Shell-shock was a term used to describe people coming back from conflicts and wars with ptsd, so.... yeah, naming him shell-shock was kind of out of the question
I personally want a Bionicle Transformer collaborative or a Buzz Light-year and/or Zurg Transformers Collaborative, but I doubt either of those will ever happen.
The Buzz light year one did happen. Transformers had a collab with Disney where they released 3 transformers. Mickey mouse, Donald Duck and Buzz Light year. They are very obsecure
I mean, what would a bionicle transformer be? Toa Nuva Takua that somehow transforms into the Ussanui? I guess that'd be the most iconic and story-wise significant figure + vehicle pair?
Seeing this gives me hope that maybe Hasbro/TakaraTomy will do other 80s properties as crossovers. Imagine this with, like, Galaxy Rangers, or Gummi Bears, or MANTA Force, or Action Force. Actually, I'd like to see MANTA Force the most. There's something about the idea of Transformers becoming vehicles that hold little dudes that really appeals to me. That, or a transforming Roboskull from Action Force!
Trypticon makes sense for Godzilla, Mecha Godzilla and potentially Space Godzilla. Tarantulas can be Kumongas and Optimal Optimus Primal has a good size for being Kong, Rodan can be Swoop, King Ghidorah can be Dragonstorm (just not TLK mould). Not sure about Mothra and Anguiras
One of the coolest parts is how the initials change on the belt. Onenof my favorite purchases this year and probably even last....except for armada prime.
Almost wish there was a yellow bandana to turn him into Metalhead [or Jennika if you have claw weapons available]. As always, really anxious to see what Toyhax can bring to the table.
Been holding off on watching this because I had just recently got the figure on Saturday, and I didn't wanna watch a review of the figure that I had just bought a couple days before and had get here then, and I was so glad gearing your opening words of the figure being that you had hope it was going to be pretty good and that it turned out that way. My dad brought to my attention that it was a huge missed opportunity instead of having the basic regular turtle with no bandanna for party wallop to have it look more like metalhead. Although, one thing I have come to thinking of is that having the front of the van attached on the chest is more like a purist transformer style for him without partsforming, but I like using it as an intended shield on his arm to be more turtle than transformer, with that shield as his weapon.
“Go ahead and spend $200 on the same toy but slightly deferent! Go waste your money!” *Hehe, buddy, that’s what transformers fans do best.* Btw it would be cool if they retooled Bludgeon (again) and make the shredder
In truck mode, when u peg the swords in, make the handle part sticking out so it looks like little lights popping out the lower front van instead of the tips of the swords sticking out.
I highly recommend the Noneff head/hand upgrade for this guy. It gives a new head based on Metalhead (Which is what it should have been) turtle hands and some gap fillers.
Honestly, I always expected that if and when we got a Transformer that turned into the Turtle Van, in should’ve been like, an Autobot version of Metalhead from the ‘87 cartoon. Or like, if Donatello upgraded Metalhead to become a copy of the Turtle Van. Kinda makes me hope this figure would be repainted into Metalhead. Just replace all the green with grey and yellow with gold.
It’s a perfect collab figure. I’m hoping they might do a future collaboration with TMNT and make Krang in his Android body that can transform into the Technodrome as the Altmode. It’s be brilliant and an another iconic vehicle from TMNT.
Epic review That Toy Guy!!! I was going to get four copies of this figure, but I recently got hit with some large bills, so I decided toonly get one copy of this figure, however I got figures of the Ninja Turtles themselves to stand besides Party Wallop. lol :D Keep on being amazing.
Turtle. Turtle is cool. Turtle is nice. Turtle's details are cool. Turtle's swapping gimmick is cool. Turtle's weapons are cool. The fact that you can have either Mikey, Raph, Donnie, or Leo is cool. Turtle's van is cool. Overall, turtle is very cool. Idk if I'll get turtle, who happens to be a ninja, and a teenager........and mutant,......and A ROBOT!? but still very cool. Also, why do I feel a sudden urge to yell "Cowabunga!" for some reason? And...why do I crave pizza??
. (Remember, Transformers aren't technically robots. They're people, who are made out of metal, are mechanical in nature, and can transform into pretty much anything they want, but not technically robots)
This has to be the best collab so far. I have my first one who I made into Mikey, my favorite Turtle. Can't wait to get the other 3! EDIT: Yeah, I agree about that tab you shaved off. What makes it worse is that the particular piece is plyable plastic so you can't just force it into place with bending the whole panel uncomfortable far. I might just do the same on my copy.
If it wasn’t for the whole collab figures not being used for retools, and it being only a deluxe. I could see this possibly being retooled into a legacy animated bulkhead. Probably never will be, but a man can dream😔
This figure is definitely not a deluxe. Voyager at least and might be close to Leader class. Though with many Leaders being close to Voyagers the line is blurred here.
I thought this would be an autobuy for me but its way too small. I just put it back on the shelf at Target. This confirms it. Very close to something I would buy but not for that small/little detail of a toy priced at $49.99.
Honestly, if they did a godizlla former i probably would rather have it be kinda like grimlock. I feel like trypticon is too obvious and it would probably mean he would be big and therefore, expensive.
