You've got the Astro Squad Blastmaster and Fuser in robot mode There is their space shuttle mode and there they are positioned on Ironworks so now without further ado Let's get these guys ripped open out of the package and see if they're as out of this world as they look and Welcome to Patriot Prime reviews Now once you get the Astro Squad all open and out of the packaging you'll see they do come with a sheet of Instructions and just like all the modern Transformers these instructions are very well illustrated and very easy to follow But with these two guys you really don't need these instructions. So here we have Fuser and Blastmaster We'll go ahead and take a look at Fuser first. This is a decent looking robot. I dig this guy He's really cool looking and I love the fact. He has molded in Blasters you can actually see the fist sculpted in and he's wielding these blasters He is dual wielding and ready for some action and I love that face sculpt. It looks like he's smirking He's got a shit-eating grin on his face Ready to take on some Decepticons and those little blasters are Blast effect compatible. Let's get these on there So there you go, that is really really cool Lots of nice molded details on the guy take a look at the chest here Molded details there got some paint applications. They're on the stomach. He's got some blue Underwear molded details down on the legs Articulation for the guy arms can do a complete 360. They're on a ball joint. They can go up They can go down legs up and down as well And he has a knee bend and there is a waist rotation But the waist is locked in with this backpack here And as you can see he's got quite a bit of a backpack so you would have to pop this open move the backpack down to get the waist rotation, but that's mainly for Transformation and speaking of transformation. Let's go ahead and get this guy in his alt mode So let's go ahead with the backpack you're gonna flip this nose cone up and push that down over the head Right here now at the backpacks out of the way you're gonna rotate the waist a complete 360 peg these feet together and Rotate this section around now. We're gonna bring the arms push those up and forward and You just kind of line up everything make sure the Blasters get tucked up and under his legs Everything it's pegged in this section flips down And there is fusers alt mode if it is this little Shuttle and yes, this piece itself is supposed to be a shuttle by itself He's got little thrusters right there on the back that are also blast effect compatible So now you have this little escape shuttle launching off Lots of nice details on this I love the blue paint right there for the windows the black for the nose cone looks really really good So that is fuser now we're going to take a look at Blastmaster This guy my biggest problem with him right out of the package. He is ungodly top heavy. I mean I had to really Manipulate him to get him to stand for this shot I had to spread the legs and angle him forward But there is a lot of junk in this guy's trunk Taking a closer look at him very nice looking robot mode as well Not as much details on him as fuser, but still he's not bad very plain with the wings He needed a Autobot logo or two aside from the product advertisement there I Hate that But anyway a decent looking robot nonetheless arms can do a complete 360 though They are going to hit the wings and the backpack No waist articulation legs can go up and down and there is a knee bend big wingspan though, so He's he's alright. He's He's the weaker of the two robots now to transform this guy He's a little bit more complicated. The first thing you want to do is flip up this tail fin Get that up out of the way Now you can flip the head back and you're going to push up this little peg right here All the way in so it looks like that now you're going to take the legs there's a little peg right here peg these together and Rotate those around making sure they once again peg There's pegs right there that go with those slots on the bottom of the feet Get those lined up pegged in place Now that this is all attached you're going to take the arms There's a little peg right there by the fist and you're going to peg those into the slots there on the hips So get those pegged in Okay, now that those pegs tabs are in you got tabs right here on the wings and down here on the arm You want to make sure these line up and tab into place as well. They will click and There we have blast master in his alt mode now. This looks like the rear of a shuttle, but you're wrong. This is a Separate vehicle as well. You can make out the tiny bridge right here on top though It does use or does need some paint applications But that supposedly is its own little vehicle and of course it's blast effect compatible here on the back peg those in and There we go But of course you guys know already that these two can combine together You got these slots right here that will match up to these pegs and They actually peg together Very well, and now we have the astro squad in their combined form of a NASA Shuttle and that is so awesome that NASA Let's Hasbro use their name on these shuttles it adds a little bit more touch of realism Though the shuttle seems to have a little bit of an angle to it I've tried and tried you just can't get that thing straight, but it still looks really good Great paint applications though. It could use just a little bit more tweaks I'm hoping toy hacks will come up with something for these two But this is a really nice looking shuttle and of course you can add those bigger blast effects here on the back To really make it look like this guy is taking off. I dig it. This thing is Awesome, I really like the space shuttles that we're getting in this new Earthrise line And I love having these two because the astro squad is one generation one Micro master set that I don't have Now just like all the new modern micro masters the astro squad also features a lame weapon mode So what you can do is you got two different five millimeter pegs you can use one here on the Tip of the shuttle by the nose cone you can flip out and there's another one right here on the end So flip either one of those out fold the wings up and let's grab ourselves an Autobot here like Optimus Prime Go ahead and get the shuttle in his hand There we go And now we add blast effects and now we have Optimus Prime wielding a Nass salt rifle That is just That's ridiculous, but there's an option if you so choose and Now for some quick size comparisons here is the transformers war for Cybertron Earthrise astro squad With battle master pinpointer battle master smashdown and The micro master rescue patrol The transformers war for Cybertron Earthrise micro master astro squad is a fun set of figures I absolutely love all the new micro masters we're getting Especially these combiner teams as I said earlier This is one team that I don't have in generation one. So it's so cool to finally have some version of them I love the articulation on the figures. I love Phasers or fuses molded in phasers. It looks really really cool and the shuttle mode man Like I said earlier, it's out of this world. So there you have it guys the transformers war for Cybertron Earthrise astro squad So does the transformers war for Cybertron Earthrise astro squad belong in your collection? Absolutely, these are fun little figures and I love the fact they turn into another space shuttle I mean we're getting so many space shuttles now in the Earthrise line It is so cool, especially now that NASA is allowing their trademark their name on these transformers That is really really cool. And yeah, I love these guys I think they're great. If you see them, don't hesitate pick them up. I found mine on Amazon for $9.99 So I'll put a link in the description of the video Like I said really fun figures and I'm glad I have them in the collection now guys If you enjoyed the video, don't forget to like don't forget to subscribe and don't forget to click that bell icon To get notified when I upload new reviews.
