That is crazy expensive. It would be such a hard pass at that price.
20:45 Same James. It's like when I'd go over my friends house and they'd have a Ford poster on their wall. Not a car poster, but just a Ford logo. I'm the type to remove logos from my stuff, like on my car, took off the dealership logo cause I'm not being paid to advertise for you. 54:08 1005 agree Booby, and I love the Cang Toys love, they are currently the only company I am excited about. Would love an Abominus from them as I swear at least designer is from TFC, look at Divebomb and the Cutthroat and tell me they don't look alike.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I've never been one for 100% brand loyalty unless it's someone I know personally. I want a Cang toys Abominus so bad! I agree that it looks a bit like TFC, but iirc, the Predaking toys were originally going to be unique toys... so who knows 🤷🏻♂️ ~The Con

My cheapest Titan was the Cybertron Universe Metroplex for £79, so about $100. The Guardian was about that at one point too. Also Bobby, you’re killing me, it’s LEGO not LEGO’s! 😝

Dang thanks for calling me out lol.
13:16 that jazz looks great, if they also do it as 1/24 scale, and not just a 1/32 scale, then even better. The prime mold was done in both the 1/24 scale and 1/32. Jada did also do some gi joe vehicles in 1/32 scale but since 1/24 scale is the same as M.A.S.K., MP01, MPP10, MMP10, and binaltech/alternators, that's the more desired scale in my eyes.

You had me at M.A.S.K. I don't want to get into picking these up because I really don't have places to put them. Maybe in my office.
Nice updates! I am definitely going to pick up that Hot Wheels Prime. I would love it if they made a Hot Wheels Motormaster too! I would be perfectly happy if it was just a repaint of their Prime. The pictures of that 4-foot Metroplex are amazing, I’m going to die of old age before it is released though…

Hey BvC! A lot of great figures to look forward to this news cycle! Titan Timestamps incoming: *NEWS* 1:50 These days I think movies and TV shows can have rap dates as soon as days before the actual release since everything is digital. Marketing can happen at the same time as production... 2:50 Wow! I grew up loving DangerMouse, I would love to check out a modern version of him (as long as he still has the eyepatch lol...) 3:25 Okay for context, in the military my job was managing large-scale logistics and afterwards I started a marketing consultancy. That said, the specific path and amount of up-front cash you'd have to spend to efficiently collect all of these pins is borderline diabolical: 3 registrations, 2 vendor purchases, a raffle, a survey, and a booth visit to a non-transforming company, all within the first 170 to follow this path. Or you can purchase three of these for $25. I think I'll stick to TFCon pins lol.. *JUST ANNOUNCED* 9:30 I met this composer Jongnic Bontemps at TFCon LA, he was there with Alfonso Nation if you've seen his channel before. Very cool and talented guy who took alot of inspiration from Vince DiCola's original TTF music. Not for my collection but glad to see TF music getting some attention... 16:04 I happened to go to my local GameStop the other day and they had no TF at all. I asked the guy at the counter and he told me they only get sales or seasonal stock of TF and weren't expecting any until later in the year so who is this promotion really for? I'd like that cover but if there are no figures to buy in-store, then what? Bobby can you get me one??? 17:30 O-M-FREAKING-G! Bobby you took the words out of my mouth, these are freaking ADORABLE! Instant buy, I'm sold and I'm now starting a Chibi/SD Combiner shelf (foreshadowing lol...) Cang Toys is really knocking it out the park this year! *UPDATES* 22:10 I only dabble in movie figures but I do collect MP military vehicles and I've heard nothing but great things about this, I'm hoping Target puts him on sale like the MP Bonecrusher they just had last season and I may get this one... 27:37 So I got in on the preorder of this since at the time I had no other Titans but may be willing to cancel and wait for a sale like you guys mentioned here. To answer the pricing question, I got Cybertron Metroplex on sale from Amazon for $119 and I think he's still around that price, maybe $129 at the most. The last Titan to go to Ross I believe was the Ark which popped up some places around Xmas for $65, but they were two-per-case and went quickly (I missed them). Around the same time you could get a Black Zarak for as low as $109 at Best Buy and GameStop. All of those Titans mentioned are larger than this figure btw. Either way I now feel like $200 is too much even though I really am anticipating adding this to my collection... 29:15 Okay so growing up the only two base modes I ever had were Powermaster OP's trailer and Countdown, both of which kinda looked like this Tidal Wave "city mode" lol. I did used to like it as a kid but I also had Micro Masters worth playing with (and I was also like 7). That's not a base mode, he's just taking a nap on his stomach lol... 32:35 Steeljaw's tail and wings do parts-form, that's the port that swaps with the speaker accessory... 34:20 Offensive. Terrible. Hard pass... 36:14 I think this looks really good and can't wait to see it painted. I'm in for the right price (sub $100 shipped, I agree with Bobby). The sculpting on his chest looks wicked, like a samurai Oni mask... 38:40 YES YES YES this is going next to the SD Chibi Thunderking team (foreshadowing complete)! I love these faces too since my kids and I are into anime, it's kind of a cool aesthetic crossover. Totally in on these... 40:29 I did preorder this to go with the Star Saber Team, and the clip-on shield accessory looks pretty good. It's also confirmed 5mm port compatible so I think it's a good buy for most collectors... 44:25 I actually missed the MS OP and was waiting for a re-release so I guess I'm in on this too lol... *INCOMING* 51:54 I think I would like this better if it wasn't Deathsaurus since I hear a lot of good things about MMC engineering, It could have easily been Overlord and I would have been sold. Maybe I'll get this on sale as a large-scale custom project... *RECENTLY RELEASED* 54:36 I actually just got the Hasbro version of Leadfoot for my Wreckers the other day and it's a good enough representation since it came from a capsule line with good paint apps. I would have to see other legends scale Wreckers I like before getting this one... 56:05 I have to believe ModFans is coming out with a FortMax of their own soon that scales better and the adaptor for the TR is just a bonus to hold us over. That slider for the face reveal seems to give everyone a bit of trouble as well as the paint chipping. If I get this I would probably add a coat of clear lacquer before even messing with it but I haven't decided on this yet... Thanks again for the updates guys! TADA1!

I hope that actually watching the movie is part of the post production for Robots the not funny sequel, I mean Transformers One....... Bobby read my mind on that Bumblebee kids meal....lol I'm positive Hasbro is producing those..... I think the Blokees have a line that have LEDs in the chest, but I think either looks good. Don't know about the Jazz, but Jada 1/32 are typically around $10. 27:42 Well at least Hasbro makes their packaging just as waffle-y as their bots......... Mudflap from the Bayverse is what Hollywood thinks of TF fans........ Great show as always.

I'd pick up Tidal Wave for around $100. I think they made the box the size they did to trick people into thinking they're getting more. Kind of like a bag of chips. Bayverse bots have never looked good to me. They look like walking piles of scrap, like random parts clumped together. What has been y'alls experience with Toyhax? I picked up the Siege Rainmakers for a good price and want to get some sticker sets to make them look not so plain.

You don't understand Bobby, that the shirt/button up is hideous is the reason to get it. 😉. Not for 70$ though, I live in the Netherlands and with shipping and import it would probably be closer to 100. For 30 I would have picked it up if they have it in my fat ass size...

To be fair, this thing is easily going to cost us over a grand and up. I am cool with them taking as much time as they need to fully develop it and make it as good and sturdy as it can be before they put it into production. I cannot imagine the outcry if we were to pay 2 grand or whatever with shipping and it comes with QC or substandard design issues.
@botvscon
Ай бұрын
I agree with you. It just seems like they were hyping us up that it was going to be released really soon over a year ago and that it was going to be produced in a factory instead of 3D printed which would have brought the cost down. Either way, I'm not saving money for it because it is like waiting for FT Fort Max right now.
