The studio series dinobots have surprised me with how creatively original they have been with the transformations. They do a decent job of looking the part and are still fun to transform.
For me it’s XTB magnus being impressively INCREDIBLE and XTB Springer, DS blaster & Mirage and Fanstoys Sixshot. Oh yeah also see the XTB shining magnus “repaint”!?
That Blitzwing looks amazingly good. I'm really looking forward to it arriving. It's surprising how toon accurate each mode is. I've read that FT's Cyclonus has some seriously thin and fragile parts. The one thing XTB is good at are accessories. FT could learn from them, but they only seem to include lots of accessories when they are competing against an XTB figure. That Red Alert is a great figure, but I really like the Sideswipe too. Personally, I'd rank the DF seekers above that Jetfire.
My quietus T is junk, loose arms that can’t even hold themselves up and ton of play in the ratchets and had to shave so many tabs to get it together in alt mode right
I just got MP 57 Skyfire and I absolutely love him. The transformation was pretty easy but how toon accurate he is just surprises me. One of the best Takaras IMO. He is priced around the $270 range but I think price will go up. I also purchased rhe TE 03 (Mirage) and its one of my favorite bots. Transformation is a little tricky but its very toon accurate as well.
10. Fans Toys Outrider: I originally went for the XTB Toon version due to accessories and good enough sculpt, but once I saw the paint job of Outrider, I knew it was my Trailbreaker 9. Badcube Bombshell: While not as well built as the Fans Toys Version, the chest changing gimmick elevates it above Grenadier for me and is the best MP Bombshell in my opinion 8. Rose Toys Arcee: Surprisingly well built for a KO of a modern Takara product and a not terrible transformation, my Arcee of choice 7. Fans Toys Hannibal: For a figure with such a plain paint scheme and a relatively useless alt-mode, I was not expecting to love this figure as much as I do, excellent looking modes, wonderful transformation and excellent shelf presence 6. XTB Virtus: I was origninally put off by the price increase, but once I got it, I knew it was the definitive Springer for my shelf. Not terrible transformation, exceleent paint job, great articulation and excellent alt-modes 5. Fans Toys Stomp: For a figure with so much gray plastic, it sitll has one of the best shelf presences of my collection, excellent dino mode and bot mode and awesome accessories 3. MP-21 Bumblebee: For such an old figure, I find that it still presents well, better than the v2, and has a fun transformation 2. Acoustic Wave: The best figure in my collection, I struggle to find a single problem with it, excellent paint, wonderful articulation, awesome accessories and even the tapes are really well done, especially Ravage and Laserbeak. 1. Fans Toys Sheridan: My first third-party figure, and it did not disappoint. Awesome looking robot mode that is accurate to the cartoon but not to a fault, excellent heft, fun transformation and great articulation for such a small figure.
Definitely agree with TE-03 and Janssen. When FT-49 came out that made me realize how good TE-03 really is. As for Janssen, I don't have it or FT-46 but I would definitely get Janssen if I had to choose one. Basically anything from Fanshobby really impresses me. Their line really got me into the late G1 characters. MB-08 Double Evil I think is my favorite figure in my collection. It's shear mass and presence is unrivaled. Some others you mentioned like ST-01, Quietus and Sovereign I knew were going to be good (to me). An honorable mention would be DX9 Gabriel too.
Great vid Mike...I like to add MMC Springer, XTB Seaspray, KFC Junkions, and lastly General Grant...BCs Red Alert and Sideswipe are very Underrated, they could pass for TT 2.0s
As far as being surprisingly good, the new painted version of X-Transbots aesthetically blew me away. I thought, side to side, it actually had a stronger shelf presence than my FT version. That was my surprise figure as of late. The D.S. seekers surprised the heck out of me too with how great they looked and felt. T.E. Prime every time I look at it in bot mode. All the F.T. minibots, F.T. Motormaster blew me away, and F.T. Shockwave (toy color) still does it for me. M.P. Megatron when it first came out too.
The surprised hit for me are the MMC's Protectobots as both First Aid and Streetwise basically just jumps off the television screen. Can't wait for the rest of the set.
100% I had never owned any MMC figures before I bought First Aid on a whim, the figure is amazing. Looks great, has a wonderful transformation, feels solid and an incredibly clean alt mode. I bought Streetwise shortly after that and he is equally as impressive. Since then I've gone all in on their combiners and picked up Vortex too
@@Darksbane100 MMC makes very good Transformers and if they had more paint & diecasts, they'd be up there with Fans Toys. I have their take on Karn, both Kultur and Eris Kultur, along with Mirage, Cliffjumper and now the Protectobots. I've replaced Cliffjumper with FT's take as he's way more toon and because Cliffjumper was my very first Transformer figure so he holds a very special place in my heart. The only problem with MMC, I don't see them making very many Transformers. I want their take on Bruticus but, my money isn't infinite so I have to pick and choose.
14:02 I am surprised that everyone who is going for “cartoon accuracy” has never mentioned that vehicle mode for Red Alert was drawn as a total different car (a box-on-top-of-a-box car), and no one has attempted to make it. Instead they opted for “toy accuracy” using the Countach, when Red Alert has only the window divisions from it, not even the spoiler
That Springer is a great figure and it sells for under $100. Insane price. I don't even like the character but I got mine for $60, impossible to turn that down.
Great video. You earned a subscriber. I’m so on the fence with Commander Stack (Ultra Magnus). He looks so good… but I do like to transform my MPs every so soften so that can transformation worries me.
At this point, I've sold almost all my masterpiece and but I'll talk about Legends. The Iron Factory Ultra Magnus was surprisingly good. I went into the purchase thinking it would be decent, but that figure is phenomenal. It looks amazing and is a chunky boy, but still has great articulation. Whenever a company comes up short with articulation, I always think they didn't try hard enough because of what this figure pulled off. Also the transformation is fun and intuitive. Really can't say enough good about the bot. It is getting a re-release from IF and they are even doing Delta Magnus colors. I'm tempted to pick up the repaint but will have to see
Unfortunately, I got the EX version and right out of the box, the (right side of Prime) smokestack was broken. Had to glue it 2-3 times already. I contacted Show Z with no reply back....
Sorry to hear that! I will be uploading a fix video today and they sent me an entire arm. You can get the part from the service after the sale part of ShowZ
I have a bunch of these, and I can say I am so happy with my purchases cause they're judt as perfect of figures as you can get. Xtransbot Commander Stack Xtransbot Janssen Star Toys Blitzwing MP57 Skyfire And MS02/MS02EX All God tier figures. And of course the most recent addition being Blitzwing, I was expecting the sculpt to be good, but I was so afraid that something in the transformation would be frustrating, or that some of the tolerances would be off. Just anything with it being a triple changer from a "New" company. But no, it's just a home run literally in every department And I know Janssen has it's issues and I do like a few things on Fanstoys a bit better, like the Headsculpt and the the solidity, but I do overall like Janssen's look and colors more. And with their newer releases coming with a new Head for Perceptor, I might be able to get the perfect Perceptor I've been waiting for. Hoping Xtransbots Galvatron is solid cause that sculpt is unrivaled in how perfect it is in Robot mode
Not in any order, other then the order I think of them in (ans most surprising figures, not just MP): Fans Toys Thomas. It looks really good in all three modes and the transformation is quite good. Fans Toys Motormaster. Again, looks excellent in both modes, I really like the the transformation, and I am still amazed at it's engineering. Unique Toys Challenger. I still can barely believe they were able to make that version of Prime look so good in bot mode, without a terrible transformation. XTB Cosmo. Not only does he look so good in both modes, but I like transforming it, it has great articulation, and good accessories. It was one of those figures that gave me more of an appreciation of the character due to how good the figure was. MMC Optus Nox. A fun transformation, amazing looking bot mode, and one of the best articulated action figures I own. I also love the sword and cowl. The Magnificent Mecha Optimus Prime. The bot mode looks as good as the ThreeZero figure, has fantastic articulation, a really nice looking alt mode and a fairly intuitive transformation. I think it is my favorite Optimus Prime figure. Not Transformers, but The Black Series Count Dooku was a very surprising figure. It is one of the few that I think beats it's figuarts competition. I had both, but sold the figuarts in favour of a second Black Series version. The figuarts old Man Luke and old man Han. They shouldn't be as good as they are, being a couple of old men, from a Star Wars film that is far from my favourite. They are both some of the best representations of either Harrison Ford or Mark Hamill. Takara MP Prowl. This was the first MP I purchased and I couldn't believe I was spending so much on a transformer, until I got it out of the box and started playing with it and fell in love with the line. Fans Toys Blur. Now I know his transformation is not the best, but he looks amazing in both modes, and is a character I never cared much about. Fun video.
Honestly I was surprised by FT Hitch (Hoist) & how much I like it in hand even tho I'm not that big on the character...I had the toon XTB version & thought I didn't need the FT version but once I picked him up on sale I was literally shocked how much more I prefer him to XTB ( which is in alt mode & for sale 😂😂😂)...I was also surprised by the FT Rig (Huffer) because, again, I thought the BadCube version wasn't beatable until I had Rig in hand...I think this happens more with replacement figures because sometimes your minds eye can change when you've been looking at something 1 way for a long time...great video as always Mr. Mike!!!!!!!!
I got a broken smoke stack on ms 2.0 ex and some red and blue paint on the white thigh 😢FT Cyclonus is great on plane mode but too thin in jot mode, but it looks great. Yeah Sovereign surprised me and got me into fans toys.
Sorry to hear about the issues with that prime! It is kinda fun to have both XTB and FT Cyclonus so he can have his armada and they look slightly different so not the same character
10 I like transform element shattered glass optimus prime, x-transbots inferno, dx9 terror, fanshobby thunderclash ,star toys blitzwing, mp sunstreaker, mmc smartrobin, x-transbots cyclonus, transform and roll out cybertron optimus prime and dx9 octane
I like Fans Toys Galvatron and FT Cyclonus so much I preordered FT Scourge. ShowZ no longer takes my card as payment, so I missed out on FT-02 Soundwave w/ Laserbeak. Waited til last day to pay it flopped so went to Walmart to get a Visa prepaid (ShowZ takes those correct❓) but they stopped selling them. & Walgreens is not in this area. But I really think Soundwave might be in the same league as Galvatron and Cyclonus. I started collecting Fans Toys when original Insecticons came out. Since then I got ALL FT releases EXCEPT Omega, Shockwave, Swoop, Slag, Soundwave, tapes, Fortress, Stomp, Air Raid, & Motormaster. I think I have the rest as well as a original MS-01 & TE-01 Optimus Prime's. I'm not huge on 3rd Party but Fans Toys outdoes themselves everytime!ONLY one I don't like is my original FT Preceptor.
I find it is best to use Paypal it is fast and easy with Showz. Fanstoys does take their quality very serious and lately many of the transformations have gotten better
@@tydiriumhanger1320 thank you so much it actually works now using the PayPal option! The STRIPE option was what they had my new account attached to for some reason. Anyways I did pick up FT-02 Soundwave or whatever they call em. I just go by their Sunbow names.
I still need Cosmos..... he's hard to find! Also the Ex version of Magic Square's Optimus is solid! No issues with the smoke stacks and it feels premium! My opinion, the BEST Prime available!
@@tydiriumhanger1320 Probably because they have so many recolors and minor retools that are likely sitting in supplier's inventories. I know a lot of the XTBs I have were recolors that went on major sale. Including the blue Cosmos.
I like your list, but mine would be too convoluted and impractical to bother posting. For example; my zeta bruticon is one of my top favorites, but only after upgrades and mods, and I couldn't really recommend it based on transformation, etc. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAAAAAY, I love e seeing him on the shelf. I enjoyed your list though!
LOL - “There’s nothing cool about Cosmos.” Yet you have so many Cosmos, that you don’t need anymore. Still, this uncool bot enticed you to get another; and all that kind of stuff! 😉
![Transformers KO and 3rd Party Collection [Patreon Special Missions]](/img/n.gif)
KlaaTu needs another reissue. It’s ridiculously expensive on the grey market.
Agreed!
Facts!
Absolutely agree!!! I'm not completely satisfied with my MMC version
There was a time when XTB had 3 or 4 reissues coming every month it seemed. Lately they have not been doing so many reissues and I wonder why
I was lucky I got mine literally just before they jumped up in price
I got the second release of XTB Magnus, people shouldn’t be surprised with the transformation, we’ve had the TT for yrs now.
The studio series dinobots have surprised me with how creatively original they have been with the transformations. They do a decent job of looking the part and are still fun to transform.
In dino mode together it captures g1 perfect
Great job 👍
Thanks
Great list for Tooners! 👍🏾
Good point that may be a good perspective
Megatank Monocrat (Megatron) & Planet X IDW Grimlock are excellent figures. On a best figure of the year level.
For me it’s XTB magnus being impressively INCREDIBLE and XTB Springer, DS blaster & Mirage and Fanstoys Sixshot. Oh yeah also see the XTB shining magnus “repaint”!?
Xtransbots Ultra Magnus is freaking awesome but, I think MMC's Saltus, Springer, is the best Springer.

Quietus KO is surprisingly good.
Yes all of the KOs of FT have turned out well and great representations
I really liked the springer that came in shoebox (cant remember the name of the company) but for the time it was released i enjoyed it alot
I think it was open and play big spring and yes a great figure
That Springer is a great figure and it sells for under $100. Insane price. I don't even like the character but I got mine for $60, impossible to turn that down.
