TRDQ: Energon Rapid Run review

[@wonderwaffle93]

I have the original Sideways version of this guy, my absolute favorite in that scale cause of how much play it provides. Also love how he’s basically a Headmaster on top of that

[@WhitzWolf92]

A headmaster with a backup head built in if you lose the little guys!

[@mechanwhal6590]

@@WhitzWolf92 Tbh, they should all do that.

[@michaellombardi1620]

I love that they can both ride the motorcycle together! Now that’s an adorable friendship right there

[@Cdr2002]

“Friendship” uh huh sure 🏳️‍🌈

[@balucious]

Gaze upon it.

[@moonwhooper]

​@@Cdr2002alright bro

[@internetjesus]

I have both Sideways and this guy and they’re both really fun. With the new Armada Legacy announcements, I think everyone’s gonna go back to these old molds and find out they were fun.

[@tomjames9681]

Oh my god. The minicons are more articulated than the base figure. Energon, you have peaked.

[@cowboybarbaryn1302]

Congrats to repugnus on the date, proud of him

[@elijahingram6477]

Never heard of this figure before. Looks like what Waspinator's Cybertronian alt mode would have been before the events of Beast Wars.

[@ArtificerOfSolus]

"It's both a lot of fun and a bit of a mess." Gav out here casually reviewing ALL of the Armada toyline in a single sentance.

[@SkageXL5]

I always got Go-Bots vibes from the Sideways version of this fella, something specifically about the proportions of the head and the horns I think, this version makes that feeling stronger! This is not a bad thing.

[@awesomeguy9513]

Would’ve been so cool to get an update in Titans return but that ship sailed a while ago so hopefully legacy gives us something new for sideswipe

[@ClintonMatos]

"A lot of fun but a bit of a mess" finally a Transformer that represents me.

[@Badwolfwho1]

Oh wow I never thought to have both of them riding at the same time that's so cute, only got the Sideways version of this mould but I do really respect it, like you say great motorcycle mode and Minicon integration in it and that faction swapping is real nice

[@mattr75]

I had Armada Sideways as a kid, but man, I would love to see an update of that toy in Generations. A Rapid Run repaint would be welcome too

[@BoisegangGaming]

Considering they could probably use a similar system to titanmasters for the heads, I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually got a new version of armada sideways.

[@twistederror]

@@BoisegangGaming i wouldn't be surprised if they made a modern version of it that actually works like the original toy/animation model

[@daverage4729]

Goddamn, what a substantial fun toy! Fun being the first thing that popped into my head. We need that again with modern headmasters. Two headmasters that are also a combiner? Got to love that!

[@dimsamuser4330]

For a moment at the end of the video I thought you had finally got Universe Repugnus (I was thinking it was the 2 Repugni talking to each other)!

[@GR-ic7mt]

Legitimately one of the favorite figures I own I grew up on armada so probably some nostalgia blinders but I really think this is a mold everyone should have just for the sheer amount of neat features great vid hope this gets armada sideways the attention he deserves

[@WarehouseWilgus]

its fun when the little guys turn out to be a lot more fun then you thought. love it!

[@popo237]

I should get the Sideways mold out from storage. One of my favorites

[@jedijam91]

That mold is based on Armada Sideways and if memory serves, his exhaust pipes were blasters in the show.

[@threeerasers4873]

I think that color scheme would make a good shatter glass waspinator

[@robonintendo]

Saw a repugnus toy at Walmart on the weekend, and immediately thought of this channel.

[@nagumyrehal3922]

When life is getting me down your vids are a good remedy

[@futuristica1710]

Repugnus making his smooth move, great for you, mate!

[@NameName2.0]

wow.. that's actually genius... Having minicon heads mix together to form into a larger minicon, and have them be like head masters, and have them useful for weapon usage.. D A N G, what a load a fun

[@dedalionarts6077]

As an whole, he is bouth a cool repaint, AND an fun decepticon take on "Punch/Counterpunch" idea. Also... 2:46 Ohhhh Repugnus got him self a date 😊.

[@PS-it1dm]

The Sideways toy was my first and only real Transformer. The minicons' joints got very flimsy over the years and mom probably sold it eventually. Still got some good memories with this toy even if I never became a Transformers collector. I just like the reviews and some lore videos!

[@francobonazzola5012]

I have this guy, got him at Marketplace with his two Minicons and Sideways missiles. I really like him despites his lack of knees. I was very lucky to get one in my country (Argentina).

[@jinxtheunluckypony]

Armada had some absolute bangers. The sideways mold is one of my all time favorites.

[@JomasterTheSecond]

I like how the combined mode for the Mini-Cons is just named after a G.I. Joe character.

[@Theover4000]

Never seen any retools of Sideways before- I’ve been meaning to pick up some UT figures, guess I have to hope I can pick one up! Looks like a great deco.

[@SuperMookles]

Gavin, you spoil us.

[@Cdr2002]

Love that he’s essentially Beast Wars Buzzsaw but for Sideways

[@Kjellbot]

Armada could be really good at taking the line-wide gimmick of mini-cons and turning it into something very unique and custom-made for the individual transformer. the Sideways toy is the most extravagant, probably, and Demolishor and Cyclonus were both good fun too. it's great when a TF line really has a spirit. i also always appreciate a weirdo redeco into a completetely new no-name guy in hindsight, yeh, i shoulda bought way more Armada stuff

[@TyphonMar]

I had the Sideways version of this mold, kinda wish I'd kept it

[@lorcannagle]

I have Armada Sideways, but lost both minicons at some point, he's not the same at all without them.

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Fun video! Thank you! I remember having this guy, but I think I sold him off a while back when money got sparse. Bloody good set of figures, though!

[@roccotherayquaza2468]

I'd love to see a new version of Armada Sideways in Legacy. Now that we got confirmation on more Armada last week. Here's hoping!

[@Maswartz226]

Getting post Beast Machines Waspinator/Thrust vibes.

[@vortexthecomplex5369]

He gives me Beast Wars Buzzsaw vibes tbh

[@lyokomajor]

Well, that's the idea. His colors are meant to homage Buzzsaw.

[@exillionXLR]

A lot of fun and a bit of a mess?! To Tinder we gooooooooo! Lovely review chief :)

[@Kreevox]

Btw the ankles slide into the shins and collapse into the feet, makes him more cohesive and stable

[@dannymartin4834]

He’s a recolour of armada sideways btw, not a negative just something to note.

[@CaptainRufus]

In Armada the mold was Sideways I want to say? Its in a nice purple. Was cool to have a Headmaster of a sort back then.

[@raymondtillotson6985]

I like to think of this guy as Beast Wars' Buzzsaws' Cybertron mode. Then he went to prehistoric earth and his minicons got fused to him by energon overexposure. Both of them, which is why he's a Predacon in Beast Wars and a Maximal in Beast Machines. Then he becomes a helicopter in Cybertron because he really likes flying now and yes, this is what I spend my free time coming up with.

[@LanthusV]

Fun guy that the longer I look at it the more I'm convinced it would make a good Repugnus.

[@GodsDrunkestDriver1791]

Wheyyy fuckin first, get it up yers

[@matteomascaropennacchi2220]

I love this new Decepticon and his design 🥰🥰🥰💗💚💚💝💝😍😍💜💜, I love his 2 Headmaster personality’s💙🤍💛💕💕🤩🤎🥰💚💚💚I love his wasp like design

[@banquetoftheleviathan1404]

I love this repaint, i have armada so it will be fun to mix and match them

[@minecraftrandomized5384]

Rapid Run looks like a very cool figure, it's just the Minicon's legs are HUGE compared to their body. Keep making excellent videos! (This has no cohesion) Also, I know this is unrelated but Monkey Shelf update when?

[@storm5936]

I had this sans minicons & missiles once but the sad thing is that if I'm correct, rapid run is actually rather rare to find at only 10k pieces

[@gim95697]

10k pieces??? Is that the same with the other KB Toys exclusives?

[@storm5936]

Dunno if it was an exclusive but this treadbolt & ultra magnus were all last minute energon additions, read rapid run's TF Wiki page for more info bout this.

[@a_world_made_of_cardboard]

I can just see Repugnus taking his date out for a ride on Rapid Run. But it would give a whole new definition to the term "third wheel."

[@kamenrideraquarius]

Rapid run one of the more valuable toys I had as a kid

[@joelflinchum7053]

I've been really wanting a mold of this guy. Found sideways without the minicons so I passed really want the double headmasters gimick.

[@solianara2306]

I guess you could say, with the three of them, they transform into a polycyclue.

[@alexlemonds2838]

The superior color scheme.

[@serPomiz]

one of the best toy from armada, it's no wonder people are asking for a new verson in legacy of this mold if not this guy

[@cartkart1]

WHAT IS THAT BUG GUY AT THE END I NEED IT

[@TRDQ]

Buzzclaw!

[@geo-fry6372]

Beast wars buzzclaw is so much fun. Highly recommended

[@soundwavegamer2321]

God I remember this figure I never had Rapid Run, but I did have Armada Sideways and my god that figure was fun mind you I was 4 at the time and I was kind of a dumb 4 year old, but I had fond memories of that guy along side the deluxe class Armada Optimus Prime (which is currently my White Whale.)

[@twilight_phantom2969]

the ankles push more into the legs to look more natural.

[@TRDQ]

That'll save it

[@MinimunWage]

Mr. Frog and Mr. Toad if they were headmasters, basically

[@Skullgrin.]

BUZZCLAW!? That was my first ever Transformer as a kid.

[@ChakatStripedfur]

I have the Sideways version of this guy, somewhere. Threw his companions in the bin, though, they just weren't doing anything for me. The main guy himself, however, is a fun guy to fool around with.

[@Spootprime]

Fun Fact: Titan Masters fit into the Sideways mold!

[@gim95697]

KB exclusive back in the day

[@Blakewyattdunfee]

I could potentially see this as beast wars buzzsaw's cybertronian form before the beast wars along side is helicopter form he had in cybertron Robots in disguise 2006.

[@HereAlex]

I hope Repugnus isn’t in a grasshopper situation where he’s invited *for* dinner if you catch my drift No not the Autobot, I would’ve capitalized it otherwise you silly goose

[@batangbatugan]

They lost the opportunity to name him "Doubleheader."

[@cartkart1]

ohhh this is a repaint of sideways how did i not realize

[@danielbrant6740]

Repugnus has a date!?😱

[@_m3kh170]

Its a cute little thing

[@russellharrell2747]

Motorcycle transformers will always be cool even if they are bricks. The coolness goes to infinity when there’s someone to ride on the bike. So this guy…double infinity coolness.

[@oliverrichardson4429]

I’m very proud of Hasbro for not using the Name “Buzzsaw” for this guy. But at the same time, how could they not have called this guy buzzsaw? He’s colored like a Bee! They Go Buzz!

[@AllCheatRiders]

Fairly rare Doesn't matter because I already own one.

[@darknessmechainvader4960]

I had no idea that armada sideways and cybertron sideways were the same character at first as a kid, I guess that’s where sideways was post armada, getting plastic surgery from unicron

[@dubuyajay9964]

Could use this with GI Joe's Tiger Force. 🐅

[@BenDaresAll]

He's dating Buzzclaw! Aaaaw

[@Toxic3610]

Oh a repaint of sideways from Armada

[@powjump]

REAGHH yea

[@ninebreaker6438]

I have the other mold of this guy!

[@DanielThomasHutton]

Had this thing without ANY accessories and it highlights how bizarre the base figure is, the proportions are just all over the place. His hands are appalling.

[@RoddKlever]

The feet are mistransformed

[@TRDQ]

Oh no

[@TRDQ]

Did you enjoy the video? AT LEAST?

[@RoddKlever]

@@TRDQ oh yeah it was great

[@CAPMAX_Gaming]

Of the three, I only have one of the Headmasters. The only survivor of a long-forgotten battle. 🥲
