- It's amazing they were able to get this from a wildly different vehicle. Impressive doesn't necessarily mean "good" though

I’m SOOO glad ur back! I missed u a lot
Hello, I was wondering if I could use the sound of huffer whining from your mech fan toys huffer video.
@@orionpaxproductions2702 sure. Credit and all that
@@TheLazyEyebrow thank you.
@@TheLazyEyebrow him whining is just hilarious 😂
I like the torso, his original design had a massive cube for a torso, so keeping the bulk but making it less stupid was great IMO
Looks like a Soundwave chest.
Oh yeah I also see it
Dead End inferior. Soundwave superior.
Yeah
@@Soundwave_gun bruh
I love the 928 so much. My grandfather had one and hopefully I’ll get it one day. I want to get a second dead end and make it green to match that car. Maybe even make a new head as an homage to him. My grandad in transformer form.
That's just beatiful
the 928 is an important car for so many people. Jeremy clarkson was testing a 928 when he got a call his father was dying. He managed to make it to the hospital with a fresh cooked chicken that was still warm on arrival and he managed to say goodbye to his father, who passed 30 min later.
I remember riding in the 928s my aunt had, when that thing hit 60mph you felt it. Fun car.
Those car modes, they've really been nailing it. I can't possibly foresee this set being anything but the G1 representation we've wanted from Hasbro, great job guys, keep it up. 🙃
Until you get to Breakdown, who's a straight up repaint of Wildrider instead of being retooled to look like a proper Lamborghini. (Granted, Combiner Wars had Wildrider as a repaint of Deadend...)
At last! How long have we been waiting for a Dead End in scale with Slag?!
The lack of Dead End x Slag media has gone on for too long
@@TheLazyEyebrow we need to have our dead end and slag romance story. Picture it: Dead slag, a love story
I like to turn mine 180 at the waist. I think the shins look way more interesting as car mode pieces than those flat slabs, and the heels work alright as feet. It also helps distinguish him from Dragstrip. Eventually I'll get around to filing down his knee joints so they can work like this. Then I'll either make a new crotch plate that can peg onto that stand port, or just paint the screws black.
Not a bad idea
I’ve got a set of acrylic paint pens and have just been doing what Hasbro should’ve done with the shins on these figures. It looks surprisingly adequate and is easy and fun, but yeah it’s still the flat slabs. So if I can ever get my hands on this guy I’ll have to look into this approach.
Edit: also I’ve had amazing results with just painting visible screws and pin ends; highly recommend in general, even if not for this case.
He’s alive!
fun fact: burnout (and thus every other skids retool) also has two gas caps
9:03 Now that's a funny joke. If you know who the last Stunticon to release was, you know what I mean.
Just when we needed him the most, he returned
I honestly dont think there are any bad Legacy stunticons
Agreed, but Menasor himself could be better
@@eternaldragon2745agreed
the two gun thing is a reference to the G1 figures having the twin gun missile launcher thing that plugged into the back of the car mode..
The drag strip is so good! I'm so happy they brought back the P34😁
I'm genuinely surprised on how accurate these vehicle modes are in this series.
"MAN! They FINALLY did it! Painted windows!"
...Yeah... You see KO deformation robots with painted windows all the time. Why is this such a rarity for HasTak?
My Celica "Action Package" front bumper has the same holes behind the license plate area. Its a weird design choice
I feel like the Stunticons in general could have benefited from following Wildrider's example (the exception being Breakdown's very obvious _issue_). You'd get a more cohesive look across the whole group in robot mode that'd double as a callback to the original Stunticon toys.
Great review, as always! Thank you! Very muc looking forward to completing Menasor, now. Almost there . . . .
It's good to see back doing reviews again. I enjoy your videos.
Wasn’t expecting a DCAU reference but here we are
I'm happy to see a reviewer who knows how to properly put this bot into car mode. Though the unintuitive car backhalf transformation is another reason the whole half below the waist needs an overhaul.
I didnt really think that TLE aka the lazy eyebrow is dead I just think his busy woth his job and his family and that's fine atleast he still makes reviews
Good to have you back, Mr. Eyebrow.
3 months after the Bulkhead review and I must admit, Dead End was not the review I was expecting
Glad to see another vid!
It's always a good day when The Lazy Eyenrow posts
I love to see you still up and running, I was scared you were shutting down last time I checked out the channel.
I agree, he's best in car mode. I'm still not sure how I feel about having wheels moulded on the inside of his shins. It's G1 accurate, but if i paint them, then it would look like he has six wheels.
I didn't even notice that....😅
you saying combiner wars was years ago amazes me. that was the year that I got into transformers. wow
good to have you back, i was missing your content man :D
i saw your earthrise optimus review and went and bought it and i am glad i bought it, thanks for the recommendation
Good to see you back Lazy!!
I honestly agree and have said everything that the lazy eyebrow said. I remember telling my friend that "The lower down on the figure you go, the worse it gets." I really love the car mode, and I also hate the high heels and chonky legs that majorly hinder movement.
Wonderful review as always!!
It's the last one I neeeeed
This is a dope 8/10 looking figure. I love it
I don't like painted windows, but I didn't notice until you pointed them out about a third of the way through the review, so I must conclude that they look fine on this particular figure.
Love the triceratops being in scale
Another good one! Unfortunately won't be picking up these lads up but excited for the Lego Optimus review!
It's like they knew these would be better off in combined mode hence why they didn't care that much for robot mode. Dragstrip was their best foot forward to get people enticed, then Motormaster for their quality.
Tbh the stunticons were famous for their vehicle modes so it does make sense for them to focus on vehicle mode more (not looking at you breakdown) robot modes seem solid though, i own all of the stunticons and I must say I enjoy all of them to a degree
Yay your back
How did we not notice the innocuous thicker racing stripe?
Dead End: Painted Windows! How Drool!
HES BACK
Dead end is my favorite stunticon, and I think the figure did him enough Justice (could be better but compared to the combiner wars one this is really good), I’d probably even buy it for the alt mode alone even if I didn’t like dead end
You can paired him up with his buddy, Wildrider, recreate the scene from "The Burden Hardest To Bear" episode with Rodimus Prime.
He’s my fav of the group then drag strip and I just found him again at Walmart it was an easy buy twice I’m gonna keep him in box though
Welcome back buddy!
I can feel your excitement for painted window as an avid transparent plastic hater myself
You forgot that the back wheels are supposed to be on the inside of the shins, but they’re on the outside and they have faux wheels molded where the wheels are supposed to go
That is the ONLY Stunticon that i do NOT have!
Yes finally painted Windows. No fragile transparent plastic.
I am both happy...and sad when I finally got him.
I have drag strip and breakdown, and I’m trying to get all of the stunticons
When I looked under the car, there's barely any gap so I was surprised it can still move.
I remember watching his old videos where he was full of action. But it is sad to see how he is not into it like he used to be.
Still am, but in order to fill out the schedule I have my regular videos (which I'm getting back into. circumstances limited my ability to do this for a time) and these diet ones in which I constrict what's animated to a more formulaic approach
I have also been begging for Painted Windows for Years, Any fuigure that does it I praise that Decision
Just as I'm hunting for him and Breakdown, this comes up. Car mode is DEFINITELY the winner here. Robot seems serviceable enough. Car mode, though, is definitely worth getting him for the arm, rather than modding a Dragstrip like some have recommended me to do, due to how seemingly scarce he seems to be.
The last one I need to complete my Minotaur. Having trouble finding
I have Dragstrip and Shadowstrip his G2 buddy
I have 3 out of 5 stunticons, deadend, dragstrip and motormaster
Ignoring the headlights,at 4:42 Dead End looks like a BMW 850CSi.
Dead End Chest looks like Soundwave Chest
I personally like how all of the stunticons look 😅
Unfortuneately for me I feel that Dragstrip has been the only good Stunticon so far. All the others have something holding them back.
I really like him. I think he was handled very well, except for the QC issues in the rear end.
Love the paint-up, toys should be painted!
I liked the Deceptibrow Insignea
Funnily enough, my first legacy stunticon was the last one to be released. Breakdown. I didn’t bother with drag strip until I saw someone else on the shelf, though I may have to resort to online ordering to get the complete set
Wow! I am going to have to order Dead End and Breakdown online, and I think just due to Hasbro’s distribution I’m probably not ever going to bother with one of their combiners again.
He looks like he is wearing boots that go above his knees... lady boots lol
Great to have you back.
And Breakdown is a bit of a let down. They could've easily remolded just the slant at the front plus a line on the Windows and it would have worked. Now it's just a copy of Wild Rider.
I'm surprised you didn't touch on the issue some people have been having with the back end not being able to fully clip together in car mode. My copy suffers from this and I've seen other reviewers have the same problem. I was hoping you would be able to recommend a fix since I feel you're more in tune with the engineering and details than other reviewers. Oh well, maybe you lucked out and got a copy with decent qc. Thank you for the entertaining review as always!
I've seen it covered by a few people and figured I'd be retreading well covered ground. It's a matter of clipping the feet fully in and the putting the legs together
@@TheLazyEyebrow Yeah, I've seen the recommended fixes and even after I get the heel spurs to clip in fully to the back of the rear top, the two legs won't sit flush and it still stays split down the middle. I've tried everything I could think of short of modifying the legs but it just doesn't work for me. Like you said, it's primarily going to stay attached to Menasor's arm so I can live with it. I was just hoping you would see something I was missing other than what's already been discussed online.
@@MrReverbdeluxe The issue you're having likely isn't the same as what everyone else was faced with- the problem everyone else was dealing with was that they weren't tabbing in the feet all the way, you've probably got an outright defect somewhere with your figure.
Each of the levacy stunticons feels great to me. Despite each of their own little problems. I didnt even play with them fully until i got them all together. Thats why dead end became my least liked. To my most liked of thr limb bots.
Yeah. They really should have re-engineered the legs instead.
And if engineering budget was a problem, all they had to do was steal it from Kingdom Sideswipe.
It pretty much solves all the issues the lower half has.
Prime ground for a pricey upgrade kit if you ask me.
How would you suggest coloring the lights on the back of Motormaster’s cab. Is there some sort of legally mandated color layout?
Yeaaaah, I'm glad I never got this. Which is a shame, because I loved Dead End in Cyberverse! But the head being different made me uncertain, and this has sealed my decision
You are totally missing out. These boys are nearly perfect and vastly cheaper then their ugly ass CW toys.
@@Tracks2008 I mean probably, if I were someone who cared about the stunticons as a whole, but I'm only interested in Dead End himself lol
You should 3d print some parts to make breakdown a countach although your car addicted mind is probably going to
Someone already did and I plan on covering it
Hey lazy eyebrow what is your opinion on the new Titan class nemesis
Ayyyyyyy
Meanwhile I have loved all four of the cars but have absolutely no intention of getting Motormaster to complete Menasor lmao
what a strange turn of events
Is that an actual 928 motor sound at the end when he drives off? You seem like the kinda guy who would get accurate engine sounds for all his vids
not the 928 exactly, but it is a porsche inline 6 engine
Sadly, it seems like the robot mode left Lazy *dead* by the *end* of the review
I kinda want to get this and Drag Strip just to swap them at the waist.
Well I know what I'm doing in the finale
@@TheLazyEyebrow oh pretty please
I wonder if it can be done in vehicle mode.
Robot mode will work fine.
Looks like he’s wearing thigh high high heel boots that are just a smidge too small for his feet.
I personally think dead end looks pretty good (I'll take over exagurated DC chest than *C U B E* crotchless torso)
❤... shoutout to jmav David 😅
How did you get the feet to behave?
I may have bought a defective Dead End in one of those 2-packs. When I changed him into a car, the back of the car (legs) barely clip together and the rear bumper/feet won't come together at all. As a result, the rear fender sits loose from the rear wheel wells and windshield.
I just got dead end
I personnally really dislike the painted windows as i flattens the cars, but this one's does look nice somehow
Currently I'm only missing Dead End to assemble Legacy Menasor...
...fingers crossed super hard that our Hasbros hook up a Technobot team like this someday. Me want Computron roar
Good Luck 🤞 I'm only missing Motormaster so I get the feeling I'm never going to have a full Stunticon team
@@anubisdoji1984 I got Motormaster from target for like 78$ plus tax iirc, off their website
That was a couple months ago but it's probably still somewhere btwn 80-100 bones for that big dork 😂 wish I could say the same for SS86 Grimlock :/ missed him, but now I've got the leader class Slug, Sludge AND I pre-ordered Snarl... dudes want more for Grimlock now than I will have paid for all three of those, yikes city
@@thepolarphantasm2319 I missed out on the first 3 SS86 Dinobots so I'm not even going to try for the rest which sucks cause I love the Dinobots as a team, damn scalpers jacking the prices of rare toys
@@anubisdoji1984 when they announced the titan guardian guy I damn near cried, it still hurts that I couldn't get an Omega supreme before they became half a months rent :(
@@thepolarphantasm2319 I know right I've never owned a single Titan class figure but everytime I see one announced I go "here's another figure that's going to be bought out and then re-sold at insane prices." At least the Autobot Ark is still decently priced but damn are the others stupidly overpriced aftermarket
I only got dragstrip. The stock backpack photo of Wildrider looked awful. Once I heard about the yellowing issues on Motormaster, saw Deadend’s feet, and then the reveal of Breakdown… I decided to take a pass on this set. It’s okay, but other bots interest me more. Swell review. I hope you get to review something you enjoy more. Take care, bub.
Well if the two gun thing is an issue you'll be happy to know that breakdown only has a single gun for some reason. It's really odd like everyone has two guns except breakdown at first I'd assume they'd combine together to form some goofy gun based on the wierd peg holes they all have but no they all just work individually
Dead End is supposed to be the way you are describing down to almost the last minute detail. In the G1 cartoon itself Dead End and Dragstrip share design similarities due to both being the arms of Menasor. Just like Dead End and Jazz have much in common.
The original toys were scramble city types. There was no official configuration until they just drew him the same way over and over again
@@TheLazyEyebrow I am aware of the toys but I was talking about the G1 cartoon. Both Stunticons that would become arms were drawn similarly to save some money and time.
What tooling does he specifically reuse from Drag Strip?
Oh...uh... you know....the pins?
It's too bad he doesn't have backward knees otherwise you could've rotate the waist and make the back of the thigh as shins to give him a more unique look
that would actually be pretty cool
the legs would have been way better if they worked the same way as siege/kingdom sideswipe's legs
Do they even share any parts in order for it to be considered a retool?
I use the term loosely. More accurately it feels like they opened up the CAD file and reworked it
When do you reckon you will be getting breakdown?
I would have to find one first
_shrug..._ I can see your points about the robot mode, but I can't say it bothers me either. It looks enough like my hazy childhood memories of the old cartoon to scratch my nostalgia itch all the same. Not that I was ever planning to get the figure either way.
I'm one of those crazy people that was actually satisfied by Combiner Wars... its might still be a highly divergent reinterpretation with some questionably proportions, but I kinda feel the ape-like stockiness suits the kind of bruiser Menasor is supposed to be. Besides, I prefer my combiner teams to actually be fully integrated, not just armor accessories for the leader.
