Was it worth it too see a god awful design but a masterpiece of a figure finally have a review from jobby…….YES

0/10 not accurate at all, for it to be accurate they should let you break the toy to pieces and then the pieces recombine into the truck (just kidding obviously)

Jobby is one of the many toy review youtubers that is entertaining and funny when it comes to transformer figures

I personally think that critiques claiming Unique Toys figures just flip the robot mode inside out to transform is a really weak argument against the designs. Describing the transformations like this is a huge understatement. What makes UT figures so impressive is that the vehicle modes aren't just inverted, its that their "chunks," as Jobby describes, are engineered to rearrange themselves into humanoid shapes, no matter how non-humanoid they look. For example, Peru Kill uses the opposite sides of his Lambo mode's front and rear to make the robot chest portude outward, and the back curve like a spine would. If the figure just inverted, it'd be weirdly flat like the FT Stunticons are. It understates the amount of spatial awareness and geometric skill needed to structure a figure like this.

The design may not work for Galvatron, but is kinda neat as it's own thing. It doesn't feel like a Transformer due to zero car parts, which goes against the design philisophy of the first 3 films. The fact that Unique Toys got this to work so well is a God damn miracle. Hoping the eventual Studio Series figure turns out good too

How can people criticize this figure for an inside out transformation but praise evasion mode Optimus for doing the exact same thing?

I am genuinely impressed that they were able to make a transformation for a character who did not have an actual physical transformation in the film that he was in.

I normally hate when Megatron/Galvitron have alt modes that aren't guns or tanks, but being a giant truck to mirror Prime is honestly very neat

I think the thing that makes UT so impressive as a company is that they take the designs from AOE and TLK, which are some of the most BS and hardest designs to make toys of because of their lack of kibble, and make them somewhat cohesive.

Jobby is probably the most entertaining toy reviewer on KZread.

There's just something special watching Jobby transforming the most complex, masochistic figures. It's detailed, straight to the point, and clear. Not overly long like many tutorials, but lucid enough for anyone to follow along and enjoy. It's almost like an art form in itself.

Really would love to see Jobby continue his transformers movie marathon.

I love Jobby's humor, I love this figure, and better yet, I love that this figure can transform. The figure even comes with Agent Smith!

I feel like this figure is the perfect example of why inside out engineering is both mechanically impressive and sometimes necessary. Don't get me wrong, I love Transformers animated and the way that they designed both modes to use interesting shapes and contours that make the vehicle look cohesive and slick and the robot look stylized and humanoid with virtually no panels. That being said, a lot of transformers designs have details that aren't present in both modes, especially when the robot has distinct character notes and the vehicle is detailed and based on a real world design. In those cases you can either try to hide those out of place details under panels and shells that you then have to fold up and try to hide in robot mode, or you can use the empty, underutilized space on the opposite side of the panel. And its not like its a cheap solution, as something like AoE or tLK have such smooth, rounded armor, you can hardly call them panels any more, and you have to fit these pieces together on the inside of the vehicle so they don't bang into each other. It takes some clever engineering to make something so dense, properly scaled and detailed, and fully posable.

Supposedly within the film, since megatron was the one creating his new body he made that hole in his chest specifically to deal with optimus prime's energon swords. It makes sense but I wouldve preferred a different method to destroy them tbh
