Can't say I was ever an RID 2015 fan but she was always the best parts of what I watched; Strongarm is a cool character and a great addition to the overall Transformers cast of characters and archetypes
Not bad, v-mode seems a bit squashed but overall looks like a solid buy for me. I hope they do an RiD Steeljaw too, his original figure was just as bad as the original Strongarm's. Otherwise they should get on to Underbite and Clampdown since they didn't receive full-size figures in that line like the other main 'cons.
"Autobots rev up and roll out!" One of my favorite shows, after BW and TFA, exactly in thar order. One of my favorite characters too, she really needed to be updated. Shame they didn't include Decepticon Hunter. I still own some warrior class figures - Bludgeon, Bumblebee, Twinferno and both variants of Windblade (she could use an update too). Hopefully they will give us at least core cast members in near future (Steeljaw could be updated since his toy was very mediocre).
hahahaha that was one of the funny bits on the show when bee couldn't come up with a roll out tag line LOL definitely bro! same yeah me too shame they didn't put that weapon, I'm sure a 3rd party co. will give us an upgrade kit for her oh awesome bro! sadly I sold off my entire RID collection years ago... I hope they do that, at least the main autobot cast. we need sideswipe and drift! they can do bee, grimlock and fixit last
I totally agree this mold looks way better. It's almost like this is what the mold was first made for in my opinion and were able to fit Minerva and Alita into it.
yes bro go! happy hunting ! yeah, I did, the background noise of nature in the evening, I thought was a bit distracting... so I put some background music. but thanks, glad you liked it
A big backpack is better than parts-forming and the risk of losing key components or pretending that it is a 'hover board'. And she wears the look well. This mould is a good compromise between the more doll-like robot mode and chunky vehicle mode without too much shell-forming.
Haven´t they basically upgraded the backpack into a far more manageable one, plus added another join to the shoulder pilons? Degading to one weapon sounds fine by me as trade off.
@@danielmedela8725 hahaha but I think even with ROTB's failure and flop at the box office, the movie still made fans want to buy more transformers toys and figures
@@chefatron While that is the entire point, I would love to see the numbers comparing how much ROTB figures sold compared to Legacy or Bee movie... It is likely lower. Though Earthspark is probably even worse selling
It’s the nose, I don’t know why they can’t leave a character that didn’t have a nose alone, the prime characters had the same issue amongst many others, they aren’t G1 so stop trying to make them look G1 >:(
This is perfection! They finally gave us a legacy figure that nails the show’s design while giving us better articulation. If the upcoming animated figures are as good as this then we’ll be eating good boys
She's a tricky one, on one level it annoys me that she's a remould it screws up some details that didn't need to be screwed up by that, but on the other hand the vehicle mode is fairly accurate and she is pretty well painted and she's certainly a better job than say Knockout was. Maybe I'll stick her in my "wait for a sale" list though.
I agree bro yeah, clearance is always best bro...I'm pretty sure she'll be warming the pegs since everyone's just after bombshell in this wave and maybe detritus...
So we have same problem as in Combiner Wars and WFC: one fembot mold, and Hasbro is going to use it for as much characters as it can. I know, this is only third, and it's a remold, but wait for it. None the less, Strongarm is the best from them.
well, you know hasbro, they love milking their molds and bamboozling fans into buying the same figure over and over making us believe they're different figures... smh... yes I agree bro, strongarm is the best, I actually kept her and went and sold off Elita and Minerva
Está algo bien en modo vehículo está genial no sé si le falta algo pero se ve bien y Hasbro haga más personajes de riid 2015 como terrashock ,steeljaw,,drift , sideswipe entre otros
I was watching and comparing with my own Strongarm of 2015 (though i got her in 2016 for my birthday, since there was nothing else on sale and hard to find any transformer toy), and...she deserved her own mold. I am still baffled with everyone complaining on ironhide siege/earthrise feet, but these molds, they shut up. Anyway, she's too small . Yah articulation and all, better then the 2015 which had a pretty basic engineering (because it was for kids....), but, i am not sold. Her original is cooler for me, the sculpt I mean. If i had this Strongarm, i'd switch the weapons for the original one. Its not perfect, so i keep my original one. There is not really anything new for me with this one.
i dont think i like that, there was so little that needed to be done to g1-ify this character since she's blocky to begin with, but the head is the one thing that probably should have been changed and they did the worst thing of just adding a nose
hahahaha well, toys r us Asia is not really affiliated with the US parent company... various asian retailers merely paid royalties to use the brand and store name... so completely independent with regard operations and financing... that's why they're still around...
I don't work for hasbro this wave popped up here in Manila at our Toys R Us stores and I picked them up. if you watched the entirety of the video you'd know that.. also this wave has been out in Asian countries for some time now.. actually warming the pegs... just because they appear so late in your country, doesn't mean we get them early... we get stuff on time.. you guys just get them late. blame hasbro not us.
Have you ever considered weighing the figures when you discuss things like budget and amount of plastic used?
He did at one point, when doing Legacy Armada Starscream.
yes I have
Can't say I was ever an RID 2015 fan but she was always the best parts of what I watched; Strongarm is a cool character and a great addition to the overall Transformers cast of characters and archetypes
oh I loved the show bro
she was annoying at first but she really grew on me 😀
she looks pretty good. especially for a retool.
now i'm kinda hoping she can be further retooled into Nightbeat and maybe even a G1-ified Velocity
I kinda think mainline nightbird would be fun as nightbeat with some heavy remolding
I honestly expected the Nightbeat retool before a Strongarm but I still can't wait to see the Nightbeat
definitely bro!
yes, perhaps...
l wonder if hasbro and takara Tomy be doing the Legacy Transformers robots in Disguise 2015 decepticons and the rest of the Autobots
Fingers crossed on this one. I would love to see RID 2015 Steeljaw or Megatronus.
I hope they do
Not bad, v-mode seems a bit squashed but overall looks like a solid buy for me. I hope they do an RiD Steeljaw too, his original figure was just as bad as the original Strongarm's. Otherwise they should get on to Underbite and Clampdown since they didn't receive full-size figures in that line like the other main 'cons.
One day they need to do reverse legacy and do clampdown in bayverse style that would look amazing
I agree
oh I would love to see more Cons from RID in the Legacy line especially Fracture, Skorponok, and Thunderhoof

Mold definitely works for Strongarm much better than people said/thought it would, definitely gonna grab💙
oh definitely...I kept here and sold off Elita and Minerva
I might get her and maybe animated prowl for a small autobot police team
oh awesome man, happy hunting !
Not 100% in love with this figure, but it'll be a while before we get another one, and I can't say no to a fembot.😁
oh I definitely think you'll love this figure bro once you get her in hand
I wished they had made a Animated Kickback. He was a grasshopper that turned into a dragstrip rail car
There’s no such thing as an Animated Kickback, are you talking about RID 2015?
@@jedijack0577 probably RID. I get them confused sometimes.
@@rickycannon5366 but nah give us Springload and a Commander/ Leader Underbyte
Not to mention an obvious inclusion Deluxe/ Voyager Steeljaw
maybe they will, who knows ?
Really didn't realize that she was a remold of the Legacy Elita-1 mold 😲 liking the figure a lot more now. Great review buddy!
yeah me too
thanks so much! my friend 😀
I totally agree this mold looks way better. It's almost like this is what the mold was first made for in my opinion and were able to fit Minerva and Alita into it.
yes definitely bro! I actually kept her and just sold off Elita and Minerva
Is there a preorder for this on Amazon?
there should be one
Okay, something’s telling me I have to get both Strongarm and Minerva. I don’t know why. And I see you put music in the review. Love it!
yes bro go! happy hunting !
yeah, I did, the background noise of nature in the evening, I thought was a bit distracting... so I put some background music. but thanks, glad you liked it
Which mall did you go to get it
This is the retool I expected from seeing Elita's altmode. The proper figure Strongarm deserves.
yes definitely !
A big backpack is better than parts-forming and the risk of losing key components or pretending that it is a 'hover board'. And she wears the look well. This mould is a good compromise between the more doll-like robot mode and chunky vehicle mode without too much shell-forming.
I agree bro
We are hoping to get Strongarm and Shadowstriker but it's a waiting game at moment as Axlegrease and Beachcomber have only just turned up.
cool bro, happy hunting !
Is this a new figure o it'been out for a while now?
it's been out for a month over here in Manila
Have you seen core class snarl? I am dieing to get him to complete Vulcanicus.
hasn't showed up here in Asia... still waiting on it
she looks awesome...i still have my robot in disguise one...must grab
definitely bro!
sadly I sold off all my RID figures... 😢
Wait some retailers already have these ???
this figure is warming the pegs in some stores here in manila
@@chefatron I’m in va I don’t think we got any in our stores yet
@@Makeouthillz248 I see... I hope you get stocks soon...
In my frustration of failing to get Bombshell, I got her and Shadow Striker today. Love them both haha
maganda naman talaga bro... pero yung shadow striker, binenta ko agad after reviewing....
Haven´t they basically upgraded the backpack into a far more manageable one, plus added another join to the shoulder pilons? Degading to one weapon sounds fine by me as trade off.
but the figure is quite small for a deluxe... I'm sure they could have squeezed the budget for an unpainted decepticon hunter accessory...
@@chefatron Hasbro is starved for money after the failure of Rise of the Beasts, they will save up all they can.

She looks amazing, i love the character btw, i still have the old warrior class figure in my collection
indeed
same
oh awesome !
Sorry bro but you don't have Minerva's back piece even transformed right
my bad
So what would you rate the figure out of 10
9.5/10
now here me out 2015 was really cool for me and is bye far one of my top three shows on my list for transfomers
oh awesome man!
thx@@chefatron
I really liked RID2015 until they did the combiner crap. Where's Drift in your end display?
oh I already sold off my entire RID collection couple years back... sadly
You mean her desepticon hunter (the weapon that can turn into what ever the host wants)
oh yeah that one! thanks man
Looks great, love the color scheme, though idk why her face somehow bothers me.
also that "evofusion" made me chuckle ngl, lmao.
It’s the nose, I don’t know why they can’t leave a character that didn’t have a nose alone, the prime characters had the same issue amongst many others, they aren’t G1 so stop trying to make them look G1 >:(
me too
oh really? yeah people have been commenting on that face sculpt...
hahaahaha glad you enjoyed it bro!
Great review! God bless you and yours!
thanks so much!
This is perfection! They finally gave us a legacy figure that nails the show’s design while giving us better articulation.
If the upcoming animated figures are as good as this then we’ll be eating good boys
definitely bro!
let's hope so!
I was HATING thing when I saw the stock photos. I just reviewed her myself and I actually have a lot of good things to say about her.
yeah, this figure was definitely a surprise!
She's a tricky one, on one level it annoys me that she's a remould it screws up some details that didn't need to be screwed up by that, but on the other hand the vehicle mode is fairly accurate and she is pretty well painted and she's certainly a better job than say Knockout was.

I agree bro
yeah, clearance is always best bro...I'm pretty sure she'll be warming the pegs since everyone's just after bombshell in this wave and maybe detritus...
Now we need an RID Bumblebee and OP now.
yes agree!
When you see it in toy form it looks much better than the promo images.
oh definitely !
I love RID2015
same !
I like this figure 100% 10/10.
awesome bro! happy hunting!
i love this figure
me too!
I want it, I want it, give me all of it! Ahhhh!!!
hahahahaha happy hunting man!
gotta be the best evo fusion so far 🔥🔥🔥
hahahaha yes!
Wow it seems like people like this but everyone hated on Minerva so bad
minerva wasn't that bad...
transformers legacy evolution universe cyberverse chromia and windblade figures
ok

perhaps
that's cool bro, I'm sure the original had some sentimental value for you... I'd do the same...
👏👏👏
Strongarm Is Pretty cool
indeed!
i dont think i like that, there was so little that needed to be done to g1-ify this character since she's blocky to begin with, but the head is the one thing that probably should have been changed and they did the worst thing of just adding a nose
ok man, valid points...
Looks great... but the lips look a bit weird to me for some reason
oh ok bro... doesn't bother me as much, but I think I know what you mean...
Why does it kinda look like rotb transit 😂
oh really?
Same as Legacy Elita-1 and Minerva.
yes, but not quite
so small figure, small blaster and no evo fusion gimmick...well done, Hasbro!
hahahaha but really this is cool figure!
Prime
yes
I just want to comment and say I hate you for still having a Toys R Us!
hahahaha
well, toys r us Asia is not really affiliated with the US parent company... various asian retailers merely paid royalties to use the brand and store name... so completely independent with regard operations and financing... that's why they're still around...
transformers legacy evolution earth spark arcee robot mode figure
ok
This dude had to be wirking st hasbro to be getting figures this fast
I don't work for hasbro
this wave popped up here in Manila at our Toys R Us stores and I picked them up. if you watched the entirety of the video you'd know that..
also this wave has been out in Asian countries for some time now.. actually warming the pegs...
