[@nameforcomments4092]

I'm actively ambivalent on that Mirage. They definitely spiffed up the back and arms, might have reworked the whole torso transformation for better and worse (we'll see), and at least used new bits in the knees, but it's still kinda... eh. And the way they're throwing him in with the Dinobot recolor and doing them as an exclusive is kinda criminal.

*narrator voice* They did, in fact, reveal a better Mirage the day before, but with less than 24 hours between the announcement and the video going up, there was no time to correct that error

[@apolloknight9521]

I’m one of those people that got mixed up between Bluestreak and Smokescreen. For reasons being because of their color, when I heard the name Bluestreak my mind naturally made me assumed that Smokescreen is Bluestreak because he’s well blue while I assume Bluestreak is Smokescreen. As I said, their names tend to confuse me, as someone who as new in the Transformers Fandom.

[@cosmicboi1650]

[@h8GW]

Thanks for pointing that out. It's still pretty hilarious after being explained. Moving the rig to shadow Smokesc-...Bluestreak's horizontal movement would have brought it home.

[@MrFedoraFilm]

Oh my god, the opening skit. XD. When I was first introduce to Bluestreak and Smokescreen, yes, I too got the names mixed up because of their 1:34 color schemes. -The dramatic shooting pose 17:47 is cool. But the flying kick 17:50 amination is awesome.

[@decepticonaiden]

This has been one of my favourite Earthrise molds. Barricade is probably my favourite version of it, as Barricade is one of my favourite TF characters

[@BurntTM]

Barricade is my favorite version of this mold and Prowl (Earthrise) I dont even have ER Prowl and I'm annoyed.. I have ER Barricade though!

[@theenigma3886]

Since my Earthrise Smokescreen should be here soon, this should be a interesting watch. Edit: Forgot to order Smokescreen, but still got Airazor and Runamuck.

[@darknightdown]

Definitely agree that these are the best versions of these characters, though aesthetically speaking I find Smokescreen better, as he has painted legs, where as Bluestreak and Prowl look like their legs are made out of glass, shame Hasbro couldn't splash a bit of paint on them, or you know, stop using brittle, breakable, clear plastic altogether 🤷🏻‍♂️ maybe the with the upcoming price increases they can afford to stop using it, but anyway nice review, really enjoyed it, thank you.

[@L1LegoAnimations]

Prowl having that younger looking head was one of my gripes with the ER version too. It's more cartoon accurate from what I can tell, but I liked the idea of all 3 having different variations of essentially the same head design.

[@OG.Trippster]

"Only if they made a better Mirage" The timing was impecable..

[@reyonXIII]

Were it not for my sheer nervousness with the knees on both Siege and Earthrise versions of the Datsuns, I'd feel far more bummed that I can't get Prowl and Barricade (the ones I have an attachment to) on their own, coz these molds DO look amazing! As is, considering they're also kinda victims of Hasbro's unreasonably rampant exclusivity last year (such that I was actually fortunate to get Ironhide on his own, and at least SG Ratchet is "shelfwarming" for cheap so i can just paint him up), I don't feel too bad settling for Combiner Wars Prowl and TLK Premiere Edition Barricade with a Shapeways head.

[@karatemonkey82]

[@animeking1357]

I love the lore in Lazy Eyebrow's videos that Megatron and Optimus have an understanding that every so often one of them must scheme against the other and if they fail then they must let the other go. Wait wait wait. Bluestreak is the grey one? Wat. Who at Hasbro thought that up?

[@charlestaylor3963]

Just wanted to say that I FREAKING LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVVV!!! This channel, I think I first found it in my feed, and I commented on the Jazz figure and how much I ENJOY your stop motion, don't know how old you are, but I saw the original Transformers the movie in 1986 when it came out, and have the director's uncut version on the 20th Anniversary DVD edition, any to make a long story short, your stop motion and portrail of the characters just gets me in the FEELS!!! I feel like a kid again watching Transformers after school, well technically I had just graduated before the movie came out that summer, but the cartoon was still running in the afternoon, I also really enjoyed your reviews, and again your stop motion is THE BEST!!!!!! that I've seen to date, especially the bumpers they have that classic old school stop motion feel, but with a crisp clean edge to them, they always put a SMILE on my face, on average how long does it take you to do them??? THXZZZ for the SMILES!!!

[@mdredheadguy1979]

At first I had been wishing I had skipped the Siege line and started collecting the Earthrise versions of these figures. But then I started hearing about all of the quality control issues with the Earthrise line. So now I’m glade I have the Siege figures that I wanted and just need a few Earthrise figures to round out my collection. With all of that out of the way, thanks for another great review LEB!

[@Alzeal07]

you have no idea how much I love the fact that you don't collect mp and customize your figures

[@senipain2785]

I know for me at least, I couldn't stand the Siege Datsons as I thought both robot and vehicle mode looked like complete trash to me. When I saw pics of the Earthrise versions... I could already feel my money slipping free from my poor abused wallet

[@ItSaBeastNerd]

If you wanna save money start buying instant ramen for a week so you don’t use up too much money. The money you want for the figures won’t be and issue.

[@BurntTM]

I NEED to get Siege Prowl because I don't have Earthrise. I dont care for the Siege alt mode I just care for the robot mode!

[@lancebot8224]

Bluestreak is probably the most stylish figure I have in my collection next to SS86 Hot Rod and Jazz. Glad to see a review of him!

[@cartkart1]

My earthrise smokescreen has a splotch of green paint on the back of his head and really loose knees, and when I transformed him once the peg on the inside of the shins got a stress mark. Now he can’t even transform at all, thanks Hasbro for your amazing QC work!

[@Toon_Lucario]

[@Bobsheaux]

"Computer over?? Virus = Very Yes?? That's not a good prize! ...And the Teletraan just peed my carpet." re: custom headlights - I need to take this opportunity to say that I am so happy that I found this channel. It never occurred to me that modifying figures was an option, and as such, I've taken the liberty of spraying some rubber soles onto the heels, as well as securing the ankles of my Orthia combiner. Sure, she still suffers from some ratchet joints being flimsier than they should be (and I'm open to any suggestions on how to fix that), but just getting the feet to CONNECT to the legs like they're supposed to and not slipping and sliding around under her own weight is a VAST improvement. "And it isn't a movie-verse figure." Yeah, how DID Barricade get so popular that he's been reverse-engineered into a G1 character? Is it because he's the only other Decepticon who actually... TALKED?? You mean that these characters actually SAYING THINGS beyond just snarling and growling and declaring their names MIGHT just be IMPORTANT??? Get the f*** out of here...

[@chriscaseyg9362]

Two of my faves as well. And this review comes out just in time for my birthday no less. Score!

[@raymond4592]

the drive off animation at the end was very well animated

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

Why thank you senator

[@OfficialFinnTheDiamondKnight35]

About the molding issue of the legs/shins and the roof not aligned properly, you're right on that. However, some copies of the Earthrise Datsun molds have different shin pieces in which dubbed the "open-knee" and "close-knee" versions. To explain and identify which one, the shins may differ on the copy: the open-knee version has a gap, which allows the roof to be aligned properly. The closed-knee version is most likely the one that caused the roof to be misaligned.

[@mikeaschevez2045]

wow great video G! Excellent animations and I really liked your dialogue. keep it up friend :)

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

[@SigmAnalog]

Lucky you--every Walgreen's I've been to in the past year has had its entire stock of Transformers cleared out. Which seriously sucks, 'cos Bluestreak was my first G1 figure and has been one of my favorite characters for a long time. Ah, well--I'll get him one a' these days. As a side note, I _love_ the custom headlight inserts you made--they really do bring out more of the classic 280ZX elements of the altmode. When I finally _do_ get myself a Bluestreak (and, if I'm so fortunate, a Smokescreen and a Desk-fli--I mean Prowl), I'll be hitting you up for upgrades. :D

I guess I got fairly lucky with mine, having 3 out of the 4 not having the annoying roof problem.
