Reveals Bonanza 

We shall see the curse take effect soon..

After giving hasbro and paramount tons of crap on ROTB, I can finally give them some credit. They’ve given us Aussies an advanced screening on June 9th so we can watch it at the same time as everyone else instead of waiting 2 weeks (the films release date in Australia is June 22nd)

I imagine the robosen grimlock asking for food like, “Me Grimlock want decepticon as snack”

Hype man Grimlock is something we all need in our lives.

The colors for Rhinox have changed from the photo renders to the final product. They announced that on the stream they went and changed them sometime after they did the photos. So he's got a lot more silver on him as opposed to that brown. I'm surprised you talked about the teases for Strongarm and Bludgeon but didn't at least mention Bombshell, Detritus, Shadowstriker, Dreadwing, Core Snarl, and Trashmaster. Rumors suggest that Shadowstriker is gonna be a pre-tool of RiD Sideburn. Meaning her design is gonna be a combination of her Cyberverse and Universe designs. I don't really like that. It's cool that by doing it this way we can get Sideburn, Roulette, and OG Shadowstriker, but I want a pure Cyberverse Shadowstriker with all the mismatched limbs.

I've realised something about gun hands at the beginning of the war yeah gun hands did not exist but by the end where bots like getaway where being born and thrust straight into war it'd make sense they would adopt gun hands and besides stasis cuffs are a thing to prevent the gun hands P.s my personal head canon is that as energon was running out they had to use there own which is why they are weaker than regular guns look at primes prime he had swords but when he got the star saber he switched to that

I actually think the Rhinox colors look pretty cool. It looks like hes in a suit of armor and his head looks like one of those roman helmets with a face on them. The proportions are pretty egregious though.

I like the little detail on the box of the “rise of tyranny” set that says “freedom is the right of all civilized beings” it’s a small detail but sums up pre war cybertron perfectly

i really love the look of the brawn figure, itd be a good way to get a figure that actually looks like the character and the alt mode is genuinely cool looking

I've been having interesting ideas about Nemesis Prime that gives him a character and an origin. Nemesis was never called Nemesis Prime in the past, but Delosus Major He's an arrogant, self aggrandizing autobot commander Due to Optimus's popularity amongst the Autobot army, he grew jealous and hated the rising Autobot leader. He was banished after a staged Decepticon attack that would make him look good. He'd swore revenge against the Autobot leader, changing his looks and renaming himself entirely, Nemesis Prime, the nemesis of Prime.

When he said tighter shirt for clif I automatically thought of the scene from ROTF when a guy said there is no tighter shirt we checked

The colors on the in hand Rhinox are not only different but better.

“Cotton Hill…” Dude, great reference!

You doing the beaker voice for war for cybertron megatron is like whenever people on Twitter complain about a good figure that's coming out All i see is literally them going "MI MI MI MI MI"

From reviews I’ve seen the WFC Bumblebee is pretty solid, really the biggest issue is his torso looking dumpy. Definitely going to try and get him and maybe Cliffjumper as well as megatron

The Severed nerd leg that comes with Grimlock! You made my day! LOL!

The Brawn is SS86, I made a joke on TFW2005 about it being a bad figure because there is no blast effect peg on his left shoulder (especially since I guess Prowl will have a "dying" variant with the smoke coming out of his mouth and all. I also pre-ordered the Ratbat and Megatron, you might want to jump on it as the prices on the sets are swapped around las I checked.

“Legacy Rufus.”

Finally, someone else who doesn't like Strongarm's personally

I think SS Optimus might has Hot Rod shoulders.

I can't wait for the Brawn so I can have an Earth mode version for my Bumblebee movie Brawn.

I saw the notification and my first thought was "great, we'll see some new leaks later today"

I was going to comment on the rhinox colors but chances are probably like 20 other people have already commented on it lol, also love your channels you just seem to have a demeanor that no other Transformers RU-vidr has and I love it 😁

i want that Earthspark grimlock and Gamer cliffjumper

Waspinator TeRrOrIzE, not gonna lie, the gamer edition Megatron looks very accurate to the game. And if you know me by now, I love toys that look accurate.

7:30 To me, I haven’t dove deep into IDW beyond MTMTE and Lost Light, but I think it’s because Shockwave and Orion Pax are kind of stretching their molds. Shockwave had a busy design in detail and silhouette, and that contrasts with the detailed bit only being the chest piece and head imo. Pax I think only has minor differences from the comic look

Nemisis prime needs fiction and his teal mouthplate

Thoughts on the studio series: Core DOTM Bee: Welcome, retool of a figure so bad it gives Kingdom Core Hot Rod a run for his money. Deluxe WFC Cliffjumper: expected the second WFC Bumblebee was announced. Deluxe 86 Rufus: congrats on getting a deluxe-scaled G1 Rufus. Voyager Takara Nemesis Prime: why isn't he a Buzzworthy Bumblebee exclusive? Voyager ROTB Optimus Prime: I love this figure from what we've seen. Voyager WFC Megatron: He looks alright. Voyager ROTB Rhinox: not as good as Cheetor, but appears fun.

3:02 - 3:05 and with all three of these figures combined, you have failed to not get mad because these exist

I think I enjoy this kind of video the most

For the moment I just want to focus on ROTB Optimus and Rhinox. Man do I love the look of Optimus’ figure here. When I first saw the reveal for the SS 38 I fell in love with that thing, and when I saw the leaked images for this guy it managed to recapture that love. The only negatives I can see about this figure are the lack of silver paint on the light grey parts, the truck bed not being as near perfect as the SS 38 figures’, and the Hot Rod shoulders. However I still think the figure looks good as it is for the moment, we’ve seen worse truck beds on figures, and the only time Hot Rod shoulders ever really bothered me were with the BB Soundwave figure; mainly because he was so chunky and his arms were too close to his torso. Though what I have a gripe about is the product photography not finishing the transformation for the alt mode. They didn’t fold out the fuel tanks on the legs, and they didn’t fold down the hinged shoulder flaps that are supposed fold down and cover the rest of the arm kibble in truck mode. Also, yeah that hand gun is dinky. It’s not even accurate to the shape, size, and color of Prime’s hand gun in the film; but both SS 38 and the mainline figure have the ion blaster so you can try and use one of those on the SS 102. So other than questioning why this guy is releasing in Buzzworthy Bumblebee first, I’m definitely gonna try and get him day one. And if he gets a premium figure that makes him look even better, I’ll get that one too. As for Rhinox, the actual figure will have way less brown on it. It will mostly be grey and silver with a few faded brown paint applications. But yeah, aesthetically it is a boring color scheme. Though the actual shaping of the robot mode looks pretty decent. He probably has the most accurate head shaping when compared to his original BW design and the rhino mode looks fun. Obviously I don’t think they were ever going to have a giant, fanged Rhino jaw on his torso in live action, though maybe they could have molded some spiked parks on his chest that could have mimicked that old design aspect. Other than that I think he’s so far my favorite of the SS Maximal figures. But it would be awesome if Takara comes in and give the SS Maximal figures a cartoon accurate premium finish paint job like they’re doing for the Kingdom figures. Season 1 colors on this Rhinox and the inevitable Optimus Primal would just look fantastic on those figures. Though it would make Airazor closer to just being the Kingdom figure other than sharing the same exact transformation. And for Cheetor I’d hope that, instead of giving him season 1 colors, Takara leans in on how SS Cheetor looks closer to Transmetal 2 Cheetor and gives him colors that more so match the TM2 color scheme.

Surprised no mention was made of Bombshell or Dreadwing. And my crack pipe dream for Bludgeon is that his head isn't the classic skull head, but the "Half-head" design with the busted up mouth with all the wires hanging down from the original IDW run

i just realized that they made strongarm a realistic cop, just less violent because its a kids show.

8:03 Okay I feel I got jipped. My dad got this thing but it didn't come with the fire affect piece. This is probably the first time I ever got a "toy" that was missing an accessory in the box.

That O.G Waspinator was my first unofficial first tf, my older cousin saw me enjoy it from bug-to-bot, and gave it to me, intact. No surprise beastwars was my intro into the franchise😅

Now to keep an eye out for new reveals in the next few days

The red optimus primal is gonna have clear plastic syndrome

I think the changes in Tarn to make Bludgeon will be just the head, chest and weapons.

Sorry about the lack of comment on the last video. I was at work and kinda forgot about it. It was a good vid, though. I watched it a few times on Wednesday. Anyways, reveals: - Burning Optimus Primal: Not feelin it, but my brother really likes the Burning design, so that’s cool. I definitely gotta tell him about the new one. - Earthspark Grimlock: Yeah, his design is pretty cool. Too bad he was only in ten minutes of the show so far. They also leaked Nightshade, and they’re my favorite Terran design, but they also look like a Kingdom/ROTB Airazor retool, so that sucks for people who wanted a new mold for them. I may be wrong though. - IDW collection: I definitely need these. The Orion Pax looks kinda weird, but I need more prequel guys to go with my Wardawn and Buzzworthy guys, and these look like they’ll fit the bill nicely. - And Rufus. I don’t care about Robosen, Gamer Edition, or ROTB, so I’m just gonna say I’m getting all of the Spacebridge reveals(except Core Snarl).

Since they are doing the og season 1 cast, Premium Dinobot and Terrorsaur are a must, since they’re the ones who benefit the most from a bit more paint. I wonder if they’ll eventually do the extra season 1 characters like Tigatron, Blackarachnia, Airazor and Inferno.

oh my god i didnt think about having a little grimlock following me around, that sounds incredible.

Now, let's see if the curse sets in

It hurts me how much hate Retrax gets. It may only be because I enjoyed finding roly poly bugs behind my house, but I loved that figure as a kid.

Grimlock comes with *inhale THE LEG

I love the Cotton Hill joke. 😂

There are plenty of evil batmans' such as the batman who laughs, dinosaur batman and monster truck batman. I wish I was kidding about these evil batman versions...

2:34 me: "looks up a pic of manterror and transquito" goodbye my sweet prince

Don't worry. They changed the rhinox colors at the last second... to make it completely gray.

The night before Orion and Shockwave were revealed me and my brother were theorizing what they could be. I thought they would be a retool of Jhiaxus and Siege Ironhide, my brother thought the Siege Seeker and Siege Hound. Guess who won. I think both molds would work better as the other. At least Ironhide would scale better and I just want the Jhiaxus mold without getting that figure.

gun hands are sick. Megaman and Samus rock them so well.

Im patiently waiting on a shockwave NO NOT THE SENATOR

I Hope the grimlock is exactly as you said if I had a little robo-Dino hype man I will buy it no matter the price

That Orion set looks neat

Something that I think is teasing a figure for the future is in the senator shockwave and pax two pack you can see nova prime in the background

Alright lets take a shot everytime a new figure is released after this video

Did not expect you to name drop Gundam but thanks!

I eagerly await the proper reveal of Trashmaster.

I can't wait to get my hands on that Brawn and ROTB Optimus, and both because their robot modes are fuckin killing it. I really hope the kibble on the back of Optimus' truck mode isn't as bad as I think, because if so we have a contender for the best movie Optimus figure ever in my humble opinion.

Both SS Brawn and WFC Megatron are the ones I'm the most hyped for. Strange as I'm not the biggest fan of the high moon designs. You've sold me on the robosen Grimlock. Damn, what a cool idea, the ultimate hype man. They better get Greg Berger to voice him

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Nova Prime tease, we’ve been waiting over 10 years for that character to get a proper toy, I am so ready for this imperialist maniac to be on my shelf.

Rocket Racoon lolz at that Earthspark build a figure leg.

The Robosen Grimlock looks kinda like the Gigapower version.

I’ve managed to find Cliffjumper and Brawn before Gamer Prime

Gotta say, reveals are something to look forward to.

I don't know of anyone has mentioned it yet, but the SS RotB Optimus Prime is transformed wrong in truck mode in the stock photos. If you look at the one they physically revealed on stream, there are additional panels that fold down to clean up the truck mode, and it looks significantly better

At least Hasbro had the decency to pair the worst Maximal & Scorponok figures from Kingdom/Legacy together, instead of having em half ass two 2-packs by pairing em with better figures.

You’re actually not too far off the with the “disembodied nerd leg” for grimlock’s build a figure part lol

Here’s hoping this video results in a new reveal of something cool, I’m hoping for 86 Swoop

5:33 I can’t unsee this now

I’m surprised you didn’t notice Prime has the Hot Rod shoulders. And I’m glad that I’m not the only who doesn’t think the Ss Prime is much of an upgrade. I still don’t understand what all the hype is about. I have Rhinox in hand and I have two things to say. 1. Besides for his biceps, there’s no brown plastic just some rust like paint. 2. The thing is FANTASTIC!! I can see why people say he’s the best of the Ss Maximals. I like the mainline but Jesus the Ss is a serious upgrade. Now all I need is the Ss Primal and I’ll have a complete Ss Maximal team and I’ll also have a completed mainline Maximal team!

That burning Convoy figure is going to be a hard one to get. I literally just did a retro review of the Beast Wars Anime OVA that is from this morning on my channel lol. Gotta get that algorithm synergy

My Autobot version of the DJD's main feature isn't violence, more like so extremely loyal and self-righteous they do violent things. Except for Impactor. That's why I want RID 2015 Strongarm. She's the heavy weapons personnel, Prowl is a ninja, and Impactor is a mix of a hoplite and a berserker. When Cliffjumper fails hard, who replaces him? Grimlock's personality just fits a robot pet better than Optimus. Optimus is just too serious, and telling him to do simple things for us doesn't feel right. These robots walk around, bump into things, and they have to be ordered around. Yeah, it should've been Grimlock from the beginning, he's the perfect choice. 86 Brawn, ugly as ever. But this is an amazing Brawn. I'll totally buy this. Hope Legacy Powerglide is good. I actually love ROTB Rhinox. He's just an awesome version of Tin Man with a cool rhino mode. And the beast mode is ABSOLUTELY RAD on the SS version. I just can't wait for WFC game Warpath. If something as astronomically awful as Barricade can get in, why not Warpath? He's easily the coolest design in the WFC game. Do you think WFC game Barricade fits as Skullgrin's goons? Is 23 bucks a good price for Legacy Override?

I think some of the disappointment for the Orion Shockwave boxset could come down to the fact that Orion is a Hound retool. The Hound body type is quite boxy while Orion in the comics and with his last set of toys was portrayed as thin and sleek. Especially if you look at his Thrilling 30 figure.

5:01 Likes the Hotrod shoulders have striked once again this time on the Autobot leader who dosen't have these kinds of shoulders before

Dude talked about gundams the moment i began caring about the, again, nice coincidence

5:23 Some mobile suits and even Gundams do have arm weapons built in, but it’s either in the hand (see: Destiny Gundam, standard Gouf, Doven Wolf, etc), looking like it’s arm mounted (Hi-Nu Gundam, Gouf Custom, Gundam Alex, etc), or storing beam sabers (Sazabi, Nu Gundam, Hi-Nu Gundam, Gundam Pharact, Sinanju, Unicorn Gundam, etc)

If it weren't for what I assume to be durability concerns, I reckon - - the inner sides of the shins could've folded down on a protruding hinge to sit between the thighs, with muktipke small pegs to hold the legs together. - the robot missile pods could've folded on a hinge to sit inline with the wheels, and folding inwards to rest on the underside of the knees in truck mode. - the foot could've been five parts, with the ankle being a mushroom peg, with room to slide it forward, shortening the truck bed length, and the outside of the foot could've folded forwards at a hinge at toes with pegs to attach to the folded leg panels, revealing a trailer port and flattening the bed a tad A peg would also fold out of one of the foot soles to work in conjectuon with the inner leg panel legs to hold everything together. The shoulders forgo the protruding missile pods from Bumblebee in Rise of The Beasts, being much more subtle. They could've removed them (they're grey, like the conteol art) and had a panel on the back side fold on a hinge to replace them. That would allow for a normal shoulder joint, working in conjunction with the inner joint to give the arms incredible range. If a proper shoulder still wasn't possible, the front shoulder panel should have been connected to the rear of the wheel well, folding onto the top of the shoulder at a hinge.

Love the video Quick question do you plan on doing an earthspark review when the first season concludes?

I actually like the look of the Rhinox. He should have shorter legs to make him look more squat as a character. I do hate the brown on him though and will try to repaint him.

I like how there’s a ko of the nemesis prime that came out way before this was announced And I can just imagine that the ss rhinox just got it’s legs blown off, fallout style.

This is the first time I've seen the alt modes for senter shockwave and orion

I am so happy to see that brawn looks like a proper upgrade from my old titans return figure. I feel like beachcomber is just meh. And doesn’t justify $40 Australian when I got the PotP one for maybe 10, and I love it.

Now we need Windcharger and Outback!

I suprised you only talked about Strongarm and bludgeon, but then again, i just guessing that the opinion on the other characters is "no opinion yet, i'll wait till i see it"

I loved the old War/Fall of cybertron games so im definitely gonna get the "Gamer Edition" Megatron to go with my Optimus. Gamer edition sounds so stupid, I physically cannot say it with a straight face.

They also mentioned Legacy Bombshell as a next wave but unfortunately no pictures yet

Am I the only one who gets reminded of some ROTB Cheetor toy when they see the SS Rhinox alt mode? I tried looking for the specific one and couldn’t find it, but I swear one of them had the exact same rear end, tail and all. Considering they’re both voyagers it would be kind of hilarious for those two of all characters to be sharing engineering.

I don't know if you already covered it, but what do you think of that Earthspark Nightshade figure that got revealed? Or Shadowstriker getting a figure? I'm personally more excited for her than Strongarm

My favorite reveals from this batch are the Gamer Edition Cliffjumper and the Senator Ratbat & Miner Megatron 2-Pack. I just think they look really cool, especially Ratbat. I don’t know much about the character (never been big into reading the comics but I really wanna start getting into them) but the design looks amazing. And I really like the look of the Gamer Edition Bee/Cliff mold, especially the alt mode. I just think they’re very cute figures, definitely wanna get my hands on them Oh and they announced the inevitable Dreadwing repaint (which was expected after Skyquake), which I’m very excited for

Considering that Tarn has an unpainted skull on his chest plate, I would not take that bet.

Finally Rufus comeback! Now I waiting for Gears.

i think hasbro spends more time on the photos than on the figures

I'm surprised you didn't mention anything about the SS ROTB Prime being cursed with Hot Rod Shoulders from immediate look, since I remember that on display, a good chunk of people noticed he has Hot Rod Shoulders

I think what happened with the wednesday video Is that people thought it was a Yugi oh video.

Hope Grimlock can pick up items like a puppy and bring them to you 😮!

SS RoTB Optimus looks so good, I want it. Too bad it’s a GOD DAMN TARGET EXCLUSIVE. I hope this gets an RoTF SS Bumblebee treatment where it gets rereleased in the mainline.

Man I really want that Studio Series ROTB Optimus, but Hasbro really had to shoot me in the balls my making it a Buzzworthy Target exclusive.

Am i the only one thinking that they gave the amazon 2 packs switched prices? Like, the ratbat and megatron with 2 voyagers costs about $55, and the orion and shockwave with a deluxe and voyager costs $66. And this isnt even the weird price gouging that amazon trnds to do, these were the prices the day listing started.

i gotta correct ya on the rhinox bit, they said that the colors on him where chosen really early on before they received the finished colors

Rhinoxs stock photogrophy is wrong, they said during the stream that his colors were changed last minute, and that the stock photogrophy was now innacurate During the stream, the rhinox they showed off had stone grey instead of brown, and it was a final production model I also had my shattered glass grimlock arrive, and damn... hes looking better than the standard g1 grimlock...
