Video Review: DX9 D12 GABRIEL

[@renegadecalamari239]

I was on the fence between the FT and DX9 version and this video helped make that decision. I'm definitely going with Gabriel.

[@ltmc2h694]

I think this version is much better than the fanstoys one

[@6x6Majin]

I'm actually pretty excited for Weijiang's offering. It doesn't look like it'd fit in well with other MPs at all but it looks like it'd go fantastically with a CHUG collection, which is the bulk of what I have.

[@sirbubbles5506]

Hey man there's a great deal on this particular dx9 Gabriel over at BigBadToyStore I think he's like 2:15 can you tell me between this one and the fans toys which one has a better tank going around the track feature?

[@dragnlrdelfbane]

Looks nice. Definitely reminds me of my old G1 Omega Supreme I had as a kid. Oh course, I miss the fact the original could walk.

[@i.still.function3463]

Can't go wrong with either choices in my books.

[@iBeamer]

The leg transformation is awesome.

[@scottboehmer1975]

Good review, but as some other people have mentioned, the rocket does open to unfold a ramp. Also, for anyone who wants larger wings you're supposed to be able to expand them. Can't wait for this big guy!

[@peaugh]

scott boehmer going to give it another shot. I didn’t see anything that obviously opened up.

[@peaugh]

Found them.

[@garysendaydiego9290]

I'll definitely pick this up instead of the FansToys version.Awesome & thanks for the video.

[@TheAutobotPower]

The transformations is so elegant in comparison to others that makes the figure look better.

[@CRocketSlim]

Serious Hasbro, get this guy and Scorponok in Power of the Primes

[@Wargod_ARTS]

so..... why didn't you show off the knee joints, Peaugh? O_O

[@ltmc2h694]

He did at around 18:30

[@CubamusPrime]

Maybe FT will drop the price more after this guy being release?

[@RCCrawlerz209]

"Prime died of the awesomeness!" XD

[@dbad73]

Nice!!! Cant wait for mine!

[@Starscream2588]

I got fans toys omega I a m pleased.But I am going t wait & get the gaurdian version of this one.That way both would be different for me.

[@Darkmanfl]

Waited so long when will he come out? Soon I hope!

[@Posit_Zero_Blue]

I had my pre-order in for the second release of Siege Omega Supreme when I noticed that the price had dropped substantially on this big boy. Siege Omega was $160...Thicc Gabe was $20 more. Nothing against the Siege release...I still may get one, but it can't hold a candle to Thicc Gabe, especially at $180 bones. No-brainer purchase! RIP DX9. It's too bad cause you guys made some great figures and had a fan in me!

[@poloskier1967]

The actual rocket does have opening panels to form a ramp.

[@Earthpet711]

I would have like to have seen a size comparison with a Titan class figure.

[@JasonSawyer]

I think it's about an inch shorter than FT Omega, and that's pretty much Metroplex/Fort Max height. It's pretty close, within a couple inches.

[@steadyalbatross]

Third party stuff is getting crazier and crazier in size and scale

[@Eucep]

They kind of need to start actually molding in the battery types more often so you can always see what kind you need somewhere inside panels which hide the batteries.

[@joe3019772008]

didn't we already see you do a review on this before ? i'm feeling like i have seen this whole review of yours before. deja vue

[@Eucep]

Probably the other one, per the usual, 3rd party brings out several brands of the same character.

[@HatRabies]

You are not alone in this. I know I've seen this before.

[@stxemo]

I need more shelves now. Damnit

[@predaking000]

Another reviewer mentioned the arms sliding off in robot mode...doesn't seem to be the case here.

[@NIA28YT]

very nice review! thanks.

[@Praxeus7]

Pretty sure from Bens collectibles review of this monster, that both pieces of the Rocket do indeed open. You shouldn't need scissors.

[@peaugh]

Praxesu I will try again. I didn’t see anything that obviously allowed me to do so.

[@ThePlank1991]

Are his elbows CW compatible? They look very similar

[@roadblock7801]

That's a big fella! 😮

[@DragoonMS]

Aww...poor PotP Optimus should've had his buddy Combiner Wars Megatron to help him along there. Sooo...fewer electronics but a cheaper price and apparent better stability in the calves (those hips seem slightly suspect, though)??? Yeah, I think I'll go with Gabriel here. Seems that amongst Classics era figures, Leader class figures are a bit of a no-go (except for that Generations Jetfire & Takara Legends Super Ginrai & Godbomber); Voyagers seem to work better as far as scaling with this guy and with FansToys Terminus Giganticus.

[@joe3019772008]

LOL. he died from the awesomeness . lol.

[@toysroom28]

TG ALL THE WAY

[@Prime20121]

Great review... He looks awesome! He also looks exhausting to transform lol

[@leandrotf6819]

Both sides have positive and negative! but I like FT more robust! .

[@Qc4073]

I wish I had waited on this. That being said it’s not that much better then the FT one so I’ll stick with mine. It’s nice that for once you can’t go wrong on either.

[@ailma0400]

The drop of that Megatron made me physically wince. I’m sorry, it just hurt to see that.

[@joshvance9284]

Leni used to like everything haha its true.

[@moridoka7000]

Man... Hope this is MP size .. But that would be too large... Also glad you finally know the batteries for that...

[@Earthpet711]

It is my scaled.

[@Earthpet711]

Mp scaled.

[@moridoka7000]

Christopher Turner No if you look at tge G1 Cartoon like the Golden Lake(or something along those line) the Autobots and Decepticrips are much smaller...

[@DMSL2007]

Having it at true MP scale is never gonna happen. The thing would have to be 5 feet tall.

[@philfry5550]

It's MP scaled. For every screen grab you find making this guy look too small, there is another screen grab showing him to be spot on. The toon was notorious for inconsistent scale.

[@glasswolf0162]

Fantastic. It looks like it walked out of the 80's cartoon. But I had the original G1 version. And the best part was a motorized tank and the fact that Omega could walk. Given the fact that he was the least charismatic robot, He really needs a gimmick.

[@BFBeast666]

I love big bots and I cannot lie... but this dude is rapidly approaching "too big" territory. Transforming him looks like a fun workout though :)

[@CubamusPrime]

BFBeast666 because he suppose to be "to big" to scale with TF MP?

[@BFBeast666]

Cubamus Prime No, not at all. I'm not concerned with inter-line scaling. It's simply a matter of shelf space and handling this huge hunk of plastic. :)

[@MrTheMighty]

Hm... Doesn't really fit the rhyme scheme. Not sure what you were going for there. (kidding)

[@hxee5545]

Just remember, their parents didn't want'em 2 become bully bait...

[@7tgm23]

No comparison to FT side by side = no thumbs up

[@JasonSawyer]

I love the transformation, how the backpack latches in place, but I still love FT's look better. I also prefer the size of the wings, but that's all personal preference.

[@jakedc1997]

I really love the quality and love that has gone into the two recent 3p Omegas. But man there's gotta be an omega that has a bit more style to him as the G1 design is quite boring, yea there's the planet X and Energon ones, but the Energon one is dated, and Planet X is a bit over stylized.

[@Trikeboy2]

apart from the knees, I don't see anything better than the Fans Toys one. It is a beautiful Omega but the FT one reminds me so much of the G1 toy, it isn't lanky looking like this one and it seems to have more play features. Also, actual working treads in tank mode is always nice. I'm sure people who buy this will be happy though as it does look good.

[@peaugh]

RM_Prime Oh, for sure. Like I said at the end, i think the core base transformation on Gabriel tips the scales for me, the FansToys release is also solid and fun. Either choice is worth it, it all comes down to personal preference. Gabriel does have a slight price advantage.

[@CubamusPrime]

And this looks G1 also.

[@Trikeboy2]

only in bot mode. Alt mode isn't. Those feet outside the tracks is massively distracting. The alt mode suffered for the stronger legs.

[@Lagghard]

The knees are nice, but a bigger issue to me is the torso when viewed from the side. Gabriel looks just like it should, while Terminus has a very oddly thin body.

[@liegelord1971]

FT forever!!!!!!

[@αωεςσε-ω7ζ]

Ok. These videos are cool and all, but does it really have to be 25 goddamn minutes long?

[@wurlbfree1981]

αωεςσмε I'm thinking the, same thing like it's just omega supreme ain't like we dont know what to expect great but long vid tho especially after that long as ft omega vid last year lol

[@wingdagger7612]

Suck it up princess, just be thankful that Peaugh has made the video at all...

[@αωεςσε-ω7ζ]

dude chill. I "thumbs uped" the video because it was cool and informative, but that doesn't change the fact that it is too long, and should be edited down a few minutes.

[@Normonaut]

Yes, it does.

[@αωεςσε-ω7ζ]

No it doesn't. Just because someone is good at what they do, does not mean they are immune to criticism. Everyone deserves the right to improve, but your one sided views on content are crippling this KZbinrs ability to do so.

[@GhostbustersArchives]

Weijiang is way better.

[@tkopodcast447]

This thing looks like trash. Glad I went with fanstoys

[@MrTheMighty]

I'm just curious why you feel that way. Not trying to start anything, I'm just legitimately curious. I've only seen pictures of either, and they don't look that much different visually.

[@tkopodcast447]

John Crum it looks incredibly cheap compared to fanstoys. I think the engineering is also terrible. I prefer it come in pieces like fanstoys so I don’t have to wrestle with it while it flops around everywhere. The wings look bad. The leg ratchet sounded soft. I could keep going but you get the point.

[@lucas_bock]

It's no Wei Jiang

[@MrTheMighty]

lol Fair enough. It did take me a minute of research to realize that "JC" didn't refer to me.

[@ltmc2h694]

He might jus be a fanstoys fan boy. This is clearly more stable and requires less partsforming

[@YourTaintStinks]

id like to see the wings folded out. everyone keeps folding them in.
