I realized I actually have the g1 autobot clones, fastlane and cloudraker, I've had them since I was a kid(I'm 13) and did not now they were g1 until finding them on tfwiki, and I like that my first g1 figures were obscure
my uncle kept on calling laser prime the "Optimus Prime: Octane" figure for years. which i can understand why he called it that. i mean...its a tanker truck optimus.
Great review on the Botconn 2017 set! Lol! I'm amazed that Rodimus' head is actually two different colors like the original, and I agree with you about all the figs except Nautica. It's Blurr in lilac. A figure that would have made an awesome Nautica, with a touch of retooling, would have been Transformers Animated Arcee. Oh well. I'm working on a custom for that...
It was never intended to be botcon because all the names were trademarked last year and were getting three more boxsets. These are for titans return as the G2 gestalt sets and Victorion and Liokaizer were for combiner wars
I only have Quickswitch from ebay, and the joints are all really good. He can do one legged kick poses while holding two weapons, and balances really well. Maybe you got a dud or just bad for QC for box sets yet again. his head angle is a bit odd, but you can play with it, tilt up the top half a little lets his eyes be seen normally, but a fine line between slight lift up and lifting too far leaving a gap. I LOVE the figure, if not fan of G1 toys, and particularly gaudy color schemes, and stuff like G2 colors, I can see why this toy would turn some off, but I like it sooooo much. With two down, here's hoping any of the other two six changers get made eventually.
I got the original generation 2 laser prime with all his accessories for $2 at a garage sale but his push Canon for the trailer doesn't shoot his missles anymore but it's still an awesome toy
I personally agree that Nautica should've gotten a completely new mold. That is clearly Blurr, and having a female headmaster for this line would be interesting... ...aren't we getting a Titan Master Windblade in this line?
Considering how Quickswitch's alt modes are as arbitrary as Sixshot's, I don't mind that they're repaints of each other. My guess is the other "half" of the clone duos will be released solo. BTW, is it just me, or do you somehow happen to get every copy with bad QC?
I hoped quickswitch would of at LEAST gotten a new helmet like his cg render and a retool in the beast head department, the modes themselves can be substituted via imagination. And yeah just noticed that about the qc luck he has, apart from sixshot I never had what he's had to endure
Shattered Glass Unicron yes... look on the side of the box and you will see 4 symbols, one representing velocity , one for siege, and 2 others. The 2 others are being revealed at SDCC
Nautica is probably going to be the main reason that this set will sell because of people who are trying to build the Lost Light gang. It's why *i'm* gonna try to pick up this set, if the price is forgiving. I.E: Under £95. Leader - £40 Voyager - £20 Deluxe - £10 Scout - £7 Legends - £5 = £82
I think that the split crouch of fastclash/fastlane is for future remolding for cloudraker because I saw a video review of g1 cloudraker the legs splits for the transformation for jet mode😄
You forgot to turn the tries out, and slide arm up on Quickswitch. But, to solve the eye problem, I like to have the top of the helmet just rest over the forehead to see the eyes.
OMG just picked up one of these for me and one for a friend this Saturday just gone, when Home Bargains here in the UK suddenly had a bajillion in stock out of nowhere for £30 each. Looks like Toys R Us UK did in fact get some shipments but they never made it out of a warehouse that HB ended up picking up in liquidation? So pleased to finally pick up a set that unless you imported from the US back in the day, until this week was going for hundreds on Ebay purely because of its rarity. Super satisfied with it.
Also Quickswitch looks like way more of a contrast and original figure next to my Sixshot, but that's 'cause my girlfriend got me MMC Terminus Hexatron for my birthday a few years back. I can see how it'd be a disappointment if I had the identical figure.
The legs split like that not to combine infact so it has the axsact same articulaition as his brother as he require his legs to splint for his transformation
There are hundreds of robot spaceships and futuristic vehicles, robot dinosaurs and monsters, fictional creatures, and cars with wings, but no primes name on the side of a oil tank is what makes you think that the whole "robots in disguise" idea is destroyed.
Well, if you don't consider the faction logos, the fights in the middle of a city, the giant Autobot's and decepticon's combiners and titans, the fu¢king beast that are no hiding their robot parts cof cof g1 dinobots cof cof, the optimus name it kinda ruin's it!
Hey dude! I just wanted to tell you that if you liked the "Choas on Volacitron" set then you would love the"Seige on Cybertron" set. See ya wouldn't want to be you!
Quickswitch looks like a McDonald's playground. This set is an easy pass for me, I love G1, but there's a point where the super-obscure G1 characters don't do it for me (and that's titans return in a nutshell). I'd LOVE to have that Rodimus Prime head, but like you said, holding out hoped for a Voyager Rodimus Prime with the trailer.
+Jcc2224 I know what you mean, but still if the mold looks interesting enough I'll pick up a toy, even if it's obscure. And you have to give them some credit, even if they borked the whole 'completely different design' thing Quickswitch was supposed to have, they at least got his colors right. I know, I own the original toy (somewhere. Dammit I hope he didn't get lost in the move..) w/o his weapons and stuff, so at least his colors are accurate if nothing else. I'm still aiming to get my hands on Sixshot, as I've always wanted that toy (and his colors are awesome), but if I run across a Quickswitch at one of my local stores I'll go ahead and just pick him up first, while still holding out hope for a Sixshot. The different modes are 'modable' enough to where I can fake it and give him a boat mode and maybe a different version of one or two of his other modes to make him different enough from his mold-mate.
I think the leg gimmick on fastclash may be pretooling for the other clone. iirc the original jet clone guy's legs do the splits like that for transformation.
Fastcrash is barely a transformer. It's the equivalent of glueing some wheels and a spoiler onto another robot figure and folding the arms and legs a bit. It results in a clean robot mode, but even if it's like the original figure, it's a mediocre vehicle at best. The Rodimus head is pretty cool. I think Nautica looks nice, but it's basically just Blurr with some attachments. The others are just meh repaints. Overall, I'm just considering getting the Rodimus head off eBay.
Fastlane transforms like that as the legs sweep back for part of Cloudraker's jet mode, we should see him and Wingspan at some point.

@@Yang-xy4gn & or and can work here you dinghy
And we did
The original Laser Optimus was one of the best figures they made of him. Full articulation. He was electronic. I wish I had kept him.
if optimus's jet modes were to be graded, they'd always get the "A for participation" award
I realized I actually have the g1 autobot clones, fastlane and cloudraker, I've had them since I was a kid(I'm 13) and did not now they were g1 until finding them on tfwiki, and I like that my first g1 figures were obscure

Travis Robinett It also says Optimus Prime Octane on the trailer.
well my uncle's figure's trailer was faded badly so i couldnt tell
Not gonna lie octane optimus sounds lit
Octane?! Isn’t that a deception?!
This prime figure is a remold of the titans return figure octane with the titans master murk who was a decepticon

I was very happy to find and get this set. Nautica and Prime are the bees-knees!
@PercyPrime6598 it's a saying
I would've loved is Hasbro had at least remolded the nosecone and given Nautica the hand covers from Brainstorm and MAYBE a slightly longer canopy
or just reuse the Brainstorm wings and prevent those embarassing clip-on parts
LordAaronus that I'd have to disagree with you on since Nautica is supposed to be a hovercraft
they can just replace the wing parts with something else since there's hinges on the Brainstorm arms
LordAaronus ล ช

it's crazy how much re-used molds were in the prime wars trilogy, wfc barely has that issue
And if they do reuse molds so far it's for the same characters
@@beartanna8284 ultra Magnus is the same as Optimus prime
@@chaosenforcerdhm969 Are you talking about the WFC Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus? They are mostly different molds with only some reused parts.

Actually, balt, if you look at the G2 Laser Prime figure there's no paint missing. The original figure's shoulders and pylons were both grey.
I love the Nautica, wish she was sold separately.
I wish all pack exclusives were sold separately
I got the original generation 2 laser prime with all his accessories for $2 at a garage sale but his push Canon for the trailer doesn't shoot his missles anymore but it's still an awesome toy
Looked it up, That Optimus has the EXACT same colours as G2 Laser Prime! THe only difference is the hands.

Other 2023 Transformers fans: “NO, THAT’S FAST CRASH”
Really want this for fastlane nautica and quickswitch just wish people would stop being so negative about it just be glad they got updated toys
I personally agree that Nautica should've gotten a completely new mold. That is clearly Blurr, and having a female headmaster for this line would be interesting...
...aren't we getting a Titan Master Windblade in this line?
Yeah that does fit her.
Back when toys r us still was available in the US

There are 3 more planned box sets that will each have a clone. The next one is a BBTS exclusive

The hotrod head compared with rodimus head, makes the hotrod head look like more like a ironhide head.

After hearing that nickname for the set, I want it even more now.
In the future : Titans return rodimus prime figure, if you would like to have a head for this figure please purchase the chaos on velocitron set
pretty sure there was one already
Transformers is now owned by EA
Awesome - had not idea you're from the DMV. I use to frequent the Columbia TRU. Keep up the good work!
#wheresRIDScourge, CW Baldigus is basically RID Ruination

Hasbro missed out on another repaint scourge from rid 2001

If I were you, I would call Prime's sword the star saber, Because I just think it's appearance with the clear blue plastic fits that name
Took me til today to realize Armada Optimus is a retool of Laser Optimus
It looks like prime has speakers on his shoulders
thank you for listening to my comments first gnaw bumblebee and hot rod now this!!! thank you
i know is a bit late but i just got this figure, if u pull optimus lower blue abs it will tab out a bit so they look straight.
The legs split like that not to combine infact so it has the axsact same articulaition as his brother as he require his legs to splint for his transformation
I really like nauticas head,it looks a lot like her and not like blur.
Anyone else waiting for a Nautica figure that isn't a repaint?
Hang on a second!
doesnt having prime's name on his side kinda destory the whole "robots in disguise" idea
There are hundreds of robot spaceships and futuristic vehicles, robot dinosaurs and monsters, fictional creatures, and cars with wings, but no primes name on the side of a oil tank is what makes you think that the whole "robots in disguise" idea is destroyed.
Silver Wheelchairiot that combined with the fact constructicons are neon green and purple and the autobot and deception logos on them
Well, if you don't consider the faction logos, the fights in the middle of a city, the giant Autobot's and decepticon's combiners and titans, the fu¢king beast that are no hiding their robot parts cof cof g1 dinobots cof cof, the optimus name it kinda ruin's it!
the 1st one is a triple changer car boat robot and a combiner..
Laser prime is the rebrand ultra magnus
What is this spelling
Yeah i love this set too.
Fast lane could be repainted as an Energon Prowl
We don’t speak about Energon. Ever.
I like that 5-pack.
when legacy first came out, i thought that laser prime was this figure
Quickswitch's knee problem is there with my Sixshot
This set is on sale at my local store for 30 quid.
A fellow Marylander. Yes
Are there official names for the Titan Masters in this set?
Laser prime is an octane recolor/remold.
You're mistaken about the shoulder pylons on Prime. They were always grey/silver in bot mode.
You live in Maryland?! So do I!
Hey dude! I just wanted to tell you that if you liked the "Choas on Volacitron" set then you would love the"Seige on Cybertron" set. See ya wouldn't want to be you!
Your Quickswitch head is completely different from mine. I have a full face not a repaint of Sixshot. How odd.
Smurfatron picture?
"It is going to be slightly longer." its 14 minutes
great job
Quickswicth is a autobot but six shot is a decepticon
since some of them are remolds you can mix and match
Can u do a video we're u show all of the boat/submarine transformers and see if they float or sink
I wish Hot rod and nautica were released on their own.
And yes quickswitch and Sixshot are father and son of transformers g1.
Wow
Quickswitch looks like a McDonald's playground.
This set is an easy pass for me, I love G1, but there's a point where the super-obscure G1 characters don't do it for me (and that's titans return in a nutshell). I'd LOVE to have that Rodimus Prime head, but like you said, holding out hoped for a Voyager Rodimus Prime with the trailer.
Jcc2224 Laser Prime isn't G1.
+Jcc2224 I know what you mean, but still if the mold looks interesting enough I'll pick up a toy, even if it's obscure.

Jcc2224 Titan's return doesn't have super obscure characters trust me they are a lot less obscure than you think compared to others
Looking forward to Leader-class Rodimus for Power of the Primes?
Welcome to Power of The Primes. Leader class Rodimus Prime.
None of the TRUs by me ever get sets (or titan class after Metroplex for that matter.
I think the leg gimmick on fastclash may be pretooling for the other clone. iirc the original jet clone guy's legs do the splits like that for transformation.
keith twombley that's what Im thinking like the legs become the wings on cloudraker
keith twombley Exactly. It has nothing to do with any kind of combination.
keith twombley theres even a hole where the cockpit pin will be on the back.
The prime transformation is reminiscent of g1 Octane
i really hope we'll get a new Nautica figure in Legacy
I hope they make more RUclips videos
Sickshot
Is a great achievement for Hasbro he was like what the f***did baltmatrix a
I wasn't born yet but I've seen transformers generation 2.
The jet mode looks more like a train
I think that nauticas wings would be good to put on my blur if it was painted turquoise
Nautica looks awesome
Japelma Studios eh not really nautica barely looks anything like her robot mode or her vehicle mode in the comics or
The problem I see with quick switch is the yellow on his face
Cool
Nautica .... you mean sideways... thats all i can think when seeing the colors of it
Lord Lucemon same armada sideways
Same with my six shot
Your amazing!
They prob had to change the name from fast lane cause it's the name of a already prominent RC Car company
Has no one pointed out that optimus is naruto running on the box?
I have that red car in this video and it’s a plane
I like your toys.
Hey, you could just tip the helmet to see the eyes. I had to do it with 6 shot
6shot is quickswitch's dad.
Fast lane is chestplate for the combiner...
A titans master? How many masters does tripticon, metroplex, and fortress maximes

Copper The whole purpose of this set is to satisfy gen-wunners... I'm assuming you don't fall into that category
Where can I get just the Rodimus head? It would save alot of money

Quick switch looks like a stoner to me witch is why his legs are so lose he don't wanna get out the couch lol
Where's my Sunstreaker with Hunter O'nion!
Rotorstorm The Turbomaster well........... dead
I live in Baltimore
The Optimus prime looks like the Optimus version of octain
They're the same figure, with some remolding and different paint.
reminds me of octane
I like it but they should put color on the wings
the best ash -Greninja it's not an official jet mode, so they probably ignored them.
ok
Phat Beet
Optimus's colours is terrible, Rodimus looks good, Nautica is well done, Quickswitch is very weird and Fastclach alt-mode looks like lying robot.
What if FastClash has a BreastMaster mode?
Bro my Sixshot has the same problem as your Quickswitch
