Fun fact: there’s actually a second repaint of these two that was sold at one of the Tokyo Toy Fairs. With them being made after the G2 characters Dreadwind and Blackwing.
These two are at the forefront of why RotF figures are so good. I'm surprised they never rereleased this line's bangers. I'm surprised they never released in G1 colors with Skystalker in his Headmaster Vorath(?) colors or recolored as Needlenose and Skyquake.
To make Laserbeak's bird mode even better try clipping the weapons onto the robot mode forearms while in bird mode. It gives him a tail, and I reckon it really improves the look of the bird mode.
Oh yeah, ROTF\HFTD scouts were amazing! Seaspray's little buddy Breacher had wrist and ankle articulation, a waist swivel AND an ab crunch, he can easily keep up with the best of WFC\Legacy\SS'86.

Breacher is still the best scout ever. I have purchased nine of them over the years, and a Takara one, which has a darker blue paint.
@ Nine Breachers!? Oh man, that's awesome! Wish the little blue guy would be revisited as a deluxe or even voyager class figure, the design easily deserves it. In general, as much as I like T30\Prime Wars era legend class and the current core class figures, they just can't hold a candle to how nice some of those late 2000s\early 2010s scouts were.

I’ve had the rotf Mindwipe since I was a kid, and I still love it to this day. Nothing has broken off, so he’s held up great over the years. The only thing is his arm blades gimmick doesn’t like to flip out anymore when you push the button, but it’s not that important to me. Such an awesome figure! I have to get that skystalker mood someday
After watching this video, I went out and got the pair. when playing around with it for the first time, I realize he totally DOES have an ankle joint. it's only got one indent, but you can make his ankles tilt inward so he can stand in a wide-legged stance. it's very subtle and if you weren't messing with it, chances are you completely Miss it. try it out!
Great review Jcc2224!! There is a fan made combined robot mode, which you can achieve by shoving Laserbeak/Skystalker into Mindwipe's chest. This is due to a rumor that these figures were originally supposed to combine in both robot and alt modes. Keep on being amazing.
Great video! Thank you! Yeah, I got Mindwipe and Skystalker separately, and when I found out they can combine, my mind was blown, because they were already independently great figures in their own right. Every so often, you get a really, truly amazing figure amongst all the repaints, retools, and "Big Four" (Optimus, Bumblebee, Megatron, & Starscream) revisions, and they seem to be getting fewer and further between, these days.
I’ve had the mind wipe since I was a kid and to this day still one of the best toys I have ever owned, looks like now I need to find a sky stalker mold as well
Sadly I wasn't able to get the originals when they came out but I do have the bacon and egg combo that came out in the hunt for decepticon line when they appeared at TJ Maxx and I love those two. Even if the mind wipe mold is hard to stand up on its own in robot mode lol
These are two mold I have not gotten my hands on and have always wanted to. They do seem like good molds that have worked for a few different characters.
I got the sunspot and strafe versions of this mold, they look nice together but sunspot is a decepticon and strafe is an autobot but still look great together.
Not got the laserbeak original, but the laserbeak colors seem work better. Hate Asian exclusives... impossible to have the funds for the shipping... :(
@@turogamer-oi4nq wath I'm trying to say is that asbro had so many opportunities four successful repaints of fugures to turn them in to other characters and they almost never did it the correct way. Some repaints do not fit the character and stuff like that....
Mindwipe is a figure I've been searching for, though Im gonna have to add that Skystalker/Laserbeak to my list. That Laserbeak would look pretty cool alongside my Bumblebee Soundwave and Ravage.
Unfortunately due to where I'm at I have no shot in finding this guy for cheap, so thank you sir for convincing me to drop $100+ on a figure! This dude looks Soo worth it

I love those molds as well! I have the Tokyo Toy Show 2010 set too. But to be honest, I was expecting them to have metallic paint, because of the promotional photos and was somewhat disappointed.
I forgot about this figure, it was one of the best of the line. Did you know the red collar was actually misassembled and is supposed to be in front of the head? Good luck, i think you have to pull out a very long pin to fix it
I own the Takara Tomy Tokyo Toyshow repaint of this guy. It was a 2 pack with Dreadwing and Smokescreen (a redeco of Skystalker. Unfortunately, my Smokescreen is broken beyond repair. But a great figure none the less For anyone seeking more knowledge about this particular figure To my knowledge, there are three variants out there of the Mindwipe figure mold, the first being Mindwipe himself. Then Rotf Reveal the Shield Autobot Strafe. And finally the Blue redeco botcon Dreadwing. Of the Skystalker figure mold there are actually four different variants. Skystalker, Lazerbeak (Asia Exclusive), Sunspot (white & yellow redeco) and Smokescreen. A blue repaint made to pair with the Dreadwing figure.
Almost said it was funny seeing a movie toy used as Laserbeak pre-DOTM but then I remembered, oh no, GDO was 2012 so that would have been after. It was probably the fact that the original mold was a ROTF toy that threw me off.
Lmao I was just looking for these figures last week. I adore that mindwipe mold. Shame I couldn't find one for a reasonable price. But what're ya gonna do about it. Maybe one day though
i hope I'm able to get Mindwipe one day. i got Strafe because he was like $30 and oh my god hes incredible. the wings having a giant autobot logo spread across them is so hilarious and stupid i cant help but love it the blood red on Mindwipe is amazing and his voice in Cyber Missions was genuinely terrifying EDIT: i like to interpret the gold on Laserbeaks face as his visor, the silver as a beak and the black as his lower jaw
I'd absolutely love to grab Mindwipe and Skystalker, but their prices (at least on the sites I've looked for them in) are absolute insanity online... I love how these figures look, but I'm not gonna sell my soul for them
If Hasbro plans to make a Studio Series or a Legacy version of ROTF Mindwipe an Skystalker that i would immediately buy it that i would give Hasbro all my money if they plan to make Studio Series ROTF Bludgeon that what i want to see a modern version of ROTF Bludgeon in the Studio Series toyline
I hate how I keep proving to myself that there’s no perfect figure. The brittleness of the red daggers was a red herring. ITS GOT GOLD PLASTIC! The 4 spots I see it the most is the ankle and wrists where they crack. I think it’s where the goo meets during molding because mine has a line in the wrist where the other broke. Also yours has some cracks.
I'm so annoyed. I got the original version of that Lazerbeak re-colour. But i've lost a majority of the parts somewhere in the house. I hate my younger self for not caring for the more rare transformers Edit: Watching the vid now, we NEED a modern release for this guy in Legacy, it's soooooo cool
I love how ROTF and 2007 use to just create original random molds that still fit in the movie line 😅
Sad this trend has fizzled away, cause these are so cool
I had a depth charge and I lost him somewhere, I hope I find him one day
I was stoned watching cyber missions and it was such a fever dream
Lol
Thanks for commenting this lol,I'm gonna rewatch it now
@@_MECHA_ your very welcome. good luck💀
dude the episode with soundwave is a nightmare lmao
sounds intense
In case you didn’t know, mindwipe’s alt mode is actually based on the F-117 Nighthawk
My brain doesn't have space to remember real world vehicle names of Transformers but I appreciate it! lol
Hes gotta save room for clone trooper lore give the guy a break lmao

The ROTF and Hunt for the Decepticon era is some of the best Transformers eras ever, toy-wise, if not the best.
Lazarbeaks head looks like a gold Arkham knight and I love it
Fun fact: there’s actually a second repaint of these two that was sold at one of the Tokyo Toy Fairs. With them being made after the G2 characters Dreadwind and Blackwing.

The Fallen was actually thought for some time as a stealth bomber in alt mode so you're not that far off with that Fallen comparison

I actually like Mindwipe. But I feel like people are gonna look at him as a Shadow the Hedgehog as a transformer. But I really love the design
Haha. He's made entirely of EDGE.
I remember Thew Adams complaining this was the design they should have used as the Fallen in the second Bay film.

Both :)

The only thing i dont like is i don't think you can put any other weapons into his hands
Yeah that woulda been cool to do, but he has SPRING LOADED UNDERHAND DAGGERS. I can live without anything else. lol
I like mindwipe
Great molds and repaints, including Strafe, but the G2 TTS set is the best and most cohesive repaint of both molds by far.
I feel like these two guys took some inspiration from the Makuta in Bionicle's Phantoka wave
I have Mindwipe and he's bloody awesome! I hope I can find a Skystalker for a reasonable price some day soon

it was repaint Mindwipe and Skystalker into g2 dreadwing and smokescreen form the 2010 or 11 Tokyo toy show exclusive

Update found this figure online for a good price! $60! he'll be arriving shortly, thank you for selling me on this amazing figure
