QUICK APOLOGIES: At 1:33, I mention ER Wave 2 was going to be exclusive to Amazon in Australia. Apparently this is false; it's Wave 3 that's going to be exclusive, not Wave 2. Wave 2 has started showing up on shelves across Australia at the time of this video's release. Best of luck hunting.
Seriously? Megatron and Quintesson are on there right now but I don't wanna have to get the whole damn wave off there when I've never bought off them before.
It's what Griffin said on ozformers, and that word comes directly from Hasbro. If they change their minds that'd be great (like exhaust at EB), but we'll see
I do agree with the comment on Slugslinger and Misfire. In all honesty, the removal of the torso spin from their transformations took out to wow factor that Triggerhappy has. Good review!
BOOM! LOOK IT"S ME TWICE! 0:290:40 Also really weird I didn't find the Walgreens Earthrise Bluestreak even though last year they had the ratchet for 2 and a half months but still very ood.
I love this figure! On mine one of the big cannons on the sides of the jet points up a little too far but it’s okay because his character is insane so I wouldn’t expect him to be perfectly symmetrical.
Honestly I am so happy I got triggerhappy when I did cause he’s honestly one of the most fun figures I have. He looks amazing and I have a tough time just keeping him to one mode
I would have added that making him a headmaster also gives him another playpatern; a playset. Granted, the entire line had it, but the vehicles benefitted from it greatly.
I made a fan base mode and I use the combined gun as a speeder bike of sorts for Blowpipe. I put the mode in a video on my channel about fan modes for him but right after I made the video (like mere hours later) I decided pulling out the shoulders all the way to make little parking spots for the speeder bike looks better.
I can completely agree with this video. Love the figure, I've unfortunately lost my weapons aswell, and the bits on the wings that stick out forward in vehicle mold have broken off, but I still love him all the same.
On my copy, in jet mode the cannons are slightly misaligned, so one points more upward, You don’t really notice unless you look at it dead-on, but it still bugged me for a while. Then I realized it’d probably make sense for Triggerhappy’s personality for the cannons to be misaligned.
>perfect tolerances *Cries in my Triggerhappy having the loosest waist hinge to exist, to the point where it can't be tightened* In all seriousness, great review as always, it's always great to see why a figure has the attention it gained after being released Though it makes me more disappointed in the fact that I seem to be the ONLY person to have a Triggerhappy that refuses to stay together at the waist to the point where I'd have to get a new one to replace it.
I feel proud to own this figure I got it when Titians return was new and I still love it to this day its not my favorite deluxe figure, siege sideswipe still takes that honor but this is certainly my favorite Titians return figure
@@DrLockdown yeah though there is one unfortunate problem the dreaded GamesWorkshop grey or is it I don't know I'm not that good with specific shades of colours
@@rhyperiorhunter7339 Nah it's this weird shade that's halfway between stone and light grey, with this weird 'shine' effect that doesn't work properly. Granted, Games Workshop doesn't actually use that colour anymore, but the term's already caught on.
I picked up a trigger happy a while ago on recommendation from Perspective End and this vid and I gotta say while I loath the headmaster gimmick to hell and back it’s easily one of my top three favorite figures from TR. though I say that as overlord and broadside of all figures is also in the top tree in that order. My taste may be crap but broadside gives me joy for some reason.
Okay, I was looking for some G1-ish Cons like TR Octane to act as backups in case I fail to nab Movie Jetstorm and Legends Slipstream and Nightbird for my G1 Con roster. And you, my good doctor, have convinced me to chase this last starfighter down, both as a Transformer, and as a fighter jet. And even if he wasn't going to be in my "cast", I'd still get this thing and pretend this boi is my personal space fighter!
Question, though, and my fuzzy swiss cheese brain can't even remember if you brought it up here or the Doubledealer vid I just watched, but why exactly did Takara F off around season 3, hence the Japanese continuity, only to return around Beast Wars AFAIK? I can't seem to find why.
I don't know either. All I know is they did their own thing with Japanese G1 (a lot of which was still released outside of the US), and then when beast wars kicked off they started working together properly again
So they didn't ACTUALLY start working together until BW, and as far as the whole of G1 was concerned, they were like those classmates that just copied each other's homework instead of actually studying and working on it together? Not sure that's the right metaphor, but it's the best one I got.
Kinda. After Hasbro licensed the diaclone moulds, Takara just decided to release all of their future toys under the transformers brand. It's why later figures don't have a diaclone release
Since seige blowpipe has a 3mm peg on the bottom of his gun mode you can actually plug him into the stand port in vehicle mode. You do have to fudge with it to get him to look mediocre and it will never sit flat
I've been extremely excited for the Doubledealer review, but I don't know why. I feel completely indifferent towards the figure and know nothing of the character. Maybe I just want to see you tear something apart. Also this review was good
So that’s how Triggerhappy transformed I always wonder that, as I don’t have it I never saw it anywhere and at the time I didn’t have my own steady stream of money so I couldn’t buy off of Amazon, but I do have Slingshot (or was it slug slinger I can’t remember) and Misfire, and I like their figures so hey if it’s reissued I’ll pick it up. And I have to agree with you on the Transtechtors idea as oppose to the Hasbro “their Autobots and Deceptacons with organic partners which really never made sense to me and it’s why I love Takara’s explanation for everything from Headmaster to God Masterforce (god that name was corny but *beep* it that’s what makes it fun) with God Masterforce getting a pass mainly due to the fact that the Autobots like Ginri aren’t alive so it makes sense (I know it’s ironic that I want a series about giant living robots to make sense but that’s just the story teller inside me) and for me my favorite Deluxe has always been Optimus Prime from the Armada line maybe it’s because it was the figure that introduced me to transformers or it’s because it’s the only figure I’m actively hunting down but either way nothing can change that. Final note when I was playing around with my Misfire I twisted the waist around folded up the legs into the chest and put the hands away and I’m convinced that when Takara gets around to making a Start Saber (that will either never get released in the US promoting me to import it or it will get released and I’ll never *beeping* see it) It will probably be the misfire model that gets used for Stars main robot form.
My favourite transformers figure of all time I’m not joking at all here this figure in my opinion it is perfect You don’t need to fold down the nose cone to get the titan master in
I have a video up on this guy. I love this one. I did some mods and a bit of pant work. I think you might like it. Check it out, I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
AGAIN you lose an accessory? Seriously, WTF are you doing with your figures? Are you chucking them around your house only to try and play hide and seek with them years later to discover something missing? Keep them posed within eyeshot or secured in a sealed box to keep everything intact. Sorted.

His transformation is a lot like topspin and twintwist
Man I own TR triggerhappy and you've Perfectly explained why he's so fantastic
Is it just me, or does Triggerhappy look like Deadpool wearing an Optimus prime helmet?
I do agree with the comment on Slugslinger and Misfire. In all honesty, the removal of the torso spin from their transformations took out to wow factor that Triggerhappy has. Good review!
Triggerhappy was actually my first generations figure ever. So i had a fantastic start heh
Same!
@@Mr.FlashlightStudios same
Mate I missed out, never realized how good this guy is
Me too bro
I really want a voyager of this guy and his bros, such a great figure.
I'm fine with the deluxe one. He's just so perfect
BOOM! LOOK IT"S ME TWICE! 0:29 0:40
Also really weird I didn't find the Walgreens Earthrise Bluestreak even though last year they had the ratchet for 2 and a half months but still very ood.
Pandemic means less stock
didnt know he was blast effect compatible, that's awesome.
It's an awesome coincidence
Who on Earth Says Slug Slinger is better!?!!
Who Said It! Why'd they do it! Where are they? Can we find them? I'm gonna go find them!
People be weird at times
Oh so that’s where the term “triggerhappy happy shoulders” comes from
I just called it “soundwave shoulder syndrome” because of the ss bbm toy
This toy predates those by a long shot.
I love this figure! On mine one of the big cannons on the sides of the jet points up a little too far but it’s okay because his character is insane so I wouldn’t expect him to be perfectly symmetrical.
I am liking Dr Lockdown contents more and more!

Damn. Maybe he'll get reissued. We can only hope
Looks pretty good.
Btw thanks for the Tipp for spinistor, i got him today and the help from the top 10 Video helped me to transform better
Glad it helped. Stumbled upon it by accident
Hopefully one day they make a masterpiece version of Triggerhappy
That would be nice, although I doubt it would have a transformation this good
I feel proud to own this figure I got it when Titians return was new and I still love it to this day
its not my favorite deluxe figure, siege sideswipe still takes that honor but this is certainly my favorite Titians return figure
It's an absolute winner
@@DrLockdown yeah though there is one unfortunate problem
the dreaded GamesWorkshop grey
or is it I don't know I'm not that good with specific shades of colours
I don't believe it is. It's much lighter
@@DrLockdown i don't understand Games Workshop grey i thought it was as light as can be

My taste may be crap but broadside gives me joy for some reason.
I wish the combined gun could plug into the pegs on the back of the shuttle so it sits where the G1 did.
4:00 Yup.
My favorite use of the mold is Either Sonic Bomber MetalHawk or Slugslinger
I never liked Metalhawk, and honestly I feel the original is better than Slugslinger thanks to the torso rotation during transformation.

Mine gets here Friday :)))) cant wait
Since seige blowpipe has a 3mm peg on the bottom of his gun mode you can actually plug him into the stand port in vehicle mode. You do have to fudge with it to get him to look mediocre and it will never sit flat
Tried that. The 5mm peg gets in the way of the 3mm one
@@DrLockdown yeah you have to flip the gunbarrel part around to the other side via detaching it.
Huh...I'll try that some time
I completely forgot about how good Titans Return was.
Also fun fact trigger happy has a some what unindented secret mode he can do the gerwalk mode from macros :P
Ive always thought this could be reworked into an xwing and with the crosover thing being a thing now i can still hope
Dunno if they'd do one with star wars. Disney may not be so open to it
@@DrLockdown yeah but i can hope
I got Triggerhappy and Twinferno at the same time to!
I've been extremely excited for the Doubledealer review, but I don't know why. I feel completely indifferent towards the figure and know nothing of the character. Maybe I just want to see you tear something apart.

Thanks mate.

Doubt Takara will take another shot, since they did the MP. It's a shame too; said MP was deeply disappointing
Love this guy, hate how he’s over 70$ as of today on Amazon
Facebook marketplace and a whole lotta patience.
Don't settle for ridiculous prices.
WOW.... I never had seen you been THAT HAPPY But be carefull.Other wise you will lost your self in TOYGAZAM for who knows how long...
Согласен, он реально крут. Жалею, что в своё время его не купил.
15:43 CHEEKI BREEKI IV DAMKE!
Triggerhappy Havoc!
This is amaz
I think after the Review of double dealer you'll hate him even more
Spot on. I'm finding it very frustrating just filming it
@@DrLockdown oh boy that will be a deal with the devil to finish
PrimeVerbosePrime 😂
Are you going to review universe octane anytime soon?
Nope. Don't have much to say
@@DrLockdown ok, you Airways say you liked him, so i understand
I do. If I end up having an idea down the line, it's possible, but at the moment it wouldn't make a very good video.
Ok
I luckily got this figure but I ruined it with a shitty paint job -_-
So you have Rotorstorm by now. How is he?
Good. I prefer spinister's colours though
Shoulder
My favourite transformers figure of all time I’m not joking at all here this figure in my opinion it is perfect
You don’t need to fold down the nose cone to get the titan master in
It just looks bettet
Good video kenneth. Personally i think triggerhappy and titans return in general was a little overrated
I'm not Kenneth
@@DrLockdown ah apologies Trevor
Who am I, an alcoholic Belmont?
I had to make a deal with something worse than the devil ( my parents) to get one
Triggerhappy was bought just after I finally got disposable income. It's a good feeling, buying your own stuff.
Ihave him and,ilove the new titians..theold headmasters wereok..but new one are somuch nicer
I have a video up on this guy. I love this one. I did some mods and a bit of pant work. I think you might like it. Check it out, I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Pretty sure Thew used “leighties” in a video.
Recently. This predates that.
@@DrLockdown I wasn’t saying you ripped him off
I just thought it was a strange coincidence
