    I have the Tidal Wave redeco of TR Broadside and yes, the jet sucks a lemon, but it IS a really fun toy. Kinda wish his Titan Master's name had been Flattop for a G1 Micromaster Homage mixed in.

    Hey guys, hear me out:
    Wouldn't it be awesome if Gav and Chris Mcfeely did a crossover between their channels? Chris could do a TRDQ of, I don't know, Siege Omega Supreme (His favorite Transformer) and Gav could do a Basics episode on Repugnus.
    What do you think?

    I just discovered your channel and ended up binging all your content. I've got to say that you're quickly becoming my favorite TF reviewer on RUclips. I love how everything is straight and to the point and you don't take 15-20 minutes to talk about a figure(s). It's also great that you review transformers that are old and new.
    Plus, your accent makes the reviews a joy to just listen to. It's like Scrooge McDuck is gushing to me about his love for transformers. Pure awesomeness, keep this up!

    I remember having the G1 Broadside as kid and being extremely nonplussed. The jet was so bad, the robot so non-articlauted, the carrier so boring. Now, looking back, I admire the cheek of Hasbro releasing what is essentially a brick - I kind of love him.

  • @ArtificerOfSolus
    @ArtificerOfSolus 2 года назад +10

    Imma be an apologist for TR Broadside and his jet mode. It's looks pretty bad out the box but with the fins (carefully, because translucent plastic) flipped and the shoulders hinged down to their lower position, you get a much better, if still malformed, jet. There's also a fan mode with things straightened out that looks tons better even if it doesn't really peg together. Iirc the fan made jet mode looks so much better that there were theories floating around that it was the original planned jet mode and that last minute engineering changes are what left us with what we got in the end.

  • @Beedo_Sookcool
    @Beedo_Sookcool Год назад +1

    One of the great things about a collector community is that when someone has an idea -- like flipping the tailfins and rearranging the parts differently to get a much sleeker jet mode out of TR Broadside -- it gets shared, so we can all benefit.

  • @RHM087
    @RHM087 2 года назад +7

    Inspired me to get my TR Broadside out again; I have turned his red tail fins around so they make more sense in "jet" mode, painted Blunderbuss' visor red, and painted the Aerialbots he comes with. Might even pick up the Shapeways Alpha Bravo and Powerglide to go with them. [Also to get a better jet mode, just lay the legs out straight; they don't lock into anything that way, though; prop up the vehicle by attaching the gun on the underside peg; and be sure to put the shoulders back, it looked like yours were still in their aircraft-carrier position]

    God I love Titans return Broadside. I mean…
    C’mon.
    It’s an Aircraft Carrier Transformer. I’m imagining Blunderbuss as tall as Optimus, with Broadside himself rising out of the ocean, firing all of his munitions. And he looks so cool! The Jet mode is definitely the mode that got shafted but I got an excuse for it:
    Broadside is a *HEAVY* retool of Alpha Trizor. Which is a jet and a lion. And believe it or not, the jet mode became the Aircraft Carrier, while the lion was completely removed and replaced with a jet. Thus, a pretty ass looking alt mode is fine. Besides, we all know you were gonna have display him in his carrier mode anyways.
    The only reason I haven’t gotten this chonky lad yet is the price he goes for these days.
    But mark my words. The SECOND they announce an Avengers Quinjet/Helicarrier retool I am jumping RIGHT ON THAT SHIT. Especially if the headmaster is Fury.
    God I want a tiny Nick Fury headmaster.

  • @DanielThomasHutton

    I can't help feeling like the designers had a budjet reduction during broadsides production. They decided to make that jet mode as a protest.

  • @DragoonMS
    @DragoonMS 2 года назад

    Now, as a kid, the only one of the G1 Triple Changers I had was Astrotrain...and he was a blast to mess around with. One of my friends had Blitzwing, but the tank turret was missing, so he was effectively just another jetformer. Since I never had any of the others myself, I have no dog in the G1 Broadside fight.
    Titans Return Broadside (& Tidalwave!!) *definitely* should've been Leader class so his aircraft carrier mode would've made a little more sense...but for what we got (an extensive retool of Alpha Trion), it's okay. And like others have said, have the legs straightened out and the tail wings flipped to the proper orientation.
    But of all the modernized updates of the Triple Changers (including citybots/basebots), Siege Astrotrain has to be my favorite, followed by the Thrilling 30 Springer mold (Springer & Sandstorm), with Earthrise Snapdragon in fourth, followed by Siege Springer, TR Overlord mold (STILL annoyed that we didn't get a Thunderwing retool of the Black Shadow/Skyshadow version of the mold), TR Astrotrain mold (I have Sentinel Prime, but you KNOW this body mold was tailor made for Astrotrain!!), & TR Broadside. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

    Megatron turned from a 20ft robot to a handgun, so I never understood how anyone could complain about Broadside's mass differences between forms.
    That said, I like the Robot and Aircraft Carrier better on Titans Return, but for Jet mode, the win goes to G1. Yes it's jet is blocky, but it just better than what they did with Titan's Return.
    I hope one day to see a better version done :) I can't say he's the #1 character but I've always liked the idea of him :)

    I've been looking at getting Titans Return Broadside since I started collecting again because I want more naval transformers and I'm not insane enough to to pay like £250 for the Siege on Cybertron set that's perpetually on eBay for just the Tidal Wave repaint of him. Also because those tiny jets are maybe the only way I can get a jet smaller than a Minicon for my stack of jets (Cybertron Starscream, Armada Skywarp, Cyberverse Starscream and Armada Thunderclash is the current peak at four layers, if Hasbro gives me a Titan Class Cybertron Starscream I will buy it and make the base bigger). I will 100% ignore that the jet mode even exists of Broadside though. I do have respect for G1 he is definitely charming but I'd prefer the Titans Return one I think.

    It's a funny old world and we collectors are a funny old bunch, I don't mind crap poseability, I don't mind over designed aesthetics, but I have never been able to get past the fact that he's an aircraft carrier and also an aircraft! Does he mass shift or does he transform into a scaled up plane for other Autobots to fly in? Even if they had made his boat mode a speedboat I could have lived with that, as he is, he's not welcome on my shelf! But the rest of you have fun.

    • @misterbadguy7325
      @misterbadguy7325 2 года назад

      I believe a recent Legends comic gave a pretty good answer: that is, he doesn't mass-shift at all. His real robot mode is the Headmaster, which is actually meant to scale with the Aerialbots he comes with (meaning he's about the same size as Superion). So his jet mode is indeed a gigantic spaceship, with a cockpit that can really only seat him or a combiner.

    • @HappyBirthdayRoboto
      @HappyBirthdayRoboto 2 года назад

      @@misterbadguy7325 Fair play, you see that's an actual logical in story explanation. But that would mean the figure should be around the same size as Fort Max and in vehicle mode the cockpit should accommodate a deluxe or voyager class figure. But but I'm a realist and I know Hasbro wouldn't make a super expensive figure just to stick to an arbitrary rule. He's a handsome lad but not my cup of tea. :)
