The 10 Best Bumblebee Toys

#transformers #toys #bumblebee #volkswagen #camaro We all love Bumblebee, but some toys are better than others. Today we count down my Top 10 Bumblebee toys. Note on Missing Link: It's a nice piece, but I place it in the same catagory as Masterpiece. More of an adult collectable than a toy, above everything.

The Most Hated Transformers Toy

#transformers #toys #transformersg1 Being the second Transformers toy ever designed didn't help this Transformers G1 toy in the eyes of the community. Either you love it for what it really is or hate it for how it was presented to you. If you like today's video, I think we could make it a series of going back to these hated toys from Transformers History. ToysDownUnder Image Sources...

Working on Force of Will TCG / The Extra Deck Clip
Yep I enjoy Age of Extinction. It's not amazing or anything but I have a good time whenever I watch it. I also like that kinda the main human villain in that movie actually swaps sides and becomes a good guy. You don't see that happen often. He gets told that what he's doing is gonna cause trouble and he goes, "Yeah maybe this isn't a good idea." I had a huge crush on Blackarachnia as a kid and do kinda want attractive girl transformers. This is a children's toy franchise however and so this maybe is not the right franchise for such things. If you think Nicee is bad you should see FansToys Rouge. Now that is a ridiculous figure. I honestly don't really care what kinda truck Optimus is as long as he's some sort of truck. That said I do think that the truck he becomes in Age of Extinction is worse than the truck he was in the first 3 movies. I'll give maybe another hot take here. I want them to bring back super modes for Optimus. I've been watching Energon/Superlink lately and while I don't think the show is all that great seeing Optimus go into his super mode is always a treat.
Rogue is the one where the toy presents as G1 but the chest molding is busty? I totally agree on super modes. I'm actually surprised we don't see PM Prime more than we do, given it's the genesis of it. Even Energon Prime is a fun toy in its own right.
@@SGD_ToysDownUnder Yeah Rouge looks g1 but comes with a breasts addon. Like, human breasts, not metal. Wild stuff. I actually really like Energon Optimus' super mode. Would love an updated figure.
Give us legacy paddles you cowards!
Monkey paw. You get Paddles, but it's a Battle Master.
I said tfp is bad and I’d like to say I do like one thing about it the designs
Well, I'd say you like more about Prime than I do lol.
My hot take is... Replace "Age of Extinction" with "Transformers 2007" and you have mine. The first film wasn't trying to be anything particularly thought-provoking, it was intended as a fun action flick that doubled as a way to sell toys, and by god it succeeds. I honestly think the characters in that movie, from our protagonists the brave, yet awkward and panic-stricken Sam Witwicky and deceptively gifted and intelligent Mikaela Banes to the members of Sector Seven are actually mostly enjoyable to watch and don't outstay their welcome, whilst the Transformers themselves are treated as awe-inspiring and mighty. Plus, the sound design, action, and music are actually pretty exciting. It really isn't worthy of the hate, and there are much worse blockbusters from the 2000s out there than this movie out to strike awe and excitement in you whilst selling toys. Trust me, I've seen X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I know what I'm talking about. Transformers is PEANUTS in comparison to X-Men Origins.
I've seen Origins Wolverine a couple of times, I'm not sure I could compare them. X-Men is bad bad, Transformers is more a teen orientated movie of the time and growing up kinda hurts those. I will say though, the scene where S7 brings down Bumblebee? Still gets me. The emotion in the scene really works.
Who cares, it’s friggin roadpig
I love what IDW did with Thundercracker.
Unfortunately Hasbro has always been more interested in toy sales than story arcs.
Not exactly. Back in ye olde days, it used to be that the design staff would give the contracted media company the "playground", characters, setting, ect, and get them to make something. These days the story is made in California and everything is designed around that.
@@SGD_ToysDownUnder I stand corrected. Also, some have the IDW comics had some of the best writing. Not just TF comics, but in comics as a whole.
u've been heard ... very valuable video, love when people are free to share and argue their views
The closest we had to Thundercracker's true bio in the G1 cartoon was Fire on the Mountain (S01E09), where he hesitates to kill Skyfire, but then that's really only in a hope that the fall out will be on Starscream and not just for saving Skyfire's life. I think Thundercracker has a small cutscene in Transformers: Devastation too, where he briefly helps Prime after being shot down.
mitos y leyendas from chile is the very best tcg
walmart: we wont sell toy guns 2 aisles over they sell REAL GUNS walmart make it make sense.
I'm glad to finally see some positive ygo content. The game isn't perfect but this idea online that ygo is just bad really bothers me.
Siege is my favorite of the modern G1 Megatrons. Like implied, he follows in the spirit of Shockwave as being a sci-fi alt mode. It paints him as in the same category of that character. Plus, since he looks down on the humans, it's logical he'd see their technology as beneath him. He's only interested in plundering their resources.
*Best
I am waiting for Filmation Doom Tower and also Atak Trak. I don’t care for Snake Man and someone at Mattel obviously fixed the vote and has a hrard-on for Snake Men, lol
Looking back, I think itd be tight if Megatron turned into an SU-27 Flanker. In order to symbolize the rivalry between him & Starscream. That said the Flanker entered service in 1985. (a year after G1) And was not well known to the general public at the time.
Gun Megatron has some truly bizarre genitalia
You misspelled awesome as "problematic". Man I miss the 80's.
Time for CyberTruck Optimus Prime ....jk
It's not a problematic Alt-Mode, it's the US law that made it problematic. The Transformers/Diaclone were conceived with a lot of creativity in Japan unlike today everything is like a vehicle of some sorts. This is why Soundwave is the coolest toy/Transformers ever. A cassette deck and his tape of minions. What's not to love? Today's TF simply are devoid of creativity.
Yugioh feels like playing fucking tekken more than playing cards at times, no other game has the same level of explosiveness in a turn
I have that Ratchet and its so weird, he looks nothing like that in the cartoon and only has that appearance in early comics I believe.
The gun mode was just a bad idea, at any level but especially at the toy level for any kind of practical use, he doesn’t stand well. I took mine to school once, once! I was told toy guns were not allowed at schools. In the cartoon, a gun didn’t make sense, in an alternate universe, I wonder if they chose something else.
I def didn’t want headless robots. That it was a mech suit design makes so much more sense now. TY
Unrelated but can anyone tell me if mp10 is good?
Would’ve worked better as a junkion retool
As someone who grew up with the bay films and toys of the bay films so they hold a special place in my heart
That's going to be the case for a lot of people now. I know a lot is made of the fandom being fractured, but reinvention to capture a new generation is a good thing.
@@SGD_ToysDownUnder yeah
In the original concept art the staircase is a very eye catching part of the set. They really should have kept that, it looks way better than the snake head tower that replaced it. It could still fit in all of the current interior and even take up less horizontal space if they make it a triangular one piece, no need for hinges.
Of the three original seekers, to me, Thundercracker had a compelling personality: a transformer who believes in air superiority, yet, as a Decepticon, he became increasingly insecure. The G1 cartoon did him no justice (though I loved Stephenson's voice acting), but the IDW comics exploited his personality, even to the point of preferring Earth to Cybertron. This is why I prefer Thundercracker to both Starscream and Skywarp.
Ironhide's head seems a reduced Prime's head.
Aha, I was just about to mention the Baron from Gobots! He was odd. I never had Ironhide/Ratchet, so I wasn't aware of the anaemic nature, but I knew about the lack of head.
I like Go-Bots. Didn't think anything of them as a kid bar being cool robots and when I finally saw the cartoon fully, it's fine. Never the massive highs or lows of Transformers, but it's a perfectly fine cartoon. Mid but enjoyable all the way through.
@@SGD_ToysDownUnder Yeah. Even as a kid I thought of them as a cheapo version of TFs. Having said that, I had Cy-Kill, and it was top quality, really heavy and robust. One of the best transforming toys I ever had, whereas some Transformers were flimsy crap. Cy-Kill and Leader 1 were as good as TF leaders.
I love the fact that everyone call Bayverse O.P. a psycho superhero while praising ROTB O.P. for… being a psycho superhero
I ve started watching rescue bots with my 4 yr old son. He loves optimus prime. He wants to watch only the episodes where he appears. I guess, optimus must be a relic....🤔
Its great
There's so much wrong with this video I wouldn't even know where to start...
Back in the 80, i used to love the insecticons and dinobots, those were close to their cartoon design, anything else was disappointing, oompa loompa proportions
Is it a crime for me to think that I prefer Optimus to have flames on him?
Absolutely not. If anything, I think the traditional cab needs something to break up the sea of red it would have otherwise. Prime is the, ahem, prime example.
My biggest problem with modern Megatron designs is how the designers have the robot mode resemble his g1 counterpart as closely as possible while giving him an alternative mode that doesn't match. I.E. they want to have their cake and eat it too. I have the same problem with Soundwave and Blaster.
Autobot City is located at lookout mountain Chattanooga Tennessee dude
Not sure what Autobot City's location has to do with the location of the Ark's crash site.
@@SGD_ToysDownUnder Autobot City and the ark are so far apart from one another that is what I was trying to say
Michael Bay didn't want Autobots or even talking Transformers. He was fought by the fanbase and his own team and finally caved. Once he did, agreeing to cast Cullen was the right call, I'll give him that. But he didn't fix anything. It was the writers, design team, VFX team, and Cullen that revived the character. If anything, he was holding them back. Most shots that don't use CGI as a crutch look terrible, off-centre, shaky, and oversaturated. And he's still holding them back as a producer with Lorenzo di BonaVentura, so anyone saying they need Bay to "save the franchise" doesn't know what they're talking about.
And where did you get that from? A car tite from your backyard?
@@justnoob8141 That Bay and BonaVentura are fools is just my personal opinion. The rest are just facts for why I think that. He didn't want them speaking at all. He also doesn't design or animate the Transformers himself, so this video title is ridiculous. As for your second question, your neurons are firing too fast for someone who isn't socially indept to understand.
Ever since the movies, Optimus has had this world-weary sadness to him, it makes sense but it made Skybound Optimus returning to his “robot Superman” roots so refreshing. Optimus should be reinvigorated as person when he leads his Autobots to their new homeworld.
I own the original version of laser prime as well as the scourge version as well. That being said I still prefer to have the original g1 prime
Honestly I disliked the flames more. It's a bit gaudy and makes Prime come off as if he's an old guy trying to be cool. Not to mention flames are Hot Rods thing. As far as anachronistic, I prefer timeless. It has evolved from "Optimus is a cab over Semi" to "Every cab over semi is Optimus Prime". I mean, I know when I see the rare one in the wild, thats my first thought.
Hmm yes, timeless, like being sniped from 10 yards away
Or...and bear with me here.... over 150 other countries exist in the world that they sell transformers in other then the US... Next you will tell me the winner of the Superbowl is the World Champion lol
Most every single Transformers TV media is set in the US.
@@SGD_ToysDownUnder but toy sales are king. It's the whole reason for making the TV show.
