Is it just me or is it actually funny as hell that the first thing that happens after this video is another reveal, that being the auto-converting Robosen Grimlock?
I have, on occasion, thought "hey, wouldnt it be neat to make drift a retool of Springer?" So it wasn't incredibly shocking to see that someone else had thought that.
I wouldn't sleep on Metagate simply because they made that awesome Terrorsaur a while back. Their stuff is weird in interesting ways, but I'm interested to see where they wind up going.
Leadfoot was the Blue and Yellow mirage repaint, and Stalker (the one you assumed was g2) is actually a G1 predator toy, released in the Euro G1 line that eventually got renamed G2 to match with the US lines
I really love the arms being that far apart tbh, it actually seems really cool to me. It might be my first masterpiece combiner I pick up Oh. And the tidal wave is my absolute DREAM he was one of my favorite toys as a kid
I went to my first conventions starting last year. I went to TFCon Chicago in October and Los Angeles in March. If you've never been to a transformers con, you owe it to yourself to go. It was an amazing time. I wish I could do that every month. You really need to go to one soon. There were a lot of voice actors there, which I find the best part of he conventions. Next one in Los Angeles is the 40th anniversary, it's probably going to be the best one ever. The voice actors from the G1 cartoon are not getting any younger.
@@PerspectiveEnd You really should. If you are a transformers fan, which I suspect you may be, you will not regret it, have an amazing time, and kick yourself for not having gone sooner. If Transformers were a drug, going to TFCon is like mainlining it for 2 days straight.
To explain why Bludgeon has an orange bugatti as a vehicle mode, MetaGate is repurposing their mold of Age of Extinction Drift. This would be the 3rd time they've done it (the second time being when they changed his colors from blue to red for his look in The Last Knight.)
In regards to the MakeToys seekers, that’s kinda the only thing they can produce. If you haven’t heard of the Mass Toys incident, they were basically using one of MakeToys’s factories to work on a crowdfund but turned tails and ran off with the money and some of MakeToys’s money and they haven’t been able to recover since ESPECIALLY after the Wei Jiang thing happened. Their Seekers are basically the only thing that’s coming close to keeping them afloat
5:33 Oh don't worry, they'll probably make a Cybertron/Galaxy Force color variant that will actually look cooler. 6:22 Yeah...pretty much any female proportioned bot is gonna have that kinda shell forming to a degree. It's a matter of how the kibble management is gonna be handled and how they can BS an excuse to make it work without making it dumb. (Good idea) Nicee = can be in an alt configuration or even a weapon. (Bad idea) Earcee = using a giant chunk of the backpack as an unconvincing hoverboard. 9:56 I'm semi-convinced Springer and Drift were originally interchanged by name. 11:55 wooo Tidal Wave!
They do like their Repaints. I think maybe they were trying to make the kibble look like Bumblebee wings. That is a reasonable assumption to make about Springer.
@@PerspectiveEnd SPEAKING OF REPAINTS! You hear how the Powerlink Hot Shot is going to actually include his Minicon? All at LEADER class! But wait! There's more! Kotobukiya recently showed the image and prototype for Bishoujo of Starscream (who is now an anime girl twice) but now there are just repaints of Skywarp and Thundercracker with different faces. And these statues are like $150 each because Hasbro licensing is making these cost more than usual! Wanna bet they're gonna pull a Coronation Starscream as either an event exclusive like Nemesis Prime or like Takara did with Masterpieces to get the coronation gear?
Metagate is a 3rd party company thats been around for at least a little bit, since i know ive seen a few more prototypes from them, that legends nemesis is a repaint from their normal BB movie prime, and the bludgeon is a retool from their drift so I guess they're doing that now
The white magnus color scheme used by Dr Wu for the tiny Magnus is somewhat based on the Classics version, though the shade of blue is different. You can tell it's based on the classics with its blue lower legs, black/gray hands, silver face, and yellow and blue details on the crotch.
@@PerspectiveEnd It probably started at first, but the specific paint apps they added made it clear they referenced it. They even had the typical white legged Magnus inner bot as a limited edition, and it had different paint apps.
Remember when Planet X made High Moon figures? Pepperidge Farms remembers. I guess they made the FOC Dinobots and they sold really well so their motto now is "We only make dinobots, no matter how ugly or non existent." Which is sad, but will also be hillarious if they blow through all dinobots from every continuity with the movie ones last and they still end up making a full set of AOE Dinobots before Hasbro even makes a second one.
I don't know why they think it's a good idea to make the IDW ones. 3 of the IDW Dinobots are Horribly lame, and one of them is basically a figure they already made.
@@PerspectiveEnd Yeah I know, you said in the video. Sorry about being late to the party here but I had to take a powder from your content. Technically speaking they already made all the IDW Dinobots; since, like many IDW characters, they swapped over to the high moon games for a bit. Because one of the most infuriating things about IDW was how it's art and design style would entirely change to associate it with whatever big thing is out around the time, which not only largely robbed the series of it's own identity every couple years, but also made things confusing. Cause the Dinobots had the High Moon designs for a bit, but then around the same time they made comics tying FoC to Prime and the Dinobots looked the same there, which means it was really easy to cross continuities and be completely confused. Almost like having a bunch of unconnected congruently running storylines with almost identical character designs across them all is a bad thing. I have to spend an hour explaining to someone the minute surface styling and engineering differences between ROTB, Siege, Earthrise, Cyberverse, and Reactivate Prime so they stop looking at me like I'm a crazy idiot for buying what appears to be the same thing over and over again. But when I show them Haslab Omega Prime, Armada, G.E., Animated, and RotF Jetpower Primes they're like "Okay I see, those are all different things, I can see why you'd want them all."
Mmc putting our wallets in danger with their devastator, I think the forearms in combined mode look small enough to be part of the transformation and not parts form
All they had to do, was to figure out how to make the Little Bee’s kibble in robot mode hang on the body to look as if it had bee wings and a bee stinger butt but NOPE. Gotta make another Arcee.
06:19 actually a good looking Minerva-Bee. Also that idea is unexpected but cool they pulled it off. Also cool it's a genderswapped Bee utilizing Minervas' body.
5:15 At least with the Primus, there will be like 3-4 recolors just like their Unicron. So hopefully they'll make a version of this Primus with a less silly color scheme. Personally, I hope to make a color scheme based on that toy that was released for Transformers 5. I don't know why, but the Cybertron toy looked really good in blue... I'm probably just a weirdo. 11:34 personally, I've given some thought into the master builder UT stuff and while I still adore the fuck out of the figures, I feel like they're better as replacements for the original toys than they are for representations for the characters. They do just about everything the original toys do, have a very toyetic aesthetic... but man, after the legacy prime and Megatron dropped... it's almost like a falling out of love. They're still good figures that make me nostalgic for a simpler time, but...Legacy's cheaper and looks so much more accurate...I'd still say the MB stuff is worth if you just wanna have old-school Chonk and Gimmicks in a modern design philosophy.
The company does love their repaints for sure. Yeah I don't know why they went with their own style, when I'd honestly say it was an inferior one to begin with.
Nothing I'm personally interested in but you cover it so well and don't go on about the ins and outs of a ducks asshole makes you still my favorite channel for reveals.
Id much rather have seen Maketoys re-release Dirge with the flight stand. As imperfect as it is (and it's VERY imperfect) they've probably got the best Coneheads out there. And with Ramjet and Thrust just having been released, it'd be great for them to have the full set available.
That bludgeon is deifnitly strange but that's because it's a repaint of their Drift from the 4th tf movie. It was just a cheap repaint to reuse the mold which is why it's so strange.
@@PerspectiveEnd Ah ok, I think I missed it. Also I'm sure you're flooded witht his comment but is next video SDCC reveals. Always excited for your takes on tf news.
Also, "this G2 guy?" That is Stalker, good sir. *I start taking off my glove.* Communications officer of the Predators. *I slap you across the cheek.* And I expect you to remember it from now on.
Dr.Wu is really shaping up the Magnus and wheeljack repaints look really good. MMC stuff coming out is odd but like a good odd, but why another devastator like MMC is good but we have a crazy amount Fanshobby stuff is also nice Tidal wave will be interesting to see once done and the huntsman G2 colours make brain go brrrrr. As for the official G2 grimlock it looked good but needs more stripes like on the arms or Dino neck cause they do look a little plain

Fanstoys didn't finish their Menasor or their Superion because the designer quit. He got mad they were price gouging on their figures, so he bailed and started Robot Paradise. Fanstoys then bullied stores by threatening to refuse to sell to them if they carried Robot Paradise products. A new designer had to take the prototypes and reverse engineer them, figuring out how to make the combinations work,
Is that why apparently their Transformations got better recently? REALLY! Robot Paradise is not FT under a different name, but the old Designer? Who knew that FT was just Toyworld/Zeta from an alternate reality.
Yeap. Robot paradise prices are what FT actually should cost, minus the build quality and paint downgrade. Fanstoys is easily the second most petty company ever, or maybe even tied first with zeta.
I've seen the Newage sludge and yes can confirm not the head. I was okay with the bee's initial shots til I saw the fuckign backpack holy shit. the IF mirage mould is weird. Every IF toy is very unique and stylize, but it's just mirage. I'm glad they redid the Eris head, the sculpt and paint was pretty haunting.
MMC/OX: *Previews another big boi in Defensor/Maxus Pro ad after knicking down Bruticus/Assaultus* Me: "I'm listening..." TFcon Toronto: *reveals MMC Mixmaster* Me: "WOOOOOOOO YEEEEEAAAHH BBY DATS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITIN' FOR"
@@PerspectiveEnd not sure if you're the best guy to ask, but based on your constant hawk-watching of Assaultus availability; does MMC reissue their individual members once the final member has been revealed?
Yo pe, have you seen the Robison grimlock transforming? And it’s other functions? Im actually really into him to bad his price is just pure cancer but the concept is fucking wicked
Hey Perspectiveend, just wanna say that I love watching your videos! Also, if you were to design Primus, what would you want to see from a toy design of the Transformer’s god?
that metagate nemesis is a repaint of an already existing optimus they made, yes, is about deluxe size, so...yeah, legends scale their aoe drift is truly a masterpiece, its transformation is complex yet intuitive and smooth, both car and robot modes are almost flawless, and then they also added an helicopter mode because drift had one in aoe, is not as successful and its design is 50/50 loved and hated, but is a bonus at that point
@@PerspectiveEnd when you have time, go watch any review, transforming it into helicopter is just robot yoga, but other than that, yeah one would think car to robot is a nightmare but it isnt, sadly i dont like the scale they are going for with their shatter, thats why i got sad after seeing that bludgeon head, because i really like the colors
@@PerspectiveEnd I can lol my wallet is not very excited. On a side note tho I just found u recently and I absolutely love your style, the way you talk fast get to the point and say some genuinely "hatery" funny talk is incredible. Love that your future reveal videos are shorter than most too I do not want to sit thru 30 min of some guy talking slowly just so I can see what's coming out. Thank you keep going!
I think studio 01 seed is going to probably get different figures with different paint jobs like how cell did So who knows. Maybe there might be color schemes that might befit the all mighty primus. But only time will tell
@@PerspectiveEnd Damn, you're missing out! If you can find it streaming anywhere (The DVD's are insanely expensive!), I highly recommend it. The Plot, Characters and Zoids themselves are all superb!
I am all here for cool repaints of Grimlock. The Toxitron and Shattered Glass Grimlock both actually look really cool, but all I'm asking for is a reissue of the original, which I don't see them doing until after Swoop has been released. Better hop on this train and get the other dinobots while I still can
As someone who watched all of Armada I can tell you now: Overload is only remembered as a toy, he was in the show but had no character in the most literal sense.
FUCK YEEEEAH! FANS HOBBY TIDAL WAAAAVE!!! I'm so stoked you have no idea! Jetfire, Overload and the Star saber are also on my list, but it's god damn Tidal Wave and he's HUGE!
I love the bludgeon the robot mode looks so cool and we barely get bludgeon toys and the ones that we do have the hftd is to over priced and the legacy won’t come for a other year
I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds Slingshot's head design unsettling. He looks like he's balding. As for fanstoys Menasor, I think it is possible for a Motormaster to transform into a whole truck and cab and still be the core of the combiner. I just think they would need to take liberties with the base design. That TidalWave looks amazing. I know his face looks off, but his face always looked a bit off in Armada. I hope the Legacy toy commits to a faceplate like his energon/superlink model. What are your thoughts on the Magicsquare Combaticons? I just think they're neat. By that, I mean, they look amazing.
They don't sell him Complete, only one figure at a time. They keep rereleasing it, so if you go through ShowZ or TFsource you should be able to find them new, relatively regularly.
Why the hell does one of the IDW Dinobots look like Littlefoot from The Land Before Time was skinned and then reformatted into some Technorganic abomination? That's some Cronenberg shit there.
If both Lucky Cat and MetaGate do Legends-scale figures of the Rise of the Beasts characters in the future? I'd pick my faves like Optimus Primal,Roadtrap,Rhinox, and Mirage lol.
I missed out my country’s convention so I snagged Legacy Skyquake as a compensation prize which while a good figure, I kinda hoped to attend so I could see old Tf Merch again. The nostalgia is unbeatable. Ik SDCC is a huge thing but I ain’t Gucci enough to travel AND buy shit just yet, so I wish I got to attend. Oh well, just means I can save for cosplay, guess I can get my Calliope Mori wig sooner rather than later, then hopefully next week finish my RWBY fit
Is it just me or is it actually funny as hell that the first thing that happens after this video is another reveal, that being the auto-converting Robosen Grimlock?
It keeps happening. Every time he makes a reveals video, new shit gets revealed immediately afterwards
He talked about it when it was leaked but he was looking at Warehouse pictures.
It's the Curse. It always happens.
I have, on occasion, thought "hey, wouldnt it be neat to make drift a retool of Springer?" So it wasn't incredibly shocking to see that someone else had thought that.
Praise lord perspective even with the roasts it did not hit the same for me
Great minds think alike apparently Or should I say... Masterminds?
@@PerspectiveEnd Well, apparently Cyberverse drift is based off of fan art for a triple changer drift, which is based of Springer.
His name was lead foot, and I agree, GIVE US SHINY THINGS DAMMIT.
More Shiny Things Better Shiny Things.
11:44 Finally, Starscream’s kids are finally done justice after that limp knife that came with the legacy toy.
Why are they Starscreams kids?
@@PerspectiveEnd have you seen his interactions with the star saber minicons?
1:33 just got me, out of nowhere MONKEY WITH A GUN
Monke with gun is superior to monke with no gun
@@deltron2 true
When there's a monkey with a gun you gotta warn people.
And the next day the curse kicked in
I wouldn't sleep on Metagate simply because they made that awesome Terrorsaur a while back. Their stuff is weird in interesting ways, but I'm interested to see where they wind up going.
Leadfoot was the Blue and Yellow mirage repaint, and Stalker (the one you assumed was g2) is actually a G1 predator toy, released in the Euro G1 line that eventually got renamed G2 to match with the US lines
I thought that guy had that G1.5 look to him.
I really love the arms being that far apart tbh, it actually seems really cool to me. It might be my first masterpiece combiner I pick up

Unfortunate. But what can you do? Pigeons only have as much money as they can find in the street.
It's already been 3 YEARS??? I still remember watching you for the 1st time as if it was yesterday
New reveals dropped, the curse strikes yet again!
To explain why Bludgeon has an orange bugatti as a vehicle mode, MetaGate is repurposing their mold of Age of Extinction Drift. This would be the 3rd time they've done it (the second time being when they changed his colors from blue to red for his look in The Last Knight.)
I realized that after I wrote his whole section, and appended a bit to it in the script.
This channel was my introduction to 3rd party, and it has been a phenomenal world to explore, so I'm quite happy with vids like this
I'm glad to hear I could broaden your horizons.
Alright, let's see how fast the curse kicks in
6:49 Oh God! Sludge and Snarl look like deboned chickens!
Well the Robsen Grimlock was fully revealed today.
In regards to the MakeToys seekers, that’s kinda the only thing they can produce. If you haven’t heard of the Mass Toys incident, they were basically using one of MakeToys’s factories to work on a crowdfund but turned tails and ran off with the money and some of MakeToys’s money and they haven’t been able to recover since ESPECIALLY after the Wei Jiang thing happened. Their Seekers are basically the only thing that’s coming close to keeping them afloat
That's unfortunate, but no I haven't heard the Mass toys thing? This is news to me.
Some great takes on these. However, now I'm haunted by the idea of 80s Optimus Prime telling Blaster to play his song... And then doing his thing.
NO! Why have you put this in my head!
i guarentee the studio cell cybertron will be re-released in different colors down the line, given how many they did with their unicron.
Most likely yes.
5:33 Oh don't worry, they'll probably make a Cybertron/Galaxy Force color variant that will actually look cooler.
6:22 Yeah...pretty much any female proportioned bot is gonna have that kinda shell forming to a degree. It's a matter of how the kibble management is gonna be handled and how they can BS an excuse to make it work without making it dumb.

Fanshobby huntsman is based on their double dealer and I can confirm that thing has incredible ratchet joints.
What is this about Ratchets?
@@PerspectiveEnd just watch any review of him and you should be able to hear the amazing ratchet joint asmr.
Bludgeon / Drift turns into a tank or a helicopter or whatever you tell yourself that third mode mess looks like.
This has a Third Mode?

When I looked at the thumbnail I thought that female bumblebee was animated elita 1
Interesting. I can kind of see it.
It's a interesting to see 3rd party company stuff get love the tidalwave is worth it and more Dr. Wu stuff nice and also yes to g2 grimlock.
I don't know how much the Tidalwave is going to cost, but hopefully yes it will most likely be worth it.
Id much rather have seen Maketoys re-release Dirge with the flight stand. As imperfect as it is (and it's VERY imperfect) they've probably got the best Coneheads out there. And with Ramjet and Thrust just having been released, it'd be great for them to have the full set available.
Honestly at this point them Flogging the Seekers for ever is just Bankrupting them I think. There's too many sets out there at this point.
So if they recolor Stalker into Machine Wars Soundwave, would those colors make you retract your approval?
Nah, Machine wars Soundwave got the Boring Colors.
Robosen just revealed their Grimlock today.
Saw it.
Fans Toys Tidal Wave is a must in my book and hopefully the first Fans Toys thing I will own.
It's not Fanstoys. It's Fanshobby. There are like 3 or 4 different "Fans-Blank" companies.
Honestly: kinda shame no one redesigns the combiners, like Menasors look terrible, and would be nice to see some different take on a car combiner
Yeah he really needs a rework. The IDW version was way better.
That bludgeon is deifnitly strange but that's because it's a repaint of their Drift from the 4th tf movie. It was just a cheap repaint to reuse the mold which is why it's so strange.
I figured that out after writing that whole segment and had to do an insert after about it.

Fanshobby stuff is also nice Tidal wave will be interesting to see once done and the huntsman G2 colours make brain go brrrrr.
As for the official G2 grimlock it looked good but needs more stripes like on the arms or Dino neck cause they do look a little plain
Let me tell you why, because NO ONE has ever made a good Devastator. There are lots of them, but no good ones.
Hasbro is probably Thinking of a name for the next transformer line
What makes you say that?
@@PerspectiveEnd i don't know, but they will have to very creative if they plan to keep the word Legacy in the name of their current line

They will have to rely on the movies that will come out at that point
Or they could rerelease figures or make updates to bad figures like the stinger
Fanstoys didn't finish their Menasor or their Superion because the designer quit.
He got mad they were price gouging on their figures, so he bailed and started Robot Paradise. Fanstoys then bullied stores by threatening to refuse to sell to them if they carried Robot Paradise products.
A new designer had to take the prototypes and reverse engineer them, figuring out how to make the combinations work,
Is that why apparently their Transformations got better recently?
REALLY! Robot Paradise is not FT under a different name, but the old Designer?
Who knew that FT was just Toyworld/Zeta from an alternate reality.
Yeap. Robot paradise prices are what FT actually should cost, minus the build quality and paint downgrade.
Fanstoys is easily the second most petty company ever, or maybe even tied first with zeta.
I've seen the Newage sludge and yes can confirm not the head. I was okay with the bee's initial shots til I saw the fuckign backpack holy shit. the IF mirage mould is weird. Every IF toy is very unique and stylize, but it's just mirage. I'm glad they redid the Eris head, the sculpt and paint was pretty haunting.
Thank you, that's good to know.
The thought of 3rd party minicons hasn't crossed my mind, but they scratch that itch and I need them.
MMC/OX: *Previews another big boi in Defensor/Maxus Pro ad after knicking down Bruticus/Assaultus*
Me: "I'm listening..."
TFcon Toronto: *reveals MMC Mixmaster*
Me: "WOOOOOOOO YEEEEEAAAHH BBY DATS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITIN' FOR"
Even if their Devastator isn't the best one, their individual bots will be.
@@PerspectiveEnd not sure if you're the best guy to ask, but based on your constant hawk-watching of Assaultus availability; does MMC reissue their individual members once the final member has been revealed?
Yo pe, have you seen the Robison grimlock transforming? And it’s other functions? Im actually really into him to bad his price is just pure cancer but the concept is fucking wicked
I have, he looks sooo good but so expensive.
I kinda want the Planet X sludge mainly because it can fit my animated figures. Doesn’t fit with IDW tho, animated yeah.
See that's what I'm saying.
Something I PRAY that they do is make an SS86 Wheeljack figure with a new mold...
ANd, Honestly, I bet they actually WILL!!
They better I swear to God. The ER guy is just such a sin on the name.
Hey Perspectiveend, just wanna say that I love watching your videos! Also, if you were to design Primus, what would you want to see from a toy design of the Transformer’s god?
that metagate nemesis is a repaint of an already existing optimus they made, yes, is about deluxe size, so...yeah, legends scale
their aoe drift is truly a masterpiece, its transformation is complex yet intuitive and smooth, both car and robot modes are almost flawless, and then they also added an helicopter mode because drift had one in aoe, is not as successful and its design is 50/50 loved and hated, but is a bonus at that point
It actually surprises me to hear that the transformation on that Drift isn't a Nightmare.
@@PerspectiveEnd when you have time, go watch any review, transforming it into helicopter is just robot yoga, but other than that, yeah one would think car to robot is a nightmare but it isnt, sadly i dont like the scale they are going for with their shatter, thats why i got sad after seeing that bludgeon head, because i really like the colors
Alpha Bravo appreciates you insulting his useless predecessor.
Alpha Bravo was an Extreme Improvment.
some wild reveals looking forward to it all
There is some stuff in here that I can't wait for.
@@PerspectiveEnd I can lol my wallet is not very excited. On a side note tho I just found u recently and I absolutely love your style, the way you talk fast get to the point and say some genuinely "hatery" funny talk is incredible. Love that your future reveal videos are shorter than most too I do not want to sit thru 30 min of some guy talking slowly just so I can see what's coming out. Thank you keep going!
Funny enough, I was just watching your content earlier, glad to be early to one of your videos ^^
Happy to have you early, even if I'm responding late.
5:52 behold, MESHMASTER
LOL.
"I don't think anyone wants this!"
Jobby the hong laughing in the corner:
Also that motor master with 2 trailers seems sick to me! But not done well
I think studio 01 seed is going to probably get different figures with different paint jobs like how cell did
So who knows. Maybe there might be color schemes that might befit the all mighty primus. But only time will tell
Very likely, at least we can hope for the better paint job.
I cannot wait for piss-Grimlock to be released near me! I missed out on the original run of the mold.
It looks like a great way to get the mold.
I’m probably not going to TFCon but I’m 100% gonna try and get some of this stuff.
I mean it's over at this point.
Lol.
Those IDW 'Dinobots' look like Zeke the Organoid from Zoids: Chaotic Century.
I never watched Chaotic Century. I did watch the one with Bit Cloud though.
@@PerspectiveEnd Damn, you're missing out! If you can find it streaming anywhere (The DVD's are insanely expensive!), I highly recommend it. The Plot, Characters and Zoids themselves are all superb!
I am all here for cool repaints of Grimlock. The Toxitron and Shattered Glass Grimlock both actually look really cool, but all I'm asking for is a reissue of the original, which I don't see them doing until after Swoop has been released. Better hop on this train and get the other dinobots while I still can
Yeah it does need a Reissue too, people shouldn't be forced into one of the repaints for their only representation.
That tital wave is awesome. I really want it. also the toxictron grimlock is cool too... I somehow still don't have that mould.
A lot of people couldn't get their hands on that grimlock.
That Stalker is one that I want. I never go for 3rd party, but Stalker??? I NEEEEED HIM
He is juicy looking in those 90s colors.
Cant wait for more metagate stuff so far there drift and terrorsaur have looked awesome
Oh wait? they made the Terrorsaur? That thing is good.
@@PerspectiveEnd yeah its pretty neat
As someone who watched all of Armada I can tell you now:
Overload is only remembered as a toy, he was in the show but had no character in the most literal sense.
Fair, since I don't remember him at all.
Tiger grimlock looks better than I thought he would honestly
Indeed he does.
Are you interested in robosen grimlock? I have just seen videos of self-transforming grimlock and immediately rushed here to see your opinion.
I am way more so than with their Optimus, but not for that Price. I do not have that kind of Scratch.
1:34 That KO optimus primal gorilla form be like : 🗿
I fucking love that bludgeon
Are you his Mom? Cause that's a face only a mother could love.
Glad you like it more than me.
@@PerspectiveEnd idk something about bludgeon having live action drifts body is such a no brainier to me
FUCK YEEEEAH! FANS HOBBY TIDAL WAAAAVE!!! I'm so stoked you have no idea! Jetfire, Overload and the Star saber are also on my list, but it's god damn Tidal Wave and he's HUGE!
I'm glad that UT Fans have at least one company catering to them.
oh neat they’re finally releasing bandit
Bandit?
primaus and tiny bumblbee movie bumblbee r the things I am the most excited for and happy 3rd year anaversery
It aint here yet. But thank you!
Actually cool armada stuff, nice I really hope we get an official titan tidal wave
I think it's probably going to be leader or Commander if I'm honest.
@@PerspectiveEndwell, that aged.
My figure I’m most excited for is Primus, not a fan of the color scheme but I bet he’s gonna get a bunch of repaints
"monkey with a gun"
When a monkey has a gun, you are required to say it.
Damn it, FansHobby got me with the Tidal Wave
They getting everyone.
@@PerspectiveEnd Then a huge issue with the figure shows up and makes it a huge letdown
That prowl looks like what I recently ordered, hongtl (I think) prowl/smokes two pack that’s anime styled.
What is this about smoking?
@@PerspectiveEnd ha, smokescreen and prowl by hongttf horrible posing but great!
I really thought you were gonna make a big fuss about toxitron grimlock
The curse strikes again
Like a Shitty Drunk Husband.
New reveals the curse continues….
GUN GORRILA
Gunkie.
I love the bludgeon the robot mode looks so cool and we barely get bludgeon toys and the ones that we do have the hftd is to over priced and the legacy won’t come for a other year
Ehh. I mean the head is really what kills it for me.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds Slingshot's head design unsettling. He looks like he's balding. As for fanstoys Menasor, I think it is possible for a Motormaster to transform into a whole truck and cab and still be the core of the combiner. I just think they would need to take liberties with the base design.
That TidalWave looks amazing. I know his face looks off, but his face always looked a bit off in Armada. I hope the Legacy toy commits to a faceplate like his energon/superlink model.
What are your thoughts on the Magicsquare Combaticons? I just think they're neat. By that, I mean, they look amazing.
WHY THE FUCK DID THEY GO WITH THE DREAM WAVE PRIMUS, WE WERE SO CLOSE TO GREATNESS
This video was worth me staying up to 12 AM lol
And also my internet blacked out a minute after I published my comment
Glad to hear that you felt that way. Where do you live that you are 5 hours behind me in time.
@@PerspectiveEnd like Australia, worst internet place
I might have to finally go in and find mmc's bruticus somewhere cause where i can never find him complete anywhere, ill definitely need him
They don't sell him Complete, only one figure at a time. They keep rereleasing it, so if you go through ShowZ or TFsource you should be able to find them new, relatively regularly.
@PerspectiveEnd by complete I meant the whole team at one time without one or two being sold out
Why the hell does one of the IDW Dinobots look like Littlefoot from The Land Before Time was skinned and then reformatted into some Technorganic abomination? That's some Cronenberg shit there.
If TH-camrs were 3P companies, perspective would be MMC.
Thank you for these kind words.
If both Lucky Cat and MetaGate do Legends-scale figures of the Rise of the Beasts characters in the future?
I'd pick my faves like Optimus Primal,Roadtrap,Rhinox, and Mirage lol.
When do you plan on making the prime roast? Also I don't care is the plastic looks brittle, that bludgeon looks sick!
Hopefully this month.
tbh the only thing i really want is that G2 grimlock god it looks soooo good
I figured that'd be the case with a lot of my audience.
I missed out my country’s convention so I snagged Legacy Skyquake as a compensation prize which while a good figure, I kinda hoped to attend so I could see old Tf Merch again. The nostalgia is unbeatable. Ik SDCC is a huge thing but I ain’t Gucci enough to travel AND buy shit just yet, so I wish I got to attend.
Oh well, just means I can save for cosplay, guess I can get my Calliope Mori wig sooner rather than later, then hopefully next week finish my RWBY fit
Tidal Wave will be 600$ Can. Calling it now considering Overlord/Double Evil was 400.
That's brutal. In the US those guys were only like 200.
