Vangelus Review 114-R - Causality CA-02 Flameblast

[RayTehSun]

Man, I really wish I could pick this guy up.

[Strangeperson97]

You gonna review CA-03,04,05?

[TheXXIV]

so that opening was freakin creepy i like it XD

[Transformerworld]

if you look in my flameblast vid it shows how to put the knife in storge

[jakstrieder]

what is that white and blue trimmed star thing in the background at 0.33 ?

[Pikachubby]

If you got the "unreleased" Target Exclusive Scout Series Transformers Decepticons Gunbarrel & Reverb then u bought these FPJ Causality CA-01 Warcry & CA-02 Flameblast and you also got Appendage Add-on kit set from Crossfire 02 XF-02A Explorer & 02B Munitioner + Transformers Energon Barricade (as the main body part) then you can form the mighty Battle Gaia (another version of Bruticus).

[UnholyJesus181]

You can fix the paint scratching on the chin with a Gundam marker by giving Flameblast an evil mastermind goatee.

[UnholyJesus181]

My friend let me mess around with his Flameblast, and his testicles pretty much asploded when I showed him that the handguns can still be held by the fists in shuttle mode, thus affording the figure armament in vehicle mode. My member stood firm and erect with pride at this accomplishment.

[StInG268]

You are really good at hiding your hands during the transformation sequences

[UnholyJesus181]

Can the boosters be clipped to the shuttle cone in robot mode?

[trence5]

Hey Van, these narratives that you've done for the Causality characters..... are the storylines you original ideas OR are they actual stories that are included with the figures? If so, what or WHO was this being that both these guys remember being? Oh, and your narratives are kick-ass!

[nitrodudezoom]

@trence5 bruticus maximus (fansproject collosus)

[MagnusLabel]

Does Explorer sleep in lust in this video? Because he looks like that. :D

[UnholyJesus181]

I also just noticed how much emphasis you put on the first syllable of the word "cockpit".

[UnholyJesus181]

In terms of color scheme, I think that Explorer's subdued hues embody the characters rage, while the white accented with strips of black and red, as well as the violet chestpiece, create a sort of an insanely malevolent effect.

[gravehart2002]

Owning Fireshot, I can see the resemblance in the face- however Fireshot is a micromaster combiner, specificity the front half of a SR71 Blackbird. However I think we are literally looking at half the picture. I am reminded of another micromaster combiner called Blastmaster which forms the rear end of a shuttle. Something to think on : )

[ShiyojinRommyu]

Battle Gaia, here I come!

[hobbitninja]

Ha, I can tell that you edit in the research on the name after the fact

[MegaTfman]

5:15 the best

[99krenger99]

Your reviews are, by far, the most entertaining. Sweet, all the way around. Thanks!

[TransformingToybox]

I actually might get this guy. I really hate spending on a repaint but the guns may sway me. Damn, my wallet and I are going to need to go to therapy.

[CobraCommanderTFW]

seriosuly the bio for this guy is an updated blast-off? thats very kool you can tell FP are having fun making up this fiction. I have a bad feelin your gonna try and make me buy these at botcon, my wallet crys at night knowing doom is coming to it!

[T2rx6]

With only cash for one... This is the Causality I want to buy.. Hopefully next month I can buy the other, but I love the explorer mold more than I like the munitioner mold.

[kylash327]

Im sure youve been asked a billion times, but what camera do you use? It's amazingly good in low light.

[Vange1us]

@kylash327 Sony SR-10. I just manually set the exposure down and use 3 lights. :)

[fyiiamthetf2fan]

WILL YOU STOP MAKING ME WANT TO SPEND MONEY ALREADY?

[ThePeblo]

who voiced this video?

[jolteonstorm1]

@ThePeblo vangelus you idiot

[ThePeblo]

@jolteonstorm1 notahh, this sounds nowhere near vangelus and I wanted to know from vange1us himself so good day

[edoggz20111]

Flameblast is the figure too get right now. All you need 3 of the energon main peices and you set. The big thing to wait on is the Insecticons.

[Tylerwelds]

totall awsomeness man love your reviews

[Jakehatred666]

Ok i get that hes Explorer in a new body but y the name change?...couldnt he just still be Explorer?

[gnoLeDwerdnA]

Youtube Partner but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and annotates his 15 minutes upon the tube

And then is heard no more: it is a review

Told by an idiot, full of slow pans and jump cuts,

Signifying nothing.

[WeeboShepard]

Is the intro music from the mass effect soundtrack you talked about in an episode of WTF@TFW

[Levitz9]

Man, that was a sweet transformation sequence. Seeing Flameblast flying around half-transformed was sweet.

Those details really draw me in.

[Dre2Dee2]

Damn dude, your intros are mega anime.

Write a Transformers anime plz, tia :D

[fujisakimari]

i love your small skits

[fealmor]

btw what are the "colossus and berserker projects" u are referring to?

[emoboy163]

@fealmor the other fansproject works. Go look up bruticus by fansproject. :]

[fealmor]

dude i love ur presentations man, i like the part where he was like "deemed irrelevant" that was really cool repeating it! already bought it too!

[EsenxGundam]

Ninja's? Someone care to explain?

[Slayershoop]

@EsenxGundam The not-insecticons that Fansproject is doing

[RiderManX0]

Vangelus would you recommend this to someone who has neither Crossfire sets yet?

[Slayershoop]

@RiderManX0 They're not meant to go with the Crossfire sets, they are stand-alones. They are meant to just be figures, so take that into consideration. I would get them especially if I don't have the crossfire sets, I do, and I'm still getting them.

[TheNotru]

I can't tell if the end is a teaser, or if it's Vangelus being Vangelus...

[Mecha82]

Thats very nice retooling of the Explorer.

[jonomathiq]

for how much could i pick this guy up

[Slayershoop]

@jonomathiq About $45 USD

[jonomathiq]

@Slayershoop ok thx man

[Slayershoop]

@jonomathiq np

[raikutsu918]

ninjas???

[Slayershoop]

@raikutsu918 Fansproject's not-insecticons

[pieisgood13]

the headfin looks cool IMO, like Lazengann, but to a far lesser degree

[krfanatix0312]

COOL HEAD SCULPT!!! I like it! :)



[megamanpwn3dmario]

wait... ninjas? you mean that one 3rd party arcee/ chromia/ whatever the third one was called that i think you are referencing?

[VonCreakyskin]

@megamanpwn3dmario I'm assuming the ninjas are the FP insecticons trio from the causality line. Damned excited for them, myself.

[Lycanthrope008]

so how many are left to be realeased

[DMSL2007]

@Lycanthrope008 There's 3 Insecticons and 1 Warbot repaint coming from Fansproject.

[Slayershoop]

@DMSL2007 also two more causality figures after the insecticons, a heartmaster, Crossfire 03, audacity, and more

[TheVagabond7]

If we're waiting for ninjas, how will we know when they get he...

*sssschlikt!*

...oh. Right. *dies*

[theprimo100]

Insecticons? I heard ninja and thought Nighbird.

[allycliftonsucks]

can he ride the shoe as a skateboard too ?

[Pimptimus]

I'm pretty sure if you used the new Causality guys with the Energon/Superlink guys you would achieve G2 Bruticus Glory.

[neoshade123]

all four of them combined is what i can do bc i only have onslaught which its great to know that now

[guncannon109]

INSECTICONS!!!

[boogerman908]

i need money!!!! :'(

[cortes2k]

I love the whay you transform them with these fantastic movie scenes ;)

[DragonFangX]

Ninjas? NINJAS!? WHERE!?! WHEN!?? *ducks and hides*

[gravehart2002]

This guy looks pretty awesome even as a stand alone fig- kick ass:D

But ...why ninjas?

[OggSquirrelHunter]

@gravehart2002 i think its because the next ones made by fansproject are the insecticons

[allycliftonsucks]

@OggSquirrelHunter SPOILER ALERT !!!!!!!!!!! lol

[ProfessM]

Drone for the win!

[killercrx91]

8:00 that's a REALLY good idea what you did for the legs... I'm goin to do that =D

[fanguy99]

this guy looks as intimidating as kiruru from the sgt frog movies.

[ShiyojinRommyu]

I'm very much digging the new head and the sexy, stark white on this guy. The new booster packs are cool in both modes and the new weapons are very snazzy, too. I kinda feel like it should come with more, but that's probably just because Explorer already came with a bunch of other stuff. Definite want.

[felks22us]

awesome opening dude wow great job. i so cant wait to add him to my collection .

[henshinjedi1985]

I love that head sculpt! I might have to get this guy!

[Deceptiwolf]

Ninjas. Insect robot Ninjas.

[221b]

Do, does this guy come with the hand, etc for the combined mode? If I don't have any of the other FP combiner items, will it be possible to attach this guy to a stock Energon gestalt?

[Vange1us]

@221b Flameblast does NOT come with the shoulder connector or the hand. You need Crossfire-02 to do any combining.

[hamzaawesome7]

@Vange1us Have you ever thought of showing the Causality Figure with the superlink colossus?

[emoboy163]

@Vange1us assuming you have such pieces, can you combine them with bruticus?

[MegaTfman]

Are the ninjas suposed to be the fansproject insecticons?

[Slayershoop]

@MegaTfman Yes

[Arro3]

Gah I wish I was half that good at doing epic voices. ><

[ConvoyGTR]

kinda tempted.........

[TheTFReview]

Amazing review Vangelus!

[RodimusMinor1987]

I have both these on pre-order

[KRiderMan1248]

ah so CA 01-02 are just stand alone figures with no combining parts for the Colosses

[wesleyv1]

@KRiderMan1248 werent you listening he said that they did come with combining pieces hell he even showed them off

seriously dude pay attention

[KRiderMan1248]

@wesleyv1 chill man i suppose i missed it, i just assumed that he was using the extra connection stuff that the originals came with. Because it sounded to me like he said that you didnt need to buy extras of the explorer and the other guy to get the combiner parts.

[Vange1us]

@KRiderMan1248 You're correct. I used stuff from my existing Crossfire-02, and Flameblast does not come with the shoulder plug or fist.

[IdiocyOverdose]

@wesleyv1 You're an awful big asshole for someone who's wrong.

[KRiderMan1248]

@wesleyv1 ah well it seems like you sir owe me an apology.

[wesleyv1]

@KRiderMan1248 how do ya figure

[KRiderMan1248]

@KRiderMan1248 Thank you for clearing that up. And by the way how do you come up with the diolog in the intro? Is that part of the bio for the figure or is it something you came up with. And who is the person doing the voice?

[Vange1us]

@KRiderMan1248 I based it on the Explorer bid and the included bio card. The voicing is just me.

[KRiderMan1248]

@Vange1us wow thats some good dialog and the voicing is rather enjoyable.

[hamyman]

Want... so... much

[wakeangel2001]

now THIS is a re-deco I can get behind! I absolutely LOVE the way this guy looks, and I love Space Shuttles almost as much as I love biplanes.

[JazonMaxuz]

heh, sadly the toys you review are not at all available here, otherwise i'd be getting a lot of them myself :D i love your reviews, keep up the good work.... and i will be watching...

[Slayershoop]

@JazonMaxuz Internet is about the only way to get these guys, BBTS, TFSource, and Robot Kingdom are the main sites to get these guys.

[daveh013]

curse you Internet Personality Vangelus, I'm trying to save some money here!!!

[silvercyberwolf]

thanks to you vangelus flameblast and warcry are going to be the ones who start my collection

[espnonsportscenter]

are you ever going to review the Antidious Assemblage?

[DOWSOE]

Hey Vangelus, do you know if the flameblast and warcry can combine with the "ninja trio" ? Or is FansProject releasing them as stand alones?

[Slayershoop]

@DOWSOE No combination, Causality is meant to be a standalone figure line much like Warbot, but Warbot, as far as I can tell, is for the Wreckers.

[loupetron]

Enjoying the reviews. Thanks for the hard work!

[TFfan7]

i like his face :D

[CODE84265]

NINJAS!!!

[Flamingpond]

Was that opening supposed to rhyme?

[jeremythedestroyer]

Vangelus, your reviews keep getting more and more entertaining. Thank you.

[Prime92]

Why didn`t I realize that these two toys are coloured in the G2 colours? I guess I`m slow today.

[mattfanify]

amazing
