Who Even Is Thundertron?? |

[@AmelityshTV]

My nan bought me the original while my dad was in hospital. Was cool and distracted me well.

[@ultranova9599]

Hope your dad recovers quickly and your nan sounds wonderful.

[@Ballistic_Productions]

Hope your dad does well sending prayers 🙏🙏

[@Mako_Official475]

I hope your dad recovers man 🙏🙏

[@AmelityshTV]

Oh shit no he's cool now, this was a while back. Just a happy memory from a not so happy time

[@Ballistic_Productions]

So glad he's alright. Truly is a cool figure and your nan is awesome for getting it for u!

[@frenchfriedbagel7035]

I like how this year we get Thundertron Star Seekers And Tidal Wave. We can’t pretend like Hasbro wasn’t looking to make a pirate crew this year.

[@Enbeanie]

"who even is Thundertron" he's my favourite character that's who I had the OG toy when I was wee and now I am very hyped for his new incarnation

[@SirTaxFraudALot]

Shepherds pie ahh

[@NinAmuro57]

He can also store his sword on his hips like an actual pirate, which is neat. (He can on his back, like in alt mode, but it looks messy)

[@ValkInnit]

Was looking for this comment! Might think about picking him now

[@joaolucasnascimentoleite2831]

He was a badass in the novels . We need Thundertron and his StarSeekers to apear in a future series as a third faction , they had so much potential

[@qtarocujoh]

You're in luck (sort of) as the next Walmart exclusive line is the Starseekers according to leaks, though if you don't live in the U.S., it might be a little tricky to get

[@josephbolcome5462]

@@qtarocujoh That's great if those leaks are true. I was hoping Hasbro would flesh out the team a bit to reinforce Thundertron their captain.

[@purplewolfranger22]

Sadly the "star seekers" we are getting have no relation to thundertron

[@qtarocujoh]

@@purplewolfranger22 there’s 2 more that haven’t been revealed yet, being Roadpig and a leader Thundertron

[@purplewolfranger22]

@qtarocujoh yeah im hoping the leader comes with either the minicons, the requiem blaster as a whole akin to the star saber that came with armada starscream, or enough accessories to warrant the price bump. Otherwise it's going to be the easiest skip of the year.

[@supersonicmario56]

4:34 He can store it on his back. On his "coat tail" to be more precise. There's a peg on the side of the sword that allows you to do so.

[@FennekinTF]

He did that for Lion mode, but didn't mention it in bot mode. Which is a teeny bit odd.

[@linusfornow]

I LOVE HANS ZIMMER’S MUSIC! THAT HAS TO BE ONE OF UR BEST INTROS YET

[@eeftankian]

The sides of the feet flip backwards in lion mode to make them look a little bit different from robot mode

[@publicprofilename4273]

Dude, I also feel ya on the whole "used to them having backpacks" thing. Like say Tarn and Bludgeon.. well, Tarn really, I store the cannons on Bludgeons back, but him, and maybe 86 Kup, even ER Prime to an extent, since I took off the front wheels. But they do kinda feel more action figure than robot in disguise sometimes.

[@jimmyrobot3170]

Hasbro finally acknowledges the novels

[@novustalks7525]

Crazy times we live in

[@charlesrin]

Hasbro need to expand the Star Seekers. Very poseable and creative design. Design of the first toy of Thundertron was created by Emiliano Santalucia.

[@octobotimus]

I miss the shoulders and head form the original. Bro looks like Santa now

[@ll_koolio]

9:19 Lion gerwalk mode

[@pedrobarreto4154]

Hi Brazilian here. There was a most easier way to open the passatempo. On the side of the package there was an abra aqui (open here) with a fita that you can pull.

[@scatterbrain8764]

Anyone else think Thundertron's lion mode kinda looks like something out of Mega Man Battle Network? I'm kinda tempted to get him purely based on that.

[@novustalks7525]

My thoughts exactly lol. I LOVE THE PAINT JOB ON THIS GUY!!! and what they did with the lion face is genius

[@isaacclarke195]

I had the original as a kid but as many toys have happen, it was lost to time. I was super happy when they made this guy in legacy, it was an instant buy for me.

[@hectorz9555]

If you got legacy animated Optimus prime, you could use a cover of the theme song instead of the real theme. That would be a good alternative to the copyright issue

[@FennekinTF]

Thats an option!

[@TFfangeek]

Great review That Toy Guy!!! I never thought Transformers pirates would be their own faction, but the Star Seekers are among the best villains of the Transformers comics. Really enjoyed that opening shot of Thundertron on the Black Pearl. :D Keep on begin amazing.

[@cate1174]

0:14 after seeing this I'd like to see him standing on my Skull's Eye Scooner

[@Mr.Jarbles]

Bought this because it's SO different from anything they've put out in recent years. The alt mode has a Voltron feel to it. And he just has SO much character even though I never read the story, which means I have to now.

[@lucas.n.carvalho.artist]

Great review, discovered this character directly from this new release! Also, Brazilian mentioned! Aéé!! Those snacks are amazing, grew up eating most of them!

[@Heroduothecomedian]

Man what could had been if prime got a 4th seasons *shakes head* well at least the books are on the Internet archives for everyone to read for free and they are good stories

[@isaacsussman5632]

This figure is honestly an early contender for my toy of the year, just out of how effortless he feels. Articulation is a bit limited in places but what moves REALLY moves, the transformation is like butter and you can actually open the range of articulation of the lion by just not doing the last step of plugging the front arms in. This is on top of him looking absolutely gorgeous (i put him with my velilocitron override, and they compliment so good). For a character that was met with resignation, confusion, and doubt, i was not expecting to find a contender for at least the top 15 generations style figures.

[@purplewolfranger22]

I'm glad you like him, but calling him figure of the year is most definitely a stretch.

[@alexero4625]

9:21 this step reminds me of siege apeface, whose gorilla arms were hidden in the back section of legs

[@Sardaukar_]

In the lion mode, you can fit the fangs into the grooves around the sword hilt to have him securely hold it that way, which is just great

[@returnedtomonkey8886]

3:23 Ayo what's that sky byte?

[@AsherV20]

Hellwarp. He was only released in Japan about 10 years ago.

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

That intro has to be one of the best yet. Not a huge beast mode but I absolutely love the gruff pirate aesthetic and vibes Thundertron gives off. And given he can be either interpreted as either a Wolf or Lion he'd be a great contender for a Legacy G1 Carnivac. Really curious to know why this guy would get both a Voyager, and Leader Class release in the same year.

[@PlatinumPaladin]

You'd hope the leader figure has more than just some added extras, because anyone who picked up the voyager is going to feel ripped off.

[@gabrielbavini6195]

Brazil Mentioned!!! (Also passatempo is a banger, if they send to you paçoca you definitely should try, but keep it in mind that they are made with peanuts)

[@UhIdk.Minilla]

As a Brazilian, I've never eaten most of these snacks lol

imo the old shoulder design looks far better, the claws were my fav design aspect. They should have kept it

I'm still remember Thundertron he supposed set to appear TF Prime it was scrapped

[@estevaocybertron8428]

wow, I'm from Brazil!! I really like the passa tempo!!

[@AJOlaks]

Thundertron is pretty cool but really the Deluxes and Cores are where this wave really shines (note I haven't gotten Animated Prime yet)

[@fishpop]

I kinda wish he still had the shoulder claws.

[@burningoceans5066]

Nice, literally exactly what i was looking for "who IS Thundertron?" Cuz i had zero idea

[@H.3.l.p]

YOOO BRASIL SNACKS!!! I used to eat so much passatempo as a kid, but also awesome figure, shame they're both hard to find and expensive here

[@kboy1158]

Tfwiki said season 3 of transformers prime was gonna be pirate themed and feature thundertron, but hasbro chose dragons instead because they thought beasts and dragons were more popular to kids(basically boys) instead of pirates.🏴‍☠️🚫🐉👍

[@Scerttle]

He feels like a throwback to older voyagers in both size and aesthetic. I don't hate that.

[@Jason49110]

I don't know rly anything about him. But I. FUCKING. LOVE. PIRATES.

[@Brock-brock]

1:10 the fact we are also getting a tidal wave figure Also you had both those figures just put thunderstorm on the shipwould be the coolest thing ever

[@kevaegis]

I 'store' the sword in the lion's mouth Zoro-style; it's not super secure but it's also not going anywhere, plus it looks cool :)

[@RaymonZX200]

The sword pegs into the grey coattails

[@RexFilmsOfficial]

Okay call me crazy but Prime universe Alpha Trion out of this guy

[@Jirwemthegreat]

I waited in vain for him to show up in Prime. I even originally thought when they were teasing Beast Hunters with the Predacon symbol that they were going to introduce the Star Seekers.

[@BioCreatorZ]

The beast mode made me think of Blade Wolf from Metal Gear Rising. It was because of the paws, and I had been playing a lot of MGRR at the time

[@henriquehultmann2086]

Eu n tankei o pai dele abrindo o passatempo kkkkkkkkk, que bom que gostou! Eu adoro!

[@turnoffthedark268]

the feet can transform a little too in lion mode, you flip back the robot spikes

[@lukebaldock4672]

This needs to become thunderhowl

[@Autobot-Revs]

TBH, Idk if I'm gonna get him, I'm not that big into transformers that turn into animals but don't commit to it. Because then the alt mode reminds me of the VTech Knock Off Transformers...

[@MethodFigures]

I gotta see the rest of the star seekers before I commit lol

[@Darkus_Da_Arcadian-Dragon]

It’s a good thing I bought Titan Class Tidal Wave 🤣

[@PabloTuCausita]

[@darrenbent7601]

I've never heard of him before this toy was released.

[@fishpop]

3:00 to skip the sponsor Cos even toy reviews have sponsored segments now...

[@Fruit_handler]

You can untab the lion mode elbows from the body and have some extra poseability in beast mode

[@fer1f1tz]

My brother had the old one. And I had no idea what he was. I do remember finding pieces of him in my bionicle bin though

[@tylervanpeursem7627]

Every time i see thundertron i think of the commander bosses from elden ring

[@mrpicklesaid3834]

Nice. Probably gonna pick this up

[@Ballistic_Productions]

Bangerrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!! This is a neat little figure. Definitely kinda different, but in a good way. I like his little pirate cape and he reminds me of Sentinel Prime's design in the Bayverse.

[@khyron42prime40]

I've warmed to him a bit since, but the wrist swivels being completely blocked and the other limitations (especially as a lion) meant he's one of the very few TFs I've ever been genuinely disappointed by when I got him.

[@purplewolfranger22]

Sandstorm is that for me.

[@Nagatem]

He’s a Liger not lion, The fact that they confirmed he went to the Zoids planet, and scanned a liger made me very happy

[@ErmIDK19]

im actually getting thundertron toy flashbacks

[@publicprofilename4273]

Dude, I wanna hang out with your dad lmao. He's cool AF! Probably closer to my age than you as well, although you got the cool af thing goin on too.

[@fullspectrumdominanc]

Is he related to Voltron😂 now there’s an idea for a crossover!

[@grosudarius2751]

I remember being 5 and having this . To this day i dont know where his head is 😂

[@wangeroogerque]

I just re-watched the first two Pirates of the Caribbean movies and refused to watch the next one without this guy to play during the movie. So I just ordered one, because I really want to finish the movies again. 🤣 I was actually still thinking about buying the old toy, I found it sealed for 45€ on ebay. But this version has a bit more of this Davy Jones vibe I was looking for.

[@purplewolfranger22]

For a price like that I'd have to pick it up, but no way in hell I would open it.

[@FennekinTF]

I don't know too much abt Thudertron, but he is definitely cool! Idk if I want this guy, but he looks really good! I actually have an idea for a TFP Season 4, which would take place after the movie. Its more of a basic layout. Basically, Optimus would still be dead, Knockout would be kinda doing his own thing, neither 'Bot nor 'Con, The main characters would be Bumblebee, Smokescreen, Ultra Magnus, Arcee, Bulkhead, & Wheeljack, but Bee, Smoky, & Arcee would be (even more) major characters. The basic setting would be on Cybertron, mainly, while Ratchet would still be on Earth (he went back after the movie). & the season would take place a few years after the movie. The human characters; Agent Fowler, Jack, Miko, & Raf would _AT THE VERY LEAST_ be mentioned, but they _could_ show up if the story allowed it. & Thundertron & his Crew aboard the Tidalwave would be major antagonists/characters, Idk abt full-on villains, cuz again, Idk Thundertron too well, but still. & the season would have a few bits like what are the Predacons doing now, where did Galvatron (hes Galvatron to me) go after the movie?, etc etc. But, nothing much of that, the season's story & plot would mainly be everything else I mentioned. & ofc new characters could be introduced. Does anyone like my idea/basic layout for a potential Season 4 of TFP? I like it alot. It would be really cool! Also, I don't remember when, but quite a bit ago, I read the Exodus novel, but never finished it. Again, its been quite a bit ago since the last time I read it, so I honestly don't know what to do.

[@cowboybarbaryn1302]

Huge heads up btw. Be careful with the feet. The section that flips around for the lion mode is held in by basically a giant c clip. But that clip can break and did on my copy (it cracked pretty significantly) I need to contact hasbro for a replacement still but idk how

[@cowboybarbaryn1302]

This could very easily be a problem with just my copy but given the way the part is constructed And where the breakage was I figured I should provide warning

[@SlytherinReviews]

Is your original Thundertron the Transformers GO! Thundertron repaint, cause I found Thundertron in Transformers Prime that has different accessories

[@Discontinued-t6w]

Yes I am completely biased, he is my favourite figure of all time

[@Idkwholmao]

[@THEeternalllama]

This guy is cool just his alt mode front is just bulky

[@diablorojo3887]

I don't want to be that guy, but I hope the sponsor box is afforable because is 2 dollars or less for the contends of that box

[@ValkInnit]

Does the sword store on his hip panels? Cause that's probably the reason why it doesn't store on his back since most pirates have their swords on their hips

[@purplewolfranger22]

It stores on both.
