Hasbro:🤮 Takara:🤩

These are both so horrible to look at in bot mode, I know they are designed for kids (and arguably most TFs are) but dang.

Awesome review and helpful comparisons. The Cyclonus mold is one of my favorite molds from recent years. Interesting color scheme that works well in both modes.

Great review. Excellent analysis and comments. Comparison shots are very helpful. Didn't realize he was this short. But a practical option based on the price point.

" I've never seen anything like this before. " - Kup Thank you Matt in Japan for taking us on a visit to Moon Base. The repeating G1 cartoon sound effects are hilarious.

Amazing! How did you get these so fast? Love, love, love them both. The packages and G1-inspired artwork is awesome! And the toys themselves are NEXT LEVEL. If I wasn't already convinced to pick these two up, I definitely am now ... thanks to your review. These are destined to be future additions to my minibot collection. I am loving this MISSING LINK series!

How do you feel about the plastic quality?

My left arm is a little loose. Is that normal for the action figure

Thank you for the comprehensive review, Matt in Japan. Cool. There is something about these clear plastic versions that I think is just really refreshing and different.

Thanks for the review! That scale chart...wish we got a Leader/Commander class of Airazor with a wing span even wider than SS86 Swoop. And Titan class Stratosphere when?

Where can I buy it?

Awesome retro review, Matt in Japan. I am so glad that you also showed the booklet. That was really cool to see the precursors to Reflector, the cassettes, minibot cars and Soundwave (Casette Man). The cassettes that turn into a bike and helicopter are so cool.

LOL. You actually had ZZ Top cued up. Classic. I love the Headless Megatron cameo into Technical Difficulties intermission segment. The tank tread fists resembles boxing gloves. Thanks for the review and transformation demo. Great review, as always.

Nice video but personal opinion: waste of plastic ngl, back in 2005 we had transformers that were peak, where did them high ditailed figures go… I miss them

Very gundam seed

Impressive. Previously, I had little interest in this series. Your review changed my mind. Very cool, indeed.

Happy Halloween, Matt. I actually like the mold for Mindwipe. But Draculus is next level. The blood red on the inside of the wings in bat mode looks so evil. Love it. You can never go wrong with a caped Deception. Who needs energon when you have built-in candy corn storage? Matrix or Treat!

Awesome video. I have the Transformers X Universal Monsters Frankentron!!!

Thanks for the excellent review, Matt. Quite an unexpectedly complex transformation for a core class figure.

ooh Elita One pfp I don't like TF One elitas' headsculpt as it makes her look too much like a lightbulb for me and I don't think her head looked like that in G1 - but I think Elita-1 needs more love as a character!

8:35 son of a gun I'm going to hate to do that. My suggestion is don't clip it in. Just leave it loosely or firm. So you can just put a back again.

So satisfying to seeing the band back together. I love the last shot of them together in the plants. Great review!

Congrats on getting Swoop Matt in Japan!!! It feels incredible to finally complete the SS86 Dinobots. :D Keep on being amazing.

I usually wait for the Studio Series versions but I am really bummed out I did not pick him up at Target when I saw him!! Maybe he'll pop up again 🤞🏻 Great video! Thank you. I didn't like him until I saw you posing him in his glory! Not as cool as the SS version but would be great next to my random and miscellaneous collection!

Fantastic review Matt in Japan!! I think KITT might be one of the best Collab figures ever released. lol :D Keep on being amazing.

Hopefully they fix that tab if they do a Decepticon Agent KARR.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Your best review yet, Matt in Japan. How did you get this guy so early? I'm so jealous. I loved Knight Rider as a kid too. So awesome that you included the 80's TV show intro in your intro. This is an 80's dream come true. I was so sold on buying this when I first heard about it ... and that was before I found out that it has LIGHTS and SOUND. The oscillating red light bar and "woo woo" sound!!! Are you kidding me? I love both bot and alt modes. Retro box art and packaging. 10 out of 10.

Eyeah, this is definitely the case were one form dominate the other! The tank mode look like a total flop! Too much junk ontop of the treads! The turret itself look too thin from the side and small especially the nozzle! That being said, since the turret can pop off, a 3P can easily make a more beefy turret to replace it and maybe cover the side part aswell?

Not bad, wish it was better quality

Where can i buy it

Unfortunately, wheelless treads seem to have become a frequent feature of Transformers tanks of late.

Great review Matt in Japan!!! This figure is vast improvement over Titans Return Quake, despite its flaws. lol I cannot wait to see Quake stand besides Siege Spinister and Legacy Needlenose. :D Keep on being amazing.

Titan's Return wins again. Love that era. I've got the Hardhead version of the mold. Totally agree that the darker colors are better for Quake. The G1 comparisons are an appreciated addition to this review, especially the OG target masters.

Her Null Rays are very similar to the set of shorter ones that came with Coronation Starscream, that's probably why they seem familiar

Woah, slipstream looks so good

She has 5mm holes on the back of her shoulder pads so you can put her nullrays there

Excellent review Matt. The comparison shots of both modes really helps you appreciate the best features of both Wingblade and Slipstream. The paint apps on both are really nice.

Great review Matt in Japan!!! Slipstream looks really impressive, especially for being a repaint/retool of Windblade. :D Keep on being amazing.

Wtf, its already 2024, still woth the samn back pack lol, the third party already demonstrate their capabilities to get the movie accurate, for a big company like takara this is rather shameful considering the price tag is quite high

No butterfly joint😢

Epic review Matt in Japan!!! I passed on this figure at first, but I'm glad I reconsidered and added him to my collection. lol :D Keep on being amazing.

This is definitely the New Prime to get. One gripes… the hing for the arms will be the first to break… because it’s Takara… I’d recommend if you love this design you save your money and buy 2… He is definitely a great figure

The quality is still poor

Awesome, Matt! Your channel and content continues to get better and better and better. This is always my first stop for Transformers content. Looking forward to your reviews of the new figures. 'Till All Are One!

Why $80 😭😭😭

You’re supposed to press on the T-Cog to transform it!!!

I just bought this in Singapore. Love it.

TF One is the first line that not one figure or character design has any appeal to me. I do have this one on pre order because I collect Optimus and Commander class. This one seems the best of what has released but im still not feeling the look. Im a little on the fence if im going to just cancel or not.

Sucks that his chest is faux kibble but he looks so good that i can overlook that

Did you enjoy the new movie, Matt? 😊
