Black Mamba upscaled my favorite Voyager of 2023! KO Upscale Legacy Tarn Die-Cast "Leader" DJD-01

[@Sigma_Vehnke]

I find it funny with Tarn that they still can't print a Decepticon symbol on his chest when it's *literally his face*.

[@strongarmprime102]

yes the k.o tarn is one of the best figures

[@acicon]

The 5mm port size being retained despite the oversized nature of the figure is insane. Love it!

[@SilverScarletSpider]

thank you for making this video. i love oversized knock off toys.

[@Thunderprime07]

Wow this ko looks amazing, imagine if black mamba do a ko upscaled of legacy g2 optimus prime with light up matrix of leadership, eyes, guns and the swords, it would be epic

[@Nemesis_Prime666]

Awesome figure to see

[@maui_idw7644]

I love the OS KO. I replaced my MMC Tarn with him.

[@kimberlyval5161]

I was thinking you meant you were disappointed about not being blast effect compatible. That with the lights would look awesome!

[@Megatronus_Prime13]

I could (and still cant) find the original tarn under 60 bucks, so to get a better scaled version with die cast for the original retail price? Amazing. My Bday is next month too so I might be able to get it then

[@zoesoundglave3897]

ill wait for the packaging refresh

[@madslundberg7823]

oh wow i just got both as of today and now you upload this you got a hidden cam in my room or sumn

[@transformandgobricks7820]

Can't wait for that upcoming repack of Tarn!

[@Grogman9868]

There doing a package refresh?

[@transformandgobricks7820]

@Grogman9868 Yup. As well as a repack of SS 86 Grimlock, SS DotM Shockwave, and perhaps a repack of SS 102, but this time, as a normal SS. And a (kind of a repack) Legacy Ramjet and Thrust to go along with Legacy Dirge.

[@transformandgobricks7820]

​@@Grogman9868 But it will come out next year.

[@dumbjakeworld]

This guy is awesome, especially since Tarn is hard to find.

[@gavo7911]

Tarn is getting a rerelease some time next year

[@dumbjakeworld]

@@gavo7911 hell yeah thanks for letting me know!

[@Soundwave08]

Gonna buy this at TFcon LA if I can find it

[@sab_1039]

After watching this, instantly went and ordered him (along with a KO Studio Series Battletrap, not paying scalper prices for him). Can't wait for them!

[@theholo-library4020]

I really want thus figure. And tbh, more kos of Legacy/WFC figures should maintain the 5mm compatibility, unlike those Siege upscales

[@mrs.romansdelight4091]

I couldn’t agree with you more on that Voyager Tarn

[@tonyfiorilli2270]

Yeah jcc they're doing a repack of tarn. i can't wait. I just got into collecting around when he was released and I really want him. Scalpers suck.

[@bphater31]

I just got the figure yesterday. Great review

[@snitchbug]

looks like a lot of the flathead pins are replaced with screws for what it’s worth for the tolerances especially if that mid arm joint gets weighed down by the fusion cannon

[@bigboi890]

I hate how people talk bad about the tank mode, especially since it's accurate to the source material. We're currently in an era of transformers where people want everything accurate and that's what they gave us.

[@Alexprime-ve1od]

They both ave a Little bit of Paint chippping on the Mask.

[@B0NG_WTR]

i want the upscale for my main collection and the retail release for bludgeon it would let me feel better about buying the same mold twice

[@omarimus2260]

Great that he can scale with desthsaurus and overlord and grimlock

[@artemisjones2121]

EVERY TRANSFORMER NEEDS A SWORD!👿

[@void7176]

I wonder how he scales next to the SS 86 Grimlock

[@thegeneral1454]

Word of caution to everyone who buys this figure, the arm joints are prone to breaking if you aren't careful when moving the joints. Expecially the shoulder area.

[@owene2530]

Anyone fiending for the og tarn figure that doesnt wanna pay scalpers he was put up for preorder on sites like pulse as a united repack

[@jefferyscott1603]

I just wish they would've done something with the face under the mask, actually surprised you didn't bring up the fact that it's removable

[@Jcc2224]

I didn't know it was! And since they didn't do anything under it I guess I ain't missing out! lol

[@expandapantsii341]

could you do a video on how to install the batteries? I cant figure it out for the life of me

[@Jcc2224]

They should already be installed, at least on mine they were! I'm not sure myself personally.

[@expandapantsii341]

@@Jcc2224 damn. I had to buy batteries lol

[@TheServantSlayer7]

Anyone know the batteries that use? I have the toy, but I am frustrated looking for the batteries lol.

[@PrincetonPhalanx59]

According to TFSafari it uses 4 x LR41 for the blasters.

[@sukmykrok3388]

I've always looked at the Tarn/Bludgeon molds as upgrades to Skullgrin/Cybertrooper. It's a great looking tank on both molds!

[@isuckatusernames4297]

damn, they really didn't fix those hot-rod shoulders.

[@ErmIDK19]

How,why has it taken so long to have a decepticon symbol face ? There probably is one i dont remember or dont know about but meh ! This is the 1st for me

[@jonahlink987]

Kobe Bryant upscaled this figure?

[@AllCheatRiders]

Link to the figure

[@pugmasterben]

What batteries does it take?

[@Jcc2224]

I'm not sure what type but they came included!

[@pugmasterben]

@@Jcc2224 Aw, man. Mine didn't include any. Where did you get yours? Mine came from ShowZ

[@DerpyDude777]

If only Tarns shoulders weren't the Buzzworthy Optimus Prime deal. Better than Prime but that design which makes it weird to pose sometimes, other than that, he's a 9.5/10 kind of figure.

[@gmdexcillion3521]

honestly i can forgive it on tarn despite hating that particular joint on other figures idk maybe it's bias but it might also be that his shoulders are supposed to look like that like he never has his arms fully out but if you look at the comic whenever he slightly spreads them out his shoulders do start to rise above his collar line do i think a normal joint would look better probably but yk i can't fault them for being accurate
