Legacy Leader SKYQUAKE: EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff

[@rociopharmedic6377]

If they release Dreadwing it better be a remake of the "You're my twin" song.

[@The_Jawnski]

YES. PLEASE.

[@returnedtomonkey8886]

There's no doubt they'll release Dreadwing.

[@tsu_kiyomi]

He’s going to be sometime around the end of this year for Wave 4.

[@generationmeca4747]

It already confirm via leak for the fourth wave of legacy évolution.

[@poolstroke858]

@@generationmeca4747 That’s what I’m talking about!!!!

[@TFfangeek]

I hope we get all the potential repaints of this figure released: G1 Skywquake, Prime Dreadwing, Machine Wars Starscream, and Universe King Atlas!

[@nucleonegro9762]

Pretty sure we will, the legacy molds are made to be reused into as many characters as possible after all

[@hazelknot24]

@@nucleonegro9762 Now that’s an investment!

[@ondrejm5042]

I think ill wait for the G1 recolor then.

[@duskbringer4583]

They are SO going to recolor this into Dreadwing.

[@medafan53]

Given that the design is an amalgam of the Prime and the G1 designs they actually have quite a lot of options, namely the G1 colours, King Atlas and Machine Wars Starscream

[@Ironmew05]

It's kinda mandatory m

[@jackofspades3845]

At least it works well for the original mold unlike “prime” arcee

[@heavyarms01h]

@@medafan53 You're right. I'm actually a little ashamed it took me so long to see the resemblance but now that I understand what the designers were doing, I really hope we get a Machine Wars Starscream recolor/retool. I always wanted that version of Screamer when I was a kid and never had him.

[@TyphonMar]

They better

[@noeltan1861]

Me too. It feels like they stop the engineering on the cockpit part as long as it's connected. It feels it can fold better the cockpit I mean and flush at the back even more.

[@YoshikiByankotsu]

just got mine. Apparently the back section IS supposed to sits a bit more flush, but there's a small clearance issue with the gray "arm" that connects the canopy to the torso. It's an easy fix, though, and it requires just a few minutes. I found the tutorial online

[@raydenlord]

Thanks. I just found it too, and fixed mine. I went from feeling like I had wasted $55 to actually liking him.

[@aidanbodayla1366]

What’s the tutorial ? Having issues finding any

[@terogates1]

U actually just need to do the transformation a certain way no modding needed I’m about to try this myself just got him

[@jsj1667]

There was a G1 Skyquake, which was a Europe/Japan release. The design of this Legacy Skyquake jet is very reminiscent of the original design incl. the vent shafts on the upper fuselage, thruster design as well as second canopy at the back.

[@FurySanctuary]

I love G1.5 TurboMaster, Scopemaster, Predator ans Obliterator. I have all. Gimmick are top

[@nucleonegro9762]

Well, hasbro nowadays are making more molds they can reuse into multiple characters to save money and fewer molds for one or two specific characters

[@FurySanctuary]

@@nucleonegro9762 since g1

[@ondrejm5042]

The old gimmics were cool. Pity none was really transferred into this mold. I was wondering why my Snare has this box in his belly and i used it for a hidden storage. Then i saw the big Skyquake and was blown away when experienced the full potential of that gimmic :)

[@googolplex2589]

That poseability is actually really impressive. If Hasbro's starting to experiment with more posable figures, things could get exciting!

[@JROD082384]

Transformers have been reasonably posable for nearly a decade now, and were improved to their current state in 2019 with the WFC Siege line. It’s time you got yourself caught up on things Hasbro has been doing for a while now…

[@SonicTheFrenchHorn]

​@@JROD082384No need to be a dick about it.

[@robertsonparagas3335]

Just realized... Needlenose color scheme seems a bit similar to TFP Dreadwing... Almost thought the skit was either Skyquake hunting him down for daring to copy his brother or wondering what happened to him while he was in lockdown.

[@anshumananandgond6332]

I was hoping to for someone to notice this but the idea of Skyquake Hunting Needlenose for the shenanigan he pulled by being in Dreadwing's colour, would have been funny but Him disrespecting Megatron like that Ooff That's Sigma 101 cause not for Meg's Finding Skyquake sooner he wouldn't have to go through the whole zombie thing.

[@inkybrixx1291]

Got this guy for my bday a few weeks ago, DEFINITELY money well spent! It’s a FANTASTIC figure I now hope we get a Dreadwing repaint to complete the duo

[@nucleonegro9762]

Probably we will, nowadays hasbro is making "universal" molds that can be reused into multiple characters with minimal tweaks so I'm sure we'll get a Prime Dreadwing repaint and more figures with this mold

[@terrestrialwhale2784]

Always a good day when ya upload keep up the good work Emgo!

[@jarodperez4272]

"Hey, man, you're bleeding...!" Skyquake - "I ain't got time to bleed."

[@revananimations5769]

I'm really happy that they have been doing remakes of the primeverse characters because transformers prime was a big part of my childhood and seeing these figures reimagined makes me feel like a kid again

[@JROD082384]

If Prime was your childhood series, I hate to break it to you, but you are still a kid… …no offense.

[@xstube9621]

Hey emgo!, i got my skyquake and checked de backpack situation, i'm convinced that you did nothing wrong and the instructions are right, the problem with the backpack seems to be a molding error in the gray plastic hinge that goes in contact with the front landing gear, the "middle rail" that has to accomodate the landing gear is too short and prevents it from fully colapsing. The fix is to remove a little plastic to make the "rail space" larger, after that everything fits perfectly regarding the backpack

[@frankforttheorangee2produc110]

I think some of us can agree, Skyquake and Dreadwing have the most confusing toys in history.

[@darrenbent7601]

A really cool design. I love the stealth bomber wings on the back of the robot.

[@KewneRain]

I'm cautiously optimistic for Dreadwing.

[@autobotmumblebee9490]

I literally have had him in alt mode since I bought him a year ago because I've heard so much slack about his difficulty. I just transformed him this morning without issue, and had fun doing so. Goes to show, you just never really know until in hand. 💯

[@clam_large]

Oh my gosh. Transformers Prime figures are precious now? I am old.

[@evanrandall7037]

Nice figure 🎉🎉love the sculpt and the alt mode

[@baltousprime7897]

Anubis was the GOAT of the Dark Warlords from Ronin Warriors. So glad you referenced it.

[@AviLlaJohWil]

I just got mine in Wednesday. He is simply STUNNING! I missed out on getting his Voyager release from the Prime R.I.D. line, so I'm extremely happy to finally get him in some way!

[@pawarl.o.s.881]

I can't wait for Dreadwing since I missed out on the original.

[@TheTurnipKing]

*Please* tell me they're going to do a version of this in Predator Skyquake colours. He already has so much of the look, far more than his actual Prime self. He really just needs the weird head and the dayglo color scheme.

[@griffinkimball2454]

I imagine it will be a heavy remold. Like the green sprue on this one would be completely changed

[@TheTurnipKing]

@@griffinkimball2454 honestly I'm not sure he needs a lot, with that big window chest he already heavily evokes the look. I mean I'll take it, if they want to give me more, though :D

[@griffinkimball2454]

That's why I said the green. Because that is where most of the stuff that makes it look like a Prime Sqyquake such as the shoulderpads are. The chest meanwhile is on a transluscent sprue that I do not think would change.

[@TheTurnipKing]

@@griffinkimball2454 agreed. Chest just needs to be cast in the right colour. They could just about get away with minimal changes except for the colours. It's possible they might save the remould for the Dreadwing everyone else seems to be expecting

[@Swiftanium]

Just pre-ordered mines. Glad to see you reviewing it before buying it myself.

[@FatManDan84]

Can you imagine SKYQUAKE getting into a fight and when he goes to do a big boot that he activates his thrusters to burn their face?

[@JROD082384]

*their

[@JROD082384]

And you should have finished with a question mark, because you clearly asked a question, and did not simply make a declarative statement.

[@JROD082384]

Fucking kids and their terrible English proficiency these days. Future kids are going to be fully illiterate in two or three more generations at this pace…

[@kylo-juju3796]

damn quake!!, you didn't have to roast megs like that XD

[@MichaelJones-rz5sw]

Im actually impressed with this one. They could have just used the Cyclonus mold and call it a day.

[@user-vp8sm4lw1p]

"I am Heavy Weapons Guy. And this is my weapon." 14:45

[@BoisegangGaming]

Honestly I would strongly consider getting this if it was released as machine wars starscream because obscure stuff is my jam.

[@JoseFlores-xc7wu]

"I got tired of that zombie life" Skyquake 03/9/23

[@gandalfpotter2149]

I have a pretty bad stomach bug today so I’m just binging your videos

[@davewire87]

It brings a smile to my face every time EmGo says “Evolution!”. Transformers! Kamen Rider! Best Match! Are you ready?

[@davidroche2242]

It's so strange that his elbow parts are different from each other when they seem to function the exact same way.

[@green-legacy]

i love how perfect this figure is!

[@guy_gen]

That skit made me laugh harder than I was expecting...

[@dialNforNinja]

He does look liek a great design, but the olive green just doesn't grab me. Fortunately a blue repaint is almost certain, though the one I'd love to see is Machine Wars Starscream black and silver.

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Considering adding this one to my list for this year. Only ever got the repainted Prime Skyquake, and can't say I was all too impressed with how undersized, and fickle the mold was. Again felt like too much engineering for the little amount of plastic used. Also the mechtech weapons that plagued the Prime Voyagers were awful to say the least. Legacy definitely is an improvement, and I like how this one sizes a bit taller than some of the earlier Leaders which felt barely taller than most Voyagers. Only wish the the shoulders could properly be fixed into place though it still allows for some excellent articulation with the weapons.

[@jlg1362]

i freaking love this figure :') whenever i find him in stores im deffinantly picking it up, anyways how are you?

[@sifakid]

This is fantastic figure. One of the best Leader so far IMHO.

[@RemixOfTheVoid]

Gen selects Undead Skyquake when?

[@kemal2113]

Omg I was waiting for this figure review

[@FennekinTF]

14:52 Skyquake almost has TOO MUCH BLOOOOOSH!! lol. This figure looks really good, but idk if I want him or wait for the eventual Dreadwing, maybe both?? Again, Idk, hes still REALLY Cool tho!!

[@jamesmosesjr7528]

SKYQUAKE LOOKS Very good.

[@roaropgard8575]

Skyqauke:Again??bow to this

[@akmalhadhri3733]

6:20 could be a cool alternate mode on its own

[@skyatollah2skyharder276]

This dude and Needlenose are most definitely getting a repaint each as G1 Skyquake and one of the Predators.

[@BakerPrime20]

great review emgo

[@TheSmashcrash]

finally they caved in and worked on closing in gaps...

[@thenuclearsandwich]

G2 Dreadwing and Smokescreen out of this perhaps. And then a Beast Wars II BB and Starscream?

[@bernardomhidalgoiii7734]

Awesome review. I can't wait to pick up my copy. Now if they only make Sky Shadow in the legacy form that would be so sweet. If this would have been wrestling they would have been my tag team partners. My version of brothers of destruction lol.

[@tobydunk4284]

This is clearly designed in the style of the unicron trilogy, the jet mode especially is so unicron esque era

[@Mighty_Mr_B]

He really needs a companion bot that's an A-10 Warthog that convert into his minigun. Also Skyquake no go BLOOSH, Skyquake go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTT!!

[@CORE1.8MINISTERIES]

I actually never had the opportunity to acquire the original one they made which now I want this one

[@slicerneons3300]

I love it and want All the Repaints!

[@rickschaaf6930]

This is one the figures I really want

[@JM64]

Kind of wish the wings were more flush against the back, it just seems like an awkward gap even if it does help with range of motion. But a nice figure regardless.

[@bdao1593]

Skyquake comes inside the closed box package. He includes a sword and a chaingun which the weapon is based on the Z-6 Rotary Blaster Cannon in the Star Wars series.

[@davidfescenmeyer6471]

Does anyone else think this mould would be great with a color repaint similar to the Turbokat from the series S.W.A.T. Kats? Maybe some slight alterations to the wings and shoulder pauldrons as well.

[@jaelpanzer]

the nose cone does seem like it wants to tuck into the body more, doesn't it? and the nose, cockpit bar, canopy, landing gear, all these armatures seem more complicated than they need to be for what it's doing - which is to just lock the nose cone into the waist. i've also tried spinning the whole nose 180 on the gray bar as another user suggested and everything ~almost~ works: the shoulder pads sit much closer the shoulders and the back tucks in more, but nothing locks into waist so it's unstable. doing it your way looks correct and that seems to be proven by this: the 2 matte green swing bars on the side that bring the wings from the front to the back, on the inner sides there are long, thin tabs that have corresponding grooves on the body of the nose. but they also don't exactly meet unless you raise the body on the slider a bit. perhaps there's another configuration or step that has the back sit closer to the body.

[@wonderfulwalrus5715]

Don't worry emgo zombies tend to have paint blemishes lol

[@emgo316]

This is true

[@whyldefyre6648]

Was that opening a reference to Anubis from the Ronin Warriors? 🤔

[@alvinball4]

Can he also hold his bombs from the SXS upgrade kit for from OG prime figure and can they plug in to his wings?

[@superpixelwarrior6893]

Do the latest QR codes not work for anyone else? I just see an image of RID sideswipe going “uH oH! wE gOt MeGa LoSt.”

[@jaydavis9133]

Love ur reviews bro but there is a swivel joint in the nose cone area that no one is talking about. Why is it there!?!?! It's not part of the transformation. Help us fam lol

[@Barbariandisks]

This figure needs a repaint into machine wars Starscream

[@mattyess5655]

Was the sword in the same bag as the gun for you? I can't find mine.

[@The_Nuuruhuine]

Well if Emgo has him, I should see my Amazon purchase show up in 2 to 3 weeks.

[@MaksimT]

Thank you for this video.

[@Peshi80]

Looking forward to grabbing one of these. I love what HasTak is doing with PRIME characters. This guy will be pairing up with Lugnut as two of Megatron's Warrior's Elite.

[@TheRisingStorm316]

“For the glory of Megatron!” -Lugnut

[@sirpug]

You had the sword backwards in the machine gun. The hilt of the sword is supposed to be facing the barrels of the gun. I don't have this figure, but that's what I think is wrong.

[@wartalon7]

it is good emgo mades this videos because i cant make out the instuctions half the time

[@TheTallGeekGuy]

Definitely gonna be a pick up

[@pavankraja]

Are you going to get the Legacy Dreadwing?

[@josephdolman]

Ordered quite a few transformers including this guy prime prowl and ss scourge and cheetor

[@etalbert1337]

Hey Emgo, just got mine and figured out your nosecone issue, the entire nose of the plane, cockpit and all, twists 180 on the silver arm, near where it attaches to the nose assembly. EDIT: okay that actually doesn't help, maybe thats for an alt transformation using the shoulder pads as waist skirt... weir though

[@AksulKrumpskragga]

Imma be real em, with more kickass junkions coming out in legacy my investment is basically in junkyard robots, rock on hasbro!
