Some Old Toys Just Aren’t Worth Tracking Down | #transformers ROTF Bumblebee And Soundwave
Hasbro made a whole episode to promote this two pack.
Cybermissions
@@Deathbot884yes! I remember there was one for bludgeon and ironhide too
Holy fuck, I tried to remember the name of this episodes for almost a year now. I knew I wasn’t going crazy!
Insignificant buzzing Bumblebee
That's how bad the set is 💀
In 2027 and 2029, both the 2007 and ROTF toys will be considered vintage.
ROTF toylines were awesome time to be a collector
@@IhavethetouchTell me about it. I was still too young for 2007, but I was very present for the ROTF era. It’s the whole reason why I started collecting. I was able to buy some figures I have always wanted off eBay quite recently.
Shut up bruh 😢
They already are considered vintage
@@spoopy29 Yeah but statistically speaking, it takes 20 exact years for an item to be vintage. That’s why toys from Transformers Armada and Energon today are known as vintage but not Cybertron just yet. Those toys have one more year to go.
Soundwave's missile is Ravage in his casset.. flying thing mode, that's pretty clever. And bumblebee's legs are straight up the original movie 1 deluxe legs lol
Now to be fair,
I would’ve given the show straight A’s if every episode had Soundwave blaring the Top Gear theme as a weapon.
Imagine if he just rick rolls people lol
4:04 he hittin the polnareff pose
That was my first thought too 😂 always got the Jojo’s reference part of my brain on full power
Same, peak anime
Oh damn he is too lmao
I swear that bumblebee is the most knocked off mold i ever seen. I seen mold in oversized version and with generic blaster sound effect.
I actually have what I believe to be a black and grey DOTM repaint of this mold of bumblebee, and he came with a little sam that could ride in him, but the windshield was so bendy during the transformation that it ended up snapped in half. One of these days bee is gonna get pulled over for driving around with half a windshield
Yes you are correct part of the human alliance toyline
2:23 TONIGHT, Bee its alone on the NEST HQ, James says Hello, and I drive Dino on the moon
And then I have tea with optimus and megatron and fix their marriage
Still looks easier to transform that the Studio Series Bumblebee
I had these guys when they came out. Mine didn't start out floppy , but I remember they got to be way faster than most of my other figures at the time, even considering my borderline abusive, ham-fisted play.
This Bee was a bit meh for me, but the gimmick is kinda cool, and you have unrestricted access to it in both modes, so it evens out.
Since renting G1 reruns throughout my early childhood, I've always loved Soundwave, and since I had a front row seat to the slow, agonizing death of tape-based media growing up, I've always been fascinated with what they came up with for his alt-mode to keep him relevant. Considering his origins as a media-based intelligence agent, a satellite was always the most logical update to me. That, and the fact that he's rocking a G1-adjacent paintjob was what ultimately won me over.
This set influenced me to pick up a couple more figures from this subline as well. Hasbro ran a mail-away promo here for an exclusive Ravage redeco. You just needed the order form, three of the lil stickers packed in with the figures, and $5. This set had the order form and one of the lil stickers, and everyone else in our limited stock just had one of the lil stickers. I remember I just barely got in at the tail-end the promo (I had I wanna say a week left, I think?). Our Wal-Mart had had the NEST figures just long enough to start putting them on clearance. It worked out though, cuz I was barely able to get in on the promo on my limited budget, and I effectively got Recon Ravage free-of-charge.
I mean tbf, that Soundwave deco is AMAZING
I literally just bought this 2-pack last week on eBay. Only got it because of the nostalgia of it. Mines included the patch and the sticker collecting booklet.
Soundwave is like T30 Rhinox, he has genuine jank in his legs but he gets a pass because he looks really cool lol
At least this ain't the bizarre repaint with the very KO lookin' face (the eyes are white with black pupils!!)...that thing was an even bigger abomimanation than the war crime that is Cannon Bumblebee.
I need to see how bad that looks do you know the name
The audacity ppl have to hate on the bayverse SS Soundwave when this thing exist:
Right lol,
SS Soundwave is a figure I really want in my collection, a lot of people hate it and I honestly don't get why.
nah ss rotf soundwave looks GROSS. this one is way cooler proportionally
Yeah lol. SS rotf Soundwave sucks . Idc how well he poses. He looks like nothing in either mode
@MTC-hy6ig I NEED to try whatever you are smoking 😂...
@Vengeance041 I have him but the satellite mode is pretty bad yet that's supposed to be the better version not the worst
4:52 The Last Knight Bumblebee gimmick 🤯💥
Lol
I believe some of that weird back kibble may be meant to replicate the "winglets" on his CG model.
I still have that soundwave, I got him at Savers for like $2 10 years ago.
Always had a soft spot for Soundwave. My first ROTF figure
I have the weird DOTM cloudy clear yellow plastic version of that Bumblebee and he is indeed crap
The bumblebee has so much in common with the 07 figure. The legs are the same and I noticed a few other components that were similar to the 07. And then the car mode looks basically identical
When I was a kid I used to fan mode my Soundwave into a dragon thing
I don't have him anymore but that was fun
At least your canon bumblebee isn't the clear plastic one that is braking itself.
Bro!!! I still have this exact version of Soundwave and this video helped me remember where I got it from. I did sell my Bumblebee. I remember even as a child that I wasn't as impressed with him but he was my only Bee so I got a lot of enjoyment from him.
THIS was my bumblebee figure, I was huge into bumblebee and was stoked when I got this as one of my first transformers toys... and he stinks lmao. Absolutely hate the transformation and the chest looks terrible. The best part is that I have absolutely zero memory of the soundwave figure, you could tell me I mistook it for garbage and threw it out with the box. I've been working on recollection my original figures and I got all of them, except for soundwave. He isn't expensive or rare I just don't care.
7:17 huh.... never realised how much that shared with the 07 bee till just then ( never had the rotf bee)like i thought it looked simmilar in robot but the moment i saw the legs transform it clicked
I prefere the old packaging cuz at least u know it's sealed and accessories can't be stolen which seems to be an unfortunate and continuous thing. also, I like that version of soundwave
With the new packaging standards for the Studio Series line, your worries have been alleviated.
Honestly? I love the look of that soundwave. He looks so cool! 😅
I was actually just looking for that Soundwave. But then i remembered how awkward he is to do anything with
I used to have this when i was a kid lol
i have the vanilla version of soundwave and his hips don't do THAT on mine so i really like him!
Now that you said it I can swe it dose look wide and it looks like one of my fat Lego builds
Nah, that edit at 0:53 totally messed me up! I didn’t notice it and thought the box had the figures on both sides! 😂 great editing! Had to do a double take twice
A wave of nostalgia for the packaging alone
I do miss these kinds of two packs and three packs, always felt awesome to pick one of these up at Toys r us as a kid
I've had that Soundwave for a year now and I used to have it in my childhood and just now I'm learning it has ankle joints.
Memories of this set from my youth just flooded back...One of the car panels snapped on the Bee after very little play and I was nooootttt happy.
I recently was cataloguing my movie toys and I thought this Soundwave was great, didn't notice any issue with the hips and the colours are great and the backpack and shoulders give you a lot of options for posing.
I feel like all Soundwave needs is a touch of Pledge in his hips to be a fantastic figure
I’ve never felt more validated than seeing you using the GamesWorkshop nippers to cut the ties😭
Soundwave looks so stumpy that it looks adorable. Bro is a cutie.
Oh god, the childhood frustration that Bumblebee brings me
I’m ngl the Soundwave is genuinely one of my favorite figures in my entire collection
Damn that's nostalgic. I had that exact two pack and loved The Nest Patch! Always hated that, that BB's chest didn't pop out and orientate like the movie until I got Nitro BB during DOTM's run. Then the top of the hood broke and I got rid of it for a Barricade. The art of the deal. That soundwave mode does not have a good Robot mode but the Alt mode was very open to interpretation. Fun enough for an imaginative kid but as an adult I quickly traded him in as well.
It could just be nostalgia, but I remember there being a two pack of battle blade bumblebee and soundwave and I think I remember that being a better mold because at the time Battle Blade Bumblebee was my favorite toy that my little brother then tried to transform and broke while I was at church camp.
Ok but I fr like that design for soundwave
That looks sick
awe!!! i remember having that soundwave when i was a kid
I actually have a fair bit of nostalgia for Cyber Missions, I find it very charming
Used to have this 2 pack when I was a kid, figs were not the best but they were some of my favorite ROTF toys back in the day.
I like the design that Soundwave has in TF 2, unlike in 3, here he looks more like the Soundwave who is dedicated to espionage.
I remember buying this when I was younger
Empty space is necessary to keep the figures safe in case of any damages. Let's not ask Hasbro or any other toy companies to take away that space. Please.
I love watching your videos when I eat my dinner lol
I can vouch that the OG version of the cannon bumblebee mold is way nicer looking, his head is larger and very screen accurate and the yellow is a deeper shade
Okay but this and the Bumblebee vs Barricade pack was my childhood
Agree on bee. Do really like the legs and the weird hips but the unmasked normal variant look cool too and carmode ofc is badass
"but bumblebee just shoots him a lot and he fucking dies" kills me lmaooo
Must have been lucky as my RotF Soundeave never had any issues, though Im surprised theyve never touched on it again by using it as a basis for an Alpha Trion figure
I actually bought this set as well, Bumblebee for an alt mode display of cars and trucks that I *think* are to scale with one another, and Soundwave actually goes on my studio series shelf just bc I like a slightly bigger Soundwave
Honestly, despite its flaws I really like the Rotf Soundwave mold. I have the black version of it from Japan and love that thing. He looks so cool in robot mode. I love posing him around. Despite his size he definitely has a presence
I LOVED my RotF Soundwave growing up! I had the original, not this one. But still, I'd make him and my 2007 Bumblebee fight all of the time.
Still the best satellite Soundwave ever made.
4:08 lil bro hit the Polnareff pose 😮
i remember owning these as a kid....if only i had more braincells to know to take care of them
Soundwaves Angel mode with his flaming chest is hilarious. These are two figures I avoided like the plague during original retail. Used to have the original Concept Bee, but only kept the Battle Blades release though it's not the greatest either. DOTM Bee though is where I dropped off and getting him on clearance still one of the better attempts at movie Bee. Backpack is hinged mess but the look in both modes is spot on, and the plastic still feels great.
I remember wanted to get this set just for the Soundwave figure I wasn’t able to do it back in 2019, then I got the regular release of Soundwave not long later, but then a year later I replaced that figure with the Studio Series version.
This is my childhood memories 😭
I have a lot of love for Soundwave because he was one of my only ROTF toys. I really like the design but yeah the engineering was pretty bad, plus I think I had a faulty one where the knee had a hairline fracture that made it super easy to pop off one of his shins
Oh God I saw the shoulder canons and I knew exactly what Bumblebee toy that was. I have one version of that figure from a CVS two pack with a legion Grinder. The Grinder was more fun then the Bumblebee. I also have the mainline ROTF Soundwave figure. I got him in box and now he sits on my Soundwave shrine.
Bee car mode is really nice.
I hated that bumblebee mould both of the times I’ve had him he’d snap in half while i was transforming him
Got this pack back when I was a kid I loved it lol
My ROTF Soundwave. That is a you issue man.
If people thought I hated t30 Nightbeat….. I haven’t told my cannon bee stories. I thought I was crazy for hating it until I met more people in the community at cons. Not to mention it bastardizes one of my favorite molds ever.
We need more rotf stuff like where skids and mudflap or sideswipe
I just sold my soundwave funnily enough
Good. You got camber right at about 8:18
OMG I HAD THIS EXACT SET AS A KID! i used to love those bumblebee and soundwave figures to death lol
unfortunately i had to throw out the bumblebee cause he broke, although i gave soundwave to my brother so he's still good
Under 1 hour or 1 hour gang
👇
I need a movie bumblebee toy again
This thing is still a million times better then ss rotf soundwave, also got dayum maybe its because soundwave is a toy i like but he was nitpicky af in this one.
A figure I've not seen here is the 2007 and Rotf Ironhide. Its a fun figure imo
I got Soundwave when he first came out (in the light gray/blue deco), mine has zero issues with his hips/legs.
Bumblebee: a bit lame but fun
Soundwave: is an Anti-fun nonstanding idiot
Id love to see you review the various permutations of dotm mechtech bumblebee, like the cyberfire bee, nitro bee, etc
Oh man I used to have these. Sold them a very long time ago unfortunately
I never got the hate behind this Bee in particular
Awesome review, I remember having this set as a kid. Glad to see someone revisit this…… mediocre? 2 pack
I still like this Soundwave mold ngl
I used to own this and I still have the soundwave from it
I remember when I got this just to get the mail away ravage
FYI, soundwave is technically a triple changer. From the ROTF Game he has a "cybertronian ship" mode, which isn't great, but it is the best of all 3 modes. And that Bee? I literally hate that mold.
Soundwave reminds me of Pincher from Challenge of the GoBots.
I miss andrew D:
damn soundwave has a lot of allergies
Don't forget the mail away patch for getting this 2 pack... I'm sure they're out of stock now
I’ve been able to get these guys for ages but still HAVENT brought them
try hunting down The Legacy of Bumblebee 3 pack 2007, i remember getting it for christmas one year and absolutely loved it.
I had this and could never transform the Soundwave. Now they’re both trashed because my little brother destroys everything.
Edit: Now seeing how it’s supposed to work, I feel really stupid. It was so simple but I never figured out the instructions for some reason.
