Do We Really Need This ?! Transformers LEGACY United Origins Wheeljack Chefatron Review

[@devonbolanos5528]

We've been needing this since Siege.

[@chefatron]

ok

[@Jeradactile]

I really dig this Wheeljack. Engineering and an intricate transformation is always a big seller for me. He turns into such a big ole tank ha ha. Love it

[@chefatron]

awesome man!

[@jetguardian28]

The vehicle mode of Wheeljack based on the first episode of Transformers G1

[@chefatron]

yes it is

[@MikeD974]

Yes we do 1 figure this year I'm looking forward too

[@chefatron]

cool man

[@jesussaves9711]

Would love to have this figure, but $35 USD... yeesh !! For that money, I have some other figs on the list that are more important.

[@chefatron]

yup, I know right?!

[@diggityslice9023]

Another one afraid of a slightly involved transformations. No wonder Hasbro charges $50 for 10 steppers nowadays.

[@chefatron]

yup sadly

[@chaospxl_]

Honestly i feel the "Do we really Need this" question is a simple no. of course we didnt need it, but i find it remarkable they tried it anyway. while the back kibble is absolutely and downright horrendous, the novelty of having a cybertronian G1 Wheeljack might be a huge appeal to some collectors (and the fact that his vehicle mode has such a big ol hollow space to store stuff in!)

[@chefatron]

valid point. I agree

[@adianolkonen8488]

Wheeljack's Dominator Discs were reverse-engineered by Bombshell into what Bombshell will develop into his Cerebro-Shells.

[@chefatron]

I see... interesting...

[@ster9k]

Yes, we did.

[@chefatron]

cool

[@razorblademask]

I enjoy the figure and they put a lot of work into it. The kibble is rough, but I feel like they did as much as they could and it's still really impressive. The shield thing should've either been tossed or just package separated. So dumb.

[@diggityslice9023]

You can just toss it yourself

[@razorblademask]

@@diggityslice9023 that doesn't take away my point of it being unnecessary and that the"road" option is just a problem. Absolutely an afterthought.

[@chefatron]

good points man

[@overhill6822]

Damn I got this guy 2 weeks ago lol I ended up having to drive over an hour away to the target next to the pentagon lol I got the last two sorry😂

[@chefatron]

oh wow! I love the dedication to the hunt! I used to be just like that when I was much younger...

[@overhill6822]

@@chefatron it was fun I haven't went on a toy hunt in a long time

[@UnChannelDuVulpineX]

20:30 There's a trick to separating the blue pieces. Fold the outer one all the way under the middle one, they'll pop apart easily.

[@chefatron]

thanks for the tip!

[@chrisneilson8833]

Yes we do. He looks grat with the others.

[@chefatron]

awesome !

[@RACH90810]

Wait till you see armada wheeljack. So many wheeljack this year.

[@chefatron]

oh has he been announced already?

[@michaelpapp5518]

Without having watched the video? I have decided to answer your question. Yes. Yes, we do need this.

[@chefatron]

cool man

[@jotimusprime3943]

Meron palang double blizzard si wheeljack!

[@chefatron]

hahahahahaha !

[@legendarytoycollections]

06:15 Jitsu Fan reference got me 😂😂😂 Forget the dominator discs, this is what I’m calling this from now on. Great review as always

[@chefatron]

hahahaha di ba bro?! LOL double blizzard fans hahahaha salamat bro!

[@juancabeza5809]

Thanks for this awesome video Chef! I can't believe I'll say this but I DO NOT have any of these three AWESOME figures in my collection! Somehow I did not foresee this happening when the first Origins Bumble Bee figure was released! This is something I will regret later in my life not having! However, it is not my fault because Hasbro was all over the place at that time with the Animated/Armada/Prime figures in their waves and that burned me up. I ended up buying figures I regret having today that I don't even know who they are like the $50 green jet that combines with the other jet that later was repainted for an autobot version and then the endless Amazon repaints that I somehow ended up with 3 Beast Wars Dinobot, like 2 or 3 G1 Mirage, 2 Springer variants, 2 Beast Wars Dino Megatron (Jurassic Park), etc. I was like "I'm Done" I can't buy them all"... Then Gi Joe with the Tiger Force/Python Patrol/Mad Marauders repaints. I am now just following your advise and being selective in my figure purchase selection. I am grateful for Hasbro to be putting out so many figures but at the same time I cannot keep up with all this repaint madness!!! Don't get me started with the exclusives...😡

[@juancabeza5809]

BTW 0:55 looks so funny!!! 😂👍👍

[@chefatron]

@@juancabeza5809 hahahahaha

[@chefatron]

I feel your pain man but don't worry, I'm sure hasbro will re-release all three of these figures eventually... maybe even as a pack or set... the episode 1 set or fight for cybertron set LOL

[@juancabeza5809]

@@chefatron Thanks for your reply. I am away from home and I don't have anybody to talk about these figures. God bless you my brother!

[@chefatron]

@@juancabeza5809 no prob my friend, that's what this toy collecting community is for 😀

[@TFfangeek]

Great review chefatron!! To answer the question in the video title, YES we need Origin Wheeljack! lol :D Keep on being amazing.

[@chefatron]

thank you so much my friend as always hahahaha... I actually ended up selling all 3 of these figures after the review LOL but awesome you love them brother 😀

[@TFfangeek]

@@chefatron You're welcome. As long as those figures went to great homes, it feels satisfying selling Transformers figures. lol :D I really enjoy the Origins figures. :D

[@michaelpapp5518]

6:40 love it. Ha, ha!

[@chefatron]

hahaha

[@michaelpapp5518]

7:56 I don’t see much difference in head sculpts. Meaning I feel they’re a sidegrade, not upgrade. The heads are too similar looking for me to feel different about them, despite the clear detail changes. Maybe it’s those very details you appreciate more?

[@chefatron]

cool man yeah, I suppose

[@thedead_end9628]

Seeing this Origins Wheeljack inspired me to trade my Origins Bee and Jazz. It effectively ruined those other figures in my eyes. I certainly hope others enjoy it for what it is, but it is just not for me.

[@chefatron]

well, I actually sold off all 3 of these origins figure to a buddy who wanted them for a very good price... really not for me...

[@michaelpapp5518]

20:48 just fold the connected pieces closed, inwards towards the hollow side, and the tabs pop apart with no issues or effort.

[@chefatron]

cool, thanks for the tip bro!

[@michaelpapp5518]

@@chefatronhopefully it helps.

[@kray97]

Vehicle mode is pretty great....the robot mode is just okay. It is really hard to transform.

[@chefatron]

yeah, I agree

[@mrs.romansdelight4091]

Oh the sarcasm 😂

[@chefatron]

hahahahahahahahaha

[@michaelpapp5518]

24:53 yeah, that’s fair. If someone outside the clear target audience picks the toys up, they might not be as forgiving as we are. I do feel like the objective fact that no articulation is very compromised on any of the figures, despite kibble, would still come across as impressive. At the very least, a plus in its favor.

[@chefatron]

yup I agree

[@michaelpapp5518]

13:59 strong disagree. For a panel former, I think the process is a lot of fun. I do feel more of those panels shoulda been made into legs or feet, but I can’t deny how cool the articulation is. Amazing the massive kibble interferes almost not at all with posing.

[@chefatron]

that's cool man

[@miguelarcachero6103]

Sunbow Origin? Forget it! Sorry I prefer the Studio Series Gamerverse WFC Sideswipe and Bumblebee Origin Sunstreaker!

[@chefatron]

that's cool bro!

[@michaelpapp5518]

22:04 cool poses, yo. If a bot mode is gonna have kibble, Bee and Jacky are two examples of how to manage it well. Jazz just doesn’t have much kibble to resolve.

[@chefatron]

thanks so much man! yes perhaps...

[@michaelpapp5518]

0:56 okay. He’s fanning himself. I had to check if Wheeljack was pointing a gun at his face or not. No. He’s fanning himself. Very clever use of the EVOFUSION!!!! feature!

[@chefatron]

hahaahahaha I know right?!

[@NickBartolo]

It’s so ugly. Just a cluster of panels in robot mode (those legs!) and a shoebox in alt mode. I have no nostalgia for the original cartoon, so to me this thing is an easy pass.

[@chefatron]

hahahahaha true man... yeah better use your funds for something you like 100%

[@thespaceram2879]

Vanilla, the thrilla.

[@thespaceram2879]

Try sitting at the tail gate a smaller kreo bumblebee next to the solar conductors. So it is easier to close the roof of the hover truck.

[@thespaceram2879]

Push in to put back or out to remove from below as you fold down each piece of the shield and they come out easily without damaging it. I had to remove the stress marks with some heat from the hair dryer for a couple of seconds and they are fine. Since I have done it that way no more stress marks.

[@chefatron]

yeah it took a few times for me to figure it out, but it still wasn't the easiest thing to do

[@chefatron]

yeah that works!

[@chefatron]

hahahaha
