X-Transbots Overheat (Dragstrip Toy Version)

[@chrisk4751]

Cool bit of trivia, the driver is painted the same colours as the one Rumble throws out of the car when they first build the Stunticons

[@chriscarpenter3370]

"you mean rumble takes it!"

[@chriskiefer7493]

That driver is the lieutenant Dan of the Transformers world.

[@laxiton]

Yeah he's got storage for the gun at the bottom/underside, with the barrel facing backward you can fit it in the middle of the back

[@astromotive6047]

I have a feeling that X-Transbots is creating this toy accurate set specifically to please Bobby. I mean out of all the combiners coming out why else would *ONLY* the Stunticons (Skullface's Favorite Transformers) receive a G1 Toy version and not others like the Aerialbots or the Protectobots.

[@laxiton]

X-Transbots is not doing those atm. And there are toy versions/faces etc of the aerialbots with the first zeta versions for example and. Also the toyworld devy is more toy inspired in details than cartoon really.

[@keithhunt8]

This was the only Stunticon I ever owned as a kid.

[@suprasport9118]

Out of the 3 sets, IMO these are the ones to keep in altmode or Combine mode. Personally I think they look and scale the best in there car modes. As always great review!

[@WaywardTraveler77]

I picked up the G2 version because I love the black version.

[@spot138]

XTB continues to kill it

[@austinwelch7313]

Are the heads easily swappable? I like the look of the toy version's deco better, but want the cartoon heads. Considering buying a second set for this reason.

[@MisaelCastilloBrenes]

I bought the Breakdown because I liked more the colors on that one, and I feel the same with this one as well. They look good. I don't like the head, but I would leave them in alt mode (or combined mode) and the other two with better head sculpt in robot mode. Thanks for the review!

[@jon9550]

Not to tell you your business, but since you have the original release of this toy a few side by side comparisons of the two in both modes would have been helpful. :)

[@jon9550]

I think that gun color is called "plum."

[@DolkkarToyznstuff]

While I'm not in on this set, I appreciate the options that X-Transbots is giving their fans. Well done!

[@mark4flair376]

I need some mustard for my sammy now mack!

[@atlantisrose6790]

Man with how finicky some of these transformations are becoming I can see a future time where alot of these figures start to break...

[@jronyjrony2340]

They release this before they release the trailer???

[@harryruffin1548]

Idk man. Something about the head sculpt and arms make it look like a bit of a knock off.

[@grimlock6017]

Agreed. I kinda wish the eyes had been painted. Accurate or not....at least he comes with the stig!

[@lysist]

The flop is totally an "individual results" thing. Mine is rock solid but my Deadend is super floppy.

[@roosjen]

Just imagine the driver is a hologram. Hidden gunfire through holograms!

[@laxiton]

Haha still quoting the "Kids"-movie :-D

[@NotBoringFilms]

beauty is in the eye of the beholder? 🤷🏻‍♂️🙈

[@gibran5000]

casper the friendly ghost he was. rip daniel johnston

[@happiaxxident]

Okay. Just opened my Overheat; G1 Toy version. Let’s see if Skully recommends transforming this one; or if it breaks… like my Crackup did and Flipout is subject too.

[@ReaverPrime]

Kids.... "Its just me, Casper."

[@miyinan]

So far all 3 g1 version limb bots of the xtb stunticons look better than the original releases

[@atlantisrose6790]

Looks like a go cart

[@thebeetovenrider1246]

Can someone let me know if these younger versions work with the original trailer

[@williamkious5349]

It's the Stig!

[@Randomcrapname80]

Shh...it's just me Casper

[@rob-n-roll]

I think Overheat is the weakest release of the four limbs: too many floppy articulations (at least, mine), the back is a mess, and fortunately I didn't have the curse of the breaking shoulders since I ordered the second run of the cartoon version

[@GibDozer1]

I like the head better.

[@Tombstonecross]

Nice bot
