I felt for BMac in this one. He sounded so exasperated when talking about the leaks and even had to bemoan the fact that things were selling out on Pulse before the stream even started.
Proper order of Turtles is important. It's the theme song order. I have 6 Party Wallops on pre-order and the 4-pack, though I just want orange Tarantulas from that.
Idk why people treated Buzzworthy Bumblebee like a Toyline… it is so obviously just the name for Target exclusives up until now and since it was implemented. It was not a Toyline to be treated like a cohesive brand, it was just a way for Target to get exclusives across every line in TF. So silly that people call it a toyline
Oh hey look, something revealed this morning that the recapped IN THE STREAM ARE YOU KIDDING ME! That said, I only got to see bot modes then. So the stream reveal is helpful.
I'm sure a bunch of people already said this, but Party Wallop should have just been based on Metalhead. There was even an unreleased design for an old school Party Wagon that did transform into a giant Metalhead.
8:00 Actually that's not changed. They took the Chase nozzle and the claw base and combined them. Also just saying, that nozzle and claw on the other arm could in the future make a good Lockdown claw hand.
Personally, if you put the nozzle and claw in the right places on the arms, then Cliffjumper could have his own set of retractable arm-mounted climbing picks.
@@TornaitSuperBird Lockdown's key is his height. Yes, Animated has different proportions, but they're trying to stick to the heights if I recall right.
Of that 4 pack, I only want Squeezeplay. As for the order of the Turtles, the Konami TMNT games disagree. Yes I know the theme song has them that way, but the player select screen, or where you insert your quarter on the arcade machine says otherwise.
My guess for a future full Horribull update would be a retool of either TR Weirdwolf or Skullcruncher since they’re the only two headmaster beastformers in the deluxe scale we have to make a Horribull from.
Regardless if you love or hate leakers, you can't blame them for when figures are already revealed via other companies or just out on shelves, which covers about 50% of all these streams.
Technically no...? If we're talking listings then yes. But if we're talking about the actual toys, we didn't see any of the multipack or the turtle crossover until now
The Cliff/Protorantulas/Tarn/Squeezeplay pack is frustrating to me. On one hand, I love how Cliffjumper turned out and this set doesn’t have a less-than-good figure aside from Squeezeplay/Cancer/Crashbash (and even then he’s got an impressive amount of retooling). On the other hand, I wish I didn’t have to spend $80 just to get Cliffjumper. But then again, Cliff, Protorantulas and Squeezebashcancer are at about Titans Return Deluxe pricing if Tarn is going for modern Voyager prices still… heck with it, I’ll cave. I like the Tarn/Bludgeon mold and love the Tarantulas mold enough to double dip on both.
As soon as I heard that the Party Wagon could turn into each of the Turtles, I thought about a third party company making a Last Ronin head. Wouldn't complain about a repaint, though. I'm probably just getting one, because... money... and space. Plus, it feels a bit weird to me to have multiple of what's meant to be a unique vehicle. But happy for those who will have their fleet of Party Wagons.
I was messing around with my Draculus figure today. It's works OK configured like Squeezeplay, but there are 2 things I would have done to make it fit better. 1 - The stubby beast legs are crap. They can be configured better by turning them around and using the forearm parts as feet. So I would have just engineered the robot arms differently. And when I get mine, I'm going to try replacing the arms with the ones from Power of the Primes Sinnertwin. 2 - The hips are too narrow for beast mode. I would have re-engineered the hips to be able to split and sit lower and farther apart. Bonus 3 - I'm hoping the monster head is just mistransformed. But if it really does sit that high, then yeah, it needs to be able to shift down.
There is still more Studio Series figures to be made for the Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Predacons Rising Movie and Transformers: Prime The Game for the Studio Series Gamer Edition line.
Shockwave is finally coming out for preorder, because he's not even out for preorder or in hand in Australia! We got nothing with that, and Cybertron Sideswipe just came out, and we're still waiting for the Sunstreaker too!
That interview was painful!! They really need to get some representation, such as yourself, that shows some depth in their reveals. If their prompter stopped, they wouldn't know what to do.
Definitely getting Party Wallop. I'm also planning to get Ectotron, Gigawatt and Maverick. And many any other new Transformers Collaborative characters based on famous vehicles from the 80s movies, tv shows and cartoons.
Amazed how well the Turtle one came out like the van mode is legitimately perfect and my only minor complaint would be the head being kinda blocky like maybe they could have rounded it out a bit more.
If it makes you feel better, Mark did hint he's interested in doing an Animated Universe Lockdown, so who knows. Aside from a new mould, what else could they use besides Chase? Also, Chase has more features derived from RotF Lockdown than Prime Cliffjumper.
Pre-Ordered Party Wallop the moment I woke up and saw it hadn't sold out on BBTS. Just the one, bu definitely a crossover I've been itching for a long time, and one done well, at a reasonable price, all things considered.
I don’t mind getting a repaint of tarantulas, and another Titan master in order to have the figure that the chase mold was designed for, as well as a tarn figure with no clear plastic in sight.
At least, that’s what I think is going on. Has bro, please don’t make me have to buy multiples of the other three figures in the set, just so that way, I can basically do a trial and error kind of thing with tarn and that chest plate.
Holy crap, it's b een like twelve hours since the turtle van preorders went live, and Amazon alone already reports over 2000 sold. I guess people really love the turtles! Not that I'm any different, if I had the cash to drop I'd put in for four of them myself 😜
I don't think it was Hasbro's fault necessarily. The other sources were given the info prior and a street date. They probably didn't say anything about letting Hasbro put it out first before them. They either didn't know or they didn't pay attention/listen. Btw, it's not actually a new piece for Cliff. It's the same accesories, but you can take the base of the claw weapon, attach one of what were Chase's arm "cannons" onto the side of it and it kinda pulls off the look of Cliff's 3-barrel cannon hand.
Only 1 Wallop for me. I'm going to customize him into Metalhead. The original unreleased toy was gonna be called Muta-Party Wagon. So I guess I'll call him Mutagon Metallicus.
I’m surprised at the use of Mindwipe for Squezeplay. I’d have bet money on a Repugnus retool. Makes me wonder if in a couple years, we’ll see Horribull grafted onto Weirdwolf.
As long as it doesn't STILL have the same QC problems. Mindwipe's soft rubber goes brittle after a while and Weirdwolf's hatch is so poorly designed it's rare for it NOT to crumble off right out of the package.
Also sorry, as an 03 TMNT fan I prefer an alternate order. Leonardo's always in control The wise guy is Michelangelo Donatello, he's the brains of the bunch. Count on Raphael to throw the first punch.
I just wish for if they do another turtles figure, they use another incarnation of the turtles I mean I think we got to the point where people who grew up on the 2003 turtles team are getting to the point where they’re going to be collectors and considering that for legacy, they are using unicorn trilogy animated and aligned continuities I think doing something from the same time. Would be cool.
This 4 pack is odd the previous creature one did have a theme of goldBUG vs other bugs but this idk what the theme is here. Prime cliff jumper, concept tarantulas, squeeze play, and cyberverse tarn that’s a very odd bunch can’t really find a theme. 3 of these in the pack tarantulas, squeeze, and CV tarn sure why not very obscure version (maybe besides tarn) to throw into a multi pack but why legacy Prime cliff jumper? If we have gotten cliff jumper in the mainline and this multi pack was a battle damaged or zombicon/tainted version then see no issue but this is just prime cliff jumper so will we see it again in mainline cause it looks very cool but idk if I wanna spend money on a multi pack for cliff jumper This also may hint towards buzzworthy replacement which no problem cause that line was random repaints as target exclusives most could’ve probably gone to gen selects cause the bumble bee line kinda lacking in bumblebees
i have a lot of problems with that tarn, his colors are horribly off (he wasnt ever blue in the finale) and the smile is way too thick, the smile worked because it walked the line between missable and noticable, which this release doesn't do a good job with
The Tarn is a little disappointing to me. It's Cyberverse which means people are going to want to troop build this as the Perfect Decepticons. That's an expensive Troop builder when you have to buy him with 3 other figures you're not going to want copies of. He comes with Bludeon's sword randomly which is something he never had in the cartoon. There is an accessory Cyberverse Tarn is associated with that they could have included instead of the sword which is the Cortex Helm. If they remolded him to have Tarn's battle damage from the show and gave him the Cortex Helm as an accessory he could wear this would be SO MUCH BETTER. It's understandable why they didn't give him the ONE ARM he had in the show but that's just mushroom pegged in, so you could still remove his left arm to achieve that look. I was also disappointed that he barely looks any different from IDW Tarn but I did go back and look at the animation models for Cyberverse and this is accurate to how he looks in the show. I just wish this version was sold separately or in a 3 pack as a set of "Perfect Decepticons" and Tarn was remolded to have the battle damage that makes him stand out from the rest. The Ninja Turtles Party Wagon looks really good. Honestly, I'm never going to call him Part Wollup, that's Metal Head. I'm likely going to keep him with the Mickey mask on because Metal Head was modeled after him and also he was always my favorite anyway. I am slightly disappointed with the packaging. I was hoping they would replicate the packaging of the original Party Wagon toy I had as a kid or put him in a pizza box like Code Red, either way he'd have an actual box. Replicating the Party Wagon packaging would be very nostalgic for me because I had that toy as a kid but the biggest issue I have with this is that it's carded so it can't be resealed back in the packaging. If it was a box rather than being carded I could use the packaging to store the extra masks in and the crossover packaging up to this point has been really nice, I'd like to keep it, but this is going to end up in the trash cause once you open a carded figure the packaging just isn't functional and doesn't look good anymore. I usually don't care that much about packaging but I do really like what they've done with these crossovers and this isn't up to the same quality I expect. I'm also looking forward to Ectotron because I missed the first release of that figure. I looked it up by the way and it seems to be just a re-release of the original version except the product photo is showing him with the proton blaster of the Afterlife version. Or maybe it's the same proton blaster and he's just holding it differently? Cause the product photos for the original show him holding it the way the Ghostbusters do in the movie but the later releases show him holding it like a regular gun and it just doesn't look right to me. At any rate I wanted this guy, I could never find it and I didn't realize at the time that Game Stop doesn't actually carry them in the story to just pick up, you have to have a pre-order already and then you can pick it up from the store. At least at the Game Stops I visited they said they didn't have in stock that weren't already sold and wouldn't be getting more unless I put in a preorder. And since I was 400 miles away from where I live at the time and would only be there for a week it wasn't worth it to try to place a preorder at that location. It was really a huge hassle to try to get it. Now the question is... is he still a Game Stop exclusive? And the answer is yes so I guess I'm going to go place a pre-order so I can get one this time. And I HAVE A BINGO! Diagonal from top to bottom Non Toy Reveal, Preorder Today, Free Space, No Earthspark Reveals, and Space Bridge reveals. I almost had TWO bingos but I needed Another Optimus Prime to fill out the entire B column.
Update: I went to Game Stop today and Pre-ordered Ectotron. I also checked Hasbro Pulse for Party Wollop which shows he's already sold out even though it won't be shipped out till October and I've noticed resellers already have listings for him on e-bay. TFWiki says Party Wallop is suppose to be out in July but Hasbro's own web site says October so I'm confused. It looks like Party Wallop is going to be avalible at a few different stores though so I'm going to hold on that one and hope I can get one when it's actually released.
In the case of the 4-pack, it really highlights how broken the entire Hasbro system is. By the time the livestream got to it to announce it would be available at 1 for Premium, it had already been sold out for hours. So the release card was a bald-faced lie. It was not available at 1. It was LONG GONE. Same with the Origins Wheeljack and the Filch from previous weeks. And then they still have the audacity to claim Hasbro is "where fans come first". These are not professional standards, it's just sloppy and amateurish. If anyone should have this crap figured out by now it's Hasbro, yet they're the least capable manufacture in the industry. I at least got the 4-pack (I know he doesn't look great, but I'm a sucker for those Master Force guys) and Filch, still trying to find a way to get that Wheeljack.
That (pre recorded) conversation between Kelly and Matt was incredibly depressing to watch, he just didn’t want to be there, and had to anyway. Huge waste of stream time, and just felt really corporate and shitty.
Look. I didn’t watch the live stream, but it pisses me off that you criticize what a creative has to say about his process. I’ve heard you complain about how hard it is to come up with content for a video everyday. You don’t know what goes into designing a GOOD poster vs a GOOD album cover. I joke around with you but square vs rectangle is just ignorant. And you wonder why hasbro doesn’t care about your opinion.

Party Wagon as-is feels like Metalhead got the best upgrade ever. He can even copy the other turtle's fighting styles, like his 2000s incarnation.
Yeah, that's why I only ordered the one. Metalhead makes more sense and I already have my turtles.

The Cliff/Protorantulas/Tarn/Squeezeplay pack is frustrating to me.

I like the Tarn/Bludgeon mold and love the Tarantulas mold enough to double dip on both.
It looks like the party wallop has storage for the alternate heads in the shell.
Cliffjumper's triple barrel is just using Chase's accesories in a clever way.
I hope we get a Technodrome Transformer.
As soon as I heard that the Party Wagon could turn into each of the Turtles, I thought about a third party company making a Last Ronin head. Wouldn't complain about a repaint, though.

It's works OK configured like Squeezeplay, but there are 2 things I would have done to make it fit better.
1 - The stubby beast legs are crap. They can be configured better by turning them around and using the forearm parts as feet. So I would have just engineered the robot arms differently. And when I get mine, I'm going to try replacing the arms with the ones from Power of the Primes Sinnertwin.
2 - The hips are too narrow for beast mode. I would have re-engineered the hips to be able to split and sit lower and farther apart.

A repaint in last ronin colors would be incredible for party wallop
Those Autobot and Decepticon medallions look like power coins.
i knew it! Chase was totally going to end up as Cliffjumper!
I always viewed Squeezplay's monster mode as a mutated crab. Plays into his name and also fits better with his Japanese name of Cancer.
Can we please only buy one turtle wagon each? I don't want everyone to pre-order 4 and then I can't have one.
They didn't change Cliffjumper's weapons, they just configured the parts that were already there differently
I love the Chase mold and I love this Cliffjumper but I absolutely hate the little wings that this mold has.
I have one thing to say about Party Wallop:
Cowabunga and roll out!
I am going to need to buy 4 Turtle vans 😅

I looked it up by the way and it seems to be just a re-release of the original version except the product photo is showing him with the proton blaster of the Afterlife version. Or maybe it's the same proton blaster and he's just holding it differently? Cause the product photos for the original show him holding it the way the Ghostbusters do in the movie but the later releases show him holding it like a regular gun and it just doesn't look right to me. At any rate I wanted this guy, I could never find it and I didn't realize at the time that Game Stop doesn't actually carry them in the story to just pick up, you have to have a pre-order already and then you can pick it up from the store. At least at the Game Stops I visited they said they didn't have in stock that weren't already sold and wouldn't be getting more unless I put in a preorder. And since I was 400 miles away from where I live at the time and would only be there for a week it wasn't worth it to try to place a preorder at that location. It was really a huge hassle to try to get it. Now the question is... is he still a Game Stop exclusive? And the answer is yes so I guess I'm going to go place a pre-order so I can get one this time.
And I HAVE A BINGO! Diagonal from top to bottom Non Toy Reveal, Preorder Today, Free Space, No Earthspark Reveals, and Space Bridge reveals. I almost had TWO bingos but I needed Another Optimus Prime to fill out the entire B column.
Update: I went to Game Stop today and Pre-ordered Ectotron. I also checked Hasbro Pulse for Party Wollop which shows he's already sold out even though it won't be shipped out till October and I've noticed resellers already have listings for him on e-bay.
TFWiki says Party Wallop is suppose to be out in July but Hasbro's own web site says October so I'm confused. It looks like Party Wallop is going to be avalible at a few different stores though so I'm going to hold on that one and hope I can get one when it's actually released.
have one and paint it black for slash
In the case of the 4-pack, it really highlights how broken the entire Hasbro system is. By the time the livestream got to it to announce it would be available at 1 for Premium, it had already been sold out for hours. So the release card was a bald-faced lie. It was not available at 1. It was LONG GONE. Same with the Origins Wheeljack and the Filch from previous weeks. And then they still have the audacity to claim Hasbro is "where fans come first". These are not professional standards, it's just sloppy and amateurish. If anyone should have this crap figured out by now it's Hasbro, yet they're the least capable manufacture in the industry.
I at least got the 4-pack (I know he doesn't look great, but I'm a sucker for those Master Force guys) and Filch, still trying to find a way to get that Wheeljack.
That (pre recorded) conversation between Kelly and Matt was incredibly depressing to watch, he just didn’t want to be there, and had to anyway. Huge waste of stream time, and just felt really corporate and shitty.
I’m a normie. So I had to wait till 2 to order Shockwave.
Why does Party Wallop have 5 fingers?
23:16 The Peter Principle and nepo babies ruining things yet again.
B.I.N.G.O. 😊
Look. I didn’t watch the live stream, but it pisses me off that you criticize what a creative has to say about his process. I’ve heard you complain about how hard it is to come up with content for a video everyday. You don’t know what goes into designing a GOOD poster vs a GOOD album cover. I joke around with you but square vs rectangle is just ignorant. And you wonder why hasbro doesn’t care about your opinion.
Not interested in videos of things I can't buy.
...kinda weird to follow a channel that primarily focuses on that exact thing then...
