You could also include: - Bandai egg beasts (skeleton dinosaurs, Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, etc). - Ghostbusters transforming figures (Toilet, scooter, etc turn into ghost monsters). - Heman rocklord things (can't remember the name). - Matchbox cars that turned into alien robot things (you opened the cars and pulled out the compressed "robot" and transformed it, etc. - Some other Hotwheels-sized cars that turned into robots/animals (can't remember the names). - Gobots, Rocklords (and all the other tf robot toys that came out in parallel to TFs). - Werebears (cuddly teddybears that turned into monster bears by turning their faces and paws inside-out). - TMNT transforming action figures (Leonardo turned into a fire engine, I think?) - Dinosaurez (or something like that) by Bandai. Metallic dinosaur and prehistoric mammal fossils turned into robots. The main bad guy was called something like "Gigano Dragon" and turned into a silver oriental dragon. - Happy Meal transformers (the ones that turned from food and drink into robots) - The precursors to the infamous "Botbots".

The matchbox cars are called Parasites, The hot wheels may be either Robo Wheels or Attack Pack.

Since you mentioned Bandai, a lot of gunpla have transforming features despite being model kits and not toys per se. It’s impressive how well they work since it’s all plastic on plastic. No screws or hinges to hold anything place. No glue either. Granted they don’t always look the best (looking at the HG Wing Zero). The MG Zeta Gundam Ver. Ka is a technological marvel.

My car can become a dinosaur! Suck it traffic jams!!

The digivolving toys were my favorite toys as a kid. Season 2's toys were lacking to me but I loved season 1 and 3's toys. The digivolving playsets were cool too (evolved from one form to another, but also opened up to reveal a whole diorama inside of them with minifigs). I had all 3 of the season 3 digivolving playsets. I loved the digivolving toys so much that I ended up getting every single one of the rebooted Digivolving Spirits figures, even the blackwargreymon recolor lol. It's an absolute Travesty that they cancelled the new digivolving spirits line though. They had Gomamon>Zudomon, Palmon>Lillymon, Biyomon>Garudamon, Guilmon>Dukemon, and Impmon>Beelzemon figures in the works, but all were cancelled. They even showed prototypes of both Biyomon and Guilmon at toy shows, they looked so good, but never released. Hope to god they revive the line one day.

As someone who's gotten a lot of the beastbox cubes, complete recommendation there. They're a little pricy for the size, but they make up for it with quality engineering and plastic. They're pretty dense and well made. The four monkey combiner is pretty baller. Also recommend the japanese crane, the ankylosaurus, archeopteryx, crab, and angler fish. The dogs are good, just a little complicated.

You missed the TMNT mutator toys that transformed from normal version to mutated version.

Love this video, but i have a small improvement idea: if you dont want to animate your character thingy, you could wiggle it around (A bit like the Shorts Creator "RoyalPear"). But thank you very much, please keep doing what you do❤

I've had an ear from one of those Gargomon toys in my unsorted bin of legos and i've wondered what it was for almost 20 years... I completely forgot about it until now lol

Holy shit. I HAD a Neo Shifter growing up. The Turbofly Shifter, apparently. I had no idea what it was, or anything, since I got it as a gift without seeing any commercials, but coming off of Metroid Prime and Sonic for the first time or two, I was in love with things that turned into balls. I wish I still had it somewhere.

Sometime in the 2000s, Bandai released a Zaku II figure that transformed into a Magellan Tank. Dunno if the line went beyond that, but it's neat to see something from Gundam that isn't supposed to be a transformer at all turn into something that is completely unrelated, and have both modes end up looking good. 2Old4Toys made a video on it like 15 years ago, and that's the only reason I know of it's existence.

If you ever make a follow up video, one interesting line was ionix, a line of toys by spinmaster from the mid 2010s. They were different animals and humanoids/robots that transformed into lego bricks. There were some pokemon and how to train your dragon ones and an original ip called tenkai knights

Congrats on the success of this video! You explain things really well, and deserve the views.

1:29 holy sh*t I´ve had this memory of a weird robot toy that I couldn´t pinpoint for years and it´s this thing, I´m subbing just for your help with that it felt refreshing to finally figure that one out

I had the Animorphs T-Rex growing up. I kept it in dinosaur mode a lot of the time because the three human figures were just plain strange to look at. One was a regular dude who had these two huge dinosaur legs for arms and a blocky battery pack for a torso and the other two had heads and body chunks for arms or legs. Very weird but definitely my vibe.

I think this video does well to highlight how difficult engineering a transforming toy can be. Especially if one mode is an animal.

neo shifters, does sound interesting as a video subject, as well as a type of robotic toy that turns into a car or something like a tank.

I rewatched the OG digimon series when it was on Netflix a couple years back. It’s not just nostalgia, that first season (50something episodes!!!) really holds up. Puppetmon still scares me.

And there's also the classic bakugan, which has been around for quite a while now, and a mix between yugioh and transformers.

I used to have a bunch of vending machine toys that were little (like maybe an inch or two tall) insect-to-robot transformers and they were my favorite for a good while. Granted, they were more partsformers than anything else, but still, insect transformers have always been a favorite and not enough of them exist.

You can go back even farther! When I was little I had a bunch of transforming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys that were clearly piggybacking off of Transformers' success.

For the record, the Mega Morphs had their own comic. Each figure came with a mini-comic that was a chapter in the story, though later on they released a graphic novel or compilation of all of them. I got a copy off eBay. Also, while Shapeshifters was full of Spiderman characters, there were several from the X-Men stories and a few from the Avengers as well.

I used to have a collection of the Neo-Shifters character bios; unfortunately the drive I saved them on went kaput, and with the shutdown of the Neo-Shifters site I never got to replace them.

If you ever get into 2000s MegaBloks stuff, definitely check out their early Dragons stuff. It was a terrible Lego parallel because it didn't have much rebuildability, but the pieces themselves were so cool. Lots of detailed structures, and the minifigs and big dragons incorporated metal/magnets in them for interactions

Probably my favourite non transformer transformer (along with my random dollar store insect ones) has gotta be my ninja turtle transformer from the 90's. I think they were called Mutations, and the one I have goes from a Porsche to an action figure. His head goes visibly inside the car for car mode, and honestly I feel it still holds up today.

I remember these redbull toys/models which transforms from redbull cans to vehicles(the tall european can turns into a plane, and the stubby thai/chinese can turns into mini coopers)

I have a Lopmon that transforms into Cherubimon, and the Lopmon form looks cute enough that I still display it in my room. Weirdly enough, I watched a ton of Digimon back in the day, but my brain retained next to none of it.

I remember a long time ago getting some of the form-changing robot McDonald's toys, I had the Big Mac and the fries. Those Jurassic Park egg dinos reminded me of the Rock Lords, a GoBots spin-off whose animated movie was released around the same time as The Transformers The Movie in the 80s. Robots that turned into rocks. Just what kids want, the ability to play with rocks. And parents have to buy expensive rocks.

As a Jurassic world fan myself, I do not really like the overly cartoony transforming dinosaurs.

I think multiple toys that transform into essentially the same thing but in radical different ways for one form, like with beastbox, is an interesting idea. Takara does something vaguely similar with the shinkalion toys since they're all bullet trains iirc but they're a lot more similar to eachother than they could be. The toys for super sentai series Zyuohger also flirted with the box mode thing in a more simple fashion as well.

Beastdrive sounds like a more complex version of Switch and Go Dinos. Honestly sounds really cool

I got the big TRex that turns into a Jeep, and love it in both modes. The Jeep is probably more like a Mini Cooper in terms of proportions, while I just love the TRex mode.
