Ham-Man Reviews 2UP - Transformers Legacy United Infernac Universe NUCLEOUS VS MAGNEOUS

[@michaelpapp5518]

0:20 nucular and foilage are the two pronunciation corrections I needed in my life. Bless The Simpsons for this.

[@HamManReviews]

amen brother

[@Gametester110-qf8vs]

I love how both of these guys look. Nucleus looks like a Robot Knight!

[@HamManReviews]

They’re definitely fun, I just wish they came apart more.

[@tommyboy3427]

Like both

[@HamManReviews]

both good

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I'd tend to totally agree, yes the Weaponizers/(whatever)izers absolutely got lazier with each subsequent entry. Doing less, and less every time.

[@HamManReviews]

It's a real shame, Cog and Sixgun were so much fun and actually made your other figures feel like they had a power boost.

[@Gametester110-qf8vs]

Most of the Weaponizers were Awesome figures, regardless of the gimmick being effective or not. Same goes for these cool, New Rock dudes. So it was still a meaningful experiment in the end.

[@CastBeetle]

great review!

[@HamManReviews]

Thanks so much!

[@samthumbleton3386]

Crap... your headcanon is now my headcanon. And now I have to buy a few of these infected bots.

[@HamManReviews]

I live to give

[@galaxycamerata]

I love Nucleous's whole design because he feels like a "final living witness" character to one of the Thirteen. I can imagine this guy guiding the Autobots through the tomb of Prima, carrying his big old jet torch to light their way down a dark corridor.

[@TFfangeek]

Outstanding review Ham-Man!! I cannot decide which is the better figure, Nucleous or Magneous, since they are both great Transformers and Rock Lords. lol :D Keep on being amazing.

[@HamManReviews]

Thanks so much my dude! I think I prefer Magneous but I flip flop.

[@TFfangeek]

@@HamManReviews You're most welcome my friend!! 😎👍

[@carloblanch3893]

I haven't pulled them apart yet, (although I did just get Lockdown, who is absolutely famous for wearing other bots so...) but I do love the Infernac Armorizors. I love that Shard is Deathcrystals. I also love that Nucleus is from Nucleon and is supposed to represent some sort of steroid abuse

[@HamManReviews]

The deep cut rock references do add an extra layer of novelty

[@dubuyajay9964]

I made Shard's body into a giant rifle for Shadow Striker.

[@michaellombardi1620]

Yeah, I was surprised how early I found them in Australia. I still haven't found Gears. I was dissapointed how little you can do with the weaponiziging, but I like the look, especially for the other one; Shard

[@HamManReviews]

That’s kinda where I ultimately landed, like the look disappointed by the amorisong

[@AsheBailey]

I'm Rocklord old school and wish these became solely rocks but far more functional weapon- and armorizers. A blue recolor for grey guy is coming out.

[@HamManReviews]

Yeh with Thundertron, mine hopefully shipping as we speak!

[@jaymcc845]

Nucleus's visor and and magnius grey skin are both giving me trabsformer bebop and rocksteady vibes

[@HamManReviews]

Don’t forget his Mohawk!

[@prophet924]

You’re head cannon almost makes me want to buy these. It definitely fixes the disconnect I feel in the overall design. It’s all rocky bits stylized or it doesn’t work for me. The robot shapes and “vehicles” are interesting but rubber and rock don’t mix. This being a rocky disease taking over a Transformer making them sparkles zombies only wanting to expand as rock do. That’s brilliant. Maybe. Maybe I buy one and fiddle with it. I liked the Fossilizers more. I want more of those that they teased. Sabertooth and Croc, where are ya?! The Junkions are cool too. To me they aren’t weaponizers as much as combiners to make cooler tricked out boys and vehicles. I bought all them like the Fossilizers. This idea had potential. They needed you on marketing. I think more would have sold.

[@HamManReviews]

I'm just glad that my personal canon was compelling enough to tempt you to dabble with the subline. I'm still waiting for the Polarclaw from the concept art

[@metroplexstudios2406]

My idea of nucleous is that is a part of some Royal guard

[@paulkleman1392]

Now you can do a 3 way with Calcitron - essentially a blue variant of Magneous with a derpy head sculpt.

[@HamManReviews]

He feels like the kinda dude who’d wait til These two finished and then attack the winner while they’re battle weary… maybe eat the loser

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

Neat little guys, they're giving me similar vibes to Cecil from FFIV going from dark knight to paladin. I do wish there was more to the gimmick of fossilizers as well. Don't give me wrong, it doesn't make them bad figures (especially Shard is amazing as far as I'm concerned), but they really don't lend themselves to all that mugenbine lite combining\cutsomizing goodness the same way their predecessors do. What I'd like to see from future Fall Apart Friends figures is maybe introduce the Pretenders, a Bludgeon that can form samurai armor for other bots would be amazing (bonus points if he also comes with his inner robot as a core class figure you can place in his chest cavity or something). Some of the Action Master exo-suits turned into straight-up Weaponizer characters would also be neat.

[@HamManReviews]

I’d love some robo beast that come come apart to be animal themed ARMOR like the tmnt metal mutants

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

@@HamManReviews Hell yeah, imagine an Octopunch who can lend his tentacles to his fellow 'cons!

[@LLERRED3]

🤖I don’t typically buy modulators …armorizors …accessorizors …weaponizors or whatever the latest term is but I do like the look of these guys…and gals. Actually Shard was going to be the only one I picked up but I consistently got cold feet right before purchasing, even during the sales. When this white version was announced I thought about my lack of a Runamuck and Runabout but lamented owning two identical molds with a color change. (All g1 bots that do this are forgiven because g1). But now I see there’s a noticeable difference so I’m back in!😁

[@HamManReviews]

Boom! That’s the spirit

[@dialNforNinja]

Buckaroo Banzai's rocket truck but it's pina colada flavor rock candy was my own thought on Nucleous's alt mode. I like the 50s movie robot vibe to his mechanical components, too, it's like something out of a pulp sci fi novel's cover painting. My own head-canon for where at least some of these guys come from is a "lost"/secluded enclave discovered by Miner D-16 in the depths and persuaded to help with a worker uprising to let them all escape the corporate thumb and get up to see the surface. The only sticking point is Rockspinator, who has a... special relationship... with space, time, and mortality anyway, so there's wiggle room there. "Wazzpinator was tired of getting zzmoozshed by falling rocks. Now Shard zzmooshes YOU!" Oh, you still doubt? Tell me who else has this fall-apart-into-bits play pattern in Transformers media... 🙃

[@HamManReviews]

Oh man, anytime you can reference Buckaroo Banzai you know it's a winner. Totally agree on the waspinator front, it also works for my head canon that way.

[@casualknight8962]

My head cannon for these Infernacs that they were once cybertroniens that had long since perished and eventually the Quintessons found the bodies and in their twisted ways started experimenting on them which resulted in there robots bodies becoming more organic in appearance thus making a new work force but unfortunately for the quintessons a small fragments of the original host remained giving the infernacs a new life of their own though sparkless the Infernacs had free will of their own and like many others before them rebelled againts the quintessons and gained their freedom until the decepticons found them and seeing the Infernacs as abominations they went on a crusade to exterminate them but luckily for the few survivers autobots lead by Star Saber pushed the decepticons back and helped the remaining Infernacs find a new place ro live peacefully until Thundertron and his star seekers found them and now seeks to capture them for their unique abilities to destroy cybertron .

[@HamManReviews]

I always enjoy hearing other people’s head canon. I can imagine thundertron capturing them as cargo to sell to shockwave or Jhaiaxus
