When Mainline Deluxe Meets Studio Series Deluxe |#transformers ROTB Deluxe Nightbird 
Развлечения
Honestly she doesn't look to bad after getting closer looks. Glad to see she is at least better than Mirage.
Her wings are based on the compressed look they had whenever she was on the ground (the final battle is the exception to this for some reason)
Those wings are perfectly accurate to her look in the movie as they compress to that size when not in use.
As a huge Skyline R33 fan and the fact that Nightbird was just awesome in the movie this was a must buy for me. Shes really fun to play around with and display.
Also TIL the car wing is removable
I think that “feeling” you were describing is the feeling someone gets when grabbing an entire Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R, trust me as a professional car grabber myself I know the feeling all too well
Interestingly, the eyes on the figure aren’t red, they’re yellow like in the movie. The visor acts like a purple filter for the light so her eyes look reddish brown if you aren’t shining a light under her visor
It's especially noticable when she was forced to transform after she got hit by a rock during the chase scene. Such a cool detail about her
I'm very glad I found your channel within the last few months. I had toys from every TF movie from 2007-2017, and when I went off to college two years later I had to sell almost all of them cause I needed money.
I finally got back into collecting after I got married in 2021. The Battled Damaged ROTF Megatron was my first SS figure. I now have every ROTB figure, almost every upcoming SS pre-order, and I am very quickly building up my new collection of SS that I have been missing out on for years 😂
Love your vids man. You are one of my favorite Transformers reviewers and the old throwback reviews bring SO MUCH nostalgia.
Little side note, I was actually messing with my SS Nightbird today and then you uploaded this video 😂
For the concept debate what I’ve been able to collect is the mainline were the early concept designs of the characters but then when the studio series were being made the designs changed so they made the studio series figures BUT then they changed the designs again for the final film which is why the terrorcons look different.
I might get this I’m waiting to see if there’s anywhere with a Black Friday deal mainly due to I have battle trap, scourge, and it’s deluxe pricing so there’s that urge to complete the trio
I actually like the mainlines colors, in robot mode is almost like a reference to cybertron cannonball, or what ever it’s called
the design is final design, she has only final movie design elements, shes based on the final movie design undoubtedly, especially with her shin details and skirts, none of the concept art has that feathered skirt look and the multilayered car part shoulder detail
Still feel they should've waited on the studio series toys until the movie was out, so they could be much more accurate, since that was the whole point of studio series, just have the mainline stuff for the movie and the studio series later for better accuracy
That was the original plan before the movies delay
Honestly I don’t mind the figure overall I don’t even mind the kibble but the things that bugs me is they didn’t include 2 swords which they show on the box that she has 2 and they molded her vehicle and robot mode to accompany 2 swords so why not you had the mold made. The other thing I wish was they included wings that could be swapped out for the smaller ones. Also the blades or claw weapons I know they are molded to her arms but really a shame you couldn’t make that an accessory
I agree, but eh. I'll just wait for the eBay upgrade kits to pop up
i just really wish they took more time with some of the ROTB Studio Series figures, so we could get finalized designs and more time for the design team to cook up the engineering and all. making the kibble into wings would have been a no brainer had they worked on the finalized design from the start imo
Yeah I agree, Nightbird could use a Voyager budget for her transformation given the wings and backpack, and the film getting delayed did not help at all.
I will confidently say I prefer transforming her over Bumblebee. She’s definitely my favorite SS ROTB figure so far
So true
Really good alt mode, and nicely painted rims. Bot mode looks of course small and kind of fiddly. Still a decent SS figure. Now had Hasbro given her two swords instead of the one.
It's pretty funny how in terms of accuracy, the mainline gets the chest right by NOT splitting it
again, studio series one is based on concepts, but i'm pretty sure the mainline one is too. It's just funny how limitations just do things like that
It's even funnier when you realise the ss waist is more accurate compared to the mainline. It's like they switched lower bodies lol.
She has a gap in her chest in the movie. It is not nearly as noticeable as the ss figure but it’s there. Watch the scene where she picks up the key
Honestly all of them are good. Personally none of theme were bad they were all good at something whether it’s detail, Alt modes, or early concept art
I agree, because in my mindset, there are no bad Transformers movies or TV shows
I can't wait for next year lineups oh it's interesting to say the least
This character is one of my favorites and I really want to get it for Christmas
Seems they finally figured out how to get the best possible design with minimal effect on R&D. I remember Aaron Archer. That guy was clueless
you really should have compared the mainline and studio series robot modes, kind of surprising that you didn’t when comparing the other figures
i found nightbird in like idk October and got it instantly, it is very good and i like this ones head than the movies one
but i think this is a very good figure and worth paying full
I'm always surprised Hasbro just does stock images like that. Is it from a 3rd party that comes in doing the pictures?
It's a small team who does all the stock photos and doesn't get instructions and a short time to do them
that pointed clear purple head, reminds me of Lucifer from '78 Battlestar Galactica 🤓👴
That’s SICK. Where did you find it? I’ve been trying to get one ever since the new wave came out and none of my local stores are stocking them, I’ve also been trying to find Core Class Noah Diaz but I can’t find him anywhere.
I really hope that after we finally get Brawl and hopefully a clunker Bee, that MPM gives us some of the RotB designs.
I bought this figure for 24.99 at Target.
I wished after they sent the concept art to the toy designer that they is done with designing the model and they won’t add or remove to it, so that the toy can be accurate
Still nobody is talking about how her head is clearly Armada Thrust!
Copies of SS Nightbird have yellow eyes instead of red here in Ireland.
I totally get what you mean by the way the car feels in hand.
Her eyes are actually orange. Take it from a dude who damn near broker her head trying to switch it (which doesn’t work unfortunately)
Not correcting you just something funny I thought I’d mention
It's a GT R man. You can't go w❤ong. I believe its the GT R 32
R33. When I heard that Nightbird was a GT-R, I knew I had to pick a figure up. Love JDM cars.
So, I have this figure, and one thing that really really kinda turns me away from it, at first, it was the backpack, I still don't like it, but I recently realized, The reason I didn't like this figure as much as I thought I would, is because in hand, I feel like the legs are just a little bit too skinny, and not in proportion with the rest of her.
I wouldn't mind the backpack a lot more, if the legs were just a _little bit_ thicker. But that's just my opinion.
I hope I can find this wave of studio series, the first wave never really hit my shelves so I never got Battletrap and now I see hes not on BBTS or Hasbro pulse anymore 😭
Why Bumblebee got his arm cannon and blade (which he didn't even use in the movie as far as I remember) but Nightbird doesn't get her second sword is beyond me, but Hasbro gotta Hasbro I suppose.
I mean the wings were there in the movie
Hoping one of thsoe 3P wizard companies take a shot at this
I love they got the gtr license
When I first seen promotional images for her I was like okay cool and then I seen her car mode and then the GTR Fanboy came out of me I really want one of these so bad I do either a hope to get it be it comes to my store or at least one of the stores I can get to in three at least I hope they're going to be stocked this is just this it's close to home since I'm a big fan of GTRs skylines and all that type I was happy to hear that they finally put a GTR in the transformer franchise that wasn't some sort of comic expectation like an actual live-action GTR car got put in a transformer movies Best of both worlds here but I really do hope I can get one of these also I still need to have a nightbird character so this is yeah this is just perfect
I waited for mine at the Walmart I work at and she was disconnected to like 15 bucks and finally got her
How much would a left arm and sword replacement be???? I really need to know
Whats weird is that my nightbirds eyes are orange/yellowish
honestly the only rotb figures ill ever gett after ss 200 be is prime, battletrap or night bord and possibly scourge
I think the designers don't know the difference between a ninja and a samurai
Maybe you can make one nightbird and another an Oc sister
The back kibble should’ve formed the large wings
Studio Series RoTB are all passable for me. Should've like waited untill the designs are finalised and not going for concept arts. And now, more RoTB toys are coming in the SS line and they're all concept arts (SS Wheeljack doesn't have the right gun). And the only choice for a Bayformers character is that annoying sea dweller head, Mohawk. Why wouldn't they prioritise something that's finalised 7 years ago than something that's still recent?
Limited time licensing deals
@@pillarsofsnow7940yeah what he said..
Exactly 😂
@@pillarsofsnow7940 Hasbro own Transformers and therefore there's no licensing agreements to deal with. If there are, what type of licensing deals/agreements needed? Not like they lost the rights to use their names already, right? No, that's not possible. I thought Refraktor was the only character they couldn't get the name back.
Alright, maybe Onslaught too. Since Hasbro lost the rights to the names of most characters from G1. But what about Nitro Zeus and Dreadbot or even Berserker?
But they could get the name like Mohawk who's name is literally a hairstyle.
@@AfterthymeGaming the licensing in terms of vehicles, is what I believe they meant.
She is good to handle her but her transformation hurts my thumbs an my fingers an i have no regrets on buying her except missing out the pre order of ss 109 Megatron on Hasbro Pulse but i hope they restock him again so i can take some cool pictures of Megatron facing against the Terrorcons in a 3v1 battle that i would have Megatron Grabbing Nightbird's ankle so he can slam her down to the ground out of mid air an have Megatron placing his foot on Battletrap's back an having Megatron firing his fusion cannon at Scourge that is what i am going to do if they restock Megatron again
Do you think you could to a review of the last knight voyager optimus prime from like 2017-2018. There was a premier version that was way more detailed and accurate than the normal version.
Dunno whats the point of getting Mainline RoTB toys when there like £5 less whith some being smaller and obviously less accurate than SS. I got SS Scourge and Battletrap at a market. £5 for Scourge and £3.50 for Battletrap in UK
Rather have the mainline than this one
I got. This but The Robot Mode it so kibble
As you said, it's not perfect, but it's not bad. If DNA can make a kit that replaces the back kibble with a new car top that transformers into her wings, then we're cooking.
DNA Design just granted your wish with an upgrade kit for not only Nightbird but also Battletrap and Scourge
Despite the figures flaws, the R33 GTR Skyline car mode is amazing and can't wait to do my own review on it. The back pack is an eye sore but the robot mode in my opinion is way better.
My main problem is mainly that she seems a bit too short. Like she's missing some of her abdomen area.
I was debating if I wanted to get nightbird or mirage, and yea nightbird is definitely the winner for me
Same. I am having a hard time debating which one should I get, is it mirage or nightbird
The chest is too dang big but that seems more like a source material issue than a toy issue
I understand not liking the mirage but the more I messed with it the more I liked it.
It looks good though
I won’t lie, I bought two just for the second sword 🙈
They should just oblige the movie people by contract to produce a final design in time for a reasonable toy production deadline, and stick with it after that. The movie audience is made by only two types of people: those who care about the toys and want them to be accurate, and those who are just there for the action scenes, who do not care at all about the design of the robot who is going to be blown up after five min of total screentime. Both are perfectly happy if you stick with earlier production designs for the final movie. The only late design change that is kind of warranted is stuff like making rampage red when they realize that he has to fight bumblebee, which is very rare, and would notbe necessary anyway if the action scenes were actually good.
Remember when they made a movie version of Drift and turned him into a Japanese samurai stereotype? Then they made him a Bugatti and a Mercedes? 😵
Honestly, i like Concept art Nightbird more than On screen Nightbird.
Bread
I still hate her figure design, but this one looks better. But the transformation might still be hell and confusing. I probably won't get her, but if they do an accurate/fixed Battletrap and Scourge i'd get them.
Plus Battletrap's hook transformation is awfully constructed where i just tore it off and gave up.
I actually prefer the concept design over the one in the movie so it don't bother me too much
Make ROTB Arcee video and saying "This video is made for adult collectors because Transformers fans went horny for her. Why?"
I honestly prefer the mainline one. If both are gonna be inaccurate to the final design I’ll take the more colorful one to look at, this one feels like it would just blend in to my shelf. I like that it also has less backpack than this, doesn’t have the dinky little winglets, and has a more unbroken chest design. I already have the mainline one and I just don’t like this one enough to buy the character twice. Then again, the car looks nicer and I wanna support characters that represent people like me. So 🤷🏻♀️
Update got the studio series and it is in fact much better in person. My bad y’all
I got this figure a few weeks ago and I perfer it over Battletrap and scourge
Night bird look more to the concept art
WHAT UP MY BADASS CANADIAN TRANSFORMERS #Boss! How goes it G?~Reptile, Slaytanic138REPTILE

#SALUTE
considering scourge and battletrap in the movie are the same height and nightbird got up to battletraps chest yeah no i'd say maineline scales better
Ninjago
I guarantee you all that April 1 st next year he won’t have anything at to say about A toy
R33 Nissan skyline
Shes definitely not a bad figure at all, i really like her, me being a Nightbird fan notwithstanding. I do feel the mainline figure is better in terms of scale and proportion however, cause Nightbird was not that stumpy or small in the film. Studio Series ironically enough makes a better fiddle figure than mainline though and thats what i use her as.
she was that small, she only came up to the start of scourges waist and the bottom of battletraps chest
Looks to be a good figure, but...
*hear me out*
She's thiccer in her studio series version l.
i do fully believe that we shouldn't have gotten ROTB toys for studio series this year
i feel like best option would've been to have the mainline toys this year and then wait a whole year for the studio series versions
that way i feel we'd get more accurate renditions of the characters in SS (which i think was the point of SS in the first place)
still like a good chunk of them (bee, primal, prime, battletrap) and understand that choice of action would be dumb for business but still
Studio series really dropped the ball on almost all of the ROTb figures, it's such a shame cuz she has such a great design but both figures are an easy pass for me, hopefully a 3P releases a good version of her to go with scourge and battletrap who both look fantastic imo
Ik this isn’t related unless your the creator don’t read this so you don’t waste your time but day 1 of asking for f14 review
Wings are to small in my opinion
11th???
Yo
If she’s female and fembots do have prominent chests and the whole car is her chest does that mean night has the biggest rack
I like your reviews but it feels weird that u apologize/ make excuses for the designers. I get ur making a point but u really don't have to or spend less time on it.
I'm not apologizing for the designers. I'm bringing up why things are done the way they are because understanding where the problem comes from can change ones enjoyment or distaste towards something. And loads of people don't know why/how these things are done and it's just nice to be educated or at least understand where things come from
Second
Studio and generations have been the same gor a long time...just here you pay 10 quid more for a studio series than a generations
Still gonna wait for a third party. They will do it better.
What you said is.... blatantly wrong. The entire crotch area is a lot more accurate and the final model has the model springs. Her wings are based on the compressed look from the movie. Don't spread misinfo bro
the only problem I have with her is that she's not a retool of race or race is not a pretool of nightbird, just want to see homage paid to her previous toys
Mainline is better.
Nightbird is an awful design and horribly voiced too
