I couldn't help but laugh at this review. The figure looks pretty cool though.

That fake Leg Mode will surely fool a lot of people into thinking he'll form part of Devestator. That is, if they don't wtch this review, or watch it with the sound off.

So cool...I love that extra ankle articulation. Can't wait to get my hands on one!

Thanks for the review!

I hate it when reviewers go off and start talking gibberish before talking about the figure. Really no one cares, just size compare, show articulation, transform it, show comparisons and your DONE!

Cool looking toy, annoying review.

News Credits: 1 · Tue Dec 23, 2008 2:55 pm

I find it ironic that he wants to complain about early reviewers and he chooses to do so in his early review...

Still, nice looking figure, and acceptable review.

At first, I thought this was some kind of satire video because of that. But, not...sadly.....it seems genuine.

good somewhat review didnt understadn what he was talking about in the beginging about opibotmus, others

Figure good, review BAD. I haven't seen many reviews on YouTube but they are all rubbish. No-one seems to have planned what to say. And this guy is just annoying. He says "yeh!" way too often.

Nice for a Basic (which I didn't expect to make a comeback), but with feet that tiny AND double-hinged, I foresee issues with him standing up straight.

gigasteam is the best! (and a seibertron.com member as well)

Tue Dec 23, 2008 4:00 pm

Sounds like the guy shares a brain with George W. Bush.

The figure is great, though!

I can't wait for this line. These figs are seriously cool...

News Credits: 3 · Tue Dec 23, 2008 7:27 pm

This guy looks pretty cool. B-)

Great looking fig.
Crappy review.

Brutal review of a 1/4 decent figure. I'm a big fan of thinking about what you say before you say it and that didn't have even the slightest sense of that. Mind you, that's not to say it didn't add to the overall charm of the review. I'd say a 4/10 for the review but it seems to be his first.

If you are reading this, I recommend perhaps writing a script of what you want to discuss and go into some clearer details. I couldn't really understand what you were saying at the beginning ( too many "so yeah"s ) and the part about the gold bits didn't make much sense. Please only that that as a friendly critique, I have confidence that the next one will be better

I might wait for a repaint as I'm not 100% sold on the head or paint job.

How many people see this figure saying "As Seen In The Transformers Movie Video Game!" like the others?

I agree. "But... yeah," is said waaaay too much. And dbanks may be an idiot but this guy is too. All these reviews seem more about stroking one's own ego and trying to play Paris Hilton (i.e. "look ma! I'm on youtube!") than giving a good review. I'll be patient and wait to buy retail and skip being an internet diva after paying 300% or more markup a mere 2 or 3 months early just to say I got something first. I've never understood that mentality.

First of all, DBanks might be an asshole to some of you BUT i personally like his reviews and he is my FRIEND cause hes helped me out with somethin i dont want to talk about XD but really, i dont think hes an asshole.Hell, i didnt even expect him to reply to my message(s).

Did anyone call him an asshole? Does anyone know him enough to lay claim to that name? My guess is no.

Now Counterpunch... that guy is an asshole! (I'm just kidding, he's a good dude and a demi-god at Street Fighter. Merry Christmas friend)
