A Voyager Class?? |

Some people are pointing this out (rightfully so). But the toy did break and then I follow up with saying the plastic quality is good. And while I stand by that statement, it did still break. This video wasn't shot in order and the breakage was partially the toys fault and partially my fault for just not paying attention. I still think it's a worthy pickup, just watch out for that bit

The extra accessories really did help. You're absolutely right about it being a fantastic figure. I'm not a particularly big fan of the character, but it's easily one or my favorite CHUG scale figures. The only thing I'm not the biggest fan of are the weird shoulder joints that he shares with Kingdom Rodimus.

It's easily my favorite Kingdom Beast Wars figure, probably my favorite toy in that line.

Your transformation section is one of the reasons why I prefer transformers coming in vehicle form.

[@speeddemon5339]

@@ThatToyGuy even if you did it correctly, by untabbing the front bumper, the amount of force it takes to untab the windshield causes the inertia to carry your hand and the windshield farther than it was intended to go, which causes a stress mark that slowly gets bigger with each transformation, until it snaps off. It’s already happened with mine. So, it’s mostly just a flaw of using the toy normally.

[@Natee178]

I really like the figure but I think a buzzworthy release with no clear plastic would be ideal. It would just make everything feel more solid, especially when messing with the legs. His plastic does feel great, clear plastic is just always going to be more fragile. I’ve noticed since legacy that the clear plastic, if it breaks, seems to like chip off more then full cracks like with jazz. Not sure if there is anything to that but it’s good to see that the entire windshield didn’t split in half.

[@Natee178]

Also I could easily see how that piece did snap, it really only has clearance to open enough for the roof to come out, pushing it past that point (which doesn’t seem like a difficult accident to happen) will def crack it. Just a heads up to people that it should be okay as long as you just take care with it and don’t over extend the joint

But like it was said at the beginning of the video, the classes aren't about size anymore. Haven't been since Power of the Primes.

You can say it’s always been about price all you want. What’s a fact, though, is that a size has always been placed with the different Transformers toy classes. Those sizes may have been changed over the years, but there’s still been a size difference in each class.

[@josiaharaki7310]

I know some folks complained about the pricing for Primal, but I suspect the reason most people accepted it, even begrudgingly, is because they know Hasbro isn't likely to sell the primary version of a faction leader at Deluxe pricepoint. Thus, even though Primal was small, simple, and seeming incomplete without a mace, blast effects, or anything in the gap of his chest, people accepted it as a "prime tax" as it were. As for price hikes, it's more than a little. From WFC to now, Deluxes have gone from $20 to $24-30 (25-50% price increase depending on location) Voyagers have gone from $30 to 40 (25% increase Leaders have gone from $50 to $65 at walmart (30% increase) We're going through inflation, yes, but not 30% more even before the recession hit more!

[@AliceDevil7490]

Figures that blur the lines of price point norms are why I weigh my figures with all their accessories after I open them. (Only comparing generations figures from t30 to present day) Not every figure is gunna have the same mass but I expect that if I buy a voyager I'll get more than what a large deluxe is. Same for leaders being more than voyagers and so on. So far every time a voyager has been given more stuff to be a leader or commander class, their plastic total has backed them up as that larger price point. Because the video mentions primal I'll mention in mass primal is a small voyager but non the less still a voyager, more than what you'll get for a deluxe. Studio series hotrod is the only generations figure I have that can't be worth his price point from his mass. With everything he came with he's only the total of an average deluxe. I still bought him after learning that cuz mass is far from the only thing that matters but still I'd say he falls on a borderline because of that. I know I didn't type any exact numbers here but I do have it all written down and I do remember whether something is heavy light or average for it's price point. Knowing that siege Ironhide was heavy for a deluxe is enough to not be so worried about studio series Ironhide. And I do think this kind of thing is an interesting conversation.

Sure the roof panels don't connect properly and the back of the van on mine doesn't tab in quite right, but those are probably going to be fixed on Ratchet, and the quality over cost approach means that the figure is more complex in the deluxe size, and some things have to be sacrificed because of that.

I think what justified this being a voyager for me was because it came after a deluxe that demonstrated why a deluxe budget doesnt work for Ironhide. If you want a non partsforming, cartoon accurate, highly articulated, and well detailed G1 ironhide in the modern era you need a voyager budget. We need to accept that sometimes the added value of a price class is that they can properly do the character justice. Let us not forget the tragedy of voyager Broadside.

But when the Studio Series came out, EVERYONE was singing it's praises. Oooooohhh, no parts-forming! No feet sticking out in vehicle mode. So, fine! It took me months to track one down at a decent price, but I finally got an SS Ironhide, and got a pre-order in for Ratchet. And then, only once I got them in, did everyone start admitting the fragility issues with the clear plastic, and how finicky the transformation was. Some even going as far as to say the Earthrise one was actually better. Now, personally, they're fine. I haven't had anything bad happen with them, but that transformation really feels like a chore compared to the Earthrise figure. The robot mode DOES feel nicely heafty, even of mine have a some loose joints. Then there are all the clear panels hanging off them, all in the service of appeasing the fans who complained endlessly about the Earthrise toys. I'm not saying the Studio Series figures are bad.

I have pretty much moved on to the whole price and scale thing, but it would be very appreciated to give proper price to a proper scale (legacy evo tarn). As for ironhide, this might be the best ironhide toy, though I grew up with the micheal bay ironhide so its a pretty hard pick.

Looks nice from an engineering perspective. Gonna wait for Ratchet personally, but it looks great

[@JordanBolland]

they need to come up with a new mold, not just a remold of siege.

A friend of mine managed to get the figure and the roof is just an issue with the figure in total not just your copy

[@lonewolf9578]

I’m not paying nearly £40 for an overrated deluxe, especially when Earthrise was bigger and that figure was an actual deluxe and had partsforming as part of it

[@autobotlogan7949]

I do think that he’s worth the voyager price he seems rather complex and he is bulky so I’m fine with the voyager pricing

[@joeseiden4299]

Well, I'm glad I waited instead of getting the ER figure, this one definitely looks much better

[@thespaceram2879]

The same thing happened to mine. I tried gluing it back and the glue must of ran down into the opening hinge. When i tried to open it , it got stuck. It wouldnt move. As i tried to apply some force the whole plastic split in half across the windshield. Now i dont know how to restore it. :(

Your 100% right, tabbing the roof and tabbing the cab into the roof are terrible on this guy!

[@flamedude6849]

Everyone asked for a voyager engineered figure, you get a voyager class figure, btw you can contact hasbro for a replacement

[@ThatToyGuy]

Already have!

[@SwayzOGRenzO]

I have the roof issue as well

[@zam8135]

1:30 made me laugh

[@benracer]

I'm sadly waiting on my Gamestop order of him to arrive next year...

[@cog_gear44]

Mine has trouble tabbing the pieces in place

[@MarzooqPrimal416]

I really didn't like the 3 different shades of red on the figure and I liked seiges ironhides height VS this new one otherwise I really dig this figure. Great review 🤜

[@Optimus_Prime_2007]

Don’t worry we can blame sleepy Joe for that higher price

[@qwertyzillaofficial2969]

Bruh really wanted to force politics in a Transformers review💀

[@Caseohistheweightofablackhole]

I got this one and no problems for me
