Hey Emgo, if you see this: Since you mentioned the lack of combiner peg, on a tangentially related matter: Did you ever collect all the Fembot combiners? And if yes, may I tempt you into showing them all combined on a video?
I would like to see this mold reconfigured so the vehicle mode is relatively the same, but engineered to be a bit more included in the robot mode other than a backpack. I know that they did it that way since these are female characters, but if they could do that for a male character, so they can include the vehicle mode parts, I'd go for it.
I'd like to see them do a larger dinobot lady. I made one with a kentrosaur alt-mode using lego, so it shouldn't be too hard. Granted, doing different body-types would vastly increase the number of vehicles they could use for fembots.
@Sci Fi different transformation aside, they LOOK the same. You could give them all the same colour scheme and you'd be hard pressed to find a difference. We have variety in the "male" transformers, yet very little in the female. The most recent varieties we've had are Strika or Strongarm
This mold is fine as Chromia. And of the two major fembots in the franchise that have the proper excuse of being slender and even sexy, the only ones who would be are Nightbird and Blackarachnia, being a kunoichi and femme fatale black widow, respectively. Arcee, going with Titans Return. Blurr's frame gives her a kind of sporty big sister look. Was never really a fan of her original design anyway, not even of the Princess Leia buns helmet. Nightbird can have her old Generations mold if I'm not feeling the Siege version Elita, Power of the Primes. Very She-Hulk in proportions, and that's never a bad thing. Chromia...can keep the Siege mold as the neutral form, unless she gets a mold that translates to her being the rough gal Windblade's fine with either Generations or Titans Return.
Drift could really use a new Generations toy. I have the original, and it's nice, but it's also kind of showing it's age. There are multiple movie versions of the character, and I've seen the Cyberverse toy, but I really want a new classics style figure.
Right now Emgo is working on a new video special. Its a solid hour of every vehicle mode spin...."let's get down to transformation LETTTTSSSS!!! (spin ensues)
The Takara one is still the best one IMO to. But if this one looked at little better I still would've bought two of'em to be the Takara Nightbird's "Foot Klan". But oh well, here's hoping they make more female bots using better molds moving forward. Loved the ending of this video though!
Or Nightbird having been retaken by the the Decepticons and being even more upgraded into a full-fledged sentient Transformer. Something that the original episode suggested had already happened as she glared angrily at the Autobots as she was deactivated and placed into storage at the end of the episode, despite supposedly being stripped of all the alterations that the Decepticons made to her. If they'd already given her the spark of sentience, giving her a body that could actually transform would be easy.
I have the Takara Nightbird Shadow figure, and it's a tough figure to top as an excellent repaint and retool of the Thrilling Thirties Arcee. But as one of those cartoon only characters who I always wanted a figure of, I couldn't resist getting the Siege version as well. And it will do nicely as an inexpensive alternative to the now pricey Takara figure. I do like her, though I do wish that she had a sword. Or at least that Hasbro had repainted Lionizer in matching purple as a Decepticon Battle Master.
Her range of leg articulation without that silly crotch plate that keeps popping off is Amazing, Makes me wish they did without it or attached it some other way.
I will say that I do prefer the darker gray on Nightbird. Not for accuracy's sake, but I like the color in general. That said, I agree that the Legends one is still better.
Anyone else think that Nightbird should be a recolour of Windblade instead of a car? She is NightBIRD after all. Also Windblade has a Samurai or Geisha inspired head design so Nightbird could have the "Ninja" head design?
Kinda tired of this mold being used on the female transformers. Hate seeing the arms just hanging out the back on Chromia, Nova Star, Moon Racer, and now Night bird. Time for an upgrade.
I totally understand, just like I was tired of all the Combiner Wars molds used for Victorion. But I figured that it was a test to see if we'd really buy a whole team of female Transformers. We did! So now we they gave us Elite One and the rest of the female Autobots from The Search for Alpha Trion. And I'm hoping that because we bought them, despite them all being repaints/retools of the same basic mold, that the door is now open for them to do proper individual versions of all the female Transformers.
It's kind of why I want Titans Return Arcee and Power of the Primes Elita-1 over the other versions. Sure Generations/Legends Arcee's more accurate, and the better accurate toy than the Earthrise, but the way Blurr's mold was remolded and painted to be Arcee, it works pretty well as a fembot. Same with Nautica. But yeah, screw cartoon accuracy, we need more diverse fembodies. Airazor was probably the first one. Only Blackarachnia's sexiness is honestly non-negotiable, spider bust and all, coz it's part of her being a black widow. It's part of the very character, in a way it's not for the other fembots. Nightbird COULD be the other exception due to being a ninja (though work will have to be done with that car kibble of hers)
I hope they make a super articulated nightbird that doesn't transform. It's kind of annoying having stuff needed for transformation on her and it would be easier to make a non transforming one. It would still be show accurate.
So we now that ninjas can bloosh when you don't know what going on and can do A big BLOOOOOSSSH from out of nowhere. I think Mascot in big trouble from now on.
But Nightbird was never a transformer. She was a robot built by humans and programmed to be a giant ninja, for the purpus of having a plot for an episode. Megatron then steels and reprograms her to infiltrate the autobot base. She never actually transformed because she couldn't. That episode was also comedicaly racist. The idea of female ninjas was combined with giant robots by a Japanese scientist of all things.
Starscream: "she's not so hot!"
Megatron: "She's hot enough to replace you whatever I choose!"
Starscream:Replace me? NEVER!!!
Replace me as second in command, or?...
This is why people write Megatron/Starscream slash fiction. ;-)
Such a classic scene.
Megatron x Nightbird confirmed🤣🤣
If we remove all of her vehicle mode kibble, we can have a cartoon accurate Nightbird who wasn't a Transformer in the first place.
9:08 I used to be a robotic ninja like you, than I took a blooooosh in the knee.
Hey Emgo, if you see this: Since you mentioned the lack of combiner peg, on a tangentially related matter: Did you ever collect all the Fembot combiners? And if yes, may I tempt you into showing them all combined on a video?
"She's everything I've always wanted"

They need to make a different feminine bot mold. That being said, this does look good
I would like to see this mold reconfigured so the vehicle mode is relatively the same, but engineered to be a bit more included in the robot mode other than a backpack. I know that they did it that way since these are female characters, but if they could do that for a male character, so they can include the vehicle mode parts, I'd go for it.

11:34 Nightbird be like: You can thank me later!
The episode from G1 Transformers with Nightbird was the best
@Sideswipemusprime probably
You know what Megatron, you can have your Ninja's. They got Drift with all of his HONOR!!!!!
i see what you did there, ninja vs samurai
Drift could really use a new Generations toy. I have the original, and it's nice, but it's also kind of showing it's age. There are multiple movie versions of the character, and I've seen the Cyberverse toy, but I really want a new classics style figure.
These'a DecepTICONS *HAVE'A NO HONOR!!!!!!!!*
Don't need honor when all your enemies are dead
I have always said that she looks like a futuristic Batmobile
And Chromia is a blue futuristic batmobile.

Megs just gave Ironhide the business... that poor guy can't catch a break
But Ironhide wasn't the one who got tossed like an old mattress.
Who else wishes Nightbird was a reaccuring villain in G1, and the rest of the franchise? 🤺
Come over to the Decepticon side, we have ninjas and burritos ... well just ninjas, Megatron doesn't share the burritos.
Nightbird is the First female Deception in the franchise. 💯👍🏻
Oh I thought Megs was gonna throw her into a flying kick.
Megs is best! Now he has Ninjas he is even cooler. that last line is great. "Ya we got Ninjas. SUCK it!
to bloosh or not to bloosh...that is the question...
Bloosh is always the answer
1.5 years later i got to 5:55 and coincidentally I had banging going on in my background from something down the street... creepy stuff i love it.
Another one for the collection right next to Lancer
I store the grenades on her forearms. I also gave the her the swords from the Dr. Wu Chromia upgrade kit, looks pretty good.
I couldnt hear the banging until he pointed out the banging, damn you Emgo
Megatron:we have ninjas
Optimus:well we have a samurai
*drift appears out of no where*
Megatron: we have TWO samurais! -points to Bludgeon and Banzaitron-
@@AksulKrumpskragga Optimus: We have several ninja of our own
A ninja that has no honor
so it’s Primes two ninjas and one samurai vrs. Megatrons two samurais and one ninja
UnderlordZ Jazz can fight as long as Setinel Prime doesn’t screw things up
Ironhide didn't get shot this time😂
Looking back as an adult, there was a lot of subtext in "Enter Nightbird".
She did have a big chassis and that i am gonna have to complain about on this figure.
i love the end skits wished he did a series of it
I'm this version of the character exists for those want a Nightbird - but maaaan am I glad I able to get the Takara version when she came out.
Omg i have never laughed so hard at this skit. nightbird stole the show. lol
Are you going to be reviewing the Selects Seacons when/if they release?
Nightbird has a nightstick but it’s not “Nightstick”.
Her head reminds me of dotm human alliance elita-1
I hope there's a generation selects of Black Convoy based on the Earthrise Optimus.
they already made black convoy based on siege voyager optimus
If you can find one.

Your neighbors are probably trying to make a way in your house to get to your kick ass Transformer collection!
She needs purple clear energy-effect nunchucks
it occures to me if the kiddle was removeable it could make an also mini bot liek Prime's rover or a shield....
Megs final line to Ironhide ....LMAO!!!!
11:18 NINJAS THAT"S RIGHT NINJAS DO YOU HERE ME NINJAS!!!
11:41 that's right WE HAVE NINJAS... SUCK IT!!!
wow.
Are you going to get the generations selects lancer? I know it’s a lot of the same mould, but Orthia does look pretty cool
I waiting on the next Nightbird that should be released in the third wave of the toyline.
The only issue I have with this toy is that nightbird never was able to transform
Then don't transform her
Well, this isn't that Nightbird as she was created by humans.
Or Nightbird having been retaken by the the Decepticons and being even more upgraded into a full-fledged sentient Transformer. Something that the original episode suggested had already happened as she glared angrily at the Autobots as she was deactivated and placed into storage at the end of the episode, despite supposedly being stripped of all the alterations that the Decepticons made to her.

Great review and great skit thank you Emgo 😀😊
I think Nightbird would be a great companion to Storm Shadow.

I always loved emgo reviews
He keeps opinions and trash talk to a low and just give us the reviews
I will say that I do prefer the darker gray on Nightbird. Not for accuracy's sake, but I like the color in general. That said, I agree that the Legends one is still better.
Blooossshhhh!!!!!!!!! Love the blooooosssshhhh!!!!!! 🤣😅😂
I died when I saw that part. His best Bloosh ever!! 🤣🤣🤣
Roflmao Megs had me DYIN!!😂 "SUCK IT!!"
Not quite as great as the first one. But I do like it still.
And they still didn't use this mold for the Siege Arcee :(
I'm now waiting for a Smokescreen review
I might buy this one based on love of the design alone!
WOOO!!!! NIGHTBIRD FINALLY GOT A TOY
LOL Hasbro getting risqué with their figures.
Thank you for this video.
Had to give this one a like. It was on 666 lmao. Love yo face Emgo! Been following since u first introduced Mascot!
Have u seen the upgrade kit it’s on ebay
I’m having issues connecting the grenades together :/ it’s like the holes are too small but idk if I can get in there to shave them down
Only the trues can remember this character ! ;) che was so badass and created by us ! ^^
Would love to see proper masterpiece fembots one day.
I kind of wish they used the combiner version instead of the Cromia version
I wish they had come up with a new mold
Why?
I actually want to hear your input
Surprise we got her first before Arcee
Emgo u should review the bmb ls-04s its the new black mamba revenge of the fallen starscream,looks amazing.
Anyone else think that Nightbird should be a recolour of Windblade instead of a car? She is NightBIRD after all. Also Windblade has a Samurai or Geisha inspired head design so Nightbird could have the "Ninja" head design?
Could you do a tour of your house and will you be giting unicorn
Cool skillet

He is getting unicron. He confirmed it multiple times already
A tour of the the house?
And i did not know ok
I don’t know why but I imagine Nightbird having a valley girl accent
You are the GOAT emgo!
Can't have enough blooooosh!!!
Cool night bird can transform now
Eyes up here not down there
i love you emgod you are real Jesus

MORE SOUND EFFECTS!!!!
Blooshing Ninjas!!!!
I had a bad day please cheer me up
I feel like this would be better if you could just take that huge backpack and leg panels off.
I hope they make a super articulated nightbird that doesn't transform. It's kind of annoying having stuff needed for transformation on her and it would be easier to make a non transforming one. It would still be show accurate.
Does hasbro pulse ship to Ireland?
I don't know. you'd have to message them and ask.
No sword huh? Bummer
Im using the 30th anniversary Windblades sword. Looks ace
2:38 it looks like a skull on chromia's windshield is staring at us. Haha 💀
All transformers fans I have a question should I get zeta toys Unicron/core star or zeta dinoknog/volcanicus
Nightbird doesn't transform, it was an earth made robot, not a Cybertonion.
Is this something from the IDW years.
Don't know. I've never read anything from IDW.
No. IDW never featured Nightbird, which I'm guessing was because their version of Arcee stole a lot of her thunder.
Looks like Lockdown
So we now that ninjas can bloosh when you don't know what going on and can do A big BLOOOOOSSSH from out of nowhere. I think Mascot in big trouble from now on.
9:23 BLOOOOOOOOOOOSH
