Audio is slightly funny but eh, I'll get a better mic next time. Anyways if you want to put your picks below, here is the list for an easy copy and paste: Best core class: Best deluxe class: Best voyager: Best Leader: Best Commander: Best Titan: Best studio series figure: Best Legacy toy: Best 3p toy: Best non transforming transformer: Best colab: Best Exclusive: Best Takara Exclusive: Best MP: Best non transformer: Best Transformers One toy:
Pain. I know Hasbro marketing said they gonna try their best to get him as stocked as possible. I can see post holiday season then doing restocks once the Christmas inventory clears
This is one of the best top figures of the year videos ever. I really hope you do this again next year. I'm only gonna do the best size classes because that's a lot of categories. Best Core: Energon Megatron, runner up: Mini Bee movie Starscream Best Deluxe: 86 Bumblebee, runner up: 86 Brawn (dead version so it counts) Best Voyager: Bee movie Shockwave, runner up: Gamer Edition Optimus Prime (he got a rerelease so it counts) Best Leader: Bee movie Megatron, runner up: Legacy Dreadwing (my order didn't come it til August this year so I'm counting it) Best Commander: 86 Optimus Prime, runner up: Siege Jetfire (he got a reissue so it counts) Beat Titan: I didn't buy any unfortunately.
Yeah, it’s the same thing oh my God it’s only the same thing because action figures aren’t transformers toys are the same thing as action figures it’s just the same exact thing
Best core class: Mohawk Best deluxe class: Legacy Windblade Best voyager class: Legacy Vector Prime Best leader class: SS86 Swoop Best SS figure: SS86 Swoop Best Legacy figure: Cyberverse Windblade Best TF One figure: Prime Changers Alpha Trion Best Earthspark figure: Deluxe Nightshade
@ Never had the original, since I was born mid-2000s, and joined around ROTF. I saw the original on TFWiki, and wanted a guy like him. Legacy fulfilled that need. Unlike Jhiaxus, he doesn’t yellow, and the transparent blue wings might be a little loose, but they look impressive with his sword.
@@fulcrumagent my opinion. Make your own list if you want. I collected a lot, but not a lot of figures released this year, which is how I tried to contain the list.
Damn the 40th anniversary was good to us and we still got more for the anniversary next year from japan, very excited to see what we're gonna get next year
Amazing picks. I have to tone my down to best Transformers toy I got this year is the deluxe legacy Optimus Prime. It blew me away and has yet to leave my desk. Its fun, affordable, and just brings alot of fun memories of the G1 prime back to me. Love it. Cheers.
Lunar Cruiser Prime is actually my favourite toy of the year full stop. I wish he'd come with a proper weapon, which would have maybe made him in my top five of all time, but I also understand why he didn't given the nature of the collab. That said, I still think he should have been Magnus purely down to the colour scheme.
It's great to see you, you handsome bloke, you! Love this format. Thanks for the entire year of nerding out over Transformers and the joy you've brought me.
I started collecting Transformers this year and have had a blast being able to own an animated Optimus and Bumblebee is great since I missed out on the originals and G1 prime is just so good
I definitely prefer this format of end of the year list compared to the “Top 10” style, really cool to see the best in all the different categories rather than just arbitrarily picking 10 figures randomly that were released this year!
I cut waaaaaaay back on collecting, and that includes transformers, so the only ones that go on my list are SS86 Optimus and Legacy United Thundertron.
I don't collect all these niches and a lot of the stuff I have gotten this year isn't figures that came out this year but Agent Knight is BY. FAR. my favorite overall figure
I don't own all of these btw: Best Core: Legacy Energon Megatron Best Deluxe: Legacy Cyberverse Chromia Best Voyager: Animated Optimus Prime Best Leader: Studio Series Swoop Best non-transformers action figure: jakks 3-inch Silver the Hedgehog Best non-transforming transformer: Blokees Galaxy Defender Shattered Glass Sideswipe (I love itty bitty things and shattered glass a lot and he's still STUCK IN THE MAIL THANKS USPS) Best TF-One Figure: Prime Changers Optimus Prime/Orion Pax edit Ok i got a core mowhawk today and omg hes so stupid and fun so i am updating the spot for him
You're right - we truly have been spoilt this year, and things are only looking to get even more insane. I think it's a great time to be a Transformers collector. That being said, lemme take a stab at some of these categories... Best Core Class: Bouldercrash (Runner up: Geocron (Yeah, I only got one mould that actually came out this year - the rest I got from backcollecting)) Best Deluxe Class: Magneous (Runner up: Animated Universe Bumblebee) Best Voyager Class: Gamer Edition Starscream (Runner up: '86 Dead Ratchet) Best Leader Class: Concept Art Megatron (Runner up: Comic Edition Grimlock) Best Commander Class: Magmatron (Runner up: Jetfire (The reissue version, if that even counts)) Best Studio Series: Concept Art Megatron (Runner up: '86 Springer) Best Legacy: Magneous (Runner up: Magmatron) Best Exclusive: Comic Edition Grimlock (Runner up: Shattered Glass Optimus Prime (Also reissued this year (Does Generations Selects count as an Exclusive? IDK))) Best Takara Exclusive: Missing Link Convoy (Runner up: Dramatic Capture Soundwave) I didn't get anything that'd fill the Titan, 3P, Non-transforming Transformer, Collab, MP or Transformers One categories this year. Maybe I could put FumoFumo Flandre as my Best Non Transformer, but she's a plush toy and not an action figure, so it'd be a bit of a stretch.
Funny enough I just stopped out at Walmart and found the Legacy G1 Optimus right before I got home and watched this and I agree, that little guy is so much fun! It looks nostalgic and it has the most solid alt mode of the Primes that I own. The robot mode is a bit loose and someone stole the matrix out of it but I looooooove the truck!
I bought a studio series 86 optimus prime, it's probably the best feeling toy i've bought in a really long time and finally owning one is a childhood dream come true
"For the same amount as a Marvel Legends you get a toy and a puzzle", and this is exactly the main reason I swapped from ML to Transformers. I already fell in love with the Transformers from reading the comics, and the toy/puzzle combination is just perfect.
Brave Commander TF One Optimus is definitely up there, but my copy has QC issues for the backpack and right bicep. The backpack doesn't tab in very well, and the bicep mushroom peg collides with the actual connector that forces it off sometimes (I haven't tried to shave it down yet.)
Best core class: Legacy Bouldercrash Best deluxe class: Legacy Filch Best voyager: 2-Pack Bludgeon Best Leader: (Didn’t get any of the leaders this year) Best Commander: (Same here) Best Titan: (I don’t even have space for a titan) Best studio series figure: Skywarp Best Legacy toy: Bludgeon Best 3p toy: Iron Factory Starwing Best non transforming transformer: Blokees Classic Class 07 Megatron Best colab: None of the ones this year caught my eye, I’m waiting on Rathalos Best MP: MPG Yamabuki Best non transformer: Those chibi Yuri is my Job figures (they released late 2023 but I don’t have much else to put here most of what I bought this year didn’t release this year) Best Transformers One toy: Prime Changers Quintesson High Commander
Only thing I’ll say is that you should add in a honorable mentions at the end. I’m just sad that Legacy Gears wasn’t on the list, a personal favorite of mine from Legacy. I just got budget missing link prime and quake yesterday and they are solid, prime especially. I can see why that was highly praised. Both prime and gears will most likely stay on the desk as deskformers. Great video regardless, definitely worth another one at the end of 2025, since this year was pretty damn good. Also, if you get the chance to, pick up Tigerhawk, he’s my pick for leader of the year.
Really fun video, it'd definitely be cool to see this become a yearly thing, maybe with some more awards too like best redeco or an overall figure of the year
I think this was kind of a bad year for Transformers, but next year is looking great. My best in each class: Core: Energon Megatron Deluxe: Magneous / Calcitron Voyager: Gamerverse Ratchet Leader: Rise of the Beasts Optimus Primal Commander: Magmatron Titan: Tidal Wave
Core: Snarl Deluxe: Animated Bee Voyager: Animated Optimus (I’m biased lol) Leader: Concept Megatron Studio series: TFone Megatron Legacy: Animated Optimus Non-transforming: Blokees Sentinel Prime Non-transformer: Black series Baylan Skoll I didn’t get anything I haven’t listed from this year but my favorite figure I got this year (even tho it didn’t come out this year) is FansToys Thomas JP. I love robots, I love trains, I love space, I love complexity. It’s pretty much a perfect figure to me.
So here's my ranking. I can't accurately make a list of 2024 toys as there were very few I bought this year from this year's line (I'm not a super big generations fan,) but here's my list of the best of each that I got during the year :) . Also no duplicates, it's more fun for me :) Best core: Infernac Deluxe: SS DOTM Soundwave (could be recency bias, so removing that I'd go with SS TF One Megatron, or Generations Autobot 5 pack Wheeljack) Voyager: Probably SS 2007 Megatron (I don't collect a lot of voyagers I've noticed (very close runner up is legacy animated Motormaster)) Leader: A close tie between SS 2007 Blackout and Leader Kingdom Megatron (beast wars) Commander: 86 Optimus (come on dude) Titan: Didn't get any Legacy: Legacy Elita One Studio Series: Studio Series 2007 Barricade (close second is SS ROTB Battletrap) Hasbro exclusive: None. Though I have like, 4, on preorder Takara: None. Too pricey for me 3rd party: I don't think I got any! Which is super unlike me, but most of the ones I want are coming out later so eh Crossover: Transformers x Street Fighter Ryu/M. Bison FREE. I love both of these two so much No MP or non transforming figures this year. Was tempted by both, but didn't bite. Ultimately a great year in collecting :) . Pretty sure I doubled my collection this year 😭
Cheers mate, that's a really good summary of toys from the year - I just need SS86 Optimus Prime to be available to me!!! I really want it but here in the UK it's so hard to find unless you pay £130ish ($235ish Canadian). Regardless, have a very merry Christmas and happy New Year! x
as an early christmas gift, my fiancé got me the musclebear Tarn. My figure of the year, even if it didn’t come out this year lol. Really outshines my collection haha.
i wish that the multipacks were cheaper in australia cause as a result of the tax everything costs more that isnt like a mainline figure, basically commander and up costs way more than it should, but i gotta say my favourite from this year was definately Gamer Edition ratchet, i wasnt expecting to like it as much as i do and the robot mode is good, weird in some places but it isnt bad however the alt mode just is so freaking good, it has a weird quality to it that just makes me happy, idk kinda random but hes great
Best core class: Legacy United BolderCrash Best deluxe class: Legacy United Chase Best voyager: SS Skywarp Best Leader: SS Concept Megatron Best Commander: SS86 Optimus Best Titan: didn't buy Tidalwave Best studio series figure: SS86 Optimus Best Legacy toy: Chase I'm really excited to see next year's figures!
My favorite toy of the year would be MMC's Protectorbots. Although not everyone of them came out this year, some did and now only Blades is missing before I complete my favorite combiner, Defensor. Xtransbots Big Load also surprised me with how good he was. I don't have SS-86 Optimus Prime yet so I'm not sure as he's still sitting in my Pile of Loot from BBTS. I do love SS-86 Springer though. I bought 2 of them as Springer is one of my favorite character.
Seeing Vector Prime on the table I thought he was up for best retool of an existing figure of course that would have probably gone to Straxus as well. Apparently Entertainment Earth has him available so I may just grab him despite the import prices, and shipping. I can't believe I nearly bought 70 Transformers this year though a lot of that was a lot of catch up from previous years with Legacy years 1 and 2, and the Commanders. Running down my ranking list minus Core figures, and 3rd party. Deluxe Class: I actually gave it to legacy United Gears, runner up Reactivate Bumblebee Voyager: Takara Bridge Capture Soundwave, runner up Doom and Destruction Bludgeon Leader Class: Repack Earthrise Optimus Prime, runner up Legacy United Sandstorm Commander Class: 86 Optimus Prime, runner up Earthrise Skylinx. Worst figures for me personally were the SS Decepticon 4 pack, as these molds are really showing their age. Starscream was the only one I didn't want bin as he's actaully quite good for an update over the original. Just waiting now for the Takara TFO Optimus Prime. Curious to see how high or low he'll rank in the grand scheme of things.
Let me see, I got Gamer Editions Ratchet and Sideswipe, Bumblebee movies Skywarp and Sunstreaker, Legacy's Silverbolt, Tigerhawk and Starscream. I love them all. But my favorite that I mess around with is a tie between Sideswipe and Starscream. I messed with the latter so much the paint started chipping. Damn it.
This list is obviously based upon my own personal opinion of what I actually bought this year. Best core class: SS 86 Steeljaw. Best deluxe class: Legacy Ruckus with Windblade being the runner up. Best voyager: Legacy Cybertron Starscream A figure I bought purely because I thought it looked cool but man I was not at all disapointed. Runner up is Legacy Doon n Destruction Bludgeon. Best Leader: SS Concept Megatron; Best Commander: SS 86 Optimus Prime Best Titan: NA/ I guess technically Tidal Wave even though I didn't get him. lol Best studio series figure: SS 86 Optimus Prime with Gamer Edition Ratchet being my runner up. Best Legacy toy: Legacy Cybertron Starscream. Best 3p toy: MMC Reformatted Azalea (I know it didn't come out this year but I bought it this year) Best non transforming transformer: Yolopark Transformers One Cogged D-16/Megatron. Best colab: NA Though I've been wanting to get Nightrider. Best Hasbro Exclusive: Fractured Friendship. Best Takara Exclusive: Beast Wars VS Dinobot and Tarantulas. Best MP: NA Hopfully should reviece my Newage Dual soon. Best non transformer: Tough one as I got quite a few this year however I gotta give it to the Mcfarlane Toys Collecter Edition Huntress, I got the Platinum and am very happy with it. Runner up is the Platinum Batman Reborn. Best Transformers One toy: Yolopark Transformers One Cogged D-16/Megatron, However I do want that Leader Class Prime and might even pick up the Studio Series, Can't wait for Sentinel.
40th Anniversary so many. I've been building the Flame toys models. Pre-ordered the three zero Corinati9n Starscream and the Yolopark G1 draining my old ass personal bank. I had to though. I still remember watching the forst week of season 1 as a kid in 84. I preordered the Hasbro Rodimus Machina fig coming in June too. Ouch.
Best deluxe class: Studio Gamer Sideswipe Best voyager: Origins Wheeljack Best Leader: Concept Art Megatron Best Commander: 86 Optimus Prime Best studio series figure: 86 Optimus Prime Best Legacy toy: Origins Wheeljack Best colab: Agent Knight Best Exclusive: Missing Link Convoy Best Takara Exclusive: Missing Link Convoy
Best core class: Legacy United Energon Megatron (Been my desk bot all year, love him) Best deluxe class: Studio Series 86 Bumblebee Best voyager: Legacy United Cybertron Universe Starscream Best Leader: Legacy United Tigerhawk Best Commander: Legacy United Magmatron (C'mon, my favorite character of all time got a new figure) Best Titan: Legacy United Tidal Wave (In serious contention for best Titan) Best studio series figure: 86 Optimus Prime Best Legacy toy: Magmatron Best 3p toy: Didn't buy anything unless you count the MMC Mors (IDW Helex) reissue Best non transforming transformer: Blokees ROTB Arcee Model Kit (Finally a ROTB Arcee that looks good with the SS figures and is in scale) Best colab: N/A Best Exclusive: Dinoking Best Takara Exclusive: Super Starscream Best MP: N/A Best non transformer: SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Buffa Fever Zombie Best Transformers One toy: SS Megatron (Honorable Mention to the Walmart Matrix of Leadership, cool we got one)
Brave commander Optimus I love it, it’s amazing and the best of the 3 main Optimus primes people buy, the only issue is the pinned shoulders and axe not fitting well but it’s great still
Guess I am in the minority about G1 Deluxe Optimus. I'm just tired of G1 Optimus Prime figures. I have the Siege, Earthrise, TFOne Deluxe, and ROTB SS Optimus.
Best core class: SS Mohawk Best deluxe class: Legacy Animated Bumblebee Best voyager: SS ROTB Optimus Prime Best Leader: SS BB Megatron Best Commander: SS86 Optimus Prime Best studio series figure: SS BB Megatron Best Legacy toy: Animated Optimus Prime Best colab: Party Wallop Best Exclusive: Fractured Friendship Orion Pax Best Transformers One toy: SS Optimus Prime
The only "new" thing i got was the star toys blitwing reissue, and i'm still waiting for the replacement hand to arrive but elsewise he's awesome Best non transformer (and not actually a figure either): Makeship Dogoo Plush that i funded last year My room is a mess
Best core class: rumble Best deluxe class: megatron Best voyager: skywarp Best Leader: me swoop Best Commander: don’t know Best Titan: tidal wave Best studio series figure: bumblebee Best Legacy toy: slipstream Best 3p toy: don’t have any Best non transforming transformer: don’t have any Best colab:don’t have any Best Exclusive: don’t remember Best Takara Exclusive: I don’t get any Best MP: don’t have any Best Transformers One toy:sental prime
Another year, another wallet-draining list of plastic that makes me happy: Best Core class: SS Mohawk (definitely nice alt mode, love the head, and the knife is a nice little detail) Best Deluxe class: SS86 Bee (love the integration of all they've learned since Titans Return engineering-wise) Best Voyager: SS GE Ratchet (dark magic transformation, love that he is chunky and not hollow at all) Best Leader: SS Megs (can't stress enough how good he feels in hand, the construction quality is out of this world (cybertronian?)) Best Commander: SS Optimus Prime (insane transformation that left me speechless, MP on a budget, amazing shelf presence) Best Titan: Tidal Wave (like the accessories gimmick, the individual ship modes are fantastic) Best Studio Series figure: SS Optimus Prime (he is a dream come true, the definitive CHUG G1 Prime) Best Legacy toy: Sandstorm (despite his flaws, I love the transformation, the materials used and, for one, his toy head design) Best 3p toy: Funko head transforming ROTB Prime (it is nice how even the head must compact so that it fits inside the cab) Best non transforming transformer: Loved the TF One statues from Yolopark, it is insane that they can deliver such quality at that price point Best Collab: GI Joe Kup (he captures the essence of Kup and the vehicle mode suits him well, also, intricate transformation) Best Exclusive: Straxus (yep, amazing use of the Galvatron mold, love the colors) Best Takara Exclusive: JAXA Prime (love the lunar vehicle, the transformation is crazy good) Best MP: MPM Brawl (solid construction, paint is great, transformation is intricate yet fun. Love how the arms fold like plastic origami) Best non transformer: This hobby is so expensive, it doesn't leave room to collect anything else :P Best Transformers One toy: SS Megs (crazy bastard looks identical to his CGI model, like the colors and the head design)
Best core class: Beast Machines Cheetor Best deluxe class: Legacy Gears runner ups are SS TFone Optimus and Legacy Nucleous) Best voyager: GE Ratchet (Runner ups are the Fractured friendship pack guys) Best Leader: Tigerhawk Best Commander: Magamatron Best Titan: Tidalwave Best studio series figure: TFOne Optimus Best Legacy toy: Gears Best 3p toy: Newage DOTM Megatron Best non transforming transformer: MDLX G2 Megatron if that released this year. Best colab: Party Wallop Best Exclusive: Canon ball (runner ups are Barrage/Chop shop and Xaaron/Flame) Best Takara Exclusive: Missing link Optimus Best MP: Rhinox Best non transformer: This knock off lego beetle on a tree set I got from Kmart Best Transformers One toy: Energon Glow Bumblebee (runner ups ss Optimus and Megatron)

Cant wait for anti awards to show up
Can't have a transformers best of 24 list without ms bruticus 🎉
Best repaint would be Animated Motormaster
nice models, would you have recommandations for a jetfire/optimus combination?
Can I ask you some questions please
holy shit the room is smaller than i thought lol
I don’t think that’s the full room.
Its actually the opposite for 86 Optimus, he's soldout or upmarked in price everywhere, shame I really wanted to cop him for Christmas
Don't lose hope comrade. You'll find him eventually. I did. Keep on searching, best of luck.
Pain. I know Hasbro marketing said they gonna try their best to get him as stocked as possible. I can see post holiday season then doing restocks once the Christmas inventory clears
@@ThatToyGuy Apperently he's been showing up at Targets at the US too. I also see him on and off Pulse and Amazon.
he was available for so long, until the day I wanted him. rest in peace
He should be up for preorder on BBTS. I don't think you'll get a Christmas price on him but if you really want him you can try there
Would you do a top 10 poopy figures? Yes?
that would be cool
If you are looking for awards, you can get a customized pack of ribbons for next to nothing. And they only take a few weeks max to get.
Good idea actually.
Idk what to put here so fish
Fish
@ FISH
Speaking of fish...
fish.
@@Manglefnaf1987 fish lips? That's gotta be mr jay
This is one of the best top figures of the year videos ever. I really hope you do this again next year. I'm only gonna do the best size classes because that's a lot of categories.
Best Core: Energon Megatron, runner up: Mini Bee movie Starscream
Best Deluxe: 86 Bumblebee, runner up: 86 Brawn (dead version so it counts)
Best Voyager: Bee movie Shockwave, runner up: Gamer Edition Optimus Prime (he got a rerelease so it counts)
Best Leader: Bee movie Megatron, runner up: Legacy Dreadwing (my order didn't come it til August this year so I'm counting it)
Best Commander: 86 Optimus Prime, runner up: Siege Jetfire (he got a reissue so it counts)
Beat Titan: I didn't buy any unfortunately.

@BrickifiedQuack What can I say, the Bumblebee movie had some absolutely amazing figures this year.
All of your toys look very cool
There called ACTION FIGURES!!!!!!!!
Action figures toys transformers it’s the same exact thing
@ nuh uh
Yeah, it’s the same thing oh my God it’s only the same thing because action figures aren’t transformers toys are the same thing as action figures it’s just the same exact thing
@ ok fine then there collectables NOT TOYS 🧸
Best core class: Mohawk
Best deluxe class: Legacy Windblade
Best voyager class: Legacy Vector Prime
Best leader class: SS86 Swoop
Best SS figure: SS86 Swoop
Best Legacy figure: Cyberverse Windblade
Best TF One figure: Prime Changers Alpha Trion
Best Earthspark figure: Deluxe Nightshade
I have Vector Prime. He disappoints me so much. Did you not have the original one?
@ Never had the original, since I was born mid-2000s, and joined around ROTF. I saw the original on TFWiki, and wanted a guy like him. Legacy fulfilled that need.
Unlike Jhiaxus, he doesn’t yellow, and the transparent blue wings might be a little loose, but they look impressive with his sword.
L list
@@fulcrumagent my opinion. Make your own list if you want. I collected a lot, but not a lot of figures released this year, which is how I tried to contain the list.
@@fulcrumagent shut the hell up
I like the MKBHD approach
Damn the 40th anniversary was good to us and we still got more for the anniversary next year from japan, very excited to see what we're gonna get next year
just got home from buying filch and lockdown and toyguy uploaded, today is good
Amazing picks. I have to tone my down to best Transformers toy I got this year is the deluxe legacy Optimus Prime. It blew me away and has yet to leave my desk. Its fun, affordable, and just brings alot of fun memories of the G1 prime back to me. Love it. Cheers.
Maybe for Transformers two they'll make a leader class Megatron 🤔
Lunar Cruiser Prime is actually my favourite toy of the year full stop. I wish he'd come with a proper weapon, which would have maybe made him in my top five of all time, but I also understand why he didn't given the nature of the collab.
That said, I still think he should have been Magnus purely down to the colour scheme.

I started collecting Transformers this year and have had a blast being able to own an animated Optimus and Bumblebee is great since I missed out on the originals and G1 prime is just so good
props for making this video man, you nailed it for a first attempt. hope to see more from you in this format!
It's funny that I only got mohawk as my only transformer of 2024
For best voyager, I’m going with Game Edition Ratchet. He just seems to be a very well rounded figure and I love ratchet. :).
I definitely prefer this format of end of the year list compared to the “Top 10” style, really cool to see the best in all the different categories rather than just arbitrarily picking 10 figures randomly that were released this year!
I cut waaaaaaay back on collecting, and that includes transformers, so the only ones that go on my list are SS86 Optimus and Legacy United Thundertron.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed Gears.
I don't collect all these niches and a lot of the stuff I have gotten this year isn't figures that came out this year but Agent Knight is BY. FAR. my favorite overall figure
New age duel is my fav third party toy of the year. Just mine
Oh yeah have you ever considered getting an upgrade fusion cannon for tf one megs?
I don't own all of these btw:
Best Core: Legacy Energon Megatron
Best Deluxe: Legacy Cyberverse Chromia
Best Voyager: Animated Optimus Prime
Best Leader: Studio Series Swoop
Best non-transformers action figure: jakks 3-inch Silver the Hedgehog
Best non-transforming transformer: Blokees Galaxy Defender Shattered Glass Sideswipe (I love itty bitty things and shattered glass a lot and he's still STUCK IN THE MAIL THANKS USPS)
Best TF-One Figure: Prime Changers Optimus Prime/Orion Pax
edit Ok i got a core mowhawk today and omg hes so stupid and fun so i am updating the spot for him
Man I would’ve loved to know what your number 1 overall was this year. Also big fan of this final “best of the year” recap format
I like this format!
Really enjoyed the format of this awards. Having the robots on hand is brilliant.
Bro looks handsome 🤭
Ayo, I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that lol
You're right - we truly have been spoilt this year, and things are only looking to get even more insane. I think it's a great time to be a Transformers collector.
That being said, lemme take a stab at some of these categories...
Best Core Class: Bouldercrash (Runner up: Geocron (Yeah, I only got one mould that actually came out this year - the rest I got from backcollecting))
Best Deluxe Class: Magneous (Runner up: Animated Universe Bumblebee)

Best Exclusive: Comic Edition Grimlock (Runner up: Shattered Glass Optimus Prime (Also reissued this year (Does Generations Selects count as an Exclusive? IDK)))
Best Takara Exclusive: Missing Link Convoy (Runner up: Dramatic Capture Soundwave)
I didn't get anything that'd fill the Titan, 3P, Non-transforming Transformer, Collab, MP or Transformers One categories this year. Maybe I could put FumoFumo Flandre as my Best Non Transformer, but she's a plush toy and not an action figure, so it'd be a bit of a stretch.

17 seconds ago is crazy
Amazing video, man. Please, make more like this. You have an amazing collection. I wish you a Merry Christmas from Venezuela :D
Bro I know it’s besides the point but damn you look really healthy now.
I bought a studio series 86 optimus prime, it's probably the best feeling toy i've bought in a really long time and finally owning one is a childhood dream come true
"For the same amount as a Marvel Legends you get a toy and a puzzle", and this is exactly the main reason I swapped from ML to Transformers. I already fell in love with the Transformers from reading the comics, and the toy/puzzle combination is just perfect.
Baiwei should make a ss
fallen replica
Brave Commander TF One Optimus is definitely up there, but my copy has QC issues for the backpack and right bicep. The backpack doesn't tab in very well, and the bicep mushroom peg collides with the actual connector that forces it off sometimes (I haven't tried to shave it down yet.)
I’ve missed out on these Transformers toys, running out of storage space, and I really need to catch up with everything this year.
Best core class: Legacy Bouldercrash
Best deluxe class: Legacy Filch
Best voyager: 2-Pack Bludgeon
Best Leader: (Didn’t get any of the leaders this year)
Best Commander: (Same here)
Best Titan: (I don’t even have space for a titan)
Best studio series figure: Skywarp
Best Legacy toy: Bludgeon
Best 3p toy: Iron Factory Starwing
Best non transforming transformer: Blokees Classic Class 07 Megatron
Best colab: None of the ones this year caught my eye, I’m waiting on Rathalos
Best MP: MPG Yamabuki
Best non transformer: Those chibi Yuri is my Job figures (they released late 2023 but I don’t have much else to put here most of what I bought this year didn’t release this year)
Best Transformers One toy: Prime Changers Quintesson High Commander
Only thing I’ll say is that you should add in a honorable mentions at the end. I’m just sad that Legacy Gears wasn’t on the list, a personal favorite of mine from Legacy. I just got budget missing link prime and quake yesterday and they are solid, prime especially. I can see why that was highly praised.

Great idea lol. I always enjoy all your videos!
I really love you brother, one of my idols and keep me going on as a collector, lots of love and happy holidays, the awards were perfect❤
there had been a lot of great figures this year, no denying that.
I’d like to submit the following for consideration:
Leader Class: Dreadwing
3rd Party: Black Mamba Oversized DJD-01 ‘Tarn’
I'm still waiting for COLLABORATION with The Dukes of Hazzard: General Lee. Not gonna hold my breath.
I'm not even a bumblebee movie fan but that Shockwave is awesome
great video man! I liked the facecam content, hope you do more stuff like this in the future!
great video, love this format... waiting for next year toy award....
I think this was kind of a bad year for Transformers, but next year is looking great. My best in each class:
Core: Energon Megatron
Deluxe: Magneous / Calcitron
Voyager: Gamerverse Ratchet
Leader: Rise of the Beasts Optimus Primal
Commander: Magmatron
Titan: Tidal Wave
Could you please make a video on how to fix loose transformer joints? I have several with loose joint problems.
Peepee is my one true friend.
Even if he stole my kidney to buy peanuts
No gears? :(
It’s a good one
Overrated
Core: Snarl
Deluxe: Animated Bee
Voyager: Animated Optimus (I’m biased lol)
Leader: Concept Megatron
Studio series: TFone Megatron
Legacy: Animated Optimus
Non-transforming: Blokees Sentinel Prime
Non-transformer: Black series Baylan Skoll
I didn’t get anything I haven’t listed from this year but my favorite figure I got this year (even tho it didn’t come out this year) is FansToys Thomas JP. I love robots, I love trains, I love space, I love complexity. It’s pretty much a perfect figure to me.
The Optimus prime sweep was crazy
great video love the content but the audio is not quite good, saramonic clip mic is quite cheap tho only 25 bucks in Amazon
I want to see more awards for other things like best articulation, transformation and hand feel, things i feel i under appreciated
I love Optimus Primes Figure
🔥💯🥶
So here's my ranking. I can't accurately make a list of 2024 toys as there were very few I bought this year from this year's line (I'm not a super big generations fan,) but here's my list of the best of each that I got during the year :) . Also no duplicates, it's more fun for me :)
Best core: Infernac
Deluxe: SS DOTM Soundwave (could be recency bias, so removing that I'd go with SS TF One Megatron, or Generations Autobot 5 pack Wheeljack)
Voyager: Probably SS 2007 Megatron (I don't collect a lot of voyagers I've noticed (very close runner up is legacy animated Motormaster))
Leader: A close tie between SS 2007 Blackout and Leader Kingdom Megatron (beast wars)
Commander: 86 Optimus (come on dude)
Titan: Didn't get any
Legacy: Legacy Elita One
Studio Series: Studio Series 2007 Barricade (close second is SS ROTB Battletrap)
Hasbro exclusive: None. Though I have like, 4, on preorder
Takara: None. Too pricey for me
3rd party: I don't think I got any! Which is super unlike me, but most of the ones I want are coming out later so eh
Crossover: Transformers x Street Fighter Ryu/M. Bison FREE. I love both of these two so much
No MP or non transforming figures this year. Was tempted by both, but didn't bite. Ultimately a great year in collecting :) . Pretty sure I doubled my collection this year 😭
Cheers mate, that's a really good summary of toys from the year - I just need SS86 Optimus Prime to be available to me!!! I really want it but here in the UK it's so hard to find unless you pay £130ish ($235ish Canadian). Regardless, have a very merry Christmas and happy New Year! x
as an early christmas gift, my fiancé got me the musclebear Tarn. My figure of the year, even if it didn’t come out this year lol. Really outshines my collection haha.
i wish that the multipacks were cheaper in australia cause as a result of the tax everything costs more that isnt like a mainline figure, basically commander and up costs way more than it should, but i gotta say my favourite from this year was definately Gamer Edition ratchet, i wasnt expecting to like it as much as i do and the robot mode is good, weird in some places but it isnt bad however the alt mode just is so freaking good, it has a weird quality to it that just makes me happy, idk kinda random but hes great
Best core class: Legacy United BolderCrash
Best deluxe class: Legacy United Chase
Best voyager: SS Skywarp
Best Leader: SS Concept Megatron
Best Commander: SS86 Optimus
Best Titan: didn't buy Tidalwave
Best studio series figure: SS86 Optimus
Best Legacy toy: Chase
I'm really excited to see next year's figures!
My favorite toy of the year would be MMC's Protectorbots. Although not everyone of them came out this year, some did and now only Blades is missing before I complete my favorite combiner, Defensor. Xtransbots Big Load also surprised me with how good he was. I don't have SS-86 Optimus Prime yet so I'm not sure as he's still sitting in my Pile of Loot from BBTS. I do love SS-86 Springer though. I bought 2 of them as Springer is one of my favorite character.
Seeing Vector Prime on the table I thought he was up for best retool of an existing figure of course that would have probably gone to Straxus as well. Apparently Entertainment Earth has him available so I may just grab him despite the import prices, and shipping. I can't believe I nearly bought 70 Transformers this year though a lot of that was a lot of catch up from previous years with Legacy years 1 and 2, and the Commanders. Running down my ranking list minus Core figures, and 3rd party.
Deluxe Class: I actually gave it to legacy United Gears, runner up Reactivate Bumblebee
Voyager: Takara Bridge Capture Soundwave, runner up Doom and Destruction Bludgeon
Leader Class: Repack Earthrise Optimus Prime, runner up Legacy United Sandstorm
Commander Class: 86 Optimus Prime, runner up Earthrise Skylinx.
Worst figures for me personally were the SS Decepticon 4 pack, as these molds are really showing their age. Starscream was the only one I didn't want bin as he's actaully quite good for an update over the original.
Just waiting now for the Takara TFO Optimus Prime. Curious to see how high or low he'll rank in the grand scheme of things.
1:45 That's cool!
Let me see, I got Gamer Editions Ratchet and Sideswipe, Bumblebee movies Skywarp and Sunstreaker, Legacy's Silverbolt, Tigerhawk and Starscream. I love them all. But my favorite that I mess around with is a tie between Sideswipe and Starscream. I messed with the latter so much the paint started chipping. Damn it.
This list is obviously based upon my own personal opinion of what I actually bought this year.
Best core class: SS 86 Steeljaw.
Best deluxe class: Legacy Ruckus with Windblade being the runner up.
Best voyager: Legacy Cybertron Starscream A figure I bought purely because I thought it looked cool but man I was not at all disapointed.
Runner up is Legacy Doon n Destruction Bludgeon.
Best Leader: SS Concept Megatron;
Best Commander: SS 86 Optimus Prime
Best Titan: NA/ I guess technically Tidal Wave even though I didn't get him. lol
Best studio series figure: SS 86 Optimus Prime with Gamer Edition Ratchet being my runner up.
Best Legacy toy: Legacy Cybertron Starscream.
Best 3p toy: MMC Reformatted Azalea (I know it didn't come out this year but I bought it this year)
Best non transforming transformer: Yolopark Transformers One Cogged D-16/Megatron.
Best colab: NA Though I've been wanting to get Nightrider.
Best Hasbro Exclusive: Fractured Friendship.
Best Takara Exclusive: Beast Wars VS Dinobot and Tarantulas.
Best MP: NA Hopfully should reviece my Newage Dual soon.
Best non transformer: Tough one as I got quite a few this year however I gotta give it to the Mcfarlane Toys Collecter Edition Huntress, I got the Platinum and am very happy with it. Runner up is the Platinum Batman Reborn.
Best Transformers One toy: Yolopark Transformers One Cogged D-16/Megatron, However I do want that Leader Class Prime and might even pick up the Studio Series, Can't wait for Sentinel.
0:53 Was wondering why the layout looked similar to phone awards lol
Can’t put down the bills?
Chefatron would disagree with you about that g1 legacy prime😂😂
40th Anniversary so many. I've been building the Flame toys models. Pre-ordered the three zero Corinati9n Starscream and the Yolopark G1 draining my old ass personal bank. I had to though. I still remember watching the forst week of season 1 as a kid in 84.
I preordered the Hasbro Rodimus Machina fig coming in June too. Ouch.
All the primes are my Transformer of the year
If you added a little more editing and close up this video would have been the best of the year. Love the concept though

I'm thinking I might pay a friend to do that
Deluxe Sunstreak from that video game is my favorite Deluxe
SS86 Optimus: I'm undefeated Neva lost
Brave commander Optimus I love it, it’s amazing and the best of the 3 main Optimus primes people buy, the only issue is the pinned shoulders and axe not fitting well but it’s great still
I got lucky with my 86 Prime. Found him for like $20 off last month a week or 2 before Thanksgiving
nontransforming: BLOKEES!!!!! I love them!
Guess I am in the minority about G1 Deluxe Optimus. I'm just tired of G1 Optimus Prime figures. I have the Siege, Earthrise, TFOne Deluxe, and ROTB SS Optimus.

Another year, another wallet-draining list of plastic that makes me happy:
Best Core class: SS Mohawk (definitely nice alt mode, love the head, and the knife is a nice little detail)
Best Deluxe class: SS86 Bee (love the integration of all they've learned since Titans Return engineering-wise)
Best Voyager: SS GE Ratchet (dark magic transformation, love that he is chunky and not hollow at all)
Best Leader: SS Megs (can't stress enough how good he feels in hand, the construction quality is out of this world (cybertronian?))
Best Commander: SS Optimus Prime (insane transformation that left me speechless, MP on a budget, amazing shelf presence)
Best Titan: Tidal Wave (like the accessories gimmick, the individual ship modes are fantastic)
Best Studio Series figure: SS Optimus Prime (he is a dream come true, the definitive CHUG G1 Prime)
Best Legacy toy: Sandstorm (despite his flaws, I love the transformation, the materials used and, for one, his toy head design)
Best 3p toy: Funko head transforming ROTB Prime (it is nice how even the head must compact so that it fits inside the cab)
Best non transforming transformer: Loved the TF One statues from Yolopark, it is insane that they can deliver such quality at that price point
Best Collab: GI Joe Kup (he captures the essence of Kup and the vehicle mode suits him well, also, intricate transformation)
Best Exclusive: Straxus (yep, amazing use of the Galvatron mold, love the colors)
Best Takara Exclusive: JAXA Prime (love the lunar vehicle, the transformation is crazy good)
Best MP: MPM Brawl (solid construction, paint is great, transformation is intricate yet fun. Love how the arms fold like plastic origami)
Best non transformer: This hobby is so expensive, it doesn't leave room to collect anything else :P
Best Transformers One toy: SS Megs (crazy bastard looks identical to his CGI model, like the colors and the head design)
Best core class: Beast Machines Cheetor
Best deluxe class: Legacy Gears runner ups are SS TFone Optimus and Legacy Nucleous)
Best voyager: GE Ratchet (Runner ups are the Fractured friendship pack guys)
