He's called DoubleDealer. Optimus and megatron really should've saw that coming.

[@qinjikofoxx5580]

Yeeeeaaaahhh... you're right about that.

[@besnikzogaj9887]

Unleash the Cluster Bomb!

[@abhijeetsingh3853]

ya , thats more like DOUBLE"LEADER"

[@DepravedMorgath]

Time to resurrect this old comment: To the Autobots, He is known as "Double" alongside his powermaster knok who is loyal to the Autobot cause (Even if a bit greedy). To the Decepticons, He is known as "Dealer" and his fearsome powermaster partner Skar helps keep track of his schemes. See, "Double/Dealer" is so sneaky, Even his own binary bonded (Dual) partners don't know he's playing both sides for greater profit, let alone know that another powermaster partner even exists.

[@anubis9050]

After watching Siege and Earthrise and seeing the different factions, Hasbro could’ve given Doubledealer his Mercenary Symbol

He is superior to Ultra Magnus in at least one way: He can "deal" with things.

[@baronboi5129]

Nice 👌. You could also say that's he deals with things at double the speed 😉

That joke really “deals” a blow 🤣

[@nostalgicotaku2977]

You really doubled down on that one

[@DatHarlequinOni]

He looks ridiculous in bird form, in a totally awesome endearing way. It's amazing how the blocky, mechanical-minded aesthetic of G1 still kind of holds up, especially with the added engineering.

[@Ultrazilla]

Kinda impressive that it looks that much like the G1 version especially in alt mode!

[@albertrex6851]

11:44, his is so big . It should be Big Gray C*ck or BGC

[@conflicthorizon]

The boxy part is a radar, more than likely to guide the huge-large missile.

[@moorhen6156]

I don't thinks it is mate as he fires ICBM's which I'm pretty sure guide them self's, I'd say that's an active protection system linked to the smoke launchers

Yep, Mascot’s comment is a bridge too far

A great update to the G1 toy and that little square is a Radar of sorts, I would of love to of seen a Skit with him and counterpunch/punch meeting on both sides.

[@redprime3210]

That sounds like a full feature movie I'd love to see

[@catman9985]

I've watched multiple reviews of this toy, only you, emgo, gave a sufficiently detailed explanation of the transformation that I could do it. Thank you! This thing was frustrating as hell, my first copy popped a knee joint and the leg fell off. I had to return it for a new one. Those legs needed a better joint design! Never stop the meticulous, detailed transformation descriptions.

[@ceruleanblu3184]

27:07 Good heavens, the G1 version has a big head!

Ha ha ha, that end skit was filled with "double" the fun, thank you Emgo for being the best "dealer" of end skits in your Transformers reviews. :D

Doubledealer is a mercenary not a decepticon

I think you are the only reviewer who has found out a use for the engine part. He is the my next must have figure I have Jetfire, Optimus Prime (Earthrise) and Sky Lynx

[@PhoenixFyre]

PrimevPrime showed it in his review as well.

[@Marneus28]

Patriot Prime showed it as well. He also showed that you can turn the chest piece around in robot mode and have Knok showing with the engine piece plugged on him so you can get the full G1 attached look. XD

[@Scrapyard24c]

11:43 I personally like to refer to that as his (ahem) "Screaming Eagle" mode.

[@SkyFireDrone2022]

“Totally over-compensating for something..” 😆 But seriously, I love your vids because they are both funny and informative. The instructions with these toys are sometimes hard to understand so from one original TF Geek to another: thanks, dude! 🤓

There’s so many transformers I can’t mmmm keep count

[@Cobra-Commander83]

Mascot: More like DoubleCrosser Me after reading Spotlight Hot Rod: Ha, got im!

Literally just bought this toy and I'm excited that it's actually leader sized this time around rather than a voyager class figure with extra parts!

Ah yes, the figure I almost got if my Target wasn’t so stingy.

[@MisterMaster4life]

Thanks for sharing! Great stuff. The engineering that goes into these Transformers is quite freaking amazing. Used to own a lot of G1's. Thinking of getting a few earthrises. They remind me of my old G1's.

[@myriadmediamusings]

Watching this again because of the announcement that Doubledealer will feature in the Earthrise chapter of the Netflix series. Honestly am slightly annoyed because prior to this I didnt know or care enough about the character to pick his toy up. Now I’m reconsidering.

[@petegunion499]

I always thought his bird mode was a vulture. It seemed to fit his character better.

[@kaikalasales8507]

It’s like where I am.theres no any new transformers toys like leader class,and masterpiece

[@Overlord81]

Yeah like here in Italy the distribution is soooo bad...in the stores they are still movie toys and Cyberverse, a little bit of Combiner Wars and Titan Return here and there...but Earthrise, Siege I bought them on Amazon ore Ebay, maybe now with the show on Netflix there will be more effort but yeeeah no way I can find them in stores(even big stores, comic stores forget it! You can find some masterpiece but they're insanely expensive)

[@chameleon147]

I'm surprised you didn't split the missile for his bird mode. Still a pretty sweet figure!

[@williamwilkinson8289]

He is also in Transformers Earth Wars video game on IOS

[@FrostSoul-qs6kq]

Me : Buys it for 100 dollars not including 50 to 60 in shipping ... Kid stalking my house : I'LL GIVE YOU 5 DOLLARS FOR IT ! OR I'LL TELL MY MOM TO TAKE IT FROM YOU !

[@caseysshenanigans708]

I know Leaders have been getting smaller lately, but....COME ON. Edit: It's freaking Double Dealer!!

[@matthewelliott7294]

If they made any bigger he would have been commander class. Leader class is like somewhere between commander class and voyager class (although it is closer to voyager class).

[@caseysshenanigans708]

@@matthewelliott7294 Yeah, but *still*

[@notrod0918]

Matthew Elliott Actually leader classes are smaller than commander classes. Commander class figures are about the same size of a combiner wars combiner.

[@elliottmoody1983]

The old leader classes were way better. They used to be the size of commander classes.

[@DarkdustDragon]

I'm not a huge fan of the downsizing of Leaders either, but at least Doubledealer here is actually slightly taller than Optimus and Megatron AND he's much more massive. There is actually extra plastic in the figure, as opposed to Astrotrain who needed an entire folding plastic box to justify his price point.

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Fantastic updated figure. Accessories all make sense and have genuine purpose, and I like how technically the bird wings would work in bot mode giving him the appearance of an arch angel. Only additional detail I would have added is the the red to bring out the wheels more. Those shorts at the end never get old. Long time fan of the additional humor/effort.

[@localblackman25]

I’m addicted to the double bloooossshhh

[@michaelbennett5821]

Two things: 1.Are the tiny missile racks bloosh compatible? 2.I was expecting the ending skit to be something very similar to potp punch-counter punch Thanks for something a little different Emgo!

[@devinleber5604]

I like to imagine Doubledealer is like a reverse Punch/Counterpunch. Whereas Punch is on the Autobots side with a Decepticon robot mode, Doubledealer is a Decepticon (with a humanoid robot mode) that can change his signature to any Autobot sensor system.

[@genomcyber7731]

I was so happy to get this one. Although... Fake Leader class. He should have come with his powermasters. He is a voyager size , not leader. the thing you dont know at 3:48, is a radar signal scanner! The powermasters are actually more fun on the original G1 then here. :/

[@michaeljavier870]

Optimus: That symbol you wear; You are of the Mercenary faction? Doubledealer: There are no factions here.

[@heavyhitter5538]

Skar can be plugged underneath the ramp in vehicle mode for a hidden/ cleaner storage

Literally have been looking a different versions of this character and Emgo drops this video in xD

Every time u do the intro I have it in my head and I say it every time it is so fun thx for the last 6 years of u I love your channel thx
