No airquotes needed for this Shockwave as he was the ONLY nice senator while all the others were corrupt assholes. It's those assholes who rebuilt him into the bot we know purely out of spite
These sets were IDW based but they called Orion a Data Clerk, which is his ALIGNED job whereas in IDW he was a police officer and a really good one at that. Just look up the Shadowplay 3-parter of the MTMTE comic (issues 9, 10 & 11) to learn this set's story while Megatron Origin is the basis for the D-16/Ratbat set
@@chadking375 Well considering all the police brutality in the US it's probably best to avoid mentioning them. She says when they released Chase earlier this year :P
@@fishpop Fool, the U.S isn’t the world and those “brutalities” are over-exaggerated by political extremists. The law isn’t always nice, but it is essential. The vilification of law enforcement isn’t a good thing. You also aren’t a woman
I just realized these packs were probably meant (along with the War Dawn material) to remind casual and non-casual fans that these characters exist before the One campaign began. I think Kingdom was doing something similar for RoTB, which is why the 86 movie stuff got moved to Studio Series?
@@NiStuff Wouldn't it be funny if the Doom n' Destruction stuff is secretly meant to reacquaint the public with the Mayhem squad before they show up in the next movie
you should do the dead eye duel 2 pack next. I have it, its pretty good imo. Javelin's a brilliant retool of arcee. Kaskade is also surprisingly fun, althought I say that knowing I don't have 50 potp retooled chromia
Pre-Beast Wars is also right up my alley. I grew up with G1, but Beast Wars has a special place in my heart cause it's when I actually had some degree of agency in the toys I got.

The Legacy Evolution boxes make the Legacy boxes look like a proof of concept with how much better the Evolution colors are

You gotta do your All of Them I got with Shockwave I must see the full train 😂
That’d be quite a video

They didn’t want to say “cop”
Cowards

Genuinely wish Hasbro will release a artbook for the legacy promo and box art. Also want that prime retooled into a Rescue bot Hotshot.
Big same
Ah yes, the boy before becoming an evil cyclope, really cool

@@incoherentbabbler4636 that would be goddamn delightful
The Orion Pax reminds me of Conan the Librarian from the classic film UHF.
i think the second upgrade kit that says for hotshot is actually for orion because there was gen selects hotshot using the same mould
i like the little squat nerd Orion Pax lol
In your Megatrons review (ER mold) you had one that had a different head. Can you review that sometime?
Totally! I’m planning on running through all the diff versions that sprung out of the wfc siege Megatron mold in a future vid.

Definitely on the list
since it says "generations selects hot shot", isn't it for Orion as well? Gap fillers and stuff.
Oh, I took it as the new armada hotshot. They also didnt look like theyd fit in anywhere helpful.
gen selects hot shot was a hound retool also so I just think they got the names screwed up or something lol
Orion Pax do be lookin sad.
Fr poor guy
Immediately I thought it WAS Devcon. IDK anything about the comics though so maybe this looks ilke him?
I see the sadness too.
Pre-Beast Wars is also right up my alley. I grew up with G1, but Beast Wars has a special place in my heart cause it's when I actually had some degree of agency in the toys I got.
I find F*strange that they use the hound mold to make pax
They mixed 2 versions of IDW Orion Pax they merge “War Within” with the one based of the Thrilling 30 figure.
Hi Ni stuff
Hey
Ni plz don't the Orion he's a cop
first
Hell yeah
