Hasbro: Hey how's that repaint of that wheeljack lookin toy coming? Gonna name it something normal right? Designer: ...large father Hasbro: What? Designer: LARGE FATHER!
Downshift was a rare instance of a Cybertron toy I didn't get as a kid, so I finally bought one last year. He was on a very beat up card so I got the pleasure of ripping the bubble off the card like I would've when I was five lol
I remember buying Big Daddy. He was the first figure I bought after years and years. I got mine from the movie repaints. Not since G1. He got me back into collecting. He'll always be special. Plus you can't go wrong with a muscle car!
Downshift and Cannonball were my very first transformers when I was little. They were played with a ton and kept in a toy bin, so a lot of their paint has been scratched off. I did manage to hold on to them after all these years and now they sit under my monitor on my desk. I’m hoping Downshift gets a modern figure like Cannonball did in legacy
I LOVE Downshift! I still have him in package! Missed out on Big Daddy, but I'm not upset about it. Downshift is good enough! My favorite figure of that decade for sure!
It feels like they designed Downshift to look like Wheeljack, and then remembered "Oh right we already had a character named Wheeljack (who also looked like G1 Sideswipe but that's another matter entirely) in Armada"
That flea market story is similar to my Big Daddy version Only I paid 2-5 bucks for him since he was in car mode and the guy didn't know he was a transformer
god i remember i got this when i was a kid bc i aced a test and the only figure that was affordable at the time was Big Daddy so i got him and lowkey remember it being one of my favorites. unfortunately tho i had to sell it about a few years ago and i kinda regret it but needed to make more room for more figs yk
I had the “big daddy” toy as a kid and even back then I thought the name was weird so I referred to it as hot rod because I liked hot rod and didn’t have a toy of him.
Any one else notice the Unicron Triliogy has a Street Fighter Situation where three characters names got all switched around? Street Fighter had M. Bison, Vega and Balrog's names all switched The Unicron trilogy had Sideswipe, Wheeljack and downshift's names all switched.
If hasbro won't go back and redo old figures, explain the show deco G1 figures. Explain the beast wars reissue......even though they sold so purely you can find Optimus Primal for the price of a voyager and scorpinok for the price of a deluxe
the funnier part is, the original big daddy was a micrometer!! the smallest transformer scale!!! btw theres only three figures of him, might have to get them, just for the name. and I do wish big daddy had a different head, at least the removal of the ears.
Hasbro were cowards for renaming him "Daddy-O" for one of the Micromaster sets that came out for either Siege of Earthrise (I don't remember which one and I can't be bothered going to TFWiki to check so someone is free to correct me)
"The name Big Daddy would never fly nowadays."
Well, he's called Daddy-O in Earthrise, so...
They should have called it "o-daddy"
Personally, I would've gone with "Large Father" lol.
Thew reference

Designer: ...large father
Hasbro: What?
Designer: LARGE FATHER!
Just the thought of Optimus having to roll call his troops, then having to say "Big Daddy, you are a valiant warrior" that is hilarious to me
Fun fact: The design for '07 Big Daddy would end up being used as _G1_ Big Daddy in the Earth Wars video game!

big daddy is giving serious ghost rider energy

That’s a crazy name
Big Daddy singing CM Punk's theme: Look in my eyes, what do you see? The Cult of Personality.
Had him as a kid and I oved it! Even as a kid I couldn't get over the fact his name was Big Daddy.

BIG DADDY 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great review Jcc2224!!! I have Downshift, but I've never been able to find Big Daddy at a reasonable price. lol Keep on being amazing.
I LOVE Downshift! I still have him in package! Missed out on Big Daddy, but I'm not upset about it. Downshift is good enough! My favorite figure of that decade for sure!
Big Daddy is meta in earth wars
It feels like they designed Downshift to look like Wheeljack, and then remembered "Oh right we already had a character named Wheeljack (who also looked like G1 Sideswipe but that's another matter entirely) in Armada"
they look like perfect alt modes for tap out and cliffjumper
In 2007 for power core combiners, they renamed dragstrip to Spastic
Power Core Combiners was later.
Why do I get the feeling Kevin’s car from Ben 10 was designed off of this toy specifically?
and i was wondering why does this seem familiar

I appreciate the deco was designed in a way the door hinge could be plain orange and blend in perfectly with the flames on the black plastic
The oldest mould I've seen them use is the Thrilling 30 Arcee to make the SS86 version.
5:41 I feel like I know this reference, it's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't quite place it.
please do tell once you remember the reference.
The WFC combat bot was called Daddy-O.
I got him recently as well what a magnificent bot!!
The foist time i saw Doenshift was plsying with a kid furing my brothers 4H meeting and thinking it was a toy of Kevin's car.
I had the “big daddy” toy as a kid and even back then I thought the name was weird so I referred to it as hot rod because I liked hot rod and didn’t have a toy of him.
This toy could have made an amazing Ben 10 crossover figure as Kevin's car.
Wasp is black and green (the animated version of him is at least)

Could you do a old vs new of the g1 cog and the WFC siege Cog?

I wish I could get a Big Daddy for my collection😢
That's what's she said. Literally
He seems casual saying big daddy
Hey J4 Downshift is the only Cybertron figure I would like to get
There was also a big hoss
thats just Kevin Levin's car
Would you rather have a Small Daddy
First comment!
"Fidel Castro"?
Thats the name of one of my channel members... lol
