Legacy Leader SKYQUAKE: EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff 

If they release Dreadwing it better be a remake of the "You're my twin" song.

They are SO going to recolor this into Dreadwing.

I hope we get all the potential repaints of this figure released: G1 Skywquake, Prime Dreadwing, Machine Wars Starscream, and Universe King Atlas!

just got mine. Apparently the back section IS supposed to sits a bit more flush, but there's a small clearance issue with the gray "arm" that connects the canopy to the torso. It's an easy fix, though, and it requires just a few minutes. I found the tutorial online

Me too. It feels like they stop the engineering on the cockpit part as long as it's connected. It feels it can fold better the cockpit I mean and flush at the back even more.

There was a G1 Skyquake, which was a Europe/Japan release. The design of this Legacy Skyquake jet is very reminiscent of the original design incl. the vent shafts on the upper fuselage, thruster design as well as second canopy at the back.

Got this guy for my bday a few weeks ago, DEFINITELY money well spent! It’s a FANTASTIC figure I now hope we get a Dreadwing repaint to complete the duo

Just realized... Needlenose color scheme seems a bit similar to TFP Dreadwing... Almost thought the skit was either Skyquake hunting him down for daring to copy his brother or wondering what happened to him while he was in lockdown.

That poseability is actually really impressive. If Hasbro's starting to experiment with more posable figures, things could get exciting!

I'm really happy that they have been doing remakes of the primeverse characters because transformers prime was a big part of my childhood and seeing these figures reimagined makes me feel like a kid again

I literally have had him in alt mode since I bought him a year ago because I've heard so much slack about his difficulty. I just transformed him this morning without issue, and had fun doing so. Goes to show, you just never really know until in hand. 💯

Always a good day when ya upload keep up the good work Emgo!

I'm cautiously optimistic for Dreadwing.

Oh my gosh. Transformers Prime figures are precious now? I am old.

A really cool design. I love the stealth bomber wings on the back of the robot.

Nice figure 🎉🎉love the sculpt and the alt mode

"Hey, man, you're bleeding...!" Skyquake - "I ain't got time to bleed."

Hey emgo!, i got my skyquake and checked de backpack situation, i'm convinced that you did nothing wrong and the instructions are right, the problem with the backpack seems to be a molding error in the gray plastic hinge that goes in contact with the front landing gear, the "middle rail" that has to accomodate the landing gear is too short and prevents it from fully colapsing. The fix is to remove a little plastic to make the "rail space" larger, after that everything fits perfectly regarding the backpack

I just got mine in Wednesday. He is simply STUNNING! I missed out on getting his Voyager release from the Prime R.I.D. line, so I'm extremely happy to finally get him in some way!

Anubis was the GOAT of the Dark Warlords from Ronin Warriors. So glad you referenced it.

I can't wait for Dreadwing since I missed out on the original.

*Please* tell me they're going to do a version of this in Predator Skyquake colours. He already has so much of the look, far more than his actual Prime self. He really just needs the weird head and the dayglo color scheme.

"I am Heavy Weapons Guy. And this is my weapon." 14:45

It's so strange that his elbow parts are different from each other when they seem to function the exact same way.

damn quake!!, you didn't have to roast megs like that XD

Im actually impressed with this one. They could have just used the Cyclonus mold and call it a day.

Honestly I would strongly consider getting this if it was released as machine wars starscream because obscure stuff is my jam.

Can you imagine SKYQUAKE getting into a fight and when he goes to do a big boot that he activates his thrusters to burn their face?

Just pre-ordered mines. Glad to see you reviewing it before buying it myself.

He does look liek a great design, but the olive green just doesn't grab me. Fortunately a blue repaint is almost certain, though the one I'd love to see is Machine Wars Starscream black and silver.

finally they caved in and worked on closing in gaps...

Considering adding this one to my list for this year. Only ever got the repainted Prime Skyquake, and can't say I was all too impressed with how undersized, and fickle the mold was. Again felt like too much engineering for the little amount of plastic used. Also the mechtech weapons that plagued the Prime Voyagers were awful to say the least. Legacy definitely is an improvement, and I like how this one sizes a bit taller than some of the earlier Leaders which felt barely taller than most Voyagers. Only wish the the shoulders could properly be fixed into place though it still allows for some excellent articulation with the weapons.

"I got tired of that zombie life" Skyquake 03/9/23

I love it and want All the Repaints!

I have a pretty bad stomach bug today so I’m just binging your videos

i love how perfect this figure is!

i freaking love this figure :') whenever i find him in stores im deffinantly picking it up, anyways how are you?

it is good emgo mades this videos because i cant make out the instuctions half the time

He really needs a companion bot that's an A-10 Warthog that convert into his minigun. Also Skyquake no go BLOOSH, Skyquake go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTT!!

I actually never had the opportunity to acquire the original one they made which now I want this one

It brings a smile to my face every time EmGo says “Evolution!”. Transformers! Kamen Rider! Best Match! Are you ready?

This figure needs a repaint into machine wars Starscream

That skit made me laugh harder than I was expecting...

6:20 could be a cool alternate mode on its own

Don't worry emgo zombies tend to have paint blemishes lol

Awesome review. I can't wait to pick up my copy. Now if they only make Sky Shadow in the legacy form that would be so sweet. If this would have been wrestling they would have been my tag team partners. My version of brothers of destruction lol.

Gen selects Undead Skyquake when?

This dude and Needlenose are most definitely getting a repaint each as G1 Skyquake and one of the Predators.

Kind of wish the wings were more flush against the back, it just seems like an awkward gap even if it does help with range of motion. But a nice figure regardless.

This is fantastic figure. One of the best Leader so far IMHO.

This is one the figures I really want

it looks really nice tbh and for a “Morden” transformer he’s really good 🫡🫡

Looking forward to grabbing one of these. I love what HasTak is doing with PRIME characters. This guy will be pairing up with Lugnut as two of Megatron's Warrior's Elite.

SKYQUAKE LOOKS Very good.

Skyquake comes inside the closed box package. He includes a sword and a chaingun. You’ve can repaint Skyquake’s body and his chaingun with paint pens.

G2 Dreadwing and Smokescreen out of this perhaps. And then a Beast Wars II BB and Starscream?

Ordered quite a few transformers including this guy prime prowl and ss scourge and cheetor

This is clearly designed in the style of the unicron trilogy, the jet mode especially is so unicron esque era

i hope we get a Machine Wars Starscream/Megatron Whith that Mold

Omg I was waiting for this figure review

Definitely gonna be a pick up

14:52 Skyquake almost has TOO MUCH BLOOOOOSH!! lol. This figure looks really good, but idk if I want him or wait for the eventual Dreadwing, maybe both?? Again, Idk, hes still REALLY Cool tho!!

1 year later… still no upgrade kit

great review emgo

I see a Starscream & BB custom

Does anyone else think this mould would be great with a color repaint similar to the Turbokat from the series S.W.A.T. Kats? Maybe some slight alterations to the wings and shoulder pauldrons as well.

the nose cone does seem like it wants to tuck into the body more, doesn't it? and the nose, cockpit bar, canopy, landing gear, all these armatures seem more complicated than they need to be for what it's doing - which is to just lock the nose cone into the waist. i've also tried spinning the whole nose 180 on the gray bar as another user suggested and everything ~almost~ works: the shoulder pads sit much closer the shoulders and the back tucks in more, but nothing locks into waist so it's unstable. doing it your way looks correct and that seems to be proven by this: the 2 matte green swing bars on the side that bring the wings from the front to the back, on the inner sides there are long, thin tabs that have corresponding grooves on the body of the nose. but they also don't exactly meet unless you raise the body on the slider a bit. perhaps there's another configuration or step that has the back sit closer to the body.

You had the sword backwards in the machine gun. The hilt of the sword is supposed to be facing the barrels of the gun. I don't have this figure, but that's what I think is wrong.

Do the latest QR codes not work for anyone else? I just see an image of RID sideswipe going “uH oH! wE gOt MeGa LoSt.”

Skyqauke:Again??bow to this

I feel the bloody here should have a shutter effect like a bloo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oosh

Machine Wars Starscream outta this guy?

Imma be real em, with more kickass junkions coming out in legacy my investment is basically in junkyard robots, rock on hasbro!

Thank you for this video.

wouldn't it be a Bloo-bloo-bloo-bloo-bloo-bloo-bloo-bloosh?

Well if Emgo has him, I should see my Amazon purchase show up in 2 to 3 weeks.

Beautifull

Great review. I just don't understand WHY the Animated and Prime Legacy figures are getting GeeWunnified. It's really mind boggling. I wish they were true to form.

Was that opening a reference to Anubis from the Ronin Warriors? 🤔

I heard it's possible to make this figure into a more show inspired bot mode.

I wonder how robotkingdom gets these guys early

weirdly the QR code get to a dead page

This figure looks stunning!

And dreadwing

Can he also hold his bombs from the SXS upgrade kit for from OG prime figure and can they plug in to his wings?

Hey Emgo, just got mine and figured out your nosecone issue, the entire nose of the plane, cockpit and all, twists 180 on the silver arm, near where it attaches to the nose assembly. EDIT: okay that actually doesn't help, maybe thats for an alt transformation using the shoulder pads as waist skirt... weir though

Love ur reviews bro but there is a swivel joint in the nose cone area that no one is talking about. Why is it there!?!?! It's not part of the transformation. Help us fam lol

his shoulders look like they might hurt

Why does it look like Machine Wars Starscream?

He's my favorite

I’m might expected Starscream here…, this figure was quite appealing.

Skyquake design is very very 👍good, if only black mamba release ko oversize masterpiece version

Nah! DNA designers are too busy cloning dinosaurs for Jurassic Park.

16:12 meet the heavy

Are you going to get the Legacy Dreadwing?

cool

No "Robot Under A Jet" Syndrome? I may have to pick him up.

Was the sword in the same bag as the gun for you? I can't find mine.

used to own this guy in g one but not sure if he came with his weapons and missiles

Is the upgrade Gatling gun for prime skyquake BLOOSH compatible In the screw hole?
