Yeah man!

On your Prime Changers? The right one I feel a click but not super secure. No click on the left hand on mine.

Around 4 and a half inches.

If you want a Prime statue he doesn't look bad from certain angles. If you want a nice looking Prime in truck mode, he's really good. If you want a Prime Transformer... let's just say he's pretty awful.

Oh cool. I was thinking that. Lately Hasbro does have accessories with one figure that belong to another. They did that with ROTB SS Primal. Gave him a chain that goes with ROTB Battletrap.

I think he's usually a great toy but I don't think I've liked a single one of his characterizations in media. Example being in Transformers Animated... he refused to believe Prime and the others encountered Deceptions. He wouldn't listen to anything they had to say until it was too late. Transformers RID 2001... he comes to Earth and Prime thinks it's to help. He says nope I'm here to kill you, take the matrix and lead the autobots. I could go on and on lol. I did a video about it as well. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing anyone who likes him and am hoping that some day there will be a show or something where I do like him.

​​@@MoonBase84-gl2eh Wow, i tought that i was the only one who disliked TFA and RID 2001 Magnus. You know? It's funny because those ones are very bad versions of the character, literally the best Ultra Magnus versions are on G1 and the comics (Except for IDW 2005, that Magnus was trash)

I haven't read many of the G1 or IDW comics unfortunately. Growing up comics were hit and miss with availability in my small town area. I've been working on checking out more of the IDW comics. Do you have any particular IDW comics you'd recommend? Starting in February next year Skybound is releasing compendiums of the original Marvel comics and I'm definitely picking those up.

That's a great list!

I'm hoping that he does but Magnus doesn't have a great track record in my book lol.

I don't remember offhand but he definitely is a bigger character in The Headmasters. You're also right about the combiners. Superion, Menasor, Bruticus, Densfor, Predaking, Computron, and Abominus show up throughout the show. Not to mention the Japan only Raiden.

Thank you. Really appreciate it. I'm not really looking right now. I have a lot of money tied up in preorders but thanks for reaching out.

You're right about that for sure. It's a shame we didn't get him in a cartoon. I think if they brought the cartoon out with him in it the franchise wouldn't have gone into the decline it did until Beast Wars revived it. Everyone loves Prime.

There's no denying that he's a great figure.

I was going to but I didn't because he's an older figure so I decided just to do the pictures. The problem was when I was editing, the pictures were fine but for some reason ended up terrible after the video was up. That's why I immediately pinned the apology comment.

That's awesome!

I think you're right. When he was first revealed so many of us were excited for "animated" Lockdown. In hand he's definitely ROTF more than Animated. I wish they would just reissue some of the older lines like Animated and Prime like they do with G1 stuff. Actually planning a video on that topic.

@@MoonBase84-gl2eh yeah 100%, I really want some of those prime figures, like that first edition Optimus looks so clean in both modes. Ig yeah they probably could retool this guy with a new head to be TFA lockdown and that would be cool

I think I'd pick him up again if he came out with an animated head. It'd be a good way to get him out again and not be an exclusive.

Thank you. I have tried to keep some Transformers boxed but I can't do it. They need to be played with lol.

@@MoonBase84-gl2eh This might be the sign I needed to open him up haha. Thanks again im really enjoying your content!

Lol. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it!

I really want Filch and Cannonball. I'm hoping I stumble on them at my local Walmart but doubt it lol. The more I mess with Lockdown the more I agree with you. Definitely over "G1-a-fied" like most of the Legacy Prime Universe figures. Glad you werw able to pick up Filch and Cannonball and hope you can score the other Star Raiders. Ferak looks cool as well.

I got this at my friend's comic shop. I think it was released awhile back. There is a more recent release in animation colors that is a Walmart Exclusive. I believe you can still get that one on their website.

@@MoonBase84-gl2eh OK thank you

@@TheGrandPrime no problem.

My first two were Huffer and Cliffjumper. In my small town we had a little mom and pop store and they only had minibots and cassettes lol. I had ROTF Leader Prime as well and you make a valid point. I'm sure he'd make a lot of other people's top ten as well.

I totally agree with you. I would love any way to get a reissue Thunderclash. I was going to track an original down until I found out he had the gold plastic syndrome.

@@MoonBase84-gl2eh I'd be more interested in a new figure of him. Same design with modern articulation and details.

I hear you. Personally I'm greedy. I want a reissue And a new one lol. I'm surprised they haven't given us a new one yet. I don't think they realize how well a new Thunderclash would sell.

​@MoonBase84-gl2eh I assume they see him as a low-interest character due to being a European exclusive. But I think the ability to reuse the mold as Machine Wars Prime would increase his viability.

I agree. Primes sell for sure lol

I want to pick it up for sure.

Glad I'm not the only one!

@@MoonBase84-gl2eh tbh i agree whith This video in general

Thanks. I really appreciate that!

Lol! Thank you.

Thanks!

That's a great pick for sure!

I also have the Seige and he is great. My latest video is about underappreciated/overlooked Primes. At the end I talk about Primes that are more recent that I feel will fall into that category. Seige definitely falls into that category. I didn't mention him in the actual video because for length reasons. I'm actually planning on doing a single video about Seige.

​​@@MoonBase84-gl2ehI prefer Siege over Earthrise Prime also. In a nutshell, both are faithful to the "G1 Prime" look but, Siege has BETTER proportions and a much more visually interesting design.

@@Gametester110-qf8vs Seige definitely looks better than Earthrise when talking about proportions. Overall I'd say I like Seige more as well.

I definitely agree. Overall I think the game has a cool look.

I've been thinking of getting the APC Toys trailer for sure. I have some of their TF Prime figures and they are really good. I'd love to see an MP TF Prime or official reissues of the TF Prime toys.

@@MoonBase84-gl2eh if you have Attack Prime or Frist edition I get the trailer, it well made and worth it. I suggest getting a second Attack Prime to remain as the truck attached to the trailer for display.

That would look really nice for sure I bet. Thanks for the info.

Mine too!

I love Primal but just wanted to cover regular Optimus for the video.

Too expensive to try lol!

Lol!

Definitely!

The game was actually better than I anticipated. I usually don't like those type of games but it's pretty fun. You should try it sometime.

I'm definitely going to pick it up and try it out.

I finished everything released for season 2 so fat and it got pretty good. I wish Hasbro would learn to let shows breath a bit before they get the axe. I still get frustrated about animated getting so abruptly canceled. It took me awhile but I ended up really loving it.

It looks like it's going to be a fun game. Adult wise Earthspark Expedition is a fun little game as well. I had a good time just chilling and playing through it. Nothing Earth shattering but decent enough.

I think they were going for something different and made it aimed for a younger demographic or a family show to bring in the next generation of fans. I just finished what's on so far for season 2 and I thought like I did with season one, it gets pretty good. Both seasons start off pretty slow and kind of boring but get much better. After seeing the first batch of season 2 I see a lot of potential and now am kind of bummed it's looking like season 2 will be it's end. BUT also interested in seeing what's next.

The promotional pics definitely don't do it justice. It's a nice figure.

I think so too. I'm hoping they will be easy to pick up.

Reports say season two will be it's last. A new show is being worked on.

@@MoonBase84-gl2eh Very sad and frustrating; reminds me so much of how Animated went off. Everything about this show felt new and interesting, so to see it bogged down like this really sucks.

Yeah I was really frustrated how they canceled Animated as well. I hope that whatever comes next gets treated better. They need to have more patients with the shows before canceling them.

I can understand that. I like the show. It's just not on the top of my list. The family aspect is really good and sends a good message to kids. If my kids were younger I think I would have enjoyed it more because I'd be watching with them. In general Transformers seems to have a track record of ending shows quickly. I felt that they definitely did with Cyberverse. They've done a poor job of marketing so that leads to low toy sales which leads them to canceling and starting over. I really do think the next show will tie in with Transformers One. Hopefully they bring out a line of quality fun toys and market much better than they have been.

Thank you. Really appreciate it!

That's awesome. I didn't know about the comic 2 pack until afterwards. Only one of those I have pre-ordered is the Grimlock.

That's awesome.

They yellowed already? That sucks! Sorry to hear that.

@@MoonBase84-gl2eh yup. I sort of have a theory or two. I completely understand that age, sunlight or sometimes lack of all cause yellowing... especially in 80's figs like Jetfire and some Joes...but I have seen a lot of cases where ppl live in mobile homes and/or use the OSB board shelves and plastic seems to yellow much faster in those cases. I'd love to see a test or study done on those situations versus a few other display areas.

That is interesting and I'd say very possible. If you test it let me know how it goes.

Oh man I didn't notice that. Should be on the roof. Nice catch!

I will agree that his transformation is not fun. I'm lenient on the overall final product because to get WheelJack to be able to transform into that alt mode while still looking like WheelJack had to be a challenge for sure. I think they managed to do a good job for what they had to work with when it comes to bot mode. The pain in the rear transformation is a product of that challenge. Basically imo, the bot mode is not as bad in hand and the pictures made it look much worse.

I would love to see your stop motion of him!
