I think they decided to just make 2 figures combine into the dragon instead of the twelve in the film because it would be extremely difficult to pull off. If they did the 12 knights as legends class figures, it would probably be extremely fiddly to transform and probably fall apart a lot, and if they did them any of the bigger sizes the combined mode would be enormous
I wouldn't see how else Hasbro would make a Dragonstorm made out of 12 bots. Even a Legion scale combiner would compromise the individual figures. Devastator was easier since his bots are easier to recognize thanks to their colors and distinct designs whereas the Knights would look too similar to each other.
Quantum Surge yeah, no amount of proper engineering would prevent it from being a floppy mess. Plus a design of that ingenuity is something Hasbro would never do
why stop at 12? hell, lets have 3 bots form the torso, 2 bots form the right arm, 2 bots form the left arm, and 6 bots for the legs! then suddenly a bigger bot breaks apart and forms armor. yes, i drew this in my sketchbook, it was horrifying drawing the actual instructions for most of them as i usually put in a lot of effort when drawing new transformers
-"No torso articulation." -Demonstrates the pelvis turns as part of the transformation I mean it's not where a waist normally goes but it does exist...
Predaking was a better dragon bot, and scourge from cybertron and to an earlier extent, beast wars megatron, Rid megatron, beast wars galavatron and... well you get the idea.
Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. so my opinion wont effect you in anyway. I am just not a fan of forcing a gimmick mocking or otherwise because its been pretty much a quality review.. God im bored, why is it a thing that bugs me?
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. And right now, we're in Washington. In other words, The Jobby himself said to keep the excessive swivels in his comments, and not anyone else's. So let's try to be safe
I hope we get more knight figures for TF6. We still need 7 guardian knights plus the green talisman knight who isn't one of the main 12 (like optimus) who form Dragonstorm.
Jeez I'm reading these comments and it's like no one can poke a little fun at another RUclipsr's gimmick. I get people are annoyed by it, but don't throw out the idea that it's a bit of a "parody" or "satire". Take a chill pill and stop being so uptight about it. It's not like the reviews will suddenly become a super different and change permanently out of the blue. Regardless, the review was great as always! I'm not personally a fan of the recent movie figures as they are meh in my eyes. But dragonstorm does have some cool ideas incorporated into it. The idea or a two in one is also pretty darn cool too.
There's a video showing the heads breaking out of packaging, but that will happen when you just rip the figure out (just use scissors). For tf6 i would like to see one of the knights join the main cast and get a truck mode.
Who needs 12 bots to combine when only 2 can make up some pretty interesting separate dragons! Still needs better paint, but this is probably going to be the best Leader Class figure(s) in TLK since Megs's gimmick isn't executed well (he still looks good) and Prime is a lame repaint being sold next to the far superior Voyager.
It's to prevent a vacuum from forming inside the joint. If that happens then the joint won't move until the vacuum is release. And in some cases that will destroy the plastic.
My front legs on dragonstorm broke off to the heads of the dream broke off so I'm going to have to get a new one I'm very sad about that😥😫😫😫😫😫😫😥😥😥😥🙁☹️🙁☹️🙁☹️😖😖😖😖😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢👎
This is where youtube gets a little weird. You guys don't always see the correct times of when it was uploaded and published. When I log into as myself to look at the videos I see this: "Sep 22, 2017 10:56 PM | PUBLISHED: Sep 23, 2017 9:00 AM" . So I uploaded the vid around 11pm last night (that's when the upload actually finished). And set it to go live this morning.
Lol, for once you got a pretty flawless figure (for what it is) and mine is riddled with QC issues! That, and Hasbro isn't too keen on fixing a single one of them. One of his dragon heads was broken completely off in-box, and Dragonicus' chest piece will NOT stay together. If you force it shut, his head pops off. It's honestly quite frustrating because in general I like this set. :L
Please can you do a comparison with Steelbane in both robot with robot mode? And with dragon and wyvern mode? Please please please! It would really help the purchase for me (and I think for other people). It's your responsibility pleaseeee...
If i made toys i would make Him be a partsformer but have no leftovers except the weapons they will turn into the peaces for the fire peaces to act as smoke and fire its all probably going to be Masterpiece and leader-Class size ._.
It's a cool concept for a figure, but the shitty paint and overall lack of refining to both the dragon and bot modes lead to a rather lackluster figure imo.
I hate how all places selling him are selling him with megatron . Just so you spend twice as much money on it....... I already have megs, I don't need 2 -_-
The first time dragon storm combine the red night doesn’t combine with it the second time dragon storm combine Optimus killed two knights and the trf killed skullytron
Chinese style dragon and two headed European style dragon
combine to form King Ghidorah
Now they're ready to fight Trypticon
King gadotrah
Roar
Godzilla is going to get his booty kicked
With arms and Godzilla has to deal with two robots that turn into a dragon 🐉
More like a giant serpent because Eastern dragons have 4 legs.

You say that like humongous combiners are a bad thing
rotf Devastator would like to attest to that.
14redranger I'm not saying they're a bad thing, it usually becomes a case of where to store/display the figures
14redranger
They will be clumsy to move, hard to store, and way too heavy, especially for kids, the target demographic.
Stormreign's headsculpt makes me think of a mandalorian helmet
this is the way
I wouldn't see how else Hasbro would make a Dragonstorm made out of 12 bots. Even a Legion scale combiner would compromise the individual figures. Devastator was easier since his bots are easier to recognize thanks to their colors and distinct designs whereas the Knights would look too similar to each other.
Quantum Surge yeah, no amount of proper engineering would prevent it from being a floppy mess. Plus a design of that ingenuity is something Hasbro would never do
something hasbro isn't *capable of* due to budget constraints.
Forget Hasbro, I doubt even MMC or DX9 could pull it off.
Quantum Surge I don't get it
KINGOFPANDAZ45 Garcia the engineering required to make a Dragon composed of 12 robots is likely to never come out well
Still a better combiner then ROTF Devastator.
Legend or the big one?
At least they came with there heads.
the unbounded trainer yup.
*Emgo intensifies*
MINOR QC ISSUE
Is it just me that when he say 'swivel', it sounded likes jobbythehong's 'swivel'??
F4r15 yes. It's annoying.
yup, and the reason i unsubed optibotimus is that he did the same thing ;-;
makes you wonder if they can make the twelve-man combiner team version in the Legends class or something.
like they did with infernicus and the rotf devastator
Third parties need to do that. Then another third party needs to upscale those legends into leader classes.
We got legion Dragonstorm.
why stop at 12? hell, lets have 3 bots form the torso, 2 bots form the right arm, 2 bots form the left arm, and 6 bots for the legs! then suddenly a bigger bot breaks apart and forms armor.
yes, i drew this in my sketchbook, it was horrifying drawing the actual instructions for most of them as i usually put in a lot of effort when drawing new transformers
They did that check out
The lack of swivels would definetly upset a "certain internet personality"
Quickswitch Media you talking about jobby bra?
LMJ prime who else would I be talking about then jobby daddy
Nemesis prime power master review today
hehe, such excite.
Quickswitch Media I love my dad
I smell a Doublecross or RID Megatron and Cohrada or Nightviper repaint by someone... Would be pretty badass!
-"No torso articulation."
-Demonstrates the pelvis turns as part of the transformation
I mean it's not where a waist normally goes but it does exist...
That rad paint on Stormrain's eye makes him looks like those lovely Zeon mobile suits from Gundam
Predaking was a better dragon bot, and scourge from cybertron and to an earlier extent, beast wars megatron, Rid megatron, beast wars galavatron and... well you get the idea.
I liked a lot of the Predicon dragon figures from Prime as well.
I like this set.
Specially the dragon mode.
And I guess hasbro tried to make it a little more colorful to be more eye catchy on the shelf.
SWIVEL HERE!!!
Wish this figure was more like the Legion and Mega 1-step toys.
Just one badass robot mode.
Stormreign's dragon head broke off while in storage, four months after I got it, I pray to Primus we get a Studio Series Dragonstorm.
2:23 dude you're asking for it at this point
Saying the word 'swivel' does not amount to 'asking for it'.
The way he forces it makes me want to unsub, but i like his reviews sooo much
Willie Boxley thats literally I minor nickpick thats forgettable
Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. so my opinion wont effect you in anyway. I am just not a fan of forcing a gimmick mocking or otherwise because its been pretty much a quality review.. God im bored, why is it a thing that bugs me?
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. And right now, we're in Washington.
In other words, The Jobby himself said to keep the excessive swivels in his comments, and not anyone else's. So let's try to be safe
I see this as either Death Ghidorah from Rebirth of Mothra 1, or Keizer Ghidorah From Godzilla Final Wars.
I hope we get more knight figures for TF6. We still need 7 guardian knights plus the green talisman knight who isn't one of the main 12 (like optimus) who form Dragonstorm.
Brandon McFadden the talisman knight we got as a figure, the name was steelbane, as we already have steelbane as a figure.
Jeez I'm reading these comments and it's like no one can poke a little fun at another RUclipsr's gimmick. I get people are annoyed by it, but don't throw out the idea that it's a bit of a "parody" or "satire". Take a chill pill and stop being so uptight about it.

Dragonicus' head reminds me of a mark 3 marine from 40k
There's a video showing the heads breaking out of packaging, but that will happen when you just rip the figure out (just use scissors). For tf6 i would like to see one of the knights join the main cast and get a truck mode.
NEED THIRD PARTY OR MASTERPIECE DRAGONSTORM
Grimlock: Me Grimlock am Optimus Prime's loyal steed.
Dragon storm: Should I tell him?
I'm still waiting for a gold repaint of this figure if you know what I mean.
yeah i like that they can combine and be their own beasts
Man, this figure really brings to mind old Beast Wars engineering like in Magmatron and Magnaboss
You're 1 of my heroes on RUclips
At firs I thought it was weird he was talking about posebility like Jobby, but when i saw he's subscribed to him everything became clear
6:56 i like that it has a water serpent look
Dragonstorm: The "Teacher's Pet"
Dragonicus looks like he has a shredder head
I feel you always give the most honest reviews. Thanks
With a colour scheme like this, I’m not surprised that people thought this was Predaking before the release of the movie.
Oh no Balt not you!!! The swiveling !!!! It's happening!!!!!
Kind of hope that Takara does a 12 knights version in legends scale, just like they made the superior Devastator that way.
The first bot's head looks like the Shredder from the 80's TMNT series
An overweight shredder but I can see it.
I can see a customized version of Dragonstorm into Keizer Ghidorah
Who needs 12 bots to combine when only 2 can make up some pretty interesting separate dragons! Still needs better paint, but this is probably going to be the best Leader Class figure(s) in TLK since Megs's gimmick isn't executed well (he still looks good) and Prime is a lame repaint being sold next to the far superior Voyager.
The robot modes with the hands swapped for the dragon heads reminds me of the shenlong and altron Gundam
That totally works. Could even see armored Snake men from He-Man.
baltmatrix review more gundam stuff please
Great review Spada!!! He definitely needs paint but otherwise he's a great figure...
This toy looks awesome... But yeah... I wish this toy had some better colors.
I think the swivel thing was fine, it seems like you've taken a liking to jobby.
Godzilla would get 100% confused by the beast mode. The beast mode looks like Ghidorah.
I hope we get a Studio Series version.
I wish I had this figure.
I've always wondered, why is there always a cut on the outside of balljointed limbs?
It's to prevent a vacuum from forming inside the joint. If that happens then the joint won't move until the vacuum is release. And in some cases that will destroy the plastic.
baltmatrix ahhh, ok thanks clearing that up 👍
Thumps up for liking the moving. Thumps down for not liking the moving
I have a small question, are you doing the "Swivel Here" bit due to being inspired by JobbyTheHong's toy reviews?
Excellent video. This figure is Awesome! I Hope this Toy can be sold in Brazil because I want him. Heheheh
I will catch you next time.
I watched this video because I found the same figure on eBay and wanted to see if it would be a good buy
The SWIVELLLSSS would probably get the attention of Jobby
7:10 this could be used for twinferno and grotesque
My front legs on dragonstorm broke off to the heads of the dream broke off so I'm going to have to get a new one I'm very sad about that😥😫😫😫😫😫😫😥😥😥😥🙁☹️🙁☹️🙁☹️😖😖😖😖😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢👎
I can't belive u make vids this early btw WHY DID U I EVEN WAKE UP I'M FREAKING TIRED
TRANSFORMERS 5 THE LAST KNIGHT PRO he made it in morning but upload times are strange
This is where youtube gets a little weird. You guys don't always see the correct times of when it was uploaded and published.

baltmatrix oh ok
Don't copy jobby's swivels
Die Oh Beet Oh I love jobbythehog!!!!!
Wish they gave this studio series grimlocks paint job
Great piece. Could use a better paint job but still going to get this
If they can do movie the best stormreign that would be cool
Can't contain.... SWIVEL HERE
When are you going to make a video on what left on power rangers jungle fury by getting jungle Master and rino megazords
Baltmatrix: collapse the croch
Me: just like steel bane but the mask not the croch but i get micheal bay was doing
The way he says SWIVEL.
Stomrain head looks like the mandaloreyons. Head
jobby: this is my idol
Dragonicus' s head actually looks like the more acurate version of steelbane
Lol, for once you got a pretty flawless figure (for what it is) and mine is riddled with QC issues! That, and Hasbro isn't too keen on fixing a single one of them. One of his dragon heads was broken completely off in-box, and Dragonicus' chest piece will NOT stay together. If you force it shut, his head pops off. It's honestly quite frustrating because in general I like this set. :L
Made of twelve transformers huh?
*my mind* : “a weapon to surpass ss 69 devastator”
It should be a brownish silver tan like in the movie.
Please can you do a comparison with Steelbane in both robot with robot mode? And with dragon and wyvern mode? Please please please! It would really help the purchase for me (and I think for other people). It's your responsibility pleaseeee...
Hey Balt did you have some specific qc issues regarding to this figure where one of the head breaks apart?
Watch a third party company make a version with all the other knights together.
The snake like one is a wyrm just to clarify
Baselisk
Third Party Company should make 13 knights of dragon transformers
it's better than emgo's his was initially missing a head on dragonicus
Could you imagine this as a twelve piece studio series baf?
If i made toys i would make Him be a partsformer but have no leftovers except the weapons they will turn into the peaces for the fire peaces to act as smoke and fire its all probably going to be Masterpiece and leader-Class size ._.
Might give it a Shattered glass Thundercracker recolouring (tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/e/e3/SGtoy-Thundercracker.jpg)
I like how you won't even mention the name "Steelbane"
So did Mandalore The Ultimate decide to become a transformer and change his name to Stormreign?
Also, It would be so much better with a different color scheme.
I get what they were going for but the dirt painting makes these guys hard to look at
Good review balt
Thanks!
This is like the ice cream twins
It's a cool concept for a figure, but the shitty paint and overall lack of refining to both the dragon and bot modes lead to a rather lackluster figure imo.
I love chosen prime but they sadly wont sell Dragonstorm by itself -_- he's the last figure I need of this line god damn it....
In the movie, he's red.
2:21 SWIVEL HERE
Why does this figure make me think of Magmatron from Beast Wars Neo?
Oh I can totally see that.
Well I just gotta say this thing looks fuckin cool
I hate how all places selling him are selling him with megatron . Just so you spend twice as much money on it....... I already have megs, I don't need 2 -_-
The first time dragon storm combine the red night doesn’t combine with it the second time dragon storm combine Optimus killed two knights and the trf killed skullytron
Why does everyone hate Steelbane? I may have gotten lucky, but there's nothing wrong with my version.
TheTrojanToaster I got the deluxe class Skullitron and I got lucky with it
Go back and watch my review of the figure. Mine couldn't even stand up in either mode.
baltmatrix I did. You were about to throw it across the room from what I could tell. Also, how's your progress with you illness?
12 Knights
Stormreign is actually the leader of the Knights, not Dragonicus.
Can someone please make a Robot mode out of the Combined mode? Seriously, it’s gotta be possible
7:10 all citizen rights to dragon arm
am i the only one to see a cybertron scourge repaint/remold?
MPM Dragonstorm, size of a hood of a car.
Metal DesGhidorah
