Terrific Triple Changer ! Transformers LEGACY United Leader Sandstorm G1 Universe Chefatron Review

[@Canoby]

Glad I'm not the only one who was pumped for this guy, and satisfied when he finally arrived. That said I always loved the G1 pacifist take on him so I almost always stash his guns on his back in 'bot mode

[@chefatron]

oh awesome man! did this figure get a lot of hate? I thought most collectors and reviewers loved him...

[@mrs.romansdelight4091]

That cage is his and Astrotrain’s picnic basket

[@chefatron]

hahahahahahaha so true!!!

[@Zangief-i3c]

I think it was Octane his picnic buddy.

[@baredas]

Note that his crouch can be pushed in when in Robot mode ! Gives better stability and also better clearance to move the legs.

[@chefatron]

yeah, I forgot to show that off, thanks for pointing it out!

[@leonardoesnard8305]

Love the montage at the start. Mine arrives on Monday, 3 weeks ahead of schedule thanks to Amazon. Wish they would redo Blitzwing and give us G1 versions of Astrotrain, Octane and Broadside.

[@chefatron]

oh thanks so much man awesome! I'm sure you'll love it! yeah, let's hope so

[@nerdraged411]

just transformed this guy to vehicle mode and your tip on making sure the legs were pushed all the way in helped alot! love the vehicle mode, gives a very mad max vibe. thanks for the review!

[@chefatron]

oh awesome! glad I could help man 😀

[@superroboted]

Chef...you cooked this review well as usual!!! I just got him in today and I have the Hasbro T30 Sandstorm on deck as well. You're right T30 Sandstorm was no slouch either.

[@chefatron]

hahahaha too long huh LOL oh awesome hauls man! congrats! yeah, especially the Takara Tomy version 😀

[@Sayerservante]

I wished my preorder was delayed because I just saw him at retail for sale at $35 along with other Leaders - Tigerhawk, RotB Optimus Primal, Bumblebee movie Megatron, BW TM2 Megatron, and Skyquake 😞. Oh well, you just never know when they go on sale. But I did get BW TM2 Megatron on sale, so it wasn't a total loss.

[@chefatron]

@@Sayerservante whaaaattt?!!! those are crazy clearance prices man, something that will never happen here in Manila that's alright, at least you secured yourself a copy of this awesome figure...

[@TFfangeek]

Outstanding review Chefatron!!! Sandstorm is incredible. Fingers crossed that we get new figures of Broadside and Octane after the upcoming SS86 Springer figure. :D Keep on being amazing.

[@chefatron]

thank you so much my friend 😀 oh I hope we get those guys and a better version of Springer...

[@TFfangeek]

You're welcome my friend!! 😎👍

[@Zangief-i3c]

​@@chefatrongreat review, are you going to be reviewing Springer leader class?

[@chefatron]

@@Zangief-i3c thanks so much bro yeah, when Amazon finally decides to ship it to me, I will... it's taking forever man...

[@byronleday3313]

I had problems getting the cockpit tabbed together at first and my helicopter rotor blades are stiff and won't spin freely and they are pulled up and I don't understand what the problem is causing this.

[@chefatron]

hmmm.... I've never had those issues... interesting

[@BenBoyee]

This is going to be arriving for me in roughly a week alongside Magmatron and i am VERY excited

[@chefatron]

awesome bro! and great hauls! i skipped magmatron though...

[@meg-k-waldren]

Looks amazing. Chest piece peg is bummer but nice regardless.

[@chefatron]

yeah, but if you tab the chest well enough, it will hold... unless you get him into some really crazy chefatron poses LOL

[@dgray3771]

This is really my 10/10/10 figure. What I mean is, no loose joints, perfect paint and no other qc issues. With Hasbro that is a rarity. Sadly. My Springer also pretty good. I really love the tripple changers.😂

[@chefatron]

awesome man! yeah these autobot triple changers are really cool!!! the decepticon triple changers though....

[@legendarytoycollections]

Great review sir! Agree with your prediction on the reissue 😂

[@chefatron]

salamat bro! did you keep yours or binenta mo na ?

[@legendarytoycollections]

@@chefatron can’t seem to let it go 😂

[@chefatron]

@@legendarytoycollections hahahaha huwag bro, maganda talaga ito!

[@alexjclelland]

I love both vehicle modes, just not a fan of how the botmode looks, though it's faithful to the original toy and cartoon so I can't complain too much!

[@chefatron]

same bro@ yeah, the G1 nostalgia on this one, won me over

[@Darthpalps24]

How does he scale with Titans return octane

[@chefatron]

okay I guess...

[@godzillamaster077]

Hey do you think this would be a good figure for someone starting a collection?

[@chefatron]

I would usually recommend getting a good optimus prime figure for people starting their transformers collection...

[@Nightbeat9123]

I want a maskless version of the Legacy United Sandstorm, I have decided not to buy it until that happens. Sadly it’s probably not anytime soon though.

[@chefatron]

I'm sure a third party company will give us one

[@philharrison2991]

I like all the modes. The cage is great for posing and displaying.

[@chefatron]

awesome man! yeah, that's what it's for I guess

[@mercer1st]

your 30th Anniversary Sandstorm has a different paint deco than mine. different paint deco version? update: i found it: Hasbro Transformers IDW TG29 Sandstorm Voyager Anime Figure Action Figures Model

[@chefatron]

yeah, this is the Japanese Takara Tomy version under their Transformers Legends 30th Anniversary line

[@richardwhiskers7834]

I heard that the rubber wheels on Beachcomber and Sandstorm aren't actually rubber, but PVC or something? I dunno....

[@chefatron]

oh really? wow! hasbro still being cheap even if they're looking premium...

[@finlayyyyy]

i think we will get a two pack of him in a more cartoon accurate style and a ss86 arcee retool as lifeline

[@chefatron]

hmmm... that sound's interesting....

[@jetguardian28]

Legacy Sandstorm G1, pure premium, so solid quality i like this.

[@chefatron]

yeah definitely bro! love this figure!

[@jotimusprime3943]

Flying Weener Mobile! lol!

[@chefatron]

hahahahahahaha o nga no?!

[@TheWickedOne5150]

I was almost in on this guy. Glad I waited it’s a pass.

[@chefatron]

that's alright man, glad I could help you make your decision

[@kray97]

Yesterday's Voyagers are today's Leaders.

[@chefatron]

sad but true...

[@NickBartolo]

Thrilling 30 version is a much better looking toy.

[@chefatron]

yes, perhaps... as a figure, it really is superior... but the g1 nostalgia with the new one, just won me over

[@Zangief-i3c]

Yes it is, I have it and its even a tad bigger

[@chefatron]

@@Zangief-i3c awesome!

[@miguelarcachero6103]

I'll wait for the new headscuplt of Legacy Sandstorm, rather than the cartoon accurate with faceplate!

[@chefatron]

I'm sure they'll have one for the SS86 line... the faceplate is actually toy accurate I think... because in the cartoon we could see his nose and mouth when he spoke

[@lisaboyle7590]

NICE!!!!!

[@chefatron]

thanks so much !

[@lisaboyle7590]

@@chefatron its a great review

[@chefatron]

@@lisaboyle7590 oh thank you so much, I appreciate you!

✨🤩😀😁🥳

[@chefatron]

thanks buddy!

[@cwartv4937]

Geez I share the planet with u please cage landing heli is useless because you can't pull the string. A real heli would give slack to the cord and not land on cage. Cone on guy 😢😂

[@eugenegodzilla946]

Astrotrain

[@chefatron]

no Sandstorm

[@jessicarie-tp6ti]

the hands (feel like its giving me the middle finger) and the propellers throw me off completely.

[@chefatron]

oh sorry to hear that
