So right here. You've got airwave in robot mode Transformers war for Cybertron Earthrise on the side. You've got airwave in his Airport or battle station mode on the back here. You actually see he has quite a few modes. You got robot mode battle station mode and Airport mode, but there's actually another mode that's not even featured on the side You got artwork Earthrise artwork and that is pretty much it So now without further ado, let's get this very odd looking bot out of the package and see if he was worth the pickup And welcome to Patriot Prime reviews Now once you get airwave all open and out of the packaging You'll see he does come with a sheet of instructions and as usual these are very well illustrated and very easy to follow Which is fortunate because I had to use the instructions a couple of times with airwave He also gets this little piece right here, which is packaged separately This can be either used as a handheld weapon or attaches to his shoulder Right here. You actually get two of these the other one is the tip of this weapon right here on airwave Now taking a closer look at the figure himself. Like I said airwave is a very weird looking bot He looks like the end result of a one-night stand between a go bot and a Tetris piece Now airwave here is actually an homage to the original generation one airwave But not the airwave figure that was a generation one Micromaster that turned into a jet airwave here is based on this airwaves Base that he came with he had a transforming base that I'll compare to this airwave After a while now taking a closer look at the figure the molded detail on this guy is Amazing starting up here at the top. You can see the pistons the hinges All the little dots and arrows. I mean lots and lots of molded details I love the chest check out the recessed details right there That is really really cool. Now taking a look at the head sculpt we get the light in here Now when I originally saw this face sculpt online I thought he had a Cyclops look kind of like a generation one Shockwave, but if you take a look right there the light can barely get in there He does have painted eyes like orange eyes But honestly, I prefer the Cyclops look so toy hacks if you're watching Let's cover those eyes up and give that centerpiece an evil red glow Moving on down. We got more molded details right there on the thighs You got tank treads and wheels, which is really cool on the legs more details as well Got a 32 right there. I mean for a weird-looking bot. He's got the sculpting now Let's take a look at the articulation for the figure the head can do a complete 360 yes, 360 goes all the way around I always get called out if I say 180 opposed to 360 But hey, I'm not perfect Arms can go up and down but mainly right here at the bottom of the shoulder. He is a modulator So the arms peg in so arms up and down that way. There is an elbow bend Elbow rotation this hand right here. Of course, you see is a weapon this arm Has these little panels that you kind of have to move out of the way to get a full range of motion But it's really not too bad and I love the molded on decepticon logos That looks really really good. He also has a torso rotation Not as much as a waist rotation as a torso Legs up and down in and out. There is a knee bend and ankle rotation. There is no wrist rotation on this figure So very cool looking bot even though he is an odd looking bot now. Let's go ahead and get into transformation and Airwave here is a modulator Which means you take him completely apart to transform him. So we'll go ahead and pull off the weapons This weapon right here is actually two pieces get back up here Pull the arms off Pull the lower legs off Separate the torso from the waist area Now for the waist you want to rotate the legs up And there is a slot right here that goes into that pegs you're going to lock these in place Like so So those are ready for the transformation sequences this section right here. You're going to do the head a 180 And fold it down Like so now the first base we're going to do is or the first alt mode We're going to do is the air base mode. So you're going to take the leg section here And let's see turn air wave up This way and you're going to peg him in Just like this And now you've got these sections here With the lower legs make sure the feet are in the middle. We're going to peg one there And one there Just like so now the arm section you want to straighten this out These actually tab together These two panels so click those together like so Underneath the base here Let's see gotta flip these sections out For getting steps So get these flipped out and these are actually pegged in this blue section is pegged in under there So it is a little tight So once you get those straightened out you're going to take this arm And peg it in right there underneath And the other arm as well We'll get that lined up. So you got the peg facing up And It'll peg in there on the other side actually I think I need to flip these arms There we go So change the arms out because you want to make sure the tabs Are not in the way Man, what am I missing here? Wrong hole There we go. So now we got the arms attached Get that line back up Try to get it flat And I've got this little section right here You take this part attached to the top of the cannon That'll slot into this hole on top And this one here will go Right there on the side and there we have airwaves Airbase mode now right off the bat as you can see It doesn't really lay flat I mean one option will be just to take those arms off, but I can't I mean I've tried A couple different ways. I can't get this thing To lay flat perfectly So there's the airbase It's a it's a little airbase, but so is the original generation one will pull this one in for comparison So there is the generation one airwave airbase With the earth rise version My other complaint with the airbase other than the fact that it will not lay flat Is there's no details right here on the tower piece That really could use some windows or something is just Lots of molded details on the guy, but no Pain applications. So hopefully toy hacks can fix that Now of course airwave can also interact with some of the other micro masters Here comes one of the decepticon jets in for a landing, but the airstrip is too close to the tower He clips a wing and blows up Airwave can also interact with some of these ramp pieces like slither fang here So he can attach right there on the end And of course attached to other bases So we've got that going on and that is pretty much it For airwaves airbase mode now we'll go ahead and get in transformed into my favorite mode His rolling battle base. We once again have to take Everything apart Now once you have airwave all broken back down into his separate components You're once again going to take the torso section and the leg section right here And peg those together Gray section goes on the bottom So we've got that going on now you're going to take the runways from earlier Line those up like so and Attach those via the pegs So we've got that going on now you're going to take the arm section with the decepticon logos And attach it up here on top That'll hold those together Underneath you're going to take the arm section right here and clip that Right there once again you got to make sure you get the tab facing away from those treads There we go and actually flip that around And that'll peg in too So there we go. Like I said, I had to use the instructions on this guy So after we have that going on you're going to take This little tower piece it'll peg the instructions say you can put it here on the side But there's three options you can put it on the side in the center or the other side Let's follow the instructions put that right there and these little cannon pieces We'll go On the sides and this is airwaves rolling battle base so This one here really reminds me more of Metroplex than generation one airwave and I love the big tank treads underneath That's really cool. He does have wheels And this mode can Roll not very good. I mean you more or less Slided across your table, but still a pretty neat mold and once again Very plain it really needs something to set it off I do like the stripes there on the runway the 32 which is another homage to the original toy And those tampograph decepticon logos now the original toy Could look like that you just take the air base mode take the ramp off Fold those sections in I guess you can attach the ramp again like so But that's not really a mode. That's just Halfway transformed as you see that's just a a building right there where this actually Looks more like a battle base so you can attach other weapons To the ports as well to really beef up the armament and let's see Interactivity with some other micro masters That is a much better Airport in my opinion. So that is airwaves Battle base now. Let's give him a part one more time for his final mode Now after you get airwave all separated into his components once again You're going to take these sections right here the landing strips And you're going to put those together like so take your decepticon logo piece And you're going to attach those together Just like you did for the attack base now. You're going to take these sections the feet flip these up Turn him over grab the Low or the upper leg section the tank tread section and you got these pegs right here They're going to line up to the holes on this section Get those pegged in Just like so so you got this going on now what you're going to do is separate this just pull that apart Make sure it stays Lined up and now you've got this section here. You're going to turn this over. Let's see There we go and this All right, let me find the right part This here will peg in Just like that and now you're going to turn this section over You've got this part right here You got these pegs or these holes right there. They're going to line up to these pegs Just like so so you got that going on you got This little peg right here. You need to flip out Take this arm section and just kind of bend it To look like that that's going to peg in right there So you've got that going on now you got this section here This is supposed to go right there in the robot fist And now you take these little black sections here And they will peg in Right there actually you can either peg them in there or Attach them to those pegs Like so Now I actually like pegging them in here Which makes the weapons stick out just a little farther, but we'll stick with the instructions Peg those in rotate the orange handles down And there you have airwaves Battle base or weapon in placement This one is another one that's kind of lame. It just it doesn't angle up You're supposed to get like a Upwards angle like so, but This section here hits this right there and it just kind of locks. You can't really Do anything with it so Good idea poor execution now here is Earthrise airwave with generation ones airwaves Gun in placement or missile placement. This is much better. It angles up. You've got the missiles that can fire off Love generation one Get those back on And you can interact you take airwave you put him in here like that's the command center So he can man this missile section this It has an opening, but I don't think No, that's a little tall for a micromaster there. I guess he's gonna have to stand behind and Work it that way But this this is a disappointment. This is kind of a Afterthought mode in my opinion So there you go guys, there is airwaves weapon in placement And now for some quick size comparisons here is transformers war for cybertron earthrise airwave With generation one megatron Generation one airwave Fellow modulator earthrise grease pit And earthrise ramjet Transformers war for cybertron earthrise airwave is an okay figure. I love the robot mode It really grew on me, especially with all those molded in details And I love his rolling battle base mode The airbase mode airport mode. I find a little lacking The fact it won't lay straight is really off-putting and the weapon in placement is just Terrible So there you go guys war for cybertron earthrise airwave So does a transformers war for cybertron earthrise airwave belong in your collection? Absolutely If you find him in the clearance aisle, I mean, this is a cool-looking robot. It grew on me It's not near as goofy as I thought he'd be. I love the molded details on the guy But it's the alt modes. That's what kills me His best alt mode is one that the original generation one toy really had nothing to do with The airport mode and the battle station or the Weapon in placement Those suck. I mean I was really disappointed in those I mean the original generation one airwave is one of my favorite micro master sets with, you know, the base but this one I just wait on I mean other and you just need a new decepticon to help bolster your ranks So yeah, you see this guy on the shelf Wait for a sale Now guys, I want to give a big shout out to a new member of the channel kid Notorious.
