Pain: A Transformers Story |

[@KadenKenz]

Well, the falling head could work for a custom... but other than that? *Smashes phone, jumps on skateboard*

[@Tavemanic]

Yes

[@moonwhooper]

Yes

[@tunixcrack]

Ah yes the old meme suits perfectly

[@pigeonleader]

Damn we need an updated studio series of Dragonstorm. A commander class would be cool but a combiner like Devastator would be cool too

[@ochinchingadaisukinaooo0]

Yeah

[@Dualbladedscorpion7737]

SS tlk dragonstorm would be one hell of a challenge to do

[@jeremiahsacks2868]

If they made it a combiner it would be literally stupid, seeing as to how there is cannonnically 43 knights in that movie. Oh fun fact-

[@jeremiahsacks2868]

Do not ever ask how I got that number.

[@emmanuellramos777]

If they're gonna make studio series Dragonstorm, it should be a single weaponizer/partsforming figure, so people will just buy multiples of them to form Dragonstorm, or make their own version of Dragonstorm

[@theonlysaj]

Pain is the perfect word to encapsulate everything having to do with The Last Knight

[@90lancaster]

Cogman is a pretty great deluxe though.

[@jacobjohnson9213]

Honestly, most of the figures are great. but the movie was crap, and dragonstorm is terrible. Only other awful toy was skullitron/steelbane.

[@ForestEmperor07]

​@@jacobjohnson9213 I liked steelbane, he would be perfect if the chest stayed in place during robot mode.

[@alexanderfoote9929]

​@@90lancaster Nitro Zeus was also the saving grace

[@P.D.F.]

Ikr, but still for some reason I adore Mohawk's design

[@NinAmuro57]

Steelbane and Skullitron were banger toys imo, it sucks they dropped the ball hard with Dragonstorm. The individual figures are sick looking at first glance, but also have glaring issues. Hopefully Studio Series does these guys some good justice. I remember when Emgo reviewed this years ago, and I still find it hilarious how the head was missing.

[@DoinItforNewCommTech]

Skullitron is SO cool. Flimsy as hell, but man, what a design

[@jayneduffy4566]

Maybe bad quality control? My figure still has strong joints

[@novustalks7525]

Dragonstorm is a good figure

[@Ocean_Bacon]

Thanks for taking the hit for the rest of us. Always wanted it, and almost pulled the trigger on it, had no idea he had those nasty rubber heads.

[@josephbolcome5462]

I just found one, and my only issue is the front arms being slightly loose. Heads are in good condition.

[@filthyearthenoid]

@@josephbolcome5462 Same thing actually. Just got one this week, and only the floppy dragon arms are the issue really. But they are on ball joints, so it's barely an issue really.

[@novustalks7525]

​@@filthyearthenoidthe floppy legs are my issue

[@MrFedoraFilm]

Hasbro will eventually get to Dragonstorm, but I wonder how they will do it. Having all the Guardian Knights combine into Dragonstorm, or have a few do that while the remaining others have their own Dragon modes. Since the number of members of the Dragonstorm combiner is inconsistent.

[@autobotyscorner6404]

I'm guessing a pack of a dozen Core sized Knights that turn into a Leader-Commander size dragon

[@DoinItforNewCommTech]

I was SO hyped to get all the dragon knights for this toyline. WHY couldn't they have been good!? Really hoping Studio Series saves them. I don't even like the Bayverse aesthetic, but I like these guys and I want them done right.

[@Bakuopp]

Kevin, noooo! (Gotta love a Godzilla ref) Also, if you've got any spare Lego part separators around, I've found that the flat end works really well at prying apart parts for transformation that you'd otherwise have to use your nails or a screwdriver to pry apart, so you're less likely to chip paint, damage plastic OR yourself when having to transform figures like this.

[@Justarandomreviwer]

Ninjago gag had me rolling

[@doublenep7095]

I'd love to see a movie accurate modern interpretation of these whether it be a studio series release or a 3rd party masterpiece release.

[@Snugrot]

I actually really liked the concept of this toy. Mine lasted up until a few months ago since it came out too. Coincidentally also the right head fell off for me too but that's the only issue my copy has right now.

[@SixshotRevan]

I ended up buying all the Knights from TLK back in the day, but due to my disappointment with the movie, they are all still sealed and sitting in my closet. Every now and then I'll think about finally opening them up, but if this is what Dragonstorm is like straight from the box I'm very worried what mine is like now. I'm also wondering if the one bot came with his robot mode head.

[@bepisthescienceman4202]

They need to do a spiritual sequal to this toy it's a really cool idea

[@leftygurl]

personally, i think this figure is quite impressive. i mean, you gotta work really hard to fuck up what should be an instant win of a three-headed dragon combiner, that takes skill.

[@novustalks7525]

They didn't fuck up

[@90lancaster]

I often talk about older moulds that need some 3D printing love this one is a prime example

[@Redstonestudios707]

Peace is temporary. Pain is eternal.

[@DragoonMS]

Stormreign being red or not...and the way Dragonstorm works in the movie...I just chalk it up to the same simple explanation as certain things in Metroid that don't always add up: "BIRD MAGIC*. (And it's more reasonable than Power Rangers Operation Overdrive's "Sentinel Knight did it"...)

[@DoinItforNewCommTech]

Being the Last Knight, we can LITERALLY say "a wizard did it" lmao

[@novustalks7525]

Metroid and transformers my two favourite things

[@liopleurodonthedinoman3637]

Kevin is the left head, Ichi is the middle head, and Ni is the right head

[@kightofprimus]

Oh Thank you for making this video, I've been wondering how this thing transformed for years.

[@90lancaster]

OK how about this idea.... once they are done with the Junkions. the next disassembly / combiner figure could be the Dragon Knights. you could bodge together how ever many of them to make increasingly larger dragons.

[@triKlops401]

There Is an awesome OSKO of this guy with diecast, ratchets and better connection points. He is Much harder to find nowadays but saying that, if you do find one, it's a good score.

[@filthyearthenoid]

I also just recently got it after long deliberation, and I'm really glad I bought it. But that's for three reasons: I got mine real cheap (boxed for less than 20 USD with shipping included), I knew about terrible QC beforehand, and I really lucked out and got a copy with none of the major issues. So, these things considered, I'm really smitten with him. The bot modes are ok, but I really love the dragon mode.

[@Overlord_editz]

YESSS! It’s about time you reviewed this! I was so exited to get it as a kid but then found out how utterly garbage it was

[@novustalks7525]

How is it garbage? Its class!

[@saeklin]

Without tertiary alt-modes like other combiners have, it should have been simple to make 12 figures that each become a small chunk of the dragon. 3 would be the heads, 1 would be the tail, 4 would be the legs, 2 for the wings, and 2 for the core body. Heck, they could even be interchangeable if you really put some effort into the engineering. Then you could make all sorts of combinations. How cool would that have been?

[@Dunks_Aquarium]

0:29 A minor correction: Kevin is the LEFT head. The right head is Ni, and the center head is Ichi. According to the Godizlla fans, at least. Also, never knew you were a fan of Ninjago. Nice.

[@incidentalreelz]

Very true

[@edwardhardin9411]

A studio series dragonstorm combiner would be really cool, alongside a studio series infernicus combiner, too.

[@baddabing4494]

They should release studio series versions of both of the main deception combiners (this dragon and the horned guy? I wanna say Infernicus?) As a leader price but a package of like 10 core class or whatever. Imagine combining 10 core class to have very fluid movement with fun little designs for each.

[@sandstormgamingandreviews597]

Rest in peace Kevin from Godzilla king of the monsters😂

[@RingoLoadagain]

I ended up having a lot of fun with this figure, somehow.... It's not well made and it's not even particularly well designed, but the concept is just so cool (it works way better as 2 not 12, and this one actually transforms instead of just mushing into a bunch of spikes) that I forgave a lot. It was also really fun to custom paint.

[@ToaBastignika]

Judging by the concept art, I think it was meant to be a bipedal dragon, being why it looks weird on all fours I'd loove a SS of this!

[@LMotionProduction365]

I have bought dragon storm when he first came out a few years ago and to this day I don’t know where the heads went , mine broke off literally 2 weeks after getting him and now they are just gone

[@Autobot-Revs]

The First Review I ever watched from you!

[@foolinaround777]

if this thing was well made itd honestly be pretty sick. a visually better than average dragon mode and pretty decent robot modes, its just neat

[@novustalks7525]

It is well made

[@X-Hairs97]

No sé si fue suerte, pero en mi caso ordené un Dragonstorm para Perú, y cuando llegó no tuvo los problemas de la cabeza que se salía o piezas que se caían, fue raro, en fin, el vídeo me saco algunas risas, sigue así broo

[@sean.a.s7234]

Maybe it's like Zygarde from Pokemon, where any number of them can combine to form Dragonstorm at different sizes... maybe? Idk man i tried.

[@hitorouchiha4373]

2:08 yay Ninjago theme song. That was an awesome Cartoon back in the day

[@SalooBC]

I have this figure, it broke about 2 years ago and I remember liking it back then, idk if I would like it now since I didnt really have any CHUG figures back then. If I were to make an ss Dragonstorm, the way I would do it would be o make 4 weaponizer knight moulds with unique dragon modes. Then retool each of them twice to result in 12 figures, then let people make whatever dragons they wanted. I think the modular system would work best for how the wings would need to work on a combiner of that scale.

[@kaijumastergaming6713]

Love the fact ya put a Godzilla joke in the review lol

[@ShinyRowletGuy]

I got this and yeah, but it makes me happy that all the broken pieces aren't my problem

[@AfterthymeGaming]

If Hasbro ever made a Studio Series of this guy and it'd be a combiner, maybe they should do the named ones instead of all 12 of them. Which are 5. 1 can form the heads, 2 form the upper torso and arms aling with the wings and other 2 can form the lower torso and legs. I don't know if it'll work. I'm not a Transformers figure engineer.

[@Net-Nomadic4]

5:54 i agree that stormrain is suposed to be red but if you look to his left we can se someone who looks much more like the toy he is heard to see because it is dark but he is there.

[@Torika2724]

Man I used to have these. I thought they were the best, but now I can’t disagree with any of this. The same dragon head kept coming off, transforming was hard and I cried when I couldn’t figure out the instructions, and god those weapons. Good idea/concept tho and the visual themes have potential. I think it could be fully realized with the engineering I see today, or at least it would be better than this.

[@Starvaze]

Theory: -Stormrange- Droganicus here Was grey. He just rusted over time resulting in a red-ish look

[@chadderbug7587]

I had the choice of getting these lads or Leader Megs at an Ollie's a few years ago. I went with Megs and I'm glad

[@Prcrastinatr_]

*intentionally pulls off the shoulder pad* “this one likes to fall off easily” I’m confused man.

[@chang7347]

I got one for about $20 for one that was painted chrome and that improves the whole thing greatly

[@fen4554]

When you need a nap after messing with a transformer. True pain.

[@keonimarcelo5813]

You too?! Mines one had TWO heads fell off! one on the left, and One in the Middle! whoever made this owes me money for this figure and what's worse? They're No upgrade kits for this thing! I Wouldn't blame them granted, but a Pair of Arms that make the Dragon mode Heads OUT OF DIE-CAST METAL WOULD BE APPRECIATED GODDAMMIT!!!!

[@SwedishSeacon]

Huh. Last time I saw rubber melt plastic was on the ROTF Bludgeon mold where the treads eat away some of the orange plastic, which leaves the molten marks as kind of rubbery afterwards

[@dr4wform4tion]

Since we are hoping for some new releases of these, you think you have any Armada/Energon/Cybertron mini cons you can review as a blast into the past. To maybe inspire newer collectors to see the wonders in them?

[@DarkCybertronProductions]

Nice review got one back in 17 and liked it, do think it should be a commander class or even a titan class figure if given the chance for studio series just made up of one bot with some cool accessories like the Merlin staff and weapons

[@maxdahooman]

Need a video of him singing the entire Ninjago Theme song now

[@emmanuellramos777]

If they're gonna make studio series Dragonstorm, it should be a single weaponizer/partsforming figure, so people will just buy multiples of them to form Dragonstorm, or make their own version of Dragonstorm

[@giantbonsai8950]

The teeny tiny legends scale version of this dragon is really good but yeah, the leader class is a carwreck

[@cideofsacae]

Shocking to me that no 3P companies have worked their engineering wizardry on this character yet

[@voltaicspecter928]

They are always making new ones so who knows the people who made challenger or dragoon might

[@ursa_major9471]

Hopefully some day a 3red party company try’s to make a dragon storm combiner that’s more accurate and consistent of at lest 6 combiners but we’ll see

[@a_literal_brick]

I think Dragonstorm is a really cool character, but I'm not hunting down twelve deluxes at $25 a pop to get him. If they're going to do a Studio Series, they need to sell them together as a commander or maybe a titan.

[@GojimusPrime200]

I remember when I got it, the 1st thing it did was the middle head fall off and ever since I never even transform it and just put it on my shelve.

[@EuanEchidhog]

The middle dragon head on my first copy broke off on me. 2nd one had no issues after being extra careful in freeing it from the box.

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

This has the potential to be an Epic Leader in Studio series. Subjectively I'm okay with one bot/one alt opposed to multiple bots building to be one dragon as this literally fails to do. Only ever had one Transformer break out of package so definitely relatable.

[@90lancaster]

These guys are 50% larger than a current leader would be, I wonder if they could have perhaps engineered a dinobot combiner with this guy in mind as a remould though each dinobot being rejigged into a dragon that makes a bigger dragon. Perhaps that would work better if it was a Live Action Movie dinobots combiner or even perhaps something using those demon looking things.. I can't see them ever making one made out of 10 of them short of some sort of big come back of Beast Hunters Predacons as a lead into to such a toy. That would be kinda interesting though as a base model perhaps. (see Transformers Go)

[@hawkmoon993]

I hope Devil savior makes a dragon storm

[@BlueFoxProductions]

This figure is pain, a few weeks after owning it (which was a birthday gift when the movie first released) all three heads broke, they really should've used better parts for the hands/dragon heads.

[@ericgorman9942]

I passed on this when it came out but if they did a decent studio series version, I'd be all in.

[@machinecore500]

i am just going to make my own out lego but thank you for the heads up on it.

[@JoseMartinez-df2db]

We need Studio Series Dragon Storm made from Deluxe and Leader Class figures.

[@loha_1017]

I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you had any plans to do another old vs new because I love those videos and really want some more

[@omarornelas-shams1830]

I feel like they should do a studio series version of Dragonstorm

[@donimight2390]

Stormrain's red is present on the toy dragon's heads, so the red could have meant he was supposed to turn into one of them.

[@WildFireGaming7]

Surprised you actually did a review on this guy

[@markmarzka2825]

Fortunately I never had the head issue. I keep mine in dragon mode, on its hind legs(i made a stand using thin steel wire to hold his front end up) looks best this way in my opinion. Definitely need a studio series like Devastator though.

[@Optimusprime809]

Whoah the memes are off the charts here! Bro even brought the lean!

[@darkrebellion2598]

I kinda wish for a non transforming version of him either 3rd party or studio series. And make commander size.

[@hazeshiro2673]

This guy and Infernocus need a Studio Series remake.

[@philshome2776]

I would love if studio series made all 12 knights. Honestly I don’t even need them to transform into dragonstorm. Just give me all 12 knights in like leader or commander class to make them big bodied and I’ll be like Prime at 0:44

[@DanielThomasHutton]

I was tempted by this back in the day, it was on deep discount and I love the idea knights forming a dragon. I am so glad I didn't buy it.

[@albertorodrigomolinasortiz471]

I want to get one cheap, to mod into the twins of How to Train Your Dragon, that transform and combine into their two-headed dragon.

[@mecha1139]

I guess I’m lucky that mines still fine after all these years

[@samurexatlas7373]

10:00 I would be interested in the first SS Titan. They'd probably do 3 knights, one for each head. Maybe 6 if they can fillet two enough to make the wings.

[@ARMRStudios]

I got mine wrongly marked in Walmart for $30 That said, 2 of the heads came off out of the box... I really wanted to like this guy

[@Xenous8]

If not for QC, these acctually seem really cool. Want knock off that is better now.

[@johannjosephsci]

U know the buff one would make a really good action figure(ie the design ). Id buy just that

[@d-wrexxkingdom7326]

Years ago when I bought this at toysrus the head on mine broke once I brought it home. I ended up returning it and buying tlk slag and Infernocus but now I really regret that bc I miss this figure even tho its bad

[@thomasalvarenga2839]

Sad to see how these toys were screwed over by quality control issues.

[@OliverPrice-vw9wc]

I bought this figure. Mine was perfect. I’m happy. 😊

[@BrickStudio11]

I remember as I was at a target one day and that figure was on clearance for $14 and my dad was saying to buy it but I instead got Ss stinger. Kinda regret that but not really

[@christiananddanyell]

Nitro Zeus, Voyager Megatron and Hound carried the TLK toyline.....

[@chibiwibi]

Oh man, the sound of that flimsy plastic is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

[@AJOlaks]

They could totally make a Titan in SS be 13 knights that end up making Dragonstorm

[@vincentmarcellino7183]

How is it that Mudflap and Skids was a better combiner toy? Actually I wanna find that one again. It was actually a fun one

[@depreston2915]

I remember when this was on Amazon for pretty cheap (cheap for leaders anyway) but I didn’t get it, wish studio series would give us a big leader or even commander dragon thing

[@williammckinley1035]

You could pose it where it looks like Optimus just chopped off one of the heads! LOL

[@dragonstorm1938]

It's a 10/10 toy I would recommend

[@ryanhernandez5632]

Honestly I'm surprised 3rd parties haven't tried to make the knights of prime combiners yet

[@ducky1moomoo723]

Love the Ghidorah reference

[@sap1914]

That head literally just looked like lego ninjago season 1 dragon heads

[@kusakabe2659]

The head on mine finally broke but enough friction to sit there so he’s staying in dragon

[@samurexatlas7373]

Dragonstorm? More like painstorm.

[@alectech5435]

This kinda reminds me of Placidusax from elden ring, specially the head falling out

[@demonwolf3286]

The dragon is made of multiple knights not just 12 stormreighn forms part of it if he chooses think of devastator and his parts which can be from multiple bots there were like 20 knights and the main 12 made up the dragon but they could shift and swap

[@CalderTF2]

I still want one to do for a custom in the knight modes.
