When I was a kid living in England in the 1980s, Swoop wasn’t available to purchase with the other G1 Dinobots, so seeing him in any form now, is a must-have for me.
Ouch! You have my condolences. Vintage G1 Swoop was my favorite dinobot growing up. I'm glad this gives you a way to enjoy this character vicariously through this figure.
Absolutely love that you put up the character sketch for comparison. Please keep doing that when it can be done. Thanks for all the awesome vids, sir!!
That shoulder tilt to give the wings their "swoop" is a really nice touch. Good job, Hasbro. If the chest tabbed in better in bot mode, it'd be perfect.
He looks really good, I can't wait for BBTS to get him in stock. And as soon as I get Swoop here in the mail, Hasbro will announce G1-toy-accurate redecos for all of the Dinobots, thus making me double (or quadruple in Grimlock's case) dip on all of them, which I will do because I have a weakness and it's G1-toy/Marvel comic redecos of modern figures.
He does look good. I do agree that they could’ve filled the hallow parts since he’s smaller/shorter than the other Dinobots. Two other things that annoy me a little are that they could’ve also included the swords for Slag and Sludge. The last thing is they managed to used gold paint for all Dinos, except that Snarl received that awful yellow for his head and limbs. Still a great set of Dinobots.
Great review and Yes Finally Swoop is now in the collection! 😃Thanks for showing the head transformation from dino to bot again, that was the aha duh moment for me, lol.
I got mine yesterday and I was so extremely excited I was dancing this was a long time waiting for them to do Swoop I have all the Dinobots except for Grimlock
I love it! I can't wait to get my hands on this figure. The vintage G1 toy was one of my most favorite toys growing up. Unfortunately I'm still missing the SS86 Snarl too. That's the bad part Swoop. LOL
Hi emgo, you’re my go to reviewer and have been since I started collecting in 2019. I think one thing you and all other reviewers should begin doing for all screen based designs is adding reference images for figures. I think now especially since robot modes are a priority for figure designs, a reference to the screen would be super helpful for us collectors to gauge the value of a figure to us. If it’s not too much work for you
This version of Swoop give more than a passing resemblance to a Decepticon seeker in robot mode. If you tab his cannons into hi arms he rally does look like a seeker
Now that the team is complete and the molds are set, some genius out there has to go and design an upgrade kit which will combine all 5 figures in 86 Volcanicus. Print all the parts you need like new connector pieces, joints, and a head, but this MUST happen.
2 complaints, 1, the bot toes are tiny and 2, that chest not being able to tab in anywhere in bot mode. Otherwise this is one great figure! I can't wait to get him. He was my favorite dinobot growing up!
About the chest not locking, Mine locks in place quite nicely. Not sure if it's a trick or it just needs a slight bit of force to get it to stay in place.
A lot of reviewers are doing Senior Swoopy here, now. Has he started shipping early ... as mine still has a release date of August 7th (For the UK at least)?
I’ve pretty much given up on collecting these transformers. I dunno what the problem is, but it’s pretty much impossible to find them in stores anymore. I just found snarl this past Saturday at target. The only one they had. Hasn’t he been out and gone for about a year? And he just randomly shows up. I’ll get swoop if I see him but I’m not going out of my way and searching everyday. It’s a waste of time. I could buy them online but that takes the fun out of getting them. Finding them in stores brings back the memories of the excitement of finding them when I was a kid. That’s kind of the point of collecting them. I’ve managed to find more of them than I had when I was a kid. But we missed an entire wave or 2 around here. Sunstreaker and trailbreaker waves were nowhere to be found around me. That’s when it started getting hard to find them. I still can’t figure how a random snarl showed up. I can’t find any sign of gears. The shelves are full of figures no one wants. It makes no sense.
@@antiseize11 yea, i preordered swoop there and CMDstore canada had him up for sale and my preorder still hasnt shown up, so i said f it, cancelled my preorder and got the other one.. Im still waiting on my beachcomber.,
Could you maybe take a pic of POTP Slash with them and post it to the community? I'd do it myself, but unfortunately I cannot currently afford these figures
I unfortunately don't have 86 grimlock I have the shattered glass version and as I call it the g2 version aka Miami vice grimlock. And I have all the other dinobots. I may get the reissue 86 grimlock when it comes out in 2025 only if I don't have anything coming in that month
I got my swoop today and decided to watch this video because I noticed the chest wasn't locked in and thought I missed a tab. Now I know there is no tab. 😢
Great video as always,but Embgo did you ever do Nonnef's Paddles conversion set on a extra Sludge? He's a pretty awesome figure that Toyhax made decals for it. I'm hoping to force Hasbro to finally give us our missing Dino buddies some recognition cause we the fans love these Dino mighty characters. Thank you, god bless, and have a great week!
Preordered mine as soon as BBTS dropped pre-orders. I cannot wait to have all the Dinobots. Wishful thinking for a Grimlock reissue like they did for Slag.
My beak gets in the way of my waist...what? not clipping chest is unfortunate but the figure is very cool overall. I can't wait to get him. I'm still trying to get Snarl. Swoop does mouth blooshing after eating bad bird seed.
Debating on getting this guy or not. Got the fansproject Volar awhile back n I think he fits pretty well in with the rest of the dinobots. Little bit shorter but that said he looks wicked good and he's a based on a smaller dino as is. But then, the SS86 completionist in me screams GET HIM! Only one I dont have is magnus n probably never will cuz I ain't paying $180 for it.
Now we wait for 2025 for SS86 Constructions/Devastator to match up against the SS86 Dinobots!
Devastator always one of my favorites
Then the Dinobots and Devastator combine to form: Wallet Destroyer!
😂😂😂😂@@speculative
It took us a few years, but the gang is finally all here.
Now for another half decade of waiting for the Age of Extinction Dinobots 😂
Honestly I'd settle just for a voyager Slug at this point lol
When I was a kid living in England in the 1980s, Swoop wasn’t available to purchase with the other G1 Dinobots, so seeing him in any form now, is a must-have for me.
Ouch! You have my condolences. Vintage G1 Swoop was my favorite dinobot growing up. I'm glad this gives you a way to enjoy this character vicariously through this figure.
Yep i remember that i had all the other dinobots except for swoop
I honestly figured it would have been Slaa... I mean Slug ... 😂
Great looking figure, but poor Swoop. Despite having the advantage of attacking from above, he always got blown outta the sky in the show and movie.
Absolutely love that you put up the character sketch for comparison.
Please keep doing that when it can be done.
Thanks for all the awesome vids, sir!!

I got the notification email from them today that he'll be in stock soon!
Me too! @@JasonX0659
You know what I say to that: Me swoop no see nothing
I also expect them to do G2 colours so we can finally get all of them made.
Tell Swoop good part! Tell Swoop good part again!
Love the skits and detailed transformation, big man, thank you!!
Swoop! There it is!
For some reason I was waiting for the intro to be, "Swoop! There it is!" 😅
Wish he came with a stand.
Same here.
He does look good. I do agree that they could’ve filled the hallow parts since he’s smaller/shorter than the other Dinobots. Two other things that annoy me a little are that they could’ve also included the swords for Slag and Sludge. The last thing is they managed to used gold paint for all Dinos, except that Snarl received that awful yellow for his head and limbs. Still a great set of Dinobots.
Swoop looks good and Detailed
Finally the Studio Series 86 Dinobots is completed.
Great review and Yes Finally Swoop is now in the collection! 😃Thanks for showing the head transformation from dino to bot again, that was the aha duh moment for me, lol.
I got mine yesterday and I was so extremely excited I was dancing this was a long time waiting for them to do Swoop I have all the Dinobots except for Grimlock
I know this isn’t a model train channel (unless astrotrain is involved) but the rubber tipped rockets just makes me think of the Lionel minuteman car
Giant flying dinosaur with a pair of TINY CHICKEN FEET/claws😂😂😂
I just ordered him today and will be getting him on Sunday. I'm so excited.
Swoop's bloosh is suffering from a little bit of Projectile Dysfunction!
I think a flight stand would have been a nice addition
Awesome. So awesome
Still don’t understand why Snarl is the only one with the different colour (not gold for his head but yellow), just looks out of place of the set.
I love it! I can't wait to get my hands on this figure. The vintage G1 toy was one of my most favorite toys growing up. Unfortunately I'm still missing the SS86 Snarl too. That's the bad part Swoop. LOL
This is it fellas…. The last one is finally here. 😢
hey now we can get the rest of the aoe dinos (and probably toy decos of this set)
I looked for him online for awhile. He was sold out most places. I found him at BBTS and got a preorder in.
Wonderful memories of the past.
Thank you.

The chest opens that way so you can give him the matrix - Swoopimus Prime
Arise, Swooptimus Prime.
@emgo316 Swoop whispers "This is good part"
I can only assume the missile tips are soft to minimize damage in the event some shoves one of both of the missile launchers up their nose.
This version of Swoop give more than a passing resemblance to a Decepticon seeker in robot mode. If you tab his cannons into hi arms he rally does look like a seeker

G1 Grimlock:"Swoop, My fellow Dinobot!"
Earthspark Grimlock:"Not on My watch!"
Swoop: Yay, Me Swoop get a double Blooosh!
Amazon needs to hurry up and ship my Swoop !
Swoop is one of my favorite dino bots,defenitely picking this one up.
2 complaints, 1, the bot toes are tiny and 2, that chest not being able to tab in anywhere in bot mode. Otherwise this is one great figure! I can't wait to get him. He was my favorite dinobot growing up!
Soap looks so cool and I'll be getting him soon
Have mine on pre, still waiting for him.
Great vid man.
I love how hasbro keeps moving towards cartoon accuracy in chug stuff.
Accuracy is the whole point of Studio Series and its sublines
About the chest not locking, Mine locks in place quite nicely. Not sure if it's a trick or it just needs a slight bit of force to get it to stay in place.
Aw Emgo I'm disappointed you didn't give us a Big ole triple Lord Swoopington Dino mode Blooosh!!
Don’t be greedy!
Just literally got mine. 👍🏼
Got the notif this time 😎
I JUST GOT MINE TODAY I'M SO EXCITED! I WAITED TO WATCH THIS VIDEO UNTIL I HAD MY OWN SWOOP IN MY OWN HANDS!!!!!
He's Mary Poppins y'all!
I'm still waiting for my swoop to arrive
Can’t wait to get my hands on this guy, looks so good
Awesome review as always I also can’t wait for BBTS to get him in stock, you sound like you’re in a bad mood though Lol
I don’t know what you think you’re hearing 😂😂
Me: *watches Emgo Freakin Geek Review. Leaves Swoop in box.
A lot of reviewers are doing Senior Swoopy here, now.
Has he started shipping early ... as mine still has a release date of August 7th (For the UK at least)?

I hope they also release a red "G1 toy" color inspired version of Swoop
I missed out on 86 Grimlock and I’m really hoping he gets a reissue of some kind.
Going to pick up Swoop while I can!
He will next year
The feet are a bit loose in robot mode on mine.
Im waiting on my swoop to come from big bad toy store... but i noticed BBTS is pretty slow to release anything these days.
Thats why I rarely shop with them, they take forever on some stuff
@@antiseize11 yea, i preordered swoop there and CMDstore canada had him up for sale and my preorder still hasnt shown up, so i said f it, cancelled my preorder and got the other one.. Im still waiting on my beachcomber.,
Dual BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHES?!?!?
...best Swoop, ever.
Could you maybe take a pic of POTP Slash with them and post it to the community?
I'd do it myself, but unfortunately I cannot currently afford these figures
Swoop is Emgo's favorite leader class Dinobot
Do you have any good recommendations for a good flight stand to us for him? I have heard the stand with MP Tracks works ok
Will you get comic edition Grimlock for the rest of the swords?
This is the most critical I've heard Em in a while.. a bit concerning but I'll be completing the Dinos regardless.
Surprised Divebomb got a leader class as he usually the smallest member, was expecting a voyager
I unfortunately don't have 86 grimlock I have the shattered glass version and as I call it the g2 version aka Miami vice grimlock. And I have all the other dinobots. I may get the reissue 86 grimlock when it comes out in 2025 only if I don't have anything coming in that month
Hey, hey... My noggin is up here 😂.
LORD SWOOPINGTON!!!!🎉😂❤
I got my swoop today and decided to watch this video because I noticed the chest wasn't locked in and thought I missed a tab. Now I know there is no tab. 😢
This, in my estimation, is a good sign.
You'd think they'd have the chest peg into the dino head
Oh man, why doesn't the red stripe on the leg continue down the ankle?! 🤦♂
Most likely would have rubbed away over time since that area have to fold into the back of the legs
Really love Swoop
Love the alt mode overbite. 😬
Oh look, a REAL Leader class figure in 2024
Great video as always,but Embgo did you ever do Nonnef's Paddles conversion set on a extra Sludge? He's a pretty awesome figure that Toyhax made decals for it.
I'm hoping to force Hasbro to finally give us our missing Dino buddies some recognition cause we the fans love these Dino mighty characters.
Thank you, god bless, and have a great week!
Preordered mine as soon as BBTS dropped pre-orders. I cannot wait to have all the Dinobots. Wishful thinking for a Grimlock reissue like they did for Slag.
They will, according to leaks, will rerelease Grimlock next year
It's not a leak. They said on the Hasbro Pulse channel that Grimlock will get re-released like next year I think.
@@jdciii28 It was leaked months ago before they officially announced it
well now I need this one
I don't know much about dinosaurs but someone tell me is Swoop's dino mode scaled well with a 18 wheeler truck?
Cool
Good part! Tell Swoop good part!
F man articulate the fingers!
Missing Link Dinobots would be so awesome!
My beak gets in the way of my waist...what? not clipping chest is unfortunate but the figure is very cool overall. I can't wait to get him. I'm still trying to get Snarl. Swoop does mouth blooshing after eating bad bird seed.
This is a Last studio series leader class dinobots from 1986 Movie.
Am still waiting for the rest of the age of extinction Dinobots in studio series.
Is studio series your favorite line
So there is a Swoop Thoop
Debating on getting this guy or not. Got the fansproject Volar awhile back n I think he fits pretty well in with the rest of the dinobots. Little bit shorter but that said he looks wicked good and he's a based on a smaller dino as is. But then, the SS86 completionist in me screams GET HIM! Only one I dont have is magnus n probably never will cuz I ain't paying $180 for it.
C’mon, Hasbro Pulse. Ship them mfs out!!!!!
If building Dinobots is so simple how come you haven't build any like Wheeljack, Ratchet & Hound have?
If grimlock wasn't 200 dollars i would love to buy them all and put them next to my G1 versions
It's great to have this figure "Swoop" down into the SS86 Dinobots to complete the team.
No power of the primes comparison?
… no. You know the answer 😂
cool
Is it possible to form Volcanicus
No
Dinobots didn't originally combine
Leader class combiner dinobots when? LOL
probably never
Do shattered glass reviews
I’m not interested in shattered glass. Sorry.
You are to good
Okay, but can Hasbro do it all the Dinobots again, but in G2 colors? Asking for a friend.
We got a G2 Grimlock coming, not the toxitron collection repaint
A unbroken g1 wooow
Me swoop no see nothing
