one of my favourite parts of the fandom passage of time is the very notion that Prime's toyline could achieve such a wholesome grail status, it is such a great reminder that something I looked at from a messageboards-and-twitter perspective was simultaneously someone else's childhood wish
so fun fact i actually wrote and recorded that joke later in the script for rodimus and then forgot i did that and edited it earlier. so as im listening to audio later in the clip i hear myself say EE RR
This was a great list, ironically I didn't even buy 15 transformers 😅. But most of the ones I did buy this year are not only great, but my favorite figures of my whole collection. But this isn't about me, it's about you. I'm glad you are now able to join us in collecting these wonderful characters, on their 40th anniversary no less. And though you're time on this platform has currently been brief, your contribution has and will continue to make it brighter. Happy New Year, and Till All Are One.
0:17 speaking of handsome devils which figure is that Rodimus Prime? is that one of MMC's? i love the IDW Rodimus Prime look (and Roddy in general) but man is it tough to get a figure of him. does he scale well with modern Generations or is he too big? (or if you plan to save details for when / if you review him, that's perfectly fine too. i'll look forward to that)
yeah, it’s r-27am calidus asterisk mode, the calidus mold with the lost light cover art deco from tfcon 2017(?) mmc reformatted is bigger than modern generations, think t30 brainstorm, but still smaller than mp
As a person who just got a copy (albeit, his original deco), I would say he scales decently, he is a bit taller than the average modern voyager because the Reformatted line was supposed to scale with the IDW offerings from T30 but I would say you would still enjoy the figure!
interesting, i didn’t know that! i was looking at a picture of springer next to their roadbuster and it seemed strangely accurate. seems like the voyagers and leaders mostly scale with reformatted, while the smaller stuff doesnt
Oh screw you got an optus pexus. Im on a tight budget, and finally cleared ths funds to grab hin the next payday.... And the colorway i wanted sol out 2 days bexore that. Same thing happened hasbros SG JETfire,and screamer. Tbh, screamer is on me. He aat rhere in my cart FOREVER and I'd always get something else, til i said "im tired of teasing this guy, im going right now and buying .... Sold out DAMMIT! Cant count how many ive lost that way, i waffle more than hasbro house at 230am saturday. 86 grimlock? Yup.. what, 4, 5 years later, still dont have him. Well, without lookin like a UV blacklight painted tony the tiger version anyway.
Loved the video but i have to admit, i cringe every time i hear the term CHUG, it's a minor slur against indigenous people in parts of Canada, and I'm low key on a mission to get people to stop using it. I'm not trying to be critical of you or anything, there's no reason you should have known, I'm just trying to bring a little attention to a term i feel the fandom should abandon. Happy new year, love what you do!
@@Girlandsilly it's a pretty obscure term honestly, but it refers to the stereotype of indigenous people being predisposed to alcoholism, most indigenous canadians I know find it harmful so I'm trying to bring awareness to the fandom
I'd love to have gotten that Grimlock mold, over the OH MY GOD yellow striped thing I was able to find. Thing is, when the 86 one was released, I had him in route TWICE and had to cancel him. Now I've got that yellow thing, but the original color Sludge, and SlAg, and had Snarl coming for like 75 a few weeks back, but felt guilty, since that could've been spent on gifts, and cancelled it too. Oh, I missed 86 Magnus too, but somehow screwed up and got TWO 86 Primes, go figure. Anyone need him, with a Magnus or Grimlock for trade?? I'd do it for emarcee's version, with maybe a voyager or solid deluxe thrown in to make up the difference. Need Gears, and Warpath.

Great video! I really need to track down optus mold but I really really hope I find the stormbringer version for retail price!

My solution to Cyclonus’s knees is to just extend him to full height and accept the chasm
the chasm consumes all
@ yes
lovely picks and presentation! really nice to see more people get into transformers recently. especially love to see the Thrilling 30 Jetfite love ^ ^
I love the inclusion of the g1 clips I love how ridiculous they can be especially w cyclones loved the vid
T30 Jetfire is absolutely goated and definitely on my "Must Buy" list this year.

2014 really was a banger year for TF
T30 Jetfire scales with MMC Figures because the Reformatted line was primarily designed to scale with T30 Springer

BTW, the screw you was meant playfully, not adversariately
make sure to look around bc i’m pretty sure there are listings for every deco if you look hard enough. also, i have 2 🙃

Banger list. 2024 for me has been incredibly light on the Transformers, but all of these were amazing choices
