Is the Nemesis Bridge Pack worth it? Siege Megatron, Netflix Soundwave and Siege Shockwave Review.

In this episode I compare the Nemesis Bridge Crew 3 pack to their original releases. Is the Bridge Pack worth getting, or should you pick up the original bots?

My guy you do realize that this three pack is produced by takara right? Those jabs at Hasbro are valid (especially for the 5 pack), but aren't really appropriate here. Besides overpriced re releases with more paint apps are pretty much takara's bread and butter. If you want a better megs and soundwave (which let's be honest here, most people want) then we just gotta wait for a new mold from likely ss86. Now let's just hope the designers can get a 'secret' gun mode in there for megatron like they did for Shockwave in siege.

Oops. I have been educated, sir! Thank you. I'm really holding out for both SS86 Megatron and Soundwave. Really hope they manage to get them out before the 50th anniversary! Thanks for watching and I'll be sure to do a bit more research for the next video.

I have the Siege Shockwave myself, and I pretty much have to agree with everything you said. I would have liked for him to be a bit larger, being that he was in the Leader class, but I guess Hasbro in their infinite wisdom thought the extra pieces made up for the $55 pricetag. Still cheaper than the $75 Skylynx, though... I just wish we could get the gun alt mode for Megatron again. I refuse to buy any of the tank mode Megatrons. It's just absurd. I'd even take one with a freaking orange cap on the end of the barrel (though I would immediately paint it the correct color. Shh, don't tell the police!).

Dude, I agree with nearly every word you said. I've gotta tip for you though. It's a nice juicy vague one too! I ran across a mod for megs, that fixes his stability. I did it so long ago, I can't even remember how or what I did. I know I had to disassemble his lower legs, and swap a part between them. I distinctly remember it being easy as hell, and my Megs is very steady on his feet. I got miner megs, as the only other copy of that turd mold, so will need to be doing it again, as the difference is absolutely worth the effort. I thought dude was defective, until I remembered doing that, and yeah, dude's defective lmao. But easy to fix.

@bobstransformersreviews9058 5 ай бұрын

Quite true! I do think the new decos will be the best looking versions of these figures, though. I just don't think it's worth getting if you already own the originals. Dying for a new Megatron and I think you need the accessories with Shockwave to make him truly special. If you don't own any of these figures, though, this set is amazing and good value for money.

@coffeeinhandproductions3238 5 ай бұрын

Honest, to the point and hilarious. Subscribed. I've handled both variations of Megatron in the forms of the G2 release, and Miner Megatron. Miner is by far the worst for the cheaply designed ankle pivots alone as they literally feel like the toy is breaking each time. That and his entire arms pull out almost effortlessly. Though essentially the same toy I'm glad this is using the Earthrise as though not great the G2 is tolerable and is somewhat improved. The real stars of the show here are the Soundwave, and Shockwave though they're both getting individual releases later in the year as a Leader, and Comics accurate iteration of which I actually prefer the bridge pack. May not come with Shockwave's extra bits but at the very least there's a Laser beak, and a throne for Megatron. Too bad for him Neca Homelander has already claimed it.

If you don't have at least two of the four already I'd say yes, but the only one I missed was Shockwave and I'm holding out for the MP (or 3p or at least a knockoff of the MP) of him if I can someday afford it, and making do with whatever the 7" dollar store version that turned into a starship was called until then, because thats all a non-gun Shocky is worth.
