Man I wish they included different faces for each character *(SOMETHING THAT THE RED LINE SHOULD HAVE)* but at that point it would be asking too much
Yeah I don't know how the RED line doesn't have something like that.
My question for the RED line is, why have we NOT gotten a G1 Alpha Trion figure in this line?
@@TFfangeek Alpha Trion gets a transforming figure in the Legacy line but not the line where he’d make the most sense in? With him not transforming in the show he’s from.
Goldbug’s lack of an alternate head is a waste, since they could’ve just given him bee’s head to make him G2 Bee, so you know, actually accurate to something
Waspinator’s heads are good, both were on the original toy so it works
As does Scorponok’s though I don’t use the non mutant head on the original toy either when you have a mutant head that good.
And ransack is expressionless, so if they had to include the head, I’m glad it was Toy Color Kickback’s head, plan on putting that on the legacy Kickback when I get it.
@@kaylemathewcomendador6964 oh but you see that's the point of the R.E.D line to give us characters that don't make sense to be in the line.
At this point you could build your own armada with all those Cliffjumper repaints
I don't want to.
@@PerspectiveEnd you need to
@@PerspectiveEnd I think you should
@@PerspectiveEnd you have to
@@PerspectiveEnd You must
Another thing with having more heads is that unlike the marvel legends stuff it’s usually a pain to actually remove them sometimes
These ones, are actually pretty easy to do.
@@PerspectiveEnd which probably explains why they alternate heads included, but outside of these ones most are either at risk of breaking the neck part or you need a screwdriver
Ransack and Kickback have been trained in the ways of Animated Bulkhead- using their kibble so they can relax
I know not the tales of this Animated Bulkhead?
@@PerspectiveEnd Ok so the roof and back doors of his alt mode hang above his shoulders and he is able to partially untransform them to make a chair.
@@NexusProductions-rz1sv and it was fucking hilarious.
@@PerspectiveEnd You should try out some Animated figures in the near future.
Alright, hear me out:
Ransack is the Yellow Bastard from Sin City.
I'm not feeling you on that.
Fantastic video PersepectiveEnd!! Most fans have been blinded by nostalgia for Goldbug, especially since this is only the second modern deluxe class sized figure of Goldbug, third count the Shattered Glass version, which is why the figure gets lots of praise. My main gripe with Goldbug was his blue hands, so I got the SG version and did a hand swap, and now he's even more ugly yellow, then he was originally. LOL :D I still have my copy of Kickback in his box, so Ransack is an okay figure being the first version of the mold I transformed. Keep on being amazing.
Thank you very much, and I forgot to hammer it for having the wrong colored hands.
@@PerspectiveEnd You're welcome. I have to this...hands off to you for all the hammering you accomplished in your review of Goldbug. lol
The Kickback head's actually not for Ransack - it's for Kickback himself, made specifically to imitate his toy colouration.
That is weird and interesting, but I guess it gives it more value.
I've two of them [Bug Bite & Hubcap], and the back piece of the bazooka is meant for vehicle mode where you disassemble the bazooka and stick certain pieces of it in certain spots of the car mode to give it a "watercraft" mode (that only Cliffjumper uses in one episode of G1).
My guess is: It would appear that people wanted a G1 Bumblebee that transformed into a VW Beetle, since the Netflix Bumblebee is impossible to find, and so the Goldbug would have to suffice.
I remember the water crat mode with the Skis, I don't remember an engine.
This is making me scared for Beachcomber now. I swear if he's even half like the WFC Jump Off A Cliffer, I'll be heartbroken.
It’ll be fine, most of the Minibots we’ve got have been good
Aye if they update the titans return figure or take the concept of the transformation and put it in legacy or the evolution line i'll be ey okay
Which version of Beachcomber are we talking about, because the PWT vers was quite good.
@@PerspectiveEnd Wait damn I was talking about a figure that wasn't even in the toyline instead the other one that came after it
@@elitegamer21005 1/4 of the minibots have been genuinely good, 2/3 of the remaining ones have just been okay.
Am I the only one that actually likes the cliffjumper mold?
No there are plenty of you, but I don't understand it though.
Parts forming bugs me but I really like that original cliff jumper. No time for any other repaints though
@@reedy9333 I don't mine parts forming although not going to lie it does bug me
I like it too
I like it, shame about the partforming tho.
The gaps in Goldbug really are much more noticeable than the other versions.
Indeed they are.
They probably painted the tabs I always sand them down when they don't fit
Ransack made Me want Kickback and The other Insecticons
So you got this set first?
@@PerspectiveEnd yes
I have G1 Goldbug, he’s bad but in a way that makes him adorable
I mean it's an Old G1 figure, that's understandable.
Yeah definitely skipping on like all the cliff molds except for the 2 I have. Only gonna get shattered glass repaints
Why are you going to get the SG one when it's still a terrible cliffjumper.
@@PerspectiveEnd it's a burning addiction to any thing shattered glass that can't be stopped...
I can't say I hate the Cluffjumper mold but then again I only have 1 version it. With four more, I might start cursing the design team.
Completely forgot about set to begin with.
Yeah, I've been forgetting about it too. As HARD as I can.
I love Ransack so much, especially his head. I bought the whole set just for him and I still love him.
Glad to hear it does so much for you.
Kick front and beebumble
Man seeing Ransack makes me want the beetle boys even more, especially shrapnel, whom I hope gets retooled into chopshop because stag beetles make my brain do the happy drug
Chop Shop can be a unique figure you know?
He's teased on the Evolution poster, you can hope for all of them except for Ransack to be original molds.
@@hypertech116 now that does put a smile on my face
I'm expecting a Full Team of Insecticons. At the very least the Big three.
@@PerspectiveEnd
imagine hasbro & takaratomy made a insecticon combiner team
@AceDantalion boy do I got news for you
I think of this as a warning because I was going to buy this for the Waspinator mold, but I feel different now.
Yeah it's not really worth it for that ONE figure.
I love how in these four packs it’s just bumblebee just getting jumped by a shit ton of bad guys
I wonder if you could kitbash a Goldbug out of this Goldbug and Earthrise Runamuck. Somehow he looks more like Goldbug than Goldbug. He has the wheels in thr feet and a similar transformation
I... What?
I agree with Perspective here wtf are you on about
Kickfront beebumble
You just made me laugh.
Seeing Goldbug with the back partsforming piece turned around to match the G1 look takes him from an accessory I had to buy to complete the Deluxe Insecticons to an acceptable representation of Goldbug, especially now I have the much-better SS86 Bumblebee to represent the pre-Goldbug character.
Great way to wind down after a looooong day of school
Happy to hear it.
it's odd how despite how different this and the worlds collide box are they both have the exact same biggest problem
Indeed. The Cliffjumper is a Pox on what ever he's a part of.
Ok now that you’ve got both parts done, I think it’s time I give my thoughts on this set, which is way better than the last one, cause was only good because of Nemesis Primal.
Goldbug: This is the fifth version of the ER Bumblejumper mold I’ve bought, and the fourth one I kept (I got rid of the normal Cliff once the 86 one came out. I like the mold, but I don’t need to keep an inferior version of it when I have the best one). Anyways, I like this as a repaint of the Netflix Bee, and the head I actually like quite a lot. I get he’s not the best figure, but I like him.
Ransack: I didn’t really see a use for this guy until I learned that Legacy Evolution was supposedly gonna introduce his Deluxe Insecticon buddies to the line. I hope they’re all in the same pack and not scattered across 3 separate Buzzworthy Bumblebee boxsets. That’d suck for our wallets. Anyways, this guy is ok as a Kickback repaint.
-Also his alternate head seems to be made as a reference to the G1 Kickback toy, so you can switch it with the normal Kickback. I like the red eyes on the Kickback, though, and my version’s head CANNOT come off for some reason.
Scorponok: He’s good. I like the show colors better, but this guy isn’t terrible. Plus, I can recreate the Robot Chicken Beast Wars sketch with the Kingdom toys.
-Oh wait I don’t have Polar Claw. One day!
Warpspinator the Chaos Bringer: Pretty good for a Waspinator repaint. I like to keep the Buzzsaw head on him, as I don’t have the normal Buzzsaw, but both heads are pretty cool.
All and all, this is a pretty good set.
Also, me and my brother came up with an idea of what the next set should be. You know how the Buzzworthy line seems to be doing toy-accurate BW stuff? Well, we considered a 2-pack of a toy colors Optimus Primal (using the battle mask off the Nemesis), and a toy colors Megatron, using the unused T-Wrecks face that got leaked a while ago. And it could probably include a silver Paleotrex head and some blast effects or something to round out the price. It could be called “Warriors Collide” or something like that. I know it’s never gonna happen, but it’s a decent idea. Rather than just four deluxes again for 90 dollars, it’s a small voyager and a big leader class for 90 dollars. Sounds cool, right?
I liked Blackarachnia.
Man I just can't get why anyone likes this mold but I'm glad you do.
I always assumed they were going to do the other Deluxe Insecticons, so that was never a concern for me.
I FAR prefer this version of Scorponok over the normal kingdom one.
Didn't they already do a Toy Colors Prime with that rattrap, though I guess the head would be new.
I don't know about the Megatron though, like the less purple purple, just seems like it's not enough of a draw.
Goldbugs head here looks like one of those people who get plastic surgery to look like their idols also you could imagine ransacks visor is his mouth in his alt mode
That's a great way to put it.
I really want the Ransack, but I just can’t justify paying 80 dollars for the guy I actually want and then 3 I do not care about.
I want the ransack, but I can't justify paying modern deluxe price for ANOTHER Cliffjumper.
People are selling them single packed on Ebay if you are willing to pay extra for it. I think they go for like 40.
Perspective would go back in time just to destroy the cliff jumper mold
Maybe
If I did that, then I wouldn't have started youtube ever...
@@PerspectiveEnd ooooooh fair
Funnily enough, I always use the bazooka engine block’s flip-out bit to pull out the peg on the partsforming piece.
I'm not quite sure how you are accomplishing that?
@@PerspectiveEnd if you flip out the block, the hole at the end can be used to get a grip on the peg, and then you can use it to break it out of the vehicle mode position. Apologies if the description isn’t the greatest, I don’t have the figure in front of myself to remind me
That's odd. I guess there is some mold degradation in play because my Bumblebee (siege version) isn't nearly as gappy.
It might also be that the plastic is painted in places it wasn't in the other version adding to the thickness of the tabs where it isn't supposed to, perhaps?
These are good points. I cant tell which it is though.
ransack in alt mode kinda looks like he happy from his face when you look at him at a side angle :)
I'm not quite seeing that my self.
@@PerspectiveEnd 6:12 idk why it looks like he’s smiling with a slightly open mouth
And like the visor looks like the tongue or mouth
4:28 I had never seen this design before today, but holy hell that may be one of the cooler g1 transformers designs i've ever seen. Black, red, and gold is an amazing color scheme, shiny thing good, and this makes the figure look like ass in comparison
I believe that particular frame was from the Dreamwave comic.
Ah I've been called out for my Liger rant, have I?
Liger Rant? I've no memory of this.
@@PerspectiveEnd You said something in your MMC Mirage review about how acccurate the alt mode was so I jokingly spent 3 hours looking up and writing an essay on how accurate it was to the real vehicle.
I have a question my core shockwaves knee joints are very loose to the point he can't stand and I can touch him and he falls backwards even a breeze can push him over. What joint tightener do you recommend for ball joints?
5:00 Cliffjumper: "I'll be living rent free in your head. I'll parkour all over your dreams. You can never achieve this level of bad ass-ness, young man!"
You will never be ERcee's equal.
I just used most of the parts from Goldbug's bazooka to give Siege Optimus a sniper rifle. I mean it works, I just wish there was a connection point at the back to extend the stock.
You could maybe get a 3D printed 5MM peg.
You can have Ransack’s face flap fully cover his face and visor if you pull it back like a teeny tiny bit, and have the head look down into it on it’s balljoint
I tried doing that but I found not much change. You can see me do it in the video.
@@PerspectiveEnd I promise you can get it so that his visor is fully covered, i do it with mine and the flap goes all the way to his black “baseball cap” brim of his brow
I think the thing at the back of the rocket launcher attaching to the backpack is for a different alt mode where it’s hanging out of the top of the car
I think it was advertised as something you could do with the Netflix bumblebee
I think I've seen that configuration before and it's actual cancer.
I think the swappable heads idea would work if there's something like say...
You could have Optimus with either a cartoon accurate or comic accurate head to suit your preference.
Yeah, or they had different expressions.
I don't see how anyone can pull the "increased engineering" excuse in regards to that Cliffjumper/Bumblebee mold especially when we have the SS49 Bumblebee. Which, while yes is a bit overengineered, is still a deluxe class figure with way more engineering than the Earthrise Cliff/Bee mold.
Exactly, it drives me nuts when people try to hide behind that argument.
Ransack is the only good fig in this boxset the others can get stuck in limbo and get attacked by scraplets
The Waspinator looks really cool, and the Scorponok is the only Tollerable version of that mold.
@@PerspectiveEnd I take back what I said about waspinator and scorponok they do look good in darker colors.
But that damn cliffbug can get thrown into dante's inferno and suffer through all 7 layers but even the devil himself wouldn't want dogshit in his domain
@@PerspectiveEnd Also I would just give that rocket launcher to another figure still don't know why all of the versions of it comes with a extra price that's not needed
So I Got this Set and The Creatures Collide set and I Liked Both this And Bumblebee, Tho it's a Character I Already had And One I Don't care about
So you liked them despite not caring for the characters and having a version of them already?
@@PerspectiveEnd no no no, I Had A Version Of Bumblebee, And Don't care about the Character of Goldbug Since He's Litterally just Bumblebee
2:19 no need to worry about my sanity that’s long gone lol
Understandable.
2:18 No, I'm worried for yours. Also, if you had the power what would you have done to make the ER Cliffjumper good?
Well I would have made sure it didn't partsform, I'd have made it not a retool, and I'd have made it bigger. I'd change just about everything about it.
Ransack's gun works well with goldbug, if only it had any weapon ports in vehicle mode, always a pet peeve to leave the weapons to the side
I don't know that a Tommy Gun sticking out of the roof of a Volkwagen would look all that cool.
@@PerspectiveEnd definitely not, but something is better than nothing. I wish they all had hidden weapon storage, but ya know. Still bugs me when I transform my 86 jazz, it would have been so easy to make the gun fit between the legs to form a tailpipe
0:07 Should have saved that line for anything Springer/86 related (it’s not the exact quote, but it’s somewhat similar)
I wasn't even making that reference there. That's just coincidence.
Who told you that you'd enjoy a redeco of the Earthrise Cliffjumper? They truly don't know you if they did.
A weirdly high number of people.
Something that i did notice now is that his arms and shoulders changed colors with each other (which still doesn't remove the fact that i want this figure)
I noticed that during editing but after the audio was already recorded so I couldn't go back and add that.
I swear I always get these weird dreams of what figure I get (In the future), this time it was legacy Dragon Megatron
So you found a Dragon Megatron?
@@PerspectiveEnd not yet
When you’re on the umpteenth version of the cliffjumper mould then I think it’s safe to say there are limited engineering costs in the mould… it’s mainly cost of materials and then all profit.
Do you have a copy of MS Light of Peace? If you do I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.
I do have the new MS version, I plan on reviewing it in the next few weeks.
I unironically really, really love this Goldbug. I was always a huge fan of G1 Bumblebee/Goldbug, and my first ever Transformers toy was the G1 Goldbug my mom bought for me. That, of course, was barely a toy, but it was what we had at the time and I still loved it. I've been wanting an updated version of Goldbug forever, and where I'm pretty okay with CHUG figures using alt modes that only sorta look like the original car they were supposed to be if you squint for licensing reasons, with Bee for some reason I can't fully explain either him being a Volkswagon is something I find really important. I'm overall really happy with how it turned out. Mine doesn't have any or the QC issues you seem to be having, though. Seamlines definitely don't look that pronounced either.
Ransack is a character I have no affection for whatsoever, but it's a cool looking repaint of a figure I already really enjoyed in its original form. Overall pretty happy with the contents of this set, although I do wish they'd stop mixing G1 and Beast Wars characters in the same boxed set. While I love both G1 and Beast Wars, I know way, way more people who are either all about one series and not at all interested in the other. This is a guaranteed way to force people who are only interested just one series to buy two figures of a series they aren't interested in if they want to complete their collections. And I imagine they'd feel like Hasbro is screwing them.
I can't help but feel like this would have been better if it was a Retool of the Runabout/Runamuck mold.
And yeah I've got no affection for ransack either, but I still like this thing.
This was such a weird box set. At least the worlds collide set had a vaguely g1 style Bumblebee for anyone who still needed him, this doesn’t have any big name characters. Despite not really wanting anyone from this set I ended up grabbing Scopanoc and Skywasp since they cost pocket change on the aftermarket and my Predicon shelf could use a few seat fillers.
See I wouldn't say that because the Bumblebee was in a Cliffjumper altmode. This actually does make more sense to me as people do need a gold bug.
Hope you like those two figures.
soooo many cliffjumbers
Too many.
I love the goldbug design. I think it’s just because I like face plates
Face Plates are cool, this figure isn't.
@@PerspectiveEnd so true
LOL! Great video! Like the Goldbug but im happy with the Generations version.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Ransack’s design looks absolutely cursed to me. If you never bleached your eyes before, then today’s the day.
Ransack looks like he’s just wearing a helmet, short sleeved shirt and boots.
I don't know man, don't most Transformers just look like they are wearing helmets?
When the throw away 4 pack of Legacy and WFC figures have swappable heads, and the R.E.D line doesn't
Yeah, it's impressive just how much the RED line sucks.
@@PerspectiveEnd Yep lol, also pretty sure the VW Beetle's air-cooled boxer engine goes in the back, lol
Creatures collide and ER Cliffjumper curses. Also cool Ransack and not bad Warpinator.
So sick of the ER Cliffjumper.
I am once again here, giving MY LIKES.
Thank you kind sir!
I must've been lucky with my goldbug cause I've never had problems pegging everything together in vehicle mode
Yeah my copy just does not go further than this from what I can tell.
Goldbug is just blah, I have the shattered glass version and wish they picked something else to use instead of the cliffjumper mold.
Ransack looks nice for what he’s got to work with besides the bug head. What might suck is if hasbro does the other 3 insecticons getting ransack might be an issue
I've been saying they should have used the Runabout/Amuck mold since that thing came out.
@@PerspectiveEnd that would’ve worked better, goldbug just seems to short in the comics he’s supposed to be this menacing warlord yet gets stomped on
Hey man, I used to watch your vidoes every day, but then I graduated high school and I have a girlfriend and a full time job so I can’t tune in often like I used to, but I will occasionally and I appreciate the work you’re doing for our entertainment
Thank you very much for stopping bye when you can, sad to see less of you, glad to have you when ever I can.
So I’ve got something to vent about. It doesn’t have to do with the video, but it was a little horrific for me.
So I’m going out to a different Target to get ideas on what might be available for Black Friday. I get to the Transformers section, and I see some promising results. I see Legacy Crankcase, Legacy Tarantulas, Legacy Elita-1, 86 Junkheap, and even an SS AOE Galvatron.
Overall, a very decent find.
But, then I notice that there’s also an 86 Ironhide in between the several Junkheap boxes. I was very happy. The find just got a whole lot better. But then I look at the 86 Ironhide box. I look at the figure inside. And I notice something is wrong. The head looks off, and the body looks off. Then I quickly notice how familiar it was to a different figure. I look at the back of the box to double check with the 86 Ironhide image, and I had my answer.
This was an 86 Ironhide box that was actually distributed with an Earthrise Ironhide inside of it. It was such a disappointing sight to see, and I felt my heart nearly shatter when I saw it.
I mean, how does this even happen? Shouldn’t Earthrise Ironhide be a discontinued figure? No longer in production? And I know no one swapped figures out of the box because those thin plastic wires were on the figures chest to hold it in place.
But what makes this worse is that I see 3 potential outcomes with this mis-packaging. 1.) Some poor kid’s gonna see the Ironhide and get it regardless without recognizing that it’s a different figure from the 86. 2.) Some parent is gonna try and get this for their kid as a Christmas present, but fail to check the back of the box to realize that there’s a different figure in the box. 3.) Some collector is gonna come along-who doesn’t have the Earthrise Ironhide-and they’re gonna see there’s a different Ironhide in that box. They might become joyous that they can now get an Earthrise Ironhide. But the real kicker is that I don’t recall seeing the shield-roof piece in the box, so if it wasn’t put behind the cardboard display, anyone who gets that figure will get an incomplete Earthrise Ironhide. And it will still cost them $33.
So what that is, is someone bought the figure and then replaced the figure in it with the one they had at home, then returned it. As the Store employees wouldn't know they difference, they would just stick it back on the shelf.
When you see something like that, report it.
@@PerspectiveEnd But I swear I remember seeing the figure with the plastic fasteners on it-and those things are different to manually insert and remove.
I mean I could have been wrong about the fasteners, but why would someone buy an 86 Ironhide and then return the box with an Earthrise Ironhide? Were they trying to get a false refund while still getting the 86 Ironhide? Were they trying to get rid of the Earthrise Ironhide while making some money in return?
It could be the most likely outcome, now that you say it, but I’m still unsure. It doesn’t help that the Target I found it at is about a 25 minute drive from where I live.
Buzzworthy Bumblebee: Creatures Collide - Ransack and Goldbug.
-Ransack looks equally as cool as Legacy Kickback. This Insecticon paint may not be one to one to the actual character. But he still looks cool. Rocking the Kickback mold. The new head is cool. It's a nice reference to the G1 Kickback toy's head. But I won't be switching the heads. Wish his wing swords was orange, to go with his orange wings, but it fine. Especially since it's supposed to be for abdomen for make Ransack more like his locust bug mode. When Bombshell and Shrapnel comes out, I hope that Barrage and Chop Shop won't be far behind.
-Goldbug is alright compared to the Netflix Bumblebee. This Throttlebot color scheme really speaks for himself. Kind of wish it came with a gold Bumblebee head, since the other characters in this box set have alternative head choices. Would have been a cool reference to G2 Bumblebee. Out of the four characters from this box set, for me personally, Goldbug was my most anticipated figure. Sure, he's not accurate to the G1 cartoon model, reusing the ER Cliffjumper mold with everything it includes. But he looks good to me. Why? Because he's the evolution to Bumblebee. In some continuities, he's a separate character. But I'm sticking with him being Bumblebee's rebuilt form aspect.
See I don't think this is at all good compared to the other Bumblebee. Like it's in both uglier colors, and as far as I can tell the QC is worse.
I understand your points. My copy of Goldbug doesn't have bad QC. So far. But it will be something to look out for. And him standing side by side with his past self, Netflix Bumblebee, looks wholesome to me.
Honestly the hate for the Cliffjumper mold is ridiculous, it’s ok to dislike a mold but damn people relax just because you hate the mold doesn’t mean it’s a bad mold for everyone
While that is typically the case, it's blatantly not true for Cliffjumper and the hate is warrented.
And you REALLY don't help by pretending it's good.
@@NexusProductions-rz1sv I don’t pretend I legitimately enjoy that figure, yeah it has flaws but I’m too thrilled to get a good version of my favorite Transformer
It's fine if you like that figure, there's nothing wrong with liking something regardless of it's quality.
The Simple fact of the matter is though, that Cliffjumper Poses badly, Looks inaccurate, weather or not you think it looks cool is subjective, transforms badly, with a simplified take on a VERY old Masterpiece transformation, that uses Partsforming. And then it's got a decent altmode.
... If your's holds together. My Goldbug here doesn't.
Rated on those points, it comes out to being a bad figure.
And that doesn't mean you have to start disliking it.
Honestly the netflix bumblebee might be better to you because of accuracy because cliff never had his spoiler on his chest due to transformation while bumblebee doesn't have to worry about it
To be fair yes. But then again, it's also way dumpier than Bumblebee actually was. He was actually a lot fitter than people tend to remember.
The mask for Ransack looks almost MORE natural in robot mode as a deployable armor gimmick than it does the mandibles for a locust.
Except his head is on backwards.
Since I don't think they are going to get the original voice actors, what Hollywood actors you think should play the transformers in rise of the beasts?
Yeah they totally aren't, and I don't know, I'm not great at casting. Danny Divito could be fun as Rattrap.
The alt kickback head is the g1 toy colors head of normal kickback
Someone else just mentioned that to me, and it makes it a little more worth while now.
Great video but will you give your thoughts or review earthspark?
I've only watched the first episode so far. Going to watch more.
Honestly it would’ve made slightly more sense to make Goldbug a retool of Earthrise Runamuck/Runabout , sure he wouldn’t bee (ha) a Volkswagen, but he would’ve been an arguably cooler car and slightly more accurate
That's what I've been saying since I reviewed Runamuck back in the day.
I wish you would put those leaf sword things together for the abdomen on ransack I'm sad. I think that was the intended homage to the original
An interesting point, I thought I didn't need to do it, because I covered it on the original figure, but now I'm realizing that may have been a Mistake.
Mostly I just replied get engagement going on your channel because I'm rooting for you.. Oh shit is that ridiculously patronizing? Whatever here's another comment to feed the algorithm😅
I took the head off the goldbug to see how that would look and it turned out well enough I also had to modify the head of the goldbug sine there had defect in the face plate
What do you mean you took it off? Like Goldbug no longer has a head, or did you replace it?
@@PerspectiveEnd I put the goldbug head on the origins bumblebee since the head always bugged me
I feel like they could’ve combiner wars leg on kickback/ransack
I do think the way it is, is the general shape his legs had in the show though.
Gold bug survives by eating smaller weaker gold bugs
That does sound like something he'd do.
Hey PE, what do you think about the colors on the Eris Kultur alternative figure? Do you like it better or worse?
They are subtly different and Darker over all, honestly I like Eris Kultur enough to kind of want to buy that one just to have both.
If Goldbug would be a pistol and Ercee a death cannon dreadnought, what would kingdom Rhinox be?
Nuclear warhead.
A slingshot
I like Nexus's idea, it's just so pathetical shitty.
@@PerspectiveEnd I didn't intend that, but sure.
I figured we were going by level of damage. Pistol kills you, death canon is self explanatory, slingshot is annoying and can take out an eye.
@@PerspectiveEnd Yeah, I guess that makes more sense.
if you tell me you don't like the cliff jumper mold one more time I MIGHT just actually believe you.
I'll have to come up with another reason to review it then.
I want everyone to know I called the goldbug
Also I wish gold bug was chrome
What do you mean you called Goldbug? You called the Fact that I'd hate it? That's like Predicting the Sky is UP.
@@PerspectiveEnd I'm pretty sure in a older video I said they where going to make a goldbug before it got revealed but hey I could be wrong
Hey Perspective, question: I forgot if you have, but if you haven’t, will you review a Planet X figure? If you have, can you put the link to the video you if did?
Here is the link to the ONE Planet X figure I've covered.
th-cam.com/video/uauK5yPofoI/w-d-xo.html
Thank you
I thought that the the kickback retool was a you know like crappy OC or something someone made in their garage or something
Nope. It's one of the Insecticons that had a Toy way back in G1 but never showed up in the show.
I need still that skywasp, scorponok and... Goldbug.. S head, thats it, maybe goldbug's weapons, hate ransack more than kickback just because how inaccurate he is in both modes, only yhe head is what it is supposed to be, and it still dares to include the kickback head
I don't think Ransack's Robot mode is terrible, it could have done the trick if they just gave it more attention.
Hasbro and Takara should make some of the g1 minibots core class
I feel like they've done that several times before.
Wich one is worse: Earthrise Cliffjumper or Arcee?
I mean I say it in the video the ERcee is far worse.
Every time a cliffjumper repaint comes out people always say it will be better
Surprise, turns out it's the same.damn thing with a different head, and the occasional VW beetle parts
People are in a unhealthy relationship then.
Honestly i knew you where gonna hate goldbug
As should everyone have.
@@PerspectiveEnd i also honestly thought you where hate on ransack more
You know what? Maybe if they ever do get to Glyph, they should probably use the Cybertronian Bumblebee
I'd hope that's what they do, that's actually a good figure.
i’m still finding this thing in stores and i hope it goes on discount
I'm sure it eventually will.
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah i was interested in the figures but man that price tag is just not worth it
Thoughts on the idea of Goldbug being a retool of Runamuck? This was an idea I’ve had for forever
Guess I’ll just respond with my Ransack thoughts as well
Ransack’s a really nice figure imo, and personality I’m glad his gun isn’t painted like Kickback’s cause it fits Ransack’s vibe more and makes it easier to swap between figures.
Also I like that they did paint his blades because they were meant for ransack in the first place, since they become his thorax in Locust mode, and being painted helps them accomplish that goal.
Also Also, I think the transformation of Ransack works a lot better, especially since you can manipulate it to look more like a locust than kickback’s grasshopper mode looks like a grasshopper.
‘03 Waspinator and Ransack really carry this set for me, Scorponok looks leagues better than Kingdom but it’s still a really weird mold… that I’m about to buy a second version of thanks to sandstorm… and Goldbug is just, no. He was my first experience with this mold, and I immediately went and bought origin Bee to get a GOOD Bumblebee mold.
Wasn't I the person who proposed that so long ago? I like the idea.
What is 03 Waspinator?
@@PerspectiveEnd I’m sorry I’ve honestly never seen what video you may have proposed Runamuck Goldbug in
‘03 Waspinator is Skywasp. Skywasp is the color scheme from a canceled Universe 2003 2 pack of Waspinator Vs Nightprowler (BW episode 1 reference)
I continue to call that color scheme ‘03 Waspinator, because I find Skywasp a fundamentally lazy and boring character choice, so I still apply that toy to the person it was meant to be.
Great job guys, you stole most of the name of a g1 character, and 1:1 stole his personality, because it’s a black and purple repaint, y’all deserve a pat on the back for that one. 😒
hey .....remember when like.....early Classic and Universe figures were £12 (not sure on the usa prices) and now they are £24 and the quality hasnt improved? or at least i dont feel it has. This set baffled me with how much it was with only 1 figure that was interesting.
Can't say that I do. I feel out of collection sometime around 2006, and didn't get back into it till like 2016-17.
@@PerspectiveEnd might be worth picking up some of the older universe figures for you to compare to these newer releases. Its not a perfect line or anything crazy like that but could be interesting and/or a video you could make around it.
Will you make a new recommendations for christmas because I can't find MMC Assaultus for less than what 500 bucks? And although I could get the G2 version on show z store only Brawl is in stock and nobody else and I cant find them anywhere so I don't think I'm getting it. So can you please make another recommendations video please? Thanks and I hope you get to 10,000 thousand subs in christmas.
Funny you say that.
Also of Course you can't find it for less the 500 bucks. That's a 5 figure set, where each figure is 110 dollars to 140. That's just the retail price. That's not like scalped or anything.
@@PerspectiveEnd Oh sorry didn’t know that I just thought they inflated it on other websites besides eBay, anyways besides my mistake will you still do christmas recommendations? I mean, I’m not gonna roll on the ground crying just asking.
I think the weirdest thing about this box is that I wanted it significantly more than the first one but there’s not a single figure in the box I really want. Had 2 of the scorponok mold already, I wish parasite(skywasp) was paralyzer instead, the only legacy figure I’m more neutral to than the kickback mold is core skywarp, and I already have the sg goldbug(better colors, don’t care that the new one is a beetle). Yet I was still hyped as hell to get this, and still really like it even after buying it.
Also these aren’t characters I give a shit about. The one I care the most about is Scorponok, even by pretending that I don’t own both the reissue and the kingdom version I still wouldn’t be in love with the thing. Scorponok is my least favorite predacon from beast wars, I’m definitely not alone in that opinion
That is weird, as for me a lot of these were stuff I've had enough of at this point.
Yay finally
Hopefully some day i can get that set
You might like it, there's not a TON to it though.
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah i know
Still tho very interesting to me
I think that goldbug head is going to look good on the earthspark bumblebee
Is that what you plan to do to this thing?
@@PerspectiveEnd yep!
I look at the Earthspark bumblebee mold as an upgrade to normal bumblebee
2:29 umm yes i think that was the point
I mean it's an 80s design, but I was more saying that they could have made more attractive versions of these colors.
@@PerspectiveEnd oh ok i get your point now
imagine the er cliff mold still standing til the end of time
What do you mean still standing?
I know i joked last time that next week you would do best of wave 3 but um, almost all of wave 3 of legacy is now out on amazon or bbts :/
I've grabbed some of wave 3 from those stores, but I didn't know most of it was out now.
Jeez when even was part 1
A month ago.
Quick!Everybody Raid PE’s house with ER cliffs
My address is secret for a reason son.
Man that Goldbug is such a disappointment (still want one of the figures with that version of the mold though, curse my love for the VW beetle)
