Transformers G.I. Joe Soundwave Dreadnok Thunder Machine Zartan & Zarana

[@Ccreatur3]

pretty cool crossover.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Yeah really cool. Thanks for watching.

[@SergioMarquez-vh3gj]

Thanks for putting the figures and the transformers side by side with the originals

[@ActionRobotPunch]

No problem 👍 I'm glad that was helpful.

[@Transfixed]

Yeah that was great to see! I no longer have my Thunder Machine. After Batman came out in 1989 i took the jet engine off and glued it to my Snow Cat to make a Batmobile 🤦‍♂Not sure what happened to the rest of it.

[@justinsixx90]

I loved the Thunder Machine as a lad!!

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Cool and thanks for watching.

[@equesfuscus]

Fine details aside, the Thunder Machine looks as good as the original, and the Soundwave Transformer also looks like the one my brother had as a kid. Kudos to the engineers who designed this. A lot of cleverness went into making this one apparatus into two totally distinct and viable toys in their own right. I wonder how long it took them to figure out the design. Impressive.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Totally agree. Amazing engineering.

[@gbpackers5578]

That 80’s Walkman cameo @6:44 was perfect!! Lol!! 🤣😂 I remember when the ‘auto-reverse’ function came out…blew my mind!! 🤯🤯 Great vid…thanks for sharing!

[@ActionRobotPunch]

My wife and I were just talking about mix tapes. This toy brought me back. Thanks for watching.

[@stephenp2424]

Super 7 announced they’re coming out with o-ring figures in the fall of 2024! They said they’ll be making characters from the both Sunbow and Dic cartoons and the comics🎉🎉🎉 Very excited about that. I hope that includes the movie. Would love to get “Once-a-man” Commander that’s reasonably priced. Great review. Can’t wait to get mine. Want to see him next to the Megatron fig.

[@Shadoslavia]

I Just Hope For The Oktober Guard And The Admiral From "Sink The Montana"

[@ActionRobotPunch]

I’m very excited about this. And I love that they want to focus on the characters we never got. Thanks for watching.

[@stephenp2424]

@@Shadoslavia Totally!

[@TFMultiverse]

Great review! Glad to find your channel - I got three minutes into a review by an ostensible TF expert and had to bail when they didn't know what an o-ring was. 😂🙌

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Glad you like the video and that you found the channel. Thanks for watching.

[@bigsteed007]

That new Zartan is killer!!

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Totally agree. It's a great set.

[@chadryan9900]

Got mine from Pulse last week. Really love it. Though I am going to keep mine in Thunder Machine mode.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Good choice! I probably will as well since it'll be with my Joes.

[@Roadpigjohn]

This set looks cool man... I didn't know the faces look better...

[@ActionRobotPunch]

I guess they wanted to add a little more detail. Thanks for watching.

[@thousandwolves952]

Wow thats Masterpiece Ravage.....

[@DevilzFan]

It's not actually. Masterpiece Ravage has a totally different transformation. I'm surprised they didn't use the masterpiece Ravage and went with something new instead.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Is the masterpiece like the original with die-cast parts?

[@thousandwolves952]

@@ActionRobotPunch no its identical to your blue one .

[@DevilzFan]

@@ActionRobotPunch no die cast on the Masterpiece Ravage unfortunately

[@thespaceram2879]

​​@@DevilzFan It has the same transformation as mp Ravage. It is a repaint with that same mold. All the mp cassettes fit on his chest. Wish they made that door clear instead of tint. So they can be seen better inside.

[@roberthuffer6591]

Behold! Sound Machine!

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Ha, I like it. Thanks for watching.

[@humble1ne]

Thanks for this cool review! I have 2 on the way and I'm lookin forward to getting them. I always favored Soundwave, with Ravage being my favorite cassette, and Zartan was always a favorite Joe fig so it's cool to have them all in one set.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks 👍

[@markmmm667]

Thanks for the review. Thought I'd like this more. Glad I didn't waste my time and money.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Cool man. Glad it helped you out. Thanks for watching.

[@toyhunterslasvegas]

I got mine on Thursday. I really like it for display purposes. I grew up in the ARAH and Transformers heyday that being said,at my age now,its about the fun of displaying it not playing in the dirt with it so whether or not it functions perfectly or is 100% true to the vintage stuff is not my main concern. The fact i can look at it in my display case and smile is worth the money i paid for it. Haters gonna hate. I love it.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Glad to hear you love it. I love mine as well. Great toy.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

I utterly adore these crossovers. G.I. Joe Transformers have been something I wanted for so long ever since I became a fan of both series, so if I find this dude under $200 AUD I'm deffo gonna pick it up to go with my HISS Megatron.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

I’m with you. I hope you can find it at the right price 👍

[@shogunfox7141]

Just wait till summer. He'll be on clearance for $50.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

​@@shogunfox7141 My dude, it _is_ summer.

[@newwavepop]

i am like the only person that was never into Transformers, they came out when i was a kid and all my friends went crazy for them and i ended up getting Soundwave just because all my friends had Transformers. and i chose Soundwave because i was just discovering and getting into music at the time and i had one of those little portable tape recorders i took everywhere with me and thats what Soundwave reminded me of, it is the only Transformer i ever had and unlike most of my old toys i have zero idea what ever happened to it. i also am not particularly interested in O ring Joes anymore and really love the modern build Joes which they also no longer are making. BUT this set did the one possible thing that could make me buy a Transformer or a new O ring Joe especially for a hundred effing dollars, they chose Zarana. gahdamnit! i have a thing for the Zarana figure, and i dont know why. i will NEVER buy a 6" figure and they tried to trick me there by making Zarana but i have zero interest. but they suckered me in by making a new O ring Zarana with just a slightly different mold. i guess it is cool that if i have to own a Transformer now it is literally the same one as the only one i have ever owned before.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Thanks for watching.

[@OldManTheseDays]

If I could take some toys back to my 9 year old self, it would be the Joe/transformer crossover toys. I used to dream about Transformers that could fit Joe/Cobra figures, and now there are what- THREE of them?

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Totally agree. These mashups are amazing.

[@markwhiteraven]

Can’t wait to have mine. Great review!

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Hope you enjoy it! And thanks for watching.

[@JoePal-c3n]

Mine doesn’t click together and the triple t already might be on sale

[@ActionRobotPunch]

It can be tough to line things up. It’s cool we’ll be getting a new sgt. slaughter figure.

[@lokiwartooth1138]

2:43 and she’s missing her shoulder armor that’s a no go for me!!!

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Yeah not sure why they left that out. Thanks for watching.

[@gandalflotr2898]

Missed opportunity for cold slither version

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Maybe next year! Thanks for watching.

[@ThomasLanding]

What kind of plastic are made of the new GIJoe figures?

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Good quality. The plastic in the hands is flexible so you don't have to worry about breaking the thumbs. I'm a fan.

[@Mighty-VizioN]

Next is the triple t tank and Sergeant slaughter

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Thanks for the info. That's cool the Sarge is coming back.

[@timothycorl9675]

next one is supposed to be Sargent Kup

[@ActionRobotPunch]

I don’t remember Sargent Kup. Is he an Autobot? Im only familiar with the old school cartoon. Thanks for watching.

[@evanlindsey1100]

Kup, the old timer from the 86 movie and season 3.

[@andrewsherwin966]

I hope they do Powerglide.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

That would be a good one. Here's to hoping they keep making these for years to come.

[@MissingLinkMTB]

I'm kinda excited to have Soundwave, which I never owned. Thunder Machine? I have two originals so meh... but this seemed the only way to get modern o-rings.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

I’m with you. I almost bought a reissue soundwave from Hasbro but then I saw this! I’d much rather get him this way and with the figures. Thanks for watching.

[@randallgoeswhere]

Do they change color in the sun?

[@ActionRobotPunch]

I didn’t check but I’m pretty sure they don’t. I have the classified one and he changes in the freezer. They need to bring back the UV tech.

[@mariusbabii]

hi, where did ya get this and for how much?.........marius(punk rules).

[@ActionRobotPunch]

I got mine from Amazon. It's around $100. amzn.to/40Q7ko9 Thanks for watching.

[@TerryTurner]

I hope they make an Optimus Prime Rolling Thunder Transformer. Fingers crossed!🤞😁👍

[@ActionRobotPunch]

That would be epic!

[@shogunfox7141]

Rolling Thunder is a bit extreme, LOL but I can see the APC being OP"s alt mode.

[@foxglove9]

I think the next set is Sgt. Slaughters Triple T. I still prefer the original on both of these figures. I still want to grab both, especially Zartan who is hard to find in good condition. Also a shame they removed UV color change on both figures, but that's the least of my complaints with these new releases. I'm a huge Transformers collector but I'm not into these crossovers at all. I'm glad there are people into them as it seems to be filling a hole for a lot of fans. I still prefer the original colors and look of the Thundermachine. This new one just looks a little too Fisher-Price colors for me. Overall though it's a pretty good set and definitely the best of the 3 crossover sets so far IMO.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

The Triple T…I might pass on that one myself. If they’re doing Sarge then do the Warthog. Thanks for watching👍

[@gdjaybee742]

Warpath using of them Joe tanks (MOBAT) would be nice, and Powerglide(a10), Jetfire (Night Raven), Blitzwing(as MOBAT and then a Russian plane or F4 Fantom) disguise as a Cobra plane in alt mode - gives a real meaning to "Robots in disguise". They already did a Starscream using a Joe F4 planes, wish that thing transformed. Would be nice if they revisited this where in bot mode the red queues show up, and in plane mode, the grey colors show up. A lot of people felt Bumblebee as an Awe Striker just did not make sense. Hasbro elected Bumble bee as an Awe Striker because BB is a commodity in retail. BB is a name or next in line to the face of OP. Beachcomber was more appropriate to the alt mode scale be damned. These designers at Hasbro really lack imagination. Bruticus using all military alt modes is a gold mine. Here's the thing, Hasbro and live action movies are pushing Gi Joe/Transformers crossover, these ideas are awesome in my opinion.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

It’d be interesting to watch the meetings where they make those decisions. Thanks for watching.

[@Shadoslavia]

The Only Reason I'll Ever Buy This Is For Soundwave And Ravage Since I Really Don't Care For The Dreadnoks Nor The Thunder Machine I Would Have Made Soundwave Something More Logical Like The Cobra Stinger With Firefly It Would Just Make More Sense For Soundwaves Character.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Yeah the thunder machine feels like a random choice. Maybe it was to get the dreadnoks into the line? Stinger and Firefly, sign me up! Firefly has always been a favorite.

[@Shadoslavia]

@@ActionRobotPunch I'm Actually Going To Make a Stinger Soundwave With Firefly As Part Of a Transformers Ling I'm Making Basically Fan Made Transformers Once I Acquire a 3d Printer.

@@ActionRobotPunch Firefly Is Also One Of My Favorites.

[@curseoffenrir]

It’s pretty disappointing that Hasbro quality is worse on the new figures than the old ones, those forearms are disgusting.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Yeah I wish it was a little better ,but it’s not that bad. Overall I’m loving the new sets. I’m definitely excited to get more.

[@curseoffenrir]

@@ActionRobotPunchyeah I’ll be picking them all up, but paint flaking off… good thing I prefer true 1/18 modern articulation Joes, can always swap these out.
