I don't care what people say, (I've heard people hating on this) I still want it. I've always wanted a new version of the character and I'm glad it's not a Blitzwing repaint.

[@MrFedoraFilm]

I really looking forward to getting the Earthrise mercenary Doubledealer too. Way better then his repainted Blitzwing figure a while back.

[@lyokomajor]

I question those individuals that say the Blitzwing repaint is better.

[@lyokomajor]

@@ArtzzyKid Such is the benefit of triple changers.

[@nameforcomments4092]

To anyone with issues with this figure, I highly encourage watching a review of the G1. I know Peaugh has a nice one from a few years back. G1 inheritance is definitely not a valid excuse for everything, but it's hard to see the original in detail and not like this version a bit better as a result. I do kinda wish they could've kept the dual powermaster for different modes gimmick, though.

[@splonko9788]

The removable engine might be a reference to him being a power master, meaning that Knox and Skar his partners turned into his engine to unlock his transformation

[@rubiconprime1429]

Mafia man Veto Thrilling thirties Doubledealer was a recolour of the notoriously bad thrilling thirties Blitzwing mould. For more on that mould I recommend Jobbythehong’s video on it. I was making a joke that now that there’s an Earthrise Doubledealer, everyone will be trying to sell there old Doubledealers on eBay

I don't collect siege, but this guy was one of my favorites as a kid (with half the accessories missing of course and I didn't even know his name) so this review was very fun to watch for me. Thanks!

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Thanks for checking it out my friend :)

[@daverage4729]

Christ, the dead black eyes of the bird mode still give me the creeps years later. Lol! The bird head always reminded me of the Skexis from 'The Dark Crystal'. Pity they packaged Knox and Skar seperate from Doubledealer. They could have included them - you are paying leader class price after all.

[@Morphgeek]

DoubleDealer:"Well, well, well. Reached an impasse, haven't we? Here's how it is, friends..." *aims guns at Prime & Megs, his shoulder's insignia corresponding to whonever he's pointing at.* DoubleDealer:"First to out bid the other eschews gettin' their head blown to slag."

I just want to thank you for being such an entertaining person and helping me chill out after having to deal with all the bull crap of my family members

Awh wow thanks! Glad I can help

[@RingoLoadagain]

This figure is the perfect example of the good and bad of Earthrise. It's exactly the same as the original figure but with more modern engineering. That's really cool for those who just want that but to me it means they're way less interesting.

[@skyyswaggstudios2934]

I think the g1 theme is really cool for the wfc trilogy, however i think it’s a good idea for the next stuff after kingdom to be either other old transformers interpretations, or something entirely new

[@yaboi5832]

Double dealer is not an autobot or a decepticon he is a mercenary which means he is not on any side. Some other members are Knock,Skar,and Lockdown. Knock and Skar are tapes that can go in his chest. They were originally his powermasters/godmasters in G1

[@LUNITICWILL]

hmm, I wonder if Hasbro will repaint and slightly remold this guy for Cybertron Defense Red Alert to go with Seige Hotshot

[@yaboi5832]

and siege leader prime

[@autotronreviews911]

I'm liking that Primevsprime's intro is getting more and more different to add more personality in his reviews. Keep up the good work!

[@aph1dqueen]

That small removable piece in his torso is an engine,the original figure had Knock and Skar able to replace it and allow him to transform into an Autobot or Decepticon based on who you attached there

[@VorpalSlade]

This character's colour scheme is so nice, gonna be good to finally have a blue WFC figure in my collection. Very worried about those legs, my Jetfire had pegs I had to file down or I felt like I was going to snap stuff. Definitely a case of too well-engineered! :')

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Yeah the legs are for sure an issue when transforming him into bird mode for sure

[@mattwarner3611]

Definitely a nice upgraded version of the G1 and I love that insignia switch

[@godzillaguy5467]

I’ll be adding him as I love the obscure transformers characters

[@stormsigma]

Man, how have I missed your channel?! Definitely subbed!! Your enthusiasm for this guy is infectious, and I now HAVE to get this guy. Wow.

[@absolutecoolguy4290]

I don't care how early anyone else gets new figures, Primevsprime does it better.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Ah thank you! :)

[@monkeyguy80]

I definitely WILL BUY this Double Dealer. I missed the old Double Dealer toy in my 80s bcos I was a kid back then.

[@scalyvaporeon2232]

I could Totally have seen a CYBERTRON DEFENSE REDALERT repainted as Doubledealer as a possible special back in the day :D

[@NightmareZerogbs]

I wish his legs could stretch out juuuust a bit more, that would free up his knee range and improve his proportions a bit

[@mystics1ay3r17]

His abs are sculpted to look like Knok. His power master from his original toy which they also made gen selects versions of. His original toy was an Autobot robot and a decepticon bird with the missile truck being his neutral mode. Knok is his Autobot powermaster and Skar is his decepticon powermaster.

[@knot3d_]

Thanks! He looks great and I think I would enjoy this one even more than my G1 version. Ps. Love the fact the "powermaster" abs unit can detach for easy custom painting.

[@mami.mumemo]

You can remove the engine block and attach it to Knok and Skar's flip out 5cm peg to replicate the powermaster engines.

[@kiemares2516]

The Thrilling 30 failed right off the gate when you consider that the context of his Jet(bird) Mode was supposed to be what the Decepticons see 100% of the tine.

[@barnabus7851]

Kiem Ares Goof point, he had two robot modes not two alt modes.

[@OmicronX-1999]

Your review style has really improved leaps and bounds since the Astrotrain review. Well done. You got yourself a subscriber.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Wow thank you! :)

[@TJsVette]

The waste gimmick is a throwback to his power master. Kinda neat how they put everything in

[@neilharrison8846]

I think this should get a remold as Machine Wars Soundwave. Would work great with the chest cassette storage gimmick...Stalker would be another great figure from this mold!

[@UnfaithfulServant97]

Doubledealer is a great counterpart for Ultra Magnus. Definitely making him a Decepticon to face off against UM.

[@km-8917]

People who had the older version in the past will truly know how to react to this!

[@Quantum_Magnus]

🎵Fill my eyes with that Doubledealer🎵

[@Acidstormstudios]

Cant wait for scorponock

[@gregformercy]

He was a GodMaster/powermaster in G1. Knok and Skar were the PM names. He was DoubleClouder in Masterforce. His human name was Clouder and had Cybertron and Destron armor. Thats why he has the compartment. I assume that was your question but if not... Sorry lol.

[@nameforcomments4092]

As for the removable piece on the stomach, my only theory so far is that it looks like the engine of the bird powermaster, who put him into decepticon mode, which was the bird mode, and thus you'd never have seen that engine there in robot (autobot) mode. That's SUPER obscure, though, but then maybe they had an issue getting the mold to fill that far and opted for a 2-piece solution that also has a little Easter egg.

[@BrendanSith1997]

Piranacon: Who's that new transfomer with Optimus Prime? Doubledealer the powermaster mercenary!

[@visionop8]

This looks damn near identical to the Doubledealer I had as an 8 year old. I see what they're going for there. I actually still have it complete with the two powermaster engines (Knok and Skar). The original did not have the tape storage feature, as a matter of fact, the chest plate was not attached to the figure and would only be put on when in robot mode. It was made to cover the long plastic folding joint that his head was attached to. The chestplate however could be attached to the back of the missile assembly when in vehicle or beast mode and it could hold a powermaster in engine mode. It didnt make much sense though so I never did that lol. My girlfriend just pre-ordered this newer figure for me and I'm really excited now after seeing this review! Great video!

[@Andyrodney12]

Call me weird, but I can see this getting a repaint into Cybertron Defense Red Alert.

[@marcusgurley9495]

Just ordered thanks to this review. Just transformed my G1 for the first time today.

[@docregsportsmd]

That head sculpt is really good

[@gunillagillette1249]

I know he’s a baddie and turns good but it would be cool to see him with lockdown and swindle

[@nameforcomments4092]

I was also thinking he'd go well with TR Sky Shadow, and honestly with POTP Punch/Counterpunch. A shelf of side changers would be fantastic and this guy is a must for such a shelf.

[@bloxybluedevyt2887]

Wait so doubledealer was bad but he’s good now?

[@TheSkyatollah]

Uh, no he isn't. Doubleclouder played both sides in Masterforce, but he's never been a "baddie turned good."

[@nameforcomments4092]

I went to look up his bio a while back and read some story about how he was found, talked into being a Decepticon by the one powermaster, but then later regretted his actions and turned Autobot with the help of the other powermaster.... and now I don't see that anywhere. I know his bio doesn't read like that, but I had thought it was his planned US cartoon storyline or from one of the comics. I'm now thinking it might've been somebody's damn fanfic and I somehow didn't realize. Anyway, glad I've got it right now and that I wasn't the only one confused.

[@crossbones8956]

I picked this guy up and have been very happy. I’m glad he came in bot mode, so he can display well. Very good review and transformation walkthrough

[@nrb12341]

Surprisingly this figure isn't nearly as bad as I thought, great video.

[@ivinbarajas]

This is a Day 1 purchase for sure. That robot mode looks amazing

[@thespaceram2879]

Vamos a jugar barajas.

[@ChaoticDarkness1]

Speaking of the Blitzwing repaint I wonder if we’ll get a new Blitzwing figure hopefully with 3 different faces again to represent his Animated counterpart while still having a G1 accurate body.

[@rpj8961]

Considering how accurate the Earthrise Trilogy is trying to be, I doubt they’ll do the 3-face gimmick. Plus it interfered with the thrilling 30’s head ay. Best to leave that gimmick as a unique trait of the animated character ay.

[@MrFedoraFilm]

The triple charger Decepticon Blitzwing, highly likely to be in the WFC Trilogy toyline. With the three faces gimmick, unlikely.

[@seanh7532]

I don't know what it is about the earthrise but very little of the figures are actually catching my eye unlike siege did. Like I think some figures (including this one) look decent but none are jumping out at me

[@williamthompson5504]

It’s the character choices. The movie characters and the 84/85 bots are the best imo.

[@user-id1yk9po6s]

I'm not too fond of the gaps in the lower region of the figure in particular the thighs, the leader price point can't be justified with these gaps and I hope a 3rd party company makes gap fillers for this figure

[@autobotmegatron6435]

I love the auto bot deception emblem gimmick

[@R3troZone]

First change right off the bat, on the G1 figure the missile attached under the belly of bird mode.

[@derjon5]

Honestly, I wish his missile was larger

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Haha bigger than it already is O_O Hasbro would label it a Titan Class haha :')

[@Emperorparubo]

*inhale* that's what she said

[@NelsonFilmsStudio]

Pablito Magill beat me to it.

[@diisis]

Great review! Doubledealer is nealy perfect! I look forward to your review of Titan Class Scorponock, you probably already have him

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Thanks!

[@PhantomOverlord]

The intro was a surprise to be sure but a welcome one.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Haha thanks!

[@TheWingblade86]

I believe you could add that stomach piece on the back of Knox in robot mode to make him more G1 accurate imho

[@In_The_80s]

This character better be on the show, especially as a merc.

[@kagejonin]

looks like the black clip on the missile may connect to the top of the tank of Overlord or Sky Shadow

[@Howlerx777]

I cant wait to get this guy ever since it came out i wad in awe. WHY CANT CHRISTMAS BE HERE ALREADY!!!

[@UltraMagna89]

Looks like I’ll just never mess with bird mode. And just use robot and truck/base mode

[@Micktrap397]

This could make a great Red Alert retool (sorta)

[@MonoEyedNutJob]

on the truck mode try turning the extra bit upside down,it can cover the head and over all make the truck more believable

[@infernalistgamer]

You put the back piece on upside down in vehicle mode, those pads are stabilizers for dispersing kinetic energy from the rocket. Look at construction equipment like backhoes and power line utility trucks with crane bucket lifts.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

It’s the correct way. It’s the only way it pegs on. Any other way and it won’t peg on due the head

[@gianni9700]

I went to see this video for one important thing, I saw this on IG, and finally knew the name of the figure. This was my very first expensive transformers (I grew up in the Philippines so yeah, expensive lol) that my mom bought as a reward for finishing 2nd grade as first honors. I used to hate it, but now as an adult, I wish I held on to it and now I want one back again! 😭

[@Ryguy0707]

Just got mine today! Got him for nostalgia because I have the very used g1 version at my mom's 😄 Question though. There is this red square that came tapped to the back of the plastic packaging but I'm not sure what it's used for.

[@michaellombardi1620]

[@Shockwave-ob2tx]

Hadn't planned on getting this, but after leaving off some of the accessories and painting it black, it will be a perfect IDW Roller

[@niallwatts1381]

The removable section on the torso is a nod to the original who was a power master a small figure would plug in so you could transform the doubledealer

[@Reeping]

I think a good idea for them to release a leader class sixshot figure

[@userre0986]

Only waiting for all studio series to be in stock

[@Ryochi2011]

He's a great update. much better than that Blitzwing repaint that came out a while back. I'm wondering if you could plug prime masters to him since he was a double power master in the old toyline. I think thats what the removable engine is for.

[@kabuto1859]

Yes, Doubledealer was a Powermaster Triple-Changer.

Holy shit I didn’t know there was a another guy that held cassettes !!!! Damn man I gotta scrounging for this guy now lmaoooo

[@DarkdustDragon]

I have actually seen people complaining that this guy isn't a double Powermaster like in G1 and I'm just thinking, "...Yeah I'll stick with the toy that isn't unable to transform into one mode if I lose one of his little buddies."

[@UnfaithfulServant97]

Just wished they filled out the hollow legs in the robot mode.

[@Alex876]

will definatly get this powermaster

[@JONNYSORENSEN_AU]

Doubledealer looks great and I will definitely get one. Good to see they have him a wrist swivel. It was rubbish that Sixshot didn't get one and I dont get why Hasbro cheaps out on their leader figures (higher price point whatever 5$^$@%ing scale it is) over the last five years. Like what it costs them a million dollars to put in a wrist swivel? It's just BS when you don't get on on a leader figure, it's a BASIC feature of action figures for like two decades at least.

[@M1ndsk1m]

I flipped the back piece. Folds up over the head and the legs go out 90 degrees for the hydraulic stability when launching the rocket

[@natsu2010]

Look forward to combining Doubledealer with Airwave that is coming.

[@gamecock_1960]

He reminds me of cybertron defense red alert

[@marypatry7750]

[@gaymerknight3726]

A little disappointed he doesn’t have the Mercenary insignias that he does in the show. I mean the symbol changing is a cool feature, toy wise, but mercenaries don’t dawn allegiance colors, regardless who pays them. They’re always their own agents

[@IM-xs3uv]

Had the original as a kid and it confused the hell out of me.

[@michaelsmiley15]

The transformation doesn't look all that different from the G1 double dealer this one has a little bit more detail something about that g1 double dealer he was a power master and this figure obviously is not Something I don't like is the diecast plastic at the joint seemed to be extremely rigid and having very difficulty coming loose and I'm wondering if there's any like lubricant you can apply rubbing alcohol potentially something along those lines to maybe grease up the gears when you're trying to manipulate the figure and to actually transform it from one mode to the next
