I do NOT like that style of "review".

It. Is. NOT. A. Review.

It's an overview, with music choice I don't particularly care for. I learn very little from it except the rough transform scheme and the look of some of the details, and I could get that from a gallery.

If you're going to make a VIDEO review, tell us:

1 ) What you liked about the figure.

2 ) What you did not.

3 ) Any problems the figure might have.

This pretty much tells us almost nothing.

sorry,our native language is Chinese,we can do a full review like you want,but with Chinese.

I like skids but it kinda looks like what a Yoda transformer might look like, maybe give skids a white robe and a wooden cane and a light saber and there you go

Blimey! Chill out. What a really unpleasent thing to post so soon in the thread.

Perhaps they should have not bothered at all and you wouldn't have even got a look at them.

Perhaps you could have said thank you but what are your thoughts on...... Instead of jumping down the poor guys throat.

DO it! That would be awesome, and a least then you can laugh at these pathetic selfish peeps. And I would laugh with you.

Thanks for the interesting looks at these toys. I actually enjoyed the music.

I'm just an everyday reader, and I never felt the use to write myself, but this pissed me off so much... but anyway by the time I register everybody jumped the poor guy's throat. So I cooled down.

Nice videos guy, I really prefers without the usual crappy comment that is used in videos reviews. By the way tranformation of skids is very complex for a deluxe. I like it.

by **MisterNewUzer** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 7:19 am

See I was just waiting for someone to post a more or less accurate transformation of Rampage, so I'm pleasantly surprised by this.

That being said: HOLY CRAP, a centaur transformer?!?!?! why is this concept only NOW being explored?! thats so awesome!

by **robotrik** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 8:17 am

Wow... nice ones, i can honestly say i like Skids, i don't know why most ppl here don't like this figure and it's cool how everything tabs into something.

now as for Rampage.. at first i thought he wasn't transformered properly, but now i'm starting to warm up to his centaur look.
he looks pretty complex for a deluxe figure which i really like.

i think i'll pass on the rest since i already have the first BB and the new one is... meh, and i'm not a fan of FAB so i'll have to wait for the deluxe Longhaul.

Then get the figure yourself and do one you think is proper...In the meantime, show some damn gratitude...These people don't OWE you anything... :-x

Anyway, I'm all over that Skids...He has the face of a melted, bucktoothed Gremlin and an autobot symbol on his crotch...Funniest transformer in ages! :grin:

And now I REALLY don't know what everyone is complaining about Devestator not turning into individual robots...The constructicons that DO transform into individual robots all look completely aweful...I won't be missing them at all...

i couldnt take no more of the fab its the deluxes, leader, voyagers, i look forweard to its intersting to see the 2 bumblebees of this series they both look & transform into bot differntly.

maybe he doesntlike how his voice sounds on camera could be the reason with the music same way i would have done it if it gave all the positve, negative and stuff didint like about the figure would it have felt more ilke review then.?

great review

I actually agree with Valandar. This was more of a video gallery or preview. I only watched one and it didn't really tell me anything.

I do think it was creative using the music instead of doing a review in Chinese, but I think it would be cool to hear a review in Chinese.

As for the Bumblebee video I saw, I think I'll pass. I like the head but I don't think I'll buy another one.

Skids = Gremlinformer

Nothing more to say about that.

by **ACIDSTORM** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 1:10 pm

theres an FAB jetfire video up now

i like the look of long haul , always have done since we saw that 3d grey pic of him by josh nizzi

by **Valandar** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 1:36 pm

Okay, okay, I would like to apologize. I was very much out of line with how I said what I said. I could blame it on the bad mood I was in yesterday, or my headache (3 days straight and running), but that would be just an excuse.

However, that doesn't change the fact that it's not a review, it's an overview, like the title now says.

It does not tell us about any potential problems (parts that may pop off, parts that limit articulation, parts that don't line up well in alt mode, what have you), or give an opinion on the overall figure.

As an overview, it's very good. It shows us the figure from several angles, closes up on the details, and so on.

As a final note, I would like to say that I made no personal attacks on the person that made these overviews, yet found MYSELF subject to personal attacks from multiple sources. Gee, how fun.

+++would be nice if the person doing the review would familiarize him/herself with the transformation process so they dont look like an idiot trying to transforn the toy for the first time in front of the world

Skidz is awesome, I just wish he had a better head. So Skidz is an ugly pile of awesome.

Rampage is pretty nice, I like him

I like Bumblebee but as I have the first one I have no interest in this one.

I'll wait for the Deluxe or Voyager Longhaul, I don't like FAB's much.

News Credits: 1 · by **Agent 007** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 5:36 pm

damnit bumbles is missing paint apps again! Looks like I'll havta whip out the ol' silver sharpi LongHaul looks ok but i want a voyager version skidz is a maybe right now, I'm not diggin the backpack.

News Credits: 8 · by **Megatron Wolf** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 9:16 pm

Long Haul is awesome, Bumblebee is a repaint so no, Skids would be good but that head is horrible. Think ill have to go old school Ironhide with that one (or attempt to find a spare head from another figure some where), Rampage would be ok but he has no torso. Maybe instead of putting all the parts into a backpack they should've put them in the center. I just hope its transformed wrong.
