Transformers Generations IDW 30th Anniversary Legends Class Cosmos and Payload.

You may never meet a pair that is more eager to please than Autobot Cosmos and Payload. They're both proud of their ability to fly into space, and eager to use it to benefit the Autobot cause. It's a lonely life in orbit, but they both make up for it by performing some of the most awesome daredevil space stunts anyone has ever heard of. It's just too bad there's no one else up there to see them.

01:07God, it's a UFO! Somebody called the MAMO!
01:10You're on your own, bitches!
01:12That means I'm humanity's only hope.
01:14I must get the flamethrower.
01:19Really?
01:20I am not a flying saucer!
01:23Well then what are you?
01:25A Yin?
01:26A Transformer!
01:28A Transformer that transforms into a UFO!
01:31What?
01:35So here's Cosmos and Payload in their alt mode and they look fantastic next to each other.
01:42And there is a way to combine these two.
01:46However, it's absolutely ridiculous and I'll talk about that later on.
01:50Meanwhile, we'll go through Payload first.
01:53I gotta say, he looks nice as a white shuttle with the black details, the red Autobot logo on the
01:58side.
01:58I believe this guy is not actually Payload in the G1 Micromaster line, but he's actually more based on the
02:05lines of the name of the guy.
02:07I think it's Sky High? I might be wrong.
02:09And, um, I gotta say, it doesn't look too bad.
02:14Get ready for the transformation, because there's a lot.
02:16There's a lot of development in this little guy.
02:19Watch.
02:23Oh!
02:24That was a lot.
02:25So here he is in his robot mode and I gotta say, he looks really good.
02:29He can do the twist.
02:30Oh, what more articulation do you need?
02:33Look at his face.
02:34He's covered in smurfberries.
02:36He's got a very nice helmet around his head.
02:40I mean, by God, that's beautiful.
02:42Probably the best helmet for a Micromaster I've seen so far.
02:46The legs are nothing really much, but, you know what, they work for the toy and I gotta say, he
02:51looks pretty good.
02:52Gun mode isn't really that hard to get into.
02:55It's mostly the hard part is flipping up that peg.
02:58But once you get that done, here's his gun mode.
03:02And I gotta say, for a gun, it's not really that bad.
03:05And you can plug it on to the Dark and the Moon figures if you want.
03:09I gotta say, not bad.
03:11Now, even though he's not in his gun mode when he's combined to Cosmos and alt mode,
03:16the combination is pretty much like this.
03:19You put the shuttle in the back here.
03:22And that's it.
03:25Yep.
03:31Cosmos and his alt mode is very impressive.
03:34I gotta say, I really do like the look of it.
03:37Now, the only real issue I have with this alt mode in its entirety is the fact that nothing really
03:44plugs in as well as I hope.
03:45The entire backpack piece right here, it barely snaps in.
03:51You kind of have to really use a lot of force and get everything lined up.
03:55Pretty much everything you need to get lined up perfectly or else you're not gonna get a good enough UFO.
04:00But I gotta say, it's got that very nice 80s theme.
04:04I love the cockpit on this guy.
04:06It looks amazing.
04:07The yellow stripes.
04:08Oh, it's beautiful.
04:10This guy really pops in your collection.
04:12And he's actually got some good size.
04:15He has a bionicle piece by comparison because I have nothing.
04:18Oh, there's hair all over it.
04:20Because I have nothing else next to me.
04:22It's actually quite big.
04:24Not deluxe class big, but it's got a lot of space in the alt mode.
04:28So, yeah, that's pretty much it.
04:30You can see his head right there.
04:32Gorgeous.
04:33Kind of funny that he transforms into a UFO.
04:36But with good reason.
04:38Because he's one of those guys that goes around in space.
04:41He doesn't go to Earth.
04:42Earth is too boring.
04:47So, let's go to the robot mode.
05:10Do you know what my theme song is?
05:17X-Files.
05:18And as you can see, this is Cosmos in his robot mode.
05:21And I gotta say, he's quite gorgeous.
05:23Look at that head sculpt.
05:24It looks brilliant.
05:25The chest is very nice.
05:27I love the arms.
05:28Even though they have a lot of kibble on them.
05:31I guess those hydraulics could count as guns.
05:34So, you got that.
05:35And he's even got the knee guns.
05:37Now, I'm not a huge fan of how the legs turned out.
05:40But you know what?
05:41I gotta say, it's not really that bad.
05:45I love the transformation too.
05:47At least with the waist joint.
05:49Yes, he's even got waist articulation.
05:52It's up here.
05:53But, you know, he's got that.
05:54And it's really cool because it kind of clicks into place.
05:58And it reminds me of a first edition Starscream.
06:00Which is another figure that I absolutely love.
06:04I don't know if this is just on mine.
06:06But as a mistake, I rotate the legs the other way.
06:10Yeah, if you got this in hand and you transform it, you're going to figure out what I'm talking about.
06:15However, when I try to fix it, the knee likes to snap out of place.
06:21And it's for both of the legs, I believe.
06:24But, you know, just remember which way the legs have to transform and then flippity-doo-dah.
06:30He's got an Autobot logo on the one side, but not the other.
06:33Which, by the way, I forgot to say.
06:35Packaging.
06:35Ooh.
06:36But I love payload as a gun.
06:38These two just look like they're going to have a hell of a time.
06:41So, you know what this calls for in epic size comparison time.
06:45There's Cosmos with Commander-class figure.
06:48And he is smaller than a Commander-class figure.
06:50But he's just around the same size as a Scout-class figure.
06:54So, you're getting your money's worth with that.
06:56I mean, he is taller than the average Legends-class figure.
06:59But you also get the payload figure, which looks amazing.
07:03I mean, he is quite small.
07:04You know, there's a good comparison with the Megablocks figure.
07:07A Botshots, a Creon, a Lego figure, Hot Wheels.
07:11Legends-class figure, an original.
07:14Well, actually, a KO Micro-Master.
07:17We've got, uh, well, a Commander-class figure.
07:20We've got Deluxe First Edition Bumblebee, which I plan to review.
07:23We've got Master Chief going, uh.
07:25We've got Scout-class.
07:26We've got a can.
07:27We've got R.I.D. Bumblebee.
07:29And then we've got Nightmare Unicron.
07:31Why?
07:32Because I have them.
07:33So, even though Swerve is probably better just because it's less clunky,
07:37I gotta say, for the nostalgic feeling,
07:40and probably because this is the best Cosmos ever.
07:44I gotta say, I highly recommend these two.
07:47I mean, if you're gonna get one, get the other.
07:49But what I recommend, Cosmos, that is the question.
07:52Let's go to my overall review.
07:58So, overall, do I highly recommend Cosmos with Payload?
08:02I gotta say, they're quite a fun bunch.
08:05Uh, Payload's not really that bad.
08:07Very quick transformation to the alt mode, to the robot mode, but whatever.
08:11And Cosmos, honestly, he looks good.
08:15Definitely an improvement over the past years.
08:17I gotta say, a lot of people might disagree with me on this,
08:21but I think, personally, he's the best Cosmos yet.
08:26Yeah, sorry, G-Wineers.
08:28Anyways, that is pretty much it.
08:30I am the Canadian video.
08:32I'm going to eat a bacon.
