Sean Long has provided an in depth video review of Universe/ Classics 2.0 Tankor. Triple Changer Tankor (ahem...Octane) is a Deluxe figure and features two alternate modes - a military plane and refueling truck. He will be issued in colors that are similar to his G1 figure.



You can also check out a video review of Animated Activators Starscream. The Animated Activators are poseable figures with relatively easy transformations and feature a spring loaded action.

holy crap, awesome!

my complaint is, in truck mode, the back weels look like crap, it doesnt hide the plane parts well

i love octanes feet, they got the triple changing from feet, plane tail, to truck cab thing perfect.

and his plane mode is beautiful

sold

Doesn't look very appealing, but I thought the same thing about Astrotrain until I had him in my hands. Will have to wait and see.

Basically Octane has been renamed as Tankor because basically Hasbro couldn't secure the rights to the name. So basically fans were up in arms and basically some are still calling him Octane. Basically me. Basically it was a good look at the the transformation, but it was basically a weak review when he basically has such a narrow vocabulary. Basically he should get some local feedback before he basically records his review. Basically that should help him improve. Basically.

^ Let's see you review new transformers then. In video format.
Not everyone holds well in front of a camera. You kinda forget what you should say, and get embarrased.


Less douche please.






Great review man. You gave us a good look Octane, and he looks awesome.

Meh, I'll pass on this, just doesn't appeal to me. whats up with the shoulder pad things and tiny wings? to me, it could have been done better. I'd rather save up for that custom Octane that i saw a while back (jizatoys? can't remember) if i ever get a chance to buy it. thats my new grail now, a perfect modern representation of one of my fav characters.

As for the review, it was ok, he did say basically a lot, lol and his hands got in the way but dude, I'd sit though all that to watch a review of a toy not out yet so well done and I'm sure a little constructive criticism won't hurt :)

As with Astrotrain he's got a good 1st alt mode but crappy 2nd and the robot mode has alittle too much kibble. I want to see more reviews of this guy first.

Nothing would please me more, but I'm afraid I don't have a video camera. I'm not exactly rolling in cash right now.
