Fun thing I originally found on the internet - If you don't like the Mr. Fusion constantly falling off the rifle if you look at it wrong, you can plug it upside down into one of the forearm ports, and it becomes kind of like a watch like Marty's looking at on the movie posters. Or the ones Doc wore.
At first, when the Patreon email came in and the link went nowhere my heart sank to the floor and I was utterly devastated. I could only imagine what hiccup led to it but my day was absolutely MADE upon receiving the new updated email. And what a BANGER of a review this is! Always wonderful seeing someone else's perspective and bring up points that I had never considered. I think in general I'm more lenient cause I know I'm able to fix most issues I have with these figures, but I also wish the paint job out of the box lived up to the excellent molded details. And HOLY DOUBLE SHOUT OUTS dude! Much appreciated! You know, after the repaint, my Jiga McGigawatt is a tad delicate, but I would have WHOLE HEATEDLY lent it out to you. I don't know if he'd survive a stop motion session though, lol. 😂👍🏼Thanks again for the excellent content!
yeah idk if he'd survive a stop motion session either (especially with that wooden knee haha), probably would've just been the comparison piece to film alongside my own haha
Honestly I personally love the usage of the sideswipe mold, it a different flair to the g1 bot modes I'll be honest, there's too many robots with the Jazz/datsun style Headlight tits Door wings Taillight toes The only thing I wish the sideswipe mold did was had the g1 door kibble in robot mode
the power cable hook can also be stored in robot mode using 5 millimeter ports located on the insides of the doors. That's a new location for ports and tbh it'd be cool to stick some guns there in vehicle mode considering the gull wing configuration
I've still not opened my copy, a strange mix of not knowing where or how to display him and loving how good he looks in his box.. I'm not even a misb collector. Anyways, thanks for the most in depth look I've had into Jigawatt, shout out to Seth.
For someone who hasn't watched back to the future till recently and enjoys the car, I think it's pretty fun. I agree with the back legs being shown for the front. Also, there's a gun storage underneath the hood in vehicle mode, which is neat if you haven't been told 100000 times
Love the part where Gigawatt yanks the wire and knocks over Thundercracker and Skywarp. Eh it's alright but I think I prefer the Gigawatt you looked at in a previous review. Double the price of a deluxe makes my wallet sad too.
I wouldn’t have mind if they made this guy a premium finish and painted him metallic with all of those details picked out. They literally did us dirty by not painting him metallic like they did with the prototype
The gun does stow in car mode, just behind the front bumper on the bottom. Not quite hidden if you look closely from the front, but a decent job of it and no more trouble for ground clearance than the normal undercarriage bits.
Epic video The Lazy Eyebrow!!! Despite his flaws, Gigawatt has become my favorite Collaborative Transformers figure. Outstanding work on your custom Collaborative Series figures, especially K.I.T.T.! Keep on being amazing.
I dont know how else to put this but I love the ad segments in your videos. I'm more inclined to let the ads play since you added the "commercial break" animations. Great work always look forward to your videos.
This figure may be flawed, but to be honest I think it adds to the charm. The Transformation works exactly how you'd imagine it would, especially when you consider this design has been around far longer than the figure itself has. (Somebody made a costume of an identical design over eight years ago.
Two things I'd like to point out. The figure isn't a licensed DMC product, DMC isn't mentioned anywhere on the box hence why it lacks the DMC logo on the grille. I even own a model of the BTTF Delorean that also lacks DMC branding, so I suppose universal has full rights to everything but the DMC logo. And the second thing is that the alt mode is actually painted, you'll notice some scuff marks in the paint on the frunk at 3:20, my copy also has some paint chipping too around the panel that flips around to become the Flux Capacitor on the chest.
Looking closely at the figure it seems he's indeed painted but in a flat not mettalic grey over grey plastic, I'm prettu sure of it as the light reflection is different from the insides of the car which are not painted
@@TheLazyEyebrow completely agree, maybe to get closer to the not so reflective metal of the car, but it's not that flat. Double checked and it's indeed painted, hard to see with the molded details but you see the light acting differently on the smoother parts of the car.
You bringing up Sunstreaker in the comparison with how the robot mode is handled actually does give me the thought of what a Gigawatt done from that mold would have looked like. The techno kibble on the shoulders, the gull-wing doors on the legs, it might have been more interesting.
Surprised that the comic book was not mention... Also, we might see Gigawatt again but with a minicon, that becomes the hover-board (as seen in the comic book). But not sure as the delorean from the third film or the time traveling train. I do recommend the comic, its a neat fun adventurer and you did another awesome video, thumbs up
Nah, don't apologize for being honest with your analysis, you're passionate about vehicles as much as you're for the robots, that's unique, that's part of why we come here!
I got my Gigawatt for Christmas last year, and the first thing I tried to do was get rid of the collar piece on the back of the neck, and somehow made it so the hood doesn’t go back all the way up. I now kinda hate that I still have it because it’s not a Transformer anymore, and I can’t use the best quality of the figure, the vehicle mode
This was my first modern Transformer. It got me into the hobby of collecting these toys. 2020 was the perfect time to start. Now, I have so many! But this was the one that made me take a hard look at Transformers and decide “these things are really cool now”
I got two by mistake, one I ordered almost a year ago from the official BttF site, and the other I saw at a hobby shop. I'm kinda glad because the one I got from the hobby shop, its hood with the flux capacitor snapped off…
Really I noticed how underwhelming the silver was when looking at the robot mode legs, the front of it has some of that texture that mimicks the brushed steel, implying that piece came from outside fenders but all that detail just gets lost in the unpainted gray
One of the details I liked on this is the time circuit display is the "blink and you'll miss is detail" for the time departed display(yellow) it reads Nov 12 1955 6:00pm the time Old Biff traveled from to get back to 2015 after giving himself the sports book. You see it for less than a second when they travel from 2015 to 1985A.
I'm glad I got a chance to watch this. Ive been doing a fast from watching TH-cam videos that wasn't preaching. But I'm still glad I got the chance to catch up with my devotion to God
"...As useful as (the hook) was in the first movie." Was it thought? Was it REALLY? Was there any reason why they couldn't just put the car on a couple of chocks a comfortable distance away from the clock tower, and maintain a steady speed of 88 MPH without risk of running into anything or running out of cord? (I mean OUTSIDE the necessity of a more entertaining climax. lol) 6:17 - A little thing to be impressed by, but man, that is some nice easing in and out with Thundercrackers legs. 😁 12:36 - "Uh, I-I'm a lamp post!" This review's making me miss the BTTF ride at Universal. *sigh*
Or if literal speed is an issue, driving around in the middle of open field during the storm with a big lightning rod would've probably done the trick too haha
I think they aimed for a fair middle-ground on this guy and hit it. They won over a lot of fans simply for attempting this, including myself... and little things like the hover-conversion wheels, Mr. Fusion, the time circuits on the chest, those push the nostalgia buttons. Most figures Hasbro puts out could be better with more paint or better articulation but until a 3rd party does them right, it's often "this is better than nothing" for the Generations line.
Actually, that brushed look on the car, in a certain light, gives it a sheen, with the brush interrupting the reflection, and it gives it a metallic affect, which is totally lost under really bright direct light. There is a similar affect with the head lights, that look really cool...in some light. I actually like it...because I have never seen these details on any other toy. Its creative...and works well enough.
With all the flaws I still gotta give credit to Hasbro for changing the color of the windshield, remember when that thing was just crystal clear letting just some holes and plastic marks behind?
Taking another look at the box, I can’t find DMC licensing on it. But a cool thing is one of the box’s side flaps opens down like the truck trailer at the beginning of the first movie. Dinobot (Beast Wars) Blackarachnia (Beast Wars) Starscream (G1) are my top three, with the first two often trading spots.
This toy sets my imagination in overdrive, trying to think of how to make a much better transformer out of this vehicle. I'd go for Sunstreaker or Wheeljack, honestly. Turn that massive front end into some chonky robolegs and the time machine details into a backpack; might be more visible than sticking it on the back of the legs. While I'm okay with the complaints, your grievances with these figures feels pretty valid (I feel those Canadian prices...) I do hope you can review something you enjoy. Thanks for the videos, Mr. Eyebrow.
I love your vids! I also love my gigawatt! It's one of my favs in the collection! Of all the similar molds available, I think they went with the best option. I don't think they could have pulled off the wheels and doors gimmick on any other deluxe. I do dearly wish they added the silver paint though.
I think it would've been better if this was just a new mold entirely. BUT I think that Hasbro gave the designs a smaller budget for this figure, let me explain: For the DeLorean you need licensing from whoever owns the license, plus I'd assume the license from the car company, which is a good amount of money. The designs were probably gonna do more with this figure but with the budgeting for it they just couldn't.
I was so annoyed with the head, that I took the figure apart to sand that plank down. Unfortunately, in removing and reassembling the figure I managed to strip the screw. Luckily I got it out, but considering my TFC Madblender that has a completely stripped screw holding in the weak AF combiner knee, I nearly had a heart attack. By the way, do you have any tips for removing stripped screws? The one on madblender is deep in a hole and stripped to hell (came that way used for the record). I need it out so I can strengthen Devastator’s knee that otherwise is a weak floppy mess, with all the weight being bore by Scapper (which can’t be good for it)
4:56 Jose's painted windows look really good, because he actually used like a glossy finish, I'll give you that. But every other time I see painted windows, they break the illusion of this being a car. It looks like painted plastic, not windows. Using different materials to represent different materials is a good idea to me. If not, then I at least want the windows to look like windows, not wooden toy cars my mom bought me as a kid, with a drawing on the front. Toyhax windows remind me of those toys. What kind of window looks like a Microsoft gradient?
Bit of a reason for that. He painted the inside of them. Bit of both worlds there in that you're not looking at the interior of nothing, but you still have the deoth of glass As for Toyhax' gradient, I personally really like it. Rather than just a flat sticker to cover over the window, it gives it a bit if tinted window depth But to each their own of course. If you don't like it, more power to you
I snagged mine from a Game Stop in my home town and they had all toys at that store on clearance so I got him for under 30 bucks usa. I personally LOVE this guy I have him part of my BTTF collection on my desk. Fun fact there is a buddy of mine named John Spangler who does custom movie based cars out of hot wheels and and he did his own delorean based transformer named Steelskin and he was based on a G1 Sideswipe so it is funny that this figure is based off of Siege Sideswipe.
Yeah, love the figure. Other than the fact I accidentally broke my thumbnail from trying to flip the chest piece and lost the gun and Mr Fusion piece for months! Only to find it in a place I looked at a bunch of times… I love life.
I somehow managed to find one for $69aud brand new although I sadly got a defective wheel with him although it's not hard to put back in when it falls out

YES I love this figure just wish it has more articulation

You see it for less than a second when they travel from 2015 to 1985A.
I may not have this guy, but I do have Ectotron.
And he just stands out in my small collection!
The texture in the "metal" just makes this mass production toy look like an unfinished 3D print.

Yeah, love the figure.
Other than the fact I accidentally broke my thumbnail from trying to flip the chest piece and lost the gun and Mr Fusion piece for months! Only to find it in a place I looked at a bunch of times…
I love life.
I somehow managed to find one for $69aud brand new although I sadly got a defective wheel with him although it's not hard to put back in when it falls out
7:09 I would so love to buy that transformers toy KITT there
Okay, we need the details on that KITT.
