Vlog 4: Botcon, Questions, ROTF and Rant!

[Decepticon666]

word, i completely feel you on the lack of quality hasbro has been force feeding us lately. complete BS. I do enjoy fixes but like you said I SHOULDNT FUCKING HAVE TO LMAO

[unicronthechaos11]

and the botcon loose stuff is like dirt cheap i got a armada optimus prime jetfire and overload without there missiles for $45

[unicronthechaos11]

some of the reasons on the repaints is because of mold digration it just gets so much ware on it and stuff gets loose. and i can agree to some astent that some of the transformtions are hard and stuff pops off thats just how it is hasbro and takara is just trying to make a quick buck i better stop before you get me ranting. also the scouts look awsome i want ejector the toster.

[Aerros1]

lol Im wanting Ejector too!

[JadeTTakaraReviews]

We had g1 toys that had many removable parts, and I never lost anything because I was a huge fan, so Knock out is ok to me but I agree with you on the shoddy quality Hasbro has put out lately, its kind of like gambling you never know if you're going to win and get a good one. I bought animated shockwave and one!! yaAAAAA! If I had a dime for every time my kids have come up to me and said daddy can you put this back together for me I would be wealthier than Vangelus lol

[JadeTTakaraReviews]

Is that a huge blurry spider on the celling up in the right corner lol!!

[Aerros1]

Yup his name is Bitey! JK its a Coax jack for cable TV. Guy who lived in the house before me have a little wall mounted tv in there. I might need it in the future so i left it.

[lyleomega]

my friend g1 rachet has a anamated swoop with fimsy leg

[minfinite]

I have to admit the Fallen Figure is intense and definitely my favorite of the movie line....

[Aerros1]

All the pics I saw of him left me unimpressed. But i'll check him out.

[minfinite]

Yeah check him out.. In person it really is a cool figure especially that its his first real mold unless if you count that horrible Tank Mold that was out....

[minfinite]

You are so right about the quality of the new hasbro toys..... It is for s&*@.. this is the way the keep people buying over and over the same toy. Box one ,,,play one.... BS

[Daiatlus]

I wonder if Tomy had anything to do with quality.We didint have as much of a problem?

[Ojunix]

This is why I'm not bothering with the Movie Line cause alot of the Toys just don't look Well Made & half of them look like their made of Cheap Plastic.

Sure Animated had a few figures at the Start had a couple of issues but later they became some of the most Soild Figures around since Cybertron.

& it's nice to have a Video Rant now & then it shows a persons different opinion on certain things that should be exploited since their on things that other people enjoy.

[dragonlord2200]

dennis u rock bro!

[Aerros1]

I do my best. You equally rock yourself! hehe

[anderson1939]

Congrats man on over 100 subs , good points , and awesome vlog .

[metroplex97]

the pieces do fall off alot but not all of them do that but with hasbro more and more figures will be crappy plastic and loose arms

[chief888888]

Oh and I keep forgetting too! Congrats on the subs dude, each and everyone well deserved.

[Aerros1]

Thanks man. I really appreciate it!

[chief888888]

I agree with the figures how they are falling apart or breaking very easily. Thats why I like the g1 figures, you could put them in a cement mixer and they would be fine. It's going back to the days of beast wars how the figures just fell apart

[Aerros1]

yes. some were concept drawings others unpainted figures. some fully painted. Black out i believe was a concept drawing if I remember corectly...If they caught anyone taking pics they were gonna boot em so my camera got put away

[MacGyver904]

i agree, the designs on ROTF look better, but a bunch of shit just fall off from my personal experience and u have every right to be upset at hasbro

[zizzlerizzle8707]

QC issues are why i almost never order direct from hasbro. I dont wanna give them my money directly for a flawed figure

[zizzlerizzle8707]

i agree the QC has been really bad recently. i have to say though your ransack's gimp arm is a first. the ball joints on mine are perfect. I t does kinda annoy me that a mediocre figure like universe/ classics 2.0 can have no QC issue, but a really cool one like ROTF Ransack or knock out can have at least 1.

Hasbro has been sucking recently with some toys from animated and a few figures from the other lines recently. but at least they consistently suck.

[Eucep]

Yah, some of the QC is a bit bad, but some is more on purpose then you think. As TJomega found out for example with Knock Out, those legplates in fact do come off to form wings on his back with the footrests fitting perfectly in holes on his back, giving him a 'Waspinator' look.

[zizzlerizzle8707]

thanks for that tip Eucep. i comepltely forgot about that

[Aerros1]

I just looked it up and checked it out. It does seem to be made to do that BUT another place Hasbro dropped the ball is NO WHERE on the box or in the instuctions does it advertise this flight mode. :(

[Eucep]

It doesn't show a lot of things in instructions, for example the legend Prime/Jetfire combo. I don't know how it is for the leader versions. Also I am worried on the bike-sister combiner for the same reason.

[Aerros1]

I think this is the first line I've ever seen them leave things like this off of instructions. to not advertise it is not showing consumers about added playability which could lead to more sales.

[Eucep]

Quality Control does not just involve the figures, but such things as well. BUT, I do actually suspect that this will end up being something you find on the hasbro site or on a rotf specific site.

[connerman003]

the crappiest figure i have had to endure was samuri prowl and swindel

[Rage723]

Great Video/rant.......I agree you shouldn't have to fix a band new toy.

Congrats on your 100 sub

[TheBlackShinigami]

GRETA VLOG man and congrats on 100 subs you got me on about 40 lol

and i agree Hasbros QC on these toys are ridiulous :(

[agent923]

Great Vlog man.

[arlocon]

I feel bad for kids too. The Animated line , in my opinion, was not as bad as the new movie line. They had great figures, and for the most part, they were solid as can be. Congrats and looking forward.

[Aerros1]

Animated was ok but Lockdown's ball jointed hips come to mind along with alot of simple fixes ppl has to do to make the toys perform like they should. prowls legs and Grimlocks shoulders

Universe 2.0 really took the cake. I feel like hasbro was testing the market to see how much crap QC we would put up with and being the plastic crack whores we are we took it all and asked for more....

The ROTF is just them taking it a step further IMO.

[wesneedshelp]

comgrats on 100 + subs you will go far past that!

[Rimfyre]

I agree with you man 100%!!! Great video/rant :-) Quality has been going down!!! grrr Hasbro! Congrats on 100+ subs! You are doing great,keep up the good work!

[Aerros1]

lol thanks. funny you say "grrr Hasbro" I was going to title this vlog Grrr last night but thought better of it. :)

[mindzombie]

"You shouldn't have to fucking fix them!" AMEN!

[Gothganon]

they need to make cybertron, energon or even (yes even) ARMADA toys again instead of Movie toys, starwars TF's, titaniums, robot heroes, power bots marvel and bumper battles

I do like ROTF Optimus, but TOO MANY REPAINTS. If the first one is a selfwarmer, why wouldn't the repaint?(unless it's super sweet.)

just stick with the the legends, scout, deluxe voyager leader supreme class kind Hasbro. Activators are good too.

[Gothganon]

do you mean ROTF?

[DoctorPrime]

I feel your frustration. Definitely will be very selective of the ROTF line. Congrats on 144! You wipped passed me :)

[Aerros1]

Thanks man. you'll catch up and blow passed me in no time.

[sh0ckwave06]

congrats on the 100+ subs.

[fujisakimari]

i agree i find toys all the time like at good will
