Loved you review. And thanks because I'm 100% not getting it now. I was very excited when he was announced, then I got disappointed when I saw the mold, and after seeing a couple reviews...yeah, skip. I don't understand why hasbro won't do proper G1 Humans, you know, G.I Joe Classified style, or even the O'ring style. Anyway, your review was way better than the figure.
If I find one, in excellent condition, I'm sending him to you so you can take that crap one, connect him to a bottle rocket, and send him back to Moon Base 2 (AKA HASBLOW). Great Review, just unfortunate what happened to you.
That "word of warning" is legit! I almost threw away all the tiny scale size tranformers that came with that Jelly Purple Galvatron. They were also just kinda throw in and wrapped in tissue paper.
@@vortex_gaming3921 there is only so much that imagination can compensate for . Even if a person was balled up in the suit they would still be suffering from severe cramps after only a few minutes in it .
Wow! That’s really horrible! I may have to have one for a Halloween episode just for the sweet torture with Wheelie! What are they even thinking with this horrible trend of leaving holes in the heads of these guys? Great review, Patriot! Spike’s horrible! 😵💫😝
That was an absolutely SPOT ON REVIEW of Exo-Suit Spike (whom I'll henceforth call ESS for short) Patriot Prime! Top job, many thanks and seriously grateful for such an in-depth and witty look at him! So sorry it's been a super long and so sorry to chime in now and to wish you a Very Happy Belated Father's Day for yesterday! I did watch, Like and comment on your previous video of ESS, looooved it! * * * * * You bet nobody asked for ESS...especially since he turned out as disastrously as he did! I'm so sorry to you and everyone he disappointed in all these ways! You read my mind buddy, I too was thinking I'd only buy him if he was on clearance but even then, given how poorly he turned out, he still isn't worth buying! I may just hold put for a third party version that I'll be more than happy to pay a lot more for, no doubt at least one of those companies will attempt him! * * * * * ESS appears to be roughly the same scale and height as those human figures from the M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) toyline from the 80s. Those M.A.S.K. figures had unpainted faces (I owned a number of them along with the vehicle they came with), and given Hasbro absorbed Kenner, it's hard not to think maybe Hasbro is trying to emulate that in ESS, but that would be ridiculous on their part, it's 2022, not 1985! Ha ha I guess the unfortunate hole in EES's head makes a lot more sense though because like you said, his unpainted head makes him look weird and head (little rhyming for ya)! * * * * * Indeed never has there been a figure like ESS with a transformation sequence that is this complex (and fiddly) in a Transformer toy this small, to produce and alternate mode so disappointing. As if it the yellowing issue wasn't bad enough already. And those wheels rattling too danggggg poor ESS his wheels may pop off and cause him an accident! * * * * * Absolutely NOT indeed...nice touch with the added scream as you hurl poor ESS to his oblivion ha ha can't believe he is still alive after that hole in his head that Hot Rod probably put in like you said! * * * * * And last but not least, many thanks and seriously grateful to both you and Bert The Stormtrooper for that absolutely BRILLIANT collaboration promoting Toyhax's label set for Legacy G2 Laser Optimus Prime (whom I plan to buy one day, a MUST have), ha ha that RUclips Internet comedy magic! Although I never owned the original G2 Laser Optimus Prime - serious KUDOS to Bert for owning both it and the Legacy version - so sorry to you all was more a gamer in the 90s (still am, super looking forward to the upcoming Street Fighter 6) but I'm back into Transformers again as of at least 5 years ago, I can fully appreciate how these labels hit that nostalgic sweet spot and takes us all the way back to 1995, the reaction and look on Bert's face said it all, looooove it! Hope both you and him have a really nice week!
@@PatriotPrimeReviews Yeah, realized once I posted it I meant to add "as a kid." Especially with the whole "figure nobody asked for" part of the review.
@@DoctorOfSpice Gotcha, I thought for sure you were gonna blast me for the "Hot Rod shot Spike in the back of the head" joke saying "Hot Rod and Spike were not in the movie together. LOL!
@@PatriotPrimeReviews Haha, well thankfully Spike wasn't in any early scenes with Hot Rod and Megatron, although that scene with Daniel the blast effects came from was certainly a bit tense
Normally I don't Review figures I don't like just for time constraints, but since I had him on my desk already after showing the yellowing...I figured "What the Hell"
Two things. 1. SIGH! Another day. Another TF toy with QC issues. Considering how long it's been since RodimusPrimal put out his rant on it. Not to mention TFanpage talking about yellowing with certain figures. It's really maddening. And 2. Yeah. This should've been a smaller pack-in with a new G1 based Bumblebee toy (And put Exo-suit Daniel in a new Wheelie toy for good measure) Having this as a transforming toy is as weird to me as say the Quintesson Judge (They should've put the latter in the RED line instead IMHO)
They've seriously been dropping the ball with RED and non-transforming characters. But alas it's a big corporation and they not only didn't learn their lesson, but they increased the folly with that line by announcing closed boxes for that high QC issue line on the stream today
I remember wanting an exosuit toy back in 1986 after I saw the movie. I haven't thought about it much since then until this guy came out. I thought the Daniel that came with Slag was soulless... and I guess this is a step up from that, but it's still cruddy. It's like a KO or something. His little featureless face reminds me of the holographic drivers the Autobots had in the early Marvel books. Fortunately, mine doesn't seem to have any QC issues, but a bad figure is still a bad figure.
I really think spike should be miromaster size. He's human after all even in a mech suit he's not going to be as big as this figure. And yea Hasbro makes cheap junk and charges way too much for them.
I'm a bit torn about the eye paint. He definitely looks awful without any kind of application there. But after seeing 99% of the tiger pupils on Tigatron looking in totally different directions I have no confidence in their factory's ability to not make it worse by adding colorations
So no one is going to ask the obvious question of how can the exo-suit be ONLY a little bit taller than the human and transform WITHOUT breaking the human's arms and legs ? Imagination can ONLY be expected to explain so much even in a cartoon .
@@PatriotPrimeReviews I hate the head master idea but at least it made a little bit more since because it was similar to a full size battle armor / mobile suit giving the human companion room to move while the transformers went about their normal life . My problem with the head master idea is that you have robots that are thousands of years old and capable of building starships to travel the universe in and now that they have come into contact with humans they are all of a sudden to stupid to be able to function properly without human intervention .
I’m glad SOMEONE finally said how terrible this guy looks. Even when they first showed him - the lack of face or any features made him look like a glorified happy meal toy. I agree he looks like a “oh why not, someone will buy him” cash grab.
Absolutely...not! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Not a fan either PPR!! Very funny and yeah the figure is silly. Love the humour man!
On the bright side, he has screws in his back so you can open him up to gain access to his head by removing the dome and adjust his appearance a bit.

@@PatriotPrimeReviews It was worth the watch!

I bought 2 off of Amazon when they were on sale for $9, 1 for me and 1 for my son and both were 100% perfect, no discoloration.
Just my luck then.
got mine from amazon too. no issues, but i just got it as a birthday gift to myself to put on a shelf and forget about lol
@@PatriotPrimeReviews how can the exo-suit transform WITHOUT breaking the person's arms and legs ? It's only a little bit taller than the person !
@@craigalston2208 the person is balled up in the center of the suit
@@vortex_gaming3921 there is only so much that imagination can compensate for . Even if a person was balled up in the suit they would still be suffering from severe cramps after only a few minutes in it .
I think they did a better job with the Exo-Suit Daniel that came with Masterpiece Bumblebee, even though his face wasn't painted either.
Well, that was part of a Masterpiece figure and this is a Core-Class. Sadly for whatever reason Takara Tomy refuses to paint ANY human figure's face.
Looking forward to the eventual Toyhax review. Good job on this one. Also, can you hand me a CW Computron set of decals. It worked with the first guy.
Wow! That’s really horrible! I may have to have one for a Halloween episode just for the sweet torture with Wheelie! What are they even thinking with this horrible trend of leaving holes in the heads of these guys? Great review, Patriot! Spike’s horrible! 😵💫😝
TBF, I do want a decent Spike/Daniel, but mostly for the sake of completeness.
Got it for $9 on Amazon, I think it's not bad...
Yellow wicky
Icky Wicky
@@PatriotPrimeReviews ah crap thats so much better how did i miss it.
1st of all love the review keep up the good work. 2nd 1986 called they want there sun damaged toy back

i always wondered how this was anatomically possible
To quote Luke Skywalker, "What a piece of shit." I'm paraphrasing of course.
😆🤣😂
Well, if I didn't believe you didn't watch the 86 movie before this review I certainly do now.
Nope, seen it hundreds of times though.
@@PatriotPrimeReviews Yeah, realized once I posted it I meant to add "as a kid." Especially with the whole "figure nobody asked for" part of the review.

They say it's Spike, but he looks more like Daniel
Looks like he'll wake up in the sequel and find out he's been asleep for 70 years
I want more of these kind of videos that makes us avoid some figures not worth the price tag
Normally I don't Review figures I don't like just for time constraints, but since I had him on my desk already after showing the yellowing...I figured "What the Hell"
at least he has a face vs Daniel lol

Im curious, how tall does it stand Inches wise?
So no one is going to ask the obvious question of how can the exo-suit be ONLY a little bit taller than the human and transform WITHOUT breaking the human's arms and legs ? Imagination can ONLY be expected to explain so much even in a cartoon .
To be fair I did mention legs getting broken.

what's the point of the Action Feature, What is He looking at with No Eyes?
Great point! I didn't even think of that.
I’m glad SOMEONE finally said how terrible this guy looks. Even when they first showed him - the lack of face or any features made him look like a glorified happy meal toy. I agree he looks like a “oh why not, someone will buy him” cash grab.
You would think after the 86 dan. They would just stop trying this crappy crap.
