Wackiest Transformers Toy Ever 😭  

Don't see this thing lasting, but the creativity with this design is definitely there!

Just wait until the rubber dry rots

Your production quality is insane. The lighting, angle, and audio. Chefs kiss. Subbed

Hasbro simplified the 1 step changers for budget cuts💀 Edit: Thanks for 1k likes :D

Honestly for all of the cheaper and supposedly “more efficient and better” modern transformers toys, aside from the potential breaking, this is pretty cool to me

Looks way better than the actual nightbird we got

I’d give it 8 out of 10 for being so simple. My toddler loves his and is happy with the simple transformation.

In my honest opinion, I think it is an awesome idea. It reminds me of the (transformium-nanotech)deceptions from age of Extinction. My only criticism is that it should come with replacement bands in case they fail.

I mean. It's definitely gonna break pretty quick but so do pretty much any toy in the hands of a kid. It seems perfect for playing, no complex transformations plus it's just one motion. I could see kids absolutely loving these things

I’m seeing this the same day as Robosen revealing Grimlock. The chasm of engineering quality is unreal, this figure makes my head hurt.

Mess up while transforming the toy and it becomes a background decepticon in a Bayverse movie.

Questionable longevity aside this is absolutely amazing from a gimmick perspective. It's unique and looks like fun

This looks like the quick transfor the transformers do in the middle of a fight and I like it for that.

Good 'ol hasbro. Giving fans the middle finger ever since AOE

At least it's more accurate then the mainline💀

Weirdly enough I think it somewhat captures the aspect of the very fast, somewhat action, transformations of the newer movies and shows.

I miss the days when unique gimmicks like this would be used for the basis of making a new character, instead of just making a million different versions of the same character. Like, even if the gimmick sucked, at least you would get a quirky new character out of it.

If nothing else, the transformation is interesting without being frustrating.

I feel like this could be the beginning of some interesting technological advancements for Transformers engineering. As it is now…it’s weird.

Does anyone else get vibes of one of those rubber bands that looked like different things like dinosaurs and bugs from how the rubber band looks in robot mode?

Ngl tho they seem cooler that most 1 step changers

For me personally, this is a good figure. 'Cause she's transforming fast

Weirdest ones I think i had as a child were the ones when the bayverse was at its peak, it was just the vehicle modes with a plastic engraving of the character transformed on the bottom with their name and insignia. Weird and maybe pointless but my parents had no money to constantly buy the normal transforming ones so these ones being cheap were a good alternative and I loved them so

Yeah, the rubber is totally not gonna snap from too much pressure or get worn out over time! :D (Ye plastic and metal ect. can wear out overtime, but the way this one is done is truly something else)

The transformation itself looks quite cool with it sort of flipping inside out in a pretty swift motion. The bands are quite ugly though on the car mode.

Even though it’s meant to cut cost. You got to admit it’s pretty cool!

If this was in the transformers movie, the transformation on this night bird will be awesomd

The only thing I've never liked about x-rays is how little they react, like "well that hurt let me get back up and keep fighting" i think itd be cooler if they were unique round finishers kinda like brutalities.

With all the hype over compliant mechanisms in the engineering world, I'm actually surprised that it took them this long to try it out for transformers. Supposedly, compliant mechanisms are more wear resistant than traditional linkages, so providing they don't cheap out too much and use a brittle material, it should be fine.

Unpopular opinion: that was actually pretty fun to watch hahaha It's a shame that the rubber won't last too long, but for me it's not a bad idea to always look for an innovation 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don't care what anybody says. This is just fun. I would have loved this as a kid.

It’s crazy that this was my first transformer I’ve ever had 😭 But now I have stuff like studio series grimlock and a sealed 1980s airrazor

Hasbro is just making prototypes for third party companies at this point 💀

Bro skips leg day

Love Nightbird. This is a great toy for young kids. Easy transformation and no parts to lose

TJ Omega put up a video of the gimmicks they're using with the Rise of the Beasts releases, and used the Cheetor toy for an example of the Flex Changers, in case anyone's interested. I will say, I gind the flex change intriguing, though I also have the same sentiment about much the bands might during play.

They really cranked out ALL of the weird in the movie lines.

next thing we know, Hasbro gives un Non-Transformable, Non-mobile, Unpainted figures.

Well it's better than going through the part of joining every joint into the vehicle mode

I love how he does all the reviews on these toys it’s amazing I subbed btw

Thats actually pretty neat and cool it is for sure a way to save time when a child is doing some make belief story in there head

"Witness and rejoice, Cybertron has forged a new spark!" "Uh, hello, I... am, I guess?" "Welcome to existence! Let me get a look at you." "O-okay." "Spark's healthy, nice shine to the chassis, transformation cog is... hm." "What?" "Your transformation cog is weirdly... squishy." "Is that bad?" "I'm not sure. Do you want to try- _carefully-_ transforming into your alternate mode?" "Okay, here goes." *rubbery noises* "Oh, cool, I'm a submersible! How do I loo- are you okay?" *wiping the remains of that morning's energon from his mouth and stepping away from the newly vomited puddle* "Fine! Fine. That didn't hurt?" "No..." "Good! You are a beautiful example of Primus's incredible variety, and don't let anyone tell you that you're a disturbing abomination." "Is that... likely to happen?" "... hey, do you want to meet Bumblebee!" "Ooh, Bumblebee!"

Wtf is that I stopped collecting transformers at 13 years old and this is what I come back to see

the car mode looks kinda cool

If your a collector you would have the Lubs for it so it don’t dry out I think it’s more of a flex/ball joints

I mean, I have something like this where it's super easy and all it turns into is a jet with legs.

That ain’t nightbird that’s daychicken💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

I mean ey, they're hot enough to replace Starscream

interesting concept but when i was young i got the little tiny micro guys alot of good memories with them

I kind of appreciate these weird gimmick toys even I don’t own any, they are just fun looking I could see myself getting these if I was younger

And somehow it's the one Nightbird with the least kibble

I’d probably still buy it despite the weirdness of how it transforms lol

This is ridiculously expensive for what it is as well 😂

I would of loved that as a kid.

Bro, she’s called Nightbird

Even after the rubber pieces inevitably breaks and the figure is in pieces, it will still be movie accurate.

12 yo jdm drewler: thats a gtr11!!1!

The feeling of cosmic lovcraftian dread that filled me when I saw that is indescribable

Bro skipped leg day

Looks like a great toy for transformer fans that may suffer from motor functions. I have a nephew with disabilities that struggles with transforming toys from the legacy or generations lines so he always asks me to do the transforming for him. Toys like this seems to be very accessible and appealing. I’ll have to buy him some. Thanks for the video!

Only teens and men buy transformers mostly yet they make tons of figures that only 6 year olds would buy… we need the early 2000’s toys back.

I bought this specifically because it was a smaller scale Nightbird which matched up with my other ROTB Battle Changers and Beast Combiners

Ngl, it’s an interesting mechanic 🤔 Cheap and gimmicky as hell, but pretty neat none-the-less

Hell yeah compliant mechanisms

“Stilt legs. Just like a real bird!”

this isn't a transformer, this is a ragdoll.

I think it's pretty cool, and watching you transform it is very satisfying ^^ But that being said I can't imagine it'd have very good build quality, especially when it gets older and the rubber bands get brittle

Nobody will ever convince me that these Flex Changers and One-Step Changers will ever be good Transformers toys.

It could be a fun little desk toy

I got the Cheetor one for my 3 year old. So far the elastic hasn't broken, much to my pleasant surprise.

TF1, ROTF, and DOTM are always gonna be the GOATs of Movie toys to me, everything fell off by the time AOE came out and when the one steps were introduced☠️

Despite is the same thing as 1 step changer.....transformation for me is very movie-ish

its a cool idea.. maybe they have to work more in the execution

That ruined ny childhood

This literal makes me physically ill

Oh, it's held together by compliant mechanisms, that's actually cool

The legs 💀💀

Love the dry snot sound you made.

Its cool they used plastic hinges. Saw a YT short on how practical they are. i still miss the metal transformers but alas that was a different life and a different time!

This seems like an evolution of the old gi Joe bands

I get what they were trying to do, but the execution is weak. Looks like a prototype 😂

Looks like an old happy meal transformer

crazy thing is that this is the best looking robot mode compared to the other two transforming ones 😂

The quality of transformers toys has dropped, “They don’t make ‘em like they used to”.

Better than mainline and studio series

Wait until a really cold state freezes those hard rubber bands. Kid's gonna snap them without realizing.

I love how you made the toy walk!!🤣❤

Thanks for this I’m just going to leave NightBAND in the package for display

I think its awesome imo, more detailed than one step changers, i think these are gonna be valuable in the future

Hasbro is just scamming children and parents at this point.

The sad thing is this is probably the most screen accurate Nightbird toy we’ve seen 😭

This is kinda cool!

Is it me or that robot looks THIN

I kept seeing these at the store and being like oh well. I need to see a review first. No one had made any reviews😅

Bro got that Beast Wars transformation

Look at dem legs😂

this feels cursed

This is disrespectful to Nightbird, my favorite transformer character 😢

"philipines made in china toy be like:

I would love these as a kid
