Complains transformer transforms... Should change his channel name to The Lazy Eyebrow Idiot
Ohhhhh gotem
Lmao
Wouldnt it be funny if nightbird never transformed and was a human made robot...oh wait
@@autobothilt7864 yeah that'd be real funny
Lolol
Prime's crush does pretty much explain the entire episode...
Can all the ladies stop being retools tho. Feels like only Arcee and Windblade get new mold privileges
Agree
You could always buy one female for every pile of repaints. There should be enough for it.
I agree. Isn’t that sexism?
@@cartkart1 Kinda yeah
@@cartkart1 not really imo, there are less female characters overall, there are also a lot of male retold, and generally unimportant characters are retools, and arcee and windblade are important characters, hence getting new molds. How much effort are they expected to put into the like 6 elita bots? They are all basically recolor. I'm not saying that the female bots should be recolors, but the ones that exist are (excluding arcee/windblade)
The skit is basically the entire plot of the episode Nightbird was introduced in.
😂 Well you’re not wrong 😂
All that was missing was Starscream's meltdown at the idea of being replaced.
1:40 Optimus casually bisects himself so he can kneel down. Is this like the Cybertronian equivalent of squatting down only to rip your pants?
Haha sounds about right. This is the scene that caused me to make the video about the issue as this is when it happened
Ooof ouch
Funny how for all of the characters on the roster, the tiny bird that turns into a cassette tape is the most productive.
Edit: All the skits in this have me just in tears! There's so many subtle details that just add to the hilarity of it that I can't name them all. I just gotta say, you do an amazing job on these man.
I like how Lazerbeak/Condor just stood there when obviously the Autobots could see him
Nice "Enter the Nightbird" skit.
Thank you haha
This stop-motion review gimmick is so good I don't know why everyone doesn't do it. (Remembers time constraints are a thing.)
Optimus Prime: This connection is secure
Soundwave: Allow me to introduce myself.
Completely secure, mean while got laserbeak on his arm 0:45 🤣
ugh Prime and all those bots didn't have to die in the 86 movie if they had SOME way of watching out for Lazerbeak -__-
Oh god I didn't even notice that. That's hilarious attention to detail. XD
Not only on Prime’s arm, but on top of the Teletraan screen, staring them all in the face, just a few seconds previous!
Nah laserbeak is just their because prime has bird seed on his arm
Interesting customization. I agree with you on the fembots, dunno why they have to all look like that. Thankfully we do get some variety in Strika, Strongarm, Clobber etc
Hot take here I dont like Strongarm as a character but she is a great fembot design, as she like other Cybertronians is more blocky.
Well they did look like that in the cartoon and I think that’s more of the fault of the cartoon than to being fembots at all and I don’t know how they could’ve work the alt mode to robot converting out, they may have better luck in the future
Megatron: We have a Devastator
Optimus Prime: we have a grimlock and 4 other dinosaurs just about as powerful
Megatron: We have a nightbird
Optimus Prime: (🤖) OH Nooooo....
Cooperz Films I just did a stop motion with this one on my page 🎥 check it out 🤓
@@OfficialTransformers ok
Optimus: we have a Drift
1:42 seeing the way he kneels hurts me mentally and physicly
Prime: this channel is secure
Soundwave: you clearly have not met me
"I stand corrected"
Prowl-2020
1:41 my waste hurts and I can't fell my hips
Honestly, I find the complaint that they aren't exactly like what they are in the G1 cartoon a very weak complaint, especially in the case of Nightbird. Hasbro been trying for years to retroactively turn Nightbird into a Cybertronian, and there's more interpretations of G1 beyond the cartoon. I'm pretty sure Hasbro is the one that can determine what a niche character is supposed to be in their own franchise. And even if you ignore that, this is still a non-issue, because you're still getting a pretty good Transformers toy out of it, and complaining about how a Transformers figure can transform is just mind-bogling.
I guess my bottom line is that character reinventions happen all the time, and sometimes for the better.
Meh. I beg to differ. Nightbird’s origin was from the 80’s cartoon. In that cartoon she was a robot made on Earth and wasn’t able to Transform. I don’t think it’s crazy to wish Hasbro had conformed to the cartoon origin story. Yea, a non-Transforming Transformer is a bit out there (it’s called an action figure), but it would be a one-off… a strange deviation from the norm and something weird for toy collectors to bring up for years to come. But… that’s not what we got so, oh well.
@@jasonswitzer1748 yeah but cmon is it bad that there trying something new and "how dare they do something exactly like a badly animated show from the 80" althou why wasnt she in the red líne?
@@drigoleus1055 if you don't like transformers, then why are you here...?
@@HerohammerStudios I dont say I dont like it im sayng that there doing only g1
10:18 Lazy Eyebrow, the other three Movieverse designs you showed were my holy Trinity of Autobot Movieverse designs. I love the review, but you did made me laugh at that moment.
That's coincidentally hilarious
that skit was top notch! Loved it
1:35--"Billy...are you okay?"
"UH...NOT REALLY."
“She’s beating the daylight out of bee”
...
“We can not harm a single circuit on her, understood”
“You have a crush on her don’t you”
“Please don’t tell elita”
Dun, Dun, Dun, Dun Dun
Also female transformers come from one of the original 13 primes
In some Canon others not so much
Solus prime
Yknow lazy? I was actually gonna sleep tonight but you ruined that with your greatness you darn brilliant man
PulseAnimations I just did a stop motion with this one on my page 🎥 check it out 🤓
*Enter The Nightbird.*
Also I don't mind the quality of the video it's pretty much fine to me.
0:24,I hate and love that alert clock sound
I just love how he just say "thank you" so happy
8:59 and remind me again how those non-transforming figures where received by the fan-base?
(I'm trying to sound jaded, but if I remember correctly it was mostly negative)
Say what you will about a no alt mode Nightbird, I actually thought what you did to her looks spectacular! I want to do it myself, but I have no idea where to start
@ :46 wtf... is that Laserbeak being held by Optimus??
Ok... this video is already gold!
1:52
i know he said "You dare question my leadership?"
but i keep hearing "you dare Question my Lasers?"
the beginning skit is SO funny! especially Satrscream's "yoink!" lol love it!
I’m so glad that the bumblebee movie is a reboot.
Great job in outlining the issues Lazy. As one of your old skool followers I am real pleased with this review. You give a proper analysis of things without just relying on a straight video formula. Keep it up :)
WE NEED LOTS OF STOP MOTIONS I want you to army build decepticons or seekers haa
TF Sypher Prime I just did a stop motion with this one on my page 🎥 check it out 🤓
Elita one to prime: are you...
CHEATING ON ME?
I know I’m late to this video, but I wanted to say that your skit at the beginning of it was top notch. I was laughing so hard throughout the entire thing I was crying.
Lol laserbeak was literally sitting on Optimus's arm
Considering we have the Transformers R.E.D line recently revealed, we need a nightbird and alpha trion release for the generations collection through that line
1:41 now we know how he broke Prime
Everybody: can we have a R.E.D. Nightbird figure?
Hasbro: *NO*
Primetramagnus thats a name i don't hear in a long time
7:22 I hear ER cliff has sculpted in brake rotors
Make an Iacon General Hospital skit, please. It sounds awesome.
0:53 please do a video on how to make your soundwave is so amazing
Speaking as someone who does have the Arcee retool from a few years back, I can say that it's definitely better than the Siege in terms of posability and out-of-the-box accuracy. It even has the sai for her arms! Obviously the transforming part makes it inaccurate, but it's all-in-all it's a very good figure
0:37-0:39 I just now realized Laserbeak's atop the monitor, 🤣!
Yeah. I like how Strongarm was handled. Always wanted a lil legends one but never got one.
I guess you could say prime wanted to *Enter The Nightbird*
Yes i know where the X button is
I'm happy to see Nightbird adopted as a full Transformer, I always wondered what she'd turn into if she did Transform. Hopefully further iterations improve on the concept.
I find your views refreshing and I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Her disappearance at the end reminded me of "Smoke" from mortal kombat.
*Good to see you back, The Lazy Eyebrow!*
The decepticon Lazy Eyebrow logo always catches me off guard
Optimus:We can't harm any one of her circuits
Jazz:She's literally beating the life out of bee.
Nigthbird:*punching Bumblebee*
Bumblebee:ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow.(2:34)
Huffer: “you have a crush on her don’t you!”
Optimus: “please don’t tell elita”
Me: I feel you prime
(Pls heart this comment)
Prime: please don't tell elite
Me: optimus you cheater
-Are there any questions?
-I have a question, Dr. Fujiyama; why did you make it female?
-...What do you mean?
-Well, a demonstration in bipedal locomotion would be impressive enough, taking the next step and giving it the dexterity of a ninja would be mind-blowing, but... why did you make it female?
-What's wrong with HER being female?
-Nothing, nothing... but... just seems to me like it would be easier to design and construct without this particular aesthetic in mind...
-DO NOT JUDGE OUR LOVE!!!
Lol
Could maybe just mod the nightbird and take the backpack off...? if ya not worried about her transforming.
Edit: Nevermind. a few minutes later and I see you did just that lol
Rumble: i can build something better
Starscream: no, no he's got a point
Megatron: yesn't
2:43 SCRAP! Huffer did prime dirty there
Glad you got those upload issues cleared up!!!!!!
me too!
7:59 soery and no one will se this but his spark is in his sword
Damnit lazy eyebrow, you've spoiled us the end of Earthrise
My biggest issue with this engineering is that they keep the huge backpack BUT NOT the combination ability WHICH WAS THE REASON THEY HAD THAT KIBBLE TO BEGIN WITH
Good point
In that little episode recap, Optimus is simping for nightbird lmao
I love your content, your such a nerd and I love you for it, so you get a thumbs up and a hell yeah!
07:57
Are those her swords? If not, where did you get them?
Well he clearly hasn't seen Bumblebee movie Arcee😂
Star scream: has a good idea
Megaton: YOU TRATOR!!!!!!!!
Awesome review lazy eyebrow reviewer and I just got chromia and I got to say she's a fun figure and I can't wait to get a night bird
I agree completely about Nightbird. I'd totally be down for just a flat one-off 'action figure' representation of the character.
It'll never happen though. I think the only reason we even get a Nightbird at all is because HasTak loves recolors.
Im laughing so hard right now! Thanks for a great skit! Please do more
Can't believe my old jazz still has that paint chip above the waist lol. Well yours
Haha i just haven't gotten around to fixing it
The entire season 3 cast has been successfully updated
5:33 *looks at Transformers R.E.D*
:47 love how prime treats lazerbeak as his pet
I actually still have my Thirlling 30 Chromia. Got her at a con. Might get the Siege version, too. I like having different versions of the same character in my collection.
Flame Toys Nightbird model kit? (With alternative body parts if they really want to appease a minority that won't really buy it?)
Nightbird looks fantastic. :D
1:12 Personal favorite part XD
It’s hilarious to me how Starscream did literally nothing that scene and got blasted for it.
I have to admit, you’ve made me want to buy moonracer and do the same modifications. I may also want to mod Chromia to have a better alt mode
I hate the huge backpack on Chromia, but I am impressed that they made it weigh less than the POTP Moonracer design. I still prefer the IDW/prime arcee retool Chromia. I modded the back window piece to come off and be a shield so it’s useful kibble at least. It’s a shame that Arcee seems to be cursed. I had to laugh and cry at the fact that we were shown THREE new Arcees recently and all of them have enormous backpacks. The fact that the Earthrise one comes off as a giant flat piece that can be used as a stand is one of those “everything wrong in one picture” moments. Also everyone (even the 3ps) keep making her with a smooth sexy lower body when she definitely was drawn with a trapezoid. There were four sides. It looks so wrong to see the square ass chest plate and then sexy smooth tummy and pelvis with v lines and butt cheeks.
if you fold the vehicle kibble on the legs down it can provide additional stability
Looking back
It feels weird seeing all the compromises we had to make in those early siege days since er wheeljack, 86 Jazz or hell, even er optimus didnt even exist yet
Those old Prime wars trilogy figures, no matter how bad they were, were are only options way back when
While I don't mind the Fem Bots, I wholeheartedly agree with you about their Anatomy. What was even more confusing was at the beginning of the 86 movie on that first planet that Unicron devoured, there were male and female robots, along with children robots, and elderly robots, some of them sporting metal beards. I can never figure it out.
Since this Nightbird is Cybertronian in origin, I like to think that she is the accomplice to Barricade much like how Dropkick was to Shatter. In my cannon, Barricade is the manipulative mastermind who plans out hits on autobot targets while Nightbird is his right hand partner, a brutal enforcer and an assassin who employs twisted and gruesome tactics to get her prisoners to talk.
Aw, yeah! Lazy's back at it again!! 😎
0:24, can I use the "beep" sound effect in a stop motion?
Look up DHMIS. You'll find the source and a mighty featuring puppet cartoon
@@TheLazyEyebrow ok, thank you very much!
I wish fembots all got their own original molds that had more thought into them so the robot doesn’t have a backpack bigger than the entirety of North America.
Isn’t that kind of sexism?
Dude you should make a playlist or compilation with just your intro skits
Generations Selects is one of my favorite toylines, even though I only have Bug Bite. He’s just so good! Greasepit and Exhaust look great as well.
Huffer: you have a crush on her don’t you?
Optimus prime: pls don’t tell elita
2:43
LOL
Please review the generations selects g2 megatron too!
hey. you should do a recap of how you surgically remove her baggage. What did you use to patch the back?
Excellent points all, I mean where does she put the kids and groceries?
are we going to talk about how lazerbeck just teleported in and out like that
It's time for The Lazy Overdose 3.99.9
If you want some other voices on the show, let me know, I’d love to do some voiceover work. I can do a pretty decent Megatron
i was watching and laserbeak is going close to the screen and the other autobots don't notice he perched on optimus
Are you gonna get and/or review generations selects super megatron? (Pls do it looks awesome)
3:30 Partly why I went back to this review. Elita One. Knowing your thoughts on the mold, from the Ratchet review (which I got the ER mold, albeit in SG recolors to be repainted. You're right, it is better than Siege), I doubt you got her for the reasons you laid out there.
I do think, unlike Nightbird, Elita better benefits from being a retool of Chromia than Arcee. She'd be taller, much less skinnier, has a decent vehicle mode that she does more to actually transform into than simply folding to be crammed into a shell, have more substantial weaponry, and so on.
Only thing that I like of the ER/Netflix Elita is the head design (which I seem to be in the minority on in liking), but everything points to Chromia having the better base for her than Arcee. Shame we can't get Sam's Forge's Elita.
Your thoughts?
Honestly i considered gettong it for the sake of it, but mainly because I just wasn't interested in a voyager plane for elita
Yeah i can see chromia being a better base mold. It's just a shame all the Cybertronian femmbots are stuck with one or two molds that everyone gets to share
@@TheLazyEyebrowYeah, I've also been tempted for the same reasons, plus the head. Elita ought to be a heavy land vehicle. A headswap won't seem to work sadly, since Chromia's cavity won't fit Elita's horns, I think.
Speaking of bots related to Elita,
since you have her, Blackarachnia's probably the rare case where the sexy body is too important to the character...and yet they still did her transformation better than the G1 fembots of the current line.
And Airazor was never explicitly feminine looking in physique, so she avoids this problem to begin with, and even she still has a better transformation. That's gotta be embarrassing.
i'm fine with nightbird transforming
why?
she is a ninja
being able to hide in plain sight as a car would be something ninja would probably love
As a ninja, I can confirm.
