 Hey, what's going on guys? Patriot Prime here once again with another Transformers Generation 1 review and the bot we're taking a look at in this video is 1987's Autobot Targetmaster point blank and Peacemaker now before I get going on the figure review I need you guys to do me a favor go ahead and hit that subscribe button down there on the bottom That way you'll get notified when I come out with any new videos and it'll help me in my channel out tremendously Now point blank hit the toy shells in 1987 along with his fellow Targetmasters a sure shot and crosshairs He only appeared in the animated television show in season four, which was the three-part rebirth series and Man, he was just a background character. He was barely used and to my knowledge I don't even think he had a line of dialogue Throughout the whole series and that's pretty much how they treated him in Marvel comics as well He appeared in issue number one of the headmasters limited series as one of Fortress Maximus's Autobot troops and then he appeared later on with his Targetmaster Peacemaker when they underwent the Targetmaster process now Peacemaker he got more dialogue in the Marvel series. He was portrayed as kind of the leader of the Targetmaster weapons, so he had some speaking lines and but that was it I mean he had like two panels that was it the same with old point blank here He was a blink and you miss it character So that's pretty much the history of this guy as far as the US is concerned I know he had a bigger appearance in the Japanese headmaster series, but I'm not that familiar with that I do promise one of these days. I'm gonna watch that series Now I'm gonna do something a little bit different with this review. I picked this figure up about a year ago off eBay He's in great shape. He came with all of his accessories But as I discovered when I was getting ready to start this series He is lacking a lot of decals. The only decals he has is the ones up here on his shoulders ones there on his side and That's it. He's pretty he's pretty plain as far as the decals are concerned So I thought I would do a combination toy hacks generation one figure review I'm gonna take this guy. I'm gonna clean off the old stickers and apply some brand new ones So now we'll take a look at point blank before the toy hacks decals Then afterwards and on to the figure review and welcome to a Patriot Prime reviews Now the first thing we'll do is take a look at my generation one point blank as he is This is exactly how I got him off of eBay. He only has six decals He's got the big red sticker here up front black sticker on the side and the stickers here on the spoiler Same three stickers on the other side six in total another issue. He has is He's got these weird black specs all over him. It's there on the stickers there on the front The sides. I mean, I'm not sure what that is It does not want to come off So hopefully with my little restoration tricks, we can see if I can clean up up a little bit Underneath kind of showing the robot mode. There's no stickers. No other issues all the problems with this figure is In vehicle mode now granted the issues aren't that bad But I figure since he's missing so many stickers and I am a big toy hacks fan I would go ahead and Get a new sticker sheet for him as Most of you may know this is how toy hacks started off back in the day when they were Reprolabels they made generation one decals so you could improve your figures I'd say about 80% of my collection of G1s have been reprolabeled So now we'll go ahead and take this guy downstairs to my kitchen where I do my restoration work And I'll show you briefly how I do that Now before we get started, I want to stress that you restore a vintage figure at your own risk These are the things that I've been doing to my vintage toys since 2012 I've never had a problem, but you never know how an individual or a toy is going to react So let me stress again. You do this at your own risk Now the first thing I'm going to do is remove these stickers and the first step I always do I have to see how much I can remove just with my thumbnail So you vintage collectors you hardcore G1ers may turn away now Get my thumbnail up and under that sticker Problem is I don't have that many or much of a thumbnail Now as you can see I got most of the sticker off There's a little bit of residue on the front here on the sides and the spoiler Now I'm going to take my favorite sticker remover Goo Gone this stuff works wonders and I highly recommend the spray gel. It stays in place better So we're going to spray this on everywhere Where there was a sticker residue nice coating try my best not to get the rub symbol there and I'm going to make sure the areas with that black spots Have some Goo Gone on them as well. I usually take my fingers Rub it in and now I'm going to let that set for about 10 minutes Okay, it's been about 10 minutes. So what I'm going to do is take my thumbnail over the Residue from the stickers and as you see that's coming off Beautifully highly recommend you use your thumbnail. You don't want to use any tools or anything. You don't want to risk scraping the paint Get that focus back on there, but that's coming off great No issues whatsoever as far as the Residues concern now. Where's those black spots See if those are coming off Those are still on there. So that must be paint or something. I'm gonna have to live with that May try something else here in a minute, but as you can see looking at my thumbnail The residue is coming off beautifully and Now we'll move on to step three Now the next step in my restoration project can be a little controversial at times because I'm going to take this G1 Figure and give him a hot soapy bath Now what I like to do is I use dawn Dishwashing liquid because Goo Gone is greasy and a type of oil and dawn of course gets grease out of your way So let's go ahead and move this guy over here to the sink Hot soapy water. I've got a soft toothbrush right here. Now the first thing I'll do is we'll pop the spoiler off It's one solid plastic piece Get it in the water And we'll just scrub it down make sure get all that residue off All the sticker residue all the Goo Gone That looks pretty good. We'll rinse it off here and the spoiler is nice and clean Now for the figure now, I really don't submerge a lot of my generation one figures in the water because of the sticker here the rub symbol And also never do this with your electronic figures. You should have figured that out, but Get the water in here and I go over the figure Where the spots were where the stickers were and the Goo Gone so we'll get him good and Soapy scrubbed all over I keep my thumb He's getting a little bit wet here, but I keep my thumb over that sticker I've done this over and over again on countless G1s. I've never accidentally taken a rub sticker off So get this guy all scrubbed up Looks good. I'm not feeling Any residue now we'll just rinse him off and now we'll set point blank out to dry And once he gets all dried up we apply the toy hacks and Now I have my generation one point blank all cleaned and prepped for Toyhaxing I've got my toy hacks labels right here ready to go and my official toy hacks tweezers I highly recommend these tweezers. These are great for those little teeny tiny decals Now I always find the generation one stickers to be a little bit of a challenge toy hacks is modern stickers They've got some great sticker mapping in order to find where to place your stickers as far as the G1 There's one little picture and you have to do some deciphering So what I normally do is use good old Google find some images and place the stickers accordingly So let's get point blank all decal up and get him ready for his generation one Patriot Prime review a Few minutes later and there we have point blank all toy hacks up and man. Does he look fantastic? He looks like he just came out of the box in 1987 I Really wish I could have got those black specs off of there But I guess I can say that's battle damage and he can kind of blend in with the siege line One issue I had with this set the Autobot stickers the Autobot symbols right here the ones that came with the set Were a little too big so when I applied them They kind of hung over the edge either on this side or over the Wheel well or down here, but if there's one thing I have plenty of it's a Autobot logo stickers So before we get to taking a look at point blank. Let's take a look at his target master peacemaker now peacemaker He's got a lot of nice molded details Not much as far as paint concerned. He's got paint on his face and it's all white There's no articulation at all with these or with any of the target masters I mean all they do is turn into a gun and that's it and turning into a gun super simple Fold the legs up over the head There's weapon mode of course and there's his head so he's what he's looking at his own feet while he's ass-blasting you But anyway, there is peacemaker now you can attach peacemaker To point blank via the roof So now you have the vehicle in battle mode now taking a look at this car. This is a Cybertron Cybertronic race car. I love the flame decals there on the side He looks really really good very unique looking vehicle. I love the cockpit the whole the front end That looks pretty cool. The wheels are neat too. The rims don't move but the tires around it. They do so he rolls Really really well Lot of nice molded detail on the figure. Of course the stickers make it pop too. I Love it. I love the looks of this car Now let's go ahead and get him transformed into robot mode. He's got a fairly simple transformation The first thing you're gonna do is remove the spoiler Then you're gonna take the back half flip over forming the robot legs if you hear nice ratchet there and now Do a 180 Up on top if you look there's little Pegs right there. So you want to pull up on the front of the vehicle Popping those loose from the doors. You're gonna do that on both sides Underneath you're gonna swing the arms up fold the doors in and Bring these sections down And then once they're down you're sitting there simply going to excuse me Actually need to pull these out and rotate in place take the front of the vehicle Flip down revealing the robot head and there you have point blank in robot mode And I really like this robot mode. I think he's really really cool looking I love the 80s style shoulder pads and he's got a great looking head sculpt now Take note in Marvel comics and the cartoon his head was drawn completely different He has this little pointy part poking out kind of looks like a quail and from what I understand from the TF wiki He was originally drawn and animated due to some concept art while his original head kind of looks a lot like side swipes Now as far as articulation goes for this figure. He's G1. He's pretty much a brick He's got a knee bend, but both legs are connected and that's mainly due for transformation a lot of Articulation in the arms the arms can point forward by rotating the shoulders. They also have an elbow bend and a wrist swivel So that's pretty impressive for a generation one figure now the spoiler he came with You can display this a couple different ways. I've seen people place the spoiler here on the front like that but That gives him his prime armor makes him look like he's got one of those Baby carriers on these front. I don't do that. I use mine as a shield Place it in his hand Where the wrist rotation comes in you can actually rotate the wrist around so he's holding it like a shield Like that and that's how I display mine You can also take peacemaker Place it in his other hand and now you have point blank all armed and ready for battle And now for some size comparison here is 1987's point blank with peacemaker With generation one Optimus Prime Hasbro generation selects ricochet with my custom battle master nebulon And power of the primes punch with his shoulders flared out Everybody's hoping that we get a repaint remold of this figure into a modern point blank 1987's target master point blank is a fantastic toy and a great example of the target master gimmick I just wish the target master figure itself was a little bit better I love the robot mode on this figure and the vehicle mode is not too shabby either and Big shout out to toy hacks their decal sets to enhance these old generation one figures is phenomenal, so there you go guys 1987's target master point blank with peacemaker So does a generation one point blank with peacemaker belong in your collection? Absolutely, this is a great toy and a perfect example of the target master gimmick Like I said, I just wish the target master figure was a little better Now this guy is going to set you back a few bucks because he is one of the only Target masters I think the only target master that comes with an extra accessory his shield Spoiler, so if you are hunting one of him down make sure he's got the spoiler Peacemaker and of course the bot himself also big shout out to toy hacks.
