Transformazing Toys Mebsuta - Vangelus Review 215

[@coffeeskull9014]

Theres somethjng about vangelus' reviews that make things seem so much more satisfying to watch. Always love the transformations, the sound of the figures moving on the hangar baclground is super satusfying to me aswell

[@Benscollectables]

Great review sir , love this Magnus , would love a nemesis repaint

[@NemesisPrime1989]

You are not the only one. Problem is, I don't think they did a Nemesis version of the original toy. :(

[@Benscollectables]

poo

[@NemesisPrime1989]

if they do, I'd jump on it just for being Nemesis Prime

[@RowdyRodimus]

Ben, you know I loved your review on this. Hell, I think what I wrote could be considered an essay in most American colleges now lol However, I do have to disagree with you on this point- I am so tired of black repaints of Prime and whoever else and just call it Nemesis or Shadow Whatever lol I admit, I'm not quite as tired of that as I am every single figure now coming with more melee type weapons and less big ass gun weapons. If they would go an entire year without releasing a Prime (and Prime has to be released at least twice in that year) that came with a sword, axe, mace (any melee weapon basically) and only guns, rockets, missiles, etc. I will go to a third world country and hand feed every person I see for six months on my own dime lol (Not lol'ing starvation in 3rd world countries but you probably got that already)

[@Benscollectables]

Lol you are entitled to your opinion :P maybe I'll paint mine then to save the saturation of the market :P

[@Fredbob392]

I can't wait till the day he breaks an expensive toy by throwing it at a wall.

[@KrosanBeast315]

14:33 The Godbomber-style upgrade will never happen. Tranformazing Toys is out of business, so the possible upgrade in the instruction manual will never be produced.

[@_V.Va_]

If only someone stole their blueprints somehow.

[@Nintony58]

Magnus is starting to become one of my favourite TFs. Although that might just be my love of super mode armor.

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

I really wish it had ended up as the full trailer since this was a one shot company anyways. The 6mm hand holes are really, really dumb, though.

[@abelinkinpark]

I'm always in support of add-ons of justice. They're just so...justified.

[@LBDNytetrayn]

Looks really cool, but between the lack of compatibility with the vehicle mode of UM and the way the original figure is almost completely obscured in robot mode, it almost makes the original toy seem unnecessary, as though they could have simply made a stand-alone toy without the original (save for the connecting bulk). I guess what I'm saying is that it seems like it enhances the original toy less than the Classics Ultra Magnus 's City Commander armor, and just covers it up more.

[@NemesisPrime1989]

Mine just shipped from BBTS! Should arrive sometime next week.

[@QuantaSolace]

Super Human Samurai. Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. I think I still have my mini figures from that show somewhere.

[@SomeOtherBots]

My god. That pun was on Craisis levels. But hey, thanks for giving this thing coverage. It needed it

[@RowdyRodimus]

OK, now that I got the crazy "I subscribed" post out of the way, this is the first 3rd party TF item I've ordered thanks to the review from Benscollectables, seriously an amazing review- that along with this one should make everyone want the set- (OK, second, I got Sonicron when it was like $20 somewhere on clearance) and I'm way more comfortable with something like this kit than something like the Not (Insert character here) 3rd party figures. It's just my opinion but a lot of the actual figures they produce are nothing more than fan approved knock offs. What I mean is have a company do an exact replica of G1 Slag, not even putting a TF logo on it or faction stickers and people bitch and moan that it hurts Hasbro or Takara (even though they aren't releasing them anymore) but let one of the 3rd party companies like whoever released the Masterpiece like Slag figure and that's A-Ok with them even though it is just a large exact replica of G1 Slag. A kit like this is just saying "You know that toy you bought? Here's something you can use to add to it that will make it pretty cool" It's like buying those packs of GI Joe sized guns and backpacks companies used to sell in the 80's. They weren't modeled exactly off Hasbro's designs but they were just extra stuff you could get and use with them. No harm no foul there. I guess my main point is that if someone has a problem with what they consider KO's they really should at least have some problem with people like Fans Project because all of those places have just taken existing characters and designs and just upscaled them and added more articulation and changed some transformations. I myself have nothing against KO's, in fact, I find some of them better than the originals (the oversized KO G1 DOubledealer is 10X better than the original IMO). Oh well... Anyway great freaking review for an awesome, awesome product. Really though, as great as this set is, it REALLY makes me not be able to wait for MP-22, the Masterpiece Ultra Magnus.

[@jamesriley7635]

+RowdyRodimus you buy what you want to buy dude

[@tartatovsky]

You're annoying

[@SpartacusGalkus]

This set needs to arrive on my doorstep like yesterday. I hope Transformazing does incredibly well so we can see more from them besides the Godbomber/powermaster armor.

[@KrosanBeast315]

The Keith's Fantasy Club shoulder upgrades for Fall of Cybertron Ultra Magnus can attach to certain places on the arms and legs. My Mebsuta-armored Ultra Magnus has one on each arm, and two on each leg. That adds 6 mores guns and 30 more Cluster Missiles. If you get the Mebsuta upgrade, you need to get your Magnus a far superior Hammer too. Mine uses an Energon Hammer. There are two sets of Cluster Missiles in the legs of the Mebsuta armor, but Vangelus didn't show them.

[@tformer0607]

just curious if you knew of the faceplate in the backpack and the fact that both the magnus and optimus figures were just repaints of eachother (nothing is different moldwise at all)

[@drcleverwittyname]

I saw that hammer at the end Vangelus. That better not be just a cameo.

[@TheVagabond7]

Overall, an amazing bit of toy add-on, but I gotta say that head is awesome. Playability and armament are great, but character in a transforming robot toy is often entirely in the head and face sculpt. And this guy 100% nails it.

[@superkeaton9912]

Welp, this just became a Must-Have.

[@themakerdrfrankenstein3121]

what does this add on kit cost?and where can i get this from?

[@muisverriet]

Description.

[@ultramaximusreviews]

This looks really good. Wish I picked it up now.

[@Jimboliah3985]

Is this a pretty good way to get started into 3rd party toys if you don't have one yet? (Fact: I don't have 3rd party toys yet...)

[@azard3]

11:31 Vangelus going all out on Ultra Magnus XD

[@CrimsonCascade]

if there was ever one thing i would ask for from the people that made this... is a way to fuse those 2 main components for this add-on kit into a form of trailer for magnus to carry

[@Darien0Shields]

Excellent review. Makes the toy look amazing. Good job Vangelus :) I don't know any other toy reviews with your production quality.

[@lutherwinborn3144]

the black hammer and gun set form dr.wo works great with mags

[@JTManuel]

This is almost perfect. My only gripe is the face. It's too anime for my liking.

[@omegawd]

all these multiple, consistent vange1us reviews....

[@luckyhang8748]

+Vangelus Great review! I was wondering if the trailer is still being produced. Is the trailer coming in a separate set later on?

[@Underscorezeus]

Maximus Ambus, anyone?

[@EmilyTempest81]

I had questions on what it would be like. now I want one.

[@DraconicDak]

How big is Mebsuta compared to City Commander?

[@evansmothermon1547]

I like the kind of cartoony but not too cartoony design on this.

[@noonethatspecial]

I got the Optimus Prime variant a couple of months ago, my only gripe was the upper elbow joints were fairly lose on mine. But yeah, this is a damn good toy!!!

[@lanojo87]

So... They're making an add-on kit FOR the add-on kit?? :o

[@HeroesofCybertron]

Wow! Someone remembers Superhuman Samurai!

[@shadowscribe]

I dunno about the 6mm; City Commander used an incompatible grip too. They even literally proved what happens to a smaller toy's decent rifle in his mighty palms.

[@RoboBeastWarrior]

Does anyone else feel physically in pain when he starts throwing expensive collectibles around?

[@qlawsjc]

I got this ending up getting another to make a hypernovae custom. Can bit recommend this guy enough!

[@mechanwhal6590]

PELVIC CROSSBOW

[@shadowscribe]

Knocked back against a wall, with a delayed falling over? Straight out of a dramatic fight scene and wasn't even trying. That's our Vangelus! From now on, the original toy will only be "Magnus" to me

[@Kobracondor]

That is friggin BEAUTIFUL!

[@timorvitae]

Where did you get the last hammer Magnus was holding? Thanks

[@MiztaMixmasta22]

That's Goldymarg from the GaoGaiGar Brave series. Awesome show by the way.

[@noonethatspecial]

Well, I have to start collecting Transformers now...

[@burninghammer83]

Gridman! YAY!

[@SoulConvoy]

SUPER HUMAN SAMURAI!!!!!! Nah seriously. Stop throwing magnus. It made me cry

[@TheMegops81]

Yea I'm convinced into buying this

[@MrMegaDude201]

VANGELUS!!! Did the magnus come with a face plate?

[@SixArmedSweater]

You just sold me on this figure. First Third-Party Outing, Engage!

[@edoggz20111]

Is there a trailer mode Vangelus?

[@jacks1678]

Uh oh... I may have to buy Meksuta and Mekbuda after watching this.

[@vickymiron9944]

Because of this review I ordered one and it came today and its as awsome as in the video thank vangelus

[@adammcgivernn]

...When he starts throwing it around, I laughed... So hard.

[@LtJDavid]

Oooooooh dem GRIDMAN references. So guuuud.

[@shadowscribe]

I enjoy the Seismite Sledgeslammer from shapeways. The boxier ones didn't feel right for the aesthetic. Just chop off the finishing bit and peg.

[@seanfulldark]

mention his picks are Now laser cannon!

[@dol_mel7487]

I wish they had kept the trailer....

[@KamenGrayz]

Dat Goldion Hammer you tease Vangelus you tease...

[@USSMariner]

I REALLY wish his extra pieces could combine into some sort of pseudo trailer.

[@DABADAVISUAL]

EXCELLENT REVIEW & FIGURE!!!

[@fearangel014]

Just saw both add-one on eBay and maaaan... They sure are pricey $100+ and that's without shipping yet.

[@CeranVA]

Check out BigBadToyStore. You'll find the Optimus Variety at less than 90.

[@MrScottYule]

Both that set and the optimus set are exactly the same, just the color pallet is different

[@buzzingsigndiner397]

I'd say just keep the Goldion Hammer there in his hand. :3 Problem solved!

[@SnyperMac1]

wow i didn't expect that much better than the optimus version

[@XxDevilboy666xXx]

that red transluant plastic should been on planet x caleus swords

[@wampasully7797]

it all looks real good, but does anyone else think the legs look too long to be proportionate?

[@rschultz83]

optimus has one when will you review is vangelus

[@gonickyourself]

Sold, this looks too good.

[@Transmech534]

I still want to know why Vangelus isn't allowed to use scissors

[@twilight_phantom2969]

imagine somebody with about 10000 paper cuts per square square centimeter covering there entire body. now imagine the entire population of a grade school with those cuts. that's why. I still have the scars...

[@DaimoHope]

So this would be Magnus' more fire-power then god form?

[@thespaceram2879]

you sound like mitch santona! i'm trying to figure out who listened to who first? lmao

[@RamonxMystiere.]

am i the only one seeing a nemesis prime/scourge repaint for this coming out?

[@aidzo5999]

hey vangelis what happened to kinglaffo?

[@twilight_phantom2969]

I still wish there was a full trailer.

[@KrosanBeast315]

Transformazing Toys went out of business, and never released the final upgrade. If they made the 'god bomber' armor/weapon upgrade, they might have stayed in business.

[@twilight_phantom2969]

KrosanBeast315 maybe. I see why they went out of business though. If I remember correctly this thing was the same price as the mmc omega supreme upgrade. Very few people bought this from what I heard.

[@KrosanBeast315]

People were asking about when the final upgrade would be out. People bought the first upgrade, so it had enough interest. But, in the end, Transformazing Toys never delivered the final one.

[@twilight_phantom2969]

KrosanBeast315 that sucks

[@misterbadguy7325]

@@twilight_phantom2969 It's a shame, 'cos, like, the energy is there, but the idea wasn't something a lot of people wanted. FOC Magnus was an okayish toy from a line widely seen as a slump period, and this design existed in service of a robot mode that, while cool, didn't really nail any particular aesthetic. There just wasn't a strong draw to it.

[@godxjz6068]

dayum to bad it doesnt work for alt mode

[@PokemonNerdNation]

His face sculpt kind of reminds me of Vegeta for some reason. haha

[@wlkrtxtnger69]

I fucking need this. NEED!

[@XxDevilboy666xXx]

he looks almost like his ingame model

[@ckaicydek]

WAAAAAH!! Stop throwing your toys! STOP IT!! Otherwise, really nice and informative review.

[@DiehardMechWarrior]

FOC ULTRA MAGNUS REVIEW WHEN?! [/fanwankery over]

[@SladeThirteen]

Well, damn. I have an FOC Prime in the mail right now... I think I know what I'm going to be getting with my next pay check. T3T I thank you, Vangelus... And my wallet hates you. X3

[@_V.Va_]

It's unfortunate the impracticalality of FOC designs make it so he can't hold his gun in certain poses. : (

[@EnderLord007]

That crotch-plate was going to very bad places. I agree strongly with the white text.

[@opsimathics]

aaargh I have the tomy version, they don't color-match

[@hollowshinobi1]

That test was painful to watch.

[@Croooodle]

16:43 ...Weren't you the one who told them to stop listening to people?

[@dannybui7161]

I just thought of something, mebsuta = mech suit

[@Thomas_Name]

11:47 That's abuse and I'm contacting the authorities.

[@evilkudos81]

"His ears also can wriggle." ... ... "eeeehhh~" Best comment of the month!

FFS stop throwing that expensive thing around! Once is enuff!

[@RowdyRodimus]

Dear Internet Personality Vangelus, for many cycles I have viewed various reviewers of Cybertronian wares on this "World Wide Web", however, it is with shame and dishonor brought unto my forefathers (Most people only have one, but it's a long story) and eventual heirs to admit that this is my first viewing of a video produced and preformed by you. Not that I had not heard the name "Vangelus" whispered, only whispered, in the darkest, most hidden, shadowy corners of places not only best left unseen but left uncreated by whatever dark gods have spat them into existence. Many time have I heard the name whispered, as if it were a legend, a mythical beast, something that was too unholy to have truly seen the light of day, not unlike a Bronie with an active sex life therefore, I never believed the tales until this very day. Dear Internet Personality Vangelus, I beseech thee to offer me penance for my unbelief, for my refusal to look into the light for fear of burning my very soul which had been hardened and blackened by the years of shame inducing treachery. I have tried to begin such penance by subscribing but if there shall be more, thy will be done...
