Cassettes have one job to fit in Blaster he barely does that. It's so tight it doesn't even fit Soundwave. Here's hoping the upcoming cassettes like Ramhorn don't have such a flaw
@@smittzero8463 clearly over 3 years using the same mold and 4 different releases isn't enough time and experience for someone to write down the dimensions 😂
Hey prime i just wanted to say thank you i love all your videos my grandpa is really sick and to cheer mw up i like to watch all youre videos thank you man❤
I really appreciate your reviews. An increasing number of reviewers out there are soft peddling the drawbacks to figures. You are one of the few remaining who tends not to pull their punches.
Well core class isn’t actually going away, rather I believe they won’t be sold individually. A shame since this had so much potential for Bayformers but I hope we can see the likes of Scorponok, Ravage, Laserbeak, etc. in one way or another.
Something I fine disappointing is that he has far less articulation than the G1 Figure! The legs on that one had not just the hips, but also the knees and ankles articulated.
I definitely have SS86 Steeljaw in my collection, can’t wait to have Ramhorn so that we can have a second speaker and we desperately need a Rewind figure in solid colours
You know, why do we have the one speaker? It's because of Ramhorn. I pray we find a way to get an opaque Rewind because without him, Blaster's spy circle won't be complete.
I picked up two of the Steel Jaws, so that covers both of the sonic cones. As for the figure, I don't have him in hand yet, as BBTS just recently gave me a notification that he's in. Anyhow, You gotta' be "K.i.T.T. ING" me! Bring on that review!
To be honest it doesn’t look that bad for a core class. The only thing that sucks is that you have to buy extra for 86 blaster and he keeps getting sold out at my target.
I got mine last week. I was very surprised to see him. 86 Rumble and Frenzy are much better in terms of cassettes, however Steeljaw is still nice. Very compromised, but i was always gonna buy him at first sight.
Looks decent, widh the backpack was included in the transformation,hope they do ramhorn,btw i have the Legacy g2 jazz (i notice its a recolor of the ss86 deluxe,bought it at the price of 16,00 dollars on amazon)it looks awesome my favorite jazz for now
Steeljaw may not be the best cassette released but he is Blasters first original cassette. Eject is a reuse from Kingdom/Legacy. I think he's kinda cool for a completely original design. Articulation may be lacking in the leg department, but the way they constructed his mane is cool
@@PrimeVsPrime Doing entirely original cassette robots is difficult when they have no template to go by so I can understand why Steeljaw is a little underwhelming to some, but for a first attempt, they did a really good job. I'm looking forward to Ramhorn for Blaster
I really want Hasbro to produce these cassette bots Autobot and Decepticons to have proper arcticulations.. Sadly, none of them are up to snuff. If a third party can do them all with greater articulation and smaller than this, why can't Hasbro? This is extremely disappointing!
The best cassette bot so far I think is Bumblebee Ravage. Fantastic articulation for the scale & so accurate. I really wished they same applied for these 86 cassettes 😰
I mean it's alright for it's time but I just eventually didn't even finish it when the orange robot started rhyming and I was reminded this was a kids cartoon. I can see why people like it tho
This very briefly had me reconsidering my decision to skip the new Blaster entirely since I already have Uniquetoys Soundmixer, but seeing how Steeljaw turned out, nah, I think I'm good.
Lack of feet does hinder it, for crying out loud it is 2024! Feet articulation should be a bate minimum. Agree on the wings being part of the base figure. If Masterpiece can, so should this. Still want a Nightstalker repaint. Sadly, the Masterpiece version is hard to come by.
For me this figure fails in two aspects - having wings and tail as removable kibble and not be able to fit into Soundwave's chest. Second one is especially disappointing for me, because i love this gimmick and interconnectivity was main sell for me. Really upset about that tbh
Yeah I’m not sure why there appears to be this tolerance issue across the cassettes when it comes to the decks of both Soundwave & Blaster. It’s a shame!
hey primevsprime, 2 things, first, did you saw the CT 01 iron prime? its a third party voyager size rotb optimus prime, and it has some insane transformation, also, if dna makes an upgrade kit for ss 112, they need to include some parts for the mainline, new legs with ancle pivot and new hands with a swivel
I think that if hasbro had a problem making core class cassete bots they should just upscaled them to delux class, slap a third mode (triple-changer) and roll with it. Sure it would loose ability to fit in with soundwave/blaster but at least we would get good, nice looking figure to display/play with it
I agree blast effects make is more of value if the second speaker is due with Ramhorn. Blast effects have dual mode here for use with Steeljaw and the Blaster speaker. I’m a sucker for the minions. I already have it shipping to me.
I'd mainly want to see a third party company give him articulated legs. I don't think he's horrible, after all steeljaw definitely seems to be a much harder design to get perfect than the more humanoid ones like eject and rumble, but he's definitely got flaws. Still probably going to pick him up because I'm kind of scared that like rumble and frenzy, steeljaw too may increase in prices dramatically after he gets released.
Pre ordered this the moment it was able to be, and it will live on my desk for as long as I do, probably. This is to say that in spite of the fact I've no attachment to the character, nubby-legged lion brick was all the appeal and reason I needed=to not only order it, but try to find ways to make it a permanent fixture on my desk.
I ordered it because I have the translucent Eject and Rewind from the Legacy Blaster and Twincast. Doesn't look like it will be a highlight but it will sit nicely with the rest. I will be upset if you can only get Ramhorn in the Perceptor pack and not on his own because I already have SS86 Perceptor.
I'll admit it does look a lot better here in-hand on video than the promo pics and even in-hand pics released later do. Still, I think they can do better going by the new Rumble and Frenzy. Steeljaw doesn't look limited by size more it's the cost it would take to really do it right.
I honestly don't have any issues with the way he transformes. The G1 toy, both guns and the backpack were separate. This one just has the separate backpack. It's also not a flat beast mode either. The original Steeljaw was just like the original Ravage in many respects. Only thing that really gave him depth was the weapons you had to carry in your pocket. I think it's amazing we got a great looking lion mode as it is. Could have used more paint though. The second tape spindle for example and the lion mode shins needed some grey paint. Outside of that, I'm fine with this.
@@PrimeVsPrime Oh for sure. For the price point it SHOULD have come with that second speaker cone at least. For what we did get though, ignoring the price for the moment and only taking it as the toy it is, I think it's a pretty good figure.
While i am still going to get him for my collection i would have preferred no blaster speaker accessory in favor of a combined set for steeljaw and Ramhorn. Most likely ramhorn will be the same song second verse as it will also be a core class with the remaining speaker accessory.
Perhaps so! But they’ve already released a voyager 86 Blaster that was a repaint of Kingdom. That would be really bad to their customer if they reissued it again!
@@Fuz_noodleif they were to do that at some point, maybe SS86 versions of Ravage and Rewind could be sold together while Laserbeak could be an accessory figure with SS86 Soundwave
I would really prefer like a 2 pack set of ramhorn and steeljaw with both of blaster's weapons. I really feel like eject should have been a stand alone release instead while steeljaw came with 86' blaster.
I’m sure Ramhorn will be easy and simple to get and not part of an exclusive three pack with a deluxe character and another cassette I already have! 😁 Good thing I don’t need to worry because Hasbro is always so consumer friendly 😇
I think to justify prices and allow a slightly higher budget they should honestly just replace core class with the scout class. Smaller than a deluxe but makes up with great details and stuff. Instead of making core class the way it is
Core class is probably performing badly because it's a nightmare to actually find the figures. I'm only now seeing SS86 Spike on shelves and I don't know if I've seen Tasmanian Kid for sale since Amazon cancelled my pre-order. This set really is a mess. You get a cassettebot that partsforms (more than just plugging in the weapons at the end), a smaller version of that partsforming piece (because, for some reason, they couldn't have made the normal tail piece compatible with the speaker), and one half of a pair of accessories for a different figure. While it's nice that the speaker slides over Blaster's hands, I can have a quick look online and find three different third party speakers that look much better (AND can integrate into his alt mode, unlike these Hasbro speakers). Plus, I can buy those in pairs instead of being forced to pick up another entire figure later on. I have no interest in double dipping on an inevitably worse looking Perceptor but I'll have to buy him just for the cassettes. It looked like that Steeljaw was tight in Blaster's chest. Does he have the same issue as the Siege cassettes, where they're slightly too big to slide in comfortably?
Tho i agree they should of done better. The blaster compatibility isent an option with mainline. If you make a blaster his casssettes haft to fit inside his chest. Same with soundwave. I think personally the backpack is ok. Perspnally i think the guns being intergrated into the cassette mode is whats compromised his look That and the appearent missing paint applications , personally they should have found a way to make his main turn so it become the front/back of the cassette. His legs need grey on them, and his wings and gun are ment to be one piece not seperste.
@PrimeVsPrime im seeing that. Definetly puts me on the fence for him. I havent got a ki blaster or ss yet. But plan to. And this guy on one hand for completion i want him, and inevitably toyhax will sticker him up. But on otherhand i wouldnt put it past hasbro to redo him in a multipack in the future.
you know what? I dont want them to completely get rid of core class figures. I would like them to be included in leader or titan class boxes to help pad them out a bit
wow, this is 10 dollars? as if core class prime and sound wave didn’t exist, might as well sell these things in packs for 10 dollars because this is just a brick of plastic.

Agreed! They fumbled the character lineup big time! We could’ve had a brand new Ejector, Wheelie, Ravage and soooo many more Bayformers
We need more Bayformers in general. Since SS86 it’s been mostly G1.

Ramhorn is going to have the second speaker.
I imagine so too!
Yet if he was like Leader Soundwave, people would've complained.
Maybe so 🤷🏼♂️
They needed to have both spindles painted at least! This entire thing used the minimal amount of paint apps! The original G1 version looked better!
I'd probably like it more if the paint apps were more symmetrical but I'm still getting it
Agreed! They should’ve painted both sides 100%!

The next megaphone acessory is SS86 Ramhorn.
I think so too!
Tho i agree they should of done better. The blaster compatibility isent an option with mainline. If you make a blaster his casssettes haft to fit inside his chest. Same with soundwave. I think personally the backpack is ok. Perspnally i think the guns being intergrated into the cassette mode is whats compromised his look
That and the appearent missing paint applications , personally they should have found a way to make his main turn so it become the front/back of the cassette. His legs need grey on them, and his wings and gun are ment to be one piece not seperste.
Yeah the figure throughout is unfortunately severely lacking paint details 😔
@PrimeVsPrime im seeing that. Definetly puts me on the fence for him. I havent got a ki blaster or ss yet. But plan to. And this guy on one hand for completion i want him, and inevitably toyhax will sticker him up. But on otherhand i wouldnt put it past hasbro to redo him in a multipack in the future.
Prime vs Prime you are the best Transformers RUclips Reviewer hands down. Keep up the good work. 👏 🏆
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏🏻🔥
Why why haven’t you done a review of the fractured friendship Orion pax and Megatron
Still want it.
Gotta round off the cassettes! 🤩
Great review PrimeVsPrime!! I hope we get Ramhorn in the very near future. Keep on being amazing.
you know what? I dont want them to completely get rid of core class figures. I would like them to be included in leader or titan class boxes to help pad them out a bit
That is exactly is gonna happen
I'm holding out hope that at some later point, we get a Autobot cassette multi pack with all four cassettes in solid plastic.
That would be awesome!
Run, Blaster! Save yourself!
They probably could’ve used the ravage mould and retooled it
Ravage is so bad tho haha! He definitely needs an update!
Watch Hasbro release a Leader Class SS86 Blaster with 3 of his cassettes much like Soundwave lol
I wouldn’t be surprised at all lol! They’ll probably make Ramhorn exclusive to that set as well! 🤣
Not a great figure but thanks for the good review. I might still begrudgingly buy him.
Thanks mate for checking it out! 🙏🏻🤩
wow, this is 10 dollars? as if core class prime and sound wave didn’t exist, might as well sell these things in packs for 10 dollars because this is just a brick of plastic.
Yeah this is quite poor for the price point. In the UK the core price has increased by a few pounds as well
hasbro has been hating on my boy blaster a lot recently
I hope they finish all of blaster and soundwave's cassettes before they retire core class.
