Something that you do, that no other reviewer does....and I appreciated it soooooooooooo much is.... You tell us the things you need to do to the figures right out of the box. Other reviewers start with the figure completely adjusted and never mention what they had to do. I literally come straight to your videos first to find this stuff out. Excellent video! Keep up the good work.
The transformation instructions and step order of this video is the best i've seen so far for this figure, even better than the Fans Toys itself. Congratulations.
Its pretty cool but I think the wings in robot mode on the XTB look better. I also think the blue flight stand is an eyesore. I would prefer it to be clear. For the price, the Targetmaster should definitely plug into the hand and the stand base should be included.
Yeah they defo should’ve included the flight stand or even a revised version of it. I have one of their flight stands and Cyclonus is on it, in a nose dive position and them side by side in alt mode would look phenomenal… I even thought of a pair of Inquisitors either side of Cyclonus would be 👌
I have to say. Mine tabs together beautifully and I really enjoyed it. The method you use makes it far easier than the official FansToys video made it out to be hahah.
Fantastic review man. The paint and the presence is wonderful. This figure gives me the serious 1986 film feel. I like it. Lastly, my copy came to me and he was missing his goatee. 😂 Thankfully there are a plethora of faces.
If they went with the Rebirth of G1 part 2, they are correct as that is exactly how Frackis ran and then transformed to jump into Scourages two hands and held him. However, there MUST be a way to mount Frackis when in his space ship mode and not underneath him. That looks bad and wrong if they cannot mount him on Scourage top front shuttle mode.
I Kno a lot of us collectors don't care, but, Frackus (Scourge's target master) was always held with 2 hands in the G1 toon or floated in the air himself...all anyone has to do is go back to the Headmaster episodes & you'll see... maybe that was a FT wink...jmt
Looks nice but...doesn't look very stable (heavy backpack), can't hold target master on either mode, no landing gear for alt mode, doesn't come with stand, articulation is below average...I'll wait until it's on sale 😂
Wrong, It's very stable in both modes. Plus, Fans Toys is shipping to all retailers a FREE new part for the target master to shipped with all previous purchases and future orders. Got mine from ToyDojo Saturday morning.
@gabrielluis12 no, I received Scourge. Fans Toys will in the near future issue out a new upgrade part for the targetmaster for free. The part will be shipped to retailers to be sent out to each past and future buyers.
@MichaelPipes101 My opinion is based on what I've seen from reviews of Paik4Life, TMReviews, and Bobby Skullface, so if your figure is VERY stable that's great 👍🏼 If FT is sending something free for Inquisitor to hold the target master is bc they did it wrong to begin with, right? It's a good looking figure, but I stand by what I said.
Looks awesome, but is it just me or is the chest a bit too big? Also the targetmaster compatibility is pure bs. I personally don't care about targetmasters, but you can tell they didn't care either. Also also, I wish they remade Cyclonus, cause the transformation ain't it chief
TM, I got 8 of these coming. 4 are already in the house courtesy of Toy Dojo and Chosen Prime. My 2 TF Source orders should be here today. All I'm waiting on, is my 2 Show-Z orders and the Squad of Scourge and The Sweeps that includes "Sweeps, Six and Seven...(Darth Vader voice) "Is complete". I was going to do the same with the X-Transbots versions but I watched your review way back when and decided to pass.
I’m sure it will sell well due to brand loyalty to FT, but I honestly don’t see much reason to get this over the XTB one. Especially when it’s more expensive.
This cost 100 dollars more than xtransbots. I don't think it is worth that much more than it. I remember in your review you said the xtransbots was to small but this is the same size maybe smaller and no mention of that. I prefer the chest and wings on xtransbots, also transformation except feet, but it is doable. Prefer the legs on fanstoys and the color a little bit.I was waiting for this but you can get the xtransbot three pack for this one figure, not sure its worth it.
The fold out for the head tabs into the waist. With that there getting shell formed is a pain in ass. Skipping it probably doesn’t hurt much and looked easier in the long run. Time stamp 40:27 Paik4life video shows it.
Great looking but feels like a bit of a miss with the stability issues, a weapon he can't hold in either mode really. At the current price I'll pass, maybe once it goes on sale.
There are no stability issues. Man, this bot is super solid. As far as the targetmaster, I can understand the complaint. By the way, Fans Toys is sending all previous and future buyers a free part upgrade for the targetmaster.
@@MichaelPipes101 Yeah some of the early reviews were showing stability issues. Seems like they might not have had the heel spurs out. But yeah the Target Master is a bummer not sure how that passed QC during the molding. At the price they're asking they better make it right.

That means a lot to me, thanks for mentioning that

This makes me very happy. Thank you!!
I love it! I just bought my 7th one today, one more and I’ll be satisfied.
😂
Damn
Probably one of FTs best lookin figure. Looks like $
Looks awesome! So weird about the target master, but I don't use them as guns, so no big deal for me. I'm glad to finally get this. Great review!
Thanks for watching
Can't wait for my copy to arrive.

The paint looks absolutely gorgeous, cant wait to see it in hand

Thanks, glad I could help
Target Master Failure... Alt mode ok.. Bot it is.. Great Review ✨️😎
Thanks
I like that flight stand you displayed with him in clear blue…
Great video. I'd been waiting to see this. But idk, I'm happy with the metallic xtb
Thanks

Great review. I am tempted to pick him up but I will wait for your vs. video
Thanks, VS is up
Been waiting for this video😮💨Target master looks so good but that gun mode look just ooph
I wouldn't even mind the gun mode if it actually worked, but the figure is awesome
For Fanstoys, it's a pretty big oversight to not be able to hold the targetmaster...
I Kno a lot of us collectors don't care, but, Frackus (Scourge's target master) was always held with 2 hands in the G1 toon or floated in the air himself...all anyone has to do is go back to the Headmaster episodes & you'll see... maybe that was a FT wink...jmt

Wow, congrats
Im happy with my X-TRANSBOTS one..... I have the new metalic version which looks identical to this one....
I have both and it’s pretty drastic, the difference in shelf presence. 2 XTBs as sweeps and the FT is my “Scourge”
I’m sure it will sell well due to brand loyalty to FT, but I honestly don’t see much reason to get this over the XTB one. Especially when it’s more expensive.

Also prefer xtransbots alt mode with landing gear gun storage on top and inside along with included stand that has storage as well.
They are not the same size actually, FT is taller
It’s not a $100 more. When metallic painted Andras came out it was $180.
Just skip the head fold out to waste tab. Makes it a lot easier he said. Lol
Did I miss something?
The fold out for the head tabs into the waist. With that there getting shell formed is a pain in ass. Skipping it probably doesn’t hurt much and looked easier in the long run. Time stamp 40:27 Paik4life video shows it.
Ah ok, it might have happened naturally as I compressed things too
@@TMReviewspossibly. Still transformed into alt mode with no issues. This guy is pretty good. I never jumped on the X Transbots release.
At minimum 220 usd.. Holy..
Great looking but feels like a bit of a miss with the stability issues, a weapon he can't hold in either mode really. At the current price I'll pass, maybe once it goes on sale.
I didn't have any stability issues. But the target master definitely can't be held
Stability issues are very exaggerated.

The issues have to do with the way they have the legs transformed, I'll be doing a reverse transformation and will show what I mean
That's a mess to transform.
