Fantastic review Chefatron!!! The four year wait since SS86 Grimlock was released was worth it for Swoop and completing the Dinobots team. :D Keep on being amazing.
Any Transformer that looks or resemblance the 80's animated series is ALWAYS 100% perfectly fine with me. All Transformer fans out there, enjoy the goodness!
My theory is that pre-orders sold so well that they had to increase production. This explains why some stores got Springer ahead of Swoop, even though Swoop is supposed to be in the wave before Springer.
I've been picking these up for my wife (she loves the Dinobots), and cannot wait for Swoop's arrival to complete the group. Looks great! Solid review as always, thanks! 👍
oh awesome! I'm glad you share this hobby with your wife... my wife's hobbies include Hermes, Chanel, and Dior LOL thanks so much buddy! I appreciate you 😀
this guy hits HARD for us collectors in the UK and Ireland as back in the day Swoop was the ONE dinobot they never released here so i cant wait for him to hit the stores. funny thing is though this time around Grimlock was the one bot in my area not to get a store release !
Still an instant purchase…. However, why on earth couldn’t hastak get each dinobot a gun AND a sword? I mean we got that awful wheelie and Daniel (?) in exo-suit, so why couldn’t that all have a blaster and sword. Snarl is missing a blaster and we have will have to buy comic book exclusive Grimlock to get enough swords. What were they thinking?
definitely ! yeah, budget issues... have you seen the pulse exclusive comic book grimlock? he comes with 3 swords... I mean what the actual F right? LOL
Thanks for the video Chef!!! What an awesome presence this figure has!!! These Dinobots are the definitive version no doubt!!!! Both modes look on point unlike SS86 Ultra Magnus that the truck mode is perfect but the robot mode is off in size!
9:25 it's tight the first time you do it but it gets easier every time afterwards! 😂 That cracked me up. Nice video btw 👍. Looking forward to Swoop completing my Dinobots in August when Hasbro release him here in the UK in August
I just got this guy today and finally have the whole set, and they look great. Im ready to get the set again if they re-release them in toy colours with chrome.
So glad this guy came with Grimlock's Sword. Remember the Grimlock had a figure with it which many probably didn't want. So if they ever re-release Grimlock again for those who missed it I suggest to Hasbro to just put the sword in with him this time instead of the figure. I still remember the first time I got my SS86 Grimlock and impressed by the sheer heft of the figure. Now that Swoop is finally here, he completes the team as the bombing run guy. Does anyone think if they re-release these guys again they should actually use chrome paint like the 1980s figures? Man I miss chrome paint. Having shiny metallic dinobots would probably make colectors rebuy these guys again as the "premium finish" editions.
@@unknownunknown7393 They recently re-released Masterpiece Optimu Prime (MP44S) with toy-accurate colors. IE the "pants" are silver painted. So that might happen if the demand is high. But what I am talking about is "premium finish". (the fancy word for giving the re-release a better paint job. Eg there was a Premium Finish TF Bumblebee Novie Optimus Prime with the black window wipers and silver painted legs)
totally agree with you bro glad you got yourself a grimlock impossible to find one now i doubt hasbro will re-release these with chrome, but i'm hoping takara tomy will
I would love to see Hasbro do legacy leader class versions of Scarr and even Scorn, I know there was only an AOE version of Scorn but I have seen some G1 style fan images of him online and he would look great.

thanks so much! brother, oh yeah sooo happy to have all of them!!!
@@chefatron You're welcome my friend!! :D

oh yes for sure bro! definitely !
Good thing he's available everywhere and not sold out at all.
awesome !
The preorder sold out hella quick. Still keeping a eye out for one
@@scottblanco5991 happy hunting man!

oh man, I didn't know that....
oh wow! I think hasbro is re-releasing grimlock but in limited quantity at certain online stores only?
Damn good looking figure chefatron. Great pickup and review 😮👍
thanks buddy 😀

Fantastic shots and poses, great review as always! 👍👍
salamat bro!!!
What stand are you using for flight mode
it's the one that came with the TenSeg Base Optimus Prime by Takara Tomy
Thanks for the video Chef!!!
What an awesome presence this figure has!!! These Dinobots are the definitive version no doubt!!!! Both modes look on point unlike SS86 Ultra Magnus that the truck mode is perfect but the robot mode is off in size!
no prob, brother!
oh defiinitely!
I do like that Ultra Magnus, though...
9:25 it's tight the first time you do it but it gets easier every time afterwards! 😂 That cracked me up. Nice video btw 👍. Looking forward to Swoop completing my Dinobots in August when Hasbro release him here in the UK in August
hahahahaha
thanks so much bro
'hope you get yours soon!
Uncle chef .. do you think it's weak that they can't articulate even 4 digits on the hands ?
So excited to get one. Awesome review 🤩
happy hunting / pre-ordering man, thanks so much!
Can't wait to have the whole set. I have one on pre order for the 1st next month. I really hope it actually shows up lol
awesome! hope you get it soon!
Haven't seen Swoop in the Ohio Stores yet.
happy hunting man, I've seen online posts that he and springer have started popping up in the US
Loving Swoop! Hoping for a re-release of 86 Ultra Magnus since I feel distribution of him was lacking.
awesome !
yeah, I'm sure they'll re-release him somewhere... usually entertainment earth and pulse....
I just got this guy today and finally have the whole set, and they look great.
Im ready to get the set again if they re-release them in toy colours with chrome.
awesome score! happy for you bro
oh yeah, me too
I hope takara tomy does it, since hasbro's too cheap to spend on vac-metal chrome paint apps...
I have two in pre-order, I doubled dip all the Dinos
Same here.
oh awesome ! yeah sometimes the online shops cancel... like my retro card beach head... amazon really @#$%-ed up my order... and now it's in limbo...
Call me SWOOP!
Me swoop say buy me now! Ko dinobots lang ako oversized version on the combiner one.
oo bro wait mo na lang may 3rd party company na mag-OS KO nitong mga 'to!
After Gigasaurs every other Dinobot looks mid.
perhaps
What flight stand do you recommend for Swoop?
something solid that can hold his weight
So glad this guy came with Grimlock's Sword. Remember the Grimlock had a figure with it which many probably didn't want.

The chrome edition could be for a Masterpiece edition. They need to re release Grimlock again as i dont have it lol

totally agree with you bro
glad you got yourself a grimlock
impossible to find one now
i doubt hasbro will re-release these with chrome, but i'm hoping takara tomy will
@@chefatron chrome is super rare paint. Last time it was used was on a Jetfire figure I hade.
can't wait to get him......definitely getting 2
awesome ! happy hunting man!
Does anyone know what stand he is using + the connector piece?
it's the stand that came with the Ten-Seg Base Optimus Prime by Takara Tomy
Hey Chef how’s it going? As always on point bud
not too bad man... not too good either...
thanks for asking
oh thank you so much my friend, I appreciate you !
Looks great except the head peg yikes!!
perhaps
Pterodactyl
yes
11 out of 10? Which figure did you gave that score to? XD
SS86 Swoop is 9.5/10 tops for me due to flaws you have mentioned in this review.
oh I've given plenty of figures that rating bro
that's cool man
I would love to see Hasbro do legacy leader class versions of Scarr and even Scorn, I know there was only an AOE version of Scorn but I have seen some G1 style fan images of him online and he would look great.
perhaps... yeah, I'm sure those figures are a win for hasbro
yeah, I'm sure legacy versions of them would look amazing!
This will Repaint in Shattered Glass, Generation 2, and Rescue Bot Blades.
I just hope they repaint all of them in G1 toy accurate colors with the silver and gold chrome vac-metal paint apps
Thanks for the great review! I'll keep re-watching until mine arrives!
no prob man, I hope yours arrives soon!
I have him preordered at 4 different places. I can’t wait to have him in hand.
awesome ! good strategy bro!
I missed out on the first three but got snarl want swoop bad maybe a self birthday gift 2 weeks to try
oh happy birthday man!
I'm sure hasbro will re-release all these dinobots down the road...
The only dinobot required by law to be in robot mode
oh really?
@@chefatron yah watch the movie he spends almost as much time in robot mode. Including the dance party on junkion
@@NearingLight I see...
Looks great! Can't wait for my pre-order to arrive!
awesome ! 'hope you get it soon!
pinakamahinang Dinobot!
oh really? na panood mo ba yung episode ng first appearance nila? slang dalawa ni Snarl pinakilala sa mga autobots at nilampaso nila mga autobots....
@@chefatron yes. kaso liability sa kanya yung wings nya.
It’s preordered for sure. Can’t wait!
awesome! I hope you get it soon!
Felicidades completastes a los 5 Dinobots
muchas gracias mi amigo
😎🎊🎉💯👏
thank you my friend 😀
too bad that Snarl is the only one with no gold face paint and looks out of place from the rest
yeah, I didn't notice that at first... thanks for pointing it out...
i still love the Studio Series Dinobots and they did a great job designing them.
Swoop my fellow Dinobot
indeed
Great review! Can’t wait to get mine! What kind of flight stand were you using for him?
awesome! thanks so much!
the stand that came with the Ten-Seg Base Optimus Prime by Takara Tomy
Bandai and Takara Tomy were really cooking with the SS86 Dinobots.
yes perhaps...
