The main reason I love this channel is because of how genuine and down to earth you are, and how mindful and generous you are to your community. You’re one of the real ones, guy
Thank you very much. I am just so happy to be able to entertain people like I do, and I never want to burden any of you. I love bringing people joy, so that would be against everything that makes me happy.
Watching your channel grow over the last year has been an absolute joy. Your output has become a part of my semi-daily routine. You have more than earned the ‘right’ to start a patreon.
Yeah but I definitely didn't want to start it this way, I wanted it to be "Hey if you want to I have a tip jar." not "PLEASE I"M BEGGING YOU I NEED MONEY TO LIVE!!!"
I personally like both figures in the set. I like the amount of retooling that went towards making Sideswipe into an earth car, even though the Siege was already passable. Skywarp i like a lot because, well, eagles are sweet birds. And while its not super convincing that its not a man doing funky yoga, it still looks good enough for me. I really do hope you find success with Patreon though! And I'm hopeful you'll be able to keep on trucking with this! We'll all be here for you!
Thank you for the well wishes, and this is a decent figure and the other isn't bad either, I just don't see this as any kind of upgrade, but if you are enjoying it, I'm happy to hear it.
I like this set honestly, this sideswipe looks better with sunstreaker than the siege. The skywarp is also a cool lil character to have. I'd like to have a combiner version but this works for me.
And that's perfectly valid, the only problem is justifying it when the knees are worse, and the thing comes with like 30 dollars of toy you might not want.
So happy there's a Patreon now. I love being able to support creators I enjoy. I'd say stop beating yourself up over opening one. It's kind of you for being so concerned of others. Here's hoping people are financially stable enough to support creators they enjoy too.
I'm fine with it, wanted it for the Skywarp anyways (love the reference in the specific cartoon) but I have a soft spot for the Countach and Sideswipe, mostly that it's my first MP figure
Yeah the one that was given to you by... Was it the BBTS? Also if you end up not liking the Kingdom Rhinox can you do me a favor? In the eventual Review just say "The Anti-hype is real!"
Exactly what u said about sideswipe having great dna but falling short as a descendant is how I feel about the kingdom waspinator. I found him yesterday and bought him. He feels cheap in hand, small, spindly, his “blaster” sucks, and everything wants to run into each other. Not to mention wasp mode despite being “realistic”, you can most obviously tell that it’s not which I know has been a problem with Waspinator but damn, I want the thrilling 30, I know where I can get one so I might have to get that one and return this one. The one thing I can say I like is the fact that he looks good with the other predacons (despite being shorter than blackarachnia) and I like the purple on him although I would have preferred clear wings as they would have been more show accurate. His head is definitely better than the T30 in terms of paint tho.
The Thrilling 30 figure might be less good than you think it will be but who knows. Why is Waspinator smaller than Blackarachnia, he was above average for the show? Why univerzzze hate Wazzzpinator!
When it came to the Siege Sideswipe figure, I brought it. But the dirty white on him, didn't really sit well with me. Then this Kingdom Sideswipe was revealed. And I like this version more. The white is clean and the red shines better than the Siege version. Sure, there are some little changes to the mold compared to the Siege version, but it just looks cooler. As soon as this earth mode Sideswipe was revealed, I gave my Siege version away and awaiting my Battle Across Time 2-pack cope of him and Maximal Skywarp.
Perhaps seeing a list of the next few figures you’ll be reviewing in the correct order could be a perk. Also I should be able to donate £5/roughly $6.25 soon.
@@PerspectiveEnd it could actually be a good idea to make that just something at the end of each video, if any new viewer sees what’s next that may make them more willing to stick around? Just a thought
I never got any previous version of the mold. So having this guy is a delight and the Skywarp is a great bonus. The purple on the original airazor just bugged me to no end for some reason so the entirely new head fixes that for me. All in all, I'm satisfied with this set. Great review
Thank you very much. Yeah the DNA of this figure is very good, it's not tremendously worse, just slightly and it has it's own advantages. If the knees bent the same as ever I don't even know that I'd really call this worse.
I got this toy from Amazon a month ago. I have to sand off the white paint on the flat tab of the launcher, so I can attach it to his left shoulder better. Yeah, Hasbro and Takara should've casted his weapons in white plastic instead of using leftover stock of black weapons and paint them white...
I was watching this at 2am and the section of the song that sounds like a kid screaming just gave me a heart attack and i just bounch off my bed and hitted my head on the rough concrete wall and the loud thump woke up everyone
I think they left in the windshield detail because ER Sunstreaker has that on his (It's less pronounced due to seams running through it, but it's there.)
I got this set because I never had a Sideswipe before (except that old really bad Cyber Battalion figure). I'm just on a hunt for earth modes (except Mirage), and I just really like this guy. He animates well in stop motion too.
The original animates slightly better, but yeah this figure is still good, so if you've never had one this is a fine way to start if you also want the Skywarp.
Coming back for a second time to mention, one use I see for this guy is the ability to have a new Sideswipe, freeing Siege up for the toyhax conversion set into Gobots Optimus for those who want a Chug version of the mold.
Fantastic review PerspectiveEnd!!!!!!!! Be glad your copy of Kingdom Sideswipe did have the issue mine did, where one of the wheels did not even spin, due to some excess plastic not being removed from the inside of the wheel. (grunt) :P That said, I enjoy that the windows on Kingdom Sideswipe are the same as Earthrise Sunstreaker. :D Keep on being amazing.
When I got my Siege Sideswipe, all the joints were loose and he couldn't stand up at all. I also prefer the colors over the siege figure. So I really prefer the Kingdom one.
i gotcher back when i get paid bro...i actually look forward to your videos. Would hate to wake up in the morning and your videos not be there.. your nihillistic approach to reviews brings me joy
@@PerspectiveEnd not just that, you'll shit all over bad figures instead of trying to prop them up. You also call out weak remolds that done deserve to double dip on.
@@PerspectiveEnd I thought he already does that cause he’s a pompous a**hole, why else would Sideswipe want to prove himself to his brother in the comics?
Thank you for the vote of confidence. If you can't help with the patreon, you can help with the recognition at least. Just share the videos around when ever possible, youtube seems to not be doing that it self as much lately.
I mean 1 out of three is technically a really bad ratio. Like if we take your statistic and apply it to everyone who buys a Sideswipe that would be 33% of everyone breaking their figures.
I had it in pre-sale... Then I decided to just kept my Netflix /Siege Sideswipe and that's all, even I checked Ebay and they basically are selling just Sideswipe for the price of both on Amazon, since on amazon still on stock.... So?..
Honestly I think this looks better then the previous one, especially in the white I’m not sure if that’s just the camera but something about it just pops.
My ark's right shoulder ratchet shaved off its connection to the plastic. So the ratchet is in tact but it isn't connected to the plastic it was on anymore. Which means the arm is basically hanging on by a thread. It won't fall off but it's loose as HELL. I recommend going in to the arms and loosening the tooth that moves the ratchet. Either by sanding down a little or compressing the ratchet tooth so it passed the ratchet easier. I did it for my left shoulder and it's a lot less tight now but can still hold a pose.
I am so sorry to hear that man. That sucks. Thanks for the warning. I knew those felt way too aggressive. Man way to go Hasbro your highest tier items break.
I hear it's better now, and my brother played it when it first came out, and he INSISTS he didn't have near any bugs. I don't know how that's possible.
There’s something so addicting about transforming this bloke to me, I literally can’t stop it. Hell, I even love Skywarp aswell, he works as an amazing little display piece for the beast wars figures. It’s just a damn good set IMO. Honestly, my only issue is that Skywarp’s feather colours look more like Airazor’s colours than Airazor does lol
I don't know, I still feel like he's not dark enough brown. And I think that of the transformation for the original one, this one just doesn't satisfy me on that front here.
@@PerspectiveEnd eh, I can’t compare tbh, I didn’t get the original one since I bought this pack for skywarp but I woudlnt be surprised the siege felt better since it was likely meant to only be that. Honestly it still just makes me wish we get an Airazor with show accurate colours because as of now, her feather colours look too similar to rhinox’s hide colours and it makes the group look a little less dynamic all together
Coming back because I happened into a Gigawatt and was curious what you thought about it's toolmate... As Gigawatt came before Kingdom, I suspect they reused gigawatt's leg retooling, which had the vents on the back of the delorian collapse into the back of the legs, but due to the design, reduced knee bend to about 1/2 of Siege's
For the higher tier patreon is allowing someone of that tier (or higher) be able to chose a subject of a non-figure review video, like talking about that toy line of Transfomers handled incorporating their gimmicks the best, or how your thoughts on how other Transformers toylines could have been improved.
Funny thing, on carousell (its like Singapore's Facebook marketplace) some guy was selling ONLY the Kingdom sideswipe so I didn't even need to pay for skywarp it was like 40 SGD. Life's funny
I personally love the bright red on this Sideswipe, it just does it for it me. For the Patreon, why not make it that the Patrons can vote on what future videos are about, people who don’t support the Patreon can still suggest videos and stuff though.
My copy of Siege Sideswipe's chest flap doesn't flop about easily. In fact, the chest is pretty secure when in robot mode. I do have the floppy legs on my copy of Siege Sideswipe.
Your comment about the painted missile sticks out to me here. I managed to get a Kingdom Red Alert before this pack arrived to me and I compared the two. Red has the same accessories, but his gun and missile launcher are unpainted black plastic with a red missile. But on further imspection, it was really a white missile they painted red. Then I saw Sideswipe's missile was a red one painted white. What exactly were their thought processes here? Painting a piece surely costs extra, so why make it in two colours and paint them the opposite colours. I just feel like all logic with it was thrown out. Damn, I am a lot more wound up about this than I thought.
I will tell you precisely why. That missile is on the same Sprue as part of the robot mode, and not with the rest of the launcher. So some part that's black on Red Alert and Red on Sideswipe, comes with that missile as part of it.
I feel bad that this channel is suffering issues. I do hope that you can find a new way to resolve this. Be that making less videos but being able to take on a second job to get funds or any other number of ways to keep this channel running. Any way this goes, This channel has been a joy to watch and I would hate that it becomes a burden on your shoulders. Please do what is best for you and I hope you keep going strong!!!!
Making fewer videos will stunt my channel, I need to be able to keep up what I've been doing or risk youtube no longer recommending me to new viewers. And this channel isn't a burden, the world is a burden on the channel.
Good luck with the Patreon. Once your income is stable I recommend opening a PO Box. I can’t afford to send money but I can absolutely send over a figure or two to give you more material to work with.
Thing is I don't want to take your stuff some of my biggest regrets are getting rid of my old figures. Plus shipping is a thing my guy if it's 15 dollars to ship something, you could patronize me 1 dollar a month for over a year. Not to sound ungrateful for the offer, I'm just saying it's probably more expensive to send me something, and it loses you that thing.
Thankful to have your input on this figure. I wish they could get their 'upgrades' dinner in a way that felt like it was. I like certain parts of this mold, but overall I like the siege feel more. I wish I could somehow cannibalize both figures to make one great figure.
Yeah, I agree, but no joke, I found a takara sideswipe for £899.99 and the normal hasbro sideswipe is roughly £50+tax anyway so I might as well get a slightly worse figure along with skywarp anyway.
I own a few versions of the siege mold as I suspect most people do, being the netflix sideswipe, siege red alert and kingdom netflix deep cover (blue sideswipe) and I was really interested in kingdom red alert, just because I really enjoy these figures, but walgreens exclusive kinda kills it for me, and this one is amazon exclusive, so can't get that either, kinda hurts a bit but oh well
@@PerspectiveEnd Same, I got netflix sideswipe as my first siege figure (I got in late) and liked red alert enough in siege to grab him in toy form when I found em in walgreens, I got deepcover just cause I liked the blue lol
Maybe a monthy Paetron only vote for which of a list of feasible figures you review in a designated Paetron "sponsored" episode. (Feasible meaning, not $800 figures) at some tier. then maybe the highest tier could be "This guy basically paid for the figure of this Episode and my meals for the next week for much larger donations"
Well I don't know that I can buy new figures through a vote but I was thinking that people could vote on what I will review soon. I originally wanted to call 20 dollar donations "Deluxe Class" because that's the price of a deluxe but that felt like it might be demeaning.
Dang well I hope you are going to get better for this. I really love your videos. Anyways loved the review I'm only getting this 2-pack for Sideswipe, I really don't care at all for Maximal Skywarp so he is going to stay on my shelf forever.
I missed out on Siege Sideswipe because Australian retailers are fucking _dire,_ so this guy's gonna be my Deluxe WFC Lambor once my Pre-Order ships in December.
Well I'm glad you get a chance at the mold, this is only BARELY less good than the original. The gut hole, and lowered knee rage are all that really holds this back so you should still be quite happy with it.
Man maybe this pack is hard to find, but not harder to find than Netflix bumblebee. Anyone remember when that happened? I sure don’t. Also I hope you raise enough money man!
Was rewatching this video to see if anything was different with this mold of the character and the shatter glass version that comes with whisper and Rodimus, oh boy is the shoulder blaster connection terrible! The tip of the gun just constantly wants to pop off if touched even the slightest, Mini Con is great tho 😅
Your the only person for a good reason why i should try patreon but sadly i dont got the money for it i do just enjoy your videos and how you balance everything out like the pros and cons. kingdom sideswipe may be a down grade but i still love it.. great video👍
That's fine, if you don't have the money then I understand. Maybe just tell a friend or a Message group about me if possible. And it's still a good figure, it's just not AS good.
I sent an email to you about the birthday shout out request. First of all, I’m sorry if the email was written weird or something. The only emails I know to write are formal ones, usually about college. You’re the first TH-camr I’ve sent any email to. About the Patreon, I can’t donate anything at the moment as I’m in college and my financial situation isn’t too great. I think I’ll be able to donate once I get a part time job, which I may get much later. I’m sorry that I can’t help you out with this, but I just wanted to say that I love your content and appreciate the work you put in for it. Really hope you get big sometime in the future, cause you deserve it!
There was nothing weird about that email. That's perfectly fine, I don't want your money unless you can afford to waste it, I never want to be any cause of hardship for any of you. And thank you. If possible maybe just share my videos when ever you can, Cause TH-cam doesn't seem to be doing it that much of late.
@@PerspectiveEnd I don’t know anyone personally who loves Transformers, but maybe I’ll share your channel on a discord server or something. And will the birthday shoutout be at the end of the month?
It's fine if you can't thank you for the consideration, maybe just share them around because youtube seems to be suppressing the channel a little of late. I'm getting way fewer views than normal.
Anyone else think the seige sideswipe could pass as a generic autotrooper? Like sideswipe just has that generic look in my opinion for just a regular autobot
Happy to see a Patreon, I'll definitely donate what I can, when I can. You've earned it, and its been a pleasure to watch this channel grow over the last year and a bit. As for the figure, yeah, I already have the Siege version, and I don't really like this, nor do I like Skywarp, so I just skipped the set.
So I have this set and there are actually somethings different from mine to yours. On your figure the chest taps in and the knees are floppy on mine the chest refuses to peg in properly and the knees don’t flop around the down side is the car bits around the knees where the pins are has already start to mar hopefully it’s like my Siege Soundwave where the maring isn’t a sign of breaking as my Soundwaves hand pins haven’t broken yet
I got the red alert version yesterday and I have 2 siege moldes(black deep cover and sideswipe) and I gotta say, I can’t tell which is better, the darn thing is slathered in crisp-white paint but it’s almost unpleasant to handle and the posing is a little underwhelming, and there are a some paint chips straight out of the box, but it makes up for that for having a NICE looking robot mode and Lamborghini type car. Also I got g2 ramjet and I gotta say, it’s great, the fake cockpit is a little annoying on the normal star scream but I see the head not being the front of the plane that bad, it’s just not big enough for the part it needed to be in. Wow, did not anticipate this being as long as it did, take care, and did you get a few inches of snow?
No dude, I live in California, Snow never happens here. I have never seen snow I didn't have to drive up a very far away very big mountain for. And yeah the posing is very basic on these guys, how does it feel unpleasant to handle it?
Ahhhhh the return of the weapon to surpass metal Gear! Also, dont feel bad about starting the patreon, you made it feel like you were actually taking cash from us. Anyways sideswipe, i prefer kingdom. The siege smudges and washed colors always brought siege down for me. This is what i needed. Too bad it was....packed with the airrazor mold (i dont like it)
I knew people missed that one, and this video needed at least a little levity. I made it feel like I was taking cash from you? As Thew once said, "Unfortunately it was packaged with 50 dollars of toys I don't want."
@@PerspectiveEnd no, you made the patreon thing sound like its absolutely horrible and stuff. Its not. For a channel as big as yours (in the context of transformers) i would have expected you to already have one.
Gee I wonder what being pinned feels like
This only works so many times before it stops.
I’ve never Got Pinned like anywhere XD

And that's perfectly valid, the only problem is justifying it when the knees are worse, and the thing comes with like 30 dollars of toy you might not want.
I think that this Sideswipes is perfect… for Sideswipe only. Maybe it can be retooled (yes, again) into a G1-reimagined movie Bumblebee.
An interesting idea, though I don't see hasbro doing it.
With the new Concept Art Sunstreaker, i don't think it's possible

It’s that one set with that other figure that no one really wants.
Yeah this is definitely the lesser of the two sets.
Exactly because I don't want Maximal Skywarp at all....
I had it in pre-sale... Then I decided to just kept my Netflix /Siege Sideswipe and that's all, even I checked Ebay and they basically are selling just Sideswipe for the price of both on Amazon, since on amazon still on stock.... So?..
Really? I must have bad QC on my Kingdom one because the stomach doesn’t want to stay tabbed in at all
Sorry to hear that, yeah for me this one is better at that than the original.
Honestly I think this looks better then the previous one, especially in the white I’m not sure if that’s just the camera but something about it just pops.
The white is very nice. It's just the rest of the figure has some issues. But yest the white is better.
The siege figure and the New kingdom figure do have backward movement on the sholders but its on a ratchet, so you need a bit more force to move it.
I am so tempted to try that, but it feels like I'm going to break the thing before it moves.
Also did you know that the er cliffjumper was rerelased in the buzzworthy bumblebee line but with a new paint job.
My ark's right shoulder ratchet shaved off its connection to the plastic. So the ratchet is in tact but it isn't connected to the plastic it was on anymore.

I hear it's better now, and my brother played it when it first came out, and he INSISTS he didn't have near any bugs. I don't know how that's possible.
There’s something so addicting about transforming this bloke to me, I literally can’t stop it. Hell, I even love Skywarp aswell, he works as an amazing little display piece for the beast wars figures. It’s just a damn good set IMO. Honestly, my only issue is that Skywarp’s feather colours look more like Airazor’s colours than Airazor does lol
I don't know, I still feel like he's not dark enough brown.
And I think that of the transformation for the original one, this one just doesn't satisfy me on that front here.
@@PerspectiveEnd eh, I can’t compare tbh, I didn’t get the original one since I bought this pack for skywarp but I woudlnt be surprised the siege felt better since it was likely meant to only be that. Honestly it still just makes me wish we get an Airazor with show accurate colours because as of now, her feather colours look too similar to rhinox’s hide colours and it makes the group look a little less dynamic all together
I don't understand why they couldn't paint the back of Skywarp's head brown. It would actually hide it in beast mode.
Coming back because I happened into a Gigawatt and was curious what you thought about it's toolmate...
As Gigawatt came before Kingdom, I suspect they reused gigawatt's leg retooling, which had the vents on the back of the delorian collapse into the back of the legs, but due to the design, reduced knee bend to about 1/2 of Siege's
I mean the siege had the same engineering for the legs the tabs just weren't as long.
For the higher tier patreon is allowing someone of that tier (or higher) be able to chose a subject of a non-figure review video, like talking about that toy line of Transfomers handled incorporating their gimmicks the best, or how your thoughts on how other Transformers toylines could have been improved.
That's an interesting idea. I might just do that.
Funny thing, on carousell (its like Singapore's Facebook marketplace) some guy was selling ONLY the Kingdom sideswipe so I didn't even need to pay for skywarp it was like 40 SGD. Life's funny
Nice! Though to be fair thats still a deluxe for like 30 USD.
Perspective, imagine this Sideswipe in Silver and charcoal black to look more like the movies. It would look perfect
Why would that be an improvement?
if only youtube would give this man more money for his effort
They do... A VERY small amount. About 15 dollars per video.
@@PerspectiveEnd RIP
in all honesty i prefer the siege one over the new one. the more muted colours are nicer to my eye
That's an interesting viewpoint to have, in that case I do whole recommend the original in near every way.
I personally love the bright red on this Sideswipe, it just does it for it me. For the Patreon, why not make it that the Patrons can vote on what future videos are about, people who don’t support the Patreon can still suggest videos and stuff though.
I was thinking of having that happen a least a few times a month yeah.
And yeah I prefer the red here too.
I bet my great grandkids will find this mold on store shelves
At the very least in every flea market in the world.
My copy of Siege Sideswipe's chest flap doesn't flop about easily. In fact, the chest is pretty secure when in robot mode. I do have the floppy legs on my copy of Siege Sideswipe.
I've seen so many complaints about the Sieges chest, I just thought it was universal at this point. Weird.
Your comment about the painted missile sticks out to me here. I managed to get a Kingdom Red Alert before this pack arrived to me and I compared the two. Red has the same accessories, but his gun and missile launcher are unpainted black plastic with a red missile. But on further imspection, it was really a white missile they painted red. Then I saw Sideswipe's missile was a red one painted white. What exactly were their thought processes here? Painting a piece surely costs extra, so why make it in two colours and paint them the opposite colours. I just feel like all logic with it was thrown out. Damn, I am a lot more wound up about this than I thought.
I will tell you precisely why.
That missile is on the same Sprue as part of the robot mode, and not with the rest of the launcher.
So some part that's black on Red Alert and Red on Sideswipe, comes with that missile as part of it.
I feel bad that this channel is suffering issues. I do hope that you can find a new way to resolve this. Be that making less videos but being able to take on a second job to get funds or any other number of ways to keep this channel running. Any way this goes, This channel has been a joy to watch and I would hate that it becomes a burden on your shoulders. Please do what is best for you and I hope you keep going strong!!!!
Making fewer videos will stunt my channel, I need to be able to keep up what I've been doing or risk youtube no longer recommending me to new viewers.
And this channel isn't a burden, the world is a burden on the channel.
I’ll get Armada Wheeljack to experience this mold.
It's nothing too special but it is very nice.
I gotta say, I love your content. So entertaining and funny and I am glad I’m not the first person to say that
Thank you, I'm sorry that the beginning of this one was such a downer.
I'm going to get this and Sunstreaker so I can have both of the brothers together again at last.
I can understand why you'd want to do that yes.
Happy birthday Sus-soundwave-looking-cassete
I know I don't trust that whole Average thing either.
@@PerspectiveEnd He's always Been right under our noses
Good luck with the Patreon. Once your income is stable I recommend opening a PO Box. I can’t afford to send money but I can absolutely send over a figure or two to give you more material to work with.
Thing is I don't want to take your stuff some of my biggest regrets are getting rid of my old figures.
Plus shipping is a thing my guy if it's 15 dollars to ship something, you could patronize me 1 dollar a month for over a year.
Not to sound ungrateful for the offer, I'm just saying it's probably more expensive to send me something, and it loses you that thing.
Thankful to have your input on this figure. I wish they could get their 'upgrades' dinner in a way that felt like it was. I like certain parts of this mold, but overall I like the siege feel more. I wish I could somehow cannibalize both figures to make one great figure.
Yeah I mean you could probably do the arms and thigs off this thing, but not much else.
My seige sideswipe never had those problems. I guess someone is just bound to get a bad one.
The problems that the knee joints can't bend 90? The Siege one is great.
@@PerspectiveEnd no the seige version. Not the kingdom version.
Oof I was thinking of trying to get the kingdom red alert but those knees
Yeah these knees are a serious downgrade.
Great review! I personally don’t have a sideswipe in my collection so I hope I’ll get my hands on this figure as soon as I can!
Thank you, like I said this isn't bad but if you find the normal one for normal price that's probably the better deal.
Yeah, I agree, but no joke, I found a takara sideswipe for £899.99 and the normal hasbro sideswipe is roughly £50+tax anyway so I might as well get a slightly worse figure along with skywarp anyway.
At least his shoulder can have the cannon on it…
I mean thats a quality the old one had too.
Good luck with the Patreon, Perspective.
Thank you. It's giving me a little hope for the future of the channel.
Figure looks good but im just gonna go for the red alert instead
That is the cheaper and possible better alternative.
Come on guys we need more heralds of perspective. If we get enough we could have a council of perspective!
I'm amazed that I have any, thank you for the support. I can't believe how lucky I am to have fans like you guys.
You should do merch as well. It gives people more options on how they want to support you.
I'm still trying to figure that out right now so we will see when that happens.
6:25 who are You Wheeljack?
I do a solid impression of him at least.
@@PerspectiveEnd lol Pretty Sure we all Do If we don't get enough sleep
I own a few versions of the siege mold as I suspect most people do, being the netflix sideswipe, siege red alert and kingdom netflix deep cover (blue sideswipe) and I was really interested in kingdom red alert, just because I really enjoy these figures, but walgreens exclusive kinda kills it for me, and this one is amazon exclusive, so can't get that either, kinda hurts a bit but oh well
I like these but not enough to get too many of them.
@@PerspectiveEnd Same, I got netflix sideswipe as my first siege figure (I got in late) and liked red alert enough in siege to grab him in toy form when I found em in walgreens, I got deepcover just cause I liked the blue lol
It kind of felt weird how when I got this set, I enjoyed the Maximal Skywarp over the Sideswipe.
Well on Wednesday we will see if I feel the same way.
Soon, I’ll hopefully be able to do the $20 tier.
I mean that would be amazing but if you aren't financially secure enough to not miss the money I don't want you to do that.
Seems you got a good one cus from what I've heard mine and most Kingdom Sideswipe waist tabs still don't lock in.
If that's true then it's stupid as hell and I need to deduct a point from this.
Maybe a monthy Paetron only vote for which of a list of feasible figures you review in a designated Paetron "sponsored" episode. (Feasible meaning, not $800 figures) at some tier.
then maybe the highest tier could be "This guy basically paid for the figure of this Episode and my meals for the next week for much larger donations"
Well I don't know that I can buy new figures through a vote but I was thinking that people could vote on what I will review soon.
I originally wanted to call 20 dollar donations "Deluxe Class" because that's the price of a deluxe but that felt like it might be demeaning.
Dang well I hope you are going to get better for this. I really love your videos. Anyways loved the review I'm only getting this 2-pack for Sideswipe, I really don't care at all for Maximal Skywarp so he is going to stay on my shelf forever.
Thank you for the thought. And You might want to reconsider picking this two pack up.
When both of the 2 packs first came out i had them both in my cart and when I clicked check out they were both sold out
That's nut's they were in stock for me just a few days ago. So if you do still want them you might be able to pick them up.
I think something's up with your Spin-out there
Spin-out? Who?
I missed out on Siege Sideswipe because Australian retailers are fucking _dire,_ so this guy's gonna be my Deluxe WFC Lambor once my Pre-Order ships in December.
Well I'm glad you get a chance at the mold, this is only BARELY less good than the original. The gut hole, and lowered knee rage are all that really holds this back so you should still be quite happy with it.
Honestly this looks closer to sun streaker to me now and I don’t think it makes sense that there brothers and red alert isn’t
Well you see this is a Toby McGuire Jake Gyllenhaal situation right. They look just like they could be brothers even though they aren't.
This is a cool figure and I hope you can keep going and making these videos
Thank you very much. Do you realize the first time I shouted you out was last Christmas? Man time flies.
Man maybe this pack is hard to find, but not harder to find than Netflix bumblebee. Anyone remember when that happened? I sure don’t. Also I hope you raise enough money man!
Thank you, and yeah that Bumblebee was so rare, and so good it was such a stupid problem.
I wish Hasbro would have made a Siege version of Sunstreaker. The Siege Sideswipe version looks so much better especially with the Toyhax decals.
Yeah that would have been sweat.
Was rewatching this video to see if anything was different with this mold of the character and the shatter glass version that comes with whisper and Rodimus, oh boy is the shoulder blaster connection terrible! The tip of the gun just constantly wants to pop off if touched even the slightest, Mini Con is great tho 😅
That's unfortunate. I didn't think it would be that flawed comparatively.
Your the only person for a good reason why i should try patreon but sadly i dont got the money for it i do just enjoy your videos and how you balance everything out like the pros and cons. kingdom sideswipe may be a down grade but i still love it.. great video👍
That's fine, if you don't have the money then I understand. Maybe just tell a friend or a Message group about me if possible.
And it's still a good figure, it's just not AS good.
Honestly, I like this, but, I'm quite happy with my Generation selects deepcover
That too is probably a less compromised version of this.
Now I wonder what Skywarp is like. Guess I'll see wednesday!
Yes you will.
I like the stuff in the pack, though seen as I already have airazor and I’m planning to get kingdom red alert so I doubt I’ll be getting this
That is the cheaper and logical solution.
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah, plus they’ve put the siege Netflix wave back up on pulse so I can just get a sideswipe that way
I sent an email to you about the birthday shout out request. First of all, I’m sorry if the email was written weird or something. The only emails I know to write are formal ones, usually about college. You’re the first TH-camr I’ve sent any email to. About the Patreon, I can’t donate anything at the moment as I’m in college and my financial situation isn’t too great. I think I’ll be able to donate once I get a part time job, which I may get much later. I’m sorry that I can’t help you out with this, but I just wanted to say that I love your content and appreciate the work you put in for it. Really hope you get big sometime in the future, cause you deserve it!
There was nothing weird about that email.
That's perfectly fine, I don't want your money unless you can afford to waste it, I never want to be any cause of hardship for any of you.
And thank you. If possible maybe just share my videos when ever you can, Cause TH-cam doesn't seem to be doing it that much of late.
@@PerspectiveEnd I don’t know anyone personally who loves Transformers, but maybe I’ll share your channel on a discord server or something. And will the birthday shoutout be at the end of the month?
The return of the king (my birthday is on October 24th and I'm turning 19....god damn...time really does fly.
Happy Birthday, and take it from someone who just turned 30... Yeah it does.
I really wish that I was able to donate, because these videos are usually the high point of my day.
It's fine if you can't thank you for the consideration, maybe just share them around because youtube seems to be suppressing the channel a little of late. I'm getting way fewer views than normal.
Did anyone saw the new Batman trailer??? It was soooooo awesome!!!
I heard that it happened but I have not seen it yet no.
@@PerspectiveEnd mate just see it. That trailer is freakin awesome!! And then please tell me your reaction to it
Good luck with the patreon
Thank you I'll need it.
a potential perk could be teases at future reviews
I was just thinking of that my self. I was planning on calling it, "Who's that Cybertronimon"
im getting siege optimus in this tuesday
NICE!!! I both hope and expect you will love that.
Anyone else think the seige sideswipe could pass as a generic autotrooper? Like sideswipe just has that generic look in my opinion for just a regular autobot
I mean hasbro is clearly trying to make him that considering how many versions of this mold they've released.
My QC on Sideswipe is a bit worse than yours. My legs are REALLY loose and there’s a bit of paint chipping on my shoulder cannon.
That sucks sorry to hear that.
You can actually Get some Backwards Butterfly with the siege Mold, not sure about this one tho.
Mine will not flex like that and if yours does I worry that it could damage the figure.
@@PerspectiveEnd oh ok, Mine feels sturdy, weird.
Happy to see a Patreon, I'll definitely donate what I can, when I can. You've earned it, and its been a pleasure to watch this channel grow over the last year and a bit. As for the figure, yeah, I already have the Siege version, and I don't really like this, nor do I like Skywarp, so I just skipped the set.
Yeah I don't think this set is really worth picking up. And thank you, any amount helps.
So I have this set and there are actually somethings different from mine to yours. On your figure the chest taps in and the knees are floppy on mine the chest refuses to peg in properly and the knees don’t flop around the down side is the car bits around the knees where the pins are has already start to mar hopefully it’s like my Siege Soundwave where the maring isn’t a sign of breaking as my Soundwaves hand pins haven’t broken yet
So what I'm hearing is that the QC is just mangled.
@@PerspectiveEnd yep
This is a bit off topic but I’m curious if your gonna do a ss 86 sweep review? I the sweep and prefer the color scheme to the scourge.
I was not planning on that, and I did not pick one up before the great financial calamity so the odds are slim.
I wonder how many repaints this is going to get
God... So Many.
I just got the kingdom one from a flee market and my copy does not have the chest section connect securly, he looks so good though
Sorry to hear yours still has that old flaw, glad you are enjoying it none the less.
I think I’ll stick with siege sideswipe
That would be my recommendation.
I got the red alert version yesterday and I have 2 siege moldes(black deep cover and sideswipe) and I gotta say, I can’t tell which is better, the darn thing is slathered in crisp-white paint but it’s almost unpleasant to handle and the posing is a little underwhelming, and there are a some paint chips straight out of the box, but it makes up for that for having a NICE looking robot mode and Lamborghini type car. Also I got g2 ramjet and I gotta say, it’s great, the fake cockpit is a little annoying on the normal star scream but I see the head not being the front of the plane that bad, it’s just not big enough for the part it needed to be in. Wow, did not anticipate this being as long as it did, take care, and did you get a few inches of snow?
No dude, I live in California, Snow never happens here. I have never seen snow I didn't have to drive up a very far away very big mountain for.
And yeah the posing is very basic on these guys, how does it feel unpleasant to handle it?
Ahhhhh the return of the weapon to surpass metal Gear!
Also, dont feel bad about starting the patreon, you made it feel like you were actually taking cash from us.
Anyways sideswipe, i prefer kingdom. The siege smudges and washed colors always brought siege down for me. This is what i needed. Too bad it was....packed with the airrazor mold (i dont like it)
I knew people missed that one, and this video needed at least a little levity.
I made it feel like I was taking cash from you?
As Thew once said, "Unfortunately it was packaged with 50 dollars of toys I don't want."
@@PerspectiveEnd no, you made the patreon thing sound like its absolutely horrible and stuff. Its not. For a channel as big as yours (in the context of transformers) i would have expected you to already have one.
