Thank YOU so much guys for checking out this review! Always appreciate the support🙏🏻
Yw prime
The review was not too harsh at all. The upgrade kits were not all great. Someone needs to be harsher toward Hasbro too. The Grimlock was great as the 1st release. The joints, tolerance, plastic, were all good. The subsequent dinobots just got worse, cheaper, and floppier... AS THEY INCREASED PRICES. Inexcusable products and business practice.
Yeah I will be sticking with the Nonnef kits they give you more parts for less money
8:11
Correction: There is foldable feet but its by BDT instead of DNA, look up Emgo's video of the sludge upgrade kit, but the color of the toes aren't right though.
I think it's because the sword handle is painted therefore making it thicker and thus not fitting properly. This is an issue with regular Transformers as well, such as Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus, where his missiles are painted so it doesn't fit. I had to sand off some of the paint in order to make them fit.
I always really enjoy your upgrade kit reviews, and this one is no exception! Phenomenal review as always PvP
Thank you so much mate! Your support is always appreciated! :)
@@PrimeVsPrime As always, no problem mate!
The big goofy eyes are my favorite piece of this set it just looks funny and goofy
For a fraction of the cost you could have just gone to nonnef. You get a sword, you get the knee fixers, you get a new attachment for his gun, you get a secondary gun, but most importantly of all you get brand new feet/toes that fix the very problem you described!
Agreed. I don't know why we don't see more of these "high profile" tf reviewers showcasing the nonnef Sludge upgrade kit.
@@nfcbeast because I'm willing to bet that for a lot of the high-end reviewers, not accusing this one, they get them from the companies for free.
Well, this was something that truly made my day. All the same, I can't wait for more. Happy Holidays, PrimeVsPrime.
I'm 50/50 on this set. The new joints and blast effects parts are great but everything else is mostly miss.
It fixes Sludge so it's worth it just for that
I used a nail file on the handle to remove the paint, now it fits perfectly. They made the handle a standard 5mm and then painted it, so it became thicker
The goofy Eyes are the best piece. Every time I watch the movie my brothers always notice the goofy eyes, and I do as well.
Edit : Nevermind, they scratch paint.
Really appreciate that you show the installation 👍
Review vids on upgrade kits are always fun to watch as these third party offerings give you much-needed accessories for your transformers collection.
The main dinobot I'm looking forward to is swoop because what engineering tricks do hasbro have up their sleeve with his transformation.
Swoop will be cool! Excited for him too!
I bet once all 5 are released we will see one big kit for all of them
I hope the next upgrade kit is for Velocitron Scourge so we can get his broom and dustpan
Would be interesting if Hasbro or Takara released their own upgrade kits for their own products. I feel its an untapped market. The stock version of the figure would be cheaper but its target audience is younger. While the upgrade kits cost extra but that's for the collectors.
Idk I feel like people would get mad if they’re purposely releasing unfinished figures just so they can also release an upgrade kit
Sand the sword handle, it's the paint making it so hard to peg in...and for the ratchets, some craft foam could be used to adjust those as needed...
Omg, you’re right, those toes flipping up into that big empty space fixes the garish toes ruining his undercarriage and getting rid of the dreaded hollow spaces which are a crime on leader class figures!
For me, the money is not worth it. Not if it really isn’t going to work. Obviously this “upgrade”kit isn’t an upgrade.
Ah, the best think going for this set are the flame effects. The Sludge hip and knee fixes you can do pretty well on your own. You can even use a hot water fix by stretching the plastic ratchet pieces. (I cover that on my channel) And for $20 bucks there’s a Nonnef set that covers more and gives you a better sword that fits. The rest is floor polish or Kiki’s for the joints.
I may get that Grimlock set but for the money this one falls real short. 🤗
Finally, THE SWORD IS REAAAALLLL
I love the music you use! I really want to know who made it!
prime vs prime does the lords work 🙏
I love this channel!
If DNA Design just sold bags of those shims for the ratchet joints in various sizes on their own I'd buy them, the ones that came with the Scorponok and Black Zarak kits were great and because I didn't need them for those figures, I used some of them to fix the ankles on my Titan Legacy Metroplex, but they're too big for Sludge
Emgo did a review of an upgrade kit that did let the toes fold into the body. I can't remember what it was, but I'm sure you could find the video easily enough.
BDT Studio BDT-35C Upgrade Kit has the folding toes.
Definitely going to get that set IF I decide to keep Sludge.
I have a mind to try to track down a GigaPower HQ-04R Graviter as a replacement.
A brontosaurus robot alt mode should be quite bigger than a tyrannosaurus alt mode.
Hey prime vs prime. There is an upgrade kit for this guy from that actually has fold up toes and a go better studio kit that is pretty great.
Yep I got the flipped up toes upgrade for my Sludge. It looks so much better. The dark gold color also looks better than the cheap looking original gold color.
I saw it in a couple comments. The folding toes add on kit. It can be found on eBay it will work in conjunction with the shield from the set. If that helps anybody.
Can't wait to see this new 6 figure volcanicus
I grabbed the first two Dinobot upgrades because they offered items that were invaluable in improving the base figure, passed on this set since it's just a collection of bits that no one really cares about.
4:39 you're right and they never have swords in the original g1 cartoon
If you go see emgo sludge review he's has the upgraded feet that you might like but anyways great job on the review I enjoy your videos
Without improved feet, this kit was a non starter for me. I ended up buying some 3D printed feet that fold up.
Nonnef, actually has a upgrade kit, that folds the feet.
Pretty cool
Yes they gave Sludge his googly eyes
Haha yes! Poor Sludge lol!
I’m like 90% sure the missing swords are gonna come with Swoop.
And btw my Sludge has no loose joints whatsoever, guess I lucked out
Can you check out Dino other upgrade kit for a review and legacy scourge upgrade kit to
DNA's kits for Scorpinok were outstanding which I bought. These hardly do anything to make the bots better.
I hate ratchet joints I just got the combiner wars Optimus and it’s a great figure and looks super cool but my only problem is the ratchets being stupidly tight
Did they have swords at any point in the cartoon? As far as I can tell the toys had swords but they never had them in the cartoon except maybe Snarl.
The only thing is I’m still waiting for Swoop to be in the 86 subline.
awesome video like always I might get this but I want to get that optumis prime dotm upgrade kit
The DOTM upgrade kit is absolute fire 🔥
Not feet fix, no buy. It's absolutely crazy how even for $87 total we still can't get a Sludge figure without multiple issues.
I wish I had the money and room for these dinobots! They’re great but my hubby wouldn’t go for me spending the bucks nor taking up the massive space they take up, he’s given my one dresser top since I’ve given him one dresser for football memorabilia. It works fine for deluxe, but 3 leaders? Nah…
I have seen someone reveiwing an upgrade kit for those feet that do fold up.
Very nice upgrade kit
Overall it’s not too bad!
They should have covered up the red in dinosaur mode too. He shouldn’t be red there.
The only thing I find cool in this upgrade kit are those blast effects but it makes no sense paying $30 for 3 of those...
Those dangling robot toes were probably the worst crime Hasbro ever made on their figures and it's mindboggling to me DNA couldn't figure out they should cash in on it by making foldable robot toes (some really good upgrade kits are already available at ebay). To match that ridiculousness, nobody at DNA was able to figure out they could actually make a bigger cover and then add the tab on it, if they really thought they should preserve the worst weapon storage slot ever!
I'm 100% sure Hasbro made that gun storage point just to mask the dangling robot toes in promo pictures.
When you take everything into account, this shouldn't be called upgrade kit as it doesn't really upgrade anything, other than ratchets which can be fixed with stuff everybody have at home... I did it on my copy.
On top of all of the issues, not only they couldn't match even the paint on that "googly eyes" piece, tolerance on it is so bad it will actually scratch the paint?! Give me a f$%&ing break!
I really want to see all of these combine together just like the legacy dinoking
I hope SS Grimlock will be reissued maybe even in G2 colors
That’s a great idea!
I wasn't gonna purchase these fixes, but wanted to let you know Showzstore is already SOLD OUT for this kit! That doesn't look good to give a link to a store for the items and they are already sold out of it!
It sold out a few hours after the review 🤷🏼♂️
Oh this kit is an easy pass. I was able to fix the hip and knees with thin strips of rubberband wedged in the gap of those teeth in the joints. None of these pieces actually upgrade the figure. DNA Designs is getting lazy lately. Only Grimlocks upgrade is pretty good.
They aren't mechtech ports. That was what only used for tf dotm and prime. For everything since siege they are C.O.M.B.A.T ports or 5mm ports.
This cool video primevsprime
Thank you very much!
So Awesome
i wonder if anyone has suggested Nonef Sludge Upgrade, that does include feet with folding toes.
Are you getting the Motormaster/Menasor Upgrade kit?
So the figure has tons of QC issues and so does the upgrade kit
I just want the blast effects.
Im still debating on if i should get it or not i love the blast effects but for 25 dollars? I found 3d printed swords on ebay i already bought them for grimlock and slug ill probably go ahead and just get the sword for sludge from ebay too way cheaper only $5
By the way sludge was bashed on the back not the head 😂
Can u review the DNA Design DK-35 Studio Series 54 2007 Movie Megatron upgrade kit if that works for you once it comes out
Of course mate :) I’m actually very excited for that one
Are these gunna be able to combine?
good
Devastator hits him in the back not the head in Transformers: The Movie.
Hey primevsprime transformers earthspark is tomorrow
Primevsprime What song is it that you're using in this video?
I think Patriot Prime has an upgrade for his feet
To go up like that
Oh cool! I’ll check it out! Thank you :)
@@PrimeVsPrime I hope that it'll fix the legs to fill the gap.
Instead of cutting the handle in half, why not just shave it down a bit?
Seriously bro, every 5mm port is not a mech-tech port. Only the hexagonal ones are.
Hey primevsprime how old are you
They missed out on the feet.
Prime will you back the haslab deathsaurus project?
Yes mate! Will you?
@@PrimeVsPrime yeah I will.
10:35 did you cut because you laugh
Upgrades kit made them look more like masterpiece. It's very cool! But just like Slug, Sludge has a poor upgrade.
58: What is the name of the song
Não me lembro desses olhos aparecerem no filme
Kind of an L on DNA’s part, I mean you have a 3d printed kit that has foldable toes but not the prestigious DNA design. Kind of a fall off from the quality of their early kits
DNA DESIGN IS FOLLOWING IN HASBRO'S FOOTSTEPS. LESS PLASTIC BUT MORE PRICEY.
So singles day is upon is. Are the normaltrash at tfworld done whining about people in the showZ thread asking for clarification about the store's discount policy now?
Yes you're being very harsh on this kit. The reason they didn't add feet upgrade is because other 3rd party companies beat them too it. So it would be a waste of plastic to add the feet upgrade with the very likely hood people bought the other feet upgrade. The under belly filler fits very and doesn't get the way of the feet upgrades. A MUST buy.
Wtf were they thinking with those eyes? Lol
$32 for all of this is not worth it, plus the fact some of the pieces don't make it any better than before.
I never understood why the dinobots always had crystal looking swords
If Hasblow keeps going the cheap route and give us floppy, empty/gaped, overpriced figures, I'm quitting the line and only buy 3rd party bots.
None of the DNA "upgrade" kits I've seen today are truly enhancing the Dinobots, truly DNA missed it here... they all suck
Nonnef made new feet with hinged toes
So after watching this whole video, I’m definitely NOT convinced this is an “upgrade” kit. Many, many different better kits on eBay. Only thing cool are the blast effects, why waste MORE money on these plastic pieces of crap? It is what it is. 🤷🏽♂️
Honestly, this kit is way too expensive and its not great. Nonnef did a much better kit and waaay cheaper.
$32 for this lol good joke
Meh, DNA used to be one of the good ones. Lately they seem to be going the Hasbro way; lazy and greedy.
First!
Thanks for always being so supportive mate! Much appreciated!
Lazy you buying stealed figures
primero
Super fast!
the ONLY problem with mine was the right knee
