The reason why he didn’t have Rumble in Bayverse movie
Because he doesn’t want a fourth companion...
It's weird. Had they just not included brake calipers no one would have complained. I don't know why they'd wanna shoot themselves in the foot with such a trivial feature when the rest of the toy is so great. It's like they needed to give people reasons to complain.
Yeah it's strange that they just forgot how to add the brakes when pretty much every other detail is flawless. It's not a big deal of course, but still...
Because now they can sell a 2nd version with "the fix". -transformers marketing 101
@@kohnfutner9637 and a "better" Paint job
Recently,there is a much more pefect sound wave released in China,called CE03. It's only 45 dollars in China.
I'd love one in a more g1 color scheme, but then again I'd also love if soundwave wasn't a car..... and the size of bumblebee lol to me soundwave should've been at least half as tall as Megatron.
Agreed i like this design but not for soundwave. They couldnt even give us his classic voice in the movie.
I think the calipers are somewhat neat. Like points for trying I guess? But yeah it's real distracting and probably should've been left out if they couldn't integrate them like the studio series did
He really look good but I'm sad we will never see the Thung Mung...
To be honest TungMung backpack is not near as good looking compare to NewAge
the tungmung was teased in probs like early to mid 2018, no news on ti since :(
The Pontiac Solstice and the Merceded SLK AMG are basically the same size. They have almost identical wheel base and widths, and the Solstice is about 1 inch shorter in height and 5 inches shorter in length. So the car modes scale really well with each other.
Soundwave is a SLS, not SLK
I got him a few days ago off on ebay and it says Oct. 3rd... coming from China
Hey Trans.
@9ine9ine1ne stoopid It ain't so much that they're not pressured, as it is the pandemic slowing everything to a crawl. I ordered that Legendary Toys LT02 (MPM4 Optimus Prime KO) from a Chinese seller on eBay in May, it came like a couple weeks ago. Hell, it's even slow as paint drying within the US for me; a strategy guide for Pokémon Let's GO Pikachu/Eevee that I ordered in April? What should've taken a couple days wound up taking three weeks.
@@DragoonMS yeah it took me a while to get my Jazz but i feel like i wasted my money since i forgot about the ko Jazz
I think he looks perfect with MPM Jazz and Alien Attack’s “Firage”... or just any official MPM figure and some of the third party ones in general. It just looks so official. It’s hard to even believe that Jazz and Soundwave are built by completely different manufacturers with near identical quality. They even got away with the Mercedes logo on the front somehow, though I’d imagine it’s most likely because it’s more of a simplistic shape as apposed to something like Lamborghini, Ferrari or letters like with GMC, Mack and Hummer for example.
I personally don’t think we need things like oversized Black Mamba figures. I think the official figure sizes are just fine as they are. None of them look out of place even if they aren’t 100% to scale, but it’s not like we have much to go on in the movies themselves anyways, so...
But yeah, I love this figure, I’m surprised how faithful it is to the CGI model, especially considering that it transforms into a car like that. MPM figures are black magic I tell you! Seriously, it’s got to be some witches making those, because I can’t even wrap my head around the simpler engineering of the earlier G1 styled masterpieces with figures like MP-10. But this. This is just a whole new level.
I don’t like the Bayformers movies themselves, but *wow* do most of their robot deigns look good. They might not all be faithful to the G1 representation like with Optimus Prime, Jazz and Shockwave, but that’s honestly not entirely a bad thing since this is obviously supposed to be a much different take. It’s like real life meets the aesthetic of steampunk. It’s great. A shame that most of them are just cannon fodder for one or two of the actual movies though only to never be brought up again. Not like it matters since the films are pretty crappy overall anyways, but I digress. The execution for those were bad, but I do like some of its ideas at least, so there’s that.
Lovely looking figure. I don’t have any transformers figures myself yet, but if I’m going to ever get any Decepticon ones, then this guy is easily in my top 5 must’s to get. I hope we see more movie styled figures from Newage, because for *this* being their first one, it is just already the perfect version of DOTM Soundwave, no questions asked. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Zachary Jorgensen
That’s your OWN personal opinion. The movies weren’t overall crappy. At least not all of them. The first and 3rd movie were good movies, The 2nd and 4th has their flaws but has it’s goods as well and the 5th movie is definitely not good. The execution were not that bad. The overall cgi, action, movements and voices of the robots were done well. While not being the best series to get into transformers, The bay movies has their pros and obvious cons but not to the point they’re overall crappy. They could’ve benefitted with giving the robot cast more screen time and making the human characters less centric.
@@easportsbro Yeah what I meant by being overall crappy are the human portions. 9 times out of 10 they're full of bad acting. If it was more centered on the robots, then the movies would've been made and fleshed out a lot better. I can excuse the first film a little since its the first time they're on Earth even if a lot of the human segments are still cringy, but afterwards it really should've just mainly been about the transformers themselves since that's the namesake of the movies and is more interesting in concept to develop lore around. But since the humans are still in these movies, they got carried away and started to lose track of what happened especially by the time of TLK. Had they just been 95% about them, then they probably wouldn't be as poorly received as they are. They cared more about star power than the actual characters in the movie, which is very unfortunate. Had that been the case then characters like Jazz, Soundwave or Lockdown would've been utilized a lot better.
Oh well, I'm just glad these figures exist and that more are starting to pop up now. This is what things like stop motion is for.
Zachary Jorgensen
The human portions weren’t 9 out of 10 all crappy acting. I’d say at least 3.9 out of the 10. There were plenty of scenes of good acting with human characters. Yes even in ROTF, AOE and TLK despite the acting in those 3 movies not being all that great. Both TF1 and DOTM were the best when it came to the acting of those human characters. Hell even scenes with humor were funny when that Bay-ish comedy actually landed and worked to make people laugh, Especially in both ROTF and DOTM. Bay’s style of acting for the human portion of characters constantly switches tones from humor, bit of cringe, seriousness then humor and it goes on. That kind of style of acting shouldn’t really belong in live action movies about 2 factions of giant robots fighting a war on earth but in the end it did for straight 5 films and I personally don’t mind it since I got used to that constant Bay acting from TF1. You’ll likely find me ridiculous of me saying this but most of those human scenes (Especially scenes with the transformers with them) are what made the Bayverse what it is today. Sure the Bayverse could’ve been way better with main focus on the actual transformers characters, Yet the stories in the first 5 films did a well enough job at least involving the transformers. Even Prime, Megatron and Bee were done good as consistent main characters while the rest, Yeah not so much. Even Megatron got some development in DOTM and Prime in AOE. I do agree that afterwards TF1, The movies should’ve been more centric on main name of the films and definitely explore more lore. I feel AOE was one of films to explore some of that lore with the whole “creators flashback” and “Lockdown’s Knightship”. Hopefully the Bumblebee Universe explores a lot of it’s lore like “The Great War of Cybertron” and most importantly having the main focus be all on the transformers for movies part of that universe. You’ll probably disagree with most of my comment and that’s fine. I’ll still respect your opinion.
This is pretty cool. Wouldn't have expected NewAge to get into the Masterpiece scene. Seems like another one to look into getting!!
Oh yeah...the instructions can't be as bad as the Legendary Toys LT02 instructions were...those seem ripped straight from the (equally trash tier) Hasbro instructions. 😏😏😏
He's on the way, so excited.gonna fit so well with my MPM esque Shockwave that's also coming. God I LOVE DOTM. I plan ot make some drone customs. We NEED MPM Sentinel and DOTM Megatron. I hope Zeus/BMB/WJ do the same thing they did with the shockwave, or especially those Optimus', to the SS Sentinel Prime. Oh what a dream. Rubber tires, diecast, weathering, LED's, you name it.
how did a third party company get the rights to use the mercedes logo?
The Ravage is so nice. Main thing I want from this.
He isn't the one who decapitated QUE,It's actually Barricade.:)
How did they not get sued for using the actual Mercedes bens logo
The NewAge Mista looks much better in alt mode then the official MPM Jazz. Beautiful figure. The arm proportion especially looks much better then the MB version. That leg transformation looked painful. Thank-you for the review Ben.
*than
Would've liked to see a sizewise comparison with Human Alliance to see if it's a worthy replacement
Guido Mista
Bloody brilliant review of an amazing figure. I'll go ahead and get that one then...
Thank you for your amazing work Ben. I'm so proud to be a Patreon of yours. Anyone else, I can highly recommend being a Patreon
Oh my god, another new Transformers builder who makes beautiful statues.
Not really "new", Newage has been releasing a ton of 3P Legends scale figures for awhile now, and is directly connected to DX9 and Unique Toys, who already gave us Lockdown, Hot Rod, AoE Optimus, and TLK Megatron.
5:02 Nah it was Barricade tahjt executed Wheeljack/Que, at first a decepticon drone blasted him
Man I really love this figure but the instructions are atrocious, I was forced to scour for reviews and reverse engineer it to get it figured out. A lot of fiddling, trail and error and sore thumbs but man, best figure I own minus the instructions!
Nice,but wAy too expensive ,over $250 in Canada.......come on🙄😬🤔😡
Obsessed well you can can get it at TFS express like I got mine it should be 99.99 - $130
@@soundwavesuperior5429 thanks, I do like it and I'm just tired of these companies always jacking the prices up. There was a time when you bought a third-party figure from China at really reasonable price but doesn't seem that way too much anymore
@@obsessedfortoys mista is a great figure but you are so right. I am sick of mpm and MPs just severely making it 30-£600 (for me ), to expensive
@@soundwavesuperior5429 right? That's why I still say that black mamba and Wei Jiang are pretty much your best bang for your buck right now, they are not great but they are good and cheap... Well still relatively cheap🤔✌🙂
@@obsessedfortoys exactly
Since my broken shockwave (zs-01) i am holding back on third party now
You bought an oversized knockoff from a company that pumps out tons of KOs every month with almost zero improvements to the originals, but you're avoiding all original third party developers in general now? Sound logic...
ZS-01 is just a flawed upscale of the studio series Shockwave that can't handle the added weight. There is also a Dream Factory version I believe that's going to come out eventually, and they're already well known for making their own new version of movie Bonecrusher, so I would look forward to that if they're still making it. And even if they aren't, this isn't to say that some other third party company will make one of their own.
Newage Mista is a completely new figure with no reuse of past molds. It's all original and has the same quality you'd expect out of the MPM figures like Jazz and Barricade, and therefore also as equal as the third party quality you'd expect out of DX9 La Hire and Alien Attack Firage.
@Josh Phan i got the second batch and the ratchet joints are good but the joint that spread the legs out broke into pieces, waiting for the replacement parts
@@adamluther5836 my dragoon comes with broken knee when i open the box, when i bent it slides like butter so i perform a surgery, and find out 1 of the pillars that holds the knee joint was broken an bent with an obvious stress mark, thankfully 3 weeks later i got the replacement parts, so i even once receive a original third party figure
@Josh Phan the second batch did reinforce the joint that kicks forwards and backwards, but i got slapped in the face with the faulty spread to the side joint, when i contacted my seller, he said that all of the ones who PO and got the second batch failed at the same place, so we're doomed
Someday I'll get him
So wait is he mp scale?? Cause I see so much controversy around him being legends but also people saying he fits with mp oversized figures. What’s your take?😊
I would say he is better suited to the oversize collection
@@BensKOllectables ok so oversized Starscream and desperado would look movie accurate all together?
What kind of topspin figure is that? That isnt the deluxe class or tf dream factory right?
Just ordred mine and he's labelled as "XM1-A (version A) Mista". Would you know how that's different from "XM1-B" that the other videos on here have? Thanks man and cool review as always
I think version a includes laser beak and not ravage
Ok...... he is more than double the price of Shockwave!!! Gouger says what?
Black Mamba would have done it for around $90 Ls 15 was less than half price !!!
Well... It's BM is a KO, so...
@@gregformercy so is that,
Newage makes the best legends scale so I know the guy is awesome. Great review once again.
Shockwave's canon height comes to 40ft
Shockwave is 31feet but good guess
Want!!!!
Why is this on the KO channel?
Like i sad at the begging of the video , I’m migrating some of my third party ones to here as well
@@BensKOllectables Oh...alright. Also, your vids are great.
Hey Ben, what are your thought on Wei Jiang getting shut down?
I know you don't want my opinion but I thinks it fucking sucks I was thinking getting black apple optimus prime:(
Did they ever do an oversized bayverse soundwave? I'd love an os soundwave tricked out with high quality paint apps and build quality. I enjoy g1 mps in the scale their takara scale but the movie figures really need the larger size and better paint apps ko companies do to reach their full display potential. Love they way they look in my displays next to my hot toys figures and the like.
Amazing. I want IT now!
Can you do a masterpiece height comparison
Isn't this the car Michael Jordan drives?
Looks like a decent bot, very screen accurate... too bad the movie bots fuckin suck, great review as usual!
I've been trying for years to like these designs but I just can't, and the movies/designs I like the most are the 2 movies and designs everyone universally hates!
I would like newage movie series to make the arcee sisters and Ironhide since the mpm is shitty
Does anyone have any suggestions 😀
Me likes! Me likes :3
Ugh. The Bayverse is so pointy. I'm sure the third parties sharpen them points up to ensure maximum personal damage, as they do.
This doesnt look like mista at all 0/10
