One of em I Got - Nightshade | Transformers Earthspark Deluxe Figure

[@pittypolyphonic]

I can't condone this harmful message that earthspark promotes to kids that "birds" are real. What if my child fell out of a window trying to catch one of these "birds". Think of the children.

10/10 great bait will use this in my next fishing trip

[@pittypolyphonic]

@@jeremiahsacks2868 not everything is bait, sometimes, it's just jokes

[@beartrapinuwuland]

The fact the figure comes with 2 knifes and a human torso, really make nightshade look like a brutal character, I don't even remember if they use knifes in the show

[@bradensmith8682]

Let this false impression flourish. Make Nightshade the Doomslayer of Transformers for those who haven't watched.

[@theoneandonlyufomini-bot]

He uses some of his feathers as daggers

[@TheAutisticOwl]

They do close to the season finale although they look nothing like the toy ones

[@axl1632]

..If one was like Arachnid and not an awful downgrade of KnockOut as an "Inclusive Transformer"...

[@EL-uj1pl]

@@axl1632"Inclusive Transformer" again.. Do you know which franchise we're talking about? Have you read IDW? Are you incapable of processing that maybe people represent marginalized groups in their shows because maybe they are a part of said group? And you keep saying "inclusivity" like it's a bad thing. Walk me through that.

[@Bunbiichuffn]

I really really want a Tarantulus. His body is huge and the way he transforms on screen with his head turning all the way around is so creepy and I love it

[@NiStuff]

I know nothing of Tarantulas in the show so this is really gettin my hyped haha

[@TinyRobotED-tm9rs]

Have they made an earthspark tarantulas toy?

[@NiStuff]

@@TinyRobotED-tm9rs not yet, but fingers freakin crossed

[@MrGojira95]

I WANT THEM SO BAD!! They are an Owl, and Owls are freakin awesome!!!

[@WRECKNRULED]

I think you're one of my new favorite TF toy reviewers now, love your energy :] this was so fun to watch!

[@NiStuff]

Hell yeah, Thanks for watchin!

[@sophiegoose]

Dangit, now I'm more hyped than ever to open them up and mess with them. Was already hyped for another Beastformer to add to the shelf, but knowing they're fun to fiddle with just makes me even more excited.

[@Scerttle]

Oh. Well. Tarantulus being in Earthspark is a deal sealer for me too.

[@Scerttle]

Also... dead eyed stare, knives and a torso is pretty sus lmfao

[@TinyRobotED-tm9rs]

Earthspark is a pretty good show

[@incoherentbabbler4636]

Tarantulas was pretty fun in the show, and Nightshade might be my favorite Terran as a character and as a toy. Pretty shocked that their transformation requires only a bit of additional kibble, the show makes the process look very cheaty. That Thrash is almost perfect, so now I'm wondering what the upcoming deluxe will do for him.

[@hyggeism5261]

I'd love a tarantulus in this line, itd be great to have a nightshade tarantulus duo

[@Spootprime]

Love' em dearly.

[@michaelpapp5518]

3:35 I think if you found Earthspark Deluxe Twitch, Warrior Class Thrash and Jawbreaker, you’d enjoy the toys quite a bit. As well as own an iteration of all the new Terran Transformer characters except Hashtag. 4:06 ah, okay. You have Thrash already. Aces!

[@Alex876]

this into idw beast wars nyx plz

[@NiStuff]

Ooooh good idea

[@Alex876]

ye its the perfect mold

[@FlameWar05]

Most of the deluxes are new molded except shockwave Starscream and prowl

[@fishpop]

3:21 It's just Shockwave who's a Cyberverse repaint while Grimlock is a heavy retool. Everyone else is new.

[@TFanPage101]

Starscream is a repaint as well

[@fishpop]

@@TFanPage101 There's no Earthspark Deluxe Starscream. There might be a Warrior or whatever the gimmick figures are called.

[@TFanPage101]

@fishpop There is a Deluxe Starscream, it came with a Mandroid part, and it was a repaint of the Cyberverse figure with darker colors added

[@fishpop]

@@TFanPage101 It's not on the cross-sell on the back of the card.

[@TFanPage101]

@@fishpop Probably because he comes with the same piece as Shockwave. You can look it up

[@TheAutisticOwl]

I love them

[@Doiboy35]

I love this character, though personally I preferred their protoform look over this one.

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

Check ES Grimlock out once you get the chance, the Nick Roche vibes on it are delicious!

[@TheTransformerCloset]

I love the robot designs from Earthspark, Nightshade especially. Can't stand the gremlin children though - got them bug eyes...

[@theoneandonlyufomini-bot]

I agree with you. Combining hyper-realistic eyes with a cartoony style makes the Mo look extremely weird.

[@a.gonzalez610]

Fascinating

[@unfailingfeline5215]

We love Nightshade

[@fishpop]

Hell yeah, another Tarantulas simp! He looks so damn cool in this show and i have the TransArt figure on preorder.

[@BobTheAwesomeBob]

They (get over it) got a great figure that I want and their character is pretty good as well

[@theoneandonlyufomini-bot]

No, I will not get over him

@@theoneandonlyufomini-botimagine being caught up on a fictional robot alien owl from a kid's show you prolly had no intent to watch in the first place because they're non-binary

I tried watching, but it was too "kiddy" for me to enjoy. Would be like trying to watch Rescue Bots

[@moonwhooper]

I watched es and thought it was just fine, I agree with you I could not sit there and watch rb

[@bradensmith8682]

When it's just the bots, it's pretty good. Elaborates on trauma and nuance in war in ways kids may not pick up on.

[@democrabots]

What if someone who knows nothing of the show **and** only knows Nightshade for the very first time seeing the toy on the shelf goes around calling it Him? 💀

[@MaxM210]

They’d just be incorrect? Much like if someone saw a toy of Strika and assumed she was male. What is the point you’re trying to make here?

@@MaxM210 preach

[@moonwhooper]

​@MaxM210 i think they're afraid of someone giving them shit for not knowing

[@MaxM210]

@@moonwhooper thats why I brought up Strika. There is a difference between innocent ignorance and malicious ignorance. And in the context of this video, it’s not really relevant. NiStuff already knew the character was NB, and he didn’t question it. The only people who get shit about it, are the people who know NightShade is NB but still call them “he” anyway. It why asked what their point was. Unless you’re doing it on purpose, nobody has any reason to think it’s malicious.

[@bradensmith8682]

​@@moonwhooperwhy would they be afraid?

[@slicerneons3300]

I find his Transformation dissapointingly simple and articulation in owl mode.too restrictive. Great colors and alt.mode choice. Very mixed feelings on his head being stylized and not realistic. Makes him unique, but actual owls have really cool heads already.

[@Sound_Board28]

@slicerneons3300 it's They/them not he/him

[@Evan19900]

there is a reason this character is called nightshade. poisonous propaganda character.

[@directorscarlett1932]

It's not propaganda to show how the world really is. Non-binary people are part of the world whether you like it or not. LGBTQ people have been part of human history since before 400 BC. You don't have to like us, but a kid's show reflecting the world isn't propaganda.

[@sophiegoose]

Oh hon you are gonna have a REAL hard time when you get out of highschool and into the real world and find out that nonbinary folks are just as everyday and normal as everything else. Until then, make sure you do your homework (I know it's a drag but colleges and scholarships and stuff care about your grades, for better or for worse) and make sure you get some sleep. You'll regret not doing so when you're older. Peace.

[@axl1632]

Let's just say, that this character is a terrible downgrade of what it is an "Inclusive Character" Compared to the Queer Doctor KnockOut from Transformers Prime, to say at least, it was even more memorable and charismatic than this weak-a$$ binary glitch...

[@EL-uj1pl]

⁠@@axl1632"Inclusivity character," they scream, when the show itself is literally, at its core, anti-bigotry. I mean seriously, what do you think Mandroid is? Furthermore, while Knock-Out is fine (if not a bit stereotypical), nothing is really wrong with Nightshade. Their entire personality isn't a stereotype, so that's already a step up from Knock-Out. Then there's their arc where they selected an alt mode, which was one of the best episodes in the series. Plus, their whole personality as the curious, overeager inventor whose ideas frequently cause problems for the main characters isn't only great, but it's actually not a new archetype in the slightest for Transformers. They've got the personality of G1 Wheeljack, with twice the naivety and triple the heart. So with all due respect (and literally none is due), maybe you're a bigot with bad taste.
