I also did and it took me a while to figure out they took pictures of 2 figures each. I pondered if they took a picture of bot mode then alt mode and spliced them together LOL

This was my ORIGINAL desire when I got back into collecting. I'll finish the original paper. Just season one. Then, maybe the second paper. Season two. It just snowballed from there. Now I'm doing powermasters and Japanese continuity characters 😅.

Absolutely great video and really helps out. I took notes and can’t wait till the next video.

I love this channel because I learn something every time I watch.

In 2017 had an opportunity to get F.T Spotter for $115.00 I passed. Till this day I regret not getting the set So i settled for the Make Toys set

That 25 minutes zoomed by! Really enjoyed that, looking forward to the '85 video.

For someone on a budget the Takara KO's are a good choice for most of the 1984 figures. For Jazz Tr-01 Agent meister and from Transform element TE-01 Optimus prime and TE-03 mirage. For the seekers the Eagle EG-01x versions. Sadly, the mini bots is where it can get expensive.

The negative for TE-01 is that it’s not fully painted like MP-44 & MS EX version. It’s still a great figure & I don’t think transformation is that difficult. There’s a lot of steps tho.

SO true and the genesis of the franchise should always be remembered

Totally misread the title as collecting original 1984 Transformers as I just bought a brand new Megatron, which wasn't cheap. As for a Masterpiece Megatron, MP-36 is still the best but, if Magic Square does eventually upscale their Megatron, it'll be the best as their take on him is pretty freaking awesome.

I think it was an excellent list.

When I started my collection back in 2019, I never intended on getting all of the seekers. However, when DS came out with their Starscream, I immediately jumped onto the pre-orders for TC and SW as soon as they became available. Im still waiting on someone to do as good of a job as DS did with these for the coneheads. Again I don't intend to get them, but if they are as well made and present as well as DS's then I just might jump on them as well.

@tydiriumhanger1320

2 ай бұрын

Seems odd that DS did not make the coneheads yet but the fact that Takara did not was a telltale sign Something was changing at Takara and now with the MP change it may make more sense

I love the list! Third party is def a better choice than most takara figures in my opinion

Got news for you Mike the windcharger toon is not available anywhere!!! Great video to make now as we may see the last of masterpiece. That means either everyone gonna drop mp scale or third party will get to a new final chapter where will just fill the rest of the gaps themselves untill Chinese shops got some stock of latest models and that's it.. According to leaks ginrai will not be in proper size to mp. And last time with Raiden leaks where correct even for the height of Raiden before we even get the second bot of it. Amazon JP box size indicate will be the size of trailbreaker not prime. But y of course all of these are unconfirmed

That will have to be a Fantastic Model sub name or something but surprised it has not been announced

If Takara made it then that's what I've got. I do have MMC for Soundwave's tapes and even bought the Laserbeak and Buzzsaw set despite the size being a bit large. The rest of the Decepticons are all Takara. I got TE for Mirage and MakeToys for Jazz. Brawn Huffer and Gears are all BadCube and I like my dirt cheap BadCubes. I bought them all used and cheap after the FansToys came out. XTB for Windcharger and Cliffjumper and I still have MP-21 Bee being he scales better next to XTB Cliffjumper. No FansToys. I'm cheap and I'm content with what I've got. I also have KFC for Reflector. Price matters. Fine with $150 to my door. Wasn't feeling $500 for a used Spotter.

That gun for the DX9 Prowl looks awful for a MP type figure, it looks more waffled up than a Hasbro mainline figure's gun. As for them KOs...ohhh, I was all in for that once I started gettin' them. Worst luck I've had was Prowl (incorrectly assembled door eventually snapped off) and Starscream (tolerances were abysmal, quite a few parts are stressed badly or cracked; a panel that fills out his left side in robot mode looks like it could break if you look at it funny). Yeah, it's weird, Hoist, Inferno, Grapple, & Smokescreen were season 2 peeps (1985). That being said, definitely lookin' forward to your takes on the 1985 & 86 brochures!! (Too bad options for 87 and beyond are sorely limited...)

I bet Takara watches FT and others release better versions of their old figures and it makes them question investment in other projects

MP 36+ is modeled after the original megatron,how is that NOT on this list?

I have the KO of RP-01 and i will say its good not great and to fix alot of things on it like loose waist bad wrists and lazer beak didn't fit on the pegs that soundwave has to mount him. Also the KO RP-01 has really soft knee ratchets which i hate but for like 60$ when i got it its great

Got a feeling that this post isn't going to be the most optimistic in the world, but to me it doesn't matter what you put in your collection as long as you're happy with what you have. This is just me, but I'm starting to feel that men today are getting more and more feminine and quicker to judge or negate about someone else's life. Down to what a person collects and enjoys. I'm in the camp that everything SHOULD NOT be as cartoon accurate as it possibly be. It would be cool if they gave you the option to go that way if you wanted to, but I also firmly believe that the cartoon was what nailed the G1 line. What makes me believe that the FT Soundwave is the best Soundwave out there right now is it's built where you can convert it to look like the cartoon model or something that looks more like the toy. The only thing I can think of that they could have done to improve it further is making the glass in his chest removable where you could put a piece in that looks more like the toy. Which I think has a better look to it. MP collecting should be a mixture of toon & toy/comic options. When you've only got a choice of 1 option, & that is it... that's when you nail a franchise. I personally don't need a new Sideswipe or Nissan brothers. I'm happy with what I have. I don't need to go out and keep buying stuff if I'm happy with what I got. If it isn't up to par, I either fix up or mod it. I'm surprised at how many people either don't know how or too scared to. Some cases a new release is better than an new 1, but sometimes newer isn't better. I still think the older version of Bumblebee is better than the 2nd 1. I honestly think that they were going to reuse that mold to make a Gold Bug. Once you tweak it,new head,new limbs, it becomes a much better figure. I honestly think that is where they got the Netflix Bumblebee from. Which would make a nice MP Bumblebee if upscaled in my opinion. But that's my opinion...

Trying to leave posts, but it's been tough when mom is chatting in my ear... I was just thinking about the cargo barge that rammed into the Baltimore bridge. There's talk that there's footage now of inside 1 the bridge of a Ukrainian national PURPOSELY steering the ship into the middle pillar of the bridge 2 minutes prior impact, & someone setting flash grenades so no one could stop the ship. If true, why would Ukraine attack us like that? I know that there was military grade weapons on there... unless that's the reason. I was just thinking with all the craziness in the world, there's more important things happening in the world than what someone's collecting. Just enjoy what you have.
