Please do keep doing the reverse transformation segment. It’s really appreciated to see both versions of a transformation, since there’s often some difference between the two.
I'm really impressed with that jet mode. Usually jetformers have a really undesirably kibbly mess of an underside, but Skyquake has to have one of the cleanest jet modes I've ever seen.
@@Anderwreckzz the earth rise Screamer wasn't bad either. I got the coronation pack with the pauldrons, opening hands, throne, cape and crown, same figure just with accessories and it's nice and clean in both modes with pretty much no kibble.
This guy was made this faithful to the source material because of the huge backlash on Arcee and Bulkhead. And keep doing the reverse transformation, it is such a nice touch.
I don’t think so. This guy was not made in a few months. It takes longer to be able to engineer TF toys, so I’d say it was just a coincidence that he follows the source material better than Bulk or Arcee.
"So time has made you a coward, Prime!?" Also with what you said about if they keep giving us Transformers Prime characters, I would absolutely LOVE a TFP Legacy Shockwave.
This is just a sweet figure, will be happy to snatch him up! Love the mini gun he comes with, also the slight hint of Dreadwing in the form of the sword embedded within it!
Those reverse transformations and doing it both ways are awesome and you can't imagine how much it really helps us out and we super appreciate it and all the hard work my friend
I'm a big fan of you showing both transformations. Great looking figure! I wasn't sure about him but after this I'm convinced. I need more shelves. Awesome review!!
My only complaint is his wings in robot mode being Starscream-stylized, instead of a sort of jetpack storage. But even then, he look absolutely FANTASTIC!
20:47. Find or make two thrusters for the two holes in middle of his wings and you have a jet-pack. Or his guns can double as them, just a few thoughts.
Yeah, I wish they could've worked some extra joints into the wings so they could point down for Skyquake and Dreadwing or up like they do now for the inevitable G1 Skyquake and MW Starscream repaints.
Reversing transformation, in general, can be a really handy thing to refer to when you've got a new toy, or just dug out an old toy and literally forgotten what to do with it. :)
The face looks like Tarn and I can’t unsee it. His waist rotation looks a bit weird. But definitely the best looking prime universe figure and one I’m done for getting. Awesome review!
Finally we actually get a good look at this. Thanks for taking the time to try to learn everything about the figures and pointing out all the articulation instead of rushing out reviews without mentioning most the features, like another reviewer. Even if you don’t review it first you definitely will have the most thorough of the early videos, and I appreciate that.
yep, this went from an "okay, thsi is cool but will probably get the Dreadwing repaint," to, "Yeah I want both." this thing is so, so cool, I love it, and I love he looks like a leader instead of a leader-priced voyager.
Also the instructions which come with the figures aren’t all that straight forward, it’s great that TF collectors give us both transformations so we can figure them out!
The combination with needlenose probably comes from one of the MANY possible reuses of the mold, as G1 Dreadwind and Needlenose as G1 Blackwing. There's also a pretty big list of other possible redecos: - Prime Dreadwing - Machine Wars Starscream - G1 Skyquake - G2 Dreadwing? (Needlenose as G2 Smokescreen?) - Zombie Skyquake - Cybertron Starscream? - Any other big jet transformer
It’s more the fact that we found out that he was a twin in season 2 via Dreadwing, his whole relationship with his brother and seeing them together but ultimately not seeing it felt like a missed opportunity but still cool to get those two.
I am so Ready for this guy! Been a big fan of this underrated character who got way too little screentime. Might get any redecos too, this looks like one of the best leaders in years.
The video The figure The presentation The execution of this most remarkable ditty " again " is hella flawless!!! Look keep doing what your doing !!! The majority of the transformer action figure world will " continue" to salivate in what u present!!! Ty for your continued service " Salute " ( Pay attention none to the haters for they are simply mad that they r not you ) 😂
I really hope they create a G1 colourway of this guy, that figure along with Thunderclash are so nostalgic. Although I also do remember the dreaded gold plastic of the original!
-Legacy Evolution Skyquake from the Prime Universe looks amazing. Heavily maintaining his Prime show appearance, G1ified a little, and has hints of his Decepticon Predator toy looks. The sword and machine gun are cool. 8:38 Optimus Prime: It has been awhile Skyquake. Skyquake: Optimus Prime, I haven't seen you since the Battle of Technahar. Megatron ordered me to annihilate you. -Transformation to robot to jet and back again is very involved. 13:33 Skyquake: Air superiority achieved. -Jet mode looks as awesome has his robot mode. It's sharp and aerodynamic. -Looking forward to his blue repaint as his twin brother Dreadwing, and possibly a repaint as his Decepticon Predator figure. As the tabs and evo-fusion gimmick with Needlenose may be a hint, of what else is to come with this Skyquake mold.
I can't really afford to get multiple recolor of the same mold at the leader class price point, so I have to decide do I get this, Dreadwing, G1 version, Machine Wars Starscream, or King Atlas, or do I just give in an take out a loan to get them all
Holy shit he is much better then I anticipated. The posability really sold me, butterfly, waist swivel and ab crunch on a mainline figure?!?!? Im so happy!
While I would have preferred a 1 to 1 Prime design, this is definetly the much appreciated love letter that those first three horribly failed to deliver. Love both of his modes and... oh boi... he surely have a presence! He looks majestic! Also, I appreciate seeing the transformation in both ways, it can help fully understanding how to move the parts.
I was EXTREMELY worried after seeing TFA Prowl, but this soothes me. This right here is a Generations figure. A figure that won’t clash with other designs.
Skyquake- What a figure the weapons, alt mode, and robot mode is just perfect just a big ole g1 and prime universe combination styled seeker 9.5 outta 10
This figure looks sick! I’m a Prime universe fan, and can’t wait to have this bot in my ranks. The reverse transformation segment is a keeper. Great review.
Looking at the figure I think Hasbro meant it for its G1 version but, as in the past, releases the redeco/retool first. But that doesn't change the fact that he's a great figure.
When the original dreadwing came out in g2, he came with a name dumped smokescreen(who was a jet). Hasbro is probably going to repaint needle nose into that smokescreen to combine with the inevitable dreadwing repaint.
Oh my gosh, Legacy Evolution Skyquake is so SUPERIOR! I love his Evo-Fusion gimmick with Needlenose, this gimmick does remind me to original Transformers toy, that's such a super sweet touch from Hasbro 😊. Despite Skyquake is die so quickly in Transformers Prime and become a zombie robot 🤖, however i still want to try to pick up this guy. Unlike Legacy Bulkhead, Arcee and Knock Out, this design is almost similar to original Transformers Prime toy Skyquake, that's super sweet touch for my opinion. For me Skyquake and Needlenose can become as great Decepticon partner attempt his Evo-Fusion gimmick, great video, PrimevsPrime 🤗.
Nice review. I have Skyquake on preorder and can't wait to get him. I like the Legacy Bulkhead and I think it was supposed to be a G1 version of Animated Bulkhead not Prime even though they said Prime on release probably bc of popularity. Xtransbots is making a MP version of Bulkhead that is taking queues from the Legacy one and it looks amazing with the G1 inspiration. We have APC if we want something closer to the original. I like that Hasbro is doing these G1 -esque versions and I hope one day we get a G1 style Prime and/or Cyberverse Bumblebee.
I'm fairly certain Skyquake went through a major redesign towards the end of development, and there are some clear artifacts left over from this. His elbows are mismatched, but they function identically. There's a pivoting mushroom joint near the landing gear that goes completely unused. The directions promote the idea of a solid object passing through another solid object. The back has a massive gap that sticks out behind his head. The tabs on the wings don't ever line up the way they need to. I believe that the original transformation had the canopy sliding into the cockpit space and the whole nose spinning around. This solved all of the issues I have with the figure. The ugly gap behind his head is nowhere to be seen. The wings tab into the back properly. The kicker? This concept makes the weight of the figure significantly more central and fills out his chest more, which would eliminate the need for heels, which he doesn't have. Furthermore, I believe that the redesign was done specifically to dump the accurate cockpit torso in favor of the g1 torso since the shaping of everything seems to suggest that the original plan was more screen-accurate. So Hasbro essentially gave us a worse figure because they wanted to jack themselves off to g1 some more like the last 5 years weren't enough already.
Please do keep doing the reverse transformation segment. It’s really appreciated to see both versions of a transformation, since there’s often some difference between the two.
Thanks very much for the feedback! I’ll try & implement it into future reviews :)
@@PrimeVsPrime please do! It definitely helps quite a bit!
@@PrimeVsPrime yes please!
Please include the reverse transformation in your future reviews. Very informative!
Absolutely keep doing the reverse transformation I broke one a year ago bc the car to robot was different from the robot to car
I'm really impressed with that jet mode. Usually jetformers have a really undesirably kibbly mess of an underside, but Skyquake has to have one of the cleanest jet modes I've ever seen.
The robot mode is pretty impressive too. For having most of a jet on his back, he doesn't look super kibbly or topheavy.
I agree with you guys!
(Kingdom Cyclonus has entered the chat)
@BunnyGuns they definitely had some opportunities to use that mould with rebooting to make some better seekers
@@Anderwreckzz the earth rise Screamer wasn't bad either. I got the coronation pack with the pauldrons, opening hands, throne, cape and crown, same figure just with accessories and it's nice and clean in both modes with pretty much no kibble.
This guy was made this faithful to the source material because of the huge backlash on Arcee and Bulkhead. And keep doing the reverse transformation, it is such a nice touch.
I am glad because Arcee wasn’t great in my opinion haha! & yes I’ll try too! Thanks for the feedback :)
It sucks because Bulkhead is a good out of context, but yes a poor homage to the original TFP design.
I don’t think so. This guy was not made in a few months. It takes longer to be able to engineer TF toys, so I’d say it was just a coincidence that he follows the source material better than Bulk or Arcee.
@@PrimeVsPrime "I wish it was larger and a little more substance, but it gets the job done" explain yourself
One of the most Underrated Decepticons throughout all of Transformers Prime but he's missing his Proximity Bombs.
He did die quickly.
His twin brother, Dreadwing, had those not Skyquake
He was so cool! But dreadwing was better 🤩
@@PrimeVsPrime maybe character wise, but the green always complimented this design better than blue imo
@@PrimeVsPrime and I also think that they learned there lesson about making everything g1 styled.
"So time has made you a coward, Prime!?"
Also with what you said about if they keep giving us Transformers Prime characters, I would absolutely LOVE a TFP Legacy Shockwave.
That would be so awesome! We need more Shockwave figures too!
@@PrimeVsPrime I love Shockwave and my favorite iteration is the one from Transformers Prime
I would love a tfp legacy breakdown.
@Beck Hornig me too! I'm sure there's one on the way.
Yes just yes and maybe a legacy tfp optimus prime?

Yes :D

I love Prime vs Prime reviews because he doesn't waste a word or ramble. He has a purpose and sticks to it. Great review!

They were more compact on the G1 toy, but I’m pretty sure they were big on the Prime version.

This is one of the best use of transforming joint as an actual articulation in recent years in my opinion. Good job as always!
yep, this went from an "okay, thsi is cool but will probably get the Dreadwing repaint," to, "Yeah I want both."
this thing is so, so cool, I love it, and I love he looks like a leader instead of a leader-priced voyager.
I think the reverse transformation is REALLY helpful - I'm 100% behind you keeping it in the videos please :)
Keep them reverse transformations coming. its really helpful
I actually love the reverse transformation, sometimes getting the figure back into robot can have some weird catches, so I like it
Also the instructions which come with the figures aren’t all that straight forward, it’s great that TF collectors give us both transformations so we can figure them out!

Loved the reverse transformation segment! Please keep it
Awesome mold. Can't wait for repaints!
I just received mine this morning. So far the best Legacy figure of the year.💯
It is very good! I’m glad you like it!
Best legacy leader yet!! Great review, keep up the great work!!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻
Man it brings me back good memories from Optibotimus when he does the reverse Transformation in his videos
I would just like to say your photography at the beginning of your vids is on point. I very much enjoy your action shots, keep it up!
I think the concept of SkyQuake intrigues people because he didn’t get much screen time in Prime. I hope he shows up in Earthspark.
It’s more the fact that we found out that he was a twin in season 2 via Dreadwing, his whole relationship with his brother and seeing them together but ultimately not seeing it felt like a missed opportunity but still cool to get those two.
Omg yesss, please keep doing the reverse transmations 🙏
Best Leader of Legacy YET!! Can't wait to get him and the inevitable Repaint as his twin brother Dreadwing!!! Nice review as always my friend!!
Thank you for the awesome review! Please keep doing reverse transformations
Thanks so much! I’ll do my best :)
I always appreciate when transformations are shown both ways. Also, I pre-ordered the figure before the video was half over.
I am so Ready for this guy! Been a big fan of this underrated character who got way too little screentime.
Might get any redecos too, this looks like one of the best leaders in years.
It'd be really cool if DNA designs made an upgrade kit that included a new chest piece and parts to make it look more Prime accurate
Or a bigger minigun and sword. Maybe some proximity bombs so they can easily repaint and reuse the lot when Dreadwing comes out
I'm hoping for that as well and a replacement gun and sword. Those are just way to small and flimsy.
Eh
Great review! And yes more reverse transformations!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻
I love how sleek and angular he is in that alt-mode
It’s really nice! Love the jet mode!
“Skyquake serves only one Master!”
Love the toy, love the review, loved the reverse transformation segment, do keep it up 😉
I'm excited to see Skyquake and Needlenose decoed into one of the varations.

I’m excited for this dude, especially the eventual Dreadwing. Even if I didn’t know the dude, looks badass and I desperately need more Decepticons.
Use to not lile the mold due to the bulkeyness but now seeing a whole review ima so put it on my wish list
I really hope they create a G1 colourway of this guy, that figure along with Thunderclash are so nostalgic. Although I also do remember the dreaded gold plastic of the original!
Ooooh! This could work as a good Jetfire mold!
Would be interesting to see!
Now that we have skyquake hasbro has to give us dreadwing the most honorable decepticon.
Yes! Please keep the transforming segment in! And Oh my heavens, Skyquake looks great!

The first transformers prime looking figure I’ve ever actually considered buying…… Freaking stunning. 🙌🏼
Really cant wait to get a dreadwing repaint of this guy

Just like you, I only managed to get Dreadwing. Now I can finally get his brother! Hope Vehicons are next.
I'm impressed. Definitely gonna grab this guy when he's made available.
I can see this also becoming a dramatic retool into Beast Wars Transmetals Depth Charge
looks cool, interesting transformation. Prime was amazing ( and the german VAs were surprising)
i found by not feeding the cockpit cover through it helps support the entire wing assembly and stops it from slipping down.
I'm not really a fan of the plane transformers but I'm intrigued by this guy
Man the skyquake and dreadwing design is iconic
I'm fairly certain Skyquake went through a major redesign towards the end of development, and there are some clear artifacts left over from this. His elbows are mismatched, but they function identically. There's a pivoting mushroom joint near the landing gear that goes completely unused. The directions promote the idea of a solid object passing through another solid object. The back has a massive gap that sticks out behind his head. The tabs on the wings don't ever line up the way they need to. I believe that the original transformation had the canopy sliding into the cockpit space and the whole nose spinning around. This solved all of the issues I have with the figure. The ugly gap behind his head is nowhere to be seen. The wings tab into the back properly. The kicker?

So Hasbro essentially gave us a worse figure because they wanted to jack themselves off to g1 some more like the last 5 years weren't enough already.
I love this for being a representation of two characters of the same name. The jet mode definitely is more g1 skyquake/machine wars Starscream.
OH MAN I REALLY NEED THIS GUY SO BADLY
