Gee I wonder what being pinned feels like

The main reason I love this channel is because of how genuine and down to earth you are, and how mindful and generous you are to your community. You’re one of the real ones, guy

The back and forth comparisons of the rotating vehicle modes was beautifully executed.

Watching your channel grow over the last year has been an absolute joy. Your output has become a part of my semi-daily routine. You have more than earned the ‘right’ to start a patreon.

I like this set honestly, this sideswipe looks better with sunstreaker than the siege. The skywarp is also a cool lil character to have. I'd like to have a combiner version but this works for me.

I personally like both figures in the set. I like the amount of retooling that went towards making Sideswipe into an earth car, even though the Siege was already passable. Skywarp i like a lot because, well, eagles are sweet birds. And while its not super convincing that its not a man doing funky yoga, it still looks good enough for me. I really do hope you find success with Patreon though! And I'm hopeful you'll be able to keep on trucking with this! We'll all be here for you!

I know he's not a huge change, but I love the more cartoon accurate look of him. He goes great with sunstreakee

Perhaps seeing a list of the next few figures you’ll be reviewing in the correct order could be a perk. Also I should be able to donate £5/roughly $6.25 soon.

So happy there's a Patreon now. I love being able to support creators I enjoy. I'd say stop beating yourself up over opening one. It's kind of you for being so concerned of others. Here's hoping people are financially stable enough to support creators they enjoy too.

Sunstreaker: “I’m so glad my undying perfection isn’t wasted on that side project of a mold.”

I'm fine with it, wanted it for the Skywarp anyways (love the reference in the specific cartoon) but I have a soft spot for the Countach and Sideswipe, mostly that it's my first MP figure

Thanks mate I really appreciate it. You just made my day way better by doing that.

I was watching this at 2am and the section of the song that sounds like a kid screaming just gave me a heart attack and i just bounch off my bed and hitted my head on the rough concrete wall and the loud thump woke up everyone

When it came to the Siege Sideswipe figure, I brought it. But the dirty white on him, didn't really sit well with me. Then this Kingdom Sideswipe was revealed. And I like this version more. The white is clean and the red shines better than the Siege version. Sure, there are some little changes to the mold compared to the Siege version, but it just looks cooler. As soon as this earth mode Sideswipe was revealed, I gave my Siege version away and awaiting my Battle Across Time 2-pack cope of him and Maximal Skywarp.

I think that this Sideswipes is perfect… for Sideswipe only. Maybe it can be retooled (yes, again) into a G1-reimagined movie Bumblebee.

i find it kind of enjoyable that sideswipe and sunstreaker both have roofs with bad colour matching

Fantastic review PerspectiveEnd!!!!!!!! Be glad your copy of Kingdom Sideswipe did have the issue mine did, where one of the wheels did not even spin, due to some excess plastic not being removed from the inside of the wheel. (grunt) :P That said, I enjoy that the windows on Kingdom Sideswipe are the same as Earthrise Sunstreaker. :D Keep on being amazing.

Coming back for a second time to mention, one use I see for this guy is the ability to have a new Sideswipe, freeing Siege up for the toyhax conversion set into Gobots Optimus for those who want a Chug version of the mold.

Exactly what u said about sideswipe having great dna but falling short as a descendant is how I feel about the kingdom waspinator. I found him yesterday and bought him. He feels cheap in hand, small, spindly, his “blaster” sucks, and everything wants to run into each other. Not to mention wasp mode despite being “realistic”, you can most obviously tell that it’s not which I know has been a problem with Waspinator but damn, I want the thrilling 30, I know where I can get one so I might have to get that one and return this one. The one thing I can say I like is the fact that he looks good with the other predacons (despite being shorter than blackarachnia) and I like the purple on him although I would have preferred clear wings as they would have been more show accurate. His head is definitely better than the T30 in terms of paint tho.

FINALLY! I wish I could contribute too, because you're so underated. You deserve a Patreon and more recognition.

The rocket launcher peg has only broken on my netflix deep cover… and i own 3 of this mold

I actually love your videos as you are a bigger influence on which figures I'll buy then any other KZfaqr.

I got this toy from Amazon a month ago. I have to sand off the white paint on the flat tab of the launcher, so I can attach it to his left shoulder better. Yeah, Hasbro and Takara should've casted his weapons in white plastic instead of using leftover stock of black weapons and paint them white...

i gotcher back when i get paid bro...i actually look forward to your videos. Would hate to wake up in the morning and your videos not be there.. your nihillistic approach to reviews brings me joy

Perspective, imagine this Sideswipe in Silver and charcoal black to look more like the movies. It would look perfect

I bet my great grandkids will find this mold on store shelves

I never got any previous version of the mold. So having this guy is a delight and the Skywarp is a great bonus. The purple on the original airazor just bugged me to no end for some reason so the entirely new head fixes that for me. All in all, I'm satisfied with this set. Great review

I think they left in the windshield detail because ER Sunstreaker has that on his (It's less pronounced due to seams running through it, but it's there.)

I gotta say, I love your content. So entertaining and funny and I am glad I’m not the first person to say that

Honestly I think this looks better then the previous one, especially in the white I’m not sure if that’s just the camera but something about it just pops.

You do such good work with your backdrop and lighting during reviews, maybe high def photos of figures as a Patreon perk?

Dang well I hope you are going to get better for this. I really love your videos. Anyways loved the review I'm only getting this 2-pack for Sideswipe, I really don't care at all for Maximal Skywarp so he is going to stay on my shelf forever.

It's funny that the artwork on the box shows him pulling a 90

It’s that one set with that other figure that no one really wants.

Great review! I personally don’t have a sideswipe in my collection so I hope I’ll get my hands on this figure as soon as I can!

Good luck with the Patreon, Perspective.

When I got my Siege Sideswipe, all the joints were loose and he couldn't stand up at all. I also prefer the colors over the siege figure. So I really prefer the Kingdom one.

Oof I was thinking of trying to get the kingdom red alert but those knees

For the higher tier patreon is allowing someone of that tier (or higher) be able to chose a subject of a non-figure review video, like talking about that toy line of Transfomers handled incorporating their gimmicks the best, or how your thoughts on how other Transformers toylines could have been improved.

Funny thing, on carousell (its like Singapore's Facebook marketplace) some guy was selling ONLY the Kingdom sideswipe so I didn't even need to pay for skywarp it was like 40 SGD. Life's funny

wishing you all of the luck, going forward

if only youtube would give this man more money for his effort

I'm going to get this and Sunstreaker so I can have both of the brothers together again at last.

Coming back because I happened into a Gigawatt and was curious what you thought about it's toolmate... As Gigawatt came before Kingdom, I suspect they reused gigawatt's leg retooling, which had the vents on the back of the delorian collapse into the back of the legs, but due to the design, reduced knee bend to about 1/2 of Siege's

At least his shoulder can have the cannon on it…

Happy birthday Sus-soundwave-looking-cassete

Good luck with the Patreon. Once your income is stable I recommend opening a PO Box. I can’t afford to send money but I can absolutely send over a figure or two to give you more material to work with.

I got this set because I never had a Sideswipe before (except that old really bad Cyber Battalion figure). I'm just on a hunt for earth modes (except Mirage), and I just really like this guy. He animates well in stop motion too.

I feel bad that this channel is suffering issues. I do hope that you can find a new way to resolve this. Be that making less videos but being able to take on a second job to get funds or any other number of ways to keep this channel running. Any way this goes, This channel has been a joy to watch and I would hate that it becomes a burden on your shoulders. Please do what is best for you and I hope you keep going strong!!!!

Whenever you say cyberpunk I get PTSD flash backs to when I first played cyberpunk 2077

I feel if you already have Siege sideswipe there's little point in getting him, but if you don't have the siege one (like me) this is definitely a must have

When both of the 2 packs first came out i had them both in my cart and when I clicked check out they were both sold out

My seige sideswipe never had those problems. I guess someone is just bound to get a bad one.

My copy of Siege Sideswipe's chest flap doesn't flop about easily. In fact, the chest is pretty secure when in robot mode. I do have the floppy legs on my copy of Siege Sideswipe.

The siege figure and the New kingdom figure do have backward movement on the sholders but its on a ratchet, so you need a bit more force to move it.

Good luck with the patreon

Maybe a monthy Paetron only vote for which of a list of feasible figures you review in a designated Paetron "sponsored" episode. (Feasible meaning, not $800 figures) at some tier. then maybe the highest tier could be "This guy basically paid for the figure of this Episode and my meals for the next week for much larger donations"

Come on guys we need more heralds of perspective. If we get enough we could have a council of perspective!

Honestly this looks closer to sun streaker to me now and I don’t think it makes sense that there brothers and red alert isn’t

This is a cool figure and I hope you can keep going and making these videos

There’s something so addicting about transforming this bloke to me, I literally can’t stop it. Hell, I even love Skywarp aswell, he works as an amazing little display piece for the beast wars figures. It’s just a damn good set IMO. Honestly, my only issue is that Skywarp’s feather colours look more like Airazor’s colours than Airazor does lol

Really? I must have bad QC on my Kingdom one because the stomach doesn’t want to stay tabbed in at all

My ark's right shoulder ratchet shaved off its connection to the plastic. So the ratchet is in tact but it isn't connected to the plastic it was on anymore. Which means the arm is basically hanging on by a thread. It won't fall off but it's loose as HELL. I recommend going in to the arms and loosening the tooth that moves the ratchet. Either by sanding down a little or compressing the ratchet tooth so it passed the ratchet easier. I did it for my left shoulder and it's a lot less tight now but can still hold a pose.

Your the only person for a good reason why i should try patreon but sadly i dont got the money for it i do just enjoy your videos and how you balance everything out like the pros and cons. kingdom sideswipe may be a down grade but i still love it.. great video👍

Your comment about the painted missile sticks out to me here. I managed to get a Kingdom Red Alert before this pack arrived to me and I compared the two. Red has the same accessories, but his gun and missile launcher are unpainted black plastic with a red missile. But on further imspection, it was really a white missile they painted red. Then I saw Sideswipe's missile was a red one painted white. What exactly were their thought processes here? Painting a piece surely costs extra, so why make it in two colours and paint them the opposite colours. I just feel like all logic with it was thrown out. Damn, I am a lot more wound up about this than I thought.

You should do merch as well. It gives people more options on how they want to support you.

Seems you got a good one cus from what I've heard mine and most Kingdom Sideswipe waist tabs still don't lock in.

I missed out on Siege Sideswipe because Australian retailers are fucking _dire,_ so this guy's gonna be my Deluxe WFC Lambor once my Pre-Order ships in December.

I think something's up with your Spin-out there

Bit late to this one, but at least I watched it. Nice video as always

Thankful to have your input on this figure. I wish they could get their 'upgrades' dinner in a way that felt like it was. I like certain parts of this mold, but overall I like the siege feel more. I wish I could somehow cannibalize both figures to make one great figure.

I wish Hasbro would have made a Siege version of Sunstreaker. The Siege Sideswipe version looks so much better especially with the Toyhax decals.

Man maybe this pack is hard to find, but not harder to find than Netflix bumblebee. Anyone remember when that happened? I sure don’t. Also I hope you raise enough money man!

It drives me nuts that before this came out i was like "we need an er sideswipe cuz the lambros need an identical car mode" and we got it.. via an overpriced boxset at a time when er streaker was badly distributed and impossible to get. Le sigh

Was rewatching this video to see if anything was different with this mold of the character and the shatter glass version that comes with whisper and Rodimus, oh boy is the shoulder blaster connection terrible! The tip of the gun just constantly wants to pop off if touched even the slightest, Mini Con is great tho 😅

I really wish that I was able to donate, because these videos are usually the high point of my day.

I'm going to nitpick that Kingdom Sideswipe and a lot of the Earthrise cars don't have rear-view mirrors (and spoilers). How are earthling drivers supposed to know if objects aren't closer than they appear?

Now I wonder what Skywarp is like. Guess I'll see wednesday!

in all honesty i prefer the siege one over the new one. the more muted colours are nicer to my eye

I just got the kingdom one from a flee market and my copy does not have the chest section connect securly, he looks so good though

The return of the king (my birthday is on October 24th and I'm turning 19....god damn...time really does fly.

4:45 If you fix something, you end up fucking it. Hasbro logic

im getting siege optimus in this tuesday

Anyone else think the seige sideswipe could pass as a generic autotrooper? Like sideswipe just has that generic look in my opinion for just a regular autobot

This is a bit off topic but I’m curious if your gonna do a ss 86 sweep review? I the sweep and prefer the color scheme to the scourge.

I sent an email to you about the birthday shout out request. First of all, I’m sorry if the email was written weird or something. The only emails I know to write are formal ones, usually about college. You’re the first KZfaqr I’ve sent any email to. About the Patreon, I can’t donate anything at the moment as I’m in college and my financial situation isn’t too great. I think I’ll be able to donate once I get a part time job, which I may get much later. I’m sorry that I can’t help you out with this, but I just wanted to say that I love your content and appreciate the work you put in for it. Really hope you get big sometime in the future, cause you deserve it!

Kinda surprised this re-tool has that many downsides compared to the original. Also while you don't want to limit shoutouts to just Patreon backers, perhaps it would be a good idea to give them garenteed shoutouts at the end of your next sets of videos just until you come up with a perk system for backers.

Excellent vidya

I like the stuff in the pack, though seen as I already have airazor and I’m planning to get kingdom red alert so I doubt I’ll be getting this

Figure looks good but im just gonna go for the red alert instead

Soon, I’ll hopefully be able to do the $20 tier.

I think I’ll stick with siege sideswipe

I wanted to get this But now that I know his legs can’t simply bend a 90 I don’t think I’ll get this at all but as always good video man!

I just recently got the new Sideswipe. He is awesome. Think you just got some bad QC issues with your legs, they dont flop on my copy

I personally love the bright red on this Sideswipe, it just does it for it me. For the Patreon, why not make it that the Patrons can vote on what future videos are about, people who don’t support the Patreon can still suggest videos and stuff though.

Congrats to the winner

Awesome video, I’m sorry to hear about your money problem I couldn’t be able to donate my self but I got an idea as a perk how about a collection tour for a perk I think people who donate would like that.

My QC on Sideswipe is a bit worse than yours. My legs are REALLY loose and there’s a bit of paint chipping on my shoulder cannon.

a potential perk could be teases at future reviews

I got the red alert version yesterday and I have 2 siege moldes(black deep cover and sideswipe) and I gotta say, I can’t tell which is better, the darn thing is slathered in crisp-white paint but it’s almost unpleasant to handle and the posing is a little underwhelming, and there are a some paint chips straight out of the box, but it makes up for that for having a NICE looking robot mode and Lamborghini type car. Also I got g2 ramjet and I gotta say, it’s great, the fake cockpit is a little annoying on the normal star scream but I see the head not being the front of the plane that bad, it’s just not big enough for the part it needed to be in. Wow, did not anticipate this being as long as it did, take care, and did you get a few inches of snow?
