Grimlock has been my first run-in with the Dinobot mould and I kinda love it. Gorgeous head sculpt, it's the reason I bought him over Dinobot in the first place. Makes me wish there was a run of Dinobot with the toy style head, honestly.

Wake up baby, DrLockdown uploaded again

I'd say Velocitron Crasher is the best of the new Mirage mold because the black draws away from the gapping in-between the legs and the accessories just look more clean.

I like to think the way Mirage's vechicle mode logo not supposed to being split due to transformation is just a clever way of how many bots think he's a decepticon when he really isn't

This set is why I hate exclusives, in Canada. I missed the one hour window months ago and now all it ever says is "We're not sure when this will ever be back in stock." Grimlocks got real pretty green eyes.

22:52: Siege Mirage: "Oh? You're approaching me?" Kingdom: "I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer."

While I am glad you're overall happy with both Mirage and Grimlock, I do have an interest in seeing what you think about Kingdom Tracks. In the wider scene, he's not doing so hot considering his locking tabs or lack there of. I'd love to see you tackle him too. Either in a understanding diagnosis way or a "rip it to shreds" kind of way

dammit Lockdown you've persuaded me to buy this set I needed to buy food this week

Wow this set looks better than I was expecting. I was mainly curious about what changes they made to Mirage. I'm actually looking forward to my set arriving now.

man even I was expecting for Mirage to crash and burn for once it's great to be proven wrong

I was expecting to be meh about both, but I impulse preordered it (and the other set) when a friend said he wanted the G1 bots and I got to keep the beasts, but man...while I do much prefer Siege Mirage because my grandma gifted it to me and I'm very sentimental, I gotta admit this Mirage looks great...but the hand feel is kinda wonky, ours was stupid tight on most joints and the Autobot symbol on the legs was misaligned. But that Grimlock...ooooh that Grimlock...photos didn't make it justice, in hand it is spectacular, I got lucky and got one with great tolerances on everything except for the very tight thigh swivels, easily the toy I played with the most in 2021...to the point he may have been my favourite of the entire year, it just clicked with me, I prefer it to Dinobot and I've loved Dinobot for most of my existence.

There's a 5mm port on the back of Mirage's arms. It's not on the "shoulder," but it gives off a look that the launcher is resting behind his shoulder, and that works for me.

This set is pretty solid i like how grimlock looks and Mirage is pretty good

Honestly I'm fine with the unpainted white, especially the eyes being unpainted as that always irked me when looking at Dinobot via photos and videos when in Dino mode. I just wanted a nice dinobot with a fairly cohesive color scheme in dino mode and that's what I got with Grimlock, he just works for me and I'm happy I have him and can experience this mold for the first time

Personally I'm doing a custom cw mirage and when I get my check tommorow I'm gonna get the parts I'm missing so that he will be complete and I'd be happy to share pictures if your curious

I got this 2-pack today on my birthday. Love Grimlock. But I love Mirage more. Great pair of toys.😊

fun fact: in beast wars uprising grimlock with this look on the body of the thrilling 30's springer was an ex member of the wreckers ( for the first time a g1 member who makes sense to be a wrecker....................... so someone tell warpath that)

I got this two pack yesterday and I absolutely love Grimlock. Mirage is alright but I loooove Grimlock

5:00 TFW the way to make the beast mode work is to tear the robot in half to begin with -__-

Ive had my siege mirage (clear plastic legs) for 2 years now, and i think the plastic used isnt bad, no sign of breakage or anything

I honestly don’t really get the hate for the siege mirage owning for myself the clear plastic is pretty thick and sturdy, it is annoying how u can’t put the shoulder mounted rocket launcher at all on the kingdom mirage I’d say it really depends with cartoon accuracy is if the intention is to make it accurate in the first place then that should be the goal, if it’s not trying to be accurate then it shouldn’t matter

Love the doctor who master reference

Yeah, I do miss Classics went with new interpretations of the characters rather than "how can we make something that looks exactly like G1, just with modern engineering?". Somehow, that just feels lazy since they already know what points A and B are going to look like, they just need to figure out the transformation.

I relate to the build fighters kits joke

Every time I hear someone say bonnet I can't help but remember that one they might be giants song.

I always find it interesting to here what he calls a "controversy" since they usually aren't. lol

I know Grimlockimus did a custom repaint of his Grimlock.

I personally really like this 2-pack. Grimlock was a nice surprise announcement, and Mirage’s retooling is actually quite decent. Definitely gonna pick this one up, alongside Sideswipe and Skywarp.

This Mirage mold never really looked like Mirage to me, I prefer the Legacy repaint Crasher. I just got her today!

Battle Ocross Time Collection

I was one of the people who ranted about kingdom sideswipe

My biggest issues with exclusives is when they make members of certain teams exclusives. Such as why was Runamuck a retail release but people have to go to Target specifically for Runabout

The 2 Look So Spectacular

The only thing I would want to fix is the eyes for robot mode chest.

I have them on the way from Hasbro Pulse, I'm really excited they both look good

Why is everything wobbling?

Btw Beast wars Grimlock is Grimlock

Huh both my Grimlock and Mirage had great tolerances and mine had a few paint differences compared to yours(grimlock), anyone have an answer as to why this is?

I bought Mirage at a high price but got a free dinosaur with it...wish they had put a port for the shoulder rocket...WTF is that all about? The classics version is way too derpy in robot mode and I just didn't like any other previous versions. They always made Mirage derpy or nothing like his g1 character model which was always my favorite. Also "I hate white plastic...wish they would have molded it in white plastic because there is a lot of paint..." Never had issues with anything but clear plastics

Considering you reference Gundam a bit in your videos, you should totally check out the trumpeter bumblebee kit. It's honestly the most fun I've had building a kit ( especially in Aus lockdown atm). Keep up the great videos!

I find this funny since I put Netflix Mirage into my top 20 figures I got in 2020 lol

I like Classics Mirage and don't particularly care about G1 accuracy, but his bot mode is so weird. Cool, but really oddly proportioned.

Would've loved if they used kingdom Megatron instead of dinobot on grimlock

Would it possible to use one of cliffjumper’s guns attacked to mirage’s back to make the missile look proper?

Unpopular opinion, but I like Kingdom Grimlock better than Kingdom Dinobot

I got this pack today. It’s aweosme

my mirage doesn't have the shoulder problem your's has I think you got a bad copy. This is why you should never hold QC against a toy since it can vary from figure to figure unless they're widespread enough like with Skullsmasher

Its a nice set, the Dinobot mold is one of my favourite voyagers, and while Mirage is not much of an improvement over his Siege counterpart, its a good second chance at the mold for anyone who missed out before. I really hate that Mirages shoulder ports were removed tho, no idea why Hasbro did that.

Man, trying to find earth mode mirage is quite pricey. I wish that it was available separately because it’s currently going for a minimum of about 30-40 USD. Not including shipping

I'll get that set since I'm making a Transformers Stop motion series called Transformers Synergy.

Wait so whats your issue with Runamuck? He looks fine to me but I'm a tasteless bumlick

Want to know what is an upgrade from the original toy of Beast Wars Maximal Grimlock? This one doesn't have Gold Plastic Syndrome.

I really wanted this Grimlock to look like the original toy because the original toy isn't an option, being riddled with GPS. That's at least why I was upset with how he looks here.

Honestly it still feels dickish that figures released in siege as cyber vehicles are being re-released in more earth style designs as exclusives in some fashion or another, and packing them with sloppy seconds beast wars retools as well is another kick in the pants.(not saying they're bad retools, but clearly they're both just excuses to get another use from the same mold )

Siege Mirage isn't that bad well atles my copy he is still good and sturdy only problem is his paint is chipping

Glad that these two turned out to be good (one better than the other, but you see my point). Also, has Denis Villeneuve's Dune come to Australia? If so, thoughts? (No spoilers). If its only available in theaters, don't worry, my dad and I take social distancing VERY SERIOUSLY.

Where do i get this windvlade

is Huffer now challenging Bumblebee and Cliffjumper on how many versions of himself there are?

What are your thoughts about the Black Mamba Upscaled Dinobots? I was thinking of getting their Scorn figure...

any thoughts on Leadfoot?

I think the reason like people like this over the classics release is that the classics look like a stick figure than a bot

Question, do either of your grimlock or dinobot have incredibly loose and flimsy elbow joints?

U can’t scare me Well then we have ways to make u talk **shows fully translucent transformers figure** AHhHhHh *glitches out of reality*

can someone please explain to me why DrLockdown calls Road Ranger “racist”? i just dont get it

Today is the First day of the rest of you're Life.

My personal preference is the Siege one but Kingdom Mirage is nice to. Don't care about Beast Wars Grimlock though...

Honestly I think sometimes you kinda improvise in some of your reviews then doing a script

Wait, how is road ranger racist? I'm super confused. Btw I don't know anything about Road Ranger

Siege mirage was so much better then kingdom, kingdom mirage changed so little but somehow made the figure worse in quality and design

Classics mirage is ugly even if he's a great toy. thats why he's not defenitive.
