Legacy Evolution Breakdown | Doctor Lockdown Reviews 146

"even distribution is getting better" Me who's had nothing but legacy wave 1 in stores for over a year: 💀

I find it kind of stupid and funny that shops would refuse Transformers for lack of gimmicks. They're Transformers. They're robots that transform into vehicles/animals/other. Their existence is a gimmick.

The last thing I expected in a Transformers review was Mori Calliope... That had me rolling

The more I think about designers the more I agree with you. Archer era was really fun, all those chunky toys with fun gimmicks and new interpretations of known characters, Warden is G1 till you vomit and now Mark is back at doing crazy picks for waves. New Bludgeon, more comic characters, UT and TFA updates.

Y'know, I'm absolutely not gonna lie, this is absolutely one of the Breakdowns of all time.

From what you described, this Breakdown would be a kind of army-builder. It's a car that transforms into a robot. If it didn't have Breakdown's name, face, or even combine with Menasor, with some recolors it could be a pretty good vehicon or Auto trooper template. At least that's my thought.

WOOOOOO, finally the video got released, thank you for finally giving poor ol Breakdown the review & justice he needed. I remember first seeing the Jalpa in Rocky IV in school and thought it was the coolest car I’ve ever seen (I still think it is), I felt that the article that said the Jalpa being a failure is false since it’s a lot more beloved in the super car enthusiasts world. And as a diehard Stunticons / Menasor fan, I felt that a Jalpa is actually fitting for Breakdown. And you are absolutely right, the toy itself is pretty fun. He’s literally my second favorite legacy stunticon figure besides Dead End. Great video as always man!

Walmart literally refuses to stock anything past legacy wave 2 and more expensive than a voyager but it has no problem with earthspark and rotb mainline

Pretty much my view on this one. The alt-mode isn't a deal breaker and it's an okay retool. I will say that they reissue with "toy colors" is miles better and with the base white color being the same between both releases, it does mean I can keep the first release chest and head and use the new roof with the white side window bars and the new wheel wells. I'm going to TRY to see if I can keep the original bonnet with the center located decepticon symbol but use the new wheel well pieces. It LOOKS like the red trapezoid is the same shade of red and in the exact same spot so they might line up well enough. The few vehicle mode changes really do help though.

I have seen a total of 3 legacy evolution figures on shelves. I have only seen restocks of legacy wave 1. I don’t know what’s going on, because it was fine up until Christmas than boom. Nothing. Also I’m supremely glad no version of breakdown is using that cream colour because it looks literally rancid

I didn't appreciate Breakdown at first because it was Wild Rider but white however now he is in my top favourite transformers of the year so far along with Tarn, Hot Shot and Crashbar

The channel lore is ramping up apparently

22:14 was that Steamworld Dig music I heard? Good taste. And it's always good to see appreciation for the less dazzling figures, honestly. Glad you enjoyed this one.

So, I get this reommended a year late. A shame, because I believe you and I are both in this camp together, which happens to be a very very small one. I LOVE this guy's colorscheme most of all. He just POPS! The red and especially the blue, against that stark white, yes please, I'll take 2 lol. Then the silver they use is a great break up on break down. Yup, I know. I was a bit disappointed with the alt mode, but got over it pretty quickly. He, imo, is the best looking one, if you can get passed the inaccurate alt mode, and take him for his own merits. He's good. I feel its the color that makes him.

"tua sententia non refert" = "Your opinion doesn't matter" in latin Hmmm... the buildup to the grand return of Vaughan Vandurghbarr begins?

20:08 I leave the backpack mistransformed for Wildrider, but open and splayed for Breakdown. In bot and limb mode. Helps make them look that much more different from each other.

wait, that's how the front transforms? so much easier.

You were a lot more forgiving to Breakdown than I was in my own review! I gave him an average score, because both he, and Wildrider, seemed like average figures. There was nothing really bad about them, but nothing really GOOD either. They were just... made. Made to fill in the gaps on the backs of Menasor's legs. I concur with your hope that someone will make a kit which will allow for a functional way to reverse the legs, so the car bits are in front.....

Hasbro: re-releases the Siege/ER/Kingdom off-brand Countachs countless times Also Hasbro: refuses to make Legacy Breakdown's alt mode into one

Liking the review so far, but that Calli voice clip gave me so much whiplash I'm commenting about it (also helping with the algorithm, I think)
