Transformers Studio Series 52 Chromia Arcee Elita-1 Chefatron Review

[@JJPrimeReviews2020]

This set is wonderful and it deserves a 9/10. Because the transformations are very easy once you know what you are doing.

[@snowydoesstuff2825]

The only deluxe in the wave I plan to get.

[@chefatron]

cool, happy safe hunting

[@megatronacepticon]

Once I figured out how to transform them they grew on me, however I do think that they should have been 3 Scout-size figures at the Voyager pricepoint. To anyone who gets these figures, the instructions are indeed pretty shite, so start with Arcee if you want to have any hope of figuring out how to transform them. She's pretty straightfoward, and once you've transformed her you've got a feel for the engineering of all of them which will make the other two less impossible than they are if you attempt to start with them. Now that I know how they work I quite like this set, but yeah, there are definitely some problems like the size (doesn't really worry me because I love the Legion Class, but it is a legitimate thing) and the fact that those 6 parts don't fit anywhere in vehicle mode, but if you like Legions figures and can handle a learning curve they're worth picking up.

[@chefatron]

very good points, bro. but i still hate them. the only reason i'm keeping the is to complete the whole SS line up.

[@ZetZatar]

That ending sums it up perfectly! 🤣

[@chefatron]

hahahaha was trying to hold back for as long as i can... LoL :-)

[@jjrivas3]

Omg bruh, I JUST got these and boy! I was laughing in frustration trying to do the transformation while watching this video. I like the cycle mode so I’m just keeping these 3 ladies in that mode. Luckily I got them for cheap. Nice review bro! I can hear the frustration in your voice lol. I love the scale.

[@daganisoraan]

I'm so sad that we never were given an official way to make the giant abomination that is their combiner.

[@FPrimusUnicron]

But they do combine as there are specialized tabs that fit perfectly and not used for anything else

[@KingofPotatoPeople]

It’s totally possible and the official combination is horrible. Unofficial ones are better. You can create a stable combined form with the deluxe which looks similar to the official concept art. I did have a photo on a forum somewhere but it’s a long time since anyone gave two farts about these characters.....

[@loganyork7177]

Bright idea: Studio series mudflap and skids Anybody...no ... ok

[@chefatron]

hahahaha i'd buy the twins :-)

[@ChrisHillmon]

Please, I would rather buy the twins then this lame sucktacular trio.

[@pravo117]

I love honest reviews! thanks!!

[@chefatron]

thanks bro :-)

[@Ven0m1999.]

Hopefully Hasbro decides to do a studio series version of sideways

[@nemueru]

Sideways is such an underated character

[@ulty1472]

What were expecting from the detail? There's only so much one can do with bayverse designs

[@chefatron]

perhaps

[@shayaanansari9314]

I remember getting chromia then realizing that all three combine to make a giant half bike half robot

[@chefatron]

that's cool, man

[@michaelgarcia7774]

I think they're pretty Neat, and I'm still Gonna get them, so Exactly how tall are they? Like cm or Inches wise?

[@chefatron]

cool. i'm not sure maybe 2 or 2 and a half inches

[@anthonyhayes5462]

I finally found the right size bikes for the human alliance figures. Just a little silver paint or silver remolds but it's worth it for me I'm just glad they got the figures right. I'll be seeing u ladies soon.

[@chefatron]

awesome! happy hunting man :-)

[@mitsuyasolo8126]

Smallest Transformer in the studio series beside laserbeak

[@UnfaithfulServant97]

Lol no that would be Wheelie and Brains.

[@Atlas-hu9wk]

For such small figures I wish Has/Tak would give us premium paint at least. They scale fine and they look alright just the paint feels bland.

[@chefatron]

i know right?!

[@nemueru]

Or paint it by your own, if they don't release one

[@Atlas-hu9wk]

@@nemueru That's one option.

[@blitzwave7855]

Im really hoping that there will be a two pack of skids and mudfapapap

[@chefatron]

we'll see...

[@gabrielmendoza4813]

I got them on discount and I feel happy with them. They really make my collection feel complete

[@chefatron]

cool bro

[@OmegaGodzilla]

Now go make me a sandwich.

[@sunnivab302]

I think if they had more paint and looked like the artwork, they would look alot better

[@chefatron]

yes, perhaps

[@luisgomez7159]

I did something wrong with arcee's transformation that the part connecting with the wheels is now really loose

[@chefatron]

oh sorry to hear that man

[@Storm-fl3mp]

I like toy reviewer like you. You still give honest review and what your opinion. I don't really understand why people angry because you have a different opinion. I also agree with combiner wars sky linx it didn't look really good. That mold suit better with dezarus. I'll pass this set but my brother like it, so it's ok.

[@chefatron]

oh hey, thanks so much bro, i really appreciate this :-) yeah, i'm just trying to keep it real and 100%

[@bearish5731]

I cant wait to get these and compare them next to my autobots like Ironhide next to Chromia

[@chefatron]

cool bro

[@JoseMartinez-df2db]

I can't wait to buy these girls!! They look great!

[@omarquijada9979]

Love your honest review. The only female bot I've ever bought was the Beast Machines Blackarachnia for completion's sake. I'll probably end up getting Lifeline also just for Ratchet. This trio is nowhere on my radar unless I get it as a gift from family.

[@chefatron]

hey thanks man, i really appreciate it. :-)

[@burritosmash9975]

So Chefatron I need some help to decide if I should get The original mp 10, or if I should get the year of the horse? (And I have seen your video of the year of the horse.)

[@chefatron]

the original MP 10 is still the way to go.

[@fabiorosario3992]

I got them yesterday and tbh they are very good. And the transformation is pretty fun.

[@chefatron]

awesome

[@chefatron]

where'd you get them, though ?

[@shenhowe]

Great Review!!! appreciate the honesty!!!

[@chefatron]

thanks bro :-) yeah. i'm always trying to be honest. but these haters... i mean i pan a figure and they say i didn't do a good job reviewing it. i praise a figure and they say i'm a hasbro suck-up. so what's a guy to do? other than block those trolls...

I haven’t been more disappointed with Studio Series figures since the WWII Bumblebee. Never had it, but most likely never will, same for these three girls.

[@chefatron]

i feel the same bro

[@MightMouse74]

If their a waste of money then why buy them?...silly! LOL!

[@MightMouse74]

I know! just messin! Lol!

how will you guys know or how will i know for that matter that it is a waste of money if i don't purchase it ??!!!! silly! LoL :-p

@Master Farr hahahah, i couldn't find a big enough hammer to smash these to smithereens LoL :-)

[@arvinmarkmidel1419]

I am planning to buy these three but too expensive and yet the toys look quite fair.

do you need it mint in box? perhaps just wait for a fellow collector to let of his copy for a cheaper price

Do you think its good to buy

[@chefatron]

watch the end of this video

[@natesvlogs192]

Im still gona buy it

[@The_Mojave_Mailman]

I can see why you don't like them, I plan on getting them just to have the Fembots on the shelves with the Autobots. Probably will try to transform them once or twice like I did with the human alliance Soundwave and then put them on the shelf for display. Glad to know what to expect from them lmao.

[@chefatron]

Mojave Mailman yeah sure just to complete the team. i think their best modes are in motorcycle mode

[@StrikerFX47]

Despite the qualms I have with these figures I will still get them.

[@chefatron]

cool bro. happy hunting.

[@joshuaromerogonzalez945]

Idk, you never specify or bother to elaborate any of your complaints, all you said is "this suck, doesn't go anywhere, detail suck". I just see them as "good enough figurines". I don't know if spreading them out would've been a better idea, since there don't seem to be any other ROTF deluxe happening next year

[@tgiacin435]

Joshua Romero González that’s one of my biggest pet peeves, just complaining about something without explaining why. This honestly felt like a quick overview.

[@chefatron]

why don't you get this set, and see if i'm speaking the truth about it. then let's talk. i think i'm trying to save everyone's wallets from potential heartache with this review. if you like this set, then go ahead and get it. i certainly did not like it. hence my exasperation while doing the review.

[@joshuaromerogonzalez945]

@@chefatron oh, of course I plan on getting this set. It's just that you didn't explain your complaints, enoigh for me to care; I get you didn't like this, but why? This is the first time the 3 sister bikes get any justice in a long time, they at last gave Elita 1 her own mold, unlike being a straight up repaint

[@Galvawave]

Great content I love your videos

[@chefatron]

thanks bro :-) much appreciated !

[@jordanharrington1890]

I'm starting to think you never really liked these characters from the movie in the first place... the only problem I got from this was the drastic lack of paint lol

[@chefatron]

oh i liked them in the movie. it's the toys that were a bit , well... horrible

[@FireheartSamurai]

This set would’ve been that bad if Arcee, Elita-1, & Chromia were the similar size to their old ROTF counterparts with decent paint & maybe actually screen accurate weapons.

[@UnfaithfulServant97]

For how small these figures are, HasTak could’ve atleast given these better paint jobs. Overall, they nailed the designs and I’m happy that they just packaged them all-in-one for a Deluxe price point which I think is fair, instead of forcing people to pay for other figures just to collect them all. I disagree with much of your opinions in this one. Just bad takes in this review overall like your Barricade review. But you were honest with your opinions and I respect that.

[@chefatron]

yes, indeed. thanks bro :-) had these figures combined, i may have rated them better

[@v_ishyou]

Should I buy them bro???

if you're trying to complete the entire studio series figures, yes. if not, pass or wait for it to go on clearance

I think this is the first time the studio series looks worse than the original deluxes. I could probably forgive it if they combined but this is a pass from me.

Can I just say, these figures look terrible and awful and I'm so into it. I bought the pack because it's the right kind of "terrible" transformers set I've been craving haha. It'll be a huge difference going from clunkers like these to a shiny pristine boy like Studio Soundwave.

[@jinxtheunluckypony]

When I saw they were getting a 3 pack I assumed it was to do the concept art combiner. I’m shocked and disappointed.

[@tgiacin435]

I’m kinda holding out hope that if anything, you can do like a fan mode combination and use the extra pieces to help it

[@tgiacin435]

Nexus8846 Productions for some reason, rotf Arcee kinda gets screwed over by reviews. Like when the original deluxe came out, people were complaining about how the had a problem with her lining up, or that they had problems with the instructions, yet when I got her, I was able to get her to stand straight no problem. Also I’m glad that we are finally getting a movie Arcee that combines. Honestly I would’ve been disappointed especially since they had a gun and sword too big for them individually, and that engine piece that served no other real purpose. I mean hell, if they’re making a movie Devastator that has both robot and combined modes, especially even the legends size one, I’d hope they could give rotf Arcee her combined mode. Hopefully the official mode looks better than the fan mode I saw

[@tgiacin435]

Nexus8846 Productions yeah, the stock photos didn’t show that, so I was worried they weren’t gonna have it, but I’m hoping the official combined form looks like a full on robot and not just some cluster of bots. Like Chromia forms the right arm and leg, while Elita-1 forms the left arm and leg and Arcee is of course the head and main torso

[@chefatron]

same

[@jonahcorona1178]

So you don’t like how they look? Then we good lol

[@DragoonMS]

Man...they look like the old DotM/TFP "Cyberverse Legion class" crap. And it's not surprising that they count the combined form as a Deluxe, remember that Minicon combiner that was also a 3-in-1? (I think the combiner was called Centuritron) The combined form was what made that count as a Deluxe. Although they didn't make all three in RotF, at least the two that made the cut (Arcee & Chromia) were actual Deluxes...they still sucked, though.

[@jamesattack7420]

Elita one still got a deluxe, but it was a repaint if chromia.

[@tgiacin435]

Which minicon combiner? There’s Perceptor from armada/energon, and there’s also the other team that’s like a helicopter, jet and tank

God... that's just pathetic. Slightly better than '90s mcdonalds toys. Wow. This also really shows the limits of the Studio Series scale. Revenge of the Fallen had the best scale. I don't mind the shrinking but you get here and this is what you lost with the smaller scale.
