Video reviews for all the newest Transformers releases are common place these days. There are quite literally dozens of reviews for most every new figure we see in the stores. That said, there's a huge number of Transformers figures that have never gotten air time, until now. Thanks to forums member Vigadeth who has posted video review of one of my faves, the Beast Wars Transmetal Ramulus action figure. He's a goat....he has a great motto....he has chrome magenta! HE'S AMAZING! Check out the video to revisit all that TM goodness again after the jump.

This was a commissioned piece. Optimus Primal is ultra class (larger one) and the original version. Few things bugged me about the figure, so I did my best to improve those. To begin with, the original figure only had fists, and when in Gorilla/alt mode, those fists weren't facing a convincing direction. I added articulated, rotating hands. I also gave his robot mode working LED eyes, with easy-access batteries located on the back. Lastly, I gave Optimus a pair of cool swords, c/o Movie Leader Prime.

Peaugh is back with another video review with this being a look at the Beast Wars Quickstrike homage, Transformers Dark of the Moon Mechtech Deluxe Darksteel. The figure is a repaint of the Sideswipe mold from the same line with a brand-new head and remolded Mechtech weapons from Starscream. Overall, Peaugh states that he's a little disappointed in the mold, with the combined Starscream weapon not fitting well in his hands due to the wheels and an overall cheaper feel. Judge for yourself in the video after the jump. The figure will be available at all retailers next month in the U.S. and is a BIC Camera exclusive in Japan.

Optibotimus has posted his video review of the upcoming Transformers Dark of the Moon Mechtech Deluxe Darksteel.

We don't know about you, but the guys at the Tformers offices cannot get enough of the Transformers Dark of the Moon Mechtech Deluxe Darksteel, the Beast Wars Quickstrike homage. The figure takes the base mold of Mechtech Sideswipe from the third film and slaps on a brand-new head mold, which we have not gotten an extreme close-up until now. The images now only show off the head mold, but some more looks at the modified Starscream weapon. Take in the images in the gallery.
