more research on that and I think it's kind of stupid that they didn't make like three more fossilize Maybe 3 maxamls-3 Predacons then you would have 2 fossilize combiners and apparently polar claw was supposed to be in Kingdom as well but not get released Hasbro has some issues
I´m surprised you didn´t mention that the grid pattern is in the wrong side compared to hot it was in the movie. They failed at the most basic parts...
Do you have any of the original animated figs, if yes what do you think about them, I personally really love them, yes they were pretty gimmicky and had some pretty egregious parts-forming, but the level of personality they had, especially their headsculpts that is unrivalled by any toyline ever, and they just looked nearly perfect to their on-screen counterparts (tho this wasn't true with every fig) and I personally quite enjoyed the gimmicks, I really wish they returned and I've seen people say prime first edition is sooooo good, but imo animated's toyline was way better than Prime's first edition
I'm sorry, but I can't justify this. They could have made the internal mechanisms then covered it the see through rubber material so you can see it or have something where you could have a stand to plug it in so it could light up that way you can see his insides. Ok ya it would look like a nightlight, but at least it would be something worth buying.
I think Super7 has a reformatted Megatron figure that actually has the robot internals on display giving a more accurate representation of that scene from the film. So why does this R.E.D figure exist?
Sorry, apparently the Super7 version is a limited edition retool of one of their other Megatron figures, and was only sold as an NYCC 2019 exclusive. So it's not easy to obtain unlike this R.E.D figure, relatively speaking.
Merry Christmas I live in asia so its christmas I already opened my gift and its from my brother and he got me authentics soundwave yay its pretty good and pretty hollow... so merry christmas and a happy new year
The only RED figure I bought was the Prime Arcee and it was complete garbage. I immediately bought the APC toys Arcee (which is amazing) and got rid of the RED trash figure. They need to discontinue the RED line and put the budget for it into the regular Transformers line. Why pay $20 for a trash non-transforming figure when you can pay the same amount for a better figure that transforms.
I only want 2 RED figures, Coronation Starscream (I own him) and this figure. The Starscream one is not a good figure... But strangely... I like it... And this one, well the only reformatting Megs at a reasonable Price, the other one is the Super Seven and those are expensive... So I am going with this, rest of Red we don´t need.. is Crap!
"Megatron is always a voyager, if not a leader in the modern age"
Core class megatron sad
This is why I’m really worried about RED knockout, from leaked images the accessories look right with his staff and hand weapons/tools but with how the build is on RED figures and how off they can be knockout could be one of the biggest flops of the line
Agreed. Knockout works better in "steel-belted radials", not "rubber-molded struts". 😂😬

That half-plaid suit comment was gold. I’m now picturing Megatron as Stan S. Stanman from Monkey Island!

Figure that is entirely 100% light piping
Because everyone (especially toy reviewers) love light piping

Man this one is quite different and that is what that makes this figure quite good!!!
Using the Christmas Megatron for a size comparison was a great callback to last year. Happy Holidays!

a bit of a bummer they got the main part of the figure wrong

PerspectiveEnd Complaining? Is it Monday... or Tuesday... Or Wed-
Meh. Now, Marvel Megs with his signature black helmet on the other hand...
I saw this the other day and thought about buying it for about 2-3seconds before coming back to my senses
You have to pull the ankles down for the full ankle tilt. The ankles and wrists of red figures have drop down joints
Could be repurposed as Training Simulator Megatron.
Honestly at first I wasn’t on board with red, but the coronation starscream looks neat
