What do you guys think of this new format for transformations of more intricate third-party figures?
Cool, great videos
It’s pretty great. By the way, Drift isn’t out of scale with that Bee figure. If you’ll recall, Bee was only 16 feet in the first trilogy. He expanded to 18 feet tall in AOE and TLK so that he could lead the new ragtag team without looking super small and weak. This would mean Drift is taller than 2007 Bee by 2 feet and that these figures scale pretty well.
Hot Rod was also 18 feet tall by the way so that other figure is scaled perfectly as well.
I think the figure is just pure black magic amazing and honorable. Can't wait for them to make a crosshairs
I LOVE IT LESS GOO
Hey Prime, I do prefer when you talk us through a transformation. It gives us a heads up on any tricky parts and you point out stuff that could easily be missed. This style was great but I prefer the old style. Keep experimenting tho! 👍
Absolutely beautiful robot mode, and an almost just as good car mode. Unfortunate the helicopter mode had to suffer. Nice review as usual :)
Well actually his helicopter mode isn't even a actual helicopter
I agree with you! & thanks so much!
@@Deathbot884 True, the helicopter mode looks like a lego technic set, rather than actual real life helicopter.
they are but mortal men, the car mode already required the sacrifice of Steve from accounting
The fact that it's even able to turn into a helicopter while keeping the other 2 modes in tact is insane
Now THAT is the definition of a black magic transformation! What an amazing design.
I liked the idea of the AOE/TLK autobots basically taking elements from different human cultures they like and styling themselves after it.
I agree! The third party game just turned the heat UP!
Bugatti is French/German though. So idk if they should’ve used a Bugatti for a samurai themed transformer.
@@GoldAk47 I see Drift like a European who became a samurai.
Just like the Obsidian Samurai, Yasuke (but he's from Africa instead).
@@GoldAk47Italian/French.
Sooo.... he's like William Adams?
I always considered his Heli mode in the movie as more like a big drone anyway, not meant to be manned, so I'm not dissatisfied at all with this transformation. Just as a regular bot-to-car figure, this is spectacular as it is. Great review as always!
Yeah the copter mode is ok for what screen time it had & thanks so much!
I thought it was some sort of Cybertronian alt mode that he just kept considering the robot mode doesn't have much on it suggesting a Helicopter one can consider that he's reformatted himself on the fly as much as being an actual helicopter.
Some thing like this I'd kinda dig is he displayed the kibble in robot mode of what he transformed from and so each time he used a different vehicle mode as his primary his robot mode could shift in appearance too - one can perhaps get that idea from the Hasbro Helicopter Drift toy and the later remould into a Mercedes.
Robot mode... Awesome.
Land vehicle mode... Awesome.
Helicopter mode... well, they tried. Looks more Cybertronian than Earth form to me.
Hey, when doing triple changers, one mode always has to suffer. That is the nature of doing something like this. From what they've achieved, they did supremely well.
The helicopter never looked like any helicopter found on Earth in the movie though.
@@deathemoji no that helicopter doesnt look close to the helicopter mode we seen from the movie. try to slow down at the moment when drift transforms to helicopter and you will see some of his samurai armor parts from his thigh as the side of the helicopter mode.
@@deathemoji bro that depends on the transformer. he can use car and robot parts to form a helicopter so he can fly and he uses it for something important (like when meeting up with optimus and helping bumblebee infiltrate the ksi)
@@deathemoji but still his helicopter is an alien helicopter and not a real world helicopter
@@deathemoji like i said, that helicopter does NOT look as close as the one from the movie. and once again, try to slow down the moment when drift transforms to helicopter and you will see samurai armor on the side of his helicopter bro dont make me repeat it again
Still waiting on a black magic AOE Bumblebee. I know there's still people out there that can pull him off.
The AOE character concept was so cool.
Prime was a knight, Bee was a ninja, Drift a samurai, Crosshairs was a op spy, and Hound was a soldier. Pretty op team if you ask me😂
And pretty underrated movie.
The designer is a genius! What a perfect transformation. And I don't even know how they made the third mode on such a compact model, so nothing to complain, the helicopter mode could be a pure bonus.
It's maddening how detailed this figure is, keep up the great reviews!
Thank you so much!
Surprisingly perfect masterpiece scale given that Bee sized up to 18 feet in AOE instead of remaining 16 feet tall like he was in the first trilogy, meaning Drift is taller than 07 Bee by 2 feet. This truly is the perfect masterpiece AOE Drift figure. A TLK one would be even easier since it wouldn’t need to turn into a helicopter and only come with one sword.
That Hot Rod figure scales perfectly as well by the way. Bee, Hot Rod, and Drift were all 18 feet in TLK.
Oh thanks! My mistake! I always thought drift was smaller because of the Bugatti mode being smaller
This is inaccurate, Drift is 15ft, Bee is 16ft and Rod is 17ft. Bee never sized up, he stayed the height throughout the Bayverse.
@@Superb23 plus lockdown is pretty much the same height as prime, and he's like 25 ft
@@Noahs-Interests lockdown is 24 ft
i wouldn't mind if they actually left it as triple changer with the tlk mercedes alt mode also drift has two swords in tlk when he's meditading in scene
You never cease to impress. The fact that you were able to transform something so complex WITHOUT INSTRUCTIONS speaks volumes to your skill and understanding of Transformers. That’s why you’re who I turn to for reviews. Keep up the amazing work!
Ah thank you so much! 😊
Takara needs to hire these toy designers ASAP.
100%!
Nah, theyll have to work with Hasbro and their ass budget.
@@Tontzar yes exactly. Third party companies don't have a restricted budget to work with. If Hasbro incorporated everything that third party figures do they'd be just as expensive and wouldn't sell
Looks like they’re slowly doing so because the Mpm blackout is so good
naph, theyll gonna blow the price out of proportion
I love these transformation montages. The music is perfect and I hope to see more of this in your future reviews. It’s easier to follow imo
I had to rewind the transformations so many times because I couldn't help but close my eyes and take in that beautiful orchestra composing the sounds of my entire childhood 🫠
This is genuinely the most insanely impressive transforming figure i have seen, period. The Copter mode does take a bit of a hit but just the fact they were able to add it in is impressive and shows the skill of the designers.
That robot mode is superb! Bugatti mode looks sleek and I don’t mind the panel lines. Helicopter mode is ok for a third mode but do any triple changer have 3 amazing modes? If one mode had to suffer I’m glad it was the helicopter. Great review as always Prime! 👍
“At last. There is hope after all.” For a masterpiece drift. I hope Crosshairs is next.
Honestly, die hard transformer fan. I've always been in awe of every single transformer figure (given that it actually transforms and stays together) whether it be normal, triple or a parts former. Great figure all around.
Always coming through with great intro songs and amazing figure reviews🔥🔥 keep it up pvp!
Thank you so much!
Its fantastic IMO and leaps and bounds above ANY Hasbro version of the character! The engineering is so well done to make 3 modes come together. I will be adding this to my collection and great review as always! 👊
Wow! This looks insane! I have to get one. Thanks for the review.
Thanks so much!
That guy is so cool your content is so cool you always brighten up my day and today was the first day of school for me it was kind of bad
Ah wow thank you so much! Sorry to hear about your first day! It was my brothers first day today as well! I hope you settle in well :)
I actually been waiting for this
despite its flaws, it is still an impressive figure. Having only been able to afford Hasbro or Takara versions of Transformers, this figure blows my mind with its transformations. the way they packed away all the car parts in robot mode is impressive. Helicopter is a little disappointing, but it still works. nice one. 👍
Finally!!! A proper review of this beauty
Thanks so much mate! 🙏🏻
I really like the detail that his odd asymmetric forearms transform differently, with the silvery engine looking arm sitting in the center where the engine would in the real car
I’ve been waiting patiently for this one. This is a really cool figure.
Me too
This figure might be the best translation of live-action transformations to a figure. There are so many moving parts used in the figure but it doesn't look bad imo. You know it looks good when it makes UT La Hire look like a Studio Series figure in comparison. I also don't mind the way the helicopter looks. For all the screen time it got and compared to the Hasbro toy which can't even have both alternate modes on the same toy, I think it looks perfectly fine. I'm excited to see what they come up with next!
I’ve been waiting for this review. I’m gonna buy this no doubt
Drift is one of my favorite transformers and I’m so happy he has a triple changer with this much detail and movie accuracy.
I agree! He’s one of my fave designs too!
I have mine on pre-order and after watching your review, I can easily say that I can forgive the restrictions for the head movement, wrist rotation, the thigh pads restricting the range of leg movement and the fact that it is slightly off scale with other 3rd party or MPM figures. By the looks of it, I am sure that MetaGate went through a lot of QC tests and had to make this sacrifice so that they could pull off this lovely black magic transformation. And considering how long we have been waiting for ToyWorld to release their triple changers (Shatter and Dropkick), or at least give us an update about them, I could definitely say that MetaGate did an amazing job. I mean... it is a triple changer. What else could we possibly ask for from MetaGate at this point? Maybe to give us Shatter and Dropkick :))
Metagate is making a shatter and to me it looks really good. It doest have tiny wheels like the toyworld shatter
Finally the review I’ve been waiting for
Thank you! I hope it lived up to the hype!
Very excited for this guy! My biggest issue is the scale, but this looks so great otherwise that I can overlook it, even if he ends up being a "one off" in scale. While it doesn't bother me, it is weird that they used the face design from the Last Knight instead of his Age of Extinction face design. I honestly don't think the helicopter mode is bad considering everything its doing. It is an AOE design which are notorious for being difficult to do and triple changers usually have a mode that suffers and the designers made the right choice here.
His helicopter mode is meant to be a Sikorsky-Boeing SB-1 Defiant with a push-prop and twin coaxial fixed rotors making it a compound helicopter. It also resembles Sikorsky's X2 experimental high speed demonstrator model too.
All this needs is 2 partsforming panels to plug into each side of the helicopter's body to fill out/cover all of the gaps, and give it the detail it needs.
Yes, I know some people wouldn't want any partsforming-- but that's fine because it would be optional. Anyway, I hope the company or another entity decides to make some panels to upgrade this guy's chopper mode with. My figure should be arriving in a couple of weeks. Pretty excited to see this one.
Good to hear that new theme love it keep it up ❤️
Thanks so much mate!
I really appreciate that he has sword wielding wrists, something very underrated and perfect for Drift
Hey Primevsprime! I’m a new viewer and gotta say that I love your videos bro😁. i would love to own a transformers toy collection one day. Keep up to awesome work✌🏼.
The bugatti and robot modes are so good.
The helicopter is alright, we never really got a good look at it in the movie.
Ken Watanabe was perfectly as Drift in the last two movies. I love how he portrayed the alien robot haiku-spitting samurai.
Great review, and this figure is the product of magic! I even like the heli mode, the designers did such a great job considering he also had to have an accurate bot and car mode!
Awesome! Now I'm hoping for a Crosshairs one. Soooo hyped
So glad I pre-ordered this. Robot mode is stunning looking; paint and sculpt is out of this world. He looks like he just jumped out of AoE! Car mode is decent and the helicopter is a gimmick that I wouldn't use anyway. Great review once again @PrimeVsPrime 🤟
Great review. What a transformation! I thought Perukil was the best Bayverse MP Transformer out there, but he can move over now. This thing is absolutely nuts.
Thanks so much! & I agree for the longest time Peru Kill has been one of those wow transformers but is definitely dated now haha
Was gonna ask for a scale comparison with Peru Kill.. and it’s the first comparison you did !
Great review as usual! They did this figure justice, and it scales pretty good with the bs03 prime👏🏾!
Thanks so much! & yes BS03 is probably the best figure to pair him with
@@PrimeVsPrime it just sucks he doesn’t scale with the other figures😕
You know you've found one of the greatest figures of all time when it's a working triple changer figure
what an INSANE and unimaginable figure! 🤯
also I love the transformer’s theme and Jablonsky’s theme..nice 👌🏽
Thank you! :)
Just preordered mine last knight cant wait.
The figure looks absolutely amazing. As for scaling, I'm hoping he will look good with the upcoming DLX TLK Optimus. I think they will scale really well together!
I’ve been waiting 7 years for this
I’m happy they finally made a triple changer drift
Me too!
This design is spectacular. Triple changer is really a challenge but they pulled it. The heli mode might not be smooth but if they improve it overtime, it might be the best transformation.
3:47 between the two I actually like Haiku's car mode more - despite my personal preference of the Aventador over the Veyron. Peru Kill's looks ever so slightly off around the wheels (often the one criticism I have for Unique Toys' offerings, which are otherwise near-perfect), but Haiku's here just have flawless proportions, which is made all the more awesome by how it's a triple-changer.
10:11 it actually is on the front in the movie, making this even more impressive
Definitely will be getting this as he is my favorite Bayverse Transformer
My son and I stumbled on to this last week and he had to have it so off to showz we went to find it.. Now we just have to wait for his preorder and this review makes it that much more exciting..
There's more transformation on one leg than in the whole SS devastator
Haha that is so true lol!
If you stick your arm out, bent at the elbow, and rotate your hand, you'll notice that most of the forearm moves with it. That's because all the muscles for wrist movement are actually in the forearm. Forearm rotation makes his articulation even more realistic than wrist rotation would
The helicopter mode is definitely peak janky, but the fact they got it in there at all is amazing.
Nice review! Reminds me of Thrilling 30s Springer. Although I think this one is more intricate and probably more expensive
YO THATS CRAZYYYYY, I DIDNT KNOW YOU WERE CHILL LIKE THAT 😱😱😱😱😱🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Complex but brilliant! Shame about the wrist rotation and the height but overall very well done. Also I love that Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse - that vehicle is one of my favourites.
the fact that they managed to make a Triple Changer.....it's insane
Honestly it’s kind of a shame we never got to see Drift have a fight with Lockdown. Granted I’m pretty sure LD would have won in the end but it still would have been very good
This thing actually looks fun to mess with, and not at all frustrating tbh. Really good figure imo
This is dope I can't wait to get mine
Bro took "I WOKE UP IN A NEW BUGATTI" To a while new level 💀
Now THAT is a Transformer! 👌
Imagine when they'll do Shatter and Dropkick the marvelous figures they'll release but I hope they will be in scale with Magnificent Prime
I think I have a tear in my eye 😢 so beautiful.
I agree!
one of the most amazing figure
alt mode and specially robot mode is 🔥
To say AMAZING is legit an understatement!!! No words! And I kinda prefer the scale here for some reason
Gonna go out on a limb and say this one of the best Transformers toys EVER CREATED. PERIOD.
All i can say about the helicopter mode is that ,it is more like a Cybertronian helicopter drone of some sort.
This is the best from the best transformer toy i have ever seen, the engineer and designer have reached the god level now
I find it so amazing that a triple changer can be put in the same size as the unique toys hot rod is just… mind blowing will definitely want to pick this thing up
Is their any other place I can but it?
@@ernie9538 basicallly I mean the ones I know are the show-z store but that’s it
@@greglynas52 yeah, I already found the price ain't that bad, at least compared to some overrated anime figures
I'm not a fan of the live action bots, but this is fantastic, you can't even be mad about the heli mode when the two other modes are so clean
I used to have a drift toy but it was different. Planning to buy again since i had some situation yrs ago
Hey so I have the figure now, and I think that the heli mode works better if you twist the head around. Also, he doesn't have wrist rotation but the whole forearm can rotate, which is a bit tough but gets him into so many great poses.
Great review, I disagree about wrist swivels, I think it's annoying when you have that and forearm swivel. It's crazy how far 3rd party has come since Peru Kill, which I thought was unbeatable. This guy just looks so natural and clean in both modes
Now that’s Is what I call black magic! He looks so accurate to the movie :0 the original Figure looks ehhhh.. not Accurate, The studio series looks good but the kibble.,But this.. This figure is what Black magic is all about! Another great review as always!👍

what the hell are you saying? - hound
Wasn’t so sure, it looked like another TW Knight Orion, but man I was wrong, I need one lol
This cool video mister primevsprime
I always love a forearm rotation morethan a wrist rotation it makes it more easier to manipulate the figure
Great review but one thing that killed me was when you referred to the rear fenders of the Bugatti as “mudflaps”
That robot mode is stellar.
Robot 10/10
Car 9/10
Heli 5/10
A full+full review. Thank you for your near work.
Wanted to buy this but watching this was enaough. Bored of the toy in 30 min😄
A transformers figure. That changes into not one, but TWO, forms. And has a perfect, super posable, and movie accurate. With NO KIBBLE on the back of the robot mode has got to be the best thing I have ever seen. While, yes, helicopter isn't so good. But they made this figure was just amazing
this character is one of the few bayverse designs i actually like (it's basically him, hound, lockdown & squeeks - other than that i really dislike just about all of them), and, i gotta say, this figure is absolutely nuts. wish i could afford it, but, alas. i did pick up legacy jhiaxus last week, though. love it so much, although, it is the floppiest, loosest tf figure i've ever bought. the leg fins/wings don't stay put and the head flops around like an uncooked footlong hotdog. seriously. when i shake it lightly, it looks like he's having a seizure, what with all of the limbs flailing around accompanied by the 80's metal head banging. i'm gonna have to tighten every single joint up an insane amount.
its a really cool figure extremely accurate to what was seen in the movie bothe modes are spot on and awesome I really like how bugattis look like they are just mwah like this figure the helicopter is also really nice and again spot on to the film. great review .
I agree! Very accurate! & thanks so much!
saw pics of this and finally a review
It's incredible
The copter mode suffers but i think its very passable
This triple changer is SICK brother! 🤙🔥😎
They did a better job of helicopter mode than I originally thought. If you compare it to the stills from the first time we see the drift take this form.
Amazing figure and also amazing review . Will you ever do a review on the Kaiyoudo SCI-FI Revoltech Bumblebee?
I actually prefer it when the Reviewer comments through the Transformation as they are Transforming the figure. That way all intricacies of the Transformation are noted by the Reviewer as they are Transforming the figure. And I like smooth Transformations with as little jump cutting and editing as possible. Especially for complex Transformations. I choose Reviewers that do this for their Transformations especially if I am trying to follow the Transformation closely.
probably the best triple changer I have seen .
"Drifts kinda falling over half transformed and then died" best quote I've heard all week.
I think this is the best version of Drift we're gonna get. The helicopter mode is perfectly fine with me, cause in the movie it was janky and clunky, which realistically would be the case if a helicopter was completely made of Bugatti parts.
Great figure didnt really like the helicopter mode but looks good anyway i hope we get more figures from them
