A quick look back at 2 invaluable transformers collectibles and, at the same time, 2 of the worst g1 toys EVER.
Beautiful model, I find it interesting how it emulates the Ligier JS11
I’m surprised that fact that he never mentioned about the waste snapping in half
Awesome! Transformers G1 decepticons thundercraker
you couldn't rotate your phone
he's a part of what was known in japan as the headmaster juinios. Not sure if the moniker went stateside. I think fanshobby has an update of him.
The G1 toy was terrible but as for Rodimus I always liked him more than Optimus. Rodimus was my Prime that movie was my introduction to Transformers. Hell I even like Ultra Magnus more than Optimus. No malice but Optimus just wasn’t my guy.
Loved the vid
The hot rod is cool, and it got me to thinking. I'm a bit older than you, so I had both SSTs and SSPs. In particular, I had the SSP Evel Knievel Stunt Stadium, a Christmas present in 1974. Do you have any of SSPs or SSTs?
NGL I miss u being on Tik Tok.
I got two of studio series Gnaw
You forgot his sub-tiddy stripes
❤
Is transformation reminds me of sunstreaker a little bit
That’s cool, I remembered my dad had something exactly like that but I think the name was streaker
I have yet to see this figure out anywhere near me
The Powercon set has the repainted Mystic Armor
Actually most of the transformers toys usually had a metallic sticker sheet that you would have to put on I mean I can search it up and tell you personally but I know you don't want to give some information so I could do that I will reply to this comment to see if you are right
You were right but fun fact if you didn't know I mean most of the time they had to use a metallic color of sticker sheet of the saturated printed sticker sheet because of the wax coating on the actual sticker sheet it made it more shiny
Galaxy warriors
Is he part of masters of the universe?
@@Dew2u he is! He featured on the original filmation cartoon as well as the newer revelation cartoon on Netflix
What would I look up if I wanted to find these figures?
@@venomshame4012 masters of the universe origins Roboto. The taller version you’d just look up revelation Roboto
@@retrospectia thanks I didn't know it was heman, I really like the visor, big Robocop vibes
G1 toys went downhill in season 3
that is soo cool
Have the transformers him and hit rod 1985<>1986
Its actually inspired by a actual truck. And i guess i am the only guy in the world who like this character.
Na I loved Rodamus (can’t be bothered to see if I spelled his name correctly) his arc was really interesting.
I agree with you 100%
I ended up finding the 86 Series HotRod and I'm fine with that. I'm not interested in " Rodimus "
I remember this from tiky toky. It's nice to smile for a moment.
He was released in 86 but was planned to be released in 85 but pushed back.
Watched a ton of G1 as a little kid and yeah, Reflector was prevalent in season 1. Interesting that in the cartoon, Reflector always a sort of hive mind, and they/he would always talk in unison, often moving as one. The only distinction between the sub-units was that Viewfinder (though they're never referred to in the cartoon by their individual names) had the closed aperture in the center of his chest. Aside from that, the three were perfectly identical
Honestly I just go to bigbadtoystore the vast majority of the time!
I gotta ask where you order from to get your figures sooner than I can lol
P
would love to see more of these mirco sets it was something I missed out on growing up had a ton of the Star Wars figures
Tesarus was right, his feet are ridiculously big
When the Duocons came out, my older brother got Flywheels - the jet/tank combo - while I got Battletrap - the helicopter/truck duo. I thought Flywheels was so much cooler than Battletrap. I was rather jealous, so much that when Siege released an updated version of Flywheels some 20 years later, I snatched it up immediately.
Mine arrived damaged kinda pissed about that, looks like FedEX dropped a box on it right in the middle
I was around 6 or 7 when I got him, absolutely adored the Jet part for whatever reason. Was one of those toys that I carried everywhere with me. Lost it eventually and only had the tank half after that. Say, you didn't grow up in Ontario did you? lol
Newly acquired this Christmas with 10 Gobots!! 😃
I agree with you about the Vortex mask seeming a bit out of place on him. I actually found out years ago (by accident) that it happens to look GREAT on the 2nd Hondo MacLean (the yellow and purple one that came with Hurricane). Worth checking out if you get a sec.
I agree that he's nothing spectacular with regard to his transformation, but I've always loved the color scheme on this guy.
Is there anything that ISN'T a Mattel Creations exclusive now?
Right?
Your cool
The fingerprint is definitely on every example I've ever seen...and it's definitely weird and baffling. Hopefully, Stoneheart will end up being the one you're looking for (because the next most likely candidate will be Spearhead, and he is NOT cheap). Good quickie review.
How did Grimlock get into this toy line 💀
Nice review man
Objectively speaking, Dirge is probably the most forgettable of the seekers. However, he'll always be a favorite of mine strictly because he's the one seeker I had as a kid. Sometimes there's just no competing with nostalgia and childhood memories. :) Good to see the old boy getting some attention.
Early
You might be thinking of Sticks 'n Stones (the two-headed guy). He can sometimes look mostly black in pictures, but he actually uses a swirl of green and black plastic. Plus, he's got two heads...so you can't go wrong. Stoneheart is more of a blue color up close (he's cool, though). Tombstone's also great. In addition to the serpentine look, I also get sort of an Aliens xenomorph vibe from him.
Actually that was my next thought at this stage of the quest to find him! I love Sticks n’ Stones. But it ended up being Stoneheart. Thanks for watching my videos and the comment!
granite
Love it really good
Hey, I have this figure also, I noticed that when I slightly unplugged his footpegs, he was able to stand in a more dynamic stance.
