TRDQ: Masterpiece Skids & Reboost review

[@jlr1357]

It's nice that you have painted Repugnus' claws, they look great

[@CardboardBots]

When I see repugnys toys on sale I actually stop and consider it thanks to your channel. Then the feeling goes away and I regain my senses.

[@muisverriet]

This guy really makes me think of MP Soundwave. Very high quality but relatively simple, fun to play with and still very much like a toy. Feel like most modern Masterpieces have totally lost that fun factor. Also i'm really hoping they do Crosscut

[@angusmcnay5449]

I've got some good news for ya. They did crosswise. Also nice area 11 pic. Nvm I'm thinking of crosscut

[@muisverriet]

@@angusmcnay5449 I was as well, TF names are confusing sometimes. Also, thanks!

[@TRDQ]

[@daverage4729]

We need more masterpieces like this. Less fiddly yet high quality. Repugnas looks like a boss on his scooter btw.

[@originaluddite]

Best thing about the original Skids toy was its car mode _including_ car articulation - all the doors and hatches worked! Nice to see that maintained in the MP version. Then again, I would be a bit cross if they skimped on that, indeed I think I just invented a new rule: 'An MP toy should never lack something decent that the original version had.'

[@mechanwhal6590]

Carticulation?

[@MellowGaming]

I got Reboost, and love the chap. Do struggle getting them arms twisted around just the right way for car mode but I'm sure I'll get over it. I've packed that scooter and little guy away though cos I am definitely breaking them if I don't. Not much of a Masterpiece collector but this guy is just the right side of expensive for me to be into. May have to get that Skids too.

[@tomjames9681]

I must be missing something. Why does Reboost look like Optimus so much? Also, we love to see some gaslighting of newly painted Repugnus.

[@Droyer22]

Because the toy Reboost was based on is, like Skids was, originally a Diaclone toy. Diaclone had several robots with that kind of faceplate head design but only a couple were licensed by Hasbro and sold as Transformers.

[@steadyalbatross]

Diaclone decos really didn't give a shit about looking like Prime, mostly since battle convoy wasn't as big a deal as Prime would become later

[@Arro3]

"It's a joy to switch back and forth.." That's so great to hear, honestly

[@resmues]

skids is just a top lad, love him and his little boxmobile altmode

[@Badwolfwho1]

Oh I love detailing under the hood and a working boot that's such a lovely touch

[@kek23k]

I enjoyed the wing mirror placement in the different shots.

[@fen4554]

I'm going to pick up the mainline skids because I need more chunky box-boys in my life. Can't make myself pay masterpiece prices.

[@SuperMookles]

Thanks so much for posting this on a Monday. An upbeat start to our weeks!

[@Thunder_135]

The repugnus bit was cute and I’ve started KZbin Gavin so it’s nice to be officially a part of this site

[@TRDQ]

Amazing! Good luck!

[@Thunder_135]

@@TRDQ thanks that means a lot coming from you

[@lorcannagle]

Repugnus looks extradorable on that little scooter

[@Cdr2002]

I can’t look at Reboost without seeing the inevitable Crosscut that wasn’t released before him for some reason

[@WizAquila]

I told myself MP-10 would be my last transformer, but I just got Legacy skids on a whim and now I need MP skids and G1 Skids. He’s so friggin cool.

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

MP-53 is Masterpiece G1 Skids version 1.0, MP-53+ is Masterpiece G1 Crosscut version 1.0 and MP-54 is Masterpiece Diaclone Reboost version 1.0. The MP-53 G1 Skids version 1.0 mold is G1 toy-accurate, but has the G1 cartoon Skids paint scheme. MP-54+ in the future will be G1 toy paint scheme-accurate Skids version 1.0.

[@misterbadguy7325]

I think one of the key things that got us an MP Skids is that the Honda City Turbo, Skids's altmode, is one of _the_ classic cars in Japan. It's why his altmode doesn't even try to be cartoon-accurate in favor of just being a model Turbo.

[@michaellombardi1620]

Skids is getting so much love these last few years

[@jinxtheunluckypony]

I wonder why Roboost has the ghost of Spike Witwicky.

Hi Gavin mate a while back my wife won Repugnus stickers from the Ask Repugnus and she wondered what happened with it cheers mate ace vid as always.

[@TRDQ]

Ach can she pls email [e-mail] and I'll get him to send them again! :D

[@JacobHillSBD]

I ended up preordering the Senator Crosscut version. I just really like silver bots.

[@danielgaylor]

Oh my god I need that reboost. One day for sure! Probably the best masterpeice figures in a longggggg time.

[@Droyer22]

It's a bit hard to tell with the clear plastic, but I think the little figure that comes with reboost has the same mold as the Dianauts from the currently ongoing Diaclone revival. If so that would mean it's included as a throwback to Skids' and Reboost's early Diaclone days when they both came with Dianaut pilots.

[@TransmitHim]

I think it's just a transparent version of the little Spike figure that's been in a few recent toys.

[@Psientologist]

Saw the title and thought you were reviewing your underpants ohohoho... we do laugh

[@somerelativleyuninterestin4763]

Question, what figures or characters do you want to see come out of legacy?

[@angusmcnay5449]

Gav time

[@NightmareZerogbs]

I really want Skids, Reboost feels a bit too Optimus Primey for my taste, but it kinda sucks that for the same price, Reboost gets extra accessories

[@talljoke]

[@whydopeoplelovefoxy2051]

My reason that I want this mold: I love transformers and Honda’s

[@TFormers2002]

I still need to find a store that has him in stock and not just for preorder

[@dunkanbulk14]

I've been avoiding recent Masterpieces due to their high price and quality control issues, but this might just be an exception

[@SuperSuperSpork]

Did Skids right hand mirror disappear half way through the video?

[@triplea5470]

On the topic of actual fun masterpieces, Hound is also pretty good, though he was a bit too pricey

[@TransDrummer1312]

It’s a shame he has a tendency to disintegrate inbox

[@EVAUnit4A]

Gav time!

[@MinimunWage]

both of these guys remind me of beavis and butthead

[@chickensoup1312]

gav time!!!!!!

[@hexedcrab]

oh now that's a bloke

[@TransmitHim]

Skids looks really good, but I just can't get past the distinctly different shade of blue on his arms and such. It just looks mismatched.

[@donovancooper229]

That’s nice but why is Loudpedal playing grabass with Grapple?

[@TRDQ]

Just a friendly guy

[@harlanPerry]

Awesome review.

[@beanzilla9513]

Do you think you might get a masterpiece senator crosscut?

[@TRDQ]

I did consider it but probably not. Two is enough!

[@FizzyMcPhysics]

How do you manage to say and show more in 3 minutes that most reviewers do in 15!? Editing I guess.

[@TRDQ]

I made one small edit in there yeah.

[@FizzyMcPhysics]

@@TRDQ It really helped!😂

[@TRDQ]

@@FizzyMcPhysics honestly though the only reason is that I'm just not obligated to make videos a certain length to fulfil the needs of the algorithm and it's very freeing. If I had to make ten minutes long videos I wouldn't do it haha.

[@FizzyMcPhysics]

@@TRDQ Oh that's really interesting! But it just goes to show how stupid the algorithm is though, because your videos are so snappy, they're very bingable, and if I had to watch an ad at the start of every one... Oh no, I've said too much.

[@TRDQ]

@@FizzyMcPhysics Haha I am sorry but I have to afford transformers

[@davenipples]

I am not a fan of masterpiece Transformers, but these guys do look fun. Nice review. 🙂

[@somerelativleyuninterestin4763]

I'd love to see some Animated stuff in there
