SWWWW-eet video man, we know that a good old jobbzilla review is going to happen ua-cam.com/video/5wPgvks1CmI/v-deo.html, like him spending a lot money.
RIP jobby's bank

This is what I love about these types of figures. They're not as complicated and fragile as the masterpiece figures, yet capture the spirit and charm of the original toy while updating a lot of the flaws of it.
Seeing this just makes me wanna play the BW: Transmetal game for the PS1
Get a decent emulator and the rom?
I think it says something about the engineering on the original Transmetal Optimus that the transformation sequence is almost identical except for the knees.
Hope this company will do Transmetal Megatron.
As well as the other Transmetals. Cheetor and Rattrap plus Terrorsaur and Waspinator have great Transmetal forms
I think there is a trans metal Megatron I saw it on Ali express a few weeks ago
@@EstePensativo Yeah, but it's too tiny, it's scout class size.
COMBOY oh is it smaller than the original?
@@EstePensativo Yup, and it also sucks. Here's a review: youtube dot com / pNfOOed1ISU
This look beyond amazing, I swear this is nostalgia at it's finest. It looks so much like the original 90's toy but greatly improved.
"Skateboard Gorilla."
Lol. They really went and did it. Megatron should just be Rollerskate T-Rex, and of course Rattrap can be Four-Wheel-Rat.
edit - Motorcycle-Tarantula anyone???
I like it because it doesn't force a new name onto the character because it's just a blunt description. Like I don't wanna look at TLK Megatron and think Rendsaurer
Not that Trans munky doesn't have enough nicknames already lol
Big Bot
Boss Monkey
Big Banana
Scrape Ape
etc...
Rattraps copyrighted most of those anyway.
Oh and bring on Sky Kitty and Russian Spy
I think you meant RAT ROD
Ben and the delusional brigade would all buy them all, too. So why not?
Rattrap is literally a "ratrod"
@@thomasjames8009 Or my personal favourite: "Peru Kill."
I accept that I don't understand the name or its origin (which I could easily Google) but what a name for a figure that they could have named "Bounty Hunter" or something.
I mean if these guys are out here using Skateboard Gorilla then what's UT's excuse.
It’s not fair that you call this just an oversize of the original. The original gorilla head wasn’t able to be turned. It was stationary facing forward... just one of the many differences. This new TransArt has nothing in common with the original everything is designed as their own
SummitBalt08 yeah I think your right it’s just both are so close to the show that all the added articulation makes this truly unique
7:27
MY GOD, that like up is slaggin' beautiful!
You Sir are Bob Ross of action figure.
I really hope they tackle the rest of the transmetals starting with megatron.
I always liked this version even though it was short lived. I don't have a beast wars collection but this is magnificent.
ShokyReviews he got replaced so fast in the show
All the Takara Tomy Beast Wars Masterpieces have been amazing so far. Got all 5 so far, with Masterpiece Tigatron cominvnput this year. I hope Takara Tomy do Transmetals aswell.
@@BensKOllectables not really. He was there for almost all of season 2. In terms of episode count, that's only two less epsiodes than the Optimal Optimus one, and I'd say he's utilised far more
just watched beastwars again after seeing this and must say it's acurate as possible as a toy can. looks very nice! thanks for the review
I really hope someone does a Transmetal 2 Dinobot
That design deserves a new toy
I just ordered this from ShowZStore. I still have my original , in fact I have a lot of the figures still. This is my absolute favorite Optimus Primal, out of Optimal Optimus and the Convoy (Beast Wars) (2014) as I got rid of my original.
Fingers crossed for TransArt version of Transmetal Megs.
They are now making Trans-Metal 1 Megatron. SO EXCITED after seeing this. Yesssss
Well that's just prime
Oh man! We're all going to be remolded!
This puts a smile on my face.
I was never fond of this form of Primal, none the less, great looking figure!
I never liked any of the trans metal transformers designs but as a figure it looks interesting
BEN: Hey, have you seen a 10-foot high, skateboarding gorilla around?
TONY HAWK: Say what???
SHINY AND CHROME! You know, as simple as his transformation is, compared to his first form, it's very effective in changing up the silhouette.
I had no knowledge of this figure! Thank you Ben for bringing this to my attention! This made my day! So glad I'm a subscriber!
Damn. I hope we get a Transmetal2 Tarantulas
Ultima Thule oh that would be ace
There is no such thing as tm2 tarantulas. Do you mean transmetal tarantulas?
Love this version of Primal the most. Too bad diecast metal is a lost art!!!
You mean "diecast construction", and I suppose it's accurate to NOT include it in any Beast Wars figures...
@@primalconvoy Indeed diecast construction I stand corrected. Believe it or not when they introduced this Transmetal line, I thought thats where they were going with it; since diecast was a running joke in the TV series. I love die cast it should come back or at least some other metal as long as it is metal. Lol
@@mogunloye
Nice. I only heard that one joke about diecast in that one episode, though.
The spikey part of the maces remind me of underwater landmines.
It's just so beautiful
Trans art are a new company and this is their second mp scale figure, they’re 3rd party not ko.
I got the original, and looking at this man did they make improvements to the mold. The second I saw it I had to order him.
Oh. And in answer to your question about buying a figure multiple times because you wanted to display him in multiple modes, I did it with Punch/Counterpunch. I loved the bot modes so much I couldn't decide ehich one to go with, so I got two.
And I would really like to see these guys do the Rhinox mold from the Thrilling 30. I bet they could really make it shine.
Rock Light,
Just want to point out how amazing the original toy is! They ALMOST look the same.. However, this one is clearly a great update! I love him!
T
I no longer have the maces and the gun but I still have my Transmetal Optimus Primal and I love it after more than 20 years.
I can send you the Metals VS Megatron & Optimus for review if you want Ben? Will want them back like but it would be good to see the content.
Not sure this is really a KO looking at all the engineering, it could just be that Mainframe did such a good job adaptting the toy into a show model that by going for the MP look this figure can't help but look close to the original. I reckon a TM Cheetor would end up the same.
Captain Modesty you could be right bud
At first glance it looked the same. But comparing it to my original Transmetal Optimus from the 90s, this is a massive improvement actually.
This is insanely epic I used to have the trans metal optimus prime when I was 12 but this is way better 🤩
Another excelent figure to the collection. 👍✨🤖🦍✨
Is there anything more 90's than a giant metallic hoverboarding gorilla robot?
This guy isn't a KO Ben, he's all new.
It's actually a bootleg. A extremelly well done bootleg in fact.
@@juanmarobles9053
Yes, it looks like an OSKO, with improvements made.
i honstly thought this was just some addon for the original transmetal optimus figure lol. im also interested in how it transforms pretty much like that figure as well
Ben, finally a video where you polished the monkey. Almost makes up for no TFN :( (p.s. Great vid:)
Stuart McIver lol 😂
Looks like a blue version of Siege Jetfire’s effects parts. NOICE
Funny how i got a Gorilla Glue ad while watching the video lol
The vehicle modes of the trans metals transformers was always odd.. but giving optimus a hoverboard was interesting lol
7:26 Optimus Optimal Masterpiece? How did I miss that? That's not PerfectEffect Optimal? I need that!
I wasn't interested at first now seeing it makes me i want to buy it
Great review. However, I think i would have liked a bit more size comparisons
Hey great video once again! Just got mine and all his brownish parts seem to be translucent. Did they release 2 versions?? 😳
Because the hover board mode is more accurate to the show, I'd display him that way.
Its not really an oversized KO (which i felt like you were kind of implying) its preemuch all new sculpt. But since they both match the cartoon so well it easy to see how you were confused. But yeah lots of differences to the old toy. Much closer to the cartoon
I think it draws a lot from the original and yeah I guess as they were both so close to the show I may have been mistaken
It seems both bigger than the original and a copy of it too.
So this is basically an upscaled version of the original figure, just with ratchets and sturdier materials? The transformation is basically identical.
Save the beard! Its almost winter!
I still have the original. I also have the transmetel Megatron and rinox
This company should make the Transmetal Copper Megarton
I want it so bad! 😭❤ it's so accurate! It's alright it's not masterpiece cos it looks like a masterpiece. Looking forward to Megatron. Hope we get a TM2 Blackarachnia. Not seen any new images of JX Tigahawk yet but hope there's something soon.
So much awesomeness!!!
I screamed as soon as I saw the thumbnail new
you forgot to do palm in your face😳😎✌👍🤣
Well, that's just prime
Beast wars is great
Looking forward to getting mine.
This figure making me not hate transmetals.
wish they would make rattrap transmetal too!!
I hope they make all the Beast Wars characters as Masterpieces and I hope they bring back their Transmetal and fuzors as well
It's shocking how close it is to the original toy, just enhanced
“Always polish your monkey”
I hope Emgo316 will have this new toy.
Polishing the monkey!
Who else hopes to see a pink repaint like the rare original variant?
Damn I need this
Hate the Masterpiece scale. Always have.
Would definitely get this if it were closer to the mainline in size
I really want to see a transparent purple version like Takara's release
Apelinq repaint when?
Good thing I didn't sell off all my g1-BeastWars toys. Still got my Transmetal 1 Optimus Primal and I do have the Masterpiece MP-32 Optimus Primal.
P.S. New Transformers toys are always going to keep on coming for more, and you CAN'T keep up with it with your money.
What’s that giant red figure with the dragon arm
Looking forward to it arriving
What batteries are needed for the blaster?
I'm not sure it's worth the 100 dollars advertised at Show-Z though, when you can get a HUGE OSKO BB Optimus Prime for around the same price or less...
in robot mode, optimus's hand should have fur texture opposite gorilla hand had techno texture
Always gonna support trans artists
This thing looks:OVERPRICED. At least they painted the teeth, though.
Getting the injection molding dies is a big business cost. Plastic is cheap, but actual Dies to press the plastic can bankrupt you. My neighbor spent 40K on injection molding dies for boardgame figurines for his Kickstarter.
Wait, he can’t do the shoulder turret mode?
Would you ever think about selling this? Looking for this version
I dont think this is KO. Because the original toys already screen accurate not much different on looks. The head has neck and can turn. The head, chest, arms transformation totally different
Hey Ben, I was wondering if you’d like to borrow my copy of trans arts optimal optimus for review? I figure you might like to compare him to his previous form and show off his added poseability!
An ab crunch is too much to ask these companies for, huh?
Does the phrase a fool and his money are soon parted mean anything to you?
Still have my Original, but all the metalic paint starte to peel out :(.
Wow, he looks really good for a 3rd party "Masterpiece." If there is one thing I have to complain about is how saturated the orange looks on his robot mode face.
It's not that different from the the original Hasbro figure. I wasn't planning on getting this. But I think I changed my mind
$100 ain’t bad
I’ve got the Knock off Optimus Primal
I remember when I first saw his transmetal form when I was a kid i wasn't very excited and thought he looked pretty bad.
Do you have a playlist that is for beast wars KO?
Armando Toossi no bud I’ll make one
BensKOllectables thank you! That would be awesome
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease I need Transmetal 1 Megatron
UmbralMachine they are working on it ,... I asked the same
Mi Primal favorito! Se ve genial.
where did the name come from?
his feet come together to make him have this flying skateboard mode
Too pricey! If I was going to pay that much I'd want a vastly updated style, like perfect effect's Leonidas. Like the scale though!
The irony of this company making a mostly original TM1 Optimus is that one of their few other releases was a scaled down TM2 Optimus that was absolute garbage. Their Transmutate was pretty solid, though.
yeaa, their optimal optimus was thrash. but i do hope they do some improvements to that piece, and scale it up to MP size to match JiangXing's Megs.
Yeah we don’t talk about that figure 😂 I actually have transmute coming as well can’t wait for that
@@BensKOllectables I think you'll really love it. All I can say otherwise is that it's BIG. However big you probably imagine it will be, even having seen comparison shots, it'll likely seem bigger once you have it in hand! I had to go back and check the "unofficial" scale charts, and it's actually scaled pretty much correctly compared to all the S1 MP BW releases so far.
I thought this was legends scale
What brand is that rotating pedestal? I like its simplicity.
😯😯😯😯
