Ahh...I see what you did there. Firefly and Slingshot share the same mold, so placing them in the same place allows AB to have that PTSD flashback. Clever girl...
@@tartatovsky please excuse 14 year old me, I thought these simple shot compositions were revolutionary at the time. I now know that I was just a dumb kid who knew nothing of video production.
3:05 Unfortunately, the Canadian interesting points are still lagging behind the US interesting points, however the Canadian quirky points are trading better than the US quirky points, so it ends up as a wash in the big scheme of things.
You probably won't reply to this or whatever, but can you make a series out of this sequences you do? That shit is so entertaining it's unreal. My favorites have been this one, The Hercules on and The Colossus. You do such a killer job. too good man.
Also this puts a whole new spin on the "slingshot to a war" thing. Poor broken alpha bravo. HE's right about the punch thing though. You gotta problem dude.
Now I hope for a whole video with action sequences like that. Outstanding!! And that end credits scene was great/sad. Way more story then we got in the actual comics with them...
You can practically see him thinking: I want to be part of the Superion team! As the ending showed though, while Alpha Bravo did make to the team, it came at a great cost.
I guess I'm one of the few that likes Alpha Bravo, but that being said, I have been trying to get my hands on Quickslinger for completionist's sake. He's going for too much right now........I also wish I could get my hands on another of skydive's gun so Superion looks more symmetrical. Awesome video and great way to wrap up the aerialbots!!!!!!!!
+Adam21 same here. I appreciate AB helping to complete my Superion, BUT I am still looking Quick, aw hell with that, Slingshot and Wildrider. They go for so much on the after-market.
So it is official, Slingshot's dead, just like Scrapper... I really enjoyed that last bit at the end of the review, glad that I watched this video in its entirety.
When I combine superion with quickslinger I have him and fireflight as legs. There’s just something so satisfying about two symmetrical legs on (possibly) the fastest autobot combiner
JEEZ it might not be stop motion but I dare say what you do may actually be better. Your ability to convey motion through simple camera pans and sound effects is UNPARALLELED!
Please do a monthly recopilation of all the "animated" bits, I'll give you the views good man, on the review: I already have Superion "complete", I'd like to get Quickslinger but he is going for about 40-50, just not worth.
Im just curious, Vangelis, but if i make a stop motion transformers video (if i knew how to make one), can i borrow your idea of Alpha Bravo upset because of Slingshot's death? i promise to credit you
Vangelus , i have a question, what really happened to slingshot, why did alpha bravo took his place, im just curious, if its on the comics, i havent read the comics yet, thats all i have to ask :) XD
That UW Su=ilverbolt is sooooo sexy, almost worth it. I wish I would have gotten it actually, but the Hasbro version is fine. Superion is such a beautiful figure. Could not have been done better. A ball jointed neck would have made it PERFECT, imo.
I dunno about the blue aviators being necessary, Vangelus I mean, I think using the gold paint from the vents would have done fine and been closer to the G1 look. It wouldn't have blended into the face as badly as you think.
Almost missed that awesome story post *other videos plug*... bro do more! I'm going to watch the intro again. Killer story and voice acting! btw what app do you use to distort for robot voices?
I'm beggining to see that the last is is more like a Flashback and that Slinghshot died once Firefly came back to reality, feeling guilty for not protecting his team mates ; n ;
The only reason I was able to get a Quickslinger for the normal price is because nobody wanted to buy it from Toysrus as everyone probably thought it was going to be marked up to $20 like all the other CW deluxe figures. Thankfully, they didn't jack the price up and I was able to get the two for normal prices. As soon as I noticed they were up on Walmart and Target they were sold out but Toysrus had the two in stock for what seemed like over a month but probably more like two to three weeks. Probably the one time the insane price increases at Toysrus lately actually made it possible for me to get figures I wanted. Really though, what the hell is Toysrus' problem lately? Twenty dollars more for Devastator, five dollars more for CW deluxes, upwards of five dollars more at times for CW legends, two to four dollars more for legions and about a dollar or two more for RID 2015 deluxes. Voyagers seem to be the only thing they know how to price correctly. Leader class prices piss me off as it is but the five dollars extra Toysrus charges seems to be a widespread thing for leaders now. I still can't wrap my head around how the ultra class got such a price increase when they became known as leader class though. I think there's more plastic in universe Silverbolt than there is in Generations Jetfire, including the thruster pack (which should've come with the seekers regardless of if it was appropriate or not for the characters just like the Targetmasters should've come with the CW legends retools, they either combine or they come with a Targetmaster). Just take out the electronics and stretch out the super thick plastic on Silverbolt and you have a current leader. Yet it's fifteen dollars and more now than it was then but people are too busy still complaining about the deluxe price increase. Sure, the boxes are leader class boxes but the box is so much larger than the figure that you can fit three of the figure inside and still have room. I compared Jetfire, Grimlock and the Megatrons to Cybertron Megatron and I think he weighed more than all four combined and he was cheaper than any one of them separately at retail. Though I paid next to nothing for Cybertron Megatron, got Jetfire and Grimlock for less than half price each around Christmas last year, paid about ultra price for Armada Megatron and paid the original leader retail for G1 Megatron.
Ah, don't feel bad for Alpha Bravo. Me personally, he is going to be a limb for Sky Lynx to go with Prowl, Rook, and one other figure to be determined later.
I think you should make a skit about some combiners battling each other, like a separate video, about just skit, if you have time, like maybe a subscriber special or something.
I just bought a Hasbro Blast Off that was on sale recently, and after thinking about this and the more recent Combiner Wars Devastator's dramatized bits... (plot twist!) what if the Blast Off deco were to appear? What if the Constructicons decided to be douchebags and turn Slingshot evil somehow, or maybe Blast Off just needed a less out there alt. mode? Something about transferring his consciousness to Slingshot's offline body because his UW/shuttle body was damaged beyond repair in a previous altercation? ... Why am I even speculating about Vangelus' fanon regarding plastic combining robots? :x
:'( I preordered a quickslinger, but right then they said they weren't getting any. I rushed to another place for wildrider, but my lovely jet former was drained from every store I know.
I wish he was that cheap anymore, anymore you are better buying unite warriors version ($100 roughly )and you still save like a deluxe price tag compared to quickslingers aftermarket of like $80-120
I like repaint actually. I know I've said & I'll say it again: If Hasbro could do this, it sure damn well wouldn't hurt them to give us a Deluxe Groove since Takara Unite Warriors Defensor we get, but don't get a separate release.....oh well....😧😒😓😫
See, I'm one to not even want this guy. I like alpha bravo a whole lot more than just another firefly. Then again, I have no attachment to the G1 versions.
Not really complaining but I wish Alpha Bravo was given some more love he is in the comics but jeez if your gonna make another figure then you should learn to give some more love for them hasbro not only favorites and voted characters gets to be made in figure form heck even Rook YOUR BEST CHARACTER MOLD THAT WAS RELEASED was just a one time opportunity and then you let go.....amazing..
Action sequences galore! That "after the credits" scene, the feels.
Sure glad I stuck around for that end bit, even though it got me all sad. Well done.
Aw man! That ending! Right in the feels. Now you make me want to go out and get an Alpha Bravo.
...
Well. That was certainly worth sticking around for.
The epilogue makes me wish I was Rick Sanchez so that I could visit an alternate reality where you're a world famous tokusatsu director.
"Are You alright, Man?"
"I'm competent...And that's more than You can say about Machinima..."
And with that scene at the end, you've given Alpha Bravo as much characterization as IDW has given him so far.
+Buzzing Sign Diner Seems like that's more characterization than IDW's given him, really.
Fredbob392 Both characters I guess.
Fun fact if you look closely you can see that he broken alpha bravo
i am so satisfied with that opening
This is still one of my favorite videos. I really wish Alpha Bravo was more fleshed out. He's one of my favorites from CW.
It seems you still carry the spirit of brave Courage with you. This was amazing. That aftercredits scene... just, wow.
Ahh...I see what you did there. Firefly and Slingshot share the same mold, so placing them in the same place allows AB to have that PTSD flashback. Clever girl...
Why are you acting like it's profound or deep lmao
@@tartatovsky please excuse 14 year old me, I thought these simple shot compositions were revolutionary at the time. I now know that I was just a dumb kid who knew nothing of video production.
@@sambutler953 I did not noticed the original comment was from 6 years ago ahaha
Sorry! And understandable.
That was BY FAR your best sequence at the end of the review! You honestly had me so hardcore.
I fully accept the ending sequence as Alpha Bravo/ Slingshot canon, AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE.
3:05 Unfortunately, the Canadian interesting points are still lagging behind the US interesting points, however the Canadian quirky points are trading better than the US quirky points, so it ends up as a wash in the big scheme of things.
God you could make a series. That ending gave me the feels.
I swear, I keep seeing you everywhere.
You probably won't reply to this or whatever, but can you make a series out of this sequences you do? That shit is so entertaining it's unreal. My favorites have been this one, The Hercules on and The Colossus. You do such a killer job. too good man.
Ian Glaha ikr
can you just make a drama series already? your skits are godamn phenomenal!
Intro, midtro, and outro were all FANTASTIC!! :D
Also this puts a whole new spin on the "slingshot to a war" thing. Poor broken alpha bravo.
HE's right about the punch thing though. You gotta problem dude.
Brilliance, as one has come to enjoy all these years.
You're an editing genius!
Now I hope for a whole video with action sequences like that. Outstanding!! And that end credits scene was great/sad. Way more story then we got in the actual comics with them...
goddam Vangelus! I love the way you do transformation scenes!
821Drifter128 me too!
the feels man,... the FEELS.. *slowly fades into the darkness*
You forget to mention, that coming GCW Blast Off will use GCW Quickslinger mold.
Awesome!! I got goose bumps on the intro for Superion.
Nice intro again! Love the Alpha Bravo part: "amazing..."
You can practically see him thinking: I want to be part of the Superion team! As the ending showed though, while Alpha Bravo did make to the team, it came at a great cost.
tabo hofmann totally! ;)
Awesome intro.. awesome ending.. awesome everything in between..
Awesome montage at the Van, awesome!
Oh... the subtle Sling Shot is dead clips really make me want to make a similar alpha bravo character for a stop motion
Love the opening to the video, would love to see something like this for the Stunticons. :P
Keep up the great work! :D
The end part made me sad. Never thought that would have happened.
I guess I'm one of the few that likes Alpha Bravo, but that being said, I have been trying to get my hands on Quickslinger for completionist's sake.

HOT DAMN I should have waited till after the video to comment because that ending bit was GREAT!
When I combine superion with quickslinger I have him and fireflight as legs. There’s just something so satisfying about two symmetrical legs on (possibly) the fastest autobot combiner
you need to make a short film of this stuff you do at the beginnings of the videos. Because ITS AMAZING at what you do. the VAN MAN.
i love when RUclips videos have After-Credit Scenes.
This is one of those "I wish I could give you another thumbs up" kind of videos.
JEEZ it might not be stop motion but I dare say what you do may actually be better. Your ability to convey motion through simple camera pans and sound effects is UNPARALLELED!
Oh my GOD, THAT ENDING!!!
Aaaand, what did AB say in the intro?
+Gustavo Barrios amazing.
Fantastic video Vangelus. Keep up the amazing work!
The opening is awesome

I don’t think he would care considering the age of his video
Nice ending dude

Habro should pay you bro.. Those transforming action videos make me buy them.. Even Hasbro can't do it that way..

I...I want you to make more minisodes....Because they are Awesome! Nice review too.

You have a talent and I am not a skit guy at all. They are really good.
Fucking awesome review, love the scenes and the way you film them

It's about time Vangelus.... >_
I hope this mean you're gonna do breakneck and deluxe groove (when he comes out) as well as legends groove and the other CW toys :)
what do you think of the nonnef thigh fillers for superion? is it worth the pickup?
I love the small skits you do. Have you considered uploading them as separate videos a-la Emgo? It worked when you reviewed the Protector.
So that's why Alpha Bravo kills the Vehicon Troopers.
DAMN IT VANGELUS!!!! I came here to watch a toy review no feel emotions!!!
#R.I.Pqickslinger
Also, why is Slingshot Mark Wahlberg?
Surprise, Megatron! Meet... Superion!
Love your reviews but if I may make a suggestion maybe consider doing stop motions also? Seriously I really got into that last bit at the end
Awesome intro
Mine had loose ball joints at the hips. This in turn, means the elbow joint in arm mode is also loose. Does yours have the same problem?
on just about every Combiner deluxe I got, I tightened the hip joints with floor polish as soon as I got them out of package
@@Vangelus ok. i was curious if a small strip of paper or cardstock placed in the socket would also solve the problem. what do you think?
I wish he was that cheap anymore, anymore you are better buying unite warriors version ($100 roughly )and you still save like a deluxe price tag compared to quickslingers aftermarket of like $80-120
the unite warriors set is fantastic! do it!
his not missing he is offline according to the idw comics
Do I need to have read the comics to get the ending?
+automan224 TFWiki's got you covered, I'm sure.
How did Quickslinger/Slingshot perish in the IDW Comics?
Prowlastor ripped Superion in half.
Slingshot died in battle as an arm.
I thought the intro was gonna have a joke about blades
I’m sticking to quickslinger
umm, can we get more skits, with an overarching storyline over the combiner wars releases? just an idea
Great...now I actually WANT alpha bravo.
That moment when you decide to get one much later and realize you would have to pay 70$+
I like repaint actually. I know I've said & I'll say it again: If Hasbro could do this, it sure damn well wouldn't hurt them to give us a Deluxe Groove since Takara Unite Warriors Defensor we get, but don't get a separate release.....oh well....😧😒😓😫
I just noticed...Why did you take ABs tail fin off?
+Majinhero it was a super fast way for me to differentiate between flashback & present AB
So, that was Alpha Bravo's Cybertronian mode? Nice. (I never noticed that.) :)
Right now, he's on Amazon for $45!?! That's a bit much...
ALSO
I got nothing else. I just like the word also.
Now he is 90$ on eBay so I'm just going to go buy a knockoff Firefly and swap CW blastoff's head into it. A bit of paint later and Bam, 40$ slingshot
that ending was sad...
Some eye candy
Reminds me of Leader-1 from GoBots
Yeah you do have a problem, and that is you don't do this style of review. I love the voices!
oh wow
that got fuckin dark
Offroad- sugoi!!
4:46- Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.........................oh ebay.
Ok...Still, could had a heavy remold with wings or something instead of a god damn repaint of a fake F-4 phantom Dammit =/
Am I the only one that like slingshot new name quickslinger
See, I'm one to not even want this guy. I like alpha bravo a whole lot more than just another firefly. Then again, I have no attachment to the G1 versions.
Not really complaining but I wish Alpha Bravo was given some more love he is in the comics but jeez if your gonna make another figure then you should learn to give some more love for them hasbro not only favorites and voted characters gets to be made in figure form heck even Rook YOUR BEST CHARACTER MOLD THAT WAS RELEASED was just a one time opportunity and then you let go.....amazing..
