I cried for the whole intro THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD

I get why some think Ironhide isn’t great but personally I really like this mold. It might me my favorite of the SS Bayverse figures I own. I think they knocked him out of the park. Glad to own the mold for a second time (hope DNA Designs reissued their DOTM upgrade kit for him) and hopefully for a DOTM release

Love the intro. It's a shame that there's QC issues. But I'm not surprised with this being a multipack. I was thankfully able to get an Ironhide and a DotM Ratchet for killer prices.

I just got this pack recently, and I’m glad I got my hands on it, because now my collection feels so much more complete with the original Autobot cast! Edit: also, I don’t think it’s Ironhide that’s too big. I think it’s Optimus that’s actually too small.

Despite the Bayverse movies being less than desirable, they still hold a place in the hearts of many 2000’s kids, and no matter how bad they may’ve been, DAMN was the soundtrack good

It’s funny, I actually had the exact same paint chipping on Ironhide and the exact same tab also broke on my Prime also lmao. But as someone who grew up with the Bayverse movies and saw the first one a bunch as kid, this set is an actual dream come true for me and I love it. It’s nice finally having the original Autobot’s together again.

Looking at SS Prime, I think the problem I have with him is his size. Ironhide is, like you said, out of scale with Prime, but he is decent size bigger than the others. Prime, on the other hand, was massive in the film, and even Ratchet size is too big compared to a semi. Optimus just looks out of scale with the rest. At the same time though, I don't know what a SS Leader Class Prime would even be without it just being the MPM, which was basically a cleaned up version of the ROTF leader, and that one was re-released and redecoed to hell and back.

Regarding Ironhide's wheels, there is a tab that takes a fair bit of force to make them flush with the bottom of the feet and solves the wobbling. I'm honestly glad that the three molds I care about survived the QC goblins relatively unscathed (aside from Prime's grill tab snapping off from the stress and tolerances) and the major issues were with Bee and Ratchet who I already have replacements for in my collection.

michael bay would like to personally thank you for buying all of his plastic toys and recreating his intro

That intro!! Definitely was icing on the cake for this review the first transformers bayverse movie was my childhood I used to love it so so much seeing all these guys together is fantastic absolutely fantastic

I’d actually love this intro as the standard, the figure at the front with footage of them in the back like this, really cool, reminds you of who the toys are really

Our opinions on this set are virtually the exact same, lol. I was not expecting for jazz to be my favorite of the set, but he's just so fun. I customized my figures (albiet not the most professionally, just some paint and a fine-tip brush) and it majorly improves the look of them.

0:00 to 1:38 "Whoa that was pretty cool!" 1:39 "Ahhh, my eyes! Too bright, too sudden!"

This intro was amazing! You should absolutely be proud of this!

The grill on my Jazz from this set is SUPER loose and doesn’t stay pressed in whether in robot or alt mode. So, I had to just put a tad bit of wall tack behind it so it doesn’t flop around

Also for ironhide you have to press a little bit more on the tires and then they will tab in completely I figured that out because I had the same issue as you did with the original mold

I own this set and I’ve also had the chipped paint on the headlight of Ironhide on my copy, Hasbro should’ve put a little more space between the figures and the cardboard in front of them. Ironhide and Jazz feel and look the best in the set when Bumblebee’s the clear weak link of it. Hope Hasbro do more anniversary sets after this all the way up to Last Knight, it was a good tribute to 07 and they could as easily do that for the other four movies and potentially Bumblebee?!

Got Dotm version of this Bumblebee mold and tbh I quite enjoy it. Tolerances are fixed in that one, gray is the correct color, It have all the paint it needs and the weird tabs at the doors were added because with ss01 none of those panels would align leaving some gaps in the rear doors.

Ngl that intro kinda goated, got nostalgic for something I barely remember watching.

Maybe I'm just lucky but my pack had no QC issues or paint chipping other than bumblebee being slightly too lose. Im personally really satisfied but I see why the rampant QC issues would turn some people away. Jazz is easily my favorite, then ironhide, prime (i got some toyhax with him), bumblebee, then ratchet. (i prefer his dotm deco but his clear plastic cracked so im using this one. Not bad by any means, just my least favorite.) I prefer the decos (except on bumblbee, though not bad imo) and espiecally the tinted windows on all of them and overall think this pack is full worth the price and am so happy to own it.

0:53 the moment where the heads overlap is pure perfection

Now that intro was beautiful puré nostalgia for me

This box set has me feeling mixed. On my first copy, Prime's head was broken off right out of the box. On my second copy Ironhide and Jazz suffered from paint chips. I'm pretty sure how Amazon shipped them was to blame like you mentioned but my Bumblebee was also a floppy mess. But like, Ironhide, Jazz, and Prime brought me so much joy just messing with them that it kinda makes me forgive the issues I had, but boy did it not give a good first impression.

I broke into tears for this intro remembering me and my brother watching this movie together

I wish I knew about the grill for my copy before I tried transforming Optimus back to robot mode.. *Overall I am obsessed with this box set and I did a bit of paint jobs!*

The whole intro makes this the best review of all time. I wanna know what remix it is

The intro made me wanna watch Transformers 2007 again great job

I still have my first edition movie bumblebee, his paint has thankfully held up and other than having to tighten his torso ball joint ive had no real issues and im glad for that.

to make ironhide do a wider stance you can just put the wheels back in vehicle configuration, makes a flat surface and is a lot more stable

One of my most favorite intros on this channel

I was lucky enough to find all the original releases of these. Only ever found one ironhide and bought it of course. I believe it was only one per case. Jazz is my favorite. The mechtech dotm ratchet to me is a better figure. He’s also slightly bigger in vehicle mode than studio series. Good stuff

THE INTRO WAS PURE FLAMES

God this set is my holy grail!😩 this, and finally completing SS Devastator.

Damn the whole video is great as always but that intro……. Absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Here I thought I was the only one who had issues with these figures. All of mine came broken or with issues one way or another. Some of Optimus' hinges came broken right out of the box, along with the front grill scratched by the carton box like yours. I can notice it on 12:04 at the top left of Optimus' grill. Bumblebee's door came broken, and had ink droplets on the front bumper. Jazz came with a broken antenna from his head, Ratchet's joints came very flimsy and the pieces weren't cleanly cut, and Ironhide looks scratched all around. I always wondered how mine had the paint chipping on the front light, now I know. Great review. It is worth it for the rare figures, but the quality control is very bad. I too wish they would've released these in December to have them do more quality control before shipping... But overall, the quality control and experience has been decreasing while prices continue going up...

I am glad I was warned about the tab on Prime. I shaved it down before I transformed it. It is too tight of a fit and I can see why so many get snapped off. My Ironhide also had the same paint rub on the lights. Amazon does give the option to ship in an Amazon box, I noticed that too late though. The loose joints don’t bother me that much since I just use display stands. I do like how most Transformers have connection holes for stands now.

I agree totally with the rankings, though sometimes I put Jazz first. I also broke the tab. Bumblebee is so frustrating for all the reasons you mentioned. It's not just your copy.

Glorious intro wish I’d picked this up when I had the chance 😢

I'm thankful to be able to get this set for my birthday. Unfortunately I too suffered some qc issues with my ratchet and even broke the grill tab on my Optimus.

Yup I also broke that tab on the grill of the prime, well at least now i know with one of my movie primes is staying on robot mode and which one is staying in alt mode lol

I got these and I love them since I only started collecting maybe 6 months ago so this was my first introduction to ss live action figs

I was looking at getting this cause I only could find ironhide and 05 Optimus but not the other 3. Yet seeing the QC and paint issues people are reporting Im honestly turned off by this pack what’s also not helping is I still can find it on Amazon Canada. Hopefully the other movie anniversary packs are better QC wise. I could see DOTM being Optimus, ratchet, bumblebee, sentinel prime, and ironhide or mirage. If that’s done well and thought out it could be really cool

I think Jazz actually has a kibble fix where the spoiler and tail lights would be in their proper place in the back and the hardtop can be removed and used as a shield

Fun fact, Ratchet in 2007 movie and in ROTF was Yellow, he became green only in DOTM

Intro was awesome, I love the dark background and lighting with the music. Pity that the paints chipped. On a side note, are you going to be picking up the buzzwords bumblebee 44 optimus prime?

That intro was amazing

My ironhide's front light also chipped, my bumblebee's lower legs are ultra loose plus none of its tabs can line up so alt mode is never able to look nice, and it has some of the sloppiest paintwork I've seen on a tf figure my whole life, my ratchet's right leg was not even attached to the figure in the box, plus if you touch the figure, the leg will fall off, and my box was completely mauled by FedEx so it was a struggle just to get the box out of the packaging box, but I still love the pack though, ironhide is a nice standing figure, prime for posing plus Jet-Powered Prime, and jazz is super fun to transform

Hey, so I JUST found out, you can deal with Iron Hide's wobble by pushing the wheels in more. They actually have a tab and it gets rid of the wobbling!

When I got mine from Amazon, I selected the option to have it arrive in an Amazon box and funny enough, they just threw it into a much larger box without any padding so the whole thing was just being jostled around violently. I guess I must’ve been lucky or something cuz all of my figures have very perfectly tight joints with the only problem being on ironhide’s orange side markers having mad paint chipping on both sides for obvious reasons.

I bet they didn’t put much paint/effort into the bumblebee reissue cause I bet 99% of people already have this mold lol

The tires on ironhide’s feet actually tabs in if you didn’t know which gives it the proper angle.

Just got a bunch of my old Transformers toys out of a plastic tote that was in the attic for 25 years and none of my old G1 toys had any chipping. The worst part was the hands on Scattershot had faded and thats it.

They made Ironhide a little bigger from the third part onwards. You can see this especially in his death scene when he stands in front of Sentinel.

I have a very similar Bumblebee. It hard to say whether or not it is the exact same mold as there have been many variations. But he is a nightmare to Transform even without loose joints.

I hope DNA design does a reissue on the DK-10 upgrade kit and include a Mattel masked ironhide head that he had in n the 2007 transformers video game.

That intro is your most epic yet!! As for the set, the only thing I would want is Jazz. Might as well keep hunting for him, given that the stuff in this box set sucks. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

Another fantastic review! You typically make great intros but this was the best one yet! I think the best one out of the set is Jazz, he has a way better paint job that, if given a bit more details, can be reissued for the premium finish line. Imo ratchet is way better than the original, just because of his face. Bee is, like the common consensus is the worst out of the pack, but I don’t really care, all I care about are the black stripes in robot mode, and I can add that myself. Prime and Ironhide are fantastic imo. I wanna pick the set up but it’s sold out on pulse and amazon, and eBay is over $200.00 and i know that is still a pretty awesome deal for the molds. If anyone can help me find a listing priced $200.00 or under for my birthday in April, that would help a lot. Also if anyone can tell me if hasbro pulse or Amazon will restock that will help. Again, great review!

I’ve been looking in to collecting transformers movie figures but I might go with the 3rd party figs as they look really good / screen accurate

You can push the wheels in more on his feet. Once you do that he actually stands just fine

i wish i can find my studio series clunker bee and ratchet, if i find those 2 id complete the 07 autobots, also from what i remember my rachet never had loose joints, it sucks you got a bad ratchet

Guess I just got off really lucky with QC, because aside from some very slight looseness in Ratchet’s hips, everyone’s basically perfect (sans Bumblebee because I straight up didn’t both taking him out of the box lmao, I already got SS49) Love all of them to bits honestly but I will agree Ironhide is kinda frustrating in his possibility. Also I really like the modern Camaro Bee mold and Prime, they complex but not “too complex for their size” complex _glares at Car Dropkick_ Overall it’s a nice set to have and I’m glad I got my hands on it, hope they reissue more sought after molds eventually too like Shockwave and Jetfire

Just got this set yesterday and still having a blast. My main QC issue is that my Ratchet somehow has 2 right arms so he can't transform properly, but the robot mode still looks good even if he can't transform. The other 4 are really good however. Bee thankfully isn't a floppy mess, and the last 3 are perfect (tho I did break Prime's grill immediately the first time I put him back into robot mode)

Just a thing I noticed when unboxing skytread from siege It splits into 2 parts lol

But is easy to know what’s 05 to 32 because 05 has a second couler on the grill

You’re not the only one. I broke the tab on my Optimus a few years ago when I got it (mine is the DOTM version).

The DNA designs upgrade kit gives you ankle tilt for ironhide

He:you can skip the intro Me:oh hell no baby I'm staying🖤❤

These are pretty decent actually (besides Bee.), And I am still a firm believer Prime should have been a Leader Class. Semi Trucks aren't just that small. While Ironhide is a bit big, I feel like it would be less noticeable if Prime was the proper scale.

On my copy of Ironhide, the left elbow was so loose that the cannon would literally twist it in the opposite direction, and the left arm overall sucked because the Brake Disk wouldn't pop out, the previous elbow, and the cannon would NEVER stay on.

How long would you say it takes to transform bumblebee because I might get this set for Christmas

The intro was as good as you said it would be!

I snapped the exact same tab on my Prime! So I understand that pain

Same but I think the grill tab broke on mine because the left bicep is the right one just backwards and as such pulled against the tab and sheared it’s off idk if this is a qc issue with the mold or not

I hate it when paint scratches I had finally gotten a legacy cosmos but the moment I opened him his right arm was completely scratched up

6:06, can confirm, I got two copies, the original one and the replacement one both had this issue. They clearly ran out of paint budget.

one of the feet on my revenge of the fallen bumblebee got slightly Miss molded so it won't tab in but the other is fine

Ironhide isn't too big, optimus is too small. Modern voyager primes/cabovers have this issue where they are shrunk down a bit to fit into the price point. In scale prime should be a couple inches taller

My first ironhide came with a broken knee from being so tightly packed and getting tossed during shipping, but my replacement came in fine

In the background you should make it look like how they were hiding in the first movie

I wish the 5 pack studio series Optimus prime came with some fire power like an ion blaster at least so he doesn’t have to use swords a lot because I ordered the Tfsafari weapons set from eBay, that’s meant for SS44 which I don’t own, as I got the weapons for 5 pack Optimus to use like the Knucks, big cannons and smokestack extensions.

While I was opening my boxset, I played Arrival on Earth in the background and it was one of the best nerd-gasms I had.

Lovely work on this one. Amazon had sent mine in the Hasbro mailer, so it wasn't at all padded or anything, and I heard something rattling around in the box when I picked it up from the post office... Sure enough, something had broken, because my Optimus in this box set had his head broken clean off at the neck... (Damn you and your clear plastic, Hasbro, lol) Thankfully, it wasn't a TOTAL loss, because I already had a copy of SS44 Prime that was missing pieces. Just scavenged the pieces off of the Prime from this box set, slapped them onto the (better painted) DOTM Prime, and called it good for display.

I remember having jazz as a kid an ripping him in half because I thought I was Megatron but I realized I broke it…

Ever since late 2021 there has been a noticeable increase in paint related QC issues on figures that I buy from basically anywhere. I guess we just have to deal with it, makes collecting harder :(

I’m pretty sure if you push in the wheels on the feet as far as they can go they tab in on the bottom and are flush with the tilted feet, that is at least how mine works.

This is my second Optimus mold and even being nice the tab breaks...

holy crap best intro ive seen so far

Ironhide made this set worth it as it was the only one I was lacking. Sure wish I knew why they never did a RoTF or DoTM IH. I like the yellow ratchet is molded in compared to PF, which is too bright. But his tolerances are perfect where as this set's are terrible. Jazz arrived with a huge gash of scraped paint on top of the car which bothered me so much I did a replacement return and the second set got scratched too, though not as bad. I broke the tab on my prime as well. I was just trying to wiggle it apart too, it's simply toleranced too tight and strongly urge sanding the tabs town even if you already know what direction to unclasp them. BB's windows are a nightmare as always to tab into car mode, and I suspect prone to breaking like all the other versions of this mold.

I broke that same tab on Optimus, you aren't the only one

There is a fix for Ironhide’s feet but you have to buy the DNA upgrade for it which is also hard to get.

I hope the bumblebee can color match with the 49 version so I can give it the arms

I think you should do a kibble fix for jazz

Given that it appears out of stock or at overinflated prices (200+ on Amazon at least), I got mine just in time (for sale too). Only QC issue has been my Bumblebee's left door fell off and snapped, so in car mode you can see his foot. But since SS-49 is good, that should make up

This was my childhood I grew up watching the movies and the cartoons I was born 2001 bro Ironhide was my favorite then he died I'm also into ninjago 😂😂 jazz was my favorite too

The tab on prime's grill is almost 100% guaranteed that it will break, it has happened to quite some people already, and if it doesn't break then the tolerances will make it extremely hard to make the grill look good on truck mode.

Honestly, they should have made a decepticon pack too, I would have actually bought that.

Ironhide posing is like that because it’s the way he was designed and the way the cgi is too

Can you start posting links in the description when you make reviews? It would be nice to know where to go to buy these

I know you might not like the smoke stacks on Optimus prime to short for a truck like that

I really hope they do a box-set like this for the original Decepticon team from the 1st movie
