Transformers Review: Earthrise Doubledealer

[@alexlemonds2838]

After seeing the Netflix series I've decided that A: I'll be keeping my Siege Soundblaster (Christmas present my mom got me that I didn't want because I was content with my WFC Wave but didn't wish to be impolite so I kept it) & B: I'll equip him with Wingthing. Also I'll give my old Gen Dealer's sword to his Earthrise update.

[@user-ux9vp2zp3h]

so touching for an excellent video

[@fathercosmic8061]

This is definitely one of the better Hasbro figures to come out from this line. He's so good

[@TFCollector]

I just wish the QC issues weren't there. They really stop him from being perfect.

[@fathercosmic8061]

@@TFCollector yeah, that's one thing I notice a lot about most Siege and earthrise Figures. It's like they just barely scratch the surface of perfection

[@kalebcook7215]

“hes got pretty bad visible head syndrome” g1 doubledealer has left the chat

[@TFCollector]

No excuse for it in the modern day, though.

[@quietfang1]

You can plug that engine piece into knock to make him look like an engine skar too if you have them

[@TFCollector]

I didn't even think of that!

[@screwface5870]

Thanks for the info, I didnt even know that little piece came off.

[@publicprofilename4273]

I realize how late I am to this party, but I'm considering the spy patrol, and landed here, and have enjoyed the video. Ok, so is it knock? Well, flip DD's flap around where the tape shows. Pull off the molded one from the abs, and peg him onto the tapes 5mm port. titmaster mode acheived! Also, put the missle batteries in the fists in ICBM carrier mode, it looks pretty good imo, AND fool around with the 3mm pegs on the "satellite?" and ports on the rifle or vice versa, he's not in front of me. The two can combine a couple ways, one making it look like the square job thing is actually a drum mag for the rifle. Kinda cool. Lots and lots of hidden fun on this guy. Oddly, prolly intentionally, the stabilizers, ball joint fits great on a 5mm port, and the top of the foot part of them, IS a 5mm port. I've actually got mine in bird mode, with everything kibble wise pulled off, and the chest plate pulled off the... yup, 5mm mushroom peg, and I have a whole little assault battery station sitting next to a far far cleaner looking bird, with Astrotrain's tinder box, hooked onto it, and Airwave ran off it. You are pretty much the first guy I've ran into that seems to dig the base former gimmick besides me! Did you know that on eBay, you can buy 10 packs of like inch long extensions with the base port on both ends, a flat with some molded detail side, and the flip side is a 5mm honeycomb! I've got 30 on the way, just saw them today lol. Here's a link. Freakin basass! www.ebay.com/itm/384246093761?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D241690%26meid%3D231488d84eba4744ba42faf2fc2b4541%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D363885893120%26itm%3D384246093761%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A847698cd-2ae7-11ed-844e-cab09a1104ba%7Cparentrq%3Aff51f1831820ab85bba66439fffcc036%7Ciid%3A1

[@publicprofilename4273]

They've got the base connector on 3 sides! Didn't even realize that! So, you can make 3d structures out of them! That's really very nifty when I'm having a good time diplayin with my totally adult mature investment grade collectable figures, instead of cleaning the atrociously neglected gutters lol.

[@TFCollector]

Those are pretty cool. I may have to pick up a few.

[@jamescm38]

I hope they incorporate him into the show at some point or in comics. I think the mercenaries, his power masters and Exhaust, would be a really different perspective of the conflict I’d love to see. My moneys on G1 Stalker repaint due to Hasbro retooling obscure G1 characters. Either way it’s a great mold I’d love to see and probably pick up.

[@melvin3r512]

I have the original not into this one cause you have to get Skar and Knox separate. If I'm not mistaken that set is $40. Overkill

[@TFCollector]

It's $20 USD, but yeah, it's not cool that you have to fork over extra money to complete the set.

[@melvin3r512]

on Amazon at this moment August 3, 2020 2am it's $97

[@TFCollector]

Ouch, looks like only the scalpers have any left. 🙁

[@melvin3r512]

a few days ago i checked Amazon its back down to $40 now

[@EddieNova]

Saw you on the ACP podcast about the Netflix WFC show and glad to sub to your channel and to check out your reviews and content !!! 🖖😁

[@TFCollector]

Welcome aboard! 😀

[@HelenaSan425]

Doubledealer's bird mode needs to stop eating too much big macs and fries from Mcdonald's

[@HelenaSan425]

cute and menacing fat bird boi

[@TFCollector]

It's not his fault. He has a thyroid condition that's aggravated by all the Big Macs. 😭

[@TFfangeek]

Epic review TF Collector!!!!!!!!!!! :D Doubledealer is amazing, I got my copy from Amazon for $45. :) I hope you don't mind me pointing this out, but you had Generations voyager Doubledealer's legs backwards when you did the robot size comparison. :) Keep on being amazing, Double Thumbs Up. ;D

[@JSteez5024]

Glad u finally got him! Sorry it had to be through Amazon with their poor delivery services currently..

[@yaboi5832]

I hope this guy gets redecoed as either cybertron defense scattorshot or stalker/mw wave. Also what do you expect he is a triple maybe a quadruplechanger

[@TFCollector]

I'm hoping for the latter, but I wouldn't turn down Red Alert.

[@DarthLocutus0]

Emgo's review actually shows why the fake engine block piece comes off. When you have Knock or Skar attached to Doubledealer's robot mode, you can attach it to the swing-out post to simulate the original Power Master engine look.

[@TFCollector]

That... makes perfect sense! I think Emgo is right. I just tried it out, and it looks awesome! 😀

[@legoawcstopmotioner9435]

I can't wait for this!

[@TFCollector]

As long as you get a copy with decent QC, he's a great figure!

[@UnfaithfulServant97]

I just got mine 3 days ago, and yes the right arm can’t hold on to his giant gun, but his left arm can. I wished he had racheted joints for both his arms. We’re paying $50 Leaders and they’re just oversized Voyagers. C’mon Hasbro.

[@leefrierson6472]

Spitting mad truth

[@DavidNguyen-yh3wx]

Yes, I recently got this figure and it has the same problem with the right arm.

[@Qazsedcftgb2]

The fists on mine dont fold all the way in either, but at least it kind of makes sense because a mounted rocket would conceivably tilt up or down to aim.

[@TFCollector]

Yeah, I think it looks good too.

[@tchallaomoro8281]

You can plug in on the bottoms of his feet, one on each foot, the CW hand/foot guns and make DOUBLEDEALER a lil bit taller.

[@TFCollector]

Now there's an idea! I also saw a photo of a Sky Lynx that someone turned into a combiner through clever use of PotP combiner hands.

[@ruzgarbey1560]

i have the same figure too. But i will open him in my birthday

[@TFCollector]

Awesome! He makes for a great birthday gift.

Yes bleed it dry till it is nothing same with the Starscream molds

[@ThunderWolfking1]

Just get rid of the Eagle mode and change couple pieces and you can have a Transformers Generation Cybertron Red Alert

[@TFCollector]

I'd just leave the eagle mode in. If you like it, it's a bonus mode. If you don't, it's easily ignored.

[@randymerrick3347]

The fists will snap into place when folded up

[@TFCollector]

I'm afraid of pushing too hard. They didn't feel like they wanted to go in on my copy.

[@masterfarr8265]

Doubleclouder for me

[@TFCollector]

Luckily they look identical in the cartoon.

[@masterfarr8265]

TF Collector except the blue eyes

[@TFCollector]

True true.

[@JoseFlores-xc7wu]

In my copy the leg came off I thought I had broken it I just got him today I almost started to cry I have never broken a transformer before that is one hard transformation

[@TFCollector]

Yeah, the leg transformation is pretty counterintuitive. The legs pop off of mine too if I'm not careful.

[@JoseFlores-xc7wu]

I after I was done transforming him I look down and a tiny piece of plastic chip off next time I transform him am gonna have to be extra careful

[@TFCollector]

That's no good. 🙁

[@Skrall-Slayer]

Honestly he’s pretty cool, but since I don’t have a very big budget and I’m saving up for wfc kingdom I’ll probably skip him. Especially since 70 dollars cad is pretty pricey, even more so with the fact that I got leader class potp optimal optimus for 60 dollars cad. Might put him on my Christmas wish list.

[@richardhe8778]

I didn’t remember double dealer been that thick?

[@TFCollector]

It's the new body positive version.

[@edoggz20111]

Have you tried putting Scare underneath in bird mode? Does it fallout?

[@TFCollector]

Skarr doesn't stay in very well, unfortunately. At least, not my copy.

[@stratusplayerproduction7045]

Does knock and scar come with double dealer

[@TFCollector]

No, they were part of a four pack with Frenzy and Wingthing. I think it's still available on Big Bad Toy Store.

[@terryplumlee1792]

How do you reattach the legs?

[@TFCollector]

It's tough. You have to find the right angle to put the mushroom peg back into place without causing the knee hinge to swing.

[@richardhe8778]

Really needs to be skinnier!

[@poleythepolarbearandfriend7684]

Is he autobot or decepticon

[@TFCollector]

He's more of a mercenary that changes factions depending on what benefits him the most. He is generally depicted as a bad guy though.

[@ender-xl4wn]

We’re can I buy his spy Patrol number 3

[@TFCollector]

Unfortunately, they're sold out at most online retailers. The only kistings I see are overpriced ones from scalpers.
