[@Slayershoop]

Can confirm he actually yelled about it, over many a Discord chat....loudly

[@Slayershoop]

Also, what seems aerodynamic is not actually...we did a whole podcast about this

[@vriderch1360]

The Good: I think this is the best Windblade figure ever, and I'm someone who likes the original and "RID15" versions. The Bad: I wish "Cyberverse" Chromia and Shadow Striker were as show accurate as this was. The Great: This review.

[@RoninX33]

I have had this figure since release, and I never realized that the fan can be held like that. WOW!!

[@Vangelus]

knowable~ I spent all this time either not knowing or immediately forgetting that her shoulderpads can click up slightly until a comment earlier mentioned it

[@RoninX33]

@@Vangelus This figure is pretty the top tier Windblade outside the sword

[@Pikminer-5087]

It took them like a decade but I am so happy to finally have a solid deluxe Windblade toy at mass market retail.

[@tyjohnson7616]

You had the shoulder pads miss transformed they can pop up and then they go back down for vehicle mode

[@Vangelus]

oh cool! +3 to her final score 🎉

[@danielbrant6740]

I was not aware Windblade's turbines are _BLOOOOOOOOOOSH_ compatible! This is awesome news! 😁

[@Vangelus]

yeah I thought I'd seen it on instagram, and when I tried it at first they fell off, but when I pressed in and twisted they juuuuust gripped on enough

[@TheRealTHD]

I'm pretty all right with the nosecone and leg convert steps being reused a lot - Classics Cyclonus did it so damn good and made his ship mode so sleek that I'm okay with seeing it reused on all the other jets.

[@harrisonwhaley7872]

I love that you actually put her in perspective of the greater Cyberverse Deluxe line. I feel like a lot of people skipped on them and it’s nice to see her uniting with her homies

[@acicon]

Now I want to see Vangelus review the Cyberverse Adventures figures. Just finished that show recently and thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@Levitz9]

I missed out on the Titans Return Windblade (and her chunky proportions left me indecisive) but I like that this is a Windblade toy that irons out most of the wrinkles that her design tends to have. She has her actual colors, not a black chestplate! She has feet she can actually stand on! This toy remembers her comb can be used as a fan! It's a shame her sword doesn't have a normal blade (or a sheath, like her original), and I'm *still* begging Hasbro for a Windblade with a Saren Stone-style face (even if this one looks pretty great). But yeah, I'm happy with this Windblade. And with the Bunnyvangelus code I can even get the Reprolabels so she can have her weird "nosecone-face" colors like in the Saren Stone comics! Also: At 8:16, Windblade is now a cone-head! XD Thanks for the great review, Vangelus!

[@MrDoctorVK]

Yeah, for some head scratching reason back in Cyberverse hybe, Hasbro just didn't do Deluxe Windblade. Hell, they didn't do Shadow Striker as Deluxe yet she was quite prominent in whole show run. Good chunk of characters that were prominenty in CV cartoon didn't get good Deluxe toy which is crime from Hasbro which they are now trying compensate by releasing CV characters in Legacy. Ironically while Legacy Evo Bludgeon is meant to be IDW rebooted comic Bludgeon, he strikes more as Cyberverse Bludgeon.

[@tyjohnson7616]

With the duel back canons it reminds me of rid15 Bludgeon

[@MrDoctorVK]

@@tyjohnson7616 On which CV Bludgeon is based on.

[@ZachDy-xg9it]

@@MrDoctorVK And you're probably wondering why _Cyberverse_ Bludgeon was a bot of no words. My head-canon? Bludgeon was sent by Unicron as a spy among the Decepticons, and thus wouldn't speak unless he was in the presence of the Chaos Bringer.

[@Undrave]

Best Windblade Hasbro ever released!!

[@xyznihall]

great video

[@Guatdefook]

Calling it now. We need a Legacy Ironfist and a Legacy Omega Speem.

[@mattr75]

I need to pick this figure up at some point along with Tarn, Silverbolt, and Tigerhawk

[@Bunbiichuffn]

I think, out of all the Cyberverse Legacy characters, of which there are currently 2 I think(?), this Windblade does the job best. Great proportions, fun posing and accessories, and the jet mode is pretty swish. Lots of fun posing her on my shelf with Shadow-Striker and the others. I find myself mostly posing her with Bludgeon though and for the life of me I can't fathom why lol

[@straker454]

I always stand in solidarity with those that suffer from Explosive Nisecone-to-Cockpit Compression. It can be a real hell if done wrong.

[@princeaphan8274]

I'm happy for the fans of her fan seeing it be useful.

[@Doomguy7274]

Also don't tire yourself out keep a steady pace and enjoy your craft/hobby.

[@Vangelus]

in general I will always prioritize my serotonin and joy~ 💜

[@Doomguy7274]

Like I said, not long ago another day another great Vangelus video keep it up homie and know you're one cool and talented dude ❤.

[@NutjobGTO]

Somewhere on the box in Ancient Cybertronian font is "HERE VANGELUS STOP YELLING AT US FOR GOD'S SAKE"

[@det.bullock4461]

I got into Transformers comics whern the Windblade Generations toys had gotten already way overpriced and also appreciated Cyberverse so I waited years for this one. I could do without the waffling in the wings and I too would have liked an alternative storage for the sword in jet mode but for the rest I'm loving this figure.

[@YOLKNESS]

WOOOAH! This is my first Vangelus video and BOY HOWDY is it amazing!! So much detail, so much effort and comedy. I’m not even into this series of toys but I’ll watch you inspect a n y t h i n g. 🤯 🎉

[@Vangelus]

salutations and many thanks!! 🎉🎉

[@EnerPrime]

This figure is great, but I still dream of a Windblade that doesn't have her entire robot torso just hanging out unchanged on the bottom of the plane.

[@SearchmanDS]

Amusing timing because I just opened mine up today

[@Vangelus]

toy twiiiins ✨

[@AdamusPrime24]

Thank you for yelling about Windblade ^^ She's just so dang cool! And I love this figure, so me very happy ^^ Side-note; if they did her in live-action, I think she'd make a very good Red Arrows jet :D

[@musicfighter282]

This is a wonderful figure. My only minor disappointment is that it will likely be retooled into Slipstream when she deserves her own mold that is a voyager and doesn’t cheat the nosecone chest. IMO anyway

[@patrickdavidson9545]

holy shit 2 vangelus reviews in under a week? Are these the end times?

[@NCC-72545A]

There are 3rd party storm fall swords available right now. I got twin litte people swords with a slight transition paint on the blade for my copy, and it looks os good.

[@Doiboy35]

This wave just started hitting my local Targets, coincidentally when they have a 30% off sale on all TF toys. Unfortunately, while I like this figure a lot I'm having a lot of trouble getting it to stand. Something about the heels is confusing me I think.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

Mmmmm, love that taste of *toy not released in my country.*

[@AnhDonoi]

Very nice. I saw her yesterday at Walmart but decided not to pick it up

[@twilightjester5672]

I wonder if Legacy will make any Toys from the IDW universe?

[@TFanPage101]

They have

[@blueraccoon1088]

​@@TFanPage101 some of them are exclusives also

[@TFanPage101]

@@blueraccoon1088 They still made them

[@blueraccoon1088]

Think there's an upgrade kit to cover the mushroom peg turbunes? Would keep them secure and is it wise to crazy glue the fan at the back of the head?

[@Vangelus]

the fan attaches so securely to the head on my copy I can't imagine why one would want to glue that in place

[@blueraccoon1088]

Well it's to secure the fan

[@blueraccoon1088]

I got her 2 Sundays ago. She was the last fembot I needed in autobots. Well unless I count few more for me to make my fembot oc's.

[@Martynde]

I still don’t care for Cyberverse season one or two, but season three is actually decent.

[@trence5]

Soo better than the Thrilling 30's one?

[@Vangelus]

easily for my own tastes

[@danielbrant6740]

With a paint quality that's on par with the Legends Windblade, too! 😁

[@SkullGrin-s7y]

You see the timeghosts, too??

[@Vangelus]

more like I see THEIR ASSES for how much they run away from me

[@lorenzothehandaforlifeplan435]

She hit the gym way too much. Still prefer the first ever release one.

[@SuperFireDagwon]

At least you didn't have to ask Hasbro for a Windblade 24 years to get her, unlike what I went through to get Headmaster Arcee.😂

[@Vangelus]

a streamlined process, built on the back of your hard work!

[@SuperFireDagwon]

@@Vangelus thank you!

[@Ryoku1]

You need to stop making me want toys that are now hard to get. :(

[@jobobbob5825]

Really let down with this one, it's probably the most solidly articulated figure of her yet but it's just a terrible likeness to CV, the search for the ideal Windblade continues. I'd love to see one that uses Saren Stone's art as reference.

[@mrsamaritan6881]

I've been waiting for a good new Windblade for quite a while... this one ain't it.

[@Martynde]

I have Legends Windblade. I don’t need this inferior toy.

[@danielbrant6740]

I have both. Legends is good to display while United is great for play.
