Meanwhile here in Israel the biggest Transformers you can find in stores are deluxe class............. That is if you can find any transformers in stores in the first place (this isn't a new situation- it's been like this ever since the the 2007 film and probably long before that as well) I have never seen in person or held anything bigger than a voyager class.....
There once was a ship put to space And the name of that ship was the Tidal Wave Something something about the wind and bow dipping down Blow my bully bots, blow Soon may the Thundertron come And bring engex, Tox-En and nucleon One day, when the tonguing is done We’ll take our fuel and go
10:01 It just now hit me why I think I like Ferak in this line... he's got NES colors. The grey, black and red on him feels exactly like what you'd see on an NES console and he looks sick with it. I should get him when I can...
Oddly enough we're supposed to be getting an armada red alert next year (subject to change) but there's nothing of a cybertron one I'm certain it'll happen though
2:36 that head sculpt was also used in the IDW Comics as well so technically its comics (Edit) I know IDW was based off the movie design but with how Legacy is going they're more into comics and shows and book rather that than the movies and games since Studio Series is producing them. I hope I wasn't coming across as a "um actually" guy. I was wanting to point out that Lockdown had a similar design to his IDW counterpart.
this, is the evergreen look. I know people likes him emanciated, but out of EVERYTHING we saw and had, this is the perfect middlepoint we don't want another "evergreen barricade" to happen, after all, do we?
Thank you for putting this video out, I believe these transformers will be out in shelves in the US starting tomorrow! This might be the first exclusive line that I collect all of them. Great video as always🔥🔥😎
al of the "piece-izers" have been figures that went from nice to excellent, the one this side of kingdom are even better, but all of the junkions are just their little angle of peak
With how good this capsule line is it makes me so much more excited for the Cybertron 20th anniversary line that was leaked as a Walmart exclusive. Next year can’t come fast enough.
Holy crap! I never knew what those slots on Thundertron’s shoulders were for. I just happen to have Wingthing, so I guess he’ll be hanging out with Thundertron from now on.
The other day, my brother saw Cannonball and Lockdown at our Walmart, and that tells me the others should not be far behind them. Hoping for the best collecting them because I'm combining this sub-line with the Legacy United Armorizers before opening them up. Especially because of a story tidbit someone on Hasbro made up for the Star Seekers/Raiders using Armorizer technology in their quest to conquer Cybertron.
Man, i wish my local stores had some new stuff. Here the only stores that sell transformers have the exact same things they did a year ago- a few Jolts, a bunch of Gnaws, a single Jazz and one broken Bulkhead per store. Nothing new since they released. Pain
if you put the foot of nightstrike in the mushroom peg hole on the outside of the arm youd like, you can have him sit on the arm due to the rectangular hole being just about the right size on thundertron
I got Roadpig on order from Pulse so he's the last one to come. I ordered all mine from Pulse. My Walmart didn't get any of these in! I'm super happy that I'm able to get them cause they sold out.
That's so unfair... your Walmarts are chock full of Transformers and you even have multiple Filches on sale, but here in CA our stores have next to nothing Transformers-wise, almost all shelf-warmers from 3 waves ago, and I haven't been able to find Filch at all in physical stores, nor for less than $50 USD anywhere online!
This is a really cool subline. Haven't got the original Thundertron, but the colors and head sculpt of the Leader boxed one make it an easy buy if I ever come across it. Really liked the Metal Hawk retool as I never got the Kingdom Cyclonus so would also buy the Ferack. Last for me is the Filch, as I don't own a single iteration of the mold, but the colors and mechanical molding make this so much more interesting. Looking forward to Cybertron Red Alert down the line.
I like the pirates concept better than the toys themselves. As a group they have little to no synergy on a shelf, so I passed on them... ...except Cannonball. That paint job was too dope to let go. 😎
1:36 Damn, your walmart is stacked. The walmart in the states in comparison are like sh*t, with only leader class skyquake and dragon megatron available
I literally can't find a single one of these figures at any Walmart near me I'm just hoping that once road pig and thundertron release that Walmart will put them out
Man, my Walmart barely has a handful of hooks devoted to TF, and even then they're still trying to cycle through the Rise of the Beasts toys. Seriously, my local place just doesn't have Transformers anymore for shit... That said, I really wanna get my hands on Road Pig, I had his original mold (was never sure if it was G1 or G2) and was a favorite of mine until he broke...
This is an amazing video! I was able to find them all almost immediately and I got ferak (who I love) but I got tf one alpha trip instead of road pig and I haven’t seen him since but once I get him I’ll probably be done.
I just got Cannonball this week as a Christmas present from my dad and my step mom. Besides his Trigger Happy shoulders he’s an awesome figure. I’m waiting for the eventual Red Alert repaint we’ll get.
My local Walmart has stocked none of these. They haven't stocked hardly anything recent in months, aside from the TFOne stuff which only just got there this past weekend.
I had the Cybertron Cannonball both as a kid and as an adult and Imma be honest, the Legacy one absolutely blows that one out of the water (pun intended yarrr). Most of the time I hella stan older figures, but for that mold specifically, yea there is no comparison the new one just feels so much nicer and poses so much nicer while still keeping the most memorable parts compared to that baggy old deluxe.
Lockdown looks great! Definitely a cool version of the character! Want him. Hoping for a TFA version some-point soon. I kinda want Thundertron, but now I don't know which version to get; single-pack initial release, or Star Seekers Multipack. The Multipack is a good value at $60: A $35 Voyager + $25 Deluxe + $5 Micromaster = $65. But, this is $5 less. Good value. And, all 3 figures are really cool. Very cool and nice color scheme Calcitron has; really cool deco/colors on Thundertron; and really cool and honestly cute Nightstrike, also cool he turns into a flag. But, I don't know if I want the one (Thundertron) with normal hand or hookhand. Idk. Anyway, Ferak looks cool and the levels of retooling they did for him is quite nice. Not sure if I want him, but maybe. I'm not familar with Cannonball, but I want him solely because he looks very, very cool. Roadpig looks cool, not sure if I want him, tho. Maybe. Edit: Scrap. I forgot Filch. Shes cool. I like her. But, I don't really want her too much. But, maybe, just maybe, I'll get her. Maybe.
I got them all and they are all great, except Thundetron. He got a great bot mode, but his beast more is horrendous. I will get rid of him sooner or later. The underdog that most impressed me is Ferak. I didn't expect much from him, but there's much more remolding than I expected. Plus his colors are better in hand than in pictures. As for the rest of the deluxes, that are very good, my favorite being Road Pig and the Rock Lord.
@dustinarmstrong1168 so idk about all walmarts but ik mine doesn't even sell leaders anymore. So if no walmart sells them then it being a walmart exclusive was such a waste
is roadpig head connected to the body ball joint or does the head have a ball joint, i so wanna place his head on Ferak or Cybertron starscream to make a Legacy Star Saber
My JB-HIFI™ is _STACKED_ with these guys, I personally only have picked up cannonball currently but am planning to get the rest when I have saved up enough
I'd say that mold fatigue may set in (if not flat oud degradation for the bulk of the body), but they would get away with making a single toy for both versions (altough, cybertron defense squad red alert is another story)
@@rob-u1u the las big victim of GPS was bayverse Entry-optimus-Prime, the more recent uses of extensive gold were from this side of combiner wars and there has been no notice of any problem, which goes twice since most of them were limited or special releases
Looking at them they make me think of a group of troublemakers who take some energon as payment to do a job for the autobots, only to leave once they're paid. Just as the autobots are about to be killed by the decepticons, they show their true colors and rush the battlefield to save them, laughing and cussing like a bunch of drunken idiots
Meanwhile, I was waiting on the Walmart website until the 3rd for Thundertron to not be on Preorder…only to find him out of stock a day early. And given my stores never got the Toxitron collection until MAY (and never the leaders), I’ve basically got no hope. The frustration of staying up with releases and even procuring them is starting to outweigh my enjoyment of the figs.
I've got Cannonball, he's a neat figure, and he's one of my favorite figures in the Star Raiders line, and like you said, his doors don't tab in behind the wheelwells in the vehicle mode, I also want Lockdown because I have the AOE Lockdown figure, and that thing is old at this point because it's ten years old at this point. I've got about most of the Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection line because I have Override, Burnout, IDW Blurr, and Crasher, Crasher and Override were my top two sought after choices, Burnout was a nice surprise because she's a Diaclone repaint of Skids, and a vast improvement over the original mold, which is second next to Cannonball in my opinion, and IDW Blurr is a good figure, I found Titans Return Blurr, and I can clearly see the difference between the two molds, which is why I will have them identified separately. Crasher I know is A Mirage repaint, but one that works for me because WAY back in 2008, she was in the 2007 movie line as Fracture (which that name is used on a different character, thank goodness), which she was supposed to be part of the Universe line, but Hasbro bungled that up, and as far as that figure went, the Legacy figure blows that one out of the water, and is pretty enjoyable, and makes me happy. Override, man, she needed a bit more paint, but she is a good figure , but she didn't come with a Cyber Planet Key like Cybertron Hotshot and Cannonball did in United, but she is still a good figure. Had Hasbro given her more paint to be more show accurate and a Cyber Planet Key, that would have been made Override a better figure. I'm so glad I customized my Override figure to be more show accurate. The Toxitron collection, I only got G2 Mirage because I'm a 90s kid. People reading this comment who hate G2 will probably hate me for liking G2, but I will say that G2 had a bumpy ride, and we never got G1 Mirage in G2 colors, wake up and face reality, people, Machine Wars is not better than G2 because you guys never got over hating G2 for it's reuse and repaints of older figures. Moving on from that rant, I never got Toxitron because Toxiton wasn't stocked where I live, and the other molds, I missed out on Cloud cover, and I avoided the other Deluxes of the capsule collection because while they look good, they didn't peak my interest, come on, I didn't even get that line's G2 Grimlock because of how expensive that is, price inflation is the worst thing to happen to us, y'know? Now United is something I was looking forward to, and it did not disappoint with Cannonball when I got him, and he's pretty good looking figure, being a repaint of Crankcase, who in turn was a remold/retool of Skids, I think is the best version of the mold to date, and I considered getting lockdown, same with Filch because I do like her as a character, but I have yet to get those two. Not sure if I want Road pig, though, I wanted the Junkions from Evolution so bad like Scraphook and Crashbar, and yet, Detritus is one, so, yeah, I only have Detritus, funny enough, so I can't complain. Speaking of Evolution, I wanted Armada Hot shot ever since he came out, I wanted him so bad, but since Cybertron Hot shot came out in United, I can't complain since I got him, so I'm satisfied. Now I want Excellion in the next line. And Speaking of Age Of The Primes, I'm glad that Crasher is coming back so that you guys can get her, besides, I'm one of the lucky few to get crasher when she first came out in Legacy, even though I'm not the first, so I can't claim bragging rights to that, even though I'd like to, so I'll not rain on your parades and keep my mouth shut.
Someone pitched the solo Thundertron as a younger "prequel" one and this Walmart one as a grizzled "present day" one. Kind of having trouble deciding between this and the Takara Super Starscream (that will probably cost about as much despite just being a repaint with possibly blast effects and nothing more).
So safe to say we'll at some point get an Energon Red Alert from Cannonball, especially given Armada Red Alert is on the way(They'll likely wait for him to be out awhile first).
Cannonball is my favorite from this line. Also... WTH YOU CAN PUT HIS ACCESSORIES IN THE GAPS?! EDIT: Farak's alt mode actually looks like a Z95 Headhunter from the X-Wing games.
hoping they make a Star Saber out of the Ferak mold, not sure why how he looks right there looks somewhat like a Shattered Glass Star Saber, all he missing is a mouth plate and a sword
Your Walmart is STACKED JESUS
Sad part about there being 2 if you want the new one, you’re gonna get yelled at because *”WE ALREADY GOT YOU ONE.”*
That's why I waited on purchasing Thundertron. When I heard there would be two versions, I held off to see how they'd be different so I decide if I wanted either or none.

Override, man, she needed a bit more paint, but she is a good figure , but she didn't come with a Cyber Planet Key like Cybertron Hotshot and Cannonball did in United, but she is still a good figure. Had Hasbro given her more paint to be more show accurate and a Cyber Planet Key, that would have been made Override a better figure. I'm so glad I customized my Override figure to be more show accurate.
The Toxitron collection, I only got G2 Mirage because I'm a 90s kid.
People reading this comment who hate G2 will probably hate me for liking G2, but I will say that G2 had a bumpy ride, and we never got G1 Mirage in G2 colors, wake up and face reality, people, Machine Wars is not better than G2 because you guys never got over hating G2 for it's reuse and repaints of older figures.
Moving on from that rant, I never got Toxitron because Toxiton wasn't stocked where I live, and the other molds, I missed out on Cloud cover, and I avoided the other Deluxes of the capsule collection because while they look good, they didn't peak my interest, come on, I didn't even get that line's G2 Grimlock because of how expensive that is, price inflation is the worst thing to happen to us, y'know?
Now United is something I was looking forward to, and it did not disappoint with Cannonball when I got him, and he's pretty good looking figure, being a repaint of Crankcase, who in turn was a remold/retool of Skids, I think is the best version of the mold to date, and I considered getting lockdown, same with Filch because I do like her as a character, but I have yet to get those two.
Not sure if I want Road pig, though, I wanted the Junkions from Evolution so bad like Scraphook and Crashbar, and yet, Detritus is one, so, yeah, I only have Detritus, funny enough, so I can't complain.
Speaking of Evolution, I wanted Armada Hot shot ever since he came out, I wanted him so bad, but since Cybertron Hot shot came out in United, I can't complain since I got him, so I'm satisfied. Now I want Excellion in the next line. And Speaking of Age Of The Primes, I'm glad that Crasher is coming back so that you guys can get her, besides, I'm one of the lucky few to get crasher when she first came out in Legacy, even though I'm not the first, so I can't claim bragging rights to that, even though I'd like to, so I'll not rain on your parades and keep my mouth shut.
The fact you have all of them makes me jealous
I want that road pig redecoed into a cykill, with the spare tire that came with scraphook!
Someone pitched the solo Thundertron as a younger "prequel" one and this Walmart one as a grizzled "present day" one. Kind of having trouble deciding between this and the Takara Super Starscream (that will probably cost about as much despite just being a repaint with possibly blast effects and nothing more).
Anyone think Hasbro plans on releasing a Cybertron Red Alert?
Most likely.
Congrats on getting the whole crew.
So safe to say we'll at some point get an Energon Red Alert from Cannonball, especially given Armada Red Alert is on the way(They'll likely wait for him to be out awhile first).
I'm just waiting for the red alert repaint
8:35 I also have all three of these guys!!! What are the odds of this happening to people besides us???
Imagine if these guys were in Prime instead of the Beast Hunters season
Cannonball is my favorite from this line.
Also... WTH YOU CAN PUT HIS ACCESSORIES IN THE GAPS?!
EDIT: Farak's alt mode actually looks like a Z95 Headhunter from the X-Wing games.
Hot take: I don’t like Lockdown being part of a crew. I think he in particular works better solo.
For me Lockdown is the one that’s hard to find. Usually see some combination of Cannonball, Filch, and Road Pig.
I put Lockdown on my Christmas list.
Pirates 🏴☠️
I repeat, he keeps dropping *BANGER* after *BANGER*
My Walmart still has toxictron…
Lucky
Do you reckon they are space pirates because they are worried water will be too warm for them?
You would download a truck, right Optimus?
I just can't find Lockdown or the Thundertron set
hoping they make a Star Saber out of the Ferak mold, not sure why how he looks right there looks somewhat like a Shattered Glass Star Saber, all he missing is a mouth plate and a sword
thundertron looks like the enimie to target optimis prime
SHIVERY ME TIMBERS!!!
