THIS Is How You Do A Motorcycle Transformer | #transformers Animated Deluxe Oil Slick Review

[@rickcs7050]

I'd argue prowl from same line Is also the Best bike bot ever made

[@V1gger_tate]

Hunt for the Deceptacon’s backfire is one of my favorites

[@jinception01]

Samurai prowl was the greatest toy ever and you can't convince me otherwise

[@dustinpahel5950]

I bought both versions of prowl, he’s my favorite character ever, because he’s a ninja bot, and I pulled the tire shurikens and put them on my samurai prowl, then gave the first one to my brother

[@rickcs7050]

@@V1gger_tate I never heard of him, I'll go see a review of him

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

@@jinception01 I won't try to. The only thing that could have made it better would be a second sword.

[@friendlycanadian3150]

Man animated toys always look so clean.

[@nucleonegro9762]

Yeah, i think the line was one of the best ones because of that

[@varevulf6523]

Peak screen to toy designs. Except for swoop.

[@ohmanilovemyguitar]

They captured that cartoonish vibe so well

[@joshuahilliker2364]

The show’s less visually noisy art style, which these toys are mimicking, helps a LOT to keep the designs clean. The art styles of most other Transformers works have more detail, not that it’s a bad thing. It just makes working with the toys harder because you’ve gotta copy this little detail, that one, so on and so forth. Again, not necessarily a bad thing.

[@legoawcstopmotioner9435]

This figure is so much cooler than he has any right to be. But I shouldn't be surprised. Animated delivers fairly consistently.

[@ccggenius]

I'm trying to decide on whether or not this applies to Animated Wreck-Gar... On the one hand, his transformation is basically a giant hunk of kibble, on the other hand, Wreck-Gar IS good for only one thing... JUNK!

[@legoawcstopmotioner9435]

@@ccggenius I get what you're saying. I do say it delivers fairly consistently. And I think he's a good figure for the most part. The alt mode is dumb, but the design it's based on is dumb. He is a serious shell-former, but I've definitely seen worse. And the robot mode looks great. I even like the backpack. I hate how Ratchet's tools look stored on his back and Wreck-Gar's backpack is perfect for the job.

[@giantbonsai8950]

I never saw animated so i always imagined this guy as a kind of pollution themed Mr Freeze from Batman the Animated Series.

[@FastforwardxD]

Animated Prowl is the single greatest bike transformers figure in existence. I really hope you get your hands on it one day. That thing is just straight black magic with how freakin clever it is. Edit: I just processed you had a really old review of animated prowl. Although maybe a revisit video of that guy would be interesting.

[@TheOnlyCathyCat]

Agreed. Even the smaller Core-Class-sized one is really smart I am told. I have been lucky enough to get my hands on the standard version and the Samurai Armour one...and even though the armor is a bit hefty and fiddly to pose him with, it still looks dope and it's an excellent concept.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Samurai Prowl is the best bike former ever made, hands down.

[@hrv3599]

I think its too late to get transformers animated figures you should have get one when it was popular

[@internetjesus]

I love how Oil Slick still holds up. I repainted one of mine to Cy-Kill and haven’t regretted it.

[@samurexatlas7373]

I actually had the Lockdown, and a Ratchet. They were good stuff.

[@devilbringer1102]

The animated line had a lot of bangers

[@Magmafrost13]

Animated period was a good time for bikeformers. Animated Prowl remains one of the best ever made IMO, and 2007 movie Arcee (yes that exists for some reason) is also a steller toy

[@kamensp1der]

Oil slick is a really cool design but I think it's a little unfair to compare him to figures who are trying to be a good looking realistic bike, like arcee, when he's very much not

[@joshuavis2736]

Yea I’d say the animated prowl is a better comparison

[@Ihavethetouch]

You could use that transformation scheme on a more realistic one. But no

[@shydun]

@@Ihavethetouch isn't that what ROTF brimstone is?

[@ilikehydreigon6690]

2:27 reminds me of jobby 😂

[@Curtisthemarinebiologist]

Classic jobby

[@therailfanman2078]

Putitinmya-

[@romxxii]

"this motorcycle is KILLER" is such an apt line considering this is essentially the Cy-Kill transformation. The Animated and Prime lines really had some wonderful examples of "sometimes it's about doing not a lot of stuff." Also see: TFP Vehicons and their roof-shins.

[@reistsolardown]

This figure needs a CHUG iteration. Basically keep the base mold, but add more detail and a G1esque head

[@kahlaarabbani2907]

I'd like to think that animated had some of the best motorcycle transformers. Like this figure and prowl. Unlike other transformers figures where hasbro gives them a car mode for not being able to make good robot from motorcycles.

[@vatogoku123]

It was never my favorite from my collection, but now that I hear your points, I appreciate it more, it certainly felt pretty clean in design, painting, pose, etc.

[@RingoLoadagain]

This figure survived several collection purges just out of sheer awesomeness of the design and how well the figure is designed. I only didn't like the weapons. They're weird and not practical, but the figure is still so worth owning.

[@ThePuff18]

This always has and probably always will be one of if not my FAVORITE bikeformer. Surprisingly, I actually adore the Legacy Arcee mold, but my absolute *Grail* is 2011[I think] Comicon Pink Prime Arcee. But if anything were to surpass PinkPrime I would have to be Oil Slick, but custom painted into the black color scheme Then given Monster decals. That would sell like fucking crack in Vegas

[@RedFireDragon-ix5uc]

Animated had some of the coolest designs. Megatron was a unique take on his design

[@transformersfan8923]

If you want to experience a nice motorcycle transformer, I'd personally recommend the RID Warrior class Fracture.

[@flowrebaz6189]

I had this on original release. Couldn’t pack it when I moved to the USA so I had to sell it. I’m was such a good toy.

[@ryanhernandez5632]

Animated lockdown would look so menacing riding this guy in his chopper form

[@saeklin]

Animated had some brilliant character designers that planned the transformations from the beginning. And I love how unique the proportions are from one character to the next. These last few TF lines have been a bit bland in that regard. Most vehicle transformers today look like traditional mecha which is fine but you can only do so many carformers with the same proportions before they start to copy each other.

[@tommycruz7544]

not even gonna lie legacy needs to make a jet fire, jet storm :Safeguard i absolutely love that figure

[@optisprimusproductions]

"You say it like it's a thing, Autobot" *Turn Rodimus into rust*

[@Arthus850]

Am I really the only one that actually really likes the Legacy Prime Arcee mold?

[@needsmoretacos4807]

Just got this over the summer. A coworker of mine was cutting down on her TF collection and gifted me this for mine and I am so impressed

[@tyjohnson7616]

The gold Lockdown is burning Lockdown and was an animated Hasbro release, the takara adventure one has a giant decepticon insignia on its chest

[@ascensionindustries9631]

Put weed in it? Ha ha. I actually used to keep weed in a Robotech Invid Shock Trooper, cuz mom would never bother to check my toys for weeds.

[@optiTHOMAS]

Absolutely LOVE this figure! I remember getting him eons ago. Him and Prowl are insanely spectacular bike transformers! Some of the best I feel! Such a cool design! Love animated! Good stuff, man! 😁👍🏻

[@superomegaprimemk2]

I have him in my collection, he not been in storage for, well, since I got him, these days, he just hanging out with the Cons G1 Season 1 & 2 cast, more or less, thou its kind of my ideal season 1 & 2 cast (seige & ER figures), because it includes ROTF Lockdown (Not the AOE verison), I just liked that figure and he blends in well with the cons, Oilstick is another that blends in well thou there is one titan master on that shelf in the form of Trigger Happy (I think that's his name, transforms into a jet and is mostly blue with two twin barrel cannons on his robot mode arms)

[@toysmostwanted]

This was one of my 1st two Transformers toys (the other being Shockwave) and it made me fall in love with the franchise. Was so stoked when he showed up in season 3 even for just a bit.

[@janniswoyde757]

This was my favourite transformer as a kid. I loved it so much.

[@theoking2821]

I loved this figure growing up, but he was also one of my only transformers at the time. Over time his chain broke, and I think I lost the lid to his other barrel, but I've always loved this guy

[@dirckthedork-knight1201]

This made be realize something Why have we never had a quadbike transformer?

[@gar2yc]

This guy and me, we have history... Before i got into collecting Transformers i remember seeing this figure in the toy section of a supermarket and i kept thinking about it for a year, the next year we bought it as a child's day gift for some relative's kid, then fast forward to 3 years later i started collecting Generations figures and only had legends ones, i bought him second hand covered in shit, dust and pen ink, my first "deluxe". I disassembled and cleaned him up, rebuilt him, took some kickass pictures and kept him in a box for the next 4 years since i got kicked out of home. I found a place to stay, got my old collection back with the new ones, but had to sell a lot of them due to financial problems during the pandemic, he stayed. Now i'm slowly buying figures again, Oil Slick just joined the display as part of Mayhem, currently he carries Chop Shop in his motorcycle mode, just outside of a grizzly, in-scale chop-shop garage with the rest of my Mayhem Transformers, where he's the center piece.

[@Random_veiwer_ash]

I used to have this one as a kid and boy I wish I still had it

[@NewFerrett]

2:47 you sir are a man of culture

[@Itransformit]

"This video is made for adult collectors because...I said so, that's why" Best reason ever.

[@ethanielm03]

I have this figure and it's always been one of my favorite Decepticons in my collection ever since I was a kid. Animated really was one of the best times for Transformers toys.

[@aczbdk]

The first thing come up in my mind when I see this transformation is Cykill from the Gobot. That's almost exactly how Cykill transform, this one just fold his legs a little more XD.

[@jdashimusprime]

I've had this guy for years, his barrels were awesome

[@thediamondrellik]

Bro I used to have this OilSlick when I was a kid, so nostalgic

[@wetbedsealand6779]

I just love when they come with real chains, Deathsaurus is (hopefully) gonna come with a real chain for his flail

[@afzalhakimbinzairini956]

Also the bike design looks like it came out from a Doom Eternal game because of that goat skull.

[@Noddzie]

Awesome figure, love mine the pipes on feet bend up to help stand better and the ram head clips and locks into sholder as a sholder pad :) this made me grab my collection out of storage :) Takara white Prowl and Rodimus two of my fave in line :)

[@automan224]

This figure was such a peg warmer back in the day

[@chrisgossett2592]

The line about the other barrel and putting your weed in it has me just dead right now. It almost makes me want it just for that feature.

[@sheolsheep6168]

One of my all time fav bikeformers, I bought mine at a con a year ago and he had no weapons or one of his thumbs but he's still pretty great all things considered

[@Technodreamer]

He's staying in my collection forever!

[@whydowefall_]

You forgot to link the Lugnut video (Also I love your videos, keep up the good work!)

[@LaggerKnight]

Hang on, I think I had this figure when I was younger! I think I traded it away to my neighbors though, for their non-transforming TFA bumblebee figure with lights and sounds, that seemed cooler to me at the time. But man, I wish I could get another, because you reminded me how cool this figure was.

[@saygoodbye-sfm]

Fun fact, i loved this dude so much growing up that i basically edited by memory of episodes to feature him. Like i dont think i ever saw the actual scene he was in but whenever i looked back at animated he basically took the place of lockdown and meltdown, i still remembered those two of course but i vividly remembered scenes like lockdowns "one small problem i am the vehicle" scene with oilslick Semi related i did the same for the season 3 episode where head master controls starscream's body but instead of optimus fighting headmaster it was sorri fighting nanosec. I think i dreampt all of these and those dreams just melted together with my actual memory of the show until i actually rewatched it. Weird

[@dustinpahel5950]

I bought both versions of prowl, switched the functioning tire shurikens onto the samurai version, then gave the first one to my brother. Prowl is my all time favorite character ever because he’s a ninja bot. Prowl, Lockdown, and Oilslick are my top 3 favorite characters from the animated line.

[@UltimateTS64]

So much nostalgia, I used to have this figure as a kid. Sucky part was that I was sick when I got it, so I had like no energy to really play with it that much and I ended up breaking it before I got better 😭

[@coolerthanfreezeryee3017]

I absolutely love this guy, I've been looking for a good review of this guy and I found it thanks for the review!! Also try to get your hands on a thrustinator figure it's so cool looking and maybe rare? I haven't seen any online and i found one for 15 bucks and he's great so if you find one get it

[@BlueFoxProductions]

I own both versions of Animated Lockdown, pretty cool and dint have any rubber parts as what I remember.

[@Transfixed]

You're making me wish i hadn't sold mine. Shame he didn't appear more in the show.

[@kristopherkelly4771]

Had him as a kid, one of my favorites

[@decepticontoby]

You can actually unscrew the hands and round off the peg to allow rotation of the hands I did it to mine and it turned out great!

[@DJKCP]

You don't have lockdown yet?! He's definitely one of the best animated toys ever, a muscle car that turns into a freakishly tall robot

[@Ihavethetouch]

That requires modifications because his arms are horrible

[@megatron8449]

@@Ihavethetouch sorta, if you modify it wrong, you WILL snap his wrists.

[@youngf.l.y.1467]

A little more expensive but I prefer the ROTF Version

[@toxikbot5780]

Dope review thanks

[@Doiboy35]

Personally I thought the Legacy Arcee figure was pretty good fun despite its flaws.

[@vustvaleo8068]

he also works as a Mr. Freeze from Batman as a Transformer, lol.

[@landonmoore7692]

I owned 5 off this guy as a kid still have a couple of them today

[@THANATOS-PRIME]

Loved this figure as a kid. He reminds me of something From Hellboy. (His creator Mike Mignola loves to use disembodied heads in jars.)

[@CG-_-]

Had this figure for years and collect most motorcycle transformers missing one of the barrel chains things

[@Remember_Bubblebutt]

I recommend ROTF Trenchmouth, RID 2015 warrior Fracture, and ROTF Brimstone. They're all really cool two wheelers.

[@varevulf6523]

Lockdown is amazing. Deluxe car but voyager robot. Nuts design.

If you're looking for another motocyle ish Transformers toys then I suggest the Thrilling 30 Chromia! Sure it's a "Cybertroian" cycle but it is so good especially when it look like a TRON cycle!

put slime in the one oil drum have the hatch face backwards and open it and let it ooze out. hasbro dosent like slime im not a big fan of it either but it makes an oil slick or toxic spill depending on the slime color.

[@br0k3nvf1n7]

There was another chopper transformer in revenge of the fallen scout class that I think you should try out, though I can’t remember the name for the life of me 😅

[@XaranAlamas]

I wish a Deluxe bike would expand on the Prime Legion Arcee mold, she has a fantastic transformation especially how both wheels fold onto her legs and there's almost no kibble in robot mode. I'd love to see that Transformation expanded on for a larger size class.

[@williamdraven5293]

"And it's animated. What's not to like?" That it's animated. I'm a G1 fan. The art direction in this series was just weird. His weapon is bad ass though, very kinda like SoundWave's batteries becoming a gun and shoulder cannon. I do like his character design, with the toxic colors, the encapsulated head, and the bike look.

[@siniquezu]

Generations Wreckgar is awesome

[@devilwithin1738]

I can see a ss bumblebee race retool being made out of this design for legacy.

[@Loremastrful]

If Lobo's hog transformed it would be Oilslick. I could see them as a bounty hunting duo. Lobo may get the babes but Oilslick makes sure they get paid.
