Transformers RID 2015 Warrior Strongarm - Vangelus Review 267

[@TYPEV3]

Damn, your output of content lately has been crazy - You're a fucking machine! Also, thumbs up for the Sass Test.

[@Vangelus]

***** I was gonna keep this one in my queue til Monday, but after all the postings this week I figured I may as well splurge and pop out one more before the weekend, haha

[@Sarcasticron]

Vangelus Is it just me, or did you make that sound kind of dirty?

[@TheDreadDormammu1]

YUP CAN'T WAIT FOR THOSE PRIME RID REVIEWS!

[@tzmhero]

I know I'm not the Nick you referenced, but damn did my head pop up quickly as i had looked away JUST before. ha ha ha.

[@alfatazer_8991]

You're right Vangelus! FEMBOTS NEED MOAR SASS!

[@MrDoctorVK]

I'm plan to get my hands on either RID Warrior Class and/or Legion Class Strongarm.

[@TheGenuineDWNUT]

I have Legion Strongarm and she's way better than this ugly piece o' crap. More or less more accurate to the show but both don't get the doors right

[@futureerika]

I like that the "backpack" gives her door wings like her show model has; the problem is that they're not the right kind of door wings. They need a hinge or something to rotate up and be perpendicular with her back. Overall I like the toy, but I hope it gets a new head remold at some point, and maybe give Strongarm another try down the road.

[@straker454]

Pretty much my thoughts as well. Paint is my biggest issue and the pics of the Japanese edition are making me think I'll be ordering one of them. The forearms are my next issue with the figure but over all, I actually dig this toy.

[@guywithpen]

The lack of a blood curtailing "UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHH" saddens me...

[@ryuscar1328]

I'm really diggin' all the vids lately. I know that quantity is not as important as quality, but it should be addressed that your viewers are getting both. You are Vangelous! Ha, I turned your name into an adjective.

[@RingoLoadagain]

This toy looks like it sucks but I'm really proud of Hasbro for deviating from the typical fembot silhouette with this character. I'll have to see the show (which I'm not that interested in) to really know if they did her character justice too, but so far I'm pleased that they did this. Now we need an all-female combiner team! :D

[@karda009]

WE GOT ONE!

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

Unfortunately, a lot of those "extra touches" that would make so many of these figures a little nicer were left out to reduce the amount of transformation steps. It's really starting to piss me off.

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

***** Yeah, you're right. I'm not starving in an alleyway, so I shouldn't ever complain about anything.

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

***** Come on, man. Being subscribed to this guy and noticing a pattern in a few of these recent videos is hardly an obsession. When I said "piss me off"... well, that may've been a little harsh, but what would've been a better thing to say?

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

***** I never said I haven't watched any of Vangelus' older videos. I've been subscribed to him for, like, two years now. And if this is about the one-step AoE figures or whatever, that's not what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about a new pattern I'm noticing with these more recent figures in this new line. They're really good figures, overall, but they all have cut corners here and there, and... yeah, that bugs me. Are you saying it shouldn't? That it's weird if it does?

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

***** What do you want me to say? It's all reactive. I see a video, I have a thought, I write that thought down. Should I keep it to myself to appear less of a manchild?

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

***** Well... sorry, but that's just not how I do things. If I have something to say, I'm going to express myself even if it's abut something that seems totally stupid.

[@HolyknightVader999]

She's basically a robot Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones when it came to her robot design, at least, that's how I saw it. A battle-ready female who's a to bit bulky.

[@MICROmor]

hasbro: te quest for more paint.

[@mathiasmorqubus]

It's the Melissa McCarthy of transformers.

[@superkeaton9912]

Those backwings are really offensive. If Windows were painted on the inside's of them and they could be rotated up and out, she'd be infinitely improved.

[@TaurusOxford]

Strongarm...you are no PRID Arcee.

[@jarkspore]

When are we getting the Flopmasters anyway? Oh wait, that’s Cyberverse Warrior Starscream. And maybe Skullsmasher.

[@OtakuTaeguSan]

hey vangelus, this is sortof off topic but have you seen the new Bionicle Relaunch??!! I had them back in 2002 as a kid and now 13 years later, they have some CRAZY toy engineering to them. posability too!! Think you might like them

[@wewyllenium]

Still bitter towards knives :D

[@masaznable3071]

Vangelus Two questions. First. Will you be at botcon 2015? Second. I am only going one day. How much should I bring? I am thinking aboot buying some small figures and one big purchase...Thanks.

[@Namekjohn]

this line just isn't doing it for me, strongarm comes close really close, If i do get her I am gona repaint that blue plasma or just lob it off. and I have to do something about those forearms i hate the enclosed hands. other wise not bad but like i said just not doing it enough for me.

[@Commanderfox945]

Where's the better deluxe class version? Or is this as good as it's ever going to get anymore...

[@muisverriet]

This IS deluxe class.

[@Darkz3ed]

Is that first edition Bulkhead in 7:20?

[@Sarcasticron]

Hasbro has finally done what I've been begging them to do for years--stop making good Transformers so that my bank account can recover.

[@MrTheMighty]

Why does she remind me of Cybertron Red Alert?

[@Stealthwilde]

I love Strongarm's design. A fembot that isn't a thin stick of curves, tits and ass, instead having a powerful, boxy silhouette. The only downsides I see are the hands (Really need some sort of third party arm parts with actual hands please) and the slightly weird looking face sculpt.

[@KingOfHalla]

Stealthwilde Nickel, Victorion, the six bots that MAKE Victorion, Javelin, Velocity, Proxima, and Roadmaster are also all rather well shaped. And though Arcee, Chromia, and Windblade are all rather small, they definitely have some great personalities.

[@ciroargus]

Did you by any chance buy that from a brazilian seller? I mean, it's got our institute of quality seal (the INMETRO thing) on the back of the package.

[@cannonfodder4000]

Something about the head sculpt creeps me out...

[@houjuunue7053]

What creeps me out is the fact that my face isn't between your lap.

[@cannonfodder4000]

Houjuu Nue Oh, you're welcome to have your head there any time you wish~

[@soapy_soda]

+Houjuu Nue I ship you 2 so MUCH !!!!!!

[@therottenapplepk8881]

Is it just me or can anyone else see an ironhide coming out of this mode.

[@grahf4215]

Not Ironhide but I still see a red repaint coming out of this mold, Smallfoot. Fracture needs some company.

[@therottenapplepk8881]

I dont know if you took the prime Kup head paint it red and slap it on this bod with a red and black repaint.

[@Gaia_Gaistar]

Transformers Animated came out, I gave the toys a shot despite the new designs looking odd. It turned out to be one of my fave lines at the time. Prime came out, tried it out, loved it. But this... they look so simplistic and ugly. I'm really disappointed to be honest. They look like Fisherprice toys.

[@TheEyeWatching]

That's because they are, basically, Fisher-Price toys. I think they're aimed for kids who started out watching Rescue Bots.

[@MrTheMighty]

TheEyeWatching I'm glad Generations is still here for us growned-ups.

[@Gaia_Gaistar]

TheEyeWatching It's a shame. Strongarm is a pretty cool character.

[@shockout2020]

I don't like these new RID figures

[@scrapmetal37]

I love how that's the WHOLE comment.

[@karda009]

I do. The paint could use some work, but I feel like Warrior class Bumblebee is one of the best new Bee molds.

[@AcanLord]

the only thing that bothers me about this design is that for a female design, its kind of androgynous. and thats more a matter of taste then a real fault.

[@T16skyhopp]

OH SO SASS

[@Astronopolis]

The face looks so froggy

[@Cool_guy_Eli]

Lol a girl named strongarm
