    Speaking of the Ladybird books and their toy-accurate illustrations, I actually met the artist at my local comic book shop, and since I lived only five minutes away I ran home quickly and grabbed the books and brought them for him to sign. He said to me "This was the first illustration work I ever did, and the last work I ever thought I'd be signing."

    31:49 to explain who/what toxitron is, he originally started out as a repaint of the original laser prime mold. It was intended to be released as part of the universe 1.0 line, but like many other things it got cancelled due to the lines poor performance. That toy would eventually be shown off for the first time at botcon 2005. Due to that botcon connection fun pub would later release two toys of the character.
    (This new version is the first one to be available to a lot of people. Its also the most authentic to the original version because it’s using the laser prime mold).

      In terms of the character, if I remember correctly he’s supposed to be the product of an early attempt at making a clone of Optimus prime. (There’s not much more you can say about this guy).

    For me the Laser Optimus mold works best for imposter Optimus Primes. It's a truck but not the right truck, it has a trailer but not the right trailer, it has chest windows but they aren't the real windows from the truck mode; for me that all screams Optimus Prime Doppelganger.
    But yeah the Toxitron gang are all amazing and I managed to track most of them down in a week and just needed a friend's help getting Dead End.

    Two notes on Lio Convoy: the handgun that comes with copy convoy is supposed to go with normal Lio (or any of the members of his team, tbh). And the longer blasters that peg into the forearms can be shoved into the backpiece, theres a couple of slots to mount them there as a jetpack, and also functions as alt mode storage.

    The Tarn mold’s brilliance is the robot mode. You can make him looks absolutely FANTASTIC in poses, especially if you don’t use the arm canon as sacrilege as that is to say since “Tarn’s supposed to have the canons”. When you give the mold something to hold, it comes to life rather than just find new ways to point his arm out

  • @OtakuUnitedStudio
    @OtakuUnitedStudio Год назад +5

    Man, Bomb-Burst and Iguanus are actually REALLY swish little figures! You need to give them a chance when you can. Bomb-Burst reminds me of the Energon Omnicon jet mold, and I love how deranged he looks. Iguanus has a surprisingly fun bike mode that basically transforms like the Junkion bikes but with the wheels on struts so they aren't just loose parts.
    I ended up painting the medi-bot on my Earthrise Optimus. Yeah, the original release had it and roller in grey, but the show and running changes made them blue, and it looks so much nicer that way.
    I got the Core Class Laserbeak version of the DOTM Bee mold, knowing it would get recolored in yellow at some point, but I'm genuinely surprised they retooled the head with the battle mask. It kind of makes his head a little indistinct but it looks good up close.
    The first Leo Prime having no pupils is apparently due to the gold plastic being unpaintable. Fortunately, Gundam Marker sticks to it a bit better than normal acrylic paint. Gotta say though, that teal pedicure looks AMAZING with the charcoal and satin black color scheme. Galvatron would be a dream come true, given how rare his toy is outside of Japan.

    • @manjackson2772
      @manjackson2772 Год назад

      I think they should have released bomb burst first tbh, it's a fine toy but Iguanus really blows it out of the water for articulation and posability and alt mode and even accessories. Iguanus is masterful, it just makes Bomb Burst feel clumsy by comparison

    • @OtakuUnitedStudio
      @OtakuUnitedStudio 6 месяцев назад

      ​​@@manjackson2772 Not sure I agree. They have about the same articulation as far as I can tell except Bomb-Burst has simple hinged ankles while Iguanus has ball joints. Bomb-Burst has two wing-guns that can be used as axes plus his pickaxe, while Iguanus has an indistinct blaster thing (tongs?!). But both have ball joints for shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees with a normal swivel for a neck and waist.

    Was pretty lukewarm about Tarn, but the Bludgeon treatment makes it so much better. Another toy in my collection I'll never feel the need to transform. Definitely on board with Trashmaster. Haven't gotten him yet, but love that he's a big chunk of truck, and bot like the Legacy Bulkhead. Would love to find that Toxitron repaint as I too find the Laser Prime mold pretty fun, and near perfect in design/articulation. A toy i definitely would not mind buying twice for those crazy G2 colors.

    My Bludgeon, the only one on my shelf is the Metagate one....The AoE triple changer Drift, but gold-ish orange and remoulded slightly.
    I feel like the design actually works better as Bludgeon because it solves my main problem with the later Bayverse designs; the AoE/TLK 'bots really don't look or feel like Transformers to me aesthetically because of the lack of kibble....But when you base it on a Pretender's shell, with no kibble in the first place it works.

    I originally gave Bludgeon crap upon announcement for being a Tarn recolor but ironically, he wears the mold a little better in robot mode as the slimmer figure was something that always offset me about Tarn who I had the impression was supposed to be a swollen beefcake asshole like RoboCain from Robocop 2, but he was way more lithe than I expected which made for some wacky Lupin III posing that looked a bit silly and incongruous on someone like Tarn. The louder colors and the sword definitely gives the robot mode more life with Bludgeon.
    Still wish he did have a different altmode, but eh
    I always justified Bludgeon's name with him being about as subtle as a blunt instrument, which is to say not very
