[00:00:07]Hello. What's up? I'm Brian here doing another video for you guys and this time it seems like Takara just wants to do whatever they want, whenever they want, and everyone's on board with it because there it seems like there's something for everyone. Anyways, we're going to be taking a look at the rest of the figures that were recently announced, like very recently announced. I'm not going to talk about the Wild King stuff, mostly because A, I'm just not really feeling the Wild King stuff. It's not that it's bad, it's just not something that I've really thought, "Oh, I should definitely go for it." And also, the show is not really released internationally. Like I can't even watch it on YouTube. Not that there's no dub or translation, I just can't watch it for some reason. Uh but uh other than that and the Nemesis Star Convoy and the Missing Link Ironhide, which we talked about in the previous video, let's go ahead and start off with the Adamus Mish' na? I think that's the line. This is TO3 Star Saber. So this is going to be a teaser image of what's to come out and I think he does look pretty impressive, you know? They've already done the Predaking, they did I think it was I want to say a Lio Convoy, but I don't think that's what it was. Could be something else. Anyways, I do know that they made a Predaking at least and uh yeah, this one looks very cool. I like how savage the shoulders look and even the knees, you can see the blades there.

[00:01:26]That looks very nice. It's very stylized. Uh I especially love the wings. I kind of wish the wings were a little bit cleaner for, you know, Star Saber, but I mean, I don't mind how these look. It's very, I guess, retro anime style, almost like a Gundam this time. Uh I like the big chunky boots.

[00:01:43]There's no color for this image, but uh yeah, I'm curious to see exactly how it's going to look for the alt mode, the color scheme, and if it will be able to combine with anyone.

[00:01:53]Anyways, moving on, we've got the Overgear Optimus Prime. So this had the teaser image when they showed the full colors of the Ironhide and the Blackout.

[00:02:02]So, obviously this is going to be the third figure. And I love the truck mode.

[00:02:07]I like that it's got a whole bunch of wheels. And I like how they kind of reference the movie line because it's got the flame at the front. But they still tried to tone down the color scheme for this Overgear line. So, it does not have the massive amount of red and it's because it's trying to be a more down-to-earth military vehicle.

[00:02:26]However, they kind of get away with it because the back bed is kind of like a very dark faded shade of blue. And then you could see at the front, I guess this is kind of cheating, but you've got the red and white stripes around the wheels.

[00:02:41]So, I guess technically it does have red and blue like an Optimus Prime. I love the shaping. I love the design elements of the weaponry. You could see some attachments on the side of the cab there. Uh the front of the nose definitely reminds me of some of the movie Optimus Primes. I love the window.

[00:02:59]And that is a lot of weapons on the back. It looks like there's an axe, some sort of machine gun, and a missile rack, which is going to be more useful for the [music] robot mode. But I think that this truck mode definitely comes together pretty well. And then take a look at the robot mode. So, with the tan over top of the body, it kind of reminds me of that lunar Optimus Prime and how it looked like it it was just kind of an Optimus Prime and then he wore parts of a lunar thing. Uh that's what I'm getting here. And I kind of like that because it looks like body armor for Optimus Prime. But you could see underneath there is a red Optimus Prime inside there. The legs look very chunky and it almost looks like it's a third-party figure. I like how the wheel wells kind of fit inside the legs. I think that's a nice touch. And all the weapons are really cool. They're versatile as well. You saw that with the Ironhide and the Blackout figure. So, you can attach obviously, the rifle piece and then the missile launcher goes onto the shoulder or at least above the shoulder.

[00:03:59]So, uh yeah, I'm definitely on board with looking more into the Overlord lineup. I'm not sure if I'm ever going to get any of the Overlord figures, but it is a very interesting line.

[00:04:11]Anyways, moving on, we've got the Missing Link Ratchet. So, obviously, we've got the Missing Link Ironhide, we're going to get the Missing Link Ratchet. And it seems like it's going to retain most of what the Ironhide had.

[00:04:22]So, it's probably going to have a driver figure, it's going to have that face inside the chest, but he does have his proper head sculpt, and it does have the Unibrow crown. So, that's really cool to see. I like the colors here especially.

[00:04:35]Uh I'm not sure how I feel about the yellow in the legs, but if they're referencing the original tampos and stickers, then yeah, it makes sense. And uh yeah, so similar stuff to Ironhide, you know, you could transform it into that toy accurate design. Uh it doesn't seem like you're supposed to detach the backpack, and even right now you can see the pin shelf right through it. But uh yeah, I I do like the Missing Link stuff, and I like Ratchet. If they really want to go full-on Missing Link, they should have made Ratchet uh a female bot. But uh that's a that's a deep cut reference, but uh here's another deep cut reference for Beast Wars fans. We've got Rhinox. So, this is the Masterpiece figure, and you're probably thinking, "Uh don't we already have the Masterpiece Rhinox?" Yes, we do. This is the Dark Design Rhinox. And what that means is that there was an episode of the original Beast Wars series where Rhinox was reprogrammed into a Predacon.

[00:05:31]And he made a lot of chaos for the Predacons to the point where they were like, "No, we need to turn Rhinox back or destroy him or something." Uh so, yeah, I I think that's really cool that we're finally getting it. Uh obviously, we haven't gotten that for the Kingdom figure, but I don't really like the Kingdom toy, so not really missing much out of that. He does come with an additional weapon, and it seems like he's got the shell parts that would wrap around to form that battle mask that the original Beast Wars toys had. This light's probably flickering right now.

[00:06:02]Um but yeah, I like the dark elements. You can see that kind of faded gold in the teeth or or white and then the pelt, the skin, and the green seem to be a much duller, darker fade. So yeah, I like that they decide to finally do it in in some sort of capacity.

[00:06:21]Uh anyways, moving on, we've got this image of the Nemesis Dark Convoy. You can see Rhinox on the back. That is not what I'm trying to focus on here. I'm trying to focus on the two figures behind it because the one above it I will take a look at in another image.

[00:06:36]It's the one beside it. Now, when I saw that I was like, "Oh, they're re-releasing Trypticon, or maybe that is the selects Trypticon." Until I realized, "Oh, wait, the horn is big and it's got alternate paint applications."

[00:06:50]You know what that is? That is when they took the Trypticon and brought that into the Beast Wars, I think it was Neo line, and they turned it into Gigastorm.

[00:07:01]So this is a different character altogether, and I'm happy that they're doing it finally.

[00:07:07]Obviously, they had to remodel the horn, and I felt like that was an easy thing to do. I feel like a third-party company should try and do that to where if you've got the selects Trypticon or the original Trypticon, you could just swap out that horn piece or or pop something onto it. Uh but that's really cool that he actually includes that. And then you can see he's got more gold elements. You can see that in the arms and then the teal seems to be a little different. You got that wrapped around the legs. You got that wrapped around the insides of the body.

[00:07:36]So this thing is looking awesome to me.

[00:07:40]And he does have the figure that would plug into the chest. However, the head sculpt has changed to where I I think the bot's head, cuz it's the the headmaster target master or not target master, the Titan Master gimmick. Uh that folds up and would transform into something that's very similar to the Megastorm and then he's also got a tiny Megastorm head. Now, what I think that they're going to do, whether they're going to do it in the official line with the international release or their only going to stick to Takara with the new Legends lineup, are they going to do a Megastorm? Because we have a new version of the G2 Megatron coming out next year for the Age of Evolution line. So, it would stand to reason that, well, since we've got Gigastorm, we got to get Megastorm. So, yeah, I'm I'm pretty glad to see this. I'm curious to see what the price tag is going to be. But, yeah, I'm thrilled that at the very least we're getting it. And then another figure that I really wish we'd actually get for the mainline release, uh I understand it with the alternate drill mode that it looks a little weird, but I still wish that they would do it so that everyone can get one. This is the Beast Wars II.

[00:08:53]Okay, so it's Beast Wars II. [music] Uh Galvatron.

[00:08:57]And I'm thrilled about this. I I think yeah, Gigastorm was Beast Wars II. Sorry about that. I I get mixed up with that.

[00:09:06]Uh but anyways, Beast Wars II Megatron or Galvatron, that's awesome. That is really cool that they decided to do that because, you know, we've got the loud convoy, we've got the big convoy, we've got the Magmatron, we might as well get Beast Wars II Galvatron. He's got the blasters in the knees, he's got the sharp-looking toes, he's got the very almost flamboyant shoulder pads, and I'm sure it's going to have that beautiful pink and purple and teal color scheme.

[00:09:37]The shaping is so well done.

[00:09:40]It's really hard to pinpoint anything cuz it is a prototype, but I love the head sculpt. I love the torso. And you can see on the back it does have those clamp-like weapons.

[00:09:51]And uh you can't really see it here, but you can kind of see it between the legs, but he does have that drill. Which is badly placed, but he does have that drill, so at the very least.

[00:10:01]And uh yeah, I'm just I'm so excited.

[00:10:04]Again, I'm hoping for an international release, not just a new Legends toy, because this is something I really want to get.

[00:10:10]And since Hasbro has already released the Lio Prime or Leo Prime, whatever you want to call it, Big Convoy, and the Magmatron, come on, you got to complete the set.

[00:10:20]So, with that out of the way, I think this is the most exciting thing. Even if they don't release it internationally, this is probably something I'll have to get in some way.

[00:10:29]Um what is your favorite thing? Mine's definitely this. And uh yeah, like, comment, share, subscribe, and all that sort of doohickey, and I'll see you guys next time.
