I did love the upside down badge. It cemented them as a third faction (while still nominally Predacons) and reflected his origin as part Pred, part Optimus.

I don't know why but I feel like they did that to pose him as a new faction just to capitalize on rise of the beasts

@@ashuraomega7113 decidedly not the case.

@@angusmcnay5449 and how would you know?

Nah, I think that truck-moded iteration of Scourge imo looks alot cooler than his Sweep G1 iteration because of that weird goatee lol.

I find that yes it does light up a little all the time which is cool, though at the same time, I find it almost impossible to get his eyes to glow.

You auditioning for the PerspectiveEnd Anime?

Peak Diogenes moment.

Man I knew I heard that somewhere before then Hypertech comes in here with knowing Diogenes.

You are welcome.

Glad to supply.

Well then this mold is probably one you will love.

Ahh, that explain the expression.

A strange thing for him to have all the time now... And also even for that one episode.

@@PerspectiveEnd That also was the symbol of the Decepticons in that series.

I always upload this much. I do 3 videos a week, and been doing that for 2 years now, except for like 3 months at the start of 2022.

@@PerspectiveEnd ooh it probably just feels like a lot because of school

I don't think I've seen any of those upgrade kits.

That's all very weird and very dumb of them to have done.

@@PerspectiveEnd the bizarre thing about it is with the RID release of scourge they actually ended up removing the logos from the disks because the hasbro team didn’t want to use the upside down logo. (if hasbro could do that why didn’t takara)?

I'm happy to hear I could warp your mind like a Chaos god. Ahhh... That's the problem we all suffer. Money.

@@PerspectiveEnd Was that a freaking Chaos Gods reference? Are you also a Warhammer 40k fan?

I mean I said the words Chaos god didn't I? And while I can't say that I've played the Tabletop, I can say that I am a fan of some level.

@@PerspectiveEnd blood for the blood God they should of made scourge blood red for his windows instead of pink

Thank you so much!

@@PerspectiveEnd if you don’t got anything planned for 9k special could u review studio series 35 jetfire

I don't know how that didn't cross my mind, yeah that's cool.

He looks pretty good, but he needs his purple damn it.

I forgot he got those as like a weird powerup.

100% that is me.

Repaints 2, Electric Paloozaloo

I don't know that you needed to put the Velocitron Speedia 500 infront of every character there. I got nothing to really add to any of that, you summed them all up pretty good.

My Walmart is Choked with a Sinful Glut of them. Sorry about yours.

I don't want you to do that. So I guess that's motivation to not review it. Also Ehobby can screw it self, give us Construction colors.

Wait this thing yellows? And you are absolutely welcome.

@@PerspectiveEnd yeah, the forearms and joints on him are a completely different color than what they're supposed to be. If it wasn't for that the figure would be stellar and it's such a stupid issue that hasbro could easily fix

Thank you. Glad you like it.

How did I not notice that Scourge was that out of Focus? Anyways awesome. Thanks for sharing this with your girl.

I mean if you can find it, the problem is that it's an exclusive so it's really what you can track down.

Thank you!

Then why the hell did they Androgynize the hell out of Arcee!

Do they need to be upside down for that? Couldn't you just use the G2 autobot logo in general.

@@PerspectiveEnd The logo can be used in general, but for some reason Hasbro is not using it. The previous Transformers figures to have the G2 Autobot logo before Scourge were the Combiner Wars G2 Aerialbots.

Same here, I like his and Artfire’s colors the best

Yeah, there are a few MPs they never made, 3p has stepped in more than once already though.

I can see why you feel that way about the other two, and yeah Terrorsaur is worth considering but I wont say you need this one.

It has yellowing?

@@PerspectiveEnd it is more like discoloring on the biceps/forearms.

I didn't pick that thing up, I don't need more versions of that mold than I have already.

Did Red Alert have Different Ears than Sideswipe on the G1 Toys?

@@PerspectiveEnd the original G1 toys, Sideswipe and Red had the same head. In the G1 cartoon the newer toys they are different.

Yeah I get why, a lot of these are pretty uninspiring.

Yeah it's a lot of fun for what its.

For me it's Burnout. I didn't think I'd ever keep it, till I got it in hand.

My problem is that the Autobots don't need so many Generics, they already hugely out number the cons.

Well, atleast you're honest about RID Scourge because others who only like the G1 version never take anything seriously lol.

That's a bit dumb of them, they probably should have saved the pain for the robot mode, even if I appreciate the way it looks now more.

A lot of people have already offered to buy him. But I'll consider it.

Then answer me this, if they weren't going to do a male mold of Arcee, then why did they Androgynize the shit out of her. Also if they just weren't even Remotely going to do Road Rocket, then why have it be Road Rocket, and even maintain the coloring? And also, why were they still referring to Road Rocket as male in the reveal if they were always intended as female. The Wiki can be wrong, the Wiki Can lie, or the Designer can Lie to the Wiki. I don't buy for a second that this was ever supposed to be female by intent.

@@PerspectiveEnd Sure I will. Stylistic decision. Why is Bulkhead not round like Prime's design? Because they went for a more 'evergreen' look. (Remember how leaks suggested Legacy was to be in part a return to pre-Prime Wars designs?) The Legacy Arcee mould looks pretty feminine to me but if you don't see the mould as unambiguously female, then I'm not gonna change your mind there. That's a question of aesthetics at the end of the day. I'm struggling with what you mean for second bit. Takara wanted a female ninja type, and Road Rocket was ultimately picked to fit that out of the two Laser Cycles (I would guess as the black deco of Road Pig would have been too similar to Flamewar, name aside). What are you relying on when you say HasTak weren't "remotely" planning on doing Road Rocket, when that's what they picked, and told us as much? It was later in the design process, and they told us that, and it's reflected in the mould. As to why they referred to Road Rocket as male in the streams, I'd say most likely it was a simple mistake. Road Rocket's G2 toy was male after all, and Hasbro have certainly shown they can play it fast and loose with the details. The Wiki is absolutely a secondary resource, but it is also held to editorial standards. I'd say check out the original livestream as primary research but if you're suggesting the designers are lying then I guess that's redundant. I'd also suggest checking out the designers' Instagrams but if you think they're lying about the process I guess there'd be no point. Considering how open they've been on the recent livestreams about their work, I don't see what they'd gain from lying and I think to arbitrarily accuse the designers of lying because you think the final result isn't convincing is pretty bad faith. There's honestly no shame whatsoever in saying "I don't think this looks feminine as a mould and it's ill-fitting for both characters they've gone with. It feels slapdash to me." And I'd agree in part there, as they confirmed they worked from the 'female ninja' mould and worked backwards to find a matching character.

It's definitely cooler than I anticipated, but the Autoboots don't need a version of the Seekers in my book.

Thank you so much!

Artfire is the correct name. And thank you, I didn't expect it so fast my self.

I think its a bit more than Dull.

I don't remember Gipsy Danger having long legs?

@@PerspectiveEnd I mean we don't really get like a head on shot of it in the movie, but looking at the merch for it they're kinda long. And then there's most of the ones in the second movie...

Probably Clampdown, but if you are a BW fan then the answer switches.

I's crazy that I didn't notice just how much it was like the RID01 Prowl till I had it in hand.

Glad so many people liked that bit.

Why do you have two of them, and how did that happen to the arms. Sorry to hear about that.

@@PerspectiveEnd I got one and the arm kept falling off for no reason, so I bought a second one but the same thing happened

I've been told it's based on a tooling mistake by Takara.

Understandable, if I didn't like the head so much I'd not be for it. Or you could just paint the beak. Yeah, it's funny how it's better as not G1 Blurr. It is an alright repaint yes. I think cause they just did Nightbird. Why did they need to come first? What's the order matter? That is something I hadn't considered. I was thinking of how I'd change his window to be purple, The colors are phenomenal, but the hips need a change.

My wild/dumb guess on why that’s the case for the US release: Hasbro went “Hey, we got to save on some cash by not making a new show & toyline by just dubbing & localizing one. Why not use the extra cash on retooling?”. Or something like that.

@@kaylemathewcomendador6964 actually it's because the idea for 'transtech' (the sequel series to beast machines) fell through and they needed something to fill the gap)

That moment when Takara are the lazy ones and not Hasbro.

It does happen occasionally. You ever seen prime Arms micron unicron?

Glad you are enjoying both. Interesting. Well I guess I'm not crazy unless your's eyes has that flaw too.

And then if they wanted to do something creative throw an optimus primal repainted as crumplezone in a boxset to go with ransack, as a reference to the botcon figure of primal that was made from crumplezones original toy.

Are you saying that Brave isn't good? I've never heard someone make that claim. I haven't seen it so I don't know.

@@PerspectiveEnd nooo god no just that by virtue of being a decent brave-type anime galaxy force is automatically better than some of the more mediocre shows we've gotten since. Like the armada dub and energon/super link are hot garbage but galaxy force is this nice cheesy anime that really focuses on the mecha/scifi aspect of transformers. Think it was the piece of media that introduced the concept of cybertronian colony worlds which was later used to even better effect in IDW

I get your opinions in your video, I guess I just mess with it tbh. However as soon as I put Terrasor in beast mode I actually returned him and am better for it

I mean dinobot is one of the one's I'm choosing to keep, it's good, it's just the colors are a little awkward. And maybe it's just my love of the original figure that's holding me back on this, because it's not a sufficient replacement for my childhood.

Hey yo!!! Update, I was just at target and found the terrorsaur at target. It was on clearance as they make room for the new line. Got him for $12 and that figure at a core price is so so so so so much more and forgiving to the $25 regular price. What is awesome was this was my final piece to the Beast Wars collection having Dragon Megs as well!!! So I’m super satisfied and got a Waspinator for $15 at a huge yard sale new so caller me happy to complete the collection 😊😂

What's the gag you got for Blurr? Or is it just your reviews in general?

Well, I just have the figure I'm reviewing shot him or have their foot on him because he came out of the box with the worst hips I have. But I do from time to time just throw him at the end of shorts

How do you like Bulkhead?

@@PerspectiveEnd i think he’s great! he’s a very smart figure, but i do think two little things could be improved: 1) the shoulders and elbows are juuuust a little too tight for my liking 2) the cab chest doesn’t seem to plug in very solid. it feels like it just mushes into place other than that he is wonderful, and as someone who loves animated and likes prime it’s super cool to finally get a figure of bulkhead!

I feel like both work.

I'm not sure I understand how you can push a ball forward in a circle, that's some 4rth dimensional geometry there.

@@PerspectiveEnd ik it's very strange but that's what happened with mine I just popped the head off to get a closer look I it gets in stuck in the mouth plate section there's a bit of space for it to fit in front of the ball joint bit it's very strange

@@PerspectiveEnd also sorry for being late to reply I never got any notification I can send pictures on Instagram or twitter something if you want

I guess some of these do count as that yeah.

Yeah, I understand why everyone who's not me feels that way.

Man that sucks, Sorry to hear that, and thats in the full faced box, not one that has the danger window.

What makes you want clampdown?

well it's easy to animate and also I saw if you have five and iron works you can make a combiner and I will see if I could find the picture

also I think the mold is fun to mess around with

Delicious.

That was a great Dad Joke. Yeah Burn out is surprisingly good. And I think you will have a lot of Shots at Hauler as he's not selling great.

@@PerspectiveEnd Cosmos is the only one I've never seen. I was able to order him for not too much more than the retail price. I saw Override one time. All the other ones are shelf-warming.

Yeah getting the original was basically impossible.

@@PerspectiveEnd I was going to buy the original Kingdom one, but I noticed that Legacy Kickback was out, and I wasted my money.

Do you plan them to be Cons or Bots?

@@PerspectiveEnd yes? Factions don't matter much to me.

How does spelling his name backwards fix his face? Apparently they also appeared on Scourges shoulders when he took control of Fort Max for a Scene.

@@PerspectiveEnd I think he meant spell it like Holler instead of Hauler Cause he’s hollering

I haven't actually done that yet. It's too late to return him now, but I basically put him in my display in Vehicle mode after this, and haven't gotten back to him.

@@PerspectiveEnd ok

But Laser Prime is already cool. I take no issue with you doing this every time. Gender Confused who though, because Gender Confused Optimus Skids also makes sense.

@@PerspectiveEnd gender confused road rocket, probably should’ve made that clearer

I understand why you are gunning for that, but for a non character like her and Skidz a Chug figure does me good.

@@PerspectiveEnd true. But that rule of mine isnt always be the case tho. I always buy a prime, a megs, and bee for some reason. I have two shelves for two characters - arcee and soundwave. Soundwave is my favorite character. Oddly I have a lot of arcee figures. Those two have the most figures in my collection.

NIIIIIIIIIIICE!!! Congrats dude! Happy you got that for such a good price. It's a real fun figure.

That wasn't Revealed yesterday? I've known about it for like over a month now. I first heard about it on August 9th. Anyways, it's going to be good, that's all I gotta say right now.

In what way does that effect QC.

@@PerspectiveEnd I always figured if enough complained at the boxing stage they used to catch some issues. I never had a figure break out of the box for 20 years until they started packing in bot mode.

But why didn't they have autobot badges?

@@PerspectiveEnd Because their were reformatted autobots turned decepticons, so that's why

But why would you do that. What makes Hauler special is the fan connection to the Constructions.

High on what specifically?

Glad to hear you are enjoying yours, and that it's better than mine.

One is scheduled for soon.

Like I said the base mold is a fun one, and he's got a better color scheme.

@@PerspectiveEnd Not really sure how to reply other than thanks for responding.

Thank you very much! Yeah, honestly this is getting more ridiculous than ER, though thankfully the exclusives have all been to the largest retail chains. I don't know what Blurr mod you are talking about.

@@PerspectiveEnd you can find the mod in the customs section of tfw2005

Apparently it's based on the fact that there was a Takara Release where they just didn't bother changing the tooling for some embossed badges.

Sometimes maybe. It wont necessarily HAVE to be a robot though.

What do you mean Arcee Baggage? I was Fatigued after Siege Red Alert. He does have some Mad Max Energy even if the Paint would all be peeled off in Mad Max. That's a Strange Rivalry.

Glad to hear this version didn't put you off it. Burn out does look way cooler. And hey, glad to hear that you are enjoying Roadrocket more than me.

Oh I know right. It's fucking Awful. Every Graphic Design Bone in my body is screaming when I look at that.

Warpath. I always love Warpath. Cause my favorite color is red. And I love built in cannons and tanks. The helmet is awesome too. I'm like a Char Aznable in terms of robot color preferences. If it's red, it'll look like one of the best things in the world. And the IDW version captures everything I love about Gundams. The skirts, the angular chest, the square-like shoulder pads, and the head is like the ultimate warrior of heads, which still kinda look like a Gundam design, with the eyes inside a helmet stuff. I love the proportions, it makes him look hefty strong and nimble at the same time. If there's gonna be an IDW toyline and Warpath's a Deluxe, I'm gonna pick this up in no time.

Probably Cyclonus. Skeleton Samurai done well and not like Bludgeon hell yeah. Then again I also like Base Form lower Jaw Missing Cultist Bludgeon too. I mean all the Alex Milne designs rule.

Why are so many people calling it Black Convoy?

@@PerspectiveEnd the boxes hasbro shipped it in and the price tag both say Black Convoy, not Scourge

Will that black out the windows? Thanks for the tip by the way.

@@PerspectiveEnd I mean yeah I guess but honestly hot take maybe but I prefer painted windows

This is where I know road rocket from. cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/770081476460937260/1018808984481841213/unknown.png

Yeah I see why people care about Scourge, he both looks cool and he is the only Nemesis to be his own thing. I want them to roll too. I'm Ok with repaints given the circumstance.

Maybe sell him. Maybe return him.

Velocitron Boogalooza.

I was not planning on that no. I'm having a hard enough time remembering to do WTB Legacy.

Yeah a Voyager Scaled figure is taller than a MP Scaled one by leg alone. And yep... That's what that shit is called.

I don't know how it can make it look more sleek. It looks unbalanced. Like a guy on stilts.
