I mean, the wheeljack in the 5 pack is just the earthrise one with some new paint but if we’re exclusively talking about making a skybound shelf you don’t need anyone else (except jazz) from the pack so just stick with earthrise
The artist for the comic, Daniel Warren Johnson, has his own UA-cam channel and has talked about which toys he used to base the characters on. Masterpieces, third party toys, you'd be surprised what the actual shelf consists of!
Really appreciate you sticking with 1st party figures! 3rd party ones might be a bit more accurate, especially Prime since he's based off of one, but it's nice to keep this list assigned to toys that are actually easy to get.
That was a big deal to me in this video. I had someone point out that Masterpieces/3rd party would be the most accurate, but a collection of them could run hundreds, even thousands of dollars at this point. Besides, I’m more of a Mainline person anyway.
From being temporarily offlined by Scourge in _Rise of the Beasts_ to being offlined permanently in this comic, 2023 hasn't been very nice to Bumblebee.
That would be awesome! Maybe like a five pack so you can get the initial Autobot line-up with more comic-based paints jobs? I need Arcee to turn into a Lamborghini!
The funny thing is that, since the Ark didn´t fix Jazz, the origins vehicle mode makes more sense than the one he has in the comic. Btw, they didn´t say Titan class Devastator is coming, but SS86 listings now include Deluxes for Scavenger and Bonecrusher (both arms) and Voyagers of Scrapper and Mixmaster (both legs) so it might end that size. Also, I wonder if any of the TFOne figures will work for a Skybound shelf...
You know, I never thought of that! Cliff, Jazz, and Arcee should all still have their Cybertronian modes. I guess Ratchet just really got into car magazines. Someone else told me about the 86 Constructicons. I must have gotten things mixed up, but I honestly prefer it that way. It makes looking forward of future waves more exciting, and it wouldn’t hurt your wallet as much in the short term. Also, good point about TFOne figures! That Optimus from Studio Series looks really good, I could see it working out. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters about your personal shelf is if you like the figures or not. This vid is just my silly personal opinion.
It’s been an amazing book, and the best part of it is that it’s such a great introduction to Transformers. I have so many friends like you that were only Marvel or DC people, but this book was able to get on their radars.
It's the same as the Netflix, but more accurate color way, and core class rumble thrown in. Also, you can get the nemesis bridge set, with the GORGEOUS ER Meg's, Netflix soundwave, and shockwave without the leader fluff. For that matter a similar autobot set, with ss86 jazz with no clear plastic, a beautiful earthrise prime, with white legs, and mainframe that turns into teletran, so all 3 of those fit, plus the bridge crew gives you everyone since shockwave just showed up, and megs will show up. Also, there's the ss86 constructions coming soon, ss86 bee and blaster are already in people's hands. Not to mention leader class ss86 megs coming next year, and commander class ss86 prime will be dropped next month.
It’s insane how fast stuff gets announce and comes out. When I made this video, we didn’t even have photos of SS86 Bumblebee yet! Also, you’re totally on point about the bridge three packs.
I would love to see an updated version of this video to include the few new characters that have been shown and stuff plus Springer and hotshot because they are in void rivals
I can see it. I definitely prefer that Cliff due to not having translucent plastic, but the darker red hit my eye better for a comic shelf. At the same time, I think that’s a color choice that will change from person to person. Even still, Buzzworthy’s great.
@@MichaelBiggerstaff-h5i A part of me wonders if the transformer designers try harder on the characters who get less figures made of them. Like, do they know any Huffer could be the last one ever made, so they pull out all the stops when he comes up?
Skywarp and Thundercracker are very hard to find as of right now because of the aftermarket. Worse they were Target exclusives. Hopefully they get re-released individually in Studio Series 86 .
I'm actually started building my own Skybound Autobot team recently. I'm also doing some mods (mostly cosmetics) to make them almost accurate to the comic. I'm using: -Earthrise Cliffjumper. I removed the emblem on the hood and placed a new one on on the rooftop/chest. I even made the arms more accurate by removing the paint on the shoulders and repaint the forearms. Would have saved me a lot of work if I have gotten Buzzworthy Cliffjumper instead. Oh well. -SS86 Ratchet. I erased the emblem on the shoulders entirely, making it very accurate to the comic. I'm considering painting over the windows on the side in white (except on the driver's side and the front passenger's side) to match his vehicle mode in the comic. -SS86 Jazz. I bought a knockoff ToyHax sticker sheet just to spice up the look so he'd be less boring. I even gave him a miniature shotgun because that's his main weapon in the comic. -SS86 Arcee. I originally wanted to use my MMC Reformatted Azalea as the team's Arcee, but then I decided to buy SS86 Arcee just because that Arcee is much more accurate in design. I did made some minor change on her face. I removed her lips and sculpted a new lips that more accurate to the comic. Unfortunately I have to remove the pink paint on her face. And since I don't have any matching paints, I have to wait at least by the end of the month to get the paints I need. -Netflix Wheeljack. Unfortunately I couldn't get either Earthrise OR Kingdom version of him as they're either out of stock OR marked up at a Leader class price, so I ended up with the Netflix version. For Optimus, I originally considering getting the Earthrise version since it's getting a reissue. But now I decided to cancel that as I've planned on waiting for SS86 Optimus that should be out by the end of this year or next year. And I might get Siege Jetfire since he's also getting a reissue this year alongside Earthrise Optimus. As for Decepticon, I have a great difficulty trying to build that team since most of the ones that I wanted to get are either too expensive or sold out.
That’s an awesome collection! I wouldn’t worry to much about your Decepticons, though! Aside from Reflector, all those guys are evergreen! You’ll get a chance to pick up a version of them before too much longer, I’m sure!
Hey, I remembered you talking about Decepticons. I was the Big Bad Toy Store today, and I saw a three pack called “Transformers Dramatic Capture Series Nemesis Bridge” The three pack has Earthrise Megatron, Siege Soundwave, and Netflix Soundwave (Laserbeak included) all bundled together with new paint jobs, and includes a throne for Megatron. If you were looking for those characters in particular or those molds, that might be an interesting set to look into!
Update. Leader class ss86 sound wave is out now. 55 but whatever. Obviously the tapes would be the ones for this guy and all you're missing is frenzy, but he is out as a core class.
@@ronbondujon9690 I mean, yeah but that's not really your fault is it? Lol. That's why I worded it the way I did. Just as a video update a few months later. Still a VERY good video, like all the others. The passage of time is time passing, the passage of time is like a passage, of time. Lmao. If ya know ya know.
@@MichaelBiggerstaff-h5i Oh, I didn’t take it as you trying to be rude, I’m just agreeing with you! I still like this video, but it was always going to have a short shelf life. I know the writer in the book announced he would step back at issue 24, so my plan is to wait until then and make an update to honor his awesome run!
0:19 man i got lucky that my lcs pulls a copy of all variants of each issue/month and gives them all to me for cover price which never happens with 1:10s 1:25s ect., Void rivials as well. I just dropped in the month before #1 came out and hes always had them all waiting for me no matter when i show up each month. Got very lucky it seems lol awesome story so far
I have found this series SO AMAZING!! I have been lucky enough to find the comics at my local comic store, and I have been reading them all, I sadly only have one figure that would work on a skybound shelf though (legacy Elita-1)
Hey, any figure you want works on your shelf. If you have an Optimus, you don’t have to match it to mine. All of this is my opinion, but your collection is whatever you want it to be. I’m just happy more people are enjoying the series.
I loved all the Transformers comics but IDW and DW are still my favorite Skybounds good but I'm just loved the Art an story's of IDW. Just fount the War for Cybertron comic prequel to the game was not aware how much it was worth I got it at a comic shop in the Transformers older comics bin. Also the Cybertron Graphic Novel all about Vector Prime pretty awesome.
IDW 1.0 is always going to be my favorite continuity, and Dreamwave was a delight. I forget about the WFC comics, but they were awesome! I remember the storyline where it was basically Ultra Magnus and the Dinobots going around fighting Shockwave.
I have Siege [as well as G2 and Reactivate] Optimus, Legacy G2 Jazz, Earthrise Arcee, Bumblebee [as well as 86] Ratchet, and Bumblebee Wheeljack. I am thinking about getting WFC Cliffjumper next. Is that a good Skybound lineup?
Any line-up you like is a good one! This video is just my opinion, but it’s by no means objective fact. Quite frankly, I think it sounds like you have an awesome shelf! The figures that make you happy are the ones that make your best collection.
I’ve decided to collect skybound figures based only on volume 1 because I don’t have that much space, so for autobots I’d pick ss86 prime with a custom megatron arm I found on eBay, ss86 arcee, bb ss86 cliffjumper, ss86 dead ratchet(there is a reason), autobots stand united jazz, wheeljack and siege jetfire, the deceptions I’ll get are exactly like in video except I’ll get the legacy united soundwave and ss86 Devastator, I chose all those autobots because they have blue cartoonish windows that match together nicely, and I’ve got dead ratchet since he also has those windows, my only issue is that I’m not sure to get jetfire, in g1 he was big but not like Devastator big, that would really annoy me
That’s a sweet line-up! It honestly reminds me that I need to update this video, and soon. I’d like to get to the end of this current arc and then I’ll redo it.
I actually got the Siege Megatron with the 35th Anniversary Cell-Shaded paint job. That’s been my definitive G1 Megatron so far. We’ll see how that SS86 version turns out, I guess.
When I first recorded this, I forgot it was coming out this year and didn’t have a photo of the prototype. I actually recorded a spectate clip to mention it, but then never added it into the video😂
That is totally on point! The only reason I shied away from it is the figure doesn’t perfectly match with ER Skywarp and Thundercracker and doesn’t have a full trio of his own. That said, I think you’re completely right that Coronation Screamer is just an outright replacement for Earthrise Starscream.
What a great figure, and they released him a few times! They’re doing a Studio Series 86 Megs, and a small part of me is really hoping he turns into the gun since SS is all about screen-accuracy.
I think that’s a question above my pay grade, I mostly just talk toys! Even still, I think what he’s doing now makes sense. They found the Decepticon base while the cons are low on energy and are pressing their advantage.
@@Overlord_of_Cacti Oh, I follow! Well, the Earthrise figure can put Megatron’s arm cannon on. I suppose you could paint it silver, but it wouldn’t match up in verticals mode, and putting on a different arm would make Optimus unable to transform. So the best option might still just be to paint it and just pretend his smokestack isn’t there.
optimus is pure badass in the comics with I think was a good idea because bumblebee movie optimus would beat 30 decepticons on his own cliffjumper getting some spotlight is nice because g1 is definitive for him arcee being in the main line up is clearly a callback to transformers prime wheeljack being there just like ROTB ratchet being there is consistent like the first three films
@@Kak37I said it in the video, but my three favorite Autobots are Ratchet, Arcee, and Optimus, so I’m obviously having a blast with them being front and center. Cliff is a pet favorite of mine going all the way back to his 2007 movie figure being one of my first ever transformers, while Wheeljack and Jazz are the definitions of Old Reliables. Needless to say, I’m loving the team so far!
@@Kak37Nothing wrong with that, Prime had a really solid line-up! I do think that it’s funny that Ratchet has been given the permanent upgrade to “Optimus’ Old War-Buddy”, and Arcee has become a mainstay of basically every autobot team. As for Cliff, Wheeljack, and Jazz, they’re just fun to see again.
Issues 7 and 8. In issue 7, it’s her, Kup, Warpath, and Huffer fighting to get into Shockwave’s fortress. In issue 8, she trying to save Ultra Magnus, who Shockwave had been torturing. If you’d like to find out more about Elita-1, I actually just posted a video today about her and all of her toys/appearances in fiction!
I saw that! I intend to make an update of this video to include the newer characters, but that won’t be out for awhile. But still, in two months I now need to include Astrotrain, Shockwave, and the Combaticons! That’s not even getting into Void Rivals brining in Springer and Rodimus.
That would be a lot of fun. We already could add Hot Rod, Springer, Shockwave, and Astrotrain. I also made a video similar to this one yesterday. It’s all about Soundwave and the many different cool and weird toys he’s had over the years.
I’ve been trying to figure out a new topic. I’m thinking about either doing one about IDW More than Meets the Eye, or G1 Season 1. Right now, though, I’m just doing more action figure histories for Transformer characters.
@@ronbondujon9690 they might do a rerelease with all constructicons as a devastator set like they did with Menasor and Rotf devastator. But next year I think the leaks only have 4-5 of the constructicons so a box set won’t happen till 2026-2027
@@HolyCow0273That would make sense, and it would at least let Studio Series have a few planned figures for a year. Every year I think, “Surely, they must be running out of designs”, and each time, Hasbro decides to expand what the word “Studio” can mean!
Newage is putting out some of the best Transformers stuff ever, absolutely! The only issue with Newage is it can be price prohibitive. The figures are worth the money, absolutely, but they carry a high price tag.
@@Cheesimusprime2012 Sick! It’s always cool to get an early toy like that! I remember when I was younger, I found all the POTP figures months before they were supposed to go out.
Technically speaking, Studio Series 86 Jazz would be the best option. Personally I think it’s an alright toy, but feelings on the toy is besides the point. 86 Jazz looks the most accurate to the Skybound version, in both modes. That said, the only difference would be the black stripes added to Skybound Jazz, though if you’re skilled, you could add the stripes. To be honest, all of the alternate modes in Skybound are mostly original, with no exact equivalents in plastic form, so I’d go with the closest equivalents.
You’re on point, I guess I’m just not as good at removing my biases😂. Alongside that, the vehicles modes are all mostly going to be issues. I’d kill for an Arcee that turns into a Lamborghini, but that’s probably never going to happen.
That one is a really solid option, and I like the painted windshield more. My only issue with it is that it was hard to get for awhile, whereas Earthrise Cliff is still pretty easy to find.
@@billloney2567 You’re absolutely on point! I didn’t see that coming when I made this video, but it really has become the best option for Cliff nowadays.
@ronbondujon9690 Though one thing I should warn you about is that on my copy at least, he has some paint chipping issues, so just keep an eye out for that if you ever decide to get it
Buzzworthy Cliffjumper Autobot multipack Wheeljack Autobot multipack Jazz LG Arcee 86 Ratchet with Toyhax cel shaded window stickers Earthrise Optimus with Toyhax window stickers and Megatron’s cannon
True, but that many Masterpieces is kinda, well, price prohibitive. Then again, characters like Optimus, Arcee, and Starscream have a lot of options even with Masterpiece.
I MESSED UP! Cybertron/Origins Wheeljack is sold on his own, a separate Wheeljack is in the 5-Pack. Even still, I stick with Earthrise as my pick.
I was going to point that out
I mean, the wheeljack in the 5 pack is just the earthrise one with some new paint but if we’re exclusively talking about making a skybound shelf you don’t need anyone else (except jazz) from the pack so just stick with earthrise
@@ADashundthatanimatesTo be fair, I only found out because someone else commented about it😂.
@@TheMushroomMeisterI was the best kind of correct there is: technically! 😂
I want to get the 5 pack for the wheeljack and jazz
Earthrise skywarp’s screaming expression is perfect for *that* moment in the comics.
You know, that’s actually genius! I didn’t even think about how well that works.
The artist for the comic, Daniel Warren Johnson, has his own UA-cam channel and has talked about which toys he used to base the characters on. Masterpieces, third party toys, you'd be surprised what the actual shelf consists of!
That’s so cool! I need to check that video out, it would be cool to see Johnson’s collection.
Really appreciate you sticking with 1st party figures! 3rd party ones might be a bit more accurate, especially Prime since he's based off of one, but it's nice to keep this list assigned to toys that are actually easy to get.
That was a big deal to me in this video. I had someone point out that Masterpieces/3rd party would be the most accurate, but a collection of them could run hundreds, even thousands of dollars at this point. Besides, I’m more of a Mainline person anyway.
From being temporarily offlined by Scourge in _Rise of the Beasts_ to being offlined permanently in this comic, 2023 hasn't been very nice to Bumblebee.
No, the boy’s been put through the ringer. Poor Bumblebee.
Tbh, I would love to see Skybound Optimus Figure that also allows Meg’s arm to be attached on Optimus and transform
That would be awesome! Maybe like a five pack so you can get the initial Autobot line-up with more comic-based paints jobs? I need Arcee to turn into a Lamborghini!

If you want a gun Megatron, but don't like the colors of the Classics mold, you can try importing the Henkei Megatron, but that will cost extra.
What a great figure, and they released him a few times! They’re doing a Studio Series 86 Megs, and a small part of me is really hoping he turns into the gun since SS is all about screen-accuracy.
How would you recommend a way for Optimus to "go on the offensive"?
I think that’s a question above my pay grade, I mostly just talk toys! Even still, I think what he’s doing now makes sense. They found the Decepticon base while the cons are low on energy and are pressing their advantage.
@@ronbondujon9690 I meant giving him Megatron's arm
@@Overlord_of_Cacti Oh, I follow! Well, the Earthrise figure can put Megatron’s arm cannon on. I suppose you could paint it silver, but it wouldn’t match up in verticals mode, and putting on a different arm would make Optimus unable to transform. So the best option might still just be to paint it and just pretend his smokestack isn’t there.
I hope Hasbro re-releases Siege Refraktor because he is going outrageous prices on the aftermarket.
That would be great!
so far i surprisingly have the right characters from the skybound comics take of the autobots
Right on! How do you like them?
optimus is pure badass in the comics with I think was a good idea because bumblebee movie optimus would beat 30 decepticons on his own cliffjumper getting some spotlight is nice because g1 is definitive for him arcee being in the main line up is clearly a callback to transformers prime wheeljack being there just like ROTB ratchet being there is consistent like the first three films
@@Kak37I said it in the video, but my three favorite Autobots are Ratchet, Arcee, and Optimus, so I’m obviously having a blast with them being front and center. Cliff is a pet favorite of mine going all the way back to his 2007 movie figure being one of my first ever transformers, while Wheeljack and Jazz are the definitions of Old Reliables. Needless to say, I’m loving the team so far!
@@ronbondujon9690 so far the team just brings back memories of transformers prime cartoon
@@Kak37Nothing wrong with that, Prime had a really solid line-up! I do think that it’s funny that Ratchet has been given the permanent upgrade to “Optimus’ Old War-Buddy”, and Arcee has become a mainstay of basically every autobot team. As for Cliff, Wheeljack, and Jazz, they’re just fun to see again.
What comic does the cybertron scene with elita happen?
Issues 7 and 8. In issue 7, it’s her, Kup, Warpath, and Huffer fighting to get into Shockwave’s fortress. In issue 8, she trying to save Ultra Magnus, who Shockwave had been torturing.
If you’d like to find out more about Elita-1, I actually just posted a video today about her and all of her toys/appearances in fiction!
@@ronbondujon9690 thx mate!
Just wait a minute on soundwave, and get the ss86 leader class with core rumble, ravage, and buzzsaw.
I saw that! I intend to make an update of this video to include the newer characters, but that won’t be out for awhile. But still, in two months I now need to include Astrotrain, Shockwave, and the Combaticons! That’s not even getting into Void Rivals brining in Springer and Rodimus.
You should do a part two when more characters show up
That would be a lot of fun. We already could add Hot Rod, Springer, Shockwave, and Astrotrain.
I also made a video similar to this one yesterday. It’s all about Soundwave and the many different cool and weird toys he’s had over the years.
You should do more videos like these.
I’ve been trying to figure out a new topic. I’m thinking about either doing one about IDW More than Meets the Eye, or G1 Season 1. Right now, though, I’m just doing more action figure histories for Transformer characters.
The studio series Devastator will not be sold as a titan class figure as of now. Leaks suggest that the constructicons will be sold separately.
I hadn’t heard that! It makes sense though, sell them just like ROTF Devastator.
@@ronbondujon9690 they might do a rerelease with all constructicons as a devastator set like they did with Menasor and Rotf devastator. But next year I think the leaks only have 4-5 of the constructicons so a box set won’t happen till 2026-2027
@@HolyCow0273That would make sense, and it would at least let Studio Series have a few planned figures for a year. Every year I think, “Surely, they must be running out of designs”, and each time, Hasbro decides to expand what the word “Studio” can mean!
14:53 Soundwave jumpscare
He be spooky like that.
Did it on ko masterpiece. Looks great but I'll miss my little brother. Btw good knowledge, I'm def getting that ultra magnus 🤤
Is everything okay with your brother? I mean, thank you very much for the compliment, but is everything alright?
did you sell your brother to buy it? i mean i would do the same but
I'd argue ss86 Ultra Magnus is the definitive choice for a skybound Magnus. He's also just a great toy and my personal favorite tf figure
This is where I have to admit my bias! That Magnus is great and it probably would work better, I just love the Combiner Wars guy too much!
If you wanted a Legend scale collection I would go for Newage
Newage is putting out some of the best Transformers stuff ever, absolutely! The only issue with Newage is it can be price prohibitive. The figures are worth the money, absolutely, but they carry a high price tag.
Beachcomber lives!
I saw that in the new issue! I’m so happy, Beachcomber is one of my all time favorites. I hope he gets to do some cool stuff in the comic.
I managed to get ss86 ratchet a month before its release
Oh, cool! Did you find a shop that put him out early?
@@ronbondujon9690 no I got it from entertainment earth
@@ronbondujon9690I don’t know why I didn’t respond earlier but it got shipped from entertainment earth early
@@Cheesimusprime2012 Sick! It’s always cool to get an early toy like that! I remember when I was younger, I found all the POTP figures months before they were supposed to go out.
Technically speaking, Studio Series 86 Jazz would be the best option. Personally I think it’s an alright toy, but feelings on the toy is besides the point. 86 Jazz looks the most accurate to the Skybound version, in both modes. That said, the only difference would be the black stripes added to Skybound Jazz, though if you’re skilled, you could add the stripes. To be honest, all of the alternate modes in Skybound are mostly original, with no exact equivalents in plastic form, so I’d go with the closest equivalents.
You’re on point, I guess I’m just not as good at removing my biases😂. Alongside that, the vehicles modes are all mostly going to be issues. I’d kill for an Arcee that turns into a Lamborghini, but that’s probably never going to happen.
I’d rather wait for the Studio Series 86 Constructicons.
I can’t wait to see what they look like! I NEED a good Scrapper!
A lot has happened in the month since this video dropped lol
Ain’t that the truth😂
SS86 Prime is a thing now
It’s true. This video gets more outdated by the day.
Now for Optimus the SS86 Optimus is the best. IMO anyway.
It’s a great looking toy, that’s for sure! This video just becomes more outdated by the day.
An even better Cliffjumper you could use in my opinion is SS86 Cliffjumper
That one is a really solid option, and I like the painted windshield more. My only issue with it is that it was hard to get for awhile, whereas Earthrise Cliff is still pretty easy to find.
@@ronbondujon9690 SS86 Cliff has actually dropped in value, a lot of the time you can actually find one for less than the Earthrise figure
@@billloney2567 You’re absolutely on point! I didn’t see that coming when I made this video, but it really has become the best option for Cliff nowadays.
@ronbondujon9690 Though one thing I should warn you about is that on my copy at least, he has some paint chipping issues, so just keep an eye out for that if you ever decide to get it
Underated
Yeah, but this is comic is picking up speed! All the comic shops in my area have to keep ordering more and more from people getting in on the series.
@@ronbondujon9690 I was saying you were underated lol
@@_MECHA_ Oh, well thank you! In all seriousness, that means a lot. I’m just happy people seem to be enjoying the video.
@@ronbondujon9690 it's a great video! :)

"Wooljack"
My southern accent was fighting to break out 😂
@@ronbondujon9690 was wondering what region you were from. Nice video, you got me to start pricing a generations warpath.
@@papatubez3062Especially if you can get a good deal on him, he’s a really fun figure. The way his turret works in tank mode is insane.
Legacy Evolution Soundwave
Yeah, he was announced a few weeks after I made this video. It’s funny how quickly this video became outdated😂
@@ronbondujon9690yep
Skyfire has recently rereleased
I saw that! Even still, I thought I’d future proof this video. With how great this Skyfire is, once that release sells out it’ll be expensive.
Ss 86 cliffjumper
It’s a good one!
Buzzworthy Cliffjumper
Autobot multipack Wheeljack
Autobot multipack Jazz
LG Arcee
86 Ratchet with Toyhax cel shaded window stickers
Earthrise Optimus with Toyhax window stickers and Megatron’s cannon
That’s a really good line up! I didn’t take Toyhax into account, but they really do take a great figure into being something really special!
Make masterpiece an option and this video is pointless.
True, but that many Masterpieces is kinda, well, price prohibitive. Then again, characters like Optimus, Arcee, and Starscream have a lot of options even with Masterpiece.
I made this post, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxdUTYdBaAJHhdUlvWSocA3GRUAXFDxiRH?si=IAh5vop0IhH7MCDo
It looks sick! Are those the Yolopark models?
@@ronbondujon9690 yup!
