So make sure and check out toyhacks.com and tell them Patriot Prime sent you. Now on to the review. The featured button in this video is X-Transbot Master X Series Lock. This is lock version 2 from what I understand. A representative from X-Transbot reached out to me a couple weeks ago asking if I'd be willing to review this new version of their lock character. Which of course as you can see is cup. Apparently their first version was plagued with all kinds of QC issues and they've updated this figure. Now I told the individual I said you know I appreciate to offer but I am not a masterpiece or big third party guy. I usually have a little bit of issues with these figures. They're just kind of above my skill set if you will. But he likes what I bring to the table as far as reviews. And he was willing to go ahead and send this guy to me so I could check him out. At least give you my first impressions on this figure. You know a fresh set of eyes from someone who doesn't collect this type of toy. So real quick let's take a look at the packaging. We've got X-Transbots Master X Series 86MXXI Warrior Lock. One of his names lock reference to a lock from lost. So we've got cup here with a Target Master. Let's see. Oh death source right there on the bottom. Let's see. There are still many causes worth sacrificing for so much history to be made. So that's kind of neat right there in some chrome writing X-Transbots there on the top. On the side we've got cup once again with cool logo image and back of the box. I love the artwork right here with some tech specs. I'm not going to read that but if you want to pause it go right ahead. So now without further ado let's go ahead and get this figure opened up out of the packaging and check him out and I want to see what all the fuss is about third party masterpiece figures. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. Now once you get lock all opened up and out of the packaging you'll see he does come with a book of instructions and these are very well illustrated and that's all I'm saying about this book of instructions. He also gets two Target Masters and you get one Target Master for lock and this other Target Master is for the X-Transbot hot rod figure. And these two they're alright. I mean they're little Target Master guys they almost look like stick figures. They have ball joints and lots of articulation and the joints are actually fairly tight. I've seen some reviews from the old figure that showed these guys really falling apart but these seem to be well put together. Now as far as their weapon mode there's not much to weapon mode. You just simply fold these guys in half here at the waist bring the legs up over their head bring the barrel of the gun forward flip down the handle and take the forearms here and peg them up into the hips and that's pretty much it for the blaster. So to be honest I think Hasbro and their Battle Masters did a much better job with the Target Master figures than these X-Transbots ones and this one here for the hot rod figure basically the same thing just a different style gun. Now Locke also includes quite a few different accessories to change up his look. You get this flat piece section right here which is actually another top for his head. So you've got a round head or you can go with a flat top look. You also have multiple faces. You have the comic book Saigar face. I believe that's what that's called so he's smoking his Saigar. You've got a angry yelling face. Let's see if I can get the angle better so you can see it. So you've got that one and you've got come here this laughing face. These are hard to get a hold of. Now these are sculpted really good but I don't like how the inside of the mouth is white. That should have been a different color kind of like Masterpiece Megatron's faces. Now I like the scowling face I think that looks really good. Really nice cup looking face sculpt. So let's put Cut back over here for a second. He also comes with an extra set of hands. These are larger hands than the ones he has attached to him right now and these are for wielding the Target Masters. He also comes with a articulated shark to con tail and I really like this. This is awesome. Lots of flexibility, big range of motion or lots of range of motion rather. I love this. It's got the handle that most Masterpiece figures have with the two tabs actually tab into the palm of his hand. If that wasn't there I would use this with my studio series Null. I love this tail. That's what Hasbro should have done. So that is really really cool. And he also comes with his blaster and that's very reminiscent to the Generation 1 toy. Now just in case you don't know how these work is the handle here is just like the tail. It just pegs right in. See if I can get that in there. Pigs right into the slot in the palm of his hand and then you just wrap the fingers around and there you go. That looks really really cool. I like that. And then he comes with a trading card and that's a very thick trading card. Almost feels like plastic. I'd open it up and check it out. But like I said this is a borrowed figure. So now let's take a look at Locke himself. And my first impressions is wow this guy is made really really well. And he's heavy. His entire lower leg is die cast. I mean listen to that. This is a solid figure. From some of the other reviews I saw the first generation of him. The first edition was a floppy mess. That's not the case with this guy. This is an awesome transformer. I would love to have more die cast metal robots in my collection. I already showed the head sculpt off earlier but there's another look at it. It looks a lot like cup. I mean this looks great. Maybe if they sculpted in just a few more lines to kind of break the face up. But still looks great. It is on a ball joint. It can look up. It can look down. It can do that little cockeyed. I know who I'm wrong. It doesn't have the cockeyed look but you've got up. You've got down and a complete 360. Arms up down. They can also do a complete 360 as well. There is an elbow bend. A dual hinge here at the elbow. Wrist rotation. Right here. And of course you saw that the hands are articulated as well. You've got the forefinger and the three other fingers right there. So you can kind of do that pointing look. And here we'll throw in the tail. Just because. Have him dual wielding here. So there you go. That's cool. I love that tail. I wish they'd sell these tails separately. Moving on with the articulation. There is a waist rotation. The legs can go forward and back. And listen to that. Gotta love ratchets. There's also, oh. There is a ab crunch. Too cool. So he can sit and tell old war stories. Legs can also go out. And back in. There is a upper, or a thigh rotation here. Looks like a ball joint. Right there underneath that flap. There is a knee bend. And let's see. No knee rotation. There is an ankle tilt. And the toes move. This figure is really impressive. As a robot. And just how he looks. Pretty much exactly like Cup from the 1986 movie. I love the looks of this guy. And he cleans up really well. There's hardly any kibble whatsoever. And you'll also notice. No tires. You don't see the wheels at all. For his vehicle mode. And that's quite impressive. And whoops. They can hide the wheels there. Old timer stand up. See he's very, he's weighty. It's not he's top heavy at all. You just have to get him just right to stand up. Just because of the weight here on the legs. There's part of the problem. I didn't have the heel spurs down all the way. So there you go. Once again, topples right over. What is going on? There we go. That's kind of my fault. I have him more at an angle than he should be. But a very solid figure. You know he fell. Nothing went out of place. I can hold him up like this. Even though those legs are heavy. I mean these are weighted. I mean I have to really shake it. To get them to move. So very impressive. With the joints and the ratchets. Aha he stood up that time. So that's pretty much it. Robot mode. And here we have lock in vehicle mode. And oh my god. That transformation. Was insane. I wanted to do it for you on camera. But I tried over and over again. I got frustrated. I transformed him back into robot mode. And I got to give a huge shout out to fellow YouTuber. Paik for life. He did a video on this guy. And it really showed in great detail. How to transform him. So I'm sorry. I didn't show the transformation. But here's the link to Paik's video. Check it out. It is a great help. So anyway on to locks vehicle mode. As you can see. This is cups alt mode. And it looks just like it did. In the generation one cartoon. Or comics. And just like robot mode. It's got some weight to it. Nice die cast. Nice rubber wheels that roll really well. My comment earlier. It was so impressive that those wheels are hidden. Within robot mode. Now. There's some sections I really couldn't get to peg in. Perfect. So he's got a little bit of gaps. And I'm not a big fan of the back here. This section I couldn't get to attach at all. So. It may just be me. I'm not used to transforming this type of figure. But my God. This thing is beautiful. And chunky. I love it. I mean I feel like I could really do some damage. If I hurled this across the room. Now. I'm not the biggest fan of cups vehicle mode. But still. They did a really good job with this. Now. You can also take one of cups target masters here. And. They're still attached to the rear of the vehicle. It's got these little. Slots for these little pegs right here. That go on the slots of either side of cups. Bed. So just peg that in. Right there. So. You've got that going on. Like I said, not the biggest fan of those. Target masters. But there's still a nice display option. So there you go guys. Lock in vehicle mode. And now for some quick size comparisons. Here is X Transbots. 86 Warrior Lock. With Generation 1 Cup. Titans Return Cup. And Studio Series 86 Cup. The X Transbots Master X Series Warrior Lock is a very impressive transformers figure. I love his robot mode. I love the die cast. This is a solid figure. He can take a licking. And keep on ticking. I just cannot rave enough. About robot mode. I love it. Especially with all the different accessories. And add on pieces. That can really enable you to change up his look. Transformation. I hate. The transformation. It's just something I'm not used to. Master piece. Third party figures. I'm more of the Hasbro guy. But for you master piece collectors. I think he's going to prove to be a great challenge for you. And you guys might not mind so much. Vehicle mode. Well I've never been a big fan of cups vehicle mode. So it is what it is. So there you go guys. X Transbots Master X Series Lock. So. X Transbots Master X Series Warrior Lock. Belonging your collection. Well if you're a master piece collector. Or a cup fan. Absolutely. This is an amazing figure. I love the heft on this guy. He is just so. Solid. I feel that if I drop this figure on the floor. The figure wouldn't be damaged whatsoever. But my floor would. He's good. He's solid. Very very impressive. I mean when I first took this figure out of the box. I was like wow. I'm really going to hate to give this guy back. Because I think he looks amazing. And would look awesome. On a display shelf. Now transformation. I didn't like whatsoever. And I apologize once again for not showing it. But I do hope you follow the link. That I included. And check it out. I hope you're able to turn him into vehicle mode. The instructions suck. I couldn't follow those at all. Vehicle mode. It's cups of vehicle mode. It's nothing special to write home about. So all in all. I think this is a really really good figure. For you. Masterpiece. And cup fans. You third party guys. I think will eat this up. Great looking figure. If you enjoyed this video.
