Getting a lot of people COMPLETELY MISSING or just not listening to the beginning of the video and then commenting "why are blackouts hands like that" or "why no bonecrusher or brawl"....please watch the video before commenting. Please
An advantage of the pack is that it’s good for new fans like me, who want a bunch of movie decepticons without having to shell out obscene prices on the aftermarket.
This is the exact reason why I got both this and the autobot multipack when they came out. In my case, it’s less of a new fan and more of someone who got into the figure collecting schtick later than most.
First off, welcome to this painfully fun hobby, and second me too! I hated Studio Series at first because every figure I got broke but now, I'm like a total Shill for this line. (I have yet to get a terrible figure again but I will let you know when I do and which one to avoid.)
It’s also kinda funny that Bonecrusher and Brawl were omitted from this set, because it reminds me of the 2007 Transformers movie game. You’re only allowed to play as Megatron, Starscream, Blackout, Barricade, and Scorponok (who, coincidentally, are the only Decepticons in this set). Bonecrusher and Brawl are only NPCs in the game. 😂 And Frenzy is just…….. nowhere in sight. Except the cutscenes.
@@maxrodriguez889 oh they were all over the trailers and not to mention in the game that came out before the movie did too, props if you managed to avoid mowing before they show up, maybe that’s why no one I talk to that’s not a hardcore transformers person ever know who I’m talking about when I say their names
It’s also strange that megatron doesn’t have any of his copper highlights, I know that was a premium figure but considering they actually did change stuff for him and barricade in this set, it just feels weird
Just like the autobot set with Ironhide, it’s almost funny seeing prices for Blackout dipping after the box set was released because some of the aftermarket prices I’ve seen for that big boy exceeded the msrp of this set
I love that Barricade paint job, it was what kept me from buying the original figure. Shame its not being sold on its own, because Im not about to buy an entire pack for one delux.
From what I hear, they regularly make the full mold everytime and then recycle the leftover plastic like alternate heads and sprew for other figures. Most likely to reduce costs and not have to make the assembly method different, they just opted to do the original version of Blackout. And besides, Grindor is still pretty cheap on certain sites like BBTS and around here he shelfwarmed for a good year at a local walmart which I snagged ofc.
I still have the original barricade and I have a few things to say. The hood fell off for mine but I'm pretty sure I was being to rough since I was young when I got it. when transforming it I recommend pegging the arms into the legs then into the roof. Finally my old copy is so damn flimsy, like the arms literally have no traction on the ball joint at all, and the hips and feet are like wet noodles
I myself got myself an orginal human alliance barricade, and frenzy. Now that, is an amazing figure. The mpm barricade is more accurate in robot mode, BUT it doesn't feature an internal frenzy and a full interior, pluss opening doors.
It doesn’t help where the hoods ball joint connects is made of clear plastic cus that’s hasbros big friend. Cus that cracked and broke on me sadly as well. Imma see if I can find this barricade seperate cus my god the paint is so much superior
I'm pretty sure its more like a 15-20 dollar cost difference. Maybe the price of the 15th anniversary pack was lower because I pre-ordered it, but in the US, I got it for $115 dollars, while this Decepticon pack is $150 in comparison. Maybe I'm tripping and the 15th anniversary pack was more expensive but thats what I remember. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t know why, but it just feels odd seeing the Megatron missing those few spots of silver paint; it looks mostly identical, but slightly off. But yeah, I love that Megatron figure; I think the RoTF chest helps the design so much, as well as the proportions…I also got it for like $20USD a while back, no weapon though but I didn’t care about that anyway.
Answer for not including bone crusher and brawl: when you think of LA deceptions, those two are the last you think of. Be real. The rest are actually relevant to the story in some capacity.
I pre-ordered this set the hour that it went live on Amazon. I got it like 2 weeks ago,and it is an amazing 4-pack. I wanted it for mainly Starscream since I missed out on the original release, but the other figures are great, too. I did swap Blackout's and Grindor's forearms (and got rid of the tree sap paint on Grindor) so that Blackout would have the articulated hands (until I can track down the DNA upgrade kit).I care more about Blackout than Grindor, anyway. Repainted all of them to better match their movie looks, and hollowed out he plastic in between the fingers of Megatron to give a more realistic look. Overall, definitely worth the $160.
As an adult collector (and a fan of the movie), with a minimal collection of other Transformers, I was very happy to pick this set up from Amazon today. They're having a deal right now - the whole set for only $100! That's a pretty insane bargain; I wonder how it's even possible. These look to be very high quality, beautifully painted, and visually appealing. So excited to get to try them out and flesh out my collection further.
Watching this video made me realize that i was transforming Megatron's shoulders wrong. I was leaving them in the same position they were in in robot mode. Folding them down has made the alt mode so much cleaner. Guess thats what i get when i go by eye transforming him for the past two years lol
Never knew that people considered Barricade's transformation annoying. I got it when I was younger, and I genuinely enjoyed it. Never had any issues of things not tabbing together in the vehicle, and I'm a huge fan of how all four wheels easily touch the ground without any extra fiddling (*cough SS49
The thing is that they don't know how to really transform it. It frustrates me because i can help. If you can't see what's going on you're doing it wrong. You can do the roof last. There's many pegs you gotta get done inside that you can't see. If you let the roof piece with the cop lights get in your way you can see how you can peg the arms in the legs better and not just squeeze in blindness hoping everything fits. Knowing little bits like that can make a figure be a 6/10 to a 9/10 real quick
I feel like it would have made more sense to put brawl in the pack instead of barricade since starscream, brawl, blackout, and megatron all show up in the mission city fight. And they could have later done a two pack with Bonecrusher and barricade as the highway pack
If I had to guess they are probably going to put brawl and bone crusher in the revenge of the fallen box set, because they were in that movie, but I like the idea of a 2 pact released later
The bayverse decepticons are awesome, I do wish they would be used more often and not killed off in the first movie. Also, they could’ve added one of the other two decepticons in the set.
They should take some clues from Sideways if they ever go back and remake Barricade for a future Dark of The Moon release or something. That figure was surprisingly tight, especially for a character that shows up for 5 seconds and gets killed off _in alt mode._
10:32 That's a flaw in the design... For some reason, the propellers like to be in an arrangement of 2 - 4; 2 in the left side and 4 in the right one (looking from the back) You need to play with the hinches of each propeller to get rid of that "compression" issue
The Megatron mold definetly could have had a waist swivel, ther is enough clearance between the torso parts and the hips to put at least a mushroom peg in there, just adding that joint would have done wonders and most people wouldnt complain
Starscream’s legs become the back of the jet and incorporating more into the back is just cluttering the already junked up jet. And he’s pretty clean already And barricade’s thighs become the ports to where his biceps tab into the car mode so a literal thigh swivel will make his transformation even worse to do And those are my favorite of the movie 1 cons and bots
I understand why Bonecrusher isn't included in the set, but going by that same logic a two pack with him and brawl could probably not happen next year since they only have an MP Brawl left to do unless they do a Bumblebee/ROTB character.
i feel like all the years 1 (and like half of the year 2) Studio Series need a second go, especially Grimlock, cuz like, he's going to be so radically different from the other Dinobots who won't come out until at least 2025
The four pack is cool, except hasbro still hasn't made frenzy yet because there is still no core class studio series figure for him yet because they already made all the other decepticons from the 2007 movie into studio series. Also, it's kind of weird that barricade is in this pack even though he disappeared during the final battle in Mission City in the movie.
I feel like it would have been a better idea if they would have subbed brawl with blackout. I understand why they want to include blackout because of his importance but we recently got the very similar grindor mold and the MP blackout.
The autobot pack took a while to sell out on Amazon when I got it last year around December and if Hasbro learned anything and decided to act on it, this pack should be in stock longer at least.
It’s not because of scorpanock because black puts arms are on the sides of the copter and then the back of the copter is when’s scopanock gose so it’s not him
The biggest buy incentive here for me would be the Megatron, and Blackout. Never had the original Megatron, and still only have the first run voyager which has not aged all that well. Starscream looks decent and proportioned better than the ROTF voyager which I feel is still decent for how old it is. Barricade is give or take at the robot mode looks fantastic whereas the original, and DOTM release had a much cleaner police car mode. As for Bone Crusher, and Brawl while I have the original deluxe versions still holding out for better SS Leader class releases in a couple of years.
I won't lie, I know you said the barricade toy feels a little weird when it comes to making it look dynamic.. best believe the issue is also present on the masterpiece, shame because i love the mpm toy SO MUCH but sometimes its a little iffy when it comes to makking good looking poses also what the hell out of all the stuff they had to cut from mpm to studio series WHY WAS THE HAND TRANSFORMATION REMOVED it makes the hands disgustingly innacurate, they found a solution for sideways but not barricade :( so i do agree figure definitely needs a refresh
How is the grill for the barricade? I have the ss barricade from the buzzworthy 2 pack and, because its rubber, it just looooooves to sick out forward. does this one fix that problem? because if it does, I have more of a reason to get this set.
I got my studio series Barricade from the buzzworthy 2-pack with clunker Bumblebee, and the clear socket joint on his back got a huge crack in it on only the 2nd or 3rd time transforming him.
I would get the set for Blackout, Megatron and Starscream because I missed out on those when they released but as someone who owns the SS Barricade mold is one of the most infuriating figures to transform seconds to Earthrise Arcee, the thing doesn’t want to stay together at all and the thing breaks if you try to force! I was honestly expecting that to be a good figure but for it to lose to a figure that came out in 2009 is honestly sad because of the engine and quality we have today
Wow, Bonecrusher is sought after? I stopped collecting Studio Series for a while now so I was surprised. I know Shockwave is as well but my copy has deficient joints, loose in other words, so my copy is kind of disappointing but I’m pretty sure I can do some techniques to mitigate that. Yeah I like Barricade from this series but godDAMN is it such a pain to transform him and he’s pretty fiddely. I do have Grindor but not Blackout but I don’t care, and I have movie 1 SS Megatron Megatron anyway. I also got Brawl already and he was my second SS figure ever (Starscream was my first) so yeah…kinda surprised to see this series is still going strong. Man do I wish I got the War for Cybertron Gamer Edition Optimus when I had the chance, but oh well…
So I ended up passing on this set after already have Blackout and Starscream, and partially because I’m going for the MPM decepticons, but I also got the Autobot one and I would’ve only gotten the set for Brawl who’s not present here
Personally while I’m sad Bonecrusher got left out because his studio series figure is AMAZING, brawl I can love without… his original deluxe back in 2007 was AMAZING but the studio series remake always felt so… watered down. Way too thin, the head looks way too big, and he just never looked quite right to me. All the other cons look perfect to me, especially Starscream but Brawl got done dirty in the studio series line.
I got the buzzworthy barricade and clunker bumblebee 2 pack and I absolutely loved the bumblebee but I did not like how spindly barricade was and I’m hoping to get this pack for Christmas so I’m hoping I have a better time with barricade
He literally explained why in the video: hasbro wanted to keep the price the same as the autobot 5-pack. If they would’ve added both boncrusher and brawl n this set, it would have costed over $200 for all six of them… which would’ve been harder to sell, especially considering there were already two Bonecrusher figures being sold at the same time.
The earlier version of this Barricade mold had the quote on the rear fenders, I wonder if it was just budgeting, I really hope so, but with the state of things I could see why having the word “enslave” on a cop car might be a little too close to home
It is my impression, or this Decepticon pack looks WAY BETTER than the Autobots one? Autobots look too tiny and less detailed/cool, compared to the Decepticons. Somehow, Autobots look kinda cheap, too.
Barricade is a figure that you have to transform a bit differently from the instructions. I used to have his elbows bent with the doors folded out so I can get the arms to tab in better. I love studio series but sometimes the instructions do not help
I still own the Barricade from the two pack it came with Clunker Bee. It looks the same as the first studio series Barricade, minus it has the "To punish & to enslave" quote not applied on, the windows are clear clear & most areas aren't black like on this Barricade from the 4 pack. & yes... The ball joint on the front window loves to shatter, since on mine. It's cracked. I will give this Barricade from the 4 pack credit for darker windows, a better painted head & the police numbers on the chest area.
can't speak to actually having the SS '07 megs, but honestly not a fan of the look. though that's coming from someone someone who has MPM '07 megs (or atleast a KO variant)
You mistransformed the propellers In robot mode. You're supposed to get them closer together. That way when you peg Scorponok on the back his legs wrap around the 2 inner propellers and fix the whole thing in place so it doesn't move
I'm 3 minutes into the video listening to ThatToyGuy give his explanation/hypothesis on why Bonecrusher and Brawl aren't in the set. I can somewhat agree with the explanation for Bonecrusher, though I doubt releasing the SS figure would affect the sale of the MPM. But Brawl is straight up disrespect. Guy literally carried the Mission City battle single handedly and was essentially the mini boss before Megatron. Barricade fucked off before the battle even began. There is no reason he should be in the box set.
@@ThatToyGuy Thank you for the reply. I agree with your explanation regarding the exclusion of the Bonecrusher and Brawl. My point regarding Brawl was because he was a bigger threat in the 07 film whereas Barricade (and even Starscream) were only there for the ride. My main frustration is more aimed at Hasbro because I believe they often fumble the bag about as often as they produce actual bangers with their releases.
From my experience with barricade, my copy is a little annoying to get together, but once you do, he stays together, so that might differ from copy to copy. 😅
Getting a lot of people COMPLETELY MISSING or just not listening to the beginning of the video and then commenting "why are blackouts hands like that" or "why no bonecrusher or brawl"....please watch the video before commenting. Please

I actually did watch the video, I said that as a joke ☝️🤓
the movie came out in 2007 not in 2008, so it was 16 years ago so even hasbro got it wrong :\
I feel so old. I saw the original cartoon movie in 1986.
An advantage of the pack is that it’s good for new fans like me, who want a bunch of movie decepticons without having to shell out obscene prices on the aftermarket.

It’s also strange that megatron doesn’t have any of his copper highlights, I know that was a premium figure but considering they actually did change stuff for him and barricade in this set, it just feels weird
It's probably since the paint budget is a lot less since on most box sets the paint is skipped in areas
The Baiwei Version Has It
"Its grindin time >:)"- grindor, revenge of the fallen, 2009
Wait a minute that's irrelevant
Nevermind
"It's megatroning time >:)" -megatron after being resurrected in revenge of the fallen, 2009
Just like the autobot set with Ironhide, it’s almost funny seeing prices for Blackout dipping after the box set was released because some of the aftermarket prices I’ve seen for that big boy exceeded the msrp of this set
Scalpers and resellers are scum
Where are you finding blackout? All I’m finding is crazy expensive ones. Around $250USD for him alone!
Just buy grindor
I’m gonna be so genuine. I’d be down for them making a Studio Series Frenzy core class figure like they have with Scourges minions and Noah Diaz
I'd be so down for that too
I like folding in Megatron’s hand to make it look like he drived it into an autobot’s chest. [INSERT SOMETHING CONTROVERSIAL HERE]

I love that Barricade paint job, it was what kept me from buying the original figure. Shame its not being sold on its own, because Im not about to buy an entire pack for one delux.
same
From what I hear, they regularly make the full mold everytime and then recycle the leftover plastic like alternate heads and sprew for other figures. Most likely to reduce costs and not have to make the assembly method different, they just opted to do the original version of Blackout. And besides, Grindor is still pretty cheap on certain sites like BBTS and around here he shelfwarmed for a good year at a local walmart which I snagged ofc.

That happened with mine too, rip because he's one of my fave movie cons
I have the ‘07 toy. It’s older than I am
I myself got myself an orginal human alliance barricade, and frenzy.
Now that, is an amazing figure. The mpm barricade is more accurate in robot mode, BUT it doesn't feature an internal frenzy and a full interior, pluss opening doors.
It doesn’t help where the hoods ball joint connects is made of clear plastic cus that’s hasbros big friend. Cus that cracked and broke on me sadly as well. Imma see if I can find this barricade seperate cus my god the paint is so much superior
@@mayhem-2889 clear plastic should never be stress bearing components, PERIOD.
No joints, no moving components, no nothing.

5:13 hey starscream has v2’s arm! Also if you play Ultrakill, you’d realize v1 is just whirl from the comics.
My honest reaction to this information (im gonna kill myself cuz no bonecrusher n brawl)
Your existence is a joke
10:32 That's a flaw in the design...
For some reason, the propellers like to be in an arrangement of 2 - 4; 2 in the left side and 4 in the right one (looking from the back)

I actually don't mind barricade's transformation, had the figure. *Dog ate it*
I didn't realize that this was only 150! Here's hoping it doesn't get scalped on amazon by christmas
The autobot pack took a while to sell out on Amazon when I got it last year around December and if Hasbro learned anything and decided to act on it, this pack should be in stock longer at least.
Hey it’s currently 33% off, $100 on Amazon
$99 at amazon now for a limited time.🎉
in all fairness, this is such a good box set! love it!
It’s not because of scorpanock because black puts arms are on the sides of the copter and then the back of the copter is when’s scopanock gose so it’s not him
"15 years since the first movie", bruh it was 16 years (when you made this video.)

Hey they all didn't die. Megatron and Barricade are still alive.
How is the grill for the barricade? I have the ss barricade from the buzzworthy 2 pack and, because its rubber, it just looooooves to sick out forward. does this one fix that problem? because if it does, I have more of a reason to get this set.
cool boxset, still on the hunt for Megatron and Starscream. Not sure about the Barricade, rare but the MP is still cheaper
18:09 They have also removed that word from school history lessons in some states.
Because the entire thing would have most likely been a bit over $400
This box set is overall not bad. Does the DNA Design kit work with this specific Megatron, or does the paint not match?
Am I the only one that didn’t know and am saddened by the fact that he’s not doing the Bionicle series anymore?
I got my studio series Barricade from the buzzworthy 2-pack with clunker Bumblebee, and the clear socket joint on his back got a huge crack in it on only the 2nd or 3rd time transforming him.
My barricade broke the original and Hasbro isn't giving the new one
They should do a backup 4 back with brawl and bonecrusher, along with dino and maybe jolt or some other autobots
Soo entirely off topic but, how com we haven't gotten a NES blackout/grindor?? Feel like his alt mode would fit beautifully
After days of trying I finally got barricade to tab correctly, he is staying like that forever, my fingers hurt
Bone rusher and brawl should’ve been here too 100%
They should've done a ground force pack with brawl, barricade and bone crusher, and a sky force pack with blackout, megatron and starscream
I would get the set for Blackout, Megatron and Starscream because I missed out on those when they released but as someone who owns the SS Barricade mold is one of the most infuriating figures to transform seconds to Earthrise Arcee, the thing doesn’t want to stay together at all and the thing breaks if you try to force! I was honestly expecting that to be a good figure but for it to lose to a figure that came out in 2009 is honestly sad because of the engine and quality we have today
They can grind down waste material and reuse it
What do you prefer ss 54 or ss 13???
Wow, Bonecrusher is sought after? I stopped collecting Studio Series for a while now so I was surprised. I know Shockwave is as well but my copy has deficient joints, loose in other words, so my copy is kind of disappointing but I’m pretty sure I can do some techniques to mitigate that. Yeah I like Barricade from this series but godDAMN is it such a pain to transform him and he’s pretty fiddely. I do have Grindor but not Blackout but I don’t care, and I have movie 1 SS Megatron Megatron anyway. I also got Brawl already and he was my second SS figure ever (Starscream was my first) so yeah…kinda surprised to see this series is still going strong. Man do I wish I got the War for Cybertron Gamer Edition Optimus when I had the chance, but oh well…
So I ended up passing on this set after already have Blackout and Starscream, and partially because I’m going for the MPM decepticons, but I also got the Autobot one and I would’ve only gotten the set for Brawl who’s not present here
I just realized Autobots are very colorful and Decepticons are just grey 🤔
Based on Transformers The Game's Decepticon Campaign on Playstation 2 and Xbox.
Every moment Barricade was on screen he was just getting roasted. And I relished every moment of it…
I still want this pack starscream is almost impossible to get at a decent price
Mmmmm this is at discount on Amazon Canada. I'm still debating if I should get these guys
Anyone hear the screams in the background near the end of the barricade transformation and the end of the video?
Personally while I’m sad Bonecrusher got left out because his studio series figure is AMAZING, brawl I can love without… his original deluxe back in 2007 was AMAZING but the studio series remake always felt so… watered down. Way too thin, the head looks way too big, and he just never looked quite right to me. All the other cons look perfect to me, especially Starscream but Brawl got done dirty in the studio series line.
I got the buzzworthy barricade and clunker bumblebee 2 pack and I absolutely loved the bumblebee but I did not like how spindly barricade was and I’m hoping to get this pack for Christmas so I’m hoping I have a better time with barricade
Couldn't they add them and keep it the same price 🧐
He literally explained why in the video: hasbro wanted to keep the price the same as the autobot 5-pack. If they would’ve added both boncrusher and brawl n this set, it would have costed over $200 for all six of them… which would’ve been harder to sell, especially considering there were already two Bonecrusher figures being sold at the same time.
The earlier version of this Barricade mold had the quote on the rear fenders, I wonder if it was just budgeting, I really hope so, but with the state of things I could see why having the word “enslave” on a cop car might be a little too close to home
Barricade looks way better. Everyone else looks blah. Can't believe they didn't fix blackout's hands or Megatron's chest.
I don't get it how do youtubers get so unlucky because my barricade has no problems like the chest doesn't come untabbed often.
No bonecrusher and brawl 😢
That transition Tho
Thanks for putting the explanations in the beginning, nice to get that information right off the bat.
It is my impression, or this Decepticon pack looks WAY BETTER than the Autobots one?
Autobots look too tiny and less detailed/cool, compared to the Decepticons.
Somehow, Autobots look kinda cheap, too.
what up with lego starscream because that's just a random thing to have in your collection.
Barricade is a figure that you have to transform a bit differently from the instructions. I used to have his elbows bent with the doors folded out so I can get the arms to tab in better. I love studio series but sometimes the instructions do not help
You’re not alone with that rotor issue with blackout
They didn't use the new grindor hands for blackout?? Come on hasbro
I explained why
@@ThatToyGuy yeah, it's still very unfortunate
This would have been worth if they redid the good versions but then they would be admitting studio series sucks
I still own the Barricade from the two pack it came with Clunker Bee.
It looks the same as the first studio series Barricade, minus it has the "To punish & to enslave" quote not applied on, the windows are clear clear & most areas aren't black like on this Barricade from the 4 pack.
& yes... The ball joint on the front window loves to shatter, since on mine. It's cracked.
I will give this Barricade from the 4 pack credit for darker windows, a better painted head & the police numbers on the chest area.
can't speak to actually having the SS '07 megs, but honestly not a fan of the look. though that's coming from someone someone who has MPM '07 megs (or atleast a KO variant)
I like them all especially Megatron and barricade
I really want to get this because of the barricade repaint but they removed the iconic line "to punish and enslave".
😕😭
You mistransformed the propellers In robot mode. You're supposed to get them closer together. That way when you peg Scorponok on the back his legs wrap around the 2 inner propellers and fix the whole thing in place so it doesn't move
I'm 3 minutes into the video listening to ThatToyGuy give his explanation/hypothesis on why Bonecrusher and Brawl aren't in the set. I can somewhat agree with the explanation for Bonecrusher, though I doubt releasing the SS figure would affect the sale of the MPM. But Brawl is straight up disrespect. Guy literally carried the Mission City battle single handedly and was essentially the mini boss before Megatron. Barricade fucked off before the battle even began. There is no reason he should be in the box set.
Expensive consumer price if they added 2 voyagers
@@ThatToyGuy Thank you for the reply. I agree with your explanation regarding the exclusion of the Bonecrusher and Brawl. My point regarding Brawl was because he was a bigger threat in the 07 film whereas Barricade (and even Starscream) were only there for the ride.
My main frustration is more aimed at Hasbro because I believe they often fumble the bag about as often as they produce actual bangers with their releases.
To my knowledge, I don’t think That Toy Guy ever covered Studio Series Blackout or Starscream
From my experience with barricade, my copy is a little annoying to get together, but once you do, he stays together, so that might differ from copy to copy. 😅
18:08 😢😢
Barricade's figure may be absolute caca but I still want him cuz Barricade is my favorite character of all time. So yeah I'm still getting this.
