Animated Seekers REALLY Need A Good Toy | #transformers Animated Voyager Starscream/Skywarp Review - Zábava
The og animated theme is such a jam. The one tf show that intro I would never skip
I watch the G1 intro every time
I agree with both of you, and I’ll never skip the beast wars intro.
@@linusfornow facts bro that one is also a jam but imo it's definitely in this order
1 animated
2 season 1 G1
3 beast wars
For me it’s probably
Animated
Beast Wars S3 (all of them are good but something about that version of it sticks out to me)
G1 S2 probably
But there are other good ones also.
The prime theme is heavenly.
Am I the only person who saw animated lugnut this morning from him, and the title was Lug deez Nuts, or am i tripping
The whole animated toy line is very impressive. A couple of choices in the figure may vary but still a great toyline
In fact Swindle is probably the worst there ever is, because his joints are clear plastic and clear plastic breaks easily
4:46 he’s doing the Smooth Criminal lean
Watching him fall like Peter Griffin really made my day thank you
My animated Bumblebee was my first transformer, gifted by my dad after we watched Revenge Of The Fallen in theaters. It would constantly break so much that I would avoid any toy that didn't come from the movieverse assuming they were poor quality.
*To this day my collection is entirely exclusively Bayverse, minus the animated Bumblebee in shambles being crushed by SS Blackout lmao*
I have an animated bumblebee, the thing got lost in a box for years and tossed around before being unearthed about 5 years ago. Nothing's broken- shoulders are loose though
I actually got this guy earlier this year, and mine hold’s together really well. Nothing is really loose or falls off, unlike the starscream version I got after enjoying the mold so much (granted the starscream I got was particularly bad. the fingers were glued on the wrong hands, and stuff was broken, all of which wasn’t advertised on eBay at all)
SKYWARP! I'm praying for a new animated seeker model, and this one looks nice, but I just need a voyager skywarp for my collection
This was my first ever Decepticon and for like a third of my life my ONLY Decepticon!
I didn’t know what the seekers was so I always saw him as Starscream bc I just thought Jet Decepticon = Starscream
I rlly hope for a good version in Legacy as Animated Starscream design is my favorite Starscream ever along with Bay Starscream and Armada Starscream
The first and only Transformer I bought for years was Blast Off was because I saw him in a shop and he reminded me of Starscream from Transformers Prime at the time. I somehow remembered Starscream but nothing else from the show which I had previously watched years before. The last four or so years I've been properly into Transformers though. But I thought Blast Off was close enough to Starscream because he turned into a jet and wasn't very bulky and was a decepticon. I still really like that figure because of how simple yet effective the transformation was. Most figures these days are quite complicated and take a while yet this Blast Off was so quick but looked great in both modes. I never got the other Combaticons and because we are getting new figures in this Prime line I probably won't ever get the CW versions.
Great figure/ mould. Unreal to animated with, was my MOST WANTED FIGURE as a kid growing up and I still love it to bits! Unlucky you got a crappy copy 😯
I had this mold brand new well over a decade ago. The Hasbro Starscream ver iirc. Most of those loose joints and parts issues were already there so I don't think that's just the age of the plastic though that probably didn't help either. The thigh bends and arms had the most problems for me.
Also those wing bits at the back, I liked to partsform them off and flip them flush on his back. Keeps them more secure imo.
Yea the seeker mould isn’t the best but the activator version is amazing. As someone who has bought starscream, sunstorm and skywarp, this mould has massive degradation, my skywarp has a lot of problems mainly fingers falling off and sunstorm has a little bit of that but starscream is really nice, I find that his tolerances are a lot better so if you want a good representation of this mould I’d suggest him
One of my friends bought Starscream when we first came out. After the second week of opening it, the figure started flopping about and those panels on the back would CONSTANTLY FALL OFF WITH THE FINGERS.
Can confirm, my sealed takara version sunstorm I recently got had all the problems you mentioned in the video, asymmetric toe, loose joint, and that piece of flap that likes to come off.
I actually have this figure, I bought it sealed too. And all of the problems you mentioned are the exact same on my copy. Even down to the loose thighs and the fact that they come off easily
This video is very informative. Ordered myself a damaged Animated Starscream for making custom figures, and I'll be using this video as a reference for making replacement parts. After watching this review, I don't feel bad in the slightest about my plans to make said figure unrecognizable while customizing it.
I had a Starscream variant years ago. One of my favorite figures I ever had
As for the lighting equipment, I guess you can add some support from the ceiling of your room or re work it so that the lighting equipment is mounted on the ceiling. Just a thought 🙂
I can’t wait for the Animated Megatron vid.
I’ve been expanding my Animated collection and picked him and Starscream up still new in box. I’ve always been curious about opening them and playing with them but now…I think I’ll just leave them sealed
This video explains why I see so many used copies of animated Starscream missing his hands.
Another great video! Have you played the new resurgence map on warzone 2 yet
I got both Skywarp and Sunstorm brand new at release and i had issues with both of them out the box. This mold was easily one of the most brittle I’ve ever owned. Like you said, visually fantastic but the mold has much to be desired
I had the Activator as a kid. Never thought that I'd be glad I missed out on the full sized one...
I was going to buy this toy at the convention
Back in December I came across the Sunstorm version at a consignment store in a nearby town. His head and some fingers were missing, and maybe some panels for the jet mode, it was awesome to see that particular figure in person, but of course I didn't buy him.
Another reason we need reissues for animated! A lot of these toys have not withstood the test of time.
Hope they choose to do starscream In legacy Bc he NEEDS a new figure
It’s crazy how this thing has that many problems when it was sealed
This is my absolute favorite Transformers animated action figure of all time I love skywarp he's my favorite because of the coloration and Thundercracker too.
Bro you just unlocked a hidden memory of this toy.
I remember the day I got Skywarp. It was at a mall and I simply could not contain myself while my mother made a stop at some shoe store. I unboxed him and immediately lost one of his tail fins and lord only knows where it disappeared to when it fell. I still wasn't very content with the figure, but it was Skywarp so I loved him regardless.
When I went to get my Animated Skywarp at Toys R Us back in the day, One of them had one of it's fingers loose in the package, so I went for the other one where upon opening it, it's arm came off ^^; But fortunately I could peg it back in. Wasn't bad, but I could tell the QC on him was lower compared to the Starscream release. Rather surprised with how bad your one is out of the box.
i remember my skywarp had a multitude of problems as well. i ended up drilling a hole through the finger piece and just putting a pin in there to stop them from falling out.
As others have said, the activators animated seeker mode is amazing. I just picked a starscream and love it
Dude I was literally vibing to the animated theme but then he just fell over and I busted out laughing
I remember having the Animated Starscream toy. Sold it so many years ago.
That optimus you said to get it got the for free from a charity shop as it head was missing I just keep it in truck mode. ( I offered to.still pay for it they just said take it or we'll throw it in the bin so yh)
Glad I stuck with the Activators version back in the day. Everyone was singing this mould's praises when it came out, but I didn't like the way the wings sat in robot mode. Looks like it had more problems than that and it was just another case of people treating whatever they just spent money on as the best thing ever. Tale as old as time.
The Activator was cool, though. Basic flip-changer transformation, but for a figure as small and cheap as that one was that's all you need.
can you do a colection review? show all the tf from all lines that you have and maybe show your room
I have done that before. But right now it's a mess and I have 3 shelves to still put up
@@ThatToyGuy well i hope to see it one day
I bought this thing brand new in 2009 and I can confirm it was a fragile mess back then too. It’s not deteriorating as much as it had mold degradation after starscream. Never had him so no idea if that version is any better
Seeing the issues reminds me of an Animated Blitzwing I had as a kid. Loved him but his arm peg hole was screwed up so his arm was unable to be attached. I just pretended he lost it for the most part.
Fun fact: thundercracker was supposed to have a toy but before it could be released worldwide animated was cancelled, even animated was cancelled some thundercracker toys managed to reach some store shelves
You should look for the old Transformers Animated Activators they had. I used to have like 4 or 5 of them and they were great little figures
I refuse to believe this video is already two months old. Why is time moving so fast
That’s a damn fine jet mode.
Got an Animated Sunstorm recently and I have the SAME problem with those back panels, the same one likes to pop off at the slightest touch
Actually I actually had one of these starscreen Clones sunstorm when I was a kid and it came with a little ratchet's toy. And I don't remember a lot about it but I do remember that I lost all the fingers on all of the hands lost a blaster effect parts and it was just an overall mess. I don't have it anymore but I do have the little ratchets that it came with.
i had the starscream version of the mold, I bought it new and the truth is that I don't have any problem, except for the automorph which is really screwed up
Another annoying thing about this mold is knowing that Thundercracker made it to the factory sample stage but was never produced. Peaugh has a review of a stolen factory copy of Animated Thundercracker and I'm so mad I didn't play the stolen toys from Ebay game in those days.
If you don't already have Shockwave, get him, he's amazing. There's the blue and also the purple variant.
The grey one is the best look, thou Its not Shockwave, its Long Arm Prime!!!
Who was secertly Shockwave all along!!
@@superomegaprimemk2 Exactly! That was a cool twist. I do like the purple variant, was much more accurate to the original. But in the show I think he sported those colours in season 3
I have shockwave, but he's missing a lot of parts due to his age. I do plan on getting one some day I'm just waiting for the right price
@@ThatToyGuy Mine never been in storage and well looked after, he one of my all time favourte figures, thou its partly down to that twist in the show but the toy is awesome, one of the VERY best if not THE best animated produced, I mean in about a minute you can change the whole robot mode look and you would think its a completely different characer, of course, one thing, I note, I think he might of been the first TF to have a faction system that spins between the two factions, the only other figure I can think of that does that is Seige Jetfire!!
@@ThatToyGuy I got a complete one, at Toy Traders in Langley BC, Canada. This guy came in and had the ENTIRE TFA collection and sold it to them. Those animated figures are out there, but they're so hard to find.
I find it ironic how bros shaped like the cyclonus jet.
he stands like hes about to ask Annie if shes ok
I prefer the Combiner Wars Skywarp it just feels like an actual Seeker, no comments from the Peanut Gallery.
I had the starscream as a kid, and yes. He fell apart out of the box lol
The feet remind me of Zentradi Battle pods (The bad guys from Robotech The Macross saga.)
I’d be happy as a pig in slop if we got a Legacy Animated Slipstream.
Such a shame, because I actually own this mold of the figure. And I have a soft spot for it. It does have flaws, and accuracy issues, such as the null rays not being in a correct position, those weird things on the arms, and the main issue on Starscream (and all other TFA Starscream toys) is the paint. He's not red, or is he blue. He's gray and magenta. And that's a shame, because Animated has my all time favorite Starscream design/personality and everything. He deserves a new toy. Fingers cross for either Legacy, or if Studio Series would tackle Animated (there is an interview about moving both Animated and Prime to Studio Series for better accurate toys, it's not confirmed yet).
Also, yes I still own the Animated Starscream mold, and he is meant to be my mascot of all Transformers Toys. I do recommend the Activators figure more, since it's better handled (I used to own the Thundercracker, but I sadly lost him). There's only 4 from the show that got that toyline (Skywarp and Ramjet are Takara exclusives), and Dirge is a random addition
I seek a purpose in life
What's up king?
why arent more figures done in that texture, it looks so good
I have the black and gold bumblebee deluxe, I wanna say I also have the rockets but the paint is a little scratched
It's like one PAIN after another. I feel for ya dude.
I just got the elite guard bumble bee and lock down
I got this and Starscream back in the day, at the time I was hoping for a Thundercracker, but they never did that, maybe if they had contuined animated for another year they might of given us Thundercracker and my copy of Skywarp does have the back panels falling off and ocasonally the hand, thou currently my animated figures are off in a storage box, at times the line was a big of a mixed bag, thou two of leader classes were pretty awesome, I skipped on the Bulkhead one because I was intersted in scale some what and a Bulkhead with his wrecking ball, plus the leader wasn't that appealing to me!
Also, I was laughing during this video at the fails, I know I shouldn't but I couldn't help myself
used to have this mold, it... yeah
Can confirm, my starscream is a shell of his former self, everything excluding the legs, arms, main wings and head has fallen off and been lost to time, even the damn fingers😭
I hope we get a new one too I just don’t like the proportions on this figure the shoulders are a bit too low and the wings are a bit too high up
I think they might try give it a tackle in legacy
Sorry the question but im from Portugal do you buy these figures on Canadá only or do you buy from other countries and continentes?
I hate to be this guy, but I don’t think you’re folding the landing gear far enough for it to click in. Apply more pressure and it should work
_Black Bumblebee?_ Dare I ask if that one is… _A real crowd pleaser?_
It so much very was almost a good figure, but, has all these weird things that make it just bad. And it's so weird because better joint tolerance, a few extra swivels on the legs and arms, slightly better connections on some of the extra bits.
When it comes to Jet Transformers I really wish Hasbro would take some inspiration from the franchise / company they got Jetfire from. Macross / Robotech which is the original source of the Jetfire mold specializes in Jet Transformers that have zero kibble in both Jet and robot mode simply because they designed the plane first and then find a way to turn it into a robot. Macross has some of the most detailed stunning Jet Transformers with zero kibble and it would be pretty easy to translate one of those Bots into a more animated cartoonish Style
have you ever reviewed studio series dotm shockwave?
Nice
I have the starscream version and I have the opposite problem of where my copy is way to tight
Solution for the back wings: stop dropping hats
there is a good animated seeker toy, it was the activators version, simple af transformation but it was overall a good figure
hope they do animated seekers in legacy
Got mine when it came out and mines still solid, stands straight and doesn’t fall apart :/ the feet do lock and become flat-footed.
Will you ever do titans return fortress Maximus
Legacy would be a semi good opportunity for this
Ironically this toy disserves to hate itself for existing. Must have been more forgiving of the mold back in the day or been a completist, but currently have the Starscream, and Skywarp on display. Aesthetically they look fantastic in the animated lineup, and other than that I won't touch them except for light dusting which is already a chore in itself as both releases have super loose upper leg swivels, and the hands fall off at the slightest touch. The automorph is also one of the worst attributes either can offer. Would be cool to see what Legacy can do with this design, and how it could be improved. Still points for the light piping, functional landing gear, and projectile blasters.
This jet more is a modified and fictional variant of the SU-47 Berkut
It’s not age btw, my animated starscream I bought in 2007 had the same damn problem
I've got the Hasbro Starscream version and the only problems with it are 1 thigh dropping off and the same fin/buttflap piece. Everything else is nice and solid.
Might be a mold degradation thing, might be bad luck with your toy.
Of course Skywarp likes to lean, he's purple.
I got this guy for $35usd sealed, and for that price he’s worth it just to have one of Starscream mould.
updated collection video pls
The “gorilla arms” thing is an unfortunate consequence of the “Animated” style. Give them a strong upper body, and thinner legs. “Prime” style, too, does it with some figures, and of those I have, they also fall over. Thew aficionados, does it count as a “beat down” if it’s not a knockoff, and falls apart on it’s own?!? Haha. I do love the design/colors, though. Best of the seeker colors… Thanks!
I know about all of the problems this figure has, but I think I am biased with liking this figure just because it was one of my favorite figures when I was a kid. To the point where he's missing a LOT of parts but he's still there
tbh as bad as this mold is, the Takara release of Skywarp is beautiful paint-wise
I think you might of gotten a bit of a dud copy dude, I've had a collection of starscream, skywarp and Sunstorm and all of them have held up really well, I'll admit the fingers have always been a problem but I've never had the cockpit fall off like that
Cockpits a my copy thing for sure. But all my friends who have the mould have the same issues I have
For more accuracy, Animated Skywarp should’ve had a scared face on him.
Imagine this figure with GPS lol.
God I just got the sunstorm version of this mold I had no idea how terrible it is like it’s genuinely the worst figure I have in my collection next to ss Ksi boss I wish I watched this video before I purchased I’m so mad lol
There is so much frustration hahahahaha
BRUH, I JUST ordered him last week…
The McDonald toy sweeps I fear
I have this toy but he's missing his head, arms and legs. 💀💀💀
