TJ, I am glad you are back. This was one of the first videos I had ever seen of yours. That was over 4 years ago and i came back to it because i am looking to expand my Beast Wars collection. These figures get harder and harder to find for a decent price with every passing day. Just wanted to say thank you and have a great 2020!!
hey tj, if you want a great figure, go for generations springer/and or sandstorm. they're both absolutely fantastic with three solid modes and minor issues. I just got mine in the mail today, very happy, got the two for 50$ together. great video as well, I think thruster is my favorite of that trio as well. I also noticed his head horn makes him look like Gigan from Godzilla, love that.
All this talk about mold use and degradation got me thinking. If these companies are putting so much stock into certain molds, wouldn't be sensible to make and archive multiple masters for the each toy. I wonder how the molds for the combiner wars figures are gonna fare by the last wave and beyond, considering repaints, retools, and shared engineering have been part of the plan since wave one. I wonder if they've take precautions for a line with so many similar options.
***** These days mold degradation isn't as much of a fear since casting a new master mold is as simple as running a computer program again. Think about the Classics Starscream mold, over 30 uses and they still got solid figures out of it.
***** Yes, around Universe 2 the seeker mold wore down, the second Starscream was the worst. But they recast it for Generations, Thundercracker there actually feels better than the previous released. As for Terrorsaur and Guiledart, older molds can't be recast like that so they tend to suffer from it. I got Terrorsaur, he felt fine to me, don't have the other one to tell how it fared though.
I suppose with modern technology they could cast these things in chocolate if they wanted to...not sure why they would but hey, who wouldn't want an assortment of dinobots for easter, They'd fall appart immediately and likely taste terrible, but the novelty would be amazing.
funny thing in a deleted scene/episode transmetal 2 dinobot did fuse with his past self that's why when rampage is destroyed while he's screaming for a minute you see the old dinobot super imposed over the transmetal 2 dinobot it's the old one taking over but that idea was dropped
Him firing a missile from his tail makes me think of this one part of Shallow Hal where Jason Alexander's character says "Do you have anything else to read? I got to fire off a missile." Lol
Is it possible to make the gash sword flip out to look just like it does in the infamous scene in the anime? If it does, please let me know, I would buy this guy just for some prank ideas I have that would involve that feature on the toy. Even if it can be done in an unconventional way by transforming to dinomode a different way than they tell you to.
kinda sorta reminds me of the drones from that one regular beast wars episode and this is not the weirdest dinobot retool i've seen hardhead is it as a pachcephalosaurus
TJOmega it would still be a cool review and since you already reviewed the mold, you could just point aout the paint differences and the different head
thunderstudent Thanks for that, i'm sure TJ stating so a couple minutes into the video wasnt enough confirmation......You didnt even watch the review did you?
Overall, the Cyborg Beasts were like TransMetals, if they had the animation style of Car Robots/RID2001

it looks like something from the 90's turok comics
So this is what happens when both dinobots 1 and 2 get busy
Fun fact: The little missile launcher can actually be removed from the tail shield
I love the ending with the missle. Only thing that would make it better is either an edited in thunder noise, or faking a black out.
I think the reason this mold hasn't been used since is due to mold degradation, if I remember right. I could be wrong, but that's what I heard

Delete the second "as well" stupid phone.
This thing is so metal it's insane. :D
love this series and love the look of all these, can we see some reviews of the RID.car robots predacons?
I think that when you fires Max-B's missile it shifted the weather for the planet. El Niño is coming...
im not sure i should be scared by the gold plastic or admire it as it isnt fragile
Mandarake may be a more affordable way to get this guy now, especially if you live in the UK like me.
I am going to try and purchase one this week but your right absolutely haven’t seen them any less than $150

We need a new dinobot, like when we got Ratrap and Rhinox in generartions

You could've blocked Max-B's missle with your hand... Also, you forgot to mention that Hellscream was BWII Starscream... :/
Quick, there's only one way to fix this, you must combine all the tail weapons into an ultamite doom weapon!
Why is this a reply on my comment?

Dirgegun having Max B missing missile all this time is so on brand with his character😂 can’t wait to get my own thurstor after all these years🙏
Is it weird that thrustor's pricing didn't shock me? I guess WFC exclusives have numb me on triple digits.
Can you please take a look at the one bw neo figure that turns into an ankylosaur of some kind? Think its called "bazooka"
Looks like a Transmetal 2 Dinobot mold, painted gold vs white. (Posted as soon as I saw Beast Mode)
my favorite team of psycho beast cons
The light brown looks more yellow to me
I really want this one and have been watching eBay for months trying to find one less than $80... really hard finding one less than a $100!!
i think he should have been put in the 2003 universe line as perceptor and have a autobot logo on the little square panel on his chest
Awesome video I love this
A Dinobot in any remold is a friend of mine. :)
Tj can you please do gigastorm and dirgegun
Thrustor, he is a cyborg raptor, how many cyborg raptors and cyborg beasts have been extinct.
i am very green with envy. this guy looks amazing.
I have an sudgestion fore nexst theme week toys with weird weapons
Obviously a counterpart to Dinobot II.
Why didn't you do the phalic-sword-in-dinomode-thing?
This Guy is Pretty Much Dinobot's Terminator Psycho Cousin
Awesome set of reviews!!! Although now I want these and I can't afford them. Damit!!!
I think it's part raptor!
Could you do a review of either/both Energon Megatron/Galavatron and Cybertron Megatron/Galvatron (Whichever version of the toy you own)
Can I hug you? cus I love your profile and user name
chase1146 Ok?
it looks like the borg has assimilated Dinobot
More like a pre transmetal
A cyborg wasp gets the missiles??? Sounds logical! :P
I see what you call brown...as a very dirty green.
I am a walking "What color is this dress?"
MadDemon64 that's daltonism
Makes a better evil cyborg clone then what we got.
Do you own a Gigastorm?
You should dedust his beast head ;)
TJ you really missed your chance to make a skit about his truly unfortunately name.
Too bad these guys are expensive because if I was able to buy these I would for sure!
Update: Today, I bought one at a local collectors store for $40, believe it or not! I still can’t believe it myself! 😱
Is that cyborg wasp thing gonna be your standard joke now?
Don't think so. It changes every time
You sure you can't review Dirgegun? Maybe he took that piece and hid it from you to get noticed? Pretty please~? ^^"
Did you do dirgegun
josh gonzalez I did TFCC Thrustinator who uses Dirgegun's mold, so doing Dirgegun would get repetitive.
Awesome, thank you great review btw
+TJOmega Do you have Dirgegun (just curious)
TJOmega it would still be a cool review and since you already reviewed the mold, you could just point aout the paint differences and the different head
OptimusPhillip Didn't watch the full video before posting, did you?
It's a retool of Dinobot
thunderstudent Thanks for that, i'm sure TJ stating so a couple minutes into the video wasnt enough confirmation......You didnt even watch the review did you?
I did, I just posted before the video finished *blushes* Well at least he found that missing missile and it didn't end up destroying reality
11:47
Its allmost like metalgreymon from digimon
TJ, do you own G1 Pointblank?
AltronT Nope. Never did get the chance to own many Targetmasters and they're expensive to get complete now.
Hey TJ,have you listened to the soundtrack of Beast Wars 2? It's fuckin' awesome! :)
He kinda look like a mutated dinobot
This should of been in the Top 5 inappropriate transformers
Why? He's not inappropriate at all.
darkblade2071 Except it's behind the legs partway down the tail.
+DetectiveBarricade yeah plus it's not that inapproiate
It a honorable mention
I came up with nick dinocop 😑
Transmetal dinobot frome wish...
lets say first
Awesome set of reviews!!! Although now I want these and I can't afford them. Damit!!!
