Fansproject Warbot Assaulter - Vangelus Review 160

Making the Warbots into a trio, the broader side of this beefy bot brings a buttload of...bie-cast...betal?
Vangelus.ca

[@AbachyBaby]

The battleship mode looks helluva like a Nahel Argama, White Base and Archangel legged ship of great shipness .

[@Bumphuk]

I like how in the jet mode you can fold out the axe blades to make thruster effect parts. Not sure if it's official but I thought it looked cool.

[@Ravenfellblade]

Having been playing with Assaulter for two weeks now, I am in awe of just how much value is packed into the figure. I cannot stress this enough: if you have even a passing interest in Assaulter, BUY HIM! Buy TWO, and then buy both sets of Reprolabels so you can have both a Broadside, AND an SDF-1/Valkyrie that is more than adequate an homage to each. Best third party TF to date. GET HIM!

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

Does junkions sre never coming are they? Some one should do a retrospective for every unreleased "third party" figure

[@BatMan362100]

Actualy the holes , where Asaulter's jet wings plug , on his hips have to be scraped a bit on the inside wich does makes the tabs plug a lot easyer and still have a good grip on the slot so the whole toy does not explode .

[@b3caus3]

i was sold on this guy at seeing only the jet mode back in proto. Good to see a return (even if just for one bit) of Vangelus's ad lib reviewing..made me smile like a man gain.....wut?

[@ThomasAtlus]

I wouldn't say it looks like Macross. I'll have to agree with some other commenters, it reminds me more of the Argama, White Base, and such.

[@pittypolyphonic]

have you basecoated them yet?

[@jetseekers]

Looking back after 10 years, it's almost comical how much better looking and asthetically executed this is compared to the Titans Return Broadside. Like, even if this does have 3p quality issues, id still prefer this over the official offering s

[@mikestrike4212]

Glad to see you're back in business Vange1us, I've missed your reviews but now your back in business so all is well in the world once again, well this world as never been well so forget what I just said

[@Ravenfellblade]

Thanks, Vange1us! Your reviews convinced me to buy my first two 3rd party Transformers, Warbot Assaulter, and Perfect Effect's PE-12 Assault Force X ( based on your review of PE-11). Cannot wait to get them!

[@BatMan362100]

I found out after i sao some extra paint inside the slots and i scraped that paint on the inside if the slots and it worked and a lot of friends did the same think and it still worked ( that is a general thing of this toy )

[@mineredgar9225]

In the minivehicle sprue there is a Steel Core, with the trailer! How long have they been planning it?

[@Levitz9]

I love the Macross mode. I think it's the coolest mode out of all of them. The weapons look like they ought to turn into energy swords as opposed to a pair of tonfa, but that's just me being nitpicky. I like them all the same. I have a question, though: what model of Starscream is the one being used in the video?

[@catamonga3837]

Hmmm does the boat float?

[@joshtimasprime]

What is that background when you're showing off the battle ship mode? It's cool and I want one! Please respond sir.

[@isuckatusernames4297]

10 years later, and now I finally have the ability to biy one bit as far as I see, he's super expensive and only available on ebay, a shame really

[@OptimusShr]

I'm surprised the subtitles didn't say anything about that broadside pun at the start of the video.

[@TheBeardedStranger]

Great review! Sold me on a figure I've been quite unsure of for a while now... Loving the chain bases as the background. A can of Testors dullcote will make those go a long way towards not being so shiny.

[@DnycAlchemist]

Vange1us it is so good to have u & your reviews back....

[@JnAStudios]

I hope they continue this series and make a Beachcomber homage

[@danielbrant6740]

Surprised you didn`t comment on the Roadbuster-looking robot that was in the stasis tube in the comic. And there wouldn`t be a MP 12 or 14 review on the horizon based on the box I saw in the video? *Bats eyelashes*

[@sashaaurora8983]

I miss this era of Third Party. CHUG 3P was so fun

[@TheMrFiredragonheart]

loved the broadside joke

[@cannonp1]

Could you do a quick follow up and show off the earth mode a little more?

[@DigiKamn]

The jet altmode looks like something out of Gridman.

[@mattmyers998]

Good to see you back Vangelus!

[@jlcarid]

Curious if you'd be getting and reviewing Planet X not omega

[@NearingLight]

Hasbro had to have known about this specific figure

[@artdog0100]

He's alive! !!!

[@ohnoitsandrew9538]

5:33 Annie are you ok? are you ok Annie?

[@T16skyhopp]

The White Base is sad they always leave him out on their coffee trips.

[@MetalSonicMkIV]

How much was this particular piece of awesomeness?

[@Jaytheradical]

I hope that someday when you review Bovis the Feral Rex bot, you turn the "robot cows" subtitle into a link to that video. Also, @joshtimasprime it's a mechanical chain base.

[@IndianaWalsh]

Man, wish I had a hundred bucks to drop on a sexy enormous Broadside. Guess I'll have to wait for the Hasbro version that will never, ever happen.

[@BrassBeetle]

This is beautiful. I don't know why Hasbro/TakTomy won't give us something like this. This doesn't look or feel like some hugely complicated 3rd party collectors item with a bunch of fiddly parts. It feels like how Transformers should have gone right after Cybertron. Big, chunky, articulated, and simple. I love the movie, I love certain figures from the line but I think it took us down a path we are slowly trying to recover from.

[@fsujs]

his guns look like they should fit together.

[@echowing9560]

I am definitely getting Assaulter in the near-future. How near, however, is still the question.

[@copperhead577]

Did you get it

[@echowing9560]

@@copperhead577 Yes, but I have mixed feelings about it.

[@Ryoku1]

That's the Fall of Cybertron Starscream. Vangelus has said he's good but a bit over hyped.

[@stevetheskeltion]

You do know there is now the cromdome figure out now right?

[@mooncake623]

Finally a review!! nice job

[@Mecha82]

I am not much into Warbots but this one I think is awesome.

[@Importdan1]

Welcome back brother! Great review.

[@DraconicDak]

I have to say, this is the first time a FansProject toy has really reached out and made me WANT it. Particularly the VERY Gundamish space carrier. But that price tag... maybe I can paint it into colors more to my taste...

[@queenofslimes2488]

how about them energon cube weapons?

[@misterbadguy7325]

It's kinda sad how this is still the best Broadside toy. You'd think at least one other company would take a crack at it.

[@RobMitchell4]

YEAH VANGELUS IS BACK!!!

[@TheVrevolution]

why does is his vehical mode remind me of gundam?

[@micahzook2626]

I wasn't sold on him at first, but I have to say that, in hand, this is one of my top 5 TFs of all time. Great review Vange1us! Cha-FAANG!!!!

[@spencerbrus6343]

5:34 Looks like he's moonwalking... Nailed it.

[@theMilkproductMk2]

I am loving the new Background :D

[@SomeOtherBots]

Thanks vangelus for an awesome review of this guy- me and my just opened steelcore just watched together

[@crapstirrer]

We mourn the English language today. After 4 years of torture, the torture continues.

[@wampasully7797]

sweet baby jesus how i missed these!

[@skyfire001]

The lean is from Micheal Jackson's Smooth Criminal dance number

[@theastrononeer1211]

How do I get this!!? It's sold out everywhere ;(

[@dyansis02TF]

Great review Vangelus although i'm wholly against 3rd party products and Knock offs .Your reviews have a certain aplomb .Your style is very suave and sophisticated a lot like myself .From one great reviewer to another a big well done

[@karda009]

6:42 Sounds like someone has Beast Machines Blackarachnia PTSD

[@blueberrywine69]

I miss the "robot skits" that led into the next review

[@RiskoVinsheen]

Awww yeah. Been waiting for this review.

[@okiwangko]

watching warbot assaulter's sculpt reminds me alot of kawamori's robot design...

[@zoidiect]

look at those mechanical chain bases ;)

[@shadowflame68]

Man, the English language sure took a beating in this video, didn't it? XD Glad you're back, Vangelus!

[@karda009]

It got beaten into CHUNKS.

[@jonny-not-so-bravo617]

So.... he's like a Broadside version of Punch/Counterpunch, then?

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

More like a punch/punch

[@ideaynojodas]

Vange1us......you rock! It's that simple!

[@LORDVOLCOS]

fragility great word

[@j-frame]

This need to be as big as Generation Metroplex which are 60cm in height.

[@wewyllenium]

Broadside... lol

[@Coboxite]

I really want this guy, but damn this thing is expensive aftermarket.

[@Sirion9999]

this robot is so cool xD ekhm... my inner child squeals every time I see a multiple transformation robot ^^'

[@DWaltho]

*infenate=infinite *designes=designs It's just your opinion - if you don't like the toy, why watch? "Out of the infinite number of videos you could have watched", why pick this one if you don't like the toy. If you didn't know you hated the toy, why berate the video maker - if you really want to complain, complain to the manufacturers - or do you just want to get attention?

[@Bumbleblogn]

oh man i just cant wait to get mine. although, i think the fansproject stunticons are going to win out over this one lol

[@DecayedAndy]

hmmm it does look nice of vangelus one but imma save my money for weirdwolf :)

[@iero39]

awesome review man......the battleship alt mode reminds me of one of those gundam battleships....xD

[@joltster109]

That was freaking amazing!

[@JenniferMulkerrin]

He's really cool

[@blueberrywine69]

thumbs up for Jesus at 3:07

[@CarnageCreations]

Macrossical :P love it

[@DWaltho]

@shredBucketheadshred I was referring more to bad attention, like a troll would want. However, I can see that I must have just caught you at a bad time. I apologise if I insulted you and hope that we can just enjoy Vange1us' video, which is, as ever, very well made. I appreciate that we may have different views on the same toy and might express those views differently, but that we can still be happy that Vange1us is making videos.

[@キーノマサカリ]

宇宙戦艦→空母→ジェット機→ロボット→MAXモードの５種類に変形、出来る？？ 買いたくなるね！！ 一石五鳥ダ～～！！

it looks like the white base from gundam 0079

[@lolitgapuz8127]

where is the autobot symbol of broadside huh

[@sadmemeboi8666]

Lolit Gapuz Third party. They can't use it.

[@AAB-zs5xo]

Ok,here me out.I believe the combination of the secret red face,the coloring on his legs,and the axe modes of the guns make me believe he is based on a Native American.I know in g1 he had an axe and the details on his legs,but it's something to think about

[@misterbadguy7325]

Nah, Broadside had a different character model with a red face in a few episodes.

[@Delfromteamrad]

Heehee

[@Alzeal07]

Meh, titans return is better LOL

[@DerivitivFilms]

Surely you jest? lol

[@automan224]

ΔĿZΞΔL07 it’s useless to us now but much like Warbot Defender at the time this was a fine substitute

[@misterbadguy7325]

@@automan224 I mean, what's useless about it? I'd say it's still a better toy, even if it's not as necessary now. TR Broadside really was not the high point of that line.

[@automan224]

@@misterbadguy7325 that was how I felt about 3P at the time, that they were placeholders meant to hold the fort while hasbro/takara Tony got to work on the real thing Since then the collecting game has evolved to a point where someone out there has a version of a character you like that sits with your preferences I don’t 100% agree with it myself (I’m official all the way)
