    1. I’ve never really seen these two big boys in action, so it’s pretty cool to see something more in depth with them, even if they are a good chunk before my time 😅
    2. Speaking as a Transformers fan, no, we don’t understand the Godzilla Collaboration Figures either. Most seem to believe that the two figures were rushed out repaints in order to be released for Godzilla’s 70th Anniversary. I’m personally disappointed with them because of how well they’ve handled other Collab figures. Maybe one day we’ll get a better one someday as I am also a bit of a Godzilla fan.

    I’m not too picky about my transformers and I don’t mind partsforming, but I think these figures really show how the main toys have kind of lost something special. The play factor, the dumb gimmicks, we rarely see projectiles on mainline bots now, let alone big toys with walking and lights and sounds gimmicks. Heck even if you go back to just dark of the moon or transformers prime the toys were still designed to have gimmicks while also looking nice, and now it feels like everything is for just being looked at on a shelf unless it’s a half assed tv show or movie line. I love modern toys, but older tf toys with fun gimmicks like these just feel really special! Also love seeing you do a transformers video :)

    Yeah, the Transformers franchise has focused more on the Action Figure side to the detriment of them being toys. The last lines that really had a focus on great toyetic gimmicks were Armada, Energon, and Cybertron. As someone who's been alive for the entire franchise, I definitely recommend looking those up. (Armada Scavenger/Energon Treadbolt is a mold that I think would be right up your alley, it doesn't walk on its own but the feet do stomp as you push it along, and it has all kinds of sound effects in both modes.)

    • @lotto77102
      @lotto77102 Місяць тому +1

      Tbf I think it was Animated that was the last hurrah of the toy first mentality. It was the last show and/or major Transformers line I remember that had toys designed to be fun, not designed to be accurate to the screen and cheaper to produce. Early Prime had some of the same sauce but after the first edition toys it started leaning away from that pretty quickly.
      Is really noticeable how much more fun the UT toys are though lmao, got an Armada Hoist and Cybertron Dirt Boss recently and it's so funny how much more fun they are to play with than basically any modern Transformer I buy, they just _feel_ like better toys, even if they're more simple.

    For me personally, I would say the most FUN toys were made 40 years ago. Most transformers are well designed and look great these days, but they lack the pizazz the old ones had. That’s just my take though.

  • @AlexReynard

    As a Transformers fan, NONE of us know why Grimlock has a Megatron head. I think it's just that, whenever there's a crossover figure, it's always gonna be Optimus, Bumblebee, or Megs. Because sales. :/

    Despite being a huge collector, I've never ad a complete Omega Supreme. He's just a bit too Lego, and too expensive, and too hard to store. If I'd gotten him as a kid, I'd treasure him, but now it's just not quite worth the price to buy all his bits.

    Reason why the Godzilla transformers crossover uses Grimlock as a base for the mold is simply because it's a low cost remold. There's not a modern trypticon figure they could use instead, and even if there were, they'd probably use it for the mecha godzilla one that Optimus is being used for.

      @ИванВасецкий-л7е is there one newer than the 2017 Titans Return one? 2017 isn't exactly modern still. Besides that, it's massive, and that's probably too much for this crossover. Using Grimlock assures that it's affordable still.

    They didn't want to recolor/retool a titan for a crossover figure. Plus the size difference between the molds they used is drastic enough.
    I got the new remote controlled Optimus Prime a bit ago and he's fun. Sure he's one of those toys that doesn't actually turn off and he looks like he's been binging to many energon goodies but he's fun. It's his ridiculousness that makes me love him. Plus $40 is a steal for something that towers over most of the line.
