Not having a strong connection to Straxus made me write off this figure. Then I got Kingdom Galvatron and fell in love with the figure. Then I took a look at this boy, and now I need him!
You have no idea how happy I am to finally have this figure!!! I have waited almost as much as any fan of the Marvel Comics did for Straxus to get a figure. While I never owned Comic #17, which did feature this character, it wasn’t until my bro and I watched Jon Bailey’s (EpicVoiceGuy, or Jon3.0) Prime Review of Thrilling 30 Darkmount was when we were like “WHO IS THAT AND WHERE CAN WE READ THE COMIC?!” We eventually did read it at a comic shop in our hometown, before it closed down. My brother and I always described him as the Bane of Transformers. Such an absolute menace of a character. And this figure is just a wonderful representation of the character. So, for me, SS86 Prime, Straxus, Cybertron Hot Shot, and Magmatron, have instantly become my favorite Transformers figures of 2024.
I think the symmetry of the black “ink” streaks makes them look better than the ones on Shockwave and Grimlock. They might as well be just a normal part of the design.
3:50 What do you mean by Black and Red as far as I’ve been able to find or remember he’s always been primarily Blue and Red in the comics. If they wanna reissue Straxus I wouldn’t mind a Yellow and Green Variant for his SG variant
So in some images of Straxus he's much darker in color. To my eyes it's more black, but I guess it's a really dark blue. I have trouble with shades when they are very similar. A shattered glass variant would be awesome. Love that he's a poet
@@TTMMH42 I've got the kingdom version and it doesn't have deep scratches going around the bottom of the leg like yours does. It looks like someone ran a hot pin around it or something
So after I completed the video I found that I mistransformed him. His chest panels actually fold up slightly to form to the cannon better.
Ah you missed one of the best parts of
I just found out about that bit myself

Such a great way to get another use out of that mold!

Straxus is one of those unapologetically evil 'Cons that you can't help but love. He just melts your heart, and frankly, all of you.
You know what they say, he who smelt it .... Was probably Straxus

Now we just need comic-accurate Blaster to fight him!
oh man I don't think I can justify a 5th purchase of that mold. Though I did decide to sell the kingdom version
This guy looks awesome 🎉 great video
Thank you!
Straxus looks like his own figure despite being s retool of Kongdom Galvatron.
Are we going to get Scrounge?
Omg what have you done to galvatrons leg with those god awful scratches? 1:47
That's the "battle damage" paint apps in the kingdom version

@@shaunhandley3050 I don't know what to say, that's how he came. It's just paint on mine
Poor scrounge 😂
