Studio Series '86 Leader SLUDGE: EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff

[@zannusx]

I can't wait to see Swoop in this scale, Hasbro better not skimp on the wing span

[@qwerty5684]

@Ki Key They haven't with these dinobots and most CHUG figures

[@devastatorist]

They will

[@Autobot_Studios]

I don’t think there’s a studio series swoop yet

[@TFCollector1218]

Rumor has it that Snarl is next which is probably a good thing because I wasn’t sure if they would make him or not due to his 3 seconds of screen time in the movie.

[@miragexl007]

You got it

[@punaforager]

The ‘86 dinobots are a joy to transform.

[@TheMagicRobot]

Even if they're just re-releases of the CW (Or better yet, the UW) toys, I hope we get the Constructicons for SS86.

[@allenusison3124]

15:33 The shot of our three Dinobots together is very reminiscent of their very debut, being the original three before they are joined by Snarl and Swoop in the 1984 cartoon.

[@SkyFireDrone2022]

I love that these three are out and they look great together. The leader class price is more palatable when you’re talking about the Dinobots! They should be huge ! And although I still prefer the shiny metallic-looking gold and silver pieces of the originals, this gold coloring does seem more cartoon accurate of the original series and movie. Nicely done. I need to save my pennies!! 🤓

[@moosiefate]

That explanation for the hollowness under the Dino mode makes a lot of sense.

[@petspeoplestuff]

If someone makes 3rd party foot replacement with folding toes, I will order one. It's not a deal breaker without but would be a great option.

I don't doubt we will get an upgrade set with new toes, replacement panels for the rubber pieces and a sword

Dna probably will do something for it

[@SkunkLifeMedia]

I keep saying Hasbro is trying to put upgrade kit maker's kids through college making all these figures that always need some kinda fixes with 3d printed parts after the fact.

[@SkunkLifeMedia]

God I hope we get Snarl....I know he was basically a brief art error in the movie, but he is my all time fave Dinobot and I need a figure of this quality of him.

The choice of rubber seems really weird to me for a part like that... I'll have to see how it is when I eventually get my own. And maybe instead of trying to force everyone to be shorter, Optimus should learn... to RISE.

[@royalchan2002]

😂

[@alexcumming6146]

I'm guessing they had problems with tabbing it in and needed the flexibility. Tf haven't used rubber very often... Monstructor I guess

[@charlesbaxley1572]

My copy is the regular hard plastic not the rubber. Wonder when they changed it over?

[@glennwinkler2715]

I would never get any Transformers transformed if not for you. Thank you. I am a terrible Transformers fan. I HATE transforming them. I LOVE it when they are packaged in the mode I plan to display them in, and don't have to fool with it! But you are my savior when I have to suffer.

[@titan_uranus_0]

I don’t know what Optimus’ problem is; Sludge managed to rise

[@KorossMY]

Not gonna lie but that Wheeljack voice and imitation was spot on!

[@zeusthefox1585]

Now I regret missing Slag. Now I want all of them

[@ztk1138]

I hope they do studio series 86 snarl and swoop.

[@Mikahoopla]

There was a short Q&A with one of the designers of SS-86 Hotrod, and he mentioned that they were planning on getting to all of the Dinobots.

[@skyatollah2skyharder276]

They are. Swoop has a listing, Snarl has been confirmed by a dude at Hasbro.

[@ThirdOfJune4444]

I heard they will release both Snarl and Swoop to complete the set, but there are rumours they won't be Leader-class. Who knows?

[@skyatollah2skyharder276]

[@qwerty5684]

@@ThirdOfJune4444 Every single rumor says that Snarl will be a leader, Swoop is probably a tall voyager

[@Peshi80]

I think it's safe to say that theses Dinobots are the best non-combining Autobot sub-group there is. The Wreckers being 2nd. Can't wait till this Dino starts popping up in US retail (I mean who wants to wait for an Aug pre-order) and get more info on the last two.

[@reven1776]

Was looking forward to this review, and was not disappointed. Figure looks great aside from toe issue in dino mode, but hey still planning to get it. Thank you for the heads up about the rubber bits.

Great review,good figure. And very funny the end..."shrink!""...lol

[@krizilid]

Definitely looking forward to this dinobot

[@ster9k]

Ran this video on the way home from Walmart today with my SS86 Sludge. Looks like a running change, replacing the rubber parts with plastic. Those “body wings” are no longer floppy. Still no pin in the joint. The leg on my copy is better as well. Thought you’d be interested in the update. Thanks for all you do!

[@Macrochenia]

To answer the question at the beginning of the film, Sludge prefers Polonium Pepperoni.

[@BrianGeers]

Curium Capicola!

[@optisprimusproductions]

Just 6 minutes after, and ANOTHER video! That was quick

[@itaqua974]

13:02 no they care of compagny that make upgrade kit and we can assume that, DNA design or other can make a kit with a foldable replacement toe that can full fill the halow belly

[@itaqua974]

and why not a better articulated front legs and articulation in the tail

[@kensappjr7924]

Dude! I absolutely appreciate you so much for these videos! Just got mine today. Got 2. One for Dino mode and the other for robot mode. Thank you again for these videos on transforming!

[@HiddenStrengthTimelapseDrawing]

Ah the G1 Dinobots! Good memories. I was just thinking what the team members would look like if they were built to scale with their extinct counterparts: Sludge would be huge! 🦕

[@jamisonfrey3452]

A fantastic Sludge figure!! Definitely gotta get one. Those Dinobot toes in dinosaur mode look like dinobot udders though lol 😆

[@39Hundred]

Now that you called them udders, I can’t unsee it. 😂 Now, I’m gonna have to go on eBay and order the kit that hides them.

Love it 🥰.. Great review 🌟🤓

[@inkybrixx1291]

Definitely the number one on my summer to get lost!

[@Deined]

Man, Sludge has been pretty much impossible to come by in stores. I go to a Walmart almost every day and he hasn't showed, and Targets are pretty few and far between here in Chicagoland. I might have to try my luck ordering him online, but I probably won't hold my breath on that.

[@GillianMStarlight]

I finally found one at a Target on Sunday, so it's not impossible. I think if they get a few at a time they sell very quickly. Good luck finding one 🦕

[@danielivey562]

One would think there are more Target stores in Chicago since it is just an airplane flight away to Minneapolis/Saint Paul.

[@x-wingflyboy8177]

Just got this today and love it. The leg transformations caught me a bit but its a pretty straightforward process. You said the knee joints were awful on your copy, my hips are somewhat weaker and had no issues with the wing joints, hardly noticed the rubber parts.

[@dyoxxzr66z59]

I was having so much trouble with the tail, I had push down the black leg joints from the inside mid transformation to make it where it would tab together

[@angeltheautobot5797]

Me Gromlock say he still full of beryllium baloney.

[@katanamaru1]

"Leader Class" rubber parts. transformation of toes scrapped. Checks out.

[@michaelpytel3280]

Enough Salami & Bologna - . Sludge would like some Avocado on a poppy seed bagel.

[@latinnaruto199]

Just got my Sludge today and I love it ❤

[@magjag8257]

Good review. I guess the designers used "the budget cut" to provide room for the weapon storage. Not a total loss. But yeah, that underside gap is large!

[@conorburke1999]

I got my copy in Ireland two days ago. The wing connector pieces on mine don’t seem to be as flexible as on yours.

[@redbelladonna668]

Honestly I think you could make your own spin-off type series with the skits you do at the end of your videos. They’re hilarious to watch

[@infinitedarb]

I realize this review was months ago, but I just picked one up from Target and Hasbro apparently swapped the rubber pieces for plastic ones in later releases. Also, the knee joints on my copy are great.

[@BlackHoleAtron]

I found one today at nearby target, and the knee joint that's kind of loose on your copy is OMEGA loose - like he can barely stand loose. And the wings in robot mode are noticeably looser than your copy too. Still like the figure, but posing wise robot mode is truly non-functional out of the box.

[@antiseize11]

Great, i should check my Targets and Walmarts, already fount SS Bumblebee Movie Arcee

I was told the head is supposed to come detached. Doesn't look that way. Someone trying to sell me

[@thelastsaiyan9036]

I bet it's rubber cuz that's where the wings always break. I know the G1 have that problem quite well with Sludge and Slag.

[@39Hundred]

I’m just worried about the rubber eventually deteriorating like with the original G1 figures. Their rubber wheels rotted and fell apart.

[@thelastsaiyan9036]

@@39Hundred mine didn't do that, but I'll be Damned if I didn't lose ONE on each figure. Even when I replaced from another bot.

So I got mine today. Unfortunately, it was raining and all the paperwork was drenched. So I just came here for instructions.🤣

[@GothicDude-mu5qf]

Don't feel left out, I bought a new Battle Armor Skeletor and he had a loose knee joint right out of the box.

[@TheWickedOne5150]

Look for the Q-Tip fix for the knees on you tube. I was like what!?!?

[@DJDroz-tz4qc]

Prime's lucky Sludge isn't smart enough to understand or care what he was doing. With any other Dinobot, except Swoop, Prime would have died again. I like how we're getting the Dinobots in the order they first appeared, which means Snarl should be next but they may need to use a different scene for him?

[@jeremymccloud2580]

I honestly need this in my life!!

[@miragexl007]

Gotta love the no window Box.?. Lol.

[@TheNostalgicTimeTunnel]

I heard the rest of the Dinobots are going to be voyager class.

[@Kuroketsu]

That's fine for Swoop, but they really need to have Snarl be leader like these three. Hopefully they'll come through for us on that scale

[@TheNostalgicTimeTunnel]

@@Kuroketsu Yeah hopefully. It would be ashame to ruin the overall look of these figures. That decision will be a costly one as it will make people doubt Hasbro's ability to deliver on any future lines.

[@enerim19]

Should someone will make an upgrade plastic for that rubber thing.

[@stephinwilliams4384]

Oh I guarantee you someone's already working on it.

[@MrStarfighter14]

I thought Sludge came with googly eyes to reenact when Devastator pounded on him in the movie.

[@tobydunk4284]

I’m pretty sure he’s meant to have gold bits on his belly and back too so the toes hanging out are accurate

[@keithelder2958]

That's not his toes, it's his dinonuts!!

[@patricklove7055]

Just got my copy and mine doesn’t have any rubber pieces on it at all. Not sure why yours does.

[@fadzilhamid736]

I wish, Hasbro and Takara Tomy can create Snarl and Swoop to complete the Dinobot team 😊.

[@tronhowardLTP]

I love how these are looking I'll have to get them myself when I have the money to do so. also no dino "rider" ya!

[@flanneledguitarist9619]

There is a decepticon color scheme for the planet x Vulcan

[@mattloebig6108]

I wish Swoop was leader sized to get more budget into his torso & wingspan. Am afraid voyager may be too small to fully fill out his bot frame to be in scale with the team in bot mode. Plus if they had some leftover budget they couldve put it into their swords.

[@PlatinumPaladin]

What? The. F&*$? So the most pointy part of the figure, a part that often lacks flexibility, the tail, is made of rigid plastic. But the two large hinge joints that the wings connect to are soft rubber??!!! Pure madness. Between them and the robot mode toes not folding up in to the dino-mode torso, there's some serious improvements that DNA Design can make to this figure. Hopefully they're paying attention.

[@ChunkyLover53]

I want an upgrade kit for the toes, replacement rubber piece and possibly a longer neck.

[@ShinGallon]

I guarantee a 3rd party will make plastic replacements for those rubber wing connectors, because that decision is...baffling. Overall he looks great and I can't wait to get him.

[@orcaman8794]

It would be cool if emgo316 remade the Jurassic Park movie but using the Transformers or GI Joes as the main characters and the dinobots as the dinosaurs.

[@gabrielchee8470]

Who knew sauropods could be so fiercesome

[@McLongSausage]

I just tried Transforming this guy for the first time yesterday and all the rachets were good, my problem was I couldn't get the legs/feet to peg under him properly, it looked fine but was not pegged and even though no one would know but me, my slight to maybe not so mild tisim would not allow me to leave him in that unforgivable state and so I had to transform him back right away. I also didn't like how easily his Dino Mode head unpegs from the body, just tilting the neck on the rachet would unpeg it for me which was kinda frustrating as well but I love the figure besides for that, he has a great presence on my shelf.

[@aini6486]

It's seems like Optimus is harassing him😅

[@CuppaLLX]

but can he Kingdom?

[@trence5]

Just got mine today and yep, he was quite floppy as well.

It made more sense on the original toy how the toes were also the gold part on the back. The original toy seemed much better.
