My Girlfriend Reviews: Decepticon Nemisis Reveal
really comes across as the perfect balance of g1 throwback and cool ass modern toy
@mopanda81 indeed! It's been quite a year for Optimus with TF One, SS86 and this. Great way to celebrate the 40th anniversary!
as somoene with the tiny ass goldbug I see only upsides with the dr wu
Can not recommend the Dr Wu enough! Be careful though, I only meant to get the Dr Wu Magnus, now I'm addiced. They are soooo good!
I do like the look of Netflix overall, but the colour is definitely off. I think I will end up getting the SS86 version. I appreciate your Batman rating system. Clearly Keaton is the best. 👍
Glad you got the Batman system! I really feel it gives a good representation of each bot. Thanks for watching, and congrats on 150 subscribers, my friend!
I'm all in on 86 Bee, when he ships out September. Not sure when Hasbro lost the trademark, but that would almost explain why he I think only got the chromed over Goldbug release in G2 as I still own that one. While 86 captures G1 easily the best in both modes, I still love the reimagining of him during the original Classics line in how they just made him a compact little hatchback. Many years later the Reactivate Bee felt like a weaponized version of that original concept which I think is also a very good interpretation of the design/character. I can totally see 86 Bee being the next mainline Cliffjumper as he was also in the Penny racer toy car style.
They better do a Cliffjumper remold! The Earthrise version is decent, but I need that penny racer alt mode! Hopefully with a wee spoiler on the back. That would be adorable! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Means a lot, my friend!
Was going to give it 5 stars until you mentioned Tuvix. (Kidding, great stuff as always ;)
Hahaha! He was proper annoying, eh? I couldn't wait till they separated Tuvok and Nelix back out. Up the road, Tuvix, you mad abomination!
Literally just popped this video on whilst I was waiting for Jet from Gladiators to turn up for a spooning sesh. Why must you crush all my hopes and dreams Bob?! Ah well, at least you amuse me with your nonsense. 😂 That is a nice little Magnus. 👍
Happy to amuse, sir! Jet from Gladiators was the best, eh? Folk who say Lightning was better are just deluded. Thanks for watching!
Pretenders with shellllllllllllSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! please 🙏🏻
@hexmachine8263 I'm down! Give me a modern Strangle Hold! His mustache game is so strong.
I don't which is more bonkers, Six Shot or you. 😂😂😂 Brilliant review as always pal. 👍
Hahaha! Glad you're enjoying the madness, sir!
These reviews are legit hilarious, and informative. Definitely bringing the fun back into Transformers collecting. Never got any of the Titans Returns figures, but for a Modern Leader this is definitely one of the better ones. Much better subjectively than the Earthrise Double Dealer which is where I started up again after a very long hiatus. A Legacy Commander of Sixshot would be amazing as he could be budgeted to accommodate improved articulation, and more complete alt modes. Never could get in on any of the Titan Class Transformers for very much the same reasons . I can't even accommodate the collection I'm building up now.
@coffeeinhandproductions3238 thank you, so much! Nice to know these videos are appreciated! I really want that Double Dealer... I love how mental the bird mode looks! I know he had a lot of issues, though. I'd definitely snaffle up a Legacy Commander Sixshot! Titans Return is surprisingly good, so would 100% recommend until then.
Is there anyway that you would do a video on Titans Return Triple Changer Megatron! Because I just got him and after watching this I could listen to that review over and over, plus I would love to hear your humorous take on him!
@@TheSorcererAhrimanahsul I shall try my best to obtain him, my friend! Might be a wee while, but I will review him!
@@bobstransformersreviews9058 hoorah! I honestly figured that you might have had him so no rush I'll stay subscribed and watching Everytime you post one way or the other! So I look forward to that day. And I wish you luck in finding him cheap like I did mine.
Bob! I love your accent one of the reasons I absolutely love listening to your videos, but I got to say this with utmost love and humor brother! When you say six shot it sounds like you're saying "Sex Shop" lmfao 😂😂😂😂
@TheSorcererAhrimanahsul hahaha! I suppose it's like saying Space Ghetto in an American accent sounds like your saying Spice Girl in a Scottish accent...
@@bobstransformersreviews9058 😂😂😂 i could see that lmfao
I don't like the look of this Megatron myself, but the Prime is nice. Rise of the Beasts gave us the best design for Optimus in live action . 👍
Yeah, the Optimus design is pretty perfect! Megatron is sooooo good, though! He's pretty much perfect for a movieverse design. The g1 aesthetic will always be my favourite, but think Concept Megatron truly is a special fella. If SS86 Megatron is half as good, I'll be very happy! Thank you for watching, my friend!
Yup, 😮 I like the Supreme Commander Optimus Prime! Your Narration is bar none the coldest since ice cubes were invented. Some really really funny shit here 😅. Loved it.
Thank you, my friend!
@@bobstransformersreviews9058 absolutely Sir.
Very refreshing to see someone finally let go of the past and acknowledge Megatron will never officially be a gun a gun again. While I get the 80s nostalgia of it my appreciation for Megatron only really began during the G2 era where he was given a transforming alt mode that actually made sense for his character. Heck Galvatron was even cooler in his design with his treaded space death canon mode which was finally done justice with the Kingdom/Legacy release. SS Megatron is a spectacular release and probably the best iteration for a movieverse version however for a G1 release the Earthrise Voyager by Takara is probably the best contender. Ignore the backpack, and with the premium paint bucket head he's I think as good as it will get until they figure out what to do with the SS86 next year. As far as Optimus goes probably will never go for a 3rd party release but Hasbro could already fix a lot of problems if they'd quit budgeting Optimus at a Voyager price point. Or at least that's what I'm hoping for as either AOE or TLK Optimus is getting a Leader release next year.
I can not wait to see what SS86 Megatron looks like! Getting a bit sick of the Siege mold being used again and again. Can't believe we're also getting a SS86 Galvatron, as the Kingdom/Legacy one is already smashing. Really hope future Optimi have more budget than SS102 was allocated. It's shite that folk have to go third party for the best version of the figure. Would much rather give my money to Hasbro, but the upgades and accessories with Supreme Commander were just too good. As always, thank you for watching! Means a lot!
I love the netflix megs he looks so sinister way more than that earthrise megs who i Really dont care for
It's just that headsculpt, eh? Baffling why they changed it for Earthrise.
Im a sad grown man lol
🤣 me too, my friend!
I’ll be ready, whenever you need me!
Gears is a certified banger. He is only my second pick up from United after Chase. I am very excited to get my hands on Filch later in the year. 👍
Filch does look great! Good reuse of the Airazor mold. I really want the pack with Squeeze-Play, so I can at least experience the Chase mold with that Cliffjumper. Could really do without the other 2 bots, though.... Thank you for watching, as always, sir!
I'm in about the same boat as far as United goes. Only got Wingblade from Wave one, Chromia from Wave 2 and I'm not even a Cyberverse fan. Should be getting Sandstorm, and Gears shortly as I think both are great for being updated iterations. Hasbro definitely looks to have pulled out all the stops with Gears, and can't wait to pair him up with SS Brawn, Ironhide, and Ratchet. Also have Magnatron on preorder, and though I know next to nothing about him, he is a fairly articulate, large figure, and Commander Class mostly always delivers. As for future figs Bee is a maybe, Springer a definite as I only have the T30, and of course 86 Prime which I too feel may be the definitive and last I'll ever need to own.
Magmatron is soooo tempting. He looks awesome! That price tag is steep, though. I'm also super sold on SS86 Springer. I've got the wreck and rule version, but I hate his deco. Looking forward to the upgrade! Thank you for watching, sir! Really hope you enjoy Gears as much as I do.
Missing link Prime does look good, but on reflection I decided to save my money instead. If they do a Sideswipe I will not be able to resist.
Oooh! I'd snaffle that right up! I'm pretty sold on any Missing Link fellas. The Bumblebee and Cliffjumper look awesome.
G1 Prime is actually still a banger of a toy. There's a lot of things he CAN'T do, but what he does do he still does very well. He's a decent, well detailed truck with rubber tyres, he's a pretty looking robot with some of the best articulation in G1, an agreeable amount of die cast that hinders nothing and helps keep him balanced and his core feature of transformation is a piece of piss even if you're three. He's actually a far better toy than some of the tat that Hasbro is trying to pass off as Prime in 2024. If you can get him at a decent price instead of collector prices, he'd absolutely still be one of the best toys you could give a kid.
Agreed! G1 Optimus will always be truly iconic, especially if you had him as a child. Missing Link is somewhat of a novelty, but it truly seems like it was made just for me. It does everything I wished my Optimus could do when I was a wee guy. I don't think this means that Missing Link Prime will take the place of G1 Prime for collectors, the original will always be king. For me though, Missing Link Prime is now my favourite bot in my collection. I love him!
Oh wow, that editing and humor, Good thing I'm not one to be easily offended. Missing Link Prime is a super cool idea, and delivers just about everything you'd want from the original. While the execution is great I'm still pretty good with the Commemorative release as I never owned the original growing up and the closest I had up to that point was the G2 release with the black trailer, and enormous guns on the side which I still think is awesome. Totally get the rant about the trailers. The Leader class trailers suck, and are undersized even compared to the G1 iteration. The biggest offender though is Commander Class Hot Rod which is a fantastic Leader Class figure on his own, but his trailer is literally next to useless unless you have the space to display it in assault mode. With 86 Commander Class Prime happening I hope at the very least they can make a proportionately scaled trailer so it looks good in alt mode.
Thanks for watching! 100% agree about Rodimus. I liked the idea of the Prime Wars one, where Hotrod combines with the trailer to make Rodimus. The execution was a bit ropey, though. G1 Prime is still awesome. He'll always be an absolute icon. Missing Link was totally a childhood dream come true for me. I know not everyone will have the same experience, but it's as if he was made just for me. 100% think he's my favourite in my collection. Love him like a son.
I enjoy your vidoes, your humor is something I really appreciate. Lord Prime would be proud !!! So glad they added the rub signs on these Missing Link figures. If they don't do a Megatron maybe a Missing Link Shockwave could get a chance.
I'll take any Missing Link guys! Did you see Bumblebee and Cliffjumper were leaked? I'm snaffling them up as soon as I get a chance! Would love a Missing Link Shockwave!
@@bobstransformersreviews9058 I did, I'm really interested to see more about them. It was a great idea to mix the nostalgia of the originals with better articulation. Brings back member-berries
@@EddieNova those moreish member-berries! That's what it's all about!
This schtick is what I'm here for! Glad i found your channel!
Yaaaaas! Thank you! I'll keep them coming!
Ha! Nice! And thanks for the dog pics
Just great! subscribed
Thank you for watching!
Why do you sound so damn stupid?
I love the aspect of a deception and autobot who are still best friends even on different sides of war
Yeah, it's nice, innit? Would love to see more adventures of Octane and Sandstorm! That'd surely make a good comic run at least! Either that or a sitcom where they live in the same house with hilariously consequences.
Fantastic content, I really think this is the best Transformers related vids on CZcams!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Really don't know about the best on CZcams... I'm just hoping one day, I can share the TF Nation hot tub with Gavin from TRDQ!
I looked at this notification, and immediately knew this was gonna be awesome. You put out memorable, and relatable Transformer videos. That Starscream ghost is a brilliant idea. Sandstorm is on my must have list.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I heartily recommend Sandstorm. Just don't expect too much from that dune buggy mode....
Despite unpopular opinion really enjoyed Transformers Season3. I like how it went from episodic villain quests to peak Space opera with an actual narrative. Takara release of Octane looks so much better than the domestic which I've only experienced secondhand. Really hope to see this guy get the Leader treatment in the next year or two. While Legacy Blitzwing is still my favorite recent triple changer and probably the best iteration of the character we've seen, Sandstorm is an honest attempt though not near as refined. Still excited to get this guy in the collection come June or whenever he ships. Looks like loads of fun, and pretty solid for what he is given the LC budget.
I know, right! It's always season 3 I go back to. Episodes like Grimlocks New Brain, The Dweller in the Depths and The Killing Jar are just so rewatchable. Agreed about Blitzwing. Really don't know why so many folk don't like that figure. His jet mode is a thousand times better than the new concept Megatron! Thanks for watching!
Nice review as always bud. Snapdragon definitely looks like the better of the two. 👍
I know objectively that Apeface is pretty poor. The plastic and jet mode are awful. That damn monkey mode though.... I can't help but love it! Thanks for watching, as always, sir!
The reviews are great mate, so funny😂😂
Why, thank you!
Snapdragon was my favorite Transformers figure growing up. Most of the time I got rip off transformers.
I have very fond memories of him too, my friend! Definitely one of the top tier G1 bots!
I love how you Roast transformers and the collectors in most of your videos. 😂
If you can't roast what you love, what can you! Thank you for watching!
@@bobstransformersreviews9058 hahaha 🤣 right?
Always a fan of the introductory lore in these vids. Never experienced Apeface, but my younger brother had a secondhand complete G1 Snapdragon which was pretty fun to mess around with. Headmaster gimmick was pretty brilliant for the day. Always liked how it raised the character stats when plugged into the neck. Several years ago a nephew found Earthrise Snapdragon in a thrift store mostly complete. While I think the plastic quality and engineering has gotten much better with modern figures it was still very faithful to the original design, and all three modes worked out pretty well/ Hasbro could do wonders with these guys at a Leader price point though right now I really want to see a Leader Class Octane as he needs a definite update.
Thank you for the kind words! You actually just guessed the next review.... gonna be Octane!
Dread Tidings. Sometimes my favourite part of the comic
Me too. Still gutted my letters never got answered in the comic. Given my young age and atrocious penmanship, I don't blame them though!
Voice is weird Accent is cool. But gibber gabbers to much
What do you mean gibber gabbers too much! That's my whole thing! I'm 42, and rapidly losing my cognitive abilities. All I have left is talking rubbish about Transformers, like an old man shouting at clouds. Thanks for watching!
I 100% agree, I'd buy ALL of these figures if they were made, Great video!
Thank you so much!
You could probably make a decent Emirate Xaaron by repainting a High Grade Gundam Ez-8 or Ez-SR (they're the same core kit but the Ez-SR has some extra customization parts.) You'd have to 3D print the head, though, since there aren't many Gundam kits (or Gundam-compatible kits like the 30 Minutes Missions line) with faces.
6:07 - Three? What about: Outback, Swerve, and Tailgate? Sure, Tailgate is a repaint of Windcharger, so probably good there if Windcharger gets one, and we should get a Swerve soon (we hope). But Brawn was released in 2023 and still not Outback, so it's not guaranteed. - not even going to go into the Cosmos fiasco. But still hoping Hasbro issues a re-release. And there there are others like Smallfoot, Badboy, Pathfinder, Treds, Rest-Q, Rook, Tapout, and Glyph. We did get a Bug Bite and Road Ranger - so I see no reason why we can't get the others.
ahhh u c~#t, you've just made me drop over 90 notes on 86 UM. Wasn't happy with the Siege version.
Dread tidings was a poor man's "Sound Waves". Hell, even "Grim Grams" was more entertaining. I do agree though, a Dreadwing set is absolutely needed.
Dreadwind and Blackwing are just the best decepti-dude goon types, like alternate universe seekers. Brilliant. Wish i wasnt 11 during PotP & was into transformers collecting since those fuckers cost just a bit too much for deluxes.
I managed to get mine off Ebay for 15 bucks each! Didn't start collecting till the first wave of Legacy! I've just made many irresponsible financial decisions.... hahaha! Thanks for watching!
I would like to see a decent Nightbeat, was my fave character in the comics, have Matrix Quest in singles, one of my fave rereads
"Remember DreadTidings?" The letter's page where I had one, possibly two, letters published..? (They sent me two Protectobot Grooves, so I probably had one published after I stopped reading.) I barely recall it But only because I had a letter published in Soundwaves.
100% with you on Poweglide. Definitely needs a deluxe upgrade. The Combiner Wars figure is still the most accurate depiction of him we have, but it's sooooo thin and flimsy, and pieces keep falling off.
All I'm saying is if Legacy BeachComber can come with a Paradise parakeet , then A deluxe PowerGlide should be able to come with a little Astoria. They seem to be working their way through all the minibots , so I also can't wait for a deluxe Wind Charger at some point.
Hasbro doesn't care to finish the G1 teams as they stated. The younger crowd cried too much that everything was G1... now we'll die before we can complete our collections. They should have finished the G1 shows then moved on to the younger folks who are now coming into money and nostalgia...
There's always time! I never thought we'd see Tarn or Jhiaxus in the mainline. Plus we never actually finish our collections, eh? That's just something we tell our partners, so they don't get all angry when you buy yet another obscure Transformer. "Just completing the collection, dear! Only a few more to go!".
