“I don’t need another line of anything!” said like a true addict Bobby lol
I'm not going to any damn meetings though lol
Exactly.
@@botvscon 🤣🤣
I really need that magic square sixshot in mp scale.
Same here for both of us
Agree! we need more six shot/great shot. He’s one of the coolest characters in the transformers universe. Transformers Victory series is better than the original too IMO. (Ducking as g1 army throws chugs at me for saying that)
Lots of legends stuff this time round. Guess that saves me some money, lol.
That Blokees golden G1 toy style prime does look pretty good, though I wouldn't go out of my way to get it.
There was a lot of Legends things now that you mention it. I'm curious to see what gets shown off at TFCON LA that we haven't talked about already
I think MP4.0 Prime is welcome. I didn’t buy the official of their latest because the price was way too high, but I have a KO, and while it’s overly complex, it definitely captures a certain aesthetic quality that 3rd parties often miss. That being said, magic square’s prime is amazing and shows what can be done, I hope Takara take notes there and improve upon it even more for their release.
I don’t think 3D printing will ever really replace traditional collecting/buying. The textured look of the prints, the crappy plastic quality, the less than amazing designs on offer… the fact that it feels like a “home brew” - all of these factors are important, and maybe most of all, we collectors like to compete with each other and we are suckers for FOMO, I don’t think home 3D printing will ever be as exciting or stimulating for the collector community. People also enjoy the hunt and shopping for deals in person and online.
I also think the new 4.0 prime will be larger than CHUG.
I'm not a Prime collector, but I stayed away from MP44 due to the overly complex design (and price). I love my MS Magnus and hope that Takara is looking at that for inspiration.
I'm not talking about in the next decade, I'm looking at the long term. Just like many things, 3D printers will be more available and could even be a household essential in the future. And then there is the rumor that Hasbro may be shutting down all toy production.... Time will tell.
~The Con
I'm calling it now, I think the Hasbro Devy is going to be GOOD. Not spectacular, but a figure that:
• Doesn't cost hundreds (or thousands)
• Is easy and fast to transform
• Will be durable and easy to pose
• Won't be too large, and will scale with lots of existing figures
• Fun to handle and will be much more approachable as a toy than another other transformable Devastator figure
I think a lot of people will change their minds once they see it fully assembled and reviewed.
That can definitely be the case. If a collector is in for CHUG/SS, this will work for them. As someone who leans towards MP, this is much too small for the price and quality for myself.
~The Con
A lot of people gonna want it but I'm thinking they'll do like Menasor n have 1 figure that's impossible to find. Same with the Aerial bots. Wonder which ones it will be
@@botvscon I’m all about MP, too, but I like everything and appreciate the variety on offer and the pros/cons of each. I feel like almost everything has its own valid reason to exist. There’s not too much redundancy, if someone was rich I could understand them owning all the different options.
Those giant 3d printed figures are not MP scale they are Divorce Class 😂
That's what he calls them
@@maui_idw7644 i'd have to agree.
My kids love Transformer One.
That's great
“Sound of Science” makes me think Soundwave and Perceptor 🤔🤷🏻♂️
I think it's Blaster and Perceptor. There was a Platinum Edition Reissue called Intel Ops Set that came out several years ago
"Slides" or "Hoofs"....LMAO...both super accurate. 😅
Yeah, they are really weird!
That little Volcanicus is the best version I’ve seen so far. Now I want every one of these combiners! 😅
It's growing on me
Toydojo for the Red Drift
There is a chase version that is a variant of the red version. I think it is 1 out of 12
59:00 You've gone and done it, James. You broke Bobby, you've made him confessed his love for Blokee. Can't wait to see the day when Bobby just breaks down and amasses a cabinet full of all the Blokees. 😂
Hey hey! Stop that negative positive behavior over there.
That 3D printed version of the Constructions look so much better then what Hasbro designed. I wish we got something like that instead. I passed on their new Devastator because it's too similar to the Combiner Wars in my opinion
That would have had me pick it up if they liked like these
I still love the T-spark one better the articulation looks insane and that is what I am all about when it comes to Predaking.
You are correct, the T-Spark Predaking does look like the articulation is much better. I just hope it's a good price for the size!
~The Con
Sophia Myles played the antagonist to Selene in the first Underworld movie. She wanted to be the power behind the throne. I hope somebody at one of theses Cons, will tell Hasbro and push to get them to re-release Legacy G1 Breakdown for a lot of people never got him during his first release
I think it's been mentioned to them but I also know lots of things have been suggested to Hasbro but them acting on those suggestions are the concerns
@@botvscon it's like talking to a brick wall with them, I hope Hasbro gets it in their heads, people want Breakdown back on shelves. For it's Hasbro that screwed up the distribution during the first release. Time will tell. Thank you for the video.
19:40 even w/ the feet issues, looks better than SS86 Devastator 😂
It looks really good
Oh boy.... I don't have a preorder for big firebird jet. However, I do with Touch Toys for the new J16-N and the repaint J35-C carrier based version.
Yeah I may or may not have added to my preorders after recording
MegaCon is every year here in Orlando but I’ve never actually been. They usually have some cool Dragon Ball Z stuff but transformers isn’t something I would even expect to find much of there so I might have to go and check it out finally🤣
Let us know how it is in person
@ will do
The batteries for the dream star scrapper is LR521S.
I was told LR521H. Where did you see that information please? I'll have to order those now.
@ Sorry, it takes two AGO/LR521 really small batteries.
I have those and they wouldn't fit in mine
@@botvscon they are a tight squeeze, but I was able to get mine in.
I was able to get it done. Thanks because my order of the other batteries got canceled
3:38 she was Erika, Selene’s rival for Kraven’s affections in Underworld.
Yep that was her
31:40 Ruh Roh!!! Great news cycle as always, more to follow...TADA1!
Raggy???? Relp!!!
Somebody should be reopening their overly priced version.
DX-9 Ginrai having those baby toes makes his feet look soooo much better
I/we agree
If MPG scales down to chug size I'm completely OUT!!!!!!!!
Completely agree
I got myself down from 10 pre-order sheets to 8...need to get it to 7....
Oh that would be glorious if I could do that
59:36 I may get that head sculpt.
Sounds good
James: "You watched it!" Bobby: "I've seen a lot, and most I fell asleep during......"
Megacon Orlando is a huge con, pretty much dominates the entire Orange county convention center.
Thank goodness we're finally getting a Optimus Prime from Masterpiece Chug...... wait, Chug? Never mind.....😊
I'm definitely getting the MS Ultra Magnus (v3.0) and Six Shot, no doubt.
At 52:53, did James say "Wang en You"? 😱 What websites is he going to??? 😂
Great show as always gentlemen.
Movie's are Bobby's nap time.
I've never heard of it, I want to go now!
MPChug is a new generation of toys!
Let us know how SIxshot is!
You don't wanna know.
~The Con
Xtransbots devastator is the best,for me..
That is understandable. It looks good so far.
Please find that battery. I bought to find the Dreamstar battery but failed. Found multi pack sizes on-line but never tried yet. If you can tell us, you would show the world.
It is (2) LR521
I think the MS Sixshot is probably going to be the best in scale for legends. The nylon plastic is probably essential to completing all 6 modes at that scale. I can't see NA being able to pull that off easily with their more premium materials at that scale. I don't think a simple upscale will be possible to make it MP because of the materials being different. I think it would need to be at least a little more redesigned like their MP combaticons. I would like to get a MP version but I don't see it coming out soon because it will be engineered a bit differently to accomodate for the better plastic.
I am interested in the DX9 mini powermaster line but I will need to see pictures. Their mini-Chromedome did not impress me and none of the reviews I saw were especially glowing for it. I still haven't bothered to buy it so I am concerned these might be rather mid as well. Their powermaster prime looks pretty good and well as their highbrow so maybe they are improving.
Good points about their Chromedome. I haven't bought their legends figures so your input is very helpful especially as the Sixshot and Magnus seem interesting.
She was selene's best friend that betrayed her.
Yes that was it! Snitches get stiches!!!
I have Seige Astrotrain but I’ve never picked up any of that Soundwave mold so i’m gonna hold out and see what happens. if soundwave is the same mold, then I will still pick it up because it’ll be my first copy of that mold. Prefer to have the 86 to go w my collection of 86.
That makes sense
This was info from about a year ago, but Evan the other guys, said that Soundwave was supposed to be a completely new mold, but that might have changed.
That is what I understood, because they wanted Soundwave to stand face to face with Blaster.
@nathangerardy2669 oh good so I didn't dream that. Thanks for the validation. Lol
It's true that they said it but i think they alluded to the same sort of story with the 86 Springer and it was not that exciting of a "New" figure. I hope it is completely new.
Decided can't do botcon....was hoping one of you or Blu would be able to. LA and Toronto are the two I am doing this year 😢. My son may be going to Megacon for me on Saturday the 8th...
That sucks. I'm interested in going maybe next year
Brontosolid is a teenage sauropod 🦕 either brachiosaurus or apatosaurus it’s hard to tell. Def not a Titanasaur
Thank you for the reply! It would be really cool to have a TF team made of all the long necks!
~The Con
6 shot, they don't show his secret mode.
They're not Pokémon. You don't have to correct all of them
It's hard not to collect them all
i can not wait for that fans hobby wing saber. i have that thick prime waiting.
You will have to let us know how it is
If that is in MP scale F-YA! Magic Square is killing it! Plus they giving us the trailer for Prime, that's cool! Hope the UM is shorter than FM Margh I usually want taller everybody in MP. Also easy to transform to car carrier mode.
It's Legends scale as of now. Maybe they will do an MP later
Ss86 soundwave & asrotrain EASY PASS!!!! same with prime
I liked 86 Prime for a Hasbro release
Morning
Good morning!
The fact that Hasbro doesn't even want to make toys anymore I'm not really ready to give them the ability to name an entire line of bots.
Third party companies have masterpiece skill Transformers well in hand. As a community we should be asking the hard question should Hasbro continue to have the licensing and what does it mean for the collectors and what we collect!
The fact that anyone would think that MPG now is the standard for masterpiece is scary. Hasbro does not care about us just our money!
Respect your wallet and buy 3rd party!
You better stop preaching to the choir Pastor Beerus lol!
@botvscon I would love to come on you guys' show and talk about this stuff. It's ridiculous what they're trying to get us to do. And botcon is a blast
Where did you guys find the SD Beast Wars Megatron? Its not on ShowZ, I don't think.
It may not be up for preorder yet
Mpg raiden is a bad product. Not cause of looks, not cause of size, not cause of limited articulation as shown from dna . It can not hold itself. Even with the stand, parts are falling down. The kit seems good. Better than the 3d printed parts that already sold. I regret purchasing that combiner. When this mpg prime comes out and verify to us the size , will be more selective from takara to point will only get 3rd party if all are chug scale. Tbh of course, we almost have everything from season 1 and 2 apart from toon combiners, which is underway.
You left off price. The Moon Studio version was much cheaper as a complete set and addressed all the things you mentioned.
Mirage EASY PASS
We agree there
Bought SS Ultra Magnus last week n Siege Astrotrain a few days ago. Then we get the reissue of Magnus at retail price and talks of an SS Astrotrain. SMH😢
Keep your receipt
It is the web cams that you use. When I look at your face. its a little blurry. Its not your service that you use to make these vids. but the quality your web cams makes. Your service is not going to upscale your upload to 1080p. Everything else in your vid is clear except for you two.
You guys are awesome, And i really want you two... to be awesome. Ok, I like transformers, and i have subscribed to many content creators for Transformers. Because there are two talking and sharing opinions, really makes a difference. Understand that you two have something big going on here. growing your channel is the best thing, as i see, for Transformers. Because what you two do is so different than anyone else. And i love it. thank you for all your vids.
Thanks for the heads up! It actually wasn't the webcams, but how the editing software compressed the video. I should have it fixed on the next news. Let us know if it looks better!
~The Con
@@dustingallas2009agree I watch a lot of transformers content creators and bot vs con is in a class of its own of being a show where it feels like you’re sitting around talking about upcoming toys with friends. Always a great relaxed and fun vibe here
