DOTM Human Alliance BACKFIRE w/ Spike Witwicky

[@uainjansun]

I used to own the silver bumblebee

[@cweffer]

i agree, gun-mode looks like it was made for Iron Hide :) it looks really awesome

[@rodan56]

the gun mode looks awesome on dotm megatron.

[@T3c4x3r0]

Triple Changer Giant Target Masters. Awesome IMHO.

[@kennyscott11]

[@DMSL2007]

I agree 100% this fiigure looks great in all modes, definately buying. Great review.

[@Slashercon]

4:45 Instant buy!!

[@UltraPrimal]

The gun mode looks a lot like a leg for a combiner.

[@blowndipperjosh]

Using Ironhide as a weapon holder makes all this videos so badass -N!C3

[@GangrenaD]

Nasty looking weapon mode :O

[@tosthage1]

darn he looks great as ironhides gun like that form the most

[@RedGemAlchemist]

I'll probably use the weapon modes to make some kinda gestalt with a deluxe mold.

[@superbigtune1]

super cool

[@coolcolin727]

oh never knew that

[@CrackedVersion99]

@peaugh oh ok thanks!

[@trapjaw7253]

I totally for got about this guy

[@kaizer3000jp]

@Slashercon i see, thanks!!

[@794_]

Pretty cool!

[@rovalla456]

I'm definetly gonna get this just because of ironhide DOTM leader class

[@smsno1]

as pointed out. this looks SO much like a leg in "gun" mode. are we on the way to a decent combiner again?

[@waysted199]

this guy's head for some reason just remins me of a war with in style tarantulas

[@Z39hyrr]

it looks like that stealth force vehicle

[@slapmepls]

@CrackedVersion99 on the dotm takara jetwing optimus yes, cuz its a modified rotf prime with mechtech holes

[@RiderManX0]

His bike mode reminds me of the Warthogs from Halo.

[@thattransformersdewd3178]

RiderManX0. Do you mean the mongoose?

[@chasinthroughthedecade]

Now no one would wanna mess with Ironhide now!

[@nikmatt11]

I understand why you like the look of Backfire with Ironhide because, if you remember, Backfire's vehicle mode made an appearance in Revenge of the Fallen at the beginning when N.E.S.T. was going after Demolisher! :p

[@joshjohnson324]

They should really bring back human alliance type toys for the movie line

[@transfan1988]

I´ve benn dreaming with this kind of figures since HA Bumblebee first came out. This mold is really great and it might work as an army builder too!

[@Andreprime1000]

i only got him for the weapon mode

[@machkay]

he is definitely the best looking gun for Ironhide so far :)

[@kira-dk2mx]

Spike is Sam's cousin, and his dad is Ron Witwicky's brother.

[@leetri]

@RiderManX0 The warthog is a jeep. Mongeese are the quads.

[@allycliftonsucks]

@Julius131201 actually the character in Energon is Kicker

[@KridkornTangthanasirikul]

It's cooler on shoulder of SP...

[@Newguy585]

According to wikipedia, "The Protagonist in the film series is named "Sam" rather than "Spike". In early versions of the script, Sam had the nickname "Spike". This idea was later scrapped because, according to writer Roberto Orci, these nicknames were appropriate for a mechanic and an oil rig worker in the animated series, occupations in which the characters did not work in the film. However, he has stated that these nicknames may possibly be earned in any sequels.

[@caffeinedelusions]

In the G1 series, "Spike" was Sam's nickname. I think that's the best bet.

[@Thehalowowster]

Spike is the human from the original g1 series whom Sam witwicky is named after

[@TheNinoslow]

nice review and awesome figure i just got mine today by bbts awesome

[@Apocollective_horseman]

@ToaDrakua i agree collapsed together he would look perfect asa right combiner leg

[@Mastersecret100]

Whenever I unsnap the wheels, I think of Cybertron Ransack.

[@ipsyc]

even the head of backfire looks like ironhide!! :D

[@RodimusMinor1987]

He looks Awesome With Leader Ironhide I will get them both

[@AceMasta304]

I love Backfire's Gundam leg mode. ;P

[@VectorPrime2007]

Sam Witwicky is Spike Witwicky

[@theprimo100]

@Autocon609 I think the stopped using GPS-affected plastics asfter Armada.

[@MisterMortombachman]

I really like how they made the engine visible in robot mode. They should do that kind of thing more often.

[@SixArmedSweater]

His face reminds me of G2 Clench.

[@uberkewl19]

Found this for 5.99 at Ross!

[@gyrrakavian]

Finally! A proper homage in the movies to G1!

[@MentalMyles]

the gun mode kinda looks like a gundam foot XD. I wander if the Human alliance scouts can ultimately combine?

[@VirussRuss]

wow like this transformer man if I see this I will pick it up very cool review bro thumps up

[@Pilegomers]

@popoy157 no its Ronald Witwicky

[@mrspdrcr2]

@peaugh i think DOTM is the only ones to have mechteck ports...

[@Xplosivedeath]

@peaugh maybe the gun rifles from backfire can attacth to the clip points at dotm deluxe bumlebee or other figs with clip points???

[@brothersfilm101]

@peaugh Spike Witwicky Is The Old Cartoon Character From The G1 Series!! So Technically , Yes They Are Related In a Way!!

[@fealmor]

BTW anyone notice that this transformation is akin to Technobots cycle? I hope fansproject improvises it into a Leg or Hand formation for Computron if they are ever going to make it.. or maybe hasbro will fill up on that!! :D

[@clydebf3]

@peaugh How do these look up against the ROTF Human Alliance toys? Do they work as weapons with the ROTF HAs? I might get some of these to supplement that line. Scale is right and everything.

[@Moonenvoy93]

Am I the only one that thinks this figure looks more like a decepticon rather than a autobot?

[@CinderGrey]

the "gun" mode looks more like one of devestator's legs...

[@armorhide]

target master, sweet

[@thestarscreamER1]

can these mech tech weapons and this gun attach to rotf toys

[@MrHarleytx]

Does the human fit with the voyager size human alliance figures

[@yohi_xx]

@robby07darkangel yes it is, this figures is also same price with them, it's just that the weapons turn into humans.

[@transformerlee01]

i think it can be sam's cousin :) spike witwicky interesting

[@Autocon609]

I noticed the 3mm clips on his weapons are gold plastic. Thats a solid type, and not the notorious gps variety of gold plastic, right?

[@Sds0071]

@godzillameister Gold Plastic Syndrome. The gold plastic would sometimes be weak and easy to break

[@CrackedVersion99]

Can the gun be attachable to ROTF Optimus or DOTM Optimus?

[@kaizer3000jp]

is it just me, or does the "gun" mode resembles a part of the feet? could it be this human alliance is also a part of a combiner of some sort?

[@KeisterKhan]

He looks more like a decepticon, I think

[@FrenzyandLazerbeak]

A++Peaugh......your a walking factory transformers reviewer.....I think your are part machine??....in the way you just produce and produce reviews...You feed the hunger of all transformer fans.

[@superrobottaisen]

i got a little doubt about the figure of spike, the little hole in the back got a little screw or is a hole to put some kind of aditament?

[@fafireguy]

does backfire's weapon mode work with voyager DOTM ironhide

[@SuperMyl3z]

I've watched so many of your reviews i read your comments in your voice o_0

[@WELOCME2DEATHLOK]

Are there any Decepticon Human alliance figures? Dont think i seen any yet

[@TheMamabearmills]

hes form g1

[@lightningbolt61]

what do you think of FXFRANZ

[@digioverlord]

@Uglywretch he was not named sam in the g1 series. not sure about the comics

[@optimalrod]

well it was sam "spike" witwicky

[@holsson85]

Cool! So is this the first "movie-verse" targetmaster? Gun mode looks like a Final Fantasy or Star Wars speeder almost! Pretty good for a ~tripple changer of sort!

[@kevinator1100]

*spoiler* Spike is sam's nickname and he marries carly his new love interest in dotm info from wiki

[@robby07darkangel]

@peaugh please answer, what is the size of the main robot? is it deluxe class-sized?

[@primefan100]

who is that spike guy everybody talking about

[@EndLine34]

hey peaugh how much does it costs

[@Slashercon]

@kaizer3000jp He was the main human character in the original G! Transformers cartoon back in 1984-86. he had a girlfriend named Carly and the Autobot he was most fond of was named "Bumblebee". See the connection?

[@vengeance1701]

Maybe Sam is going to get the nickname of Spike?

[@JTMHollywood]

Maybe...

[@ThePeblo]

@popoy157 No, Sam represents Spike in the Micheal Bay Transformers films

[@mrx87329]

@srgtross nah thats the best bit ; )

[@matthewdelacruz15]

4:45 Weapons down. And we'll let you escape with your dignity...

[@Luckwanted]

spike g1

[@godzillameister]

@Autocon609 whats gps stand for

[@alexmok2]

he a heavy iron from the video game for ironhide

[@RageQuit01]

I tried spinning my spikes head. He broke. Anyone know how to fix it or can fix it for me?

[@barbatos1275]

Didn't we see the vehicle mod at the begging of tf2

[@rogersingh261]

Turns out Spike is Sam’s cousin

[@Slimshadow457]

@Thehalowowster Though he looks a lot like Kicker from Energon, with the whole Dirtbiker-esque look :)

[@Mecha82]

Vehicle mode of this figure is kinda nice while robot mode is not very good. How ever with this size is no problem as it also has weapon mode that voyager class and leader class figures can use.

[@MoxAmber26]

@farihinman yeha well G1 is not the same universe as As the movies

[@raikutsu918]

the alt mode and gun mode looks awesome but the robot mode is a downer...

[@Darkscorponok]

Is it just me or does Backfire look like the leg of a gestalt?
