On your second aside, Unicron IS the chaos bringer if he never accomplishes his final goal. Existence flails in Unicron's hand, in order to survive. That is CHAOS. If Unicron ever obliterated the universe, there would be nothing left to call it "order". Unless.... YOU ARE UNICRON!!!!
i actually had his original paintjob i think his name was either lockjaw or jaw breaker, he was a beauty of a figure until while moving a box of figures to my attic he kind of fell out and i stepped on him . _ .
Very nice review George. Thing is with the BW line and subsequent off shoots is they are very much a mixed bag in terms of what you can expect. I am quite fortunate that the very few pieces that I have in my collection, I absolutely adore. Speaking of which, I must try and track down that lovely Depthcharge figure you have...
Depth Charge, Depth Charge...the more I play with him, the more I love him. he's an utter beauty of a bot, kibble and all. That manta ray mode is faultless, utterly, supremely faultless. I can't get over how good it actually is.

So he's Jackel and Hyde mixed with Victor Freeze? I'm just imagining him saying all of those Arnie cheesey one liners from Batman And Robin. "He Primal. I'm going to give you the cold shoulder!"
I hate that feeling where not only is long hair a bit greasy but your scalp feels like it's really tight and well it's just awful! Although the reward of a shower and cleanliness is just amazing.
I did a quick google image check of this guy before watching this review. My first thought "damn you George, I MUST have this guy!". I love these kind of beast formers, sort of like junk beasts.
His bot mode is sadly a bit ropey and it seems they missed a chance for an excellent toy in both modes.
Ich, yes, I was just on the verge of that in this video. Not nice. But the unadulterated joy after using the new shower...good god. XD I do try to evangelize for the beasty formers. Bot mode...isn't the best. They could've done alot more with it, but the beast mode is plastic sex on four legs; sinuous and stunning.
I was planning to use Cyberton Snarl for the part of Scowl, but this mould is so much more attractive and appropriate to his character, just hope it makes as serviceable an arm.
I have plans now for every Pretender Monster, all that's left is bot hunting - eBay ahoy!
First draft all finished :D. Something of a surprise; it just hit all of a sudden, and it was done. A few days of twitching and existential anxiety followed. Leaving it to foment now, probably for the period of a month or so, then I'm going back to edit, re-write etc. Should be an interesting exercise!
Cackle/Jawbreaker's mold is something quite unique to the Beast Wars line, looks far too frightening to be a maximal. Frostbite's colors are pretty cool though and help make this toy stand out beautifully, the detail on the toy as well is just as gorgeous.
I like the overall figure but his weakness sounds kind of pathetic. "Temperatures above freezing! My ONLY WEAKNESS!" He says while getting his arse handed to him by a toaster.
With all due respect to the writers, I shall ignore that part of his bio.
Order or chaos. If you're going from a standpoint of physics, one of the possible scenarios for the end of the universe is the heat death, or to put it otherwise, when the universe has reached its maximum entropy, And as far as i know entropy is nothing more then a measurement of chaos. It's the ultimate fate of any ordered being, object or otherwise, given enough time. So if that's Unicrons ultimate goal, the titel chaos bringer suits him well.
@arboris I dunno about this____chaos is more about fluctuating states and change. True, entropy IS change___towards dissolution, annihilation and ceasation. Where nothing moves molecularly anymore, which doesn't change anymore. To another state. Entropy is a ongoing process to a finality, a state which doesn't change anymore. Stiffling everlastingly unliving order.
Dear Georgie. I think you should do an unusual combiner for us. The like of Tripredacus, or such. I have a thing for unlikely combiners, and think you should indulge me!
Dave! I do apologise for the licencing issues in this video ;) I shall refrain from using your trademark expressions and gestures as much as I can in the future, my dear ;) Tripredacus? It has been a while since I reviewed him. Haven't done Magnaboss yet either. Watch this space, sir!

XD I suppose he would :D Although I think the colours of the original would suit that better; more of a minty, menthol thing going on.

Neither Primus nor Unicron can hold a candle to the Chaos bringing genius of Discord :D
Also, that toy would make a fuckin lovely Scowl for Monstructor.

I hate the robot mode. I wonder if you could stand him up in beast mode to make something similar to Ravage (from the IDW comics).
