The Best Legends Class Has To Offer?? | #transformers Power Of The Primes Battletrap

[@RobinSwede]

Props to this guy for being perhaps the funniest transformers meme: “Nice shoes” “Thanks they’re vans”

[@ThePuff18]

That made me violently angry and I LOVE it

[@Juggernautiluss]

The pegs on road trap are for a headmaster to sit on it

[@OptimusMonk01]

shame it didn't occur to them to use same for the helicopter to dock.

[@Toxic3610]

Actually, it’s for prime masters

[@dariusq8894]

@@Toxic3610 Really, you could use either interchangeably for this purpose. I like to use "Titan Master" Skytread since this way Battletrap gets a weapon.

[@Juggernautiluss]

@Toxic3610 tbf, they share they same design so either works

[@Undrave]

And the copter had them on the tail too.

[@dubziscool]

i am going to regret not getting roadtrap for the rest of my life

[@Ultracharge9]

Same hereeee

[@OptimusMonk01]

it's still shelf warming even now

[@AYO_TFSideswipe]

Why y'all regret? He only double the price now on eBay and bout he price of a normal voyager toy

[@Itransformit]

Why did you skip him? The moment I saw these two and they showed they could combine, it was an instant buy for me.

[@Itransformit]

@@AYO_TFSideswipe: Interesting, since these figures were readily available for several months and didn't even sell that well where I lived. I even ended up with extra copies of them (due to buying robot lots here and there) and it took ages for me to sell the extra copies because people either had them already or didn't want them at all.

[@just_decibelio4605]

Funny enough, Dropkick (2018) looks more like Battletrap than Battletrap from Rise of the beasts

[@Megatron44567]

[@jacliffh9221]

the botcon battletrap did become dropkick in my collection ngl

[@WilliamMoeller-rr2op]

Rotb battletrap is just a way better design for the character though

[@GodEmperorSupremeLeader]

@@WilliamMoeller-rr2opcool design, wasted character

[@oliverhendrix8176]

RoTB Battletrap was just way for a Hasbro to refresh their trademark on the name.

[@Skyyvern]

the pegs on roadtraps roof are for titan/prime masters to "ride" him which looks as weird as it sounds

[@ClpZ-Studios1]

😮

[@Erathiatw]

I love these two, and I was so surprised to find that a lot of people seemed to hate them. These two almost never leave my desk as fidget toys. Battleslash's roto can spin pretty well, but his arms have to be perfectly folded in and the cockpit tabbed to the arm piece. There's two tabs on the arms that actually will fit in to little notches and you know it's right because the rotor will spin pretty freely.

[@djdee6386]

The gimmick is truly legendary. Wish they did more of them for Legacy.

[@treebotreviews]

3:27 why’s bro so pissed off? He got his own robot mode for once!

[@nuhaffendi6453]

Because he's going in someone's ass and not the other way round. Wait -

[@nekroman524]

From an old Emgo video it shows a titan master attaching to those two rectangle pegs on top of Road trap.

[@Zyugo]

I'm glad I got this guy, 6 years ago, and to this day, I still play with Battletrap on occasion. Their combination is almost like Armada Jet Optimus doing a bit of Powerlinx, which is quite dope.

[@lukasgemmill8084]

These two were some of my first transformers when I was getting back into collecting. I managed to get them both for around $20. Battleslash remains one of my favourite transformers, and the combined form is amazing.

[@HelenaSan425]

BattleSlash is Blackout's lost son Confirmed

[@Megatron44567]

Blackout left to get the energon💀☠️

[@HereComesChar]

I remember finding both of them on the shelf at the same time when these guys were new, still one of my favorite figures of that era

[@loocas408]

These guys were my holy grail and I happened to stumble upon them at a random thrift shop. I’ll never forget that day

[@Donavanw28]

I’d love them to make like 2 voyager or deluxe figures that combine into battletrap. And just have a massive combine mode

[@krank23]

I like this toy too! I kind of like splaying out Battleslash's arms instead of folding them on Battletrap's back. It makes him look a little General Grevous-y, and also gives him at least *some* sort of weapon…

[@BadooPlays]

I love the way you take your time to show off all the details of the toys

[@Kraiglyndor]

There’s a way to mistransform the arms in combined mode to flip the helicopter blades outwards so they can spin. 1. Splay the arm connections out behind the combined mode arms. 2. Rotate the bare arm so that the tab is facing the blade arm 3. Rotate the blade arm so the blade is facing away and the slot is facing away from the bare arm. 4. Keep the bare arm straight and bend the blade arm 90 degrees. 5. Tab the arms together in a V shape. This fixes the blade being pointed straight down and allows the blade to spin freely, though the shoulders will resemble Battleslash’s shoulders from robot mode. I also like to bend Roadtrap’s arms instead of keeping them straight and I don’t think the video mentioned using the rear helicopter blades as chakram style weapons.

[@guy_gen]

The 2 poking tabs on both road trap and battle slash were meant for titan masters to "ride" them (because the "calves" of all the headmasters have 2 vertical slots for tabs to plug into)... Idk why, but that's what all core class in the titans return line did...

[@ShinyRowletGuy]

Wait that's cool, why didn't rotb do this?? We never see triple changers in films let alone duo cons

[@DragoonMS]

...did you see the Bumblebee Movie? Dropkick & Shatter were both Triple Changers. Sucks Hasbruh couldn't do that for the toys. Also, AoE Drift was apparently a Triple Changer as well.

[@ShinyRowletGuy]

@@DragoonMS yeah we only got those three. When I said "we never see" it was hyperbole. I was aware of those three

[@MinosPrimethekingoflust]

​@ShinyRowletGuy yeah was boutta say that what they said but yeah we do never see triples, maybe in the next movie we'll get blitzwing?

[@ShinyRowletGuy]

@MinosPrimethekingoflust sorry to say the Blitzwing was in Bumblebee at the start and died so we probably won't be seeing him

[@MinosPrimethekingoflust]

@ShinyRowletGuy oh right that first guy was blitzwing, I forgot bout that

[@parabloicanomaly]

i genuinely love these two

[@Lupenux]

It was good. It's sad that Siege Flywheels wasn't made like Battletrap. Those pegs on the car's roof are for Prime Master / Titan Master. You can use one on the back of helicopter too.

[@Bonkstorm]

So Battleslash’s rotor does rotate. You need to pull the arms up ever so slightly so that it can rotate freely.

[@Robogeek28]

This was a cool set, and I appreciate how good they made it, but I really want a remake to go with Siege Flywheels now.

[@mikalorean8165]

Missed opportunity for a “do those legs go all the way up” joke

[@porakiyadraekojin3390]

Hasbro needs to do more toys like this. I, myself, have an awesome idea for Tigerhawk. Tigatron with a Tiger II tank mode (and a tiger mode) and Airazor with an F-22 Raptor alt mode (and the hawk/falcon mode). And make it so that they can conbine for a combined robot mode and combined beast mode (and possibly a combined vehicle mode)

[@AlexReynard]

I only just now noticed that Battleslash did the back-mounted shoulder ball joints before Kingdom Rattrap did. Here I'd been giving ratboy props for such an unusual choice.

[@Chokun-Gaming]

Power of the primes was one of the exceedingly few times transformers generations toys were somewhat widely available here in Finland, so I was lucky enough to find and get both of these (for 20€ each 😦), they're still some of my favorite figures to mess around with

[@Iggy93]

I actually really lucked out earlier in the year and managed to get both of them along with PotP Outback, Tailgate and Beachcomber! The boxes were opened, but otherwise seemed as if sealed. My understanding is they were display only and the figs would suggest so. All for £40!

[@TheWatchfulCollector]

It’s about time everyone stops sleeping on BattleTrap, I feel like the only fans were me and Thew

[@desk-kun]

Thew introduced me to this figure lmeo

[@eventprogenitor1873]

Thew is he still around.... owch

[@Skritz-mt9zb]

I would have loved an entire subline of Legends class figures with a combining gimmick shared for all of them. Like Energon's Autobots but with dedicated top and bottom.

[@allenusison3124]

To be fair, Flywheel existed in a time where the next replacement of the Legends Class doesn't exist. Had we have Core Class back then, Flywheel would surely be two separate robots that combine into one.

[@zacwilhite3247]

One of my kids randomly had these in his toy bin a while back and i had no idea they even combined.

[@Coboxite]

The two nubs on road trap are for titan/prime masters to sit on. It's...a thing you could theoretically do

[@duskbringer4583]

Would love to see Botcon approach on this one again, from Retool from Springer.

[@nottherealsimple]

I like to collect collect various types of combiners. This one is fun but has its pitfalls. My favorite is a minicon combiner named Centuritron. I wish these ideas would get revisited

[@thegundamguy]

I remember buying these guys for £4 each in an Entertainer store that was closing in England. They're up there as one of the best Transformers purchases I've made on a bargain hunt.

[@noobydragonz]

8:10 Head hands and legs are blue, Bot is rocking a white shirt and black speedo (the speedo is why he doesn't have the G1 crotch gun)

[@anthonyj.castillo2563]

with that logic optimus is like a summer dad with a red long sleeve and gray shorts

[@goldarnit]

The trouble is, in giving these guys separate robot modes it leads to a lot of compromises in the design. For all that it's a nice idea Skytread pulls it off better just by doing his thing and doing it well. I'm still super glad we got both the Duocons in modern form though, they're cool toys.

[@project4061]

As someone who owns a Battleslash, a couple things: 1: You can have the rotor blades spin in vehicle mode, you just need to position the arms in a specific way. 2: 5:36 I believe that's a quality control issue since I don't have that issue on my copy.

[@AAX1975]

Wow. These are great! I didn't start collecting till the WFC series but I'm going back and picking up stuff from previous lines that I really like. I think these are really cool.

[@UltimateGopnik]

I had this toy, lost the rotor blade. Still in love with it.

[@KapitalByoulikewaffles]

Hey my first two figures I bought with my own money! Was shocked to find out they were a grail item

[@NYPHR0D4K]

i once had a 3 way transformer that was similar to this. one was a tank, one was a jet, and i forget what the third one was. The tank formed the legs, the jet formed part of the torso, while the third part formed the rest of the whole. I forget what it was called and its been so long that i forget what all but the tank looks like.

[@Zyugo]

The third one was a helicopter. And the Transformer set you were referring to was the Minicon Assault Team.

[@nikono7805]

I remember buying these when they were available at Walmart, but I was unaware that they combined, so when I found out they did combine and combined them, my little, dumb kid mind was blown.

[@fen4554]

7:12 instead of them facing back and down, you flip the hinges the other way and peg the arms in the reverse direction making for a nice overhead copter backback. It's a little tricky because there is less clearance but it works.

[@NinAmuro57]

I used to own these two (and I really regret selling them...), and I never liked the stock configuration for the back. I folded the arms the other way so I could bend Battleslash's elbows first, then tab em together, and it gives Battletrap a propeller. It gets out of the way a lot better, and I digged how it looked more.

[@Noveler00]

I like to reorient Battleslash's arm in the combiner form so that it looks like a rotor backpack. The rotor blad would be at an angle and over the combiner head. It isn't a graceful flight mode, but feel it looks better than a rotor blade sticking out from its ass.

[@Zyugo]

I also use that gimmick to hold Titans Return Skytread as a shoulder/backpack cannon akin to the G1 Battletrap gimmick.

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

Holy Moly, I was just messing around with Battleslash as this video dropped!

[@justinmontana3710]

This is one of my favorite figures (figure sets, I guess) in part because of the universal grind to get him. Roadtrap was super easy to get, but Battleslash was a capital P PAIN to track down. Honestly, I wish they did the same thing with Flywheels

[@Sardaukar_]

I got incredibly lucky just a few months ago and got this guy, Skytread, and the 2012 FOC Shockwave from an incredibly nice person on eBay for $50 shipped. They've all been permanent desk figures since then; I wish we'd get more duocons, they're such a cool concept.

[@theotakux5959]

I only have these two because I found them at a random Kmart. They had these two and Bumblebee (who I also got). Also gave Roadtrap an old Generations WFC Prime's gun. In Roadtrap mode I have the gun in it's smaller mode, and expand it for Battletrap.

[@DemonsForge]

1:06 those nubbins are for plugging Titan Masters/Power Masters, and if you look at the tail of the chopper you'll see a similar pair of nubbins :3

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

For a Legends class combiner this is pretty impressive. Would be amazing to see these two with a Deluxe scale in which they could form a Voyager Class figure. Only time I remember that being done conceptually was Energon, and that gimmick hasn't aged well.

[@ryandubeau5298]

I always wanted a Beast Wars duocon after seeing Rattrap and Dinobot together. On a side note, POTP gave us a _different_ dinobot in Slash. I wanted to see if she was connected, however whenever I searched for "rattrap dinobot slash" I just get links to Ao3. Good stuff there though.

[@KaoticKitsune]

The best part of these two is that because the connection is identical, you can switch them out with either of Flywheel's parts

[@tronlives1004]

Honestly I’m so happy that I found this set at my local toy shop together

[@dialNforNinja]

I actually managed to get this guy for US $35... as part of an ebay lot with FLywheels AND Pounce & Wingspan. Really made my day, since I didn't have any of them, just the Slamdance repaint of Flywheels from the box set with G2 Black Sideswipe. Now I can have bluepants with bluejet and redpants with redjet if I want, and brownpants with white copter isn't bad either.

[@straker454]

I hate to say it but I prefer Flywheels. The combined mode is much more solid thanks to each half of him not needing to have a robot mode to deal with and each vehicle mode also looks more coherent. I do have this figure too, but if they ever did a Battletrap in the same way they did Flywheels I'd replace him.

Weapons were designed for them but it wasn't in the budget. I like to fold his arms in a way that puts the blade facing outward so I can spin it.

For combined mode, I like to turn Roadtrap's forearms 180. They seem to tuck in just a little more ...sightly? Like, the opposite of unsightly?

[@OMGEPICJESH]

[@Itransformit]

It's interesting that Roadtrap is so easy he's kind of a core class figure in complexity, while Battleslash borders on Voyager complexity. I bought both of them as soon as I could, of course. I reallly would have liked the same concept for Skytread/Flywheels, but whatever. I do another thing with the arms so his rotor becomes more of a weapon that can be used. Overall a very solid and interesting figure(s).

[@Windrazor8403]

The story goes is for battle trapped in flywheels that they originally had robot modes that could combine but Shock wave experimented on them.Making 2 vehicles to go into one robot.Also the pegs in the vehicle modes are for the titan masters

[@GojimusPrime200]

I remember I got both of them together for like 5 dollars at a Kroger back when they came out.

[@Tankhunter_48]

I get why people like Battleslash and Roadtrap, but Battletrap himself ends up so compromised from having two seperate bot modes that I just can't get myself to enjoy him. I really prefer what they did with Skytread/Flywheels by removing the bot modes.

[@iAmDru12]

Really? I have both, and Flywheel always felt more compromised. Sure, he may have good knees as opposed to Battletrap, but Flywheel's stubby arms and kinda clunky looking vehicle modes kinda make him kinda eh IMO.

[@Zyugo]

Both Duocons had their pros and cons in terms of their designs being eras apart yet sharing the same connector peg system that had never been utilized properly.

I bought mine for £15 each on Kapow Toys and I absolutly love them, yeah both individual bots have minor issues but the combined mode is jus so good. As for weapons, I gave them the twin blasters that came with the recent Blitzwing (Don't worry, Blitzwing got 2 Target Masters to repace his original blasters) And while a little out of scale for them individually they look great great for his combined mode

[@crashman27]

Because of battleslash's heel spur, the combined mode can do a one handed handstand

[@Byrdstar6423-un3me]

Ah yes the guy who wants a real fight

[@darrenbent7601]

And he combines perfectly with Siege Deluxe Flywheels too.

[@HidaAtarasi]

The odd tabs (they’re on both altmodes) are so they can interact (badly) with Titan Masters, one has no seat to ‘sit’ on, and the other is millimeters away from getting their arms cut off by the helicopter blades. I suppose an Enigma of Combination is less dubious, but it fits worse…

[@cujobanks]

The nonnef kit made this even better

[@dariusq8894]

Easily on my top 10 bots list going back as far as Combiner Wars. I even love the awkward stance and articulation. Personally, I like to adjust Battle Clash's arms in combined mode so that Battletrap has a propeller backpack for flying around. 🤓

[@a-tick]

I sanded the ends of the propeller a bit on mine. That way he can hold it like a sword 😊

I had Mirage and Flywheels as a kid, those were my only two transformers. And Mirage didn't survive my childhood, so Flywheels is my only original G1 Transformer.

[@loothhussainfazeel855]

There should be more bots like the duocons, micromaster combiners and og decepticon powermasters (overlord, dreadwind and darkwing). More diverse transformation schemes is always a good thing. Side bit: IMO voyager scale would be the best way to make duocons, or two deluxes

The individual robot modes give me Animated vibes for some reason. I guess though unintentional, they kinda have exaggerated proportions and that's where it's coming from.
