ABOUT THE THUMBS! Apparently there is one method to "tuck it away" which is just rotating it up so onen thumb is pointing to the other thumb. it just makes the hand look weird in a different way to me lol, but it's a thing, it's a thing you can do. As always, it's your toy, display it however you wish. I, personally, will have a drawer full of little spare thumbs lol. So now we can stop talking about thumbs cuz this is just weird lol

[@cscape1973]

Spare thumbs.......the new “must have”

[@samurexatlas7373]

I have an Idea, make the extra thumb a wrist dagger.

[@TalkingHeadProductions]

so many lols...

[@nathanlaughlin5380]

I dont know weather i should laugh or cringe at that, Emgo. I honestly don't.

[@Yo-jt6ok]

Or you could just remove the Tom it's on a ball. So you can easily reattach it

[@shockwave640]

Introducing Prime Armor: The ability to make all your Deluxe Class Transformers into Krang, Arnim Zola, Gurren Lagann, and more!

[@shadowednight1600]

Someone needs to repaint a fitting figure into Krang.

[@Shockwave-vo5ty]

MegaManWarking From the Ninja turtles?

[@shockwave640]

face on the chest, face on the head. good enough

[@shockwave640]

yep

[@owlstagawn1106]

It'll be fine Grimlock. Just give it about a month and you'll get your body back, and so much better things.

[@darrenbent7601]

That skit was hilarious, I've got that running through my head. LOL

[@nightwolf2226]

It seems that Slug needs a Red Bull, to give him wings.

[@alternative7586]

He seems sluggish

[@devinleber5604]

Dang. A few hours after your Swoop review, you are shreading through this first wave LIKE A BOSS!!! Plus an hour for a review. NEW RECORD!!!

[@floofs6785]

I wish the prime armor actually worked like armor and not just a box on the chest of the figure. They could've done so much more with it. It's a great idea but the execution was terrible.

[@itberufus]

call_me _fluffy What could they have done?

[@ripperman25]

I think his name is a reference to like 'shotgun slug' or a 'metal slug'- shoptalk for a chunk of metal or ingot.

[@Kodaiva]

And before he was slag, the stuff that’s a waste product from smelting metal

[@bizzaro13]

I appreciate the Scott Bacula Quantum Leap reference. Also this is a really cool looking figure, great review.

[@samcorcoran470]

I can't believe how much more we know about dinosaurs than they taught us when I was in school. We didn't know they combined in the 80s.

[@edwardryan9531]

They're like nearly the same size as g1 dinobots with third party transformers with combiner ability. It's like what fans wanted to happen in the eighties to face against predacons predaking

[@richardgreenleaf3259]

I don't care what Hasbro wants to call him these days, he's SLAG to me.

[@emgo316]

totally agree

[@nealstark185]

Thank you!

[@shadowstrider8295]

Richard Greenleaf yes it's like he said "That good enough for SLAG!!"

[@SolidBedunga]

I bet he is, you dirty bastard.

[@ericdunn7352]

Me too.

[@kidchuckle]

that turret mode looks pretty good with the gun attached! It is a thing "that I will do!"

[@iCANhazRECON1]

I'm glad Hasbro didn't forget to add silver paint on Slug like they did with Swoop

[@emgo316]

swoop has silver paint on him

[@skylerbento3556]

Yeah, it's on his foot-claws in Pteranodon Mode, and the sides of his shins and on his face in Robot Mode.

[@emgo316]

also on his chest

[@Fracassi1]

The legs seemed to be not quite tabbing all the way. If you make sure the torso and crotch area are flush when folding the legs into dino mode it will fix that problem. At least it did with mine.

[@gigantron27]

I was laughing so hard at the end of that skit. Slug just sings a lullaby to grimlock to make him sleep lol

[@huntingwolf20]

I wish these guys were Voyager so bad...BUT...still good molds. After watching your video and you always doing a good job of different configurements for accessories, I really am liking the usage of the prime amour as a shield. It looked awesome, and with the spikes he could swing that and impale another bot.

[@cameronmoriarty3313]

How do you get the carded figure open with the card looking so nice? I haven't been able to not rip up the art. I've resorted to cutting the plastic off the front at this point. My Slag's bot mode legs don't stay tabbed together very well either. The only thing that really helps is when they are folded in for Dino or leg mode and they are tabbed into the front half of the dino. My Slag was a Megatronus Slag.

[@AdnanAli-rb3lt]

I usually cut off the plastic in the front because I like to keep the card back as a giant collector's card. Megatronus Slug is a beast - erases his enemies from existence.

[@omegaprime1139]

So funny with Slug putting Grimlock to sleep.

[@trence5]

great review as always Em! @16:36 Gosh that Fansproject Slag is gorgeous.

[@TheTFfan75]

I have a theory: The reason why Slug doesn't have wings, is because it's a different character entirely. Slag died, and was replaced by Slug.

[@ericlynch978]

At the end of the year can you please make a collection video

[@carellicollectables]

I know there's this whole group of people who demand and expect perfect human-like proportions and anatomy in their giant transforming robot aliens.... but I have absolutely zero problem with him having two "thumbs" on either side. Hell we've got robots with claws, robots with stumps, robots with pile drivers, and all other types of shit - is having an extra thumb per hand really a deal-breaker here? Not to me. Hell if I could have two thumbs on each hand that would probably be pretty helpful and useful - soooo why can't a robot? They're not humans, people. Loosen up. P.S. When I BOOP you BOOP Just like that.

[@theautobotmechanic419]

With the Combine mode arm and leg it would have been nice if you could rotate the head forward rather then having it stair up into space

[@ollienix3285]

Imagine walking in on him wile he was recording that lullaby for the skit...

[@alternative7586]

Y'all never thought that it took only one dinobot to knock down devastator.

[@RennArmy]

cant wait until like next year when these come to my walmart, its gonna be awesome.

[@themekanist1551]

Mine was liege maximo slug "Can goad anyone into a fight" Its cool that they (or mine at least) come with different prime powers on the cards. I didn't know they did...

[@tomaiken903]

Excellent Review. Great job. 👍👍🤗👍👍

[@MrDoctorVK]

My, the end gag in this was even better. XD

[@nightwingnum1226]

So this is a Hasbro not Slag?

[@electrobuster5483]

Look at what slag translates in European language

[@shadowednight1600]

Yeah, but Europe's too sensitive for its own darn good.

[@richardgreenleaf3259]

I thought it was England/Great Britain, not Europe in general. But I still call him Slag as the name fits far better than Slug. Slag is what he does to Decepticons when he melts them down. Slug just sounds like he's now either a shell-less snail or a blank metal bar.

[@darthdmc]

I'm from the UK, and he's still Slag to me. Yeah, the word still means by product of metal smelting.

[@zeroblade7708]

Vincent Bovell, you do know not all of europe speaks the same language don't you? I'm dutch, from the Netherlands, that's a country in europe and over here slag means strike, as in a punch to the bloody face, which I think fits him nicely. He will forever be slag to me, no matter what anybody thinks.

[@GGT721]

I have the same problem with the legs, but it is possible to get them to stay together. It's just getting the hip joints and thigh swivels just right

[@nahte724]

Nanny Slag, two headed Swoop, I wonder how Sludge and Snarl are going to play out. I agree with you about the wings. You should check out the war in pocket dinobots if you haven't already. There neat little dudes.

[@Random42]

Lord Swoopington needs to party with Lord Sqweekington.

[@chiokec]

i wish he had the wings

[@HazeBre3]

I just got Slug and mine is a Leige Maximo slug, not Vector Prime. Not sure why they are different.

[@mannydontenfs5438]

I just got Slug today and the hind end on mine doesn't like to stay tabbed together either.

[@dodgyb2001]

I do like the new Dinobots, I just wish they were Voyager sized, you know, like the Constructicons and Predacons, their two main rivals in the cartoons and comics.

[@chasinthroughthedecade]

Would be cool if in leg mode, his triceratops head becomes the foot to make it reminiscent of Zyuranger's Daizyujin/MMPR's Dino Megazord.

[@RHM087]

Dumb question: Do the Prime Armor pieces allow Titan / Prime Masters to sit inside them like cockpits, like the G1 Dinobots/Insecticons?

[@itberufus]

Robert M. Yes

[@darrenbent7601]

Just one question at the moment. Are you going to have a playlist for Volcanicus, the PotP Dinobots?

[@emgo316]

no, all this is going to go in the POTP playlist.

[@rickgrivera]

I already miss the wiggly waggly wiggly waggly Titans Return heads.

[@sisirkumardas7393]

This review just blew my mind !

[@cscape1973]

Ok.......that cut scene/outro is really disturbing, funny, but disturbing 😳😳😳

[@justanothermollusk5829]

I think "Slug" was used as a replacement name because "slug" can be used as a euphemism for "punch" or "slap." EX: "Some guy tries to pick a fight with you? Just slug him."

[@scolopendrasubspinipes9315]

Trainer [Insert Name Here] I'm pretty sure they changed 'Slag' to 'Slug' because Slag is actually the UK's term for 'slut.' Not to mention there was also a Dinobot named 'Slapper.' Yeah...

[@AdnanAli-rb3lt]

Slug is also a term for a bullet

[@justanothermollusk5829]

Scolopendra Subspinipes I'm aware of _why_ Hasbro changed his name, I was just explaining the etymology behind the new name.

[@scolopendrasubspinipes9315]

Trainer [Insert Name Here] Ah, alright.

[@georgiv1]

How do you open them without damaging the package?

[@monkeyguy80]

I’m simply can’t wait for emgo to review POTP Leader class Rodimus Prime ya! 😊

[@castledragonsword]

I sadly missed these guys in all my stores online and otherwise :< im hoping once wave 2 is out i can buy a giftset with alll the dinobots

[@TheTrueMorse64]

I bet if you put the prime armor on the forearm and open the fingers on it and basically turn it into a fist, you can give him a big punching fist

[@bagofshhh]

You can. I actually like that look.

[@Vipermecha]

if not for the dino head, I'd say, he kinda looks like a robot turtle with a metal shell in the back, yeah too bad the wings don't come out.

[@Justice-fg8sd]

Could you show us if the clear plastic piece for the combiner hand fits on overlords chest please

[@TekuJames]

Justice 2034 They do, but I don’t believe the boob doors will shut

[@THSNDS]

Sure enough, these things are gonna be KOed and oversized. The figures look promising enough so I won't mind.

[@Shockwave-ob2tx]

I had high hopes for the POTP Dinobots...until I saw the Slug comparisons to G1 Slag...and Slug is noticably smaller...ugh. Well, I guess I can get this figure, pull out the horns and he can become Grimstone!

[@carellicollectables]

I wish I could go back in time to when TF collectors first started confusing size with quality and slap some people into reality.

[@crazycritick]

Shockwave 2 4

[@linktendo1963]

Here's a though, instead of changing one letter in his name, they give slag a whole new name that still fits the character like Smelt or somethingOh and I'd like to mention that hasbro went a few names before sticking with slug when I came up with at the top of my head

[@skylerbento3556]

Linktendo19 I like your idea, but I believe the version of the word "Slug" being used here is the version that is another word for "Large Bullet".

[@linktendo1963]

though that is smart, people usually think of the mollusk when they here slug

[@jeremypickard2372]

Lol. Quntum leap reference was groovy. Kats out age know about the good stuff. like Metallica /Megadeth

[@themoagoddess1820]

so when I saw this, I remembered TJOmega's video, and in that one it was Micronus Slug(so I guess the cards are random), but that's not the interesting part: the interesting part is that you got Vector Slug and TJ showed off the line's gimmick with Vector Prime in Slug's prime armor. edit: changed Sigma to Prime, thanks Marc.

[@MarkyMarc413]

The Moa Goddess - you mean Vector Prime? As in, one of the 13 Primes (what the whole gimmick is based around). As for the cards, each character will have 12 different cards, one for each Prime Master, so if you're a card collector....good luck.

[@themoagoddess1820]

whoops, thanks for catching that.

[@mixxur]

I don’t need to watch the whole video to know it deserves a like!

[@lucasgabriel-md7cq]

no comparison with planet X figures???

[@fallouttoonlink]

It will always be Slag to me. Even though I didn't grow up with the G1 cartoon

[@drilloff]

Nice keep you the good work

[@damcj2000]

I can't wait for the Dr. Wu Addon weapons pack for theses guys to give them there g1 swords and guns

[@ICountFrom0]

at 5:16 what if he took out the clear bit and put a head master in there, totally dino rider, man the cannons folks.

[@Moe_Simp]

A dinobot combiner? finally, something they can't reuse parts on.

[@bumblebot2458]

Joseph Newstead well, they ARE technically reusing parts such as the combiner peg things, or whatever they're called, if you really want to get nitpicky.

[@specturtle1762]

A horned dinosaur with armor and a gun. Why not.

[@nine_tails137]

I wish Hasbro changed Slag's name to "Slog" instead of Slug. Cause it sounds WAY TOO SIMILAR to Sludge.

[@bagofshhh]

Emgo, connect the robot legs together before flipping up to the waist going into dino mode. You will notice a U- shaped peg that will go into the U- shaped screw hole on his butt. That may help you with lining up the back end. Cheers!

[@emgo316]

that's not the problem. the legs like to push themselves apart no matter what mode he's in.

[@bagofshhh]

Ah. Ok. Bummer. Sorry that wasn’t helpful for you.

[@nitro1897]

Good Emgo like

[@Israel-is4fp]

The tabbing is a wide spread problem

[@dakotalandaker8181]

When are you going to combine them

[@emgo316]

I did in the Snarl review.

[@satriawibawa1628]

Maybe No body tells you yet, when prime armor or whatever it's called hanging on the front of slug and swoop it looks like they wearing sucide bomb vest.. How dramatic...

[@Asher_Tye]

Wait.... I thought Slug was an arm. His horns make for great looking shoulder armor in the game.

[@yolo-se1hl]

I WANT THIS SLUG FIGURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sloanenehring2757]

A fine figure. Wish the triceratops mane or however it’s called was a bit larger though :/ looks too much like a potato tbh

[@justanothermollusk5829]

I think you meant the "frill," or "crest." I know my dinosaurs.

[@sloanenehring2757]

Trainer [Insert Name Here] yep yep that’s the ting. Thanks!

[@cameronmoriarty3313]

Am I the only one who thinks the Tampo just before the tail looks like an NES controller?

[@knexxpert]

No. That came to my mind as well.

[@justagundam]

Why wouldn't they let you fold in one of the thumbs? That's stupid.

[@bumblebot2458]

ArcticKaiju the less moving parts, the cheaper it is to make, which lets them make more of them, which then lets them make money, which lets them line their wallets, and so on. I understand where you're coming from, and I have to agree with you; it is kind of lazy. But I also understand why it was done from a marketing side/standpoint, at least.

[@Big-Image]

Fun Fact:The prime masters are just titan masters disguised as pretenders and power masters.

[@Peshi80]

Should've been a Voyager class...........With WINGS!

[@johntaylor1981]

Lord Swoopinton and Lord Slaginton!

[@knightofarkronia8652]

19:05 Eh, still better than Justin Bieber.

[@adamska122reviews]

Swoop stole his cysium salami (I think that's how it's spelled) and now he head has been removed and worn as an example.

[@yjaydenl]

ADAMska122 Reviews cesium?

[@adamska122reviews]

A random Fox yes! That. I couldn't figure out how to properly spell that

[@Azurenighterror11]

Cant wait for starscream

[@robertj.3383]

I don't know who slug is. I know who slag is. And I didn't know there were titan masters of the dinobots. I missed out.

[@nealstark185]

In G1, he is called Slag.

[@emgo316]

correct

[@yolo-se1hl]

I HAVE THIS SLUG POWER OF THE PRIMES EDITION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Daltinian95]

Vector slug the demongo of the primed up Dinobots

[@michaellucas3907]

I find the Dinobot Combiner weird

[@Godzilla-mq5zv]

Still better than the Beast. Then again,that's not very difficult.

[@Cyclownus]

Godzilla 123 We do not speak of it

[@Godzilla-mq5zv]

Dark Scream I know. I was just mentioning the benchmark of horribleness for Dinobot Combiners.

[@Cyclownus]

Godzilla 123 I don’t mind Volcanicus IMO. Still keen on Dinobots though.

[@Godzilla-mq5zv]

Dark Scream Yeah,neither do I. If anything,it feels nice to see the concept done justice.

[@conducktorwhirlwarstartera5055]

I will always call him Slag.

[@renaeknight9266]

".....Me Slag Like New Toy....."

[@codybodeker8094]

Papa Slug!

[@midnightman75]

My card is different do you know why

[@emgo316]

each figure comes with one of twelve different cards. one for each prime.

[@viejowaterfall2]

we can use prime armor to make jokes (at least )

[@deathbycat1261]

If idw revives slug and makes him time travel through all the arcs i will give them every penny i own

[@Shockwave-ob2tx]

Lord Grimlock 125 Well, they've revived him anyway...

[@megatron2171]

At first i want to buy these deluxe dinobots i change my mind, they are freaking small

[@ltriggs1497]

As watching this I saw the trailer

[@ericdunn7352]

I think Slag is always in a bad mood.

[@willyboi1389]

Of course they named him Slug! Why not!?

[@Clankatron]

Because it's apparently bad in the UK, so Slug is close enough

[@Joseph_Drew_III]

4:10 I can never tell what you’re saying here

[@Bradyradtke456]

Engine. WHY YOU NO COMBINE

[@emgo316]

ME NO HAVE ALL PARTS YET

[@jenniferhosler7377]

How is this a slug it's not slimy plus it's a trike not a slug but imagination yeah I guess

[@stel7425]

Here's Hasbro's not slag

[@jamescartee7191]

Hello world

[@Patriots-gl9wv]
