Legacy Blaster is PERFECT | Transformers Legacy Blaster Review & Analysis

A religious experience
Show Notes:
I really felt the limitations of my video making process with this one
There's so many aspects I don't like about this video. The camera work, the lighting, the editing. I'm trying to find ways to fix these problems and get these videos in a position where I'm happy with them

I couldn't believe that the 2nd pair of speakers on his legs rotate to a different mode. That shows the love and care put into these modern iterations. All shock, no talk.

[@Gei4Mei]

Yeah its a great detail!

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

Really like how Blaster's handles are implemented into his shins in a way they don't hinder his ankle tilts. It's one of my only gripes with Kingdom Galvatron, as the little support pieces he has in cannon mode limit his ankle articulation when properly transform. Of course you can have full tiltage if you have them flipped out in robot mode like a some sort of robotic version of Hermes' ankle wings, but it would've been neat if the pieces had a hinge joint in the middle so they can bend with the ankles. Maybe one day I rectify this issue myself once I get more confident at molding parts out of instamorph.

[@Gei4Mei]

Thats what I’m saying, its really neat. I never really noticed that on Galvatron, I guess I didn’t play with it enough

[@HerohammerStudios]

You sure you have him transformed correctly? Never noticed the issue myself

[@mpregmafia]

i seriously hope we get some cassette bot packs for this guy, same for the new soundwave

[@publicprofilename4273]

I also use his weapon as an antanna in alt mode. And, people who fuss about the tape being clear makes no sense to me. How many clear casettes vs solid colored casettes were around in their time? Clear tapes were FAR more common. You don't fuss about this, but like EVERYBODY else does.

[@Gei4Mei]

I bet most people don’t remember or just don’t even know

[@optimistprime3192]

Most complaints I see on Eject being clear is about the longevity of the plastic as clear plastic is known to break easily when under stress, especially with ball joints; considering most of Eject’s joints are ball joints, I don’t blame them for their concern. That being said, Eject feels pretty sturdy in hand, so long as he’s not manhandled like a child he should last a good while.

Blaster actually does have molded play/stop/ffw/rwd Arrows but theyre on top of his button

[@Gei4Mei]

I know!!! I didn’t notice them until I was editing lol

[@garganrose]

they really dropped the ball on releasing this figure with those windowless open packages. It took five finds before I could find one that still had eject with him. I get the feeling some people are stealing the little eject so that they can repaint it into rewind. I really hope Hasbro puts out the rest of blaster's cassette team.

[@CardboardBots]

Also... lovely thumbnail. Love me some robotic religious reproduction iconography.

[@Gei4Mei]

I do too, I think its kind of funny. The thumbnail was one of the first things I came up with for this one lol. Thanks for checking it out 😉

1:27 Looking at my copy, the buttons do have labels! They are sculpted on top of the button(s) and go from left to right: Play, Rewind, Fast Forward, Stop

If what I saw at 2:24 is what I think I saw (and it's hard to tell), Kingdom/Legacy Blaster still has labeled buttons...the symbols are just sculpted directly onto the buttons as opposed to below them.

[@Kaizer617]

I have both this version and the Twincast repaint. I love them both! Especially since I'm a fan of Japanese-exclusive versions of characters, the difference in the head sculpts (the Twincast version has the best expression between the two), and I am so happy to have both Rewind and Eject. Now if only we could get versions of them that aren't made out of clear plastic.... Or the rest of Blaster's cassette. Steeljaw, Ramhorn, Sundor, and Strips, specifically. I mean, they have the molds for Laserbeak and Ravage, just repaint them into Sundor and Stripes! Make a Buzzsaw while their at it! Seriously, why have they not done this?!

[@Gei4Mei]

I dunno, they might make them for SS86 cause they’re gonna repack Blaster this year (without clear plastic I’ve heard 👀)

1:21 actually if you want better weapon storage integration then you can plug blaster’s…blaster into one of the ports on the left or right of his back, making it look like an antenna for the boom box mode, this helps add something more to his glorified brick mode, at least for me. Also I got the idea when I saw the reveals for the Blaster repaint that they’re making for legacy evolution, in which they did that exact thing.
