[@hopelessclown]

His comment about the QC stickers is hilarious in hindsight.

[@dominicfeliciano9462]

Name: Bombshell. Faction: Decepticon. Occupation: psychological warfare. Alt mode: rhinoceros beetle. Subgroup: Insecticons. Motto:” The mind is my playpen.”

[@WileyE19]

Spot on as always, another good review, can't wait to get mine Friday.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Nice! Enjoy!

[@TechspexReviews]

Toes down heels up. Working out with Skullface. Awesome review dude

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Hahaha many thanka

[@buttonsmcboom1650]

Wow I checked mine and he had the same issue with the waist. If it wasn't for your video I would have guessed that he didn't have a swivel. Thanks for pointing that out. Dude is heavy too, can't wait for the others.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Thanks man. My pleasure.

[@carlosp.9664]

Love your reviews, appreciate the unfiltered honesty! I got this guy on his way and can't wait and totally get what you mean about the looks vs. feels better. I went for the grey chest because cartoon accuracy feels "right" to me :)

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Awesome man. Thanks for the kind words.

[@eyescovered]

I absolutely love this figure. The tolerances on mine (purple version) weren't as bad as yours. The waist, legs and arms are all good. One of the bug legs was a little squeaky, but that's about it. This is a home run for Fans Toys and I can't wait for their next release. I'm especially looking forward to getting Stomp after seeing those test shot photos.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

That's awesome

[@MrCable75]

nice review mate. ya got both colours, damn you must be ballin lol. hopefully get mine sometime next week.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Lol just couldn't decide

[@M2Brad]

Had this guys for a couple days now and im really loving him,like the usual FT product. My only plastic rub is actually on his head joint because it is toight like a toiger. But other than that, I think these guys really do prove that the mp cars are too short. :/

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Lol glad you enjoy him as well

[@victorysaber77]

To the point, perfect review. Fans Toys is the way to go for masterpieces no doubt. Only downside, are the options they give us. Which version to choose argh! But it's great to have choices.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Absolutely.

[@gazinni7439]

Great review! I also have this guy andi cant wait for the other 2. 😎

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Absolutely. Me too

[@2007suprasport]

These guys look amazing!

[@blammers]

Sorry about your vacation! Hurricane never hurt anybody!

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Lol it's all good

[@8474Starscream]

Nice review man. Ummm yeah there is no comparison cut and dry. Fans Toys for the win period. This figure is like a damn Chagokin robot......SOLID. The likeness is uncanny and its just an overall great Masterpiece.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Agreed

[@mrnobody2174]

I was in for FT rendition but , the more I saw of badcubes bugs they just seemed to click with me better. If you ever get a chance you should def take a look at them! The storm was a mess we're still drying up from the flooding.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

I actually got to look at them in Toronto. They weren't for me, but I'm glad you're happy with them! :)

[@jonv5355]

Daaaaaaaamn you!!!! :D lol I was trying to stay away from this guy, but your review won me over! :( My poor wallet! :'''-0 I'm kind of with ya on the gray over purple - I want to say I like purple better, but I get the feeling that gray would just feel better. I think it's partially because gray feels more like an exclusive (like how TakTom made their Legends Bombshell gray, not purple). But alt form looks a little dull in gray, so it's hard to decide. :/ Bombshell is one of my fave Decepticons, though, so gotta get this guy! :D In any tropical climate, rain helps cool everything off (not to mention how peaceful it can look), so I hope that joke wasn't about any ruined vacation! lol Cause personally speaking, "I'm only happy when it rains!" :D

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Lol yea. This isn't a figure to pass on. It's a figure to embrace ;)

[@johnlant1730]

I have the bad cube. This looks terrific, and will probably get it, but I will say that the badcube does clean up nicer as their Bombshell has no junk hanging off his back. Also no plastic on plastic squeak or tolerance issues. Would like to see you do a comparison video with Bad Cube.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Yea I messed with them in Toronto. Their not for me. But I will be comparing them with Mmc's efforts.

[@ThePenanceStare]

Just watching this today after getting mine at TFCon, and I had loosened the 2 center screws on the hips rather than the back of the body. Loosening the body ones makes it work a lot better than the hips, so thanks for the better fix.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

My pleasure

[@MENASOR81]

Damn Good Review My Friend!

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Many thanks

[@rasmo0753]

only thing you forgot to mention is the sheer quality "feel" of this guy brought on by the fact that he weighs a TON. He must be like 75% die cast at least...weighing in more than alot of other bot 2 and 3 times his size (I've compared to MP soundwave, the seekers, etc)

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Lol. Yea he's solid

[@The_Bulette]

An like magic the QC sticker is back on again at the end of the video, an has no damage or wear just like it had never been removed!!!! It must be magic... hehehehe.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

The maaaaagic of editing.

[@chadwebb1345]

Real G's go grey. Hopefully we'll see some FT goodies at TfCon.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

That'd be nice

[@jgoody8927]

Another great review skully... It's to bad they don't have anymore hopefully they'll be doing a reissue of them! 😀 #getthestrap #doyourjob #thatsafactjack 😰

[@AgtWashingtub]

Good news from 2021!!

[@gallien]

great review 😆 i like FT'S individuality in a MP tepresentation but i found them to be not so toon accurate. Not short and stocky enough. Plus having to choose between one transformation being non toon accurate unless you but both versions. Badcubes hit it of the park for me. everything is G1 toon accurate. But FT'S is still a worthy addition. And everyone needs a swarm 😉

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Great to have options.

[@jackticon5843]

Hey uncle,, im a cartoon acurate guy to a certain degree in this case the purple one wins ,bcause the other guys has it aswel,and its the color of the decepticons, thx 4 review,,funny skit yo,

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Both options are great so that's the good nees

[@chevelle4x4]

grey for bot mode toon accuracy. purple for bug mode toon accuracy. they hit ya twice in this one. sneaky Fans toys...very sneaky o.O

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Lol

[@harryfromwork]

I'm getting both...well would like too

[@-NarbarioN-]

For me, The Insecticons MP are the best of all Masterpiece. Fantastic figure, impressive !!!

[@MythsAndHeroes]

they are amazing

[@Ralphenator1]

If I was more into the insecticons, I would totally get this or the Badcube set. Alas, I only have so much room to display things and my Metroplex is taking up too much room. I really thought CW Bombshell was done really well for the price. I gave it to my nephew as a present, and he has been enjoying it. BTW did Misses Skullface finally show her face in one of your videos? This would have been a first I think.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Lol she's on shadow a bit though. But if you watch solid unit or the making of solid unit closely you can see her

[@dol_mel7487]

skullface have you seen sentinel prime its gonna look so.... ....cool as astrotrain lol gotcha there

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Lol

[@RCCrawlerz209]

I hate bugs...filthy filthy insects! lol

[@MythsAndHeroes]

+Smoke screen lol me too

[@Tombstonecross]

Awesome figure, like this one in purple the most, only nitpick is the antenna on the robot head, extreme fragile, should be better made of die cast

[@MythsAndHeroes]

+Tombstonecross yea you might be right about that

[@lowellmartens6135]

I di wish I would have also grabbed the grey one.

[@lowellmartens6135]

I really can't see these ever really being beat, especially for shelf presence.

[@i.still.function3463]

So I just aquire this guy today (yes I'm late lol) and was totally impress with the build/feel of this figure. I was able to get the grey chest version as I don't see it on around anymore besides the purple version. Question though Bubbeh.! We're the insecticons really that short? My FT Spotter is taller than them.? Anyways I enjoy watching your retro reviews before you became a celebrity lol I'm jk Bubbeh!

[@i.still.function3463]

1 more thing: I'm soo screwed right now bc I can't find the other 2 especially kickback. lol

[@MythsAndHeroes]

lol to the sunbow chart!!!

[@i.still.function3463]

Bobby Skullface L Well I'll be damned.! WTF they are the size of kids lol

[@Starzap00]

Hi Bobby. Would u prefer this over badcube if you were to display him with a masterpiece collection?

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Absolutely.

[@jarison2008]

ohh you didn't buy the badcube ver? ok, was expecting your review cause i went FT as well (purple).

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Yea i passed. Just not for me :)

[@macrick]

I got my hands on this babe! "Insecticooooons, Attack!"

[@MythsAndHeroes]

+Alex Nice, Enojy!

[@ogrefade]

Do you ever regret pulling off the stickers on these guys after most leave them on now days?

[@ShellshockDM187]

Hey Bobby, just want to know if you can help me with a little advice for me pls. Do you know how I can make the ball joints a bit tight, coz my fansproject Bombshell has a loose shoulder, and my Shrapnel has a loose hinge. Is there a way to fix this?

[@gregformercy]

future floor polish or careful super glue. look it up before trying.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Yep. What Greg said.

[@ShellshockDM187]

Tx both of u :)!!!!!

[@dol_mel7487]

with titan's return line getting a new titan class Fortress maximus i am goping that fort max will get his title of being the tallest transformer ever back...

[@MythsAndHeroes]

I'll be waiting for maketoys.

[@dol_mel7487]

skullface is it bad that I find it funny that people when they get a broken or messed up figure by an online retailer they don't call the retailer to get a replacement figure?

[@MythsAndHeroes]

They certainly should.

[@dol_mel7487]

i tend to like modern bombshell's look over his g1 look :/

[@MythsAndHeroes]

To each their own.

[@dehumanizerlord6225]

i ve seen both fantoys grenadier and badcube hypno, though grenadier looks by far more awesome, badcube's hypno has that thing of chest color changing like he actually does in g1 cartoon. so i am actually confused which one do u guys think that looks more similar to g1 cartoon

[@MythsAndHeroes]

+Dehumanizer Lord ive manipulated both, i, personally, was not interested in buying the badcube bugs after messing with them

[@shinre]

I have the Grey version of grenadier. Does anyone know or have anyone replaced the faux gun on his head? I can't find the instructions that came with the replacement.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

shinre it's been so long since I've looked at it

[@MrCable75]

hey Bobby, i was just watching this video again and i noticed that you misspelt the title lol. it's Grenadier. i know i'm being one of them arsehole spell check commenters ;)

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Fixed. Thanks dude. Phonics life lol

[@MrCable75]

+Bobby “Skullface” Skullface L lol

[@booksy1a]

u like the goo in ur face not on ur figures

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Lol, or just not at all, either way. ;)

[@booksy1a]

just giving u shit thanks for all u do bro

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Yea man I know. It's all good. My pleasure. :)

[@mymovietube]

Badcube is more toons acurate

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Idk if I agree. But I handled both and much prefer the ft. However if you're happy with the badcube then I'm definitely happy for you. I like badcube in general so I like to see them supported!

[@mymovietube]

I like the fanstoys I just didn't like the slappy back of it
