An Incomplete Box Set?? Where’s The Rest Of Them? | #transformers Studio Series Decepticon Box Set

[@ThatToyGuy]

Getting a lot of people COMPLETELY MISSING or just not listening to the beginning of the video and then commenting "why are blackouts hands like that" or "why no bonecrusher or brawl"....please watch the video before commenting. Please

[@razormatrix8904]

FR!!! some of these comments give me brain rot

[@Th3Treasoner]

Watch a whole 19 minute video before commenting? This is unpossible!

[@Gecko69420]

I actually did watch the video, I said that as a joke ☝️🤓

[@FlamesReviewsAndMocs]

the movie came out in 2007 not in 2008, so it was 16 years ago so even hasbro got it wrong :\

[@guns4freedom]

I feel so old. I saw the original cartoon movie in 1986.

[@redacted8567]

An advantage of the pack is that it’s good for new fans like me, who want a bunch of movie decepticons without having to shell out obscene prices on the aftermarket.

[@GabrielIgnacio]

This is the exact reason why I got both this and the autobot multipack when they came out. In my case, it’s less of a new fan and more of someone who got into the figure collecting schtick later than most.

[@louisianajones8392]

First off, welcome to this painfully fun hobby, and second me too! I hated Studio Series at first because every figure I got broke but now, I'm like a total Shill for this line. (I have yet to get a terrible figure again but I will let you know when I do and which one to avoid.)

[@keyshawnwatkins4362]

It’s also kinda funny that Bonecrusher and Brawl were omitted from this set, because it reminds me of the 2007 Transformers movie game. You’re only allowed to play as Megatron, Starscream, Blackout, Barricade, and Scorponok (who, coincidentally, are the only Decepticons in this set). Bonecrusher and Brawl are only NPCs in the game. 😂 And Frenzy is just…….. nowhere in sight. Except the cutscenes.

[@maxrodriguez889]

I get it though, we also didn't even know screamers, brawl and bonecrusher existed in the movie until the final act

It’s also strange that megatron doesn’t have any of his copper highlights, I know that was a premium figure but considering they actually did change stuff for him and barricade in this set, it just feels weird

[@Jimmys_Giant_Robots]

It's probably since the paint budget is a lot less since on most box sets the paint is skipped in areas

Just like the autobot set with Ironhide, it’s almost funny seeing prices for Blackout dipping after the box set was released because some of the aftermarket prices I’ve seen for that big boy exceeded the msrp of this set

I don’t know why, but it just feels odd seeing the Megatron missing those few spots of silver paint; it looks mostly identical, but slightly off. But yeah, I love that Megatron figure; I think the RoTF chest helps the design so much, as well as the proportions…I also got it for like $20USD a while back, no weapon though but I didn’t care about that anyway.

[@Jimmys_Giant_Robots]

I still have the original barricade and I have a few things to say. The hood fell off for mine but I'm pretty sure I was being to rough since I was young when I got it. when transforming it I recommend pegging the arms into the legs then into the roof. Finally my old copy is so damn flimsy, like the arms literally have no traction on the ball joint at all, and the hips and feet are like wet noodles

[@tylervanpeursem7627]

That happened with mine too, rip because he's one of my fave movie cons

[@codythecat01]

I have the ‘07 toy. It’s older than I am

[@ivanthehunter3530]

I myself got myself an orginal human alliance barricade, and frenzy. Now that, is an amazing figure. The mpm barricade is more accurate in robot mode, BUT it doesn't feature an internal frenzy and a full interior, pluss opening doors.

[@mayhem-2889]

It doesn’t help where the hoods ball joint connects is made of clear plastic cus that’s hasbros big friend. Cus that cracked and broke on me sadly as well. Imma see if I can find this barricade seperate cus my god the paint is so much superior

[@dsharp4763]

Never knew that people considered Barricade's transformation annoying. I got it when I was younger, and I genuinely enjoyed it. Never had any issues of things not tabbing together in the vehicle, and I'm a huge fan of how all four wheels easily touch the ground without any extra fiddling (*cough SS49

[@hazielpax2290]

The thing is that they don't know how to really transform it. It frustrates me because i can help. If you can't see what's going on you're doing it wrong. You can do the roof last. There's many pegs you gotta get done inside that you can't see. If you let the roof piece with the cop lights get in your way you can see how you can peg the arms in the legs better and not just squeeze in blindness hoping everything fits. Knowing little bits like that can make a figure be a 6/10 to a 9/10 real quick

[@HighEffortUsername]

​@@hazielpax2290WOW SO HELPFUL😯 I can now see the tabs utterly refuse to peg into the slots so much better! Seriously this doesn't work.

[@chadderbug7587]

From what I hear, they regularly make the full mold everytime and then recycle the leftover plastic like alternate heads and sprew for other figures. Most likely to reduce costs and not have to make the assembly method different, they just opted to do the original version of Blackout. And besides, Grindor is still pretty cheap on certain sites like BBTS and around here he shelfwarmed for a good year at a local walmart which I snagged ofc.

[@tinycandleman6020]

I love that Barricade paint job, it was what kept me from buying the original figure. Shame its not being sold on its own, because Im not about to buy an entire pack for one delux.

[@_MECHA_]

[@james_no_last_name]

I’m gonna be so genuine. I’d be down for them making a Studio Series Frenzy core class figure like they have with Scourges minions and Noah Diaz

[@ThatToyGuy]

I'd be so down for that too

[@dumdum6711]

ever since i first saw 2007 as a kid i always wanted a frenzy toy for some reason

[@OGrupxe]

They should take some clues from Sideways if they ever go back and remake Barricade for a future Dark of The Moon release or something. That figure was surprisingly tight, especially for a character that shows up for 5 seconds and gets killed off _in alt mode._

[@obiwankenobi8271]

Thanks for putting the explanations in the beginning, nice to get that information right off the bat.

[@Koolstr]

You made this review a lot more entertaining than it had any right to be, with amusing energy and funny comments throughout, all while managing to still be very informative and deliver an actual thorough review. Nicely done. Subbed!

[@martinmespiespinosa7218]

10:32 That's a flaw in the design... For some reason, the propellers like to be in an arrangement of 2 - 4; 2 in the left side and 4 in the right one (looking from the back) You need to play with the hinches of each propeller to get rid of that "compression" issue

[@Arklegend2169]

The 4 pack looks great, definitely a good way to get these molds if you don't have them or missed out on them

[@Mega-Octane_studios]

If I had to guess they are probably going to put brawl and bone crusher in the revenge of the fallen box set, because they were in that movie, but I like the idea of a 2 pact released later

[@topcoppelion6626]

Bonecrusher was in ROTF but Brawl look alikes didn't show up until DOTM

[@Mega-Octane_studios]

@@topcoppelion6626 oh……… but still just to fill out the box

[@nedthecow]

I'm pretty sure its more like a 15-20 dollar cost difference. Maybe the price of the 15th anniversary pack was lower because I pre-ordered it, but in the US, I got it for $115 dollars, while this Decepticon pack is $150 in comparison. Maybe I'm tripping and the 15th anniversary pack was more expensive but thats what I remember. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@senornestlopez2597]

I'm not the only one who thinks this. Why not the other two.

[@StaticCorpse]

5:13 hey starscream has v2’s arm! Also if you play Ultrakill, you’d realize v1 is just whirl from the comics.

[@yonderjam]

I understand why Bonecrusher isn't included in the set, but going by that same logic a two pack with him and brawl could probably not happen next year since they only have an MP Brawl left to do unless they do a Bumblebee/ROTB character.

[@TheLast_Knight]

I pre-ordered this set the hour that it went live on Amazon. I got it like 2 weeks ago,and it is an amazing 4-pack. I wanted it for mainly Starscream since I missed out on the original release, but the other figures are great, too. I did swap Blackout's and Grindor's forearms (and got rid of the tree sap paint on Grindor) so that Blackout would have the articulated hands (until I can track down the DNA upgrade kit).I care more about Blackout than Grindor, anyway. Repainted all of them to better match their movie looks, and hollowed out he plastic in between the fingers of Megatron to give a more realistic look. Overall, definitely worth the $160.

[@Michael-x7y8k]

Watching this video made me realize that i was transforming Megatron's shoulders wrong. I was leaving them in the same position they were in in robot mode. Folding them down has made the alt mode so much cleaner. Guess thats what i get when i go by eye transforming him for the past two years lol

[@energymaster2484]

I got my studio series Barricade from the buzzworthy 2-pack with clunker Bumblebee, and the clear socket joint on his back got a huge crack in it on only the 2nd or 3rd time transforming him.

[@bullet_outsmarter_5000]

I didn't realize that this was only 150! Here's hoping it doesn't get scalped on amazon by christmas

[@GabrielIgnacio]

The autobot pack took a while to sell out on Amazon when I got it last year around December and if Hasbro learned anything and decided to act on it, this pack should be in stock longer at least.

[@RedMetalSuit]

Hey it’s currently 33% off, $100 on Amazon

[@BobaFettThe11th]

Ohhhh that makes total sense, thanks toy guy. I shouldve known better lol

[@untouchableomega2896]

I feel like it would have made more sense to put brawl in the pack instead of barricade since starscream, brawl, blackout, and megatron all show up in the mission city fight. And they could have later done a two pack with Bonecrusher and barricade as the highway pack

[@Mecharnie_Dobbs]

18:09 They have also removed that word from school history lessons in some states.

[@Koolstr]

As an adult collector (and a fan of the movie), with a minimal collection of other Transformers, I was very happy to pick this set up from Amazon today. They're having a deal right now - the whole set for only $100! That's a pretty insane bargain; I wonder how it's even possible. These look to be very high quality, beautifully painted, and visually appealing. So excited to get to try them out and flesh out my collection further.

[@jlg1362]

in all fairness, this is such a good box set! love it!

[@madhousestudiosdevious]

You’re not alone with that rotor issue with blackout

[@celeste17238]

I won't lie, I know you said the barricade toy feels a little weird when it comes to making it look dynamic.. best believe the issue is also present on the masterpiece, shame because i love the mpm toy SO MUCH but sometimes its a little iffy when it comes to makking good looking poses also what the hell out of all the stuff they had to cut from mpm to studio series WHY WAS THE HAND TRANSFORMATION REMOVED it makes the hands disgustingly innacurate, they found a solution for sideways but not barricade :( so i do agree figure definitely needs a refresh

[@nemesisprime0213]

Slay hands for Blackout is just too funny. Blackout the kind of guy to say 'SLAY💅😝' when megs killed a autobot.

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

The biggest buy incentive here for me would be the Megatron, and Blackout. Never had the original Megatron, and still only have the first run voyager which has not aged all that well. Starscream looks decent and proportioned better than the ROTF voyager which I feel is still decent for how old it is. Barricade is give or take at the robot mode looks fantastic whereas the original, and DOTM release had a much cleaner police car mode. As for Bone Crusher, and Brawl while I have the original deluxe versions still holding out for better SS Leader class releases in a couple of years.

[@bigefoshedda]

Glad to see that I'm not the only person whose final step on Barracade's transformation into alt is to basically just try and smash/squish the whole thing together and then just give up.

[@garrettconner2769]

I feel like it would have been a better idea if they would have subbed brawl with blackout. I understand why they want to include blackout because of his importance but we recently got the very similar grindor mold and the MP blackout.

[@BaggedRanchGirl]

With the nose cone 7:58, you’re supposed to push it to the side slightly. Great video, yet again, btw :)

[@novustalks7525]

Im surprised that people hate megatrons jet. It's so iconic and alien

[@S0n0fG0D]

Answer for not including bone crusher and brawl: when you think of LA deceptions, those two are the last you think of. Be real. The rest are actually relevant to the story in some capacity.

[@superpixelwarrior6893]

Barricade is a figure that you have to transform a bit differently from the instructions. I used to have his elbows bent with the doors folded out so I can get the arms to tab in better. I love studio series but sometimes the instructions do not help

[@BadAssXerx3]

cool boxset, still on the hunt for Megatron and Starscream. Not sure about the Barricade, rare but the MP is still cheaper

[@NeilBlumengarten]

Amazon had it for $99 USD this week. That and some gift cards made me finally grab the set. I'm happy to have them, though everything you said is spot on.

[@kiernanmurphy6063]

i was so focused on the green piece banded on starscreams shoulder i didnt even realize that his arm was lego

[@adel5637]

Dude I have movie 1 ss megs for months and I completely clueless that's how you properly transform him into the jet mode, thanks a lot man 😂

[@pokeprime94]

The earlier version of this Barricade mold had the quote on the rear fenders, I wonder if it was just budgeting, I really hope so, but with the state of things I could see why having the word “enslave” on a cop car might be a little too close to home

[@terriblelizardnbtapioles5279]

The Megatron mold definetly could have had a waist swivel, ther is enough clearance between the torso parts and the hips to put at least a mushroom peg in there, just adding that joint would have done wonders and most people wouldnt complain

[@DJKCP]

They should've done a ground force pack with brawl, barricade and bone crusher, and a sky force pack with blackout, megatron and starscream

[@Archive_7802]

For Megatron, I think it was another case of “Mainline figure being the blueprint for the MPM” like with RotF Leader Prime.

[@SupergamerEXSonic]

I would get the set for Blackout, Megatron and Starscream because I missed out on those when they released but as someone who owns the SS Barricade mold is one of the most infuriating figures to transform seconds to Earthrise Arcee, the thing doesn’t want to stay together at all and the thing breaks if you try to force! I was honestly expecting that to be a good figure but for it to lose to a figure that came out in 2009 is honestly sad because of the engine and quality we have today

[@geagenesismaria7379]

I like this barricade with this new change. But the chest don't connect with the torso and thats annoying but for me, is the "best" representation of him

[@gilmourstudios092]

How is the grill for the barricade? I have the ss barricade from the buzzworthy 2 pack and, because its rubber, it just looooooves to sick out forward. does this one fix that problem? because if it does, I have more of a reason to get this set.

[@Blak_out.]

Good set but I feel like the autobots are more worth it. Ironhide payed for the entire set, Back then and prime payed for 2. in this one you just don’t get that much value, barricade is ass, starscream and megatron are very easy to find in the secondary market for retail, and blackout is just the inferior version of the mold since it has the girl hands. Still tho who cares what I say, this set is still amazing.

[@FNAF-ik5ty]

Smoothest transition I’ve ever seen

[@X1_H.E.LL.O.S]

Funnily enough back at 2021 i saw a normal deco bonecrusher on a toy store, so yes im genuinely suprised people are hunting this figure

[@dustinpahel5950]

You know if you untab blackouts waist from the upper torso, you can completely tuck the helicopter gun barrel under the torso, so it’s pointing towards his back, instead of it just hanging there like a displaced peepee

[@slickmanfonzthatanti-troll]

I still own the Barricade from the two pack it came with Clunker Bee. It looks the same as the first studio series Barricade, minus it has the "To punish & to enslave" quote not applied on, the windows are clear clear & most areas aren't black like on this Barricade from the 4 pack. & yes... The ball joint on the front window loves to shatter, since on mine. It's cracked. I will give this Barricade from the 4 pack credit for darker windows, a better painted head & the police numbers on the chest area.

[@PaxtonKardell]

The bayverse decepticons are awesome, I do wish they would be used more often and not killed off in the first movie. Also, they could’ve added one of the other two decepticons in the set.

[@weik-2936]

i feel like all the years 1 (and like half of the year 2) Studio Series need a second go, especially Grimlock, cuz like, he's going to be so radically different from the other Dinobots who won't come out until at least 2025

[@TYRANTOFKAON]

That transition Tho

[@MikhailSamunin]

1:26 Hasbro's math is 2 deluxes equal a leader.

[@worldender2259]

From my experience with barricade, my copy is a little annoying to get together, but once you do, he stays together, so that might differ from copy to copy. 😅

[@r0n1nemp1re4]

Starscream’s legs become the back of the jet and incorporating more into the back is just cluttering the already junked up jet. And he’s pretty clean already And barricade’s thighs become the ports to where his biceps tab into the car mode so a literal thigh swivel will make his transformation even worse to do And those are my favorite of the movie 1 cons and bots

[@kboy1158]

The four pack is cool, except hasbro still hasn't made frenzy yet because there is still no core class studio series figure for him yet because they already made all the other decepticons from the 2007 movie into studio series. Also, it's kind of weird that barricade is in this pack even though he disappeared during the final battle in Mission City in the movie.

[@RedMetalSuit]

This box set is overall not bad. Does the DNA Design kit work with this specific Megatron, or does the paint not match?

[@theredoctopus3196]

You mistransformed the propellers In robot mode. You're supposed to get them closer together. That way when you peg Scorponok on the back his legs wrap around the 2 inner propellers and fix the whole thing in place so it doesn't move

[@TabletopStopmotions]

The Barricade ball joint does still have a likelyness of shattering

[@Optimusprime-ys3kb]

What do you prefer ss 54 or ss 13???

[@banobobot]

To my knowledge, I don’t think That Toy Guy ever covered Studio Series Blackout or Starscream

[@acrazysheepdog1555]

Wow, Bonecrusher is sought after? I stopped collecting Studio Series for a while now so I was surprised. I know Shockwave is as well but my copy has deficient joints, loose in other words, so my copy is kind of disappointing but I’m pretty sure I can do some techniques to mitigate that. Yeah I like Barricade from this series but godDAMN is it such a pain to transform him and he’s pretty fiddely. I do have Grindor but not Blackout but I don’t care, and I have movie 1 SS Megatron Megatron anyway. I also got Brawl already and he was my second SS figure ever (Starscream was my first) so yeah…kinda surprised to see this series is still going strong. Man do I wish I got the War for Cybertron Gamer Edition Optimus when I had the chance, but oh well…

[@Arcadeorama]

The transformation of that Barricade is very similar to the 2007 Deluxe Class, unless it's the same one with minimal changes.

[@DerpyDude777]

My Barricade is totally good haha also a favorite fs! I have the OG figures of all of them and no real issues and Transformations are fine too.

[@JohnH-i5m]

The blades on the far back can move almost on top of each other

[@evanmeirweber]

bonecrusher and brawl are missing because 200 bucks is a bit excessive for 6 figures, but not for 5 apparently

[@trantuankiet3080]

I think it's because for the autobots it's 2 deluxes and 3 voyagers whereas decepticons has an extra leader so they had to go with 4, and these four are more...iconic, i guess. Like the other 2 are great but these 4 are the ones with the spotlight in the movie so they had to go with 4, these are the ones
