I think the older one does the trench coat better because of the curves, it actually looks more like it’s a coat behind the legs rather than just being the leg.
I’m surprised there isn’t a third party figure of him. Meanwhile just about (if not all) every main transformer of AoE have one. I mean, Drift just got his first true triple changer figure. So there’s still hope.
I kind of wish that when they were designing this guy for the movies that instead of trying to turn most of the car mode into a trench coat (granted a pretty cool idea) they had designed so the trench coat was like a dust cover for the car in vehicle mode which could store in the tunk of the car for when he was driving around but could be used as an actual cloth trench coat in robot mode (granted they probably would have to make the coat like a black or grey cloth) but they could keep the car deco the same it just wouldn't be as prominent in robot mode
Looking behind the robot figure reminds me of the robot modes of any TF Alternators character wherein each looked so messy but the vehicle mode is amazing
(Edit: I got my Crosshairs today and I Like him and it is safe to say that mine has very good QC he's nice and tight minus the coat parts) My favorite Bayverse character ever and I am glad we have an option to remove the car hood for a cleaner look. Hopefully mine will have tight ball joints like my Bumblebee brawn's Arms when I get it
Like Studio Series Galvatron (who should have been a Leader), I think this one would have worked out a lot better as a Voyager release. If I remember correctly he was a half a head taller than Bumblebee, so I think the overall budget would have worked out like on SS86 Hot Rod, giving us a more complex toy with a load of accessories (parachutes, blast effects, a little Cogman)
Yeah, no. Not everyone is made out of money. Plus, all of the extra accessories you mentioned are pretty useless (Parachute is relevant to only one scene, blast effects were unnecessary in the first place and should’ve been sold separately from figures), just like SS86 Hot Rod’s.
If you really want to just give Hasbro more money for absolutely no reason, I'm sure they have a donation box somewhere. Look at some of the amazing deluxe and terrible leaders that have come out, increasing size class does nothing to improve a figure.
I think your review actually convinced me to go in on this guy after all this time of initially being kinda unimpressed with him, I think I’ll grab him eventually down the line now^^ (along with Ironhide too!)
Im suprised Hasbro and Takara made all 4 of the wheels pinned, usually its all pegged wheels or both pegged and pinned wheels. I hope this is a standard going foward.
OK, so Crosshair’s transformation is a little AOE Deluxe Lockdown/TLK Deluxe Hot Rod, and a little ROTF Deluxe Sideswipe, with some clever improvements. Awesome figure, though, yeah, the TLK Deluxe side panels did look good, for the time. Really glad the Studio Series figure includes two guns now. The green really pops for Corvette mode, and great detail in both modes. Thanks!
Would’ve been cool if they made the leg wheels swing around inside the legs to form the calf’s, would’ve helped fill the legs out a bit. If they painted the insides of the cars side frames, that are exposed from the back of the figures robot mode, to be black with green pinstriped highlights, that would improve the trench coat look. Maybe make the shoulder guards & arm guards, black with green pinstripes, and gunmetal/copper highlights on the mechanical details. As well as add an inside arm panel that hinges open to allow the hands to store in vehicle mode. The panel could have gunmetal/copper mechanical details.
@@Flandre_Scarlet8 and make it non transformable. For people who actually buy _Tranformers_ to _transform_ then, that's not an option. Also, being able to remove a significant mass of a figure and have it be better is not a good thing.
I found if you remove the tabbed spoiler and shimmey around the backpack so it's underneath the panels and leave it partially collapsed it has a more rounded trenchcoat look and all you have to do is an extra 180° turn when transforming into the alt-mode. The only downside is the back wheels are exposed but I personally don't mind that as much
I feel the opposite. I'm fine with the last version. To me this has so much wrong. Things still seem off to me and it just has to do with how difficult it must be to make that character into a toy. I do get the feeling that this figure might be better in hand than watching photos or videos though.
I modded the collar so he has full neck rotation. It makes a WORLD of difference when posing. The only thing I still have issue with is the shoulders. They get in the way a lot. But overall I actually really like this figure.
Both figures aren't bad in my opinion. Both have pros and cons. I think the SS is the best! The original isn't bad by any means but still, both are worth it
Just snagged on clearance and once again SS figures in hand are much better than pics. Super fun to transform for me and feels great in hand and love the weapon storage.
I hate the studio series one, my copy had the worst peg issues, the back wouldn't stay on and it wouldn't trasform like the instructions showed it, after a while I gave up, I took the guns and threw it into a box and forgot about it
Hey Toy Guy I recommend you to buy the Transformers SS 38 Bumblebee Movie OptimusPrime, or Premium Finish Version of it, you'll regret playing with it..
Honestly for me i think the studio series is like even better than the last night. also my last night chrosshairs all four wheels kept falling of when it being spun so i was very disappointed
I love Crosshairs design and the figure isn't the best but still an awesome design. They did really well and I love how the flaps become the front of the car
I'm was so pissed and still am at hasbros distribution I could never find Hot Rod nor Crosshairs in my area but I found so many Fallens and now Hod Rod and Crosshairs are so expensive now on Amazon and The Fallen is still retail price on Amazon
Unpopular opinion: i think if we ever get another crosshairs it should have a black and green painted SEPERATE trenchcoat piece(cloth or plastic)and they should make a base figure that can transform without all of these annoying and BIG kibble bits....
The failure of this character's toy made me trade all my studio series transformers for GI Joe classified figures. I'm sticking with G1 looking Transformers
I honestly can't like this figure as much as i tried, the backpack is and kibble management is throwing me off, plus if you start posing the cape the illusion breaks because of how flat the and thin the actual robot mode is.
1:02 that's not true. Crosshairs in the movie is more of a jade green than lime green. You might have noticed if you had, say, included an actual still from the movie here instead of just _saying_ it's more accurate based on your own memory.
The Age of Extinction version did it much better than this, while the updated design of the figure is nice, the Age of Extinction version nailed the trenchcoat.
I hate the ss crosshairs because like the original it transformers the wrong way the back is supposed to be the bottom of the trench because the front is needed to make the front of chest
I already figured out the fron of crosshairs trench coat is made by the roof spilting in two and the doors forming the bottom the figure isnt hard to make the designers just got lazy if they put in as much effort as they did with the old leader class prime we would have good figures
A friend gave me his old one cause he didn't want it. I quickly realised why, it is so bad. Easily my least favorite tf figure to date id rather own Og rachet or ironhide. also doesnt help I have the version which replaces most of the silver with matte black plastic*cough, cough* aoe
Crosshairs makes me sad, because he feels like he should be cooler? He's my favorite car, in my favorite colors, and he has a badass gimmick with the trench coat... but then he's just nothing. No personality, no interesting moments, just... white noise.
I think I still prefer the look of the AOE figure,this and the TLK one just look terrible to me… …also the Tracks recolor that had Hot shots name on the box for some reason looks really cool.
the car panels that are supposed to configure a trench coat at first to me looked like really large thighs
Get your head out of the freaking gutter
Nice
I mean... I ain't complaining
I think the older one does the trench coat better because of the curves, it actually looks more like it’s a coat behind the legs rather than just being the leg.
@@GeoKingNavia dawg navia ain't a queen also ur 1 of the sussy genshin impact players
I like the way the parts of the hipskirt/coat that ends up inside the car look like sporty car seats. That's a nice touch.
I’m surprised there isn’t a third party figure of him. Meanwhile just about (if not all) every main transformer of AoE have one. I mean, Drift just got his first true triple changer figure. So there’s still hope.
I mean, there hasn't been a Stinger or Hound so
@@chadderbug7587Hound did actually have a third party figure a long time ago
I’ve yet to see a Not-Bumblebee.
Metagate said they're gonna do a Crosshairs too, so hopefully that becomes a reality cause I think of them as a pair.
@@RingoLoadagain holy shit where'd you see that?
Crosshairs…that one autobot with an awesome shot it the film and other than that he has nothing to offer.
That's not true. He also had that scene where he lost to C3PO lol
@@marius8436 yep lol
So we’re just gonna ignore his shady behavior that made Hound point a gun at his head?
@@Shevtress The film ignored it so i think it's fine that we do
@@ThyBigCheddar The films never ignored that he does have an ego that made others fight him.

Same!
Which ironhide?
@@sueshi7383 the new SS86 Ironhide that’s from thsi same Studio Series wave as this guy, The Fallen and Hot Rod (the latter 2 I already own and love)
I’m a big crosshairs fan and I really love his design. This fig doesn’t quite catch it, but it’s not awful.
I think it looks spot on… aside from the legs
We need a third-party Blackmagic with this so it can be perfect.
Im suprised Hasbro and Takara made all 4 of the wheels pinned, usually its all pegged wheels or both pegged and pinned wheels.
I hope this is a standard going foward.
Bad news for customizers which needs a soldering iron to heat up the pin and remove it.

Third party companies... come on, make the magic happens!...I need the masterpiece of this
I really hate saying this, but if I worked at hasbro, I would make the robot itself transformable, and the trench coat a separate piece
good idea mwa
Includes alot of backpack, but one of the nicest vehicles!
Well good news! You have an option to remove the car hood for a cleaner look
@@Flandre_Scarlet8 and make it non transformable. For people who actually buy _Tranformers_ to _transform_ then, that's not an option. Also, being able to remove a significant mass of a figure and have it be better is not a good thing.
its an unwritten rules, stock photos must be misstransformed
Crosshair’s Trenchcoat could’ve been a cover on an old red and blue van
Wait crosshairs has a mustache? This is the first I’ve heard of that.

I just got Crosshairs a few days ago and I love him. I ended up supergluing the spoiler on the back.
If i was incharge of making crosshairs i would make his trenchcoat an accessory because i think that would make the robot mode and corvette better.
The car kibble on the back literally won't let the ball joint peg in on mine
Can't believe this video is what made me realise Crosshairs had a beard
I modded the collar so he has full neck rotation. It makes a WORLD of difference when posing. The only thing I still have issue with is the shoulders. They get in the way a lot. But overall I actually really like this figure.
I love crosshairs like frfr whats better than a robot with a trench coat this dude was my favorite in age of extinction and tlk
Both figures aren't bad in my opinion. Both have pros and cons. I think the SS is the best! The original isn't bad by any means but still, both are worth it
the fact we got Crosshair before Hound (who's WAY more involved in both 4 and 5) is baffling to me.
Just snagged on clearance and once again SS figures in hand are much better than pics. Super fun to transform for me and feels great in hand and love the weapon storage.
hey I would recommend ulanzi tube lights its cheap and can have colours. Will be very dope for your intro figure shots
I have the original, and I like it besides the whole vehicle being on the back. But it's really nice, new ones way better tho
My local Targets don't have Hot Rod in yet and it sucks :(
The transformation kinda felt like the oh lockdowns
As much as I don’t like the designs of the recent Bayformers, I do appreciate how much effort put into the toys
The original TLK deluxe is more fun to play with, but the studio series is better to have displayed, at least from the front or in vehicle mode
This video is made for adult collectors, cause a headmaster broke his finger
Mine was hell to get the backpack on
I hate the studio series one, my copy had the worst peg issues, the back wouldn't stay on and it wouldn't trasform like the instructions showed it, after a while I gave up, I took the guns and threw it into a box and forgot about it
Crosshairs was my favourite aoe character and I would love to see him again, (not the g1 version, he's kinda uninteresting to me)
the spoiler on my crosshairs comes off so easily, like the slightest breeze will knock it off
Hey Toy Guy I recommend you to buy the Transformers SS 38 Bumblebee Movie OptimusPrime, or Premium Finish Version of it, you'll regret playing with it..
I actually have a version of that. And I made a video on it, and I liked it
I saw that video, but that was the nemisis prime repaint
I actually really loved his sarcastic and asshole persona was he the best no but he looked pretty badass in aoe
Ive got the hotshot repaint of the aoe crosshairs
I'd say, while technically not accurate, certainly captures the spirit of the character a lot better than the old one.
Really like the comparison.
I like the new SS crosshairs
is that a KO Bumblebee i see in the car comparison?
Any updates on your Lead Paint test?
just got this guy yesterday and holy shit the vehicle mode rocks!!!
I don’t like pinned in. Wheels! Why? So that I could take them off when I’m painting it!
The smg reminds me of halos smg from halos 2 to three
Honestly for me i think the studio series is like even better than the last night. also my last night chrosshairs all four wheels kept falling of when it being spun so i was very disappointed
6:18 and then you shIft his WHAT💀
I love Crosshairs design and the figure isn't the best but still an awesome design. They did really well and I love how the flaps become the front of the car
The flaps that don't exist on the actual design and could literally be shaped however they wanted, yes
I never saw any of the movies past 3 was crosshairs like an actual main character?
I'm was so pissed and still am at hasbros distribution I could never find Hot Rod nor Crosshairs in my area but I found so many Fallens and now Hod Rod and Crosshairs are so expensive now on Amazon and The Fallen is still retail price on Amazon
9:44 song?
I have the studio series and the longer you use it the easier it is to move the head
I have the Hotshot *cough Tracks version of the Age of Exinction figure but it doesn’t have its head
Where him buy? Amazon? Or other site? Or go mart?
Unpopular opinion: i think if we ever get another crosshairs it should have a black and green painted SEPERATE trenchcoat piece(cloth or plastic)and they should make a base figure that can transform without all of these annoying and BIG kibble bits....
where do you get your stands?
I wonder if you can swap the heads on these guys!
The older one is better in the sense of transformation but worse in coloring but the newer one is better in looks but worse in hollowing
Crosshairs is one of the better Autobots created for Age of Extinction!
I actually prefer the new one. I think visually and proportionally he looks way better
The failure of this character's toy made me trade all my studio series transformers for GI Joe classified figures. I'm sticking with G1 looking Transformers

For being studio series I am disappointed because they actually had time and budget to make him unlike the original but he aint much better
When were we gonna have a studio series Optimus or Megatron from the last knight, like seriously there the only good designs in those 2 movies
It is better for sure
Crosshairs has a neat Corvette mode, but everyone knows Sideswipe did it better
The new one definitely had more budget going into the fine details
i have tlk one. not bad fig. seen worse. but green is sure better on SS one
you could use the spoiler as a weapon
Eh,Cade what’s with the c-3po ripoff
No discord channel?
The Age of Extinction version did it much better than this, while the updated design of the figure is nice, the Age of Extinction version nailed the trenchcoat.

I am actually not that familiar with the character, but I do find the design unappealing. I am going to pass on this one.

i don't care enough about this character to get either of these figures tbh
Most dark of the moon dezine um what
The spoiler falling off so easily annoys me.

…also the Tracks recolor that had Hot shots name on the box for some reason looks really cool.
lol u know there is a upgrade for the Spoilers
