@@cameronmoriarty3313 but like she and Red Alert are supposed to be like a fast response supervisor car. But of course all the station wagons of the early 80s wasn't cool for kids so this toy company of the 80s had taken some liberties with their fire and ems chief vehicles and made them sports cars and 2 door coupes. I'm still waiting for a Transformer 4 door sedan police car. Cybertron Red Alert is probably the closest "station wagon" we got.
The one thing I love about this... Instead of renaming the character something stupid, the put in the effort to do some research and name it after the Greek version of the Roman goddess the character was named after.
Masterforce wasn't bad. The first half is the Headmaster Jrs and Pretenders then transitions to the Powermasters and becomes more serious. The Headmaster Jrs reminded me of how in Animated the Autobots changed into emergency vehicles to help handle human problems. It was a worthy addition to the lore and in a way linked to Scorponok's plan to repopulate the Decepticons.
7:51 If anyone picked up the November 2024 re-issue, be aware it looks like they changed the hood so it does not detatch anymore. No longer makes her a partsformer, but also means it's a bit trickier to transform. Just a heads up so no one tries to force the hood off and break it. The new connection looks different than it does here so I didn't try to force it to disconnect.
I'm going to say it: I like this look more than most of the recent attempts at female transformers. All it took was putting some of the alt-mode somewhere other than the backpack (and make no mistake, she still has a backpack, it's just not an entire car's worth)
Her original toy according to TFwiki was a redeco of Nightbeat, who wasn't released in Japan initially and would later be released there as a new version of Minerva.
Loved the skit at he end. At least he asked her to rise up rather than him doing the rising, that would be another level of wrongness in the Transformers world
Wait freaking Minerva from Masterforce? Talk about unexpected, though to be fair this is a third party one. I don’t expect Hasbro to make a new official Minerva any time soon. Takara definitely since they did Ginrai previously, but not Hasbro.
I think the closest we’re gonna get to an official new Minerva is the Titan Master of her head that came with a special edition of Legends God Ginrai. At least for the foreseeable future, Fans Hobby is gonna be our source for new Masterforce figures.
It's rare for one company to make a toy without the involvement of the other. Even figures like Big Powered and Super Megatron are (admittedly extensive) retools of existing figures. If Takara creates a new Minerva then it would likely be a retool of something else. And would probably end up on Hasbro Pulse anyway.
I love that Fans Hobby is doing Masterpiece styled figures that aren't G1. Don't get me wrong, G1 is great, but almost every company does their own spin on (insert popular G1 character here). I'm honestly stoked for their Naval Commander/Armada Optimus.
Probably a 3rd party transformers type of series. Maybe sued to the point the toys survived before the series got flagged by Hasbro. Or I am wrong and the series is still continuing
@@ryanmetcalfmightycreatorvr4247 huh, never knew she was a main title, the only thing close to her in my opinion is sideswipe in repaint, or red alert since red alert uses sideswipes molding

Hey emo, You have no clue who I am but I just wanna say thank you. Growing up, I absolutely loved transformers. I’ve probably watched the first 3 movies 200+ times. And with loving transformers comes the toys. I would watch your reviews for hours everyday and I would buy the ones you reviewed too. You were such an inspiration to me. I used to pretend I had a video camera set up, and review my own transformers just like you. My god I even kept the backs of the boxes to do the review of their stats. I would even start off my “videos” Hey guys it’s the freakin geek himself. As a kid I wanted to review my toys just like you. And don’t get my started on minion reviews. I absolutely loved it, you got me to believe that he was actually real since his voice didn’t sound like yours. To this day my favorite video has to be minion reviews stealth force barricade. I laughed so hard at him freaking out when the went into battle mode and him smacking the toy with this club. To this day I still remember having to quickly turn my volume down, if my parents were in the room, because you said hell. I hope things have been going well for you and thank you for making my childhood as memorable as it is. And don’t feel like you have to respond to this. I just felt like I had to thank the man I basically watched all day every day during my childhood
Oh my god. I almost forgot about you’re gaming channel. I loved watching you play transformers war for Cybertron. You doing megatrons voice and saying things like “starscream go make me a dark Energon sandwich” would always cheer me up. Honestly I’m just happy to see that your still uploading and having a good time. But thanks again for everything you have done for me. I wish you the absolute best.
Oh my god, I just realized how I would copy your videos down to the core. I would have different transformers next to me and I would compare sizes in car and robot form. I would even throw the packaging off to the side just like you. But I would just have the cardboard back piece so it would end up being a very young me absolutely winging these huge cardboard “throwing cards” in whatever direction I decided. I honestly sound pretty weird and I apologize for that.
I'm glad you reviewed this, sir! The reviews I watched a while back seemed either overly negative about the partsforming roof and some perceived inadequacies in the transformation vs other Fans Hobby figures, focused too hard on the fact that she transforms differently than the source material, or were like straight-up advertisements for the figure.

And Fans Hobby included some coupon codes, based upon how much you spend on your next purchase. Thanks again for doing Fans Hobby Athena review, or else I would have never know about this one.
I used to watch Masterforce back in the day and was really surprised most of the comments is from people who doesn't know the character, was the cartoon never aired in the USA?
I am legit surprised any company made a figure of a Super God Masterforce character, not complaining as it’s a series that’s kinda ignored most of the time, at least in the west, but this is cool!!
I believe that Minerva was a human who became the head for a Transector... which was a Transformer body with no spark... The mold for her character was sold as Nightbeat in the US.
@@akmalfakhruddin7285 thanx i never knew what the headmaster to siren was called i got the toy wrapped up in wrapping paper and missing the box back in the 80s
I love my, Athena. Thanks for the advice of shaving off the head catches. It works better now. Also thanks for the chest power levels. I was afraid if I did the full open it would break mine off. Now to wait for the police car and fire truck.... MB-13 & 14. The fire truck could be called Jose 'D.
Its kinda funny how you're talking about it being kind of a pain to get the headmaster inside the car and Im like... "its pretty god damn impressive that it fits AT ALL if you ask me"
Wish if there is a headmaster/weapon master that fits in vehicle, there would be a comparison with a Human Alliance human. That way you can see if the figs are compatible. Doesn't look like this one is 1/24 like the other Human Alliance figs though.
Just curious if you got the e-mail about the Ecto 1 activity book their sending out as a 13.50 extra for the Ecto 1 build and if you were going to include it in a video
If you can find Masterforce Subbed (oh dear Primus is that dub just BAD), it's worth a watch. It's a very, very different Transformer show, and by far the most Japanese of the three Japanese G1 series, and what I felt was the best of the three. I'd probably rank it up there with Prime or Beast Wars, so worth a watch if you haven't seen it... even if you have to sail the seven seas for it.
What do you think about the Pocket Toys PT-05 Bruticus. It’s 28cm high and seems to be of a pretty high quality. Everywhere I find it on Ebay it’s ALL titles saying “KO” probably because it’s a redesign of Warbatron. It does seem pretty solid though. Super tight joints (for the most part)
I like Minerva, but what I don't like about her is the fact that she's a child soldier, which is the worst thing you could do when recruiting new soldiers
People that complain about partsforming with a single part of the alt mode that comes off and becomes a shield or something obviously never grew up with G1, where half the character was separate pieces, including the fists and the head sometimes. Y'all sound like spoiled children complaining about ER Cliffjumper.
They could have still called it Minvera. Only Takara might complain. The show Masterforce is for Japanese 1990s kids, but it does have some interesting ideas. Shout Factory released the three series with subtitles in the 2000s if you want to hunt for them, and Headmasters, Master Force, and Victory are the US shout titles. Not a bad figure really. The originals were kind of weak.
A Porsche 959 medical vehicle, that's a really cool alt mode for an obscure TF character.
