They could’ve given us someone like G1 Swerve. It’s literally a good repaint for Gears after we get Smallfoot in Gens Selects. But good luck finding Optimus and Soundwave
I personally prefer the blue toy colors over the purple show colors as I had the OG toy as a kid. It's the Ravage that annoys me though. I'm guessing him and Laserbeak are made as one sprue, hence Buzzsaw, but I wish they also redecoed him into a different character like Howlback instead.
I know, right?! I never even took it out of the damn box! I got the one in the Bridge set though. I might get this new one, but then again, I would rather stay with the one from the Bridge set and replace all the cassette bots with KO MPs than use the ones Hasbro made for Siege and Studio Series. The only figure that this new set is worth getting for is Buzzsaw.
@@spider-man3167 You too? My birthday's September, too. I really want to watch TF: One in theaters, so badly. And, Lego's "Rebuild the Galaxy" looks so fun.
They couldn’t give Quake the Battle Masters from Siege at the Deluxe price point. You will remember the Battle Masters having to be sold separately to the Deluxes. The Targetmasters Quake has may be simple but they are G1 accurate and are basically just regular guns with a robot sculptured underneath.
I think a soundwave reissue is what we've been wanting. It was a popular figure, it transformes to the iconic boom box, and has buzzsaw! Already pre-ordered and couldn't be happier that i won't be at the mercy of overpriced ebay scalpers!
well if you new why quakes target masters look like that u might appreceate the design more they were trying to mold them like the original toys and for those wondering the turret does rotate
Even if I’m still waiting for SS86 Optimus, that deluxe G1 Optimus Prime looks amazing!! Armada Galvatron and Animated Motormaster also look so great!!
G1 Deluxe Optimus is easily an alternate universe G1 Optimus, so hes very justifiable to have along with other G1 Optimuses, such as KGDM, VNR, hopefully-soon-to-be-revealed SS86, etc.
Geocron’s head is based on a rocky alien from the Japanese Headmasters cartoon. You may not recognise it, but it does have a source. The body is the same color as the cartoon character although it didn’t look like Bouldercrash.
His main complaint was it seemed incredibly smooth, which none of the rock monsters from 'my friend sixshot' were. Most of them had some sort of protruding horn or angular heads, not something that resembles a bowling ball like geocron
@@PrimeVsPrime one of the reasons I really like soundwave is that he has 3 cassettes I’ve never had a soundwave before that’s why he’s one of my favorites
I will probably get the soundwave from this wave but thats about it. Hopefully next year we get some more idw stuff, i would love to see a titan class thunderwing or a commander class six shot.
Nah. She deserved better, but definitely not Metalhawk. Preferably, she'd still be a Windblade retool, but with new head, new chest, new wings, retooled forearms (to have 5mm ports on the sides, instead of winglets). But, as is, I don't think shes bad at all. Shes at least a cool version of the character, same with Chromia. Easy pick up
The rumble has been a very difficult find since core class studio series tend to sell out of pegs very quickly, so it’s mighty appreciated for those who missed out to be able to buy it with Soundwave. I don’t know who Buzzsaw is, but I also genuinely couldn’t tell that was a gold tape until someone pointed it out, so I think I’ll be just fine considering it Laserbeak and calling my tape collection complete with this Soundwave. I’m really hoping to see reissues of Earthrise seekers to get the lineup of comics characters from the current Skybound run.
This wave so far is great! G1 Optimus is BEAUTIFUL! Oh Primus!! I want him so badly!! Beautiful truck and botmode! Love that he has his Energon Axe and _two_ Ion Blasters! Thats cool! (I can give one to KGDM OP, if I want to) [Deluxe] G1 OP is pretty much an alternate universe G1 OP, so thats really cool and really justifiable to have along with other G1 OPs (e.g. KGDM, VNR, hopefully-soon-to-be-revealed SS86) Slipstream is not 100% ideal, _especially_ accuracy-wise, but at least shes a cool version of the character! Shes in the same boat as Chromia! Easy pickup (Chromia and Slipstream)! I'll definitely headcanon her as being from an entirely different universe from Cyberverse. And, her Null Rays can't mount on the sides of her forearms, but can at least mount on the backs of her forearms or shoulders. Its at least something. Quake is INSANE! Hes almost unrecognizable as using Skullgrin as a base! Hes perfect! Definitely getting him! Great tank and botmode! Geocron's colors are so cool! Their face is a bit weird, tbh. But, its not really a complaint. Not sure if I'll pick them up. Metalhawk is actually pretty cool! I like the gold-ier yellow and the actual grey instead of off white-grey like the original. Not sure if I'll pick him up, but Idk maybe....?? Motormaster is quite cool! Like him! Don't really want him too much, but I've got nothing against him. Soundwave looks quite cool! Love that Rumble, Ravage, and Buzzsaw are included! But, I really don't know if I'll get him; I really don't know. I would love a new Voyager-scale, G1 Soundwave, that scales nicely with Blaster, has good bot and altmodes, and includes at least Laserbeak!
Great video prime! Pretty accurate I'd say. I'm definitely picking up G1 Prime and because i missed out on the Netflix version, like an idiot I'll hunt down Soundwave.
I haven’t collected Transformers in many years, but that Armada Galvatron gives me pause. If we get Armada Optimus Prime in Final Battle colors I’ll definitely look at picking up both to relive the nostalgia of that excellent final fight.
Nobody ever said it was goin to be a new mold. You either imagined that and assumed it was going to happen, or others did the same and lied to you. All of the actual leaks confirmed it was a reissue.
I am definately going to be picking up Soundwave and that G1 Prime, if I can find them. I can already tell that Prime is going to be a pretty hard one to catch.
Personally for leader Soundwave I think it's a good call to rerelease and bundle because though of us who weren't able to collect at that time are able to get a great figure with accessories
I missed out on WFC Soundwave, so I'm looking forward to this release. I even like the Frenzy with a more vibrant color scheme. My only Soundwaves are core class and Hot Soldiers' legend scale & I think this would be a good upgrade in size.
The G1 universe Optimus is absolutely the highlight, and I'll definitely get him (barring any distribution shenanigans). I'm also glad to finally get a chance to get the Netflix Soundwave, though part of me is slightly disappointed he IS just a reissue of that mold, given what they were able to do with that new G1 universe Optimus.
Only reason why I preordered Soundwave was to get Buzzsaw and the redeco of Rumble, I, knock on wood, am one of the lucky few who’s Soundwave didn’t yellow.
They should have packed all 5 cassettes with Soundwave. I've had Studio Series Frenzy preordered at Big Bad Toy Store since forever now. Him and Beachcomber seem to be part of that wave that had very limited distribution.
That g1 Optimus Prime is a definite must have for my transformers collection as well as the g1 Soundwave. The rest of the stuff nah just those 2 for me
Boy, am I glad I held out on the missing link Optimus Prime. Sure he looked amazing but...this new legacy G1 Optimus...that dude is most definitely a must have and will have no problem getting him.
Ok so I’m a fairly new fan and i for one am very happy to see a new prime release because i have literally been unable to find an Optimus figure in any shops near me, granted i live in a very small town but still cmon guys, also super happy about soundwave I love that guy and also really want a figure for him so yayyyy
I think re-releasing Soundwave was probably for those who missed the netflix one. What I want to see is reissue of the Netflix Bumblebee. I didn't get this one. Release him and Cliffjumper together in a 2-pack and I think that will give people a reason to double dip. Or release Cybertronian-form bumblebee, Netflix Bumblebee and Studio Series 86 bumblebee in a 3-pack and call it the "G1 BB gift pack". He is as iconic as Prime since he was there since the beginning of the war. Re-releases of old figures works if the packaging is good, (collectors have an excuse to re-buy duplicates) and the paint apps are better. It's a way of allowing existing owners to sell their existing figures second hand and letting others fill up the colections of figures they may have missed due to poor distribution in their country. I think Kingdom Optimus Prime should be re-issued again with trailer and...Roller! Perhaps they could upsize him to commander class and add more details than the Kingdom figure? This would be the Studio 1986 version so no shield gimmick. Just place enough space in the trailer so a Roller can fit inside it this time and give him energy axe in place of the shield gimmick of the Kingdom Optimus Prime.
1:16 it doing double duty: people like me who love the core classes of the bigger dudes will want a core galvatron especially if he can be a target master like shockwave and also to test how much people would like galvatron and energon megatron to be mold buddies or if it would need more tooling or a new mold
Literally one new figure. ONE. They should've spaced out these retools repaints and repackages through the other waves instead of shoving them ALL in the last wave. The last wave should always go out with a bang, but United seriously went out with a fizzle.
Sound waves box art uses the core class tape deck design rather than the “leader”. You can tell cause the toes are sticking up instead of being folded in
I need that Optimus prime and soundwave. I got siege soundwave and made a fan mode cassette, meaning I took off the arms and just folded the legs up. :D
Grew up with armada but never cared for G1 figs because of how dated they were, happy to say this optimus is DEF gonna be my first G1 esque transformer! Super excited!
So we have Calcitron/Icestone, Geocron/Mudstone, Shard/Glintstone, Bouldercrash/Brimstone, Nucleous/Moonstone, and the pit boss Magneous/Tombstone to round out the Infernacons. Then Sandbuster/Sandstone will somehow be a name along with more others in the mix.
I was hoping they could have at least given soundwave the soundblaster cassete deck so it can hold 2, and maybe articulated hands with his index finger seperated like the SS concept art megatron so it can still push the button
