The 'keeping dust off the figure in box' is a perfect point. I put my figure back into the box for that very reason. Now, I'm adding a sheet of folded clear plastic to fill in the gaping hole.
I just picked this dude up yesterday and he's pretty awesome. He's way way better than what I was expecting. His transformation is super clean and actually really fun. This dude is pretty slick in my opinion.
It's really funny how Dragstrip's introduction has him say "I live to obey" to Megatron, only to later proceed to tell him off when ordered to do something. I was lucky to find this guy a while back surprisingly unscathed and pristine in a walmart of all places. They must've just put them on the shelf because there was no dust on the figure and the head wasn't stolen yet like other open-box action figures in my area. Really nice figure, even if it lacks a wrist swivel. I now have all the stunticons since I missed out on the combiner wars dragstrip, but they cant combine due to the others being the combiner wars versions lmao. Odd how he's been in wave 1 of both Combiner wars and Legacy. The visible/hollow head is unfortunate, they could have probably found a way around that, the missing blast effect ports on the guns is really a step back,but it's not the first time they've done that in a modern figure. Pulsecon/SDCC Beast Wars Ravage is a big one because the guns are the right size and rough shape for blast effects, but they don't actually fit at all. Really big missed opportunity there. Speaking of Ravage, that reminds me there was the Combiner wars convention exclusive Beast wars Ravage with the horrible flat head. Really seems like Combiner bots get the short end of the stick sometimes in terms of engineering despite how far things have come.
When you had him split in half in robot mode I thought of Jazz from the live action movie lol. I can't wait for this combiner!! Hopefully we can get all newer figures of all the combiners
His yellow is also more uniform than most yellow Transformers. Motormaster should be released by the end of summer with Wildrider in the same wave. Then more information on the rest of the figures around July or August.
Amazing review of Legacy Dragstrip, PPR! Keep up the great work as always! This figure is everything I ever asked for from a G1 Dragstrip. And in my opinion, it's truly the best mainline G1 Dragstrip figure that we have ever gotten.
We need the plastic shield back on the box, Going Green does not mean Booger Picking opportunities on our collectibles, lol! Got this guy and stoked on getting the other guys. Great Review Sir, (Or Sgt., I know you work for a living.)
When I got Skids from Amazon they mailed it in a paper envelope, so the box was crushed onto the chest of the bot... so yeah the new boxes offer very little protection now.
YES FINALLY NOW I CAN GET THE STUNTICONS I've been a g1 fan ever since siege and I watched all 4 seasons of the g1 cartoon and also all of beastwars and as much as I love bayformers MY GOD G1 IS MY STUFF I wish I had it when I was a kid lol great review patriot prime
I am all about less plastic. Bad enough these toys are still made with (durable) plastics. I really dig that 98% of the packaging is recyclable. We need more sustainable packaging everywhere!
Happened to find him, Blaster, and Silverstreak at a local Target. I painted my figure's face with a mix of silver, blue and white [to give him his signature light blue face], and attempted to mix a yellow and tan for the front of the canopy. The paint there was a pretty poor match, but it looks better than unpainted yellow, at least to me. (I also attempted to paint the hinge but the paint got rubbed off in transformation, so I removed most of it leaving the panel lining.) I do hope Menasor's helmet has Prowl-style horns like the toy, as opposed to just having horns sticking out like the Combiner Wars figure. Then again, that's how the animation model looked, just with straighter horns.
Yeah I'm more worried about the lack of integerty in the box than the people being able to touch up figures. When I finally found Legacy figs on shelf this weekend I made double sure the boxes weren't damaged or damaging the figures. Hasbro's silly packaging choices aside, the figure looks great. Nice to see Drag Strip return to having that design that actually looks like a drag racer (with six wheels). I think even without Menasor these are going to be good individual display figures too.
have him preordered. legacy finally trickling in but not a lot here. so much extra plastics bits and they worry about the window. Hasbro 🤦 why when I recycle my boxes plastic included cause it is too. just trim the art section off to save. Dragstrip was a fav of mine too and excited to get this guy and not have to get the sannitizer out to clean him before even mess with him. I could see a Dreadnok with him which one dunno. I can just easily see them and the Stunticons working together.
Yep, stupid box! I just got a Silverstreak that is going back because there is a gash from right to left on his chest that is mighty deep. Most likely due to a person or during packing or shipping. Luckily Target has a few more online, I purchased 2 to hopefully get a "good" one. This is a good looking Dragstrip but I'm gonna stick with my Magic Square and the Oversized KO set i got as well. Just a small meh for the reuse of the combiner wars folding of the legs that every CW figure had at the time. I would have been cool if they thought of a new way to shorten those limbs in transformation but he does look solid. I wonder how much taller over the Magic Square Dragstrip he is. He's def taller we know :) Thanks for that look, great as always PPR!
I decided not to collect the Legacy line. The packaging is a huge turnoff but even the toys themselves look so cheap. They look like Happy Meal toys. You have to buy Toyhax decals just to spruce them up to make them look better. I’m out after Kingdom.
Magic Square did it, X-Transbots did it, DX9 did it. That nod to animation accuracy may turn folks off, but it's what we had. Of course, this carries the downside that Menasor loses the Scramble City nature like the G1 & Combiner Wars toys...but did anyone outside of us ol' skool G1 fans even care about that particular gimmick?? 😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣
I did. I'm a 2000s kid, and I adored that idea, and even how CW implemented it. ... Though the lack of diversity in the selection of molds really killed that line if you ask me.
I love that this is far more faithful and more on point with the toy/cartoon ..but ahh...I still feel like they fumbled it a little bit. I've gotten spoiled by the 3rd party versions..but even the tiny Magic Square figure pulls off a better transformation and bot mode than this one. I don't think budget would have been a factor...it comes down to their design teams.
Brother, if you keep raising hell over the plastic hypocrisy pretty soon our figs will be made out of cardboard....lol, I'm looking forward to getting the whole squad, Motormaster looked badass.
Hey, we get it! You're not a fan of the new packaging! Now you don't have to start every one of your videos with a huge dose of negativity! I go to channels like yours to have fun, not listen to the same rant every video.
No, the plastic binding, disks and hook isn’t the real hypocrisy, (megaphone in place) (cough) IT'S A PLASTIC FIGURE! (Megaphone off) if they really cared about the environment they should give or tell us a way to recycle they plastics, including the figures if they break or we don’t want them anymore.
The 'keeping dust off the figure in box' is a perfect point. I put my figure back into the box for that very reason. Now, I'm adding a sheet of folded clear plastic to fill in the gaping hole.
NOT PLASTIC!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
12:49 Total missed opportunity for a Bayverse Jazz reference!!
I figured others may have said it.
Don't wanna be a copycat.
I kinda hope Dragstrip and Dead End have the same combined mode separation point so that they can switch "pants"! 😂😂
I just picked this dude up yesterday and he's pretty awesome. He's way way better than what I was expecting. His transformation is super clean and actually really fun. This dude is pretty slick in my opinion.
As a kid, I had Dead End, Wildrider, & Breakdown. Kinda cool that this time around am starting with Drag and Motor. :)
That wasn’t rumble! That’s frenzy! 😂
I had to buy two of them. One for combining and one for standalone.
That's gonna be expensive. 😁
I have done similar in the past just to have a MIB and a display, guess I don't have to worry about that now. Thanks hasbro.
I think that paper ties and a smaller window would’ve been a better idea. More box art and a safe figure while reducing plastic
That magic square menasor is awesome

Hopefully, of course this video was filmed before the Motormaster announcement.
Got my hands on a Legacy Laser Optimus Prime he is Awesome, though I recommend that you fix his sword if it’s bent with the hair dryer trick.
Boiling Water or a Hair Dryer works wonders.
I have actually seen upgrades for the wheels on ebay
Patriot motormaster looks sick to 🙂 my favourite decepticons as a kid. 🇬🇧 waiting on dragstrip & kickback

Agreed. 😁
It's weird JJ. I would've never in a million years guessed that you would think that lol ;)
We need the plastic shield back on the box, Going Green does not mean Booger Picking opportunities on our collectibles, lol! Got this guy and stoked on getting the other guys. Great Review Sir,
(Or Sgt., I know you work for a living.)
Can’t wait to get the entire Menasor set.
This figure looks so good! I happy we get a better Menasor soon.
When I got Skids from Amazon they mailed it in a paper envelope, so the box was crushed onto the chest of the bot... so yeah the new boxes offer very little protection now.
My Legacy Galvatron box was crushed on the bottom half. Luckily, the figure and it’s accessories were fine. 🙏🏼
The only 2 G1 Stuntacons I had was Dragstrip and Wildrider. Looks like Wildrider is the next Stuntacon release.
I’m very very excited for the stunticons! I’m hoping they do Superion
Same here!
I'm definitely going to paint the inside of his wheels silver to add more detail.
YES FINALLY NOW I CAN GET THE STUNTICONS I've been a g1 fan ever since siege and I watched all 4 seasons of the g1 cartoon and also all of beastwars and as much as I love bayformers MY GOD G1 IS MY STUFF I wish I had it when I was a kid lol great review patriot prime

Dragstrip is a cool name!
Thank you PPR - I have him pre-ordered along with Kickback. Really needed your opinion before I got him! Keep being awesome!!

Then again, that's how the animation model looked, just with straighter horns.
As we've seen, Menasor will indeed have an animation as opposed to toy based helmet. [and yes, December seems to be the timeline for Motormaster.]
I need to see a t-shirt from you that says "Get your booger-picking fingers off of my TRANSFORMERS!"
On it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The last thing I care about are those blast effects. I've grown to hate them. LOL
As I stated, I do like using them for pics and outros, other than that they're all in a baggie.
Yeah that’s good. I’ve heard bad things about keeping them on fighters long term.
Is Drag Strip out now? I preordered him and can't wait.
A buddy of mine found this one for me at a Target in TN.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews ah right, well I’m in UK so probably some time to wait. Enjoy your new figure
Great review. That's the one i want to get. But can't find him.
Make sure to ask target associate to look in back. I found all my legacy by asking. For some reason they don’t stock them a lot of times
I really need to review legacy dragstrip.
I wanna hold off on him since A: I got the UW version and B: I want a selects release of their G2 colors.
For once I'm not upset at a robot head being visible in vehicle mode.
For all the trouble Hasbro is having getting shipments in, I'm not even sure that we'll see Motor Master this year..., at least not wide spread. 😢
Great figure. We need a petition to Hasbro to stop with those wheel clips. Lol

All the boxes at my Target are smashed.

Alrighty then.
Thanks for watching.
I wasn't expecting much from Legacy myself, but I haven't got a craptastic one yet.

Looking forward to the new Menasor! The combiner wars version was probably the worst IMO.

No doubt
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Darth Maul!!!!
Have you always had music playing in the background? It’s really distracting. 😕
For a couple of months.
There's a lot more traffic now near my house, so it's music or the sound cars driving by.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews Gotcha. That makes sense. Carry on!
