“The pull out method never works” Dr. lockdown 2024

[@DrLockdown]

Am I wrong?

[@crumplezone4286]

Not at all 😂

[@Mazinkaiser_Studios]

He ain't wrong

[@grimlocktheking2010]

what a treat two videos in 1 day

[@DrLockdown]

I uploaded the last one yesterday on my end

[@MeowsclesPrime]

@@DrLockdown yeah, but like me, on his end, it was both in the same day

[@I-Minecraft-428]

Yeah it's 1 day for me❤

[@SirRoxy]

just picked up my classic class op from blokees thanks to you and the giveaway, idk if youll see this or not or the many others ive left but thank you so much, i cant overstate that

[@TheAutisticOwl]

9:16 That feels like a good scale and size difference Ive always loved the idea of Astrotrain being bigger

[@QueenStodge]

He looks so clean, straightforward to convert, and really lovely in all modes

[@Groovetwig]

I’ve been wanting to know what you thought of this guy for the last year! So glad you covered him.

[@soupschannel]

two videos in a day??? how fortuitous!

[@awesomeguy9513]

I got this and their blitzwing on a legends binge wanting something triple changer and they delivered. Astrotrain just works in all modes they all look nice and transformation is fun, I’m looking to track down the octane to complete the set but they also have what looks to be an evalgalian inspired conehead set in the works which I’m curious on

[@daltonwilliams1723]

I love their blitzwing included and animated inspired head. I got the black repaint so I can have a version with that head permanently on

[@rascallymanx8947]

@@awesomeguy9513 wait wait wait They have a what in the works?!?!?! SIGN ME UP

[@PallysCafe]

I hope you don’t mind me making a chronological order (oldest to newest) Playlist of your videos because i enjoy watching how you’ve improved marathon style~

[@Opthomas_Prime]

such a wounderful figure, i got one and painted the wheels on mine to make him look better

[@QuinTheQuesadilla]

A couple things: They included a partsformy piece for that gap in the train mode that acts as a chimney or something, idk if that was only on the later uses of the mold though. I personally don’t use it, it looks fine without and I don’t like partsforming. It does act as a 5 millimeter flight stand port in shuttle mode though. This might have just been an accidental mistransformation, but you can push the two panels in the front of the train that act as the bottom of the feet all the way through to make the face smoother. The hips can move forward straight, it’s just a weird indent where you have to push a little harder. You actually did put him in the honorable mentions of the 2020 list.

[@DrLockdown]

Oh oops. Forgot. Also mine never came with a partsforming piece. Weird

[@TheWildRobotHypeFan2025]

2007 Megatron No, I want 2 videos!

[@geo-fry6372]

Right now I’m pretty happy with my g1 and siege Astrotrains. However, as an autistic aerospace engineering student, I might just buy any cool Astrotrain figure I see, and this one looks fantastic

[@rhyperiorhunter7339]

honestly the robot mode on this doesn't even look like it transforms

[@MrProudhon]

Sweet double whammy

[@izamanaick]

id love a galaxy shuttle recolour white and black spaceship as a core scale triple changer. it could be my main fiddle toy

[@DrLockdown]

They kinda did that with toy colours astrotrain. There is a variant that's close, but the head isn't quite there.

[@animeking1357]

I don't have an Astrotrain. I think this is the one I should get. He just looks like an upgraded G1 figure.

[@MellowGaming]

This one looks rad. Don't think I've seen it in detail before. Just the odd image. The transformation looks pretty much fiddle-worthy levels of simple.

[@FONTANAFILIPPO-zo7xs]

Looks like magic square aesthetic

[@Hernan255]

Ulalaa

[@phage7389]

The only problem I have with this is the thruster falling off other than that it's what got me into legends collecting

[@rascallymanx8947]

Love this guy and thier blitzwing, still got to track down thier Octane though...

[@DrLockdown]

Octane is pretty good, but he's probably the weakest of the three. I should have him out in a couple of days.

[@rascallymanx8947]

@DrLockdown I agree, but something about how derpy the figure is just fits the character so we'll. Any chance you've got their autobot triple changers too? (Sandstorm and Springer)

[@DrLockdown]

@rascallymanx8947 afraid not. I have their first springer, but not V2, nor sandstorm

[@henry605]

“No, I want 2 videos!”

[@MeowsclesPrime]

yippee

[@robertban871]

fanstoys astrotrain is pretty good, but its one of those over complicated masterpiece designs

[@Pamjamelia]

...Was the purple nail polish for this review an intentional choice, by any chance? I should try MFT at some point, this little guy looks utterly delightful and I hear their stuff is good. Though I also gotta try Dr Wu, and now I know they're one and the same!

[@DrLockdown]

The colour was not.

[@Pamjamelia]

@DrLockdown Well it looks gorgeous anyhow, and fits with the subject of the video!

[@blackstone1a]

was that fucking Galaxy Express 999 on the screen at the start?

[@DrLockdown]

Eyo what the fuck I genuinely did NOT think anyone would catch that.

[@aci6737]

Would you count the upcoming Dr. Wu Broadside as another Legends triple changer? Yes it scales with legends if you go by toon scaling, but it's voyager sized and scales with CHUG going by relative toy scaling (that just being all the triple changers being the same height) I'd say a figure like Iron Factory magnus, the newer one, is still a legends fig because despite being voyager height he does NOT scale with anything besides legends, but Broadside is a bit more ambiguous

[@DrLockdown]

It would, but that's been announced so long ago with no update that I'm not sure it even exists

[@mediahoodreviews4110]

So, if I understand correctly, people like Mechanic Studios (Dr Wu, whichever) follow the KISS principle; Keep It Simple, Stupid. And frankly, that's how I prefer my Transformers toys; simple, but effective. There's no need to throw in a billion steps and extraneous panels just to adhere to a specific aesthetic. I'd much rather play with the simplistic joy of the original Animated Optimus as opposed to the over-engineered, aesthetically dull mess of Siege Springer.

[@QueenStodge]

Lockdown face reveal!

[@MayinMayo]

i agree with siege astrotrain being superior, hes just so fun and awesome looking, btw why does the title say mechanic studio when its mechafanstoys? unless they also call themselves that

[@DrLockdown]

They're both names the company goes by.

[@Pterodactyll]

8:03

[@mixelmusprime5275]

Technically, you own the Titans Return version as well since you own the Sentinel Prime version of the mold so would you say that the Mech Fans toys' space shuttle mode is better than what that figure has as well?

[@DrLockdown]

Oh easily.

[@blud890]

Spitting facts today . Most definitely does not work

[@Alensmith-i9i]

Why u say mac fan toys

[@DrLockdown]

The company that produced this is called MechFansToys

[@Alensmith-i9i]

Why no call fan toys

[@DrLockdown]

Because fanstoys is a completely different company

[@Alensmith-i9i]
