Now on to the figure review. The box we're looking at in this video is the brand new Hasbro Pulse Refractor 3-Pack, the refractor reconnaissance team. This is a repaint of the retail refractor But in generation one toy collars with some extra added Accessories, so I'm really looking forward to cracking this guy open and see what he's all about. I had originally Planned, you know, because my the only option I have is a Walmart, which is terrible of skipping out on the retail refractors since I ordered him and lo and behold, I buy one last week The addictions real. I hadn't bought a transformer for a while. I saw this guy sitting on the shelf and then I bought another one from Amazon and then I bought another one from Walmart.com. So I've got all three of the retail versions as well So anyway enough of talking about the toy Let's get to showing him off and get this review in focus and welcome to Patriot Prime reviews Okay, first things first. Let's take a look at the packaging and the packaging for this set is really cool This whole front of the box is a concave Camera lens, I really dig that you can barely see Refractor there on the inside on the top, of course We got war for Cybertron Siege refractor reconnaissance team three-pack nice Decepticon symbol there Along the side. It's a neat holographic sticker Kind of reminds me of the ones we had in the 80s of the Ark and of course, there's the siege art there on the back turning around You got more refractor reconnaissance team Refractor the Decepticons reconnaissance robot turns the fine art of observation into the cruel craft of destruction And they actually name the individual figures just like G1 You've got viewfinder whose function is blackmail spyglass function surveillance Spectro function propaganda Refractor is an evil marauder not a working camera robots are sold separately Robots are not sold separately each refractor package comes complete with spectro viewfinder and spyglass and a nice Holographic Optimus Prime over here on this side. You've got more siege artwork Pam that looks cool. So let's go ahead and get this guy open along the back open him up and Right here, you've got the instruction sheet And on the inside of the box, let me flip that over You've got a nice holographic sticker of Megatron That's really cool. I dig it. I dig it open this up and There's refractor in a nice Clamshell plastic clamshell. You just simply take that off. I've dropped crim seek and we'll just take him out of the box He's in camera mode got the guns Three guns, which of course transforming to the tripod and where did crim seek go up? Right there Now that I have refractor all put together and displayed properly. Let's take a look at the instructions These instructions are different than the normal siege instructions instead of that cool black and white artwork You've got this nice 80s neon green artwork And of course, you got these neat little bios on the inside like how to do proper propaganda How to blackmail how to do surveillance a Breakdown of the names of the individual accessories The power of those individual accessories and Then how to do transformation. So I really like this booklet and yes, it's a booklet It's all stapled together. That's really really cool. I like the instructions The little crim seek you get I think he's different than the one that I've got with my masterpiece Megatron He's got little pegs on the bottom of his feet so he can peg into refractor up there on top to Take pictures, I guess I Really like the looks of refractors camera mode. This thing looks awesome and it looks so generation one as You can see compared to my generation one reflector now if you want to see a odd review of mine Watch my video review on this figure. It has probably one of my weirdest intros ever Now taking a closer look at refractors camera mode, you will see that this guy has some outstanding molded details and beautiful paint applications look at the silver and red along the lens All these paint applications here the yellow the red This thing is just it's awesome I am in awe of this toy and they did some great molded details on the accessories I mean this handle side you got the button for the camera The little dial to wind the film. There's the settings Of course, they don't work. They're just molded in the flash cube actually has translucent plastic right there So they they really went well with the details and these the Decepticon logo the reflect Refractor across the top that is paint as well. I thought it was a sticker. It is paint. So, yeah, that is a great looking camera and Now for a quick comparison here is the siege refractor recon team With the siege refractor Retail team as you can see the paint applications and the addition of those extra accessories Really make a big difference with these figures Now on my retail refractor. I actually take this section here and Flip those up So he has a flash cube as well Now as far as the accessories go they just peg in you have the handle here. You just have a little hinge Open that up and then pop out the top Just little pegs that line up to the holes here same with the flash cube Just pops off and The top here slide forward and there you go. So now let's go ahead and get these guys into spaceship mode Now ship mode for these guys is laughable this is definitely Using your imagination. They're pretty much just laying down with their weapon between their legs with the Camera lens on top of them. I mean I Guess it's Cybertronian, but to be honest to me if it's gonna be Cybertronian This is a Cybertronian tattoo gun But at least in this mode you can see them broken to their three separate components You have spectro the red one Viewfinder the blue one and spyglass the gray Now in these modes you can kind of incorporate the accessories. I have the flash here on spyglass and The reflector top up here on viewfinder Unfortunately, there is nowhere to put the camera handle. So that has to be set to the side So, let me see if I can adjust these guys a little bit and you can compare the refractor three pack ship mode To the retail refractor ship mode now. Let's get these guys in a robot mode Robot mode is where the new paint applications for this three pack really stand out I mean these guys look fantastic and look more like individual characters opposed to the retail versions of the same clone Now we're gonna go ahead and go over spectro first Now I'm gonna go over articulation for him But articulation is the exact same for all three figures the head can do a complete 360 Arms full 360 as well, and they can go up and down. There is a double hinged elbow or bicep curl Waist can do a complete 360 legs up down all around. He does have a knee bend and ankle tilt Now his paint applications look really good. He has a nice tamper graft decepticon logo there on the chest silver face He actually has silver paint here on the legs And that is about it. I mean he looks really really good Now as far as accessories are concerned you take the little dial and you'll place this down here on his butt He gets a weapon But that in his hand and he gets a piece of the lens These can be a riot shield. You can peg them in his fist right there or in his arm I like to peg it in his arm. So it does look more like a riot shield So he has that look going on now spectra's accessory is The handle now the handle can be another shield that you can peg into the arm on the other side So it looks kind of odd, but that's how it works. So there is Spectro next figure we'll take a look at is spyglass spyglass also has nice silver paint there on the legs a purple decepticon logo with yellow paint on the inside of that clear chest piece silver face and That's about it now as far as his accessories same thing he gets the butt dial place that there black rifle and riot shield and spectra's accessory Was the flash cube now the flash cube has a couple different handles So you can place it in his fist and give him another weapon So there you have spyglass Next up is the leader viewfinder Viewfinder doesn't get any paint on the leg So he's got the same basic gray that the retail figure has nice gray there inside the chest silver face and That's it now. You'll notice he has no decepticon logo, but that's where the accessories come into play He is the leader. So he's going to look a little bit different and a great homage to the original g1 You're going to take the top of the camera Split it apart and inside of these little pegs that you'll flip around and The nose will slot into the holes on his shoulders Now of course now he has his decepticon logo Then like the others you're gonna give him his accessories I put his dial right here on his abdomen So he also completes that g1 look then of course you'll give him his rifle and riot shield and There you have viewfinder and the refractor team all armed and ready for battle And here we have the war for Cybertron Siege refractor reconnaissance team With their generation one counterparts The only other addition I would have liked to seen with this refractor three pack is Give viewfinder a different head sculpt than the other two to kind of make him fit in more with the g1 version Real quick update about spectro His handle shield works so much better on his left arm opposed to his right Just the way it's designed it can fold along the back of the arm. You can place the other shield to give him more of a Complete coverage look so I like that a lot better than where it's shown to be on his right arm So just a quick update for you guys The war for Cybertron Siege refractor reconnaissance team three pack is an amazing set of figures I absolutely love the robot mode and the camera mode is just phenomenal Especially if you're an old-school g1 fan like me the spaceship mode Man, you don't buy this set of figures for those modes and it's easily skipped. So this set is highly recommended Especially if you're in the troop building So does a war for Cybertron Siege refractor reconnaissance team belong in your collection? Absolutely, this is a fantastic set and a great homage to the generation one Reflector. I love the g1 collars. I love the fact that it's all paint applications There's no stickers on this guy. So there's no peeling whatsoever the details on this figure This figure set is amazing. Now. I got mine on Hasbro pulse for $69.99 Which is $10 more than if you bought all three of these guys at retail But the $10 goes toward the extra accessories the flash cube the top the handle here and the little crim seek So yeah, it's not a bad buy And even if you already have these guys It's cool to have the g1 toy version to go with the g1 cartoon version And guys, I want to thank you for stopping by and checking out my video Don't forget to like and don't forget to subscribe.
