00:11What did you do to tailgate?
00:13Who's tailgate?
00:14You know, the one that's standing right behind me.
00:16Wait a minute.
00:19Hold on.
00:22That is coming to me.
00:29Tailgate, back from the tent?
00:30Was I dead?
00:31Yeah.
00:34Huh.
01:19Hello guys, I'm the Canadian reviewer doing a new video review for you guys.
01:23And this time we're taking a look at Tailgate with Ground Pounder.
01:27Now, Tailgate is kind of a character that just wanted to be accepted.
01:30You know, wanted to be loved.
01:32Wanted attention from his peers.
01:35Wanted to be...
01:36Wanted to...
01:46But enough about emotional backstories.
01:48Let's take a look at Tailgate with Ground Pounder.
01:58And as you can see, this is Tailgate in his old mood.
02:00Now, he reminds me of a Pontiac Firebird.
02:04Why do I say that?
02:05Well, the flame decos and the main body paint is actually...
02:10It kind of reminds me of an inverted color for this Pontiac Firebird that I actually saw recently.
02:15Which, did you know, in a Toy Fair picture in the catalog, they actually have a tailgate painted in yellow.
02:24And they actually have a hubcap painted in white.
02:28Like, the colors switched at some point of time.
02:30There are some flaws with the blue paint, which I'm going to mention in a bit.
02:35But I gotta say, this is a pretty good looking generic white car.
02:40It's just so entirely generic.
02:43I mean, the best part about it is the fact that it reminds me of a Pontiac Firebird.
02:47Yes, I know it's not.
02:49Too big.
02:50Dumb.
02:51Too big.
02:52Too big.
02:53Poopy.
02:54Also, you've got, like, the pipes sticking out.
03:00Yes, that's the plus.
03:03It looks like a weird piranha-teeth-merch-nom-nom-nom-nom.
03:09Now, what's the unfortunate side to the paint, you ask?
03:13Well, it can easily be scratched out.
03:16As you can see, there's a bunch of scratch marks on the blue paint.
03:19And that's from me just trying to dig my fingernail in there and trying to test out the paint.
03:25And it just chips right off.
03:27Also, look at that Autobot logo.
03:29It doesn't have its mouth.
03:31So, basically, that's an Autobot logo going...
03:36Now, of course, we've got to talk about Neutro, a.k.a. Ground Pounder.
03:40Yes, this figure is actually based on another character known as Neutro or Neutro or something like that.
03:48And I gotta say, this is kind of cool as a little mini Targetmaster.
03:54I kind of like the bulldozer look.
03:55I kind of like the claws on the front.
03:57And just overall, it looks nice.
03:59But what's the bulldozer doing with the spoiler in the back?
04:03It's gonna go for the races.
04:06Again, with these Targetmasters, they have easy transformations.
04:08You just flip them up and pull out the arms.
04:11In fact, you don't even have to do that.
04:13So, basically, what you do is...
04:17...that.
04:17And as you can see, he's got some nice detail in there.
04:21Pretty simple, but...
04:22I mean, it gets the job done.
04:24Like the original Targetmaster, he has wheels on the inside.
04:28Although these are fake, which I don't get why.
04:31I mean, they couldn't put tires in there anyways.
04:35It's fun!
04:36Now, even though he does transform into a weapon, it's kind of useless.
04:40I mean, it's a claw, but the retraction doesn't really work too well.
04:47And it kind of moves the arms, and...
04:49Yeah, I mean, it's cool and all. I'm not doubting it.
04:53There's a hole right on the top here, and you can indeed plug the little figure on top of that.
05:01Though, I don't know why the instructions show it like this.
05:07Yeah, that works.
05:10So, that's it for Tailgate. In result mode, let's go on to the robot mode.
05:25Yeah!

05:56What? For the Lava God? What?
06:02Nevermind.
06:03Look at this figure, it's beautiful even though he has very thin legs and I kind of feel like we
06:10need to repaint those as sideburn.
06:13Anyways, he does look pretty good with his bulky arms and just overall his design and everything looks absolutely amazing.
06:22What is very cool and intricate about this figure is even though you kind of have to pull this down
06:29to really get in there,
06:31and his head is part of that panel piece, he does indeed have head articulation.
06:39It's just a slight side to side as far as I know, but at least he's got it.
06:44With that said, you can get this guy into some pretty badass looking poses or even some ridiculous ones.
06:52And while it's a little difficult with the head tilt, this guy can definitely hold his weapon.
06:59And in case you're wondering, you can give him the norm of weapons with the 5mm ports.
07:04Or you can give Bumblebee, Ground Pounder.
07:09Look at him. He's farming.
07:12So while this guy is not perfect, especially when most of his car parts seem to collide with the, well,
07:19his car parts.
07:21This guy is actually pretty cool.
07:22I will say, he's actually quite a lot of fun.
07:26He's a little generic looking in alt mode and robot mode.
07:30But I gotta say, I can't wait for the wind charger repaint slash remold of this guy.
07:36Anyways, let's take a closer look at my overall review.
07:45So overall, do I highly recommend Tailgate with Ground Pounder?
07:49You know what? I'd say I would, I would absolutely recommend them.
07:53I, I think they're a fun little bunch.
07:55Look at them. Look at them. They're dancing.
07:58Anyways, I thank you guys for watching.
08:00I hope you guys enjoyed.
08:02And you might consider buying the same way.
08:05So I will see you guys next time.
08:07I'm looking at your review. I'm going to read some bacon.
08:09Bye.
08:18Bye.
08:20Bye you.
08:23Bye you.
