Super excited for MMC Defensor - I will be getting 2 sets just like I did for their Bruticus. I think the all-built-in gimmick is an engineering marvel. The vehicle modes were great and the robot modes resembled so close to the toon.
MMC looks great! I may be in on it unlike their bruticus because I do not have a good Defensor yet. It may be too small for me but I can cheat! We need to see XTB combined mode!
I’ve read zeta sold all their combiners that they were going to make. That’s why different companies are making them and they are sticking with the ones they have already made.
Goodness Gracious!! I was waiting for this video!! Mike! As always great video! Definitely looking forward to those mmc ocular max Protectobots. Yes, they are too small in combine mode. But they look and feel great in individual Bot modes. Not gonna lie that Raiden looks good in combine mode, but god knows what Garbage Quality is going to be if its actually Zeta. 🌟♥️
So I am hearing Zeta sold that mold and it is another company that will be starting with this mold and not Zeta. Who really knows? I need to do an interview with My ShowZ guys. Thanks
I like the idea of combiner parts being part of the bots. I understand that MMC combiners are not gonna be in scale. He’ll, I’m buying the Fanstoys Stunticons-they are definitely not in scale. Stunticons should be in scale with other car Autobots. It’s nice to see Defensor is getting some love.
Thanks for the compliments. I like what MMC is doing but the Brut is a bit stylized although the Defensor is super G1. Retrowed is next because I am collecting 15+ vintage lines and it sure is fun that I want to share. I have some MP reviews and discussions on the way.
Great news show! Packed with great bot release info. @ 8:53 Awesome! I can't wait for Autobot X! I'm glad XTB seems to be focusing on the 1986 movie and Japanese characters. @ 10:57 The Omnibots were an enigma to me when I was a kid. I didn't know where they came from in Transformers lore, and they looked so blingy with all those stickers. Totally forgot about these bots. Sooo glad they're getting made. 👍👍😁
Hmmm, now we have to decide between XTB or MMC Protectobots.. I'm gonna hold off until I can finally assemble my XTB Menasor and see how it holds up. It's frustrating that if you wait for the last bot to become available, the first one sells out. The MMC Bruticus looks cool, but it's too late to start buying the set. Good to see the Omnibots though! Will definitely grab them. The Maketoys Thrust might be a good alternative to the needlessly difficult to acquire Hasbro iteration.
Best news was seeing XTransbots making the Omnibots. That makes me very happy. Overdrive is the only Omnibot I had as a kid. I still have him. Something about a flying car with guns just wowed me. Tracks is a favorite of mine too for same reason.
That MMC Deathsaurus is the IDW version. Wonder why they didn't show the G1 version....Both supposed to be about 11 inches, so at least MP scale but a smidge on the small side for him. I am really geeked about the XTB version, but that's years away so probably going to get the MMC next spring anyway (fingers crossed). Still want that Zeta Predaking too! The Cang toys version looks great, but a bit styled for my taste, though I would gladly use it if Zetas version is shelved.
Oh man my beloved Defensor... for its size I believe I´ll go for the X-transbots one, the mmc ocular max looks as the good old g1 toy but a bit small for my taste though. What about the Generation Toy Hot Spot release? we have been waiting it for a long time... If there is a X-transbots Protectobot member soon I am afraid I will have to sell my GT ones... About the rest of the Coneheads, no more til 2021? that lets me down : /... good news as always Tydirium! : )
@@walkers198 don't hold ya breath on generation toys, they haven't even finished their defensor, don't know what's the deal why they haven't released their foo fighter aka hot spot to finish that set 🤷🏾♂🤷🏾♂🤷🏾♂
I held off on Gen toys because I felt there will eventually be a combiner war for all the different combiners. Seems Defensor is next and I have a theory why...
MMC blurred out their Streetwise and Groove as an indication they are not really complete yet. If you watch the transformation video they don't transform like the other three, they just sort of pop into the next mode. They did similar with Brawl and Blast Off when they first announced the Combaticons, except instead of blurring they were darkened.
The reason is simple, they made individuals they size they wanted, then combined mode is simply the size it comes to without partsforming. Personally I will wait for FT Defensor for now.
I'm telling you, MakeToys is done... They've been promising those stupid coneheads for over two years now, and we've only gotten one and it was called Endgame, LOL... Then there is that Jazz (DownBeat) repaint that supposed to have been out and so far we got nothing, they just keep pushing it back... The Mastermind creations Rescue bots looked cool, might pick those up, those Omni bots too, they look awesome!

Yes I have not spoken about my extreme lack of knowledge of those lines but I am finding so many cool figures I missed out on back in the day. Thanks for the info
9:48 do you know how your Iron Trans Star Saber's size compares to the MP? What I've read is XTB Deathsaurus is sized to look eye-to-eye with MP-24 Star Saber combined with KFC Victory Leo (Since XTB/KFC are essentially one company it makes sense). If it is the same size as the MP it should work the same.
Maketoys stylized...it's their CHUG friendly Cross Dimension line. (It was there in the designation, "MTCD-06"). The new Planet X Grimlock is IDW styled (apparently, that warrants a different name; "Cacus" instead of "Vulcun"). Gonna guess that if they dive further into IDW designs, they'll give future releases of characters different names as well. Zeta Superitron vs. Zeta Superitron Mini...yes, I think you should do a comparison video. And it's Legends scale? I'm interested. Throws a gorilla wrench into the Legends game (since Magic Square's doing Menasor and Iron Factory did Bruticus & Baldigus/Ruination; now we need a better Devastator than that crappy DX9 "Hulkie" and all the KOs)...yesss. MMC typically deals in CHUG (despite their Ocular Max sub-line for MPs), and then it's typically IDW styled (just look at their CHUG scaled Azalea mold). If their Deathsaurus in robot mode can stand at about the same height as Titans Return Soundwave/Overlord/Sixshot or Power of the Primes Optimus Prime/Rodimus Prime/Optimal Optimus *bare minimum*...it should match fairly well with a MP Starsaber. It'll probably be a better match for that Iron Trans one (also seems IDW styled), whereas the XTB one will be a better match for Takara's MP24 Starsaber. MMC Defensor? Meh. Speaking of Defensor, I think that Jinbao did an oversized KO of the Maketoys one that may or may not be on par with the Jinbao KOs of Generation Toy Devastator, Warbotron Bruticus, & MMC Predaking. And none of those are on par with Zeta, Toyworld, XTB, FansToys, or DX9...
Yes Superion legends is superior! MMC is usually on the smaller side but seems bigger than Chug but seems a good fit. I had Takara Starsaber and it was too plain. Irontrans is way better and does not veer too far off from toon almost as if Fanstoys made Star Saber.
You mentioned that those Zeta Aerialbots look more toon, but a lot of those changes were made for the "Metallic" repaint. If you go look at the individual bots for ZB01-ZB05 vs ZB06, it is obvious they repainted much closer to the toon model. A few things look better for the legends though, like the faces.
Yes I feel your pain! There is a story behind all my mail ins that I actually cut out of this video to make it shorter and more concise. Will share one day!
Man the X-Transbots Camshaft looked awesome. I especially liked the bot mode. I loved the Overdrive alt mode but I wasn't too into the head. I hope we can see Downshift soon too. Great looking bots. That is great news for X-Transbots. I'm happy MMC is going to keep doing their All-In-One for Defensor. I'm not into that character or the individual bots but I think it will sell well and I love seeing them continue to knock out these bots. I hope after this they do the Constructicons as an All-In-One. I wish they would have shown off what their next Reformatted Line offerings are for MMC. I'm a huge fan of this line.
I'm definitely looking forward to MMC'S defensor, spot on G1 all the way on combine mode AND the individual bots themselves alt mode and bot more, definitely picking that one up and that ( use to be ) zeta toys raiden train team look outstanding, must have!!! 😁😁😁😁😁
Would like to see the coneheads before anything else from MakeToys. Also was hoping to see the XTB trailer, but I think I will have to pick two of each Omnibot. Would also like to see a picture of the XTB combine mode for Defensor
Yes to XTB combine mode for Defensor why did they not lead with that?? I feel most collectors want the first 3 of Maketoys more than coneheads. Still better than MP11 but Takara's new mold is not proven yet and Maketoys may still win.
In other news, dalianjj finally responded to not showing up and confirmed that all releases past FT-44 are delayed. Check the FT releases thread on TFW2005 for more details.
@@tydiriumhanger1320 Yeah, it is nice that I can focus on other stuff for now, but still worrying. Most likely rumor I've heard is they lost their factory partner and had to regroup. I'm oddly happy I missed out on FT-44 since QC and support was lacking due to whatever happened, so hopefully the next run are golden when this is all resolved.
Yeah that's straight from IDW the Lost Light book's design. From what I hear it's around 10 inches tall too, so much taller than Planet X's other dinobots from years back.
Cool 😎 vid. Glad to see Maketoys still has seeker plans. Sucks there is noting mentioned about Fanstoys. Hopefully they are still on schedule for the rest of the year. Really want that Dragstrip.
I always make fun of Fanstoys releasing a new render every TFcon that they're not going to release in the next five years but now that they didn't have any new renders this TF con I'm starting to worry that the rumors are true that they are shutting down.
I felt they have restructured to play catch up. At one point in time they had 21 revealed figures and were over 3 years behind. Let them get back on track but if they go under is would be a huge loss to the community. Thanks
Zeta has made some mistakes but their combiners look great in combined mode! They along with Toyworld constructor set the MP standard for combiners size.
@@tydiriumhanger1320 Oh, for sure on both points. Hoping cang toys pred combiner scales well also. I know it's a bit stylized but the 2 releases so far have been so good that I don't mind at all.
That planet x grimlock looks heavily based on the mtmte (idw) design for grimlock. Sort of how their star saber was based on idw star saber. And since idw is my favourite continuity with my favourite designs, I'm really happy that they're doing this. I'm happy that any stylized designs are coming out at all. The past couple years have been overloaded with g1, and, to be honest, g1 designs are so common nowadays that they've started to look quite bland and boring. So while the 3rd party g1 toys are fine and all, it's good that there is going to be some variety.
I feel that is part of why Fanstoys was not there. Maketoys and XTB have some to prove now. MMC has delivered on all their promises although I passed on most in search of greener pastures. Thanks
I heard a rumor about the Stunticons trailer. I heard that they haven't released it yet because they're remodeling the trailer to make the combined mode bigger, any heard this?
The fact that MAKETOYS has decided that it is cool to make accessories exclusive to their forth reissue of Meteor is super disappointing. Why not just release an upgrade kit for those of us that supported the first release. I mean they made us suffer through the wing fillers already and now this!? Guess I am done buying first releases from them because the better version of their popular stuff is enevitable.
I'm pretty sure theyll release the blast effects and things like that separately after the release of the exclusive, like they did with the wing fillers
Wish there was info to really discuss this but I have the dark face version also and leaned on the $300 Takara to fix it. They should offer free head upgrades to all previous buyers lie TE and others
It sure took me by surprise that Maketoys went full on MMC with their alternate line. We do have enough G1 shockwave choices so it makes sense to go with an all new design.
@@tydiriumhanger1320 Should fit in nicely with that line, I'm not a G1'er since the country I grew up in had rubbish TV so I always go for versions that I like the design of rather than accuracy to the original cartoons.
I dread seeing the prices of the XTB stuff. I think it might be overpriced for my acquisition. For $80 of the cars I might do it but more than that I dunno.
I felt they have restructured to play catch up. At one point in time they had 21 revealed figures and were over 3 years behind. Let them get back on track but if they go under is would be a huge loss to the community. Thanks
XTransbots will make a lot of money in 2021, if they can stay on schedule and release all these reveals on time. Those Omnibots still have me salivating for them!!! I'm so in on their Protectobots!!! I love their Stunticons regardless if the trailer hasn't been released yet. Zeta Toys/Moon Studios or whatever aliases they're using nowadays will also make money the New Year. That Legends scale Superion does look better than the MP version. That Raiden looks magnificent!!! You need to watch the Headmasters anime to learn about them. Definite money maker right there. MMC stuff looks great and we all knew they'd do an all in one Defensor and that Star Convoy looks awesome but I wish they would concentrate on their Ocular Max G1 line a little more than the IDW line. I wanted a Preceptor from them. No FansToys, no DX9, no NewAge, no Magic Square. You got any info on why they didn't show anything?
I felt ft have restructured to play catch up. At one point in time they had 21 revealed figures and were over 3 years behind. Let them get back on track but if they go under is would be a huge loss to the community. DX 9 is hit an miss on reveals and legends reveal so regularly they do not need these events. Thanks
Is it too early for me to wish for someone to ko and upscale that zeta legends class superion!?!? Hey Mike! We got those omnibots! Nice! I have G1 overdrive and for as hard of a time as I have just getting him to stand up I still love him. These 3p ones are epic!
The maketoys shockwave is a remold of their cross demensions megatron. Part of their cross demensions line. It’s a great line that’s what transformers should start to become. All the figures in this line are great so far. Their jet fire is amazing.
The animated video of them combining shows the feet of Defensor coming from the back of Hot Spots Legs. You have to pause it at just the right time to see it!
Why is it so bad that Third-Party companies are putting out stylized models? The more they separate from Hasbro/Takara's toys, the less trouble it would be for them and the more interesting figures could come out. Yes, it sucks that G1 and such aren't getting as much attention, but instead we are getting more intriguing figures for a more modern collection.
I felt they have restructured to play catch up. At one point in time they had 21 revealed figures and were over 3 years behind. Let them get back on track but if they go under is would be a huge loss to the community. Thanks
Nice to see these companies still working on new things. Xtransbots and MMC, particularly. People have been calling for a Defensor for years! I'm interested to see how XTB's Streetwise scales with their Stunticons. I'm expecting perfection there. BUT, what about some announcements about what we have been waiting and waiting for! XTB Trailer? Hello? No final Menasor picture? Really? Maketoys is doing some new things, but what about that Downbeat reissue!!
Honestly, I don't want to have to buy another MT Meteor just to get better face sculpt(s). It's ridiculous to say the least; people were telling MakeToys to improve the face sculpt since Meteor's conception. And now, not only did they ignore their customers, they're sh*tting on the ones who bought the first release. An EX version is fine if it has better paint, but if they're adding something that should have been taken care of in the first place (i.e. proper face sculpts/wing fillers,) that's just anti-consumer. It's not surprising though, MakeToys have done shady anti-consumer things in the recent past too. This is why I don't buy their products anymore, and I recommend other collectors think hard before supporting such behavior. Besides, I'm no HasTak fan, but Takara is releasing new official seekers soon anyway; and I'm sure the same goes for new official coneheads. So save your money people.
I think Maketoys made many bad moves and is in financial trouble. Funny the KO mp44 head fits almost perfect on Maketoys Meteor! Takara is years out on coneheads
@@tydiriumhanger1320 me too, I like how he looks and I also wanna support maketoys but I don’t like the price and if it’s a tfsource exclusive I don’t want to support them 😅
My question is, are these designers, production managers, etc. not reading the collector community? If they were, would they not see that the “original design” thing doesn’t work that well? Ask BadCube’s captain Huffy how shelf warming feels. Also, Maketoys has a lot of splainin to do, about downbeat and their other promises. XTransbots has to account for introducing another combiner, w/out giving any updates on the the one they can’t seem to finish. Zeta on the other hand has me with that legends scale superion. Bravo. FansToys, meh.... they don’t need this panel the way these other “also rans” do.
I felt they have restructured to play catch up. At one point in time they had 21 revealed figures and were over 3 years behind. Let them get back on track but if they go under is would be a huge loss to the community. Thanks
I've always wanted the Omnibots. I never owned them, and I don't know anyone who does have them. I wanted them because they would have been the perfect blending between Transformers and M.A.S.K..
We need M.A.S.K. on the toy isles so bad! All the g1 goodness and no M.A.S.K.?? Transformers is a good property to exploit that feature and give us small humans with masks!!! Winnnn!!!!!!!!!
@@tydiriumhanger1320 Exactly right. That's what I liked the Human Alliance Movie Transformers, and and the other version of that in the main line. Having Humans with Transformers gives them automatic scale. I'm surprised that the Alternators didn't come with 1:24 scale figures (it would have been awesome if they were GI Joes). Also, on the subject of Omnibots, I think Tracks was one too, with his flying car mode, if you think about it.
We had Camshaft and Overdrive when we were kids. Very cool toys with MASK-style hidden weapons in vehicle mode, but the dog ate them! One bonus about 3P versions of them is that cartoon accuracy is not a factor.
Yes I like the Aerialbots more but the stunticons are turning out just as good. Zeta has one thing going...........they are here now for sure. Fanstoys has lots of ??? these days.
I was going to say XTB would do them but since KUP Menasor Trailer and Springer are still nowhere to be found I left that tidbit out of Friday's vid. Thanks
They tried to make it less dry than usual so I applaud the effort. I miss the mark on lots of jokes so I feel their pain but I would have rather had a shorter more direct 3p panel.
All the combiners shouldn’t be the same size. They are different figures which should be different sizes. 18”-20” is what mp combiners should be size-wise. Mmc Brito is with the upgrade set is 19” and looks great. This shouldn’t be any different.
Go with the MMC protectobots! XTB don't know how to finish a combiner set, u mentioned they stole the show at the TFCON 3rd party panel and sadly no word STILL on that menasor combiner trailer like their basically leaving fans hanging on that! I for one may end up selling my XTB menasor figures 🤷🏾♂🤷🏾♂🤷🏾♂
Yes I have to go in on MMC Defensor and XTB but you are right! Why have faith in a company that did not finish their first combiner when another company did it in record time........................XTB end product will be the best..........I hope
So now we have mmc and XTB doing defensor. I don't think I like the mmc one all that much. Hot spot looks off. It might end up being a mix n match for me like bruticus.
Super excited for MMC Defensor - I will be getting 2 sets just like I did for their Bruticus. I think the all-built-in gimmick is an engineering marvel. The vehicle modes were great and the robot modes resembled so close to the toon.

at 6:20 that is certainly Fans Hobby's take on an Energon Optimus Prime.
Fatimus Prime
Ok that is cool! Thanks
Cungus prime!! Now that’s a nostalgia trip for me
I’ve read zeta sold all their combiners that they were going to make. That’s why different companies are making them and they are sticking with the ones they have already made.
That makes sense. That would explain the complete lack of Predaking they had plans for. Thanks

Mostly Magic Square = a great looking legends display! Yes it will blend in well
I think the protections are size just like their Bruiticus...🤔
I think so too!!! Its a pretty good scale, I just hope they do other Combiners like Devastator, Superion, and others so they could be all in scale :)
@@lilypaigeham So around the same size as Combiner Wars Devastator, PotP Predaking, JuJiang Superion right? Nice..
Those protectobots looks really good
That is a good scale and look good with mp figures. There are the 20 inch ones and these in this scale and I feel they both work well.

Waiting on a zeta defensor. The built in gimmick doesn't do it for me. I need the stability only ZETA can provide.

9:48 do you know how your Iron Trans Star Saber's size compares to the MP? What I've read is XTB Deathsaurus is sized to look eye-to-eye with MP-24 Star Saber combined with KFC Victory Leo (Since XTB/KFC are essentially one company it makes sense). If it is the same size as the MP it should work the same.
They are about equal in size and have their own victory leo on the way. I got rid of my Takara way before Iron Trans came around.
Then as long as Iron Trans' Victory Leo adds a similar height to what Simba did the MP it should work.
Maketoys stylized...it's their CHUG friendly Cross Dimension line. (It was there in the designation, "MTCD-06").
The new Planet X Grimlock is IDW styled (apparently, that warrants a different name; "Cacus" instead of "Vulcun"). Gonna guess that if they dive further into IDW designs, they'll give future releases of characters different names as well.
Zeta Superitron vs. Zeta Superitron Mini...yes, I think you should do a comparison video. And it's Legends scale? I'm interested. Throws a gorilla wrench into the Legends game (since Magic Square's doing Menasor and Iron Factory did Bruticus & Baldigus/Ruination; now we need a better Devastator than that crappy DX9 "Hulkie" and all the KOs)...yesss.
MMC typically deals in CHUG (despite their Ocular Max sub-line for MPs), and then it's typically IDW styled (just look at their CHUG scaled Azalea mold). If their Deathsaurus in robot mode can stand at about the same height as Titans Return Soundwave/Overlord/Sixshot or Power of the Primes Optimus Prime/Rodimus Prime/Optimal Optimus *bare minimum*...it should match fairly well with a MP Starsaber. It'll probably be a better match for that Iron Trans one (also seems IDW styled), whereas the XTB one will be a better match for Takara's MP24 Starsaber.
MMC Defensor? Meh. Speaking of Defensor, I think that Jinbao did an oversized KO of the Maketoys one that may or may not be on par with the Jinbao KOs of Generation Toy Devastator, Warbotron Bruticus, & MMC Predaking. And none of those are on par with Zeta, Toyworld, XTB, FansToys, or DX9...
Yes Superion legends is superior! MMC is usually on the smaller side but seems bigger than Chug but seems a good fit. I had Takara Starsaber and it was too plain. Irontrans is way better and does not veer too far off from toon almost as if Fanstoys made Star Saber.
You mentioned that those Zeta Aerialbots look more toon, but a lot of those changes were made for the "Metallic" repaint. If you go look at the individual bots for ZB01-ZB05 vs ZB06, it is obvious they repainted much closer to the toon model. A few things look better for the legends though, like the faces.
Zeta has been drifting closer to toon with the MP figures but these are a hard right turn and for the good!
Those Omnibots bring me back to vandalizing the boxes of G1 toys for robot points
Yes I feel your pain! There is a story behind all my mail ins that I actually cut out of this video to make it shorter and more concise. Will share one day!
Man the X-Transbots Camshaft looked awesome. I especially liked the bot mode. I loved the Overdrive alt mode but I wasn't too into the head. I hope we can see Downshift soon too. Great looking bots. That is great news for X-Transbots.
I'm happy MMC is going to keep doing their All-In-One for Defensor. I'm not into that character or the individual bots but I think it will sell well and I love seeing them continue to knock out these bots. I hope after this they do the Constructicons as an All-In-One.
I wish they would have shown off what their next Reformatted Line offerings are for MMC. I'm a huge fan of this line.
Yes there were few good things here but those were great!
I'm definitely looking forward to MMC'S defensor, spot on G1 all the way on combine mode AND the individual bots themselves alt mode and bot more, definitely picking that one up and that ( use to be ) zeta toys raiden train team look outstanding, must have!!! 😁😁😁😁😁
So many great things going on and without FT
Would like to see the coneheads before anything else from MakeToys. Also was hoping to see the XTB trailer, but I think I will have to pick two of each Omnibot. Would also like to see a picture of the XTB combine mode for Defensor
Yes to XTB combine mode for Defensor why did they not lead with that?? I feel most collectors want the first 3 of Maketoys more than coneheads. Still better than MP11 but Takara's new mold is not proven yet and Maketoys may still win.
In other news, dalianjj finally responded to not showing up and confirmed that all releases past FT-44 are delayed. Check the FT releases thread on TFW2005 for more details.
Good to hear Delayed as opposed to cancelled. Gives us time to $ave up for future releases. Thanks for the info
@@tydiriumhanger1320 Yeah, it is nice that I can focus on other stuff for now, but still worrying. Most likely rumor I've heard is they lost their factory partner and had to regroup. I'm oddly happy I missed out on FT-44 since QC and support was lacking due to whatever happened, so hopefully the next run are golden when this is all resolved.
I thought the new Planet-X Grimlock was a take on IDW Grimlock?
It may be. Thanks
Yeah that's straight from IDW the Lost Light book's design. From what I hear it's around 10 inches tall too, so much taller than Planet X's other dinobots from years back.
Cool 😎 vid. Glad to see Maketoys still has seeker plans. Sucks there is noting mentioned about Fanstoys. Hopefully they are still on schedule for the rest of the year. Really want that Dragstrip.
Fanstoys is smart and will do what it takes to stay alive!
I always make fun of Fanstoys releasing a new render every TFcon that they're not going to release in the next five years but now that they didn't have any new renders this TF con I'm starting to worry that the rumors are true that they are shutting down.
I felt they have restructured to play catch up. At one point in time they had 21 revealed figures and were over 3 years behind. Let them get back on track but if they go under is would be a huge loss to the community. Thanks
Thats actually a version of Transformers Energon Optimus Prime
Thanks
I'm most interested in the size of the raiden. Just got zeta's superion and bruticus and I want them to scale together.
Zeta has made some mistakes but their combiners look great in combined mode! They along with Toyworld constructor set the MP standard for combiners size.
@@tydiriumhanger1320 Oh, for sure on both points.
Hoping cang toys pred combiner scales well also. I know it's a bit stylized but the 2 releases so far have been so good that I don't mind at all.
MakeToys showing anything at all is almost as surprising as FansToys showing nothing
True Talk!
So in the comics Rung (spoilers!) is the reincarnation of primus (I think) and has the ability to create and forge Matrix’s
He seems to carry quite the following! Thanks
@@tydiriumhanger1320 you’re welcome
Personally I think the stylization of G1 characters is good. It gives more choices to collectors.
That is a good point! Like Shockwave has many G1 versions so why make another G1? Also less chance of getting closed down!
That planet x grimlock looks heavily based on the mtmte (idw) design for grimlock. Sort of how their star saber was based on idw star saber. And since idw is my favourite continuity with my favourite designs, I'm really happy that they're doing this.
I'm happy that any stylized designs are coming out at all. The past couple years have been overloaded with g1, and, to be honest, g1 designs are so common nowadays that they've started to look quite bland and boring. So while the 3rd party g1 toys are fine and all, it's good that there is going to be some variety.
I hope those companies who announced what they'll be doing could keep their promises
I feel that is part of why Fanstoys was not there. Maketoys and XTB have some to prove now. MMC has delivered on all their promises although I passed on most in search of greener pastures. Thanks
I heard a rumor about the Stunticons trailer. I heard that they haven't released it yet because they're remodeling the trailer to make the combined mode bigger, any heard this?
I have heard this many times today! I like that idea and makes more sense than any other explanation!
Maketoys need to grow a 🧠 and give us Highbrow and Brainstorm
Neither Defensor appeals
Stoked for Omnibots
The fact that MAKETOYS has decided that it is cool to make accessories exclusive to their forth reissue of Meteor is super disappointing. Why not just release an upgrade kit for those of us that supported the first release. I mean they made us suffer through the wing fillers already and now this!? Guess I am done buying first releases from them because the better version of their popular stuff is enevitable.
I'm pretty sure theyll release the blast effects and things like that separately after the release of the exclusive, like they did with the wing fillers
Wish there was info to really discuss this but I have the dark face version also and leaned on the $300 Takara to fix it. They should offer free head upgrades to all previous buyers lie TE and others
$150 for Maketoys acid storm? They might as wells close up shop IMO. They should've released headmasters but I'm not sure I'd give $150 for each.
Yes they are out of tune with the fandom for sure!
Love the Shockwave, is it from the 'Cross Dimensions' line or whatever it's called? Got the Nemesis Prime, Megatron and black Skyfire from that line.
It sure took me by surprise that Maketoys went full on MMC with their alternate line. We do have enough G1 shockwave choices so it makes sense to go with an all new design.
@@tydiriumhanger1320 Should fit in nicely with that line, I'm not a G1'er since the country I grew up in had rubbish TV so I always go for versions that I like the design of rather than accuracy to the original cartoons.
I dread seeing the prices of the XTB stuff. I think it might be overpriced for my acquisition. For $80 of the cars I might do it but more than that I dunno.
XTB will be cheaper than Fanstoys just for principle
Anyone got a link to the preorder for MTRM-11Ex?
Not yet! They seem to want to push Acidstorm first
Just curious what makes you say the Generation Toys Defensor is too small?
My understanding is it will be about 16 inches tall but I may be wrong. It will not be in the new 20 inch scale.
@@tydiriumhanger1320 that makes me sad. The vehicle modes are such a nice scale. Well, not the bike, lol. Never the bike.
You don't know about Rung? I highly recommend getting into the IDW transformers comics if you haven't.
I need to do that! I hear great things!
I thought it was weird we didn’t see anything from fans toys
Yeah I'm starting to worry that the rumors are actually real
I am wondering about this too
I felt they have restructured to play catch up. At one point in time they had 21 revealed figures and were over 3 years behind. Let them get back on track but if they go under is would be a huge loss to the community. Thanks
Where can you get the new meteor figure?
It is not up for preorder yet at any of the places I checked just their acidstorm.
@@tydiriumhanger1320 thanks for the info, I'll be on watch then.
XTransbots will make a lot of money in 2021, if they can stay on schedule and release all these reveals on time. Those Omnibots still have me salivating for them!!! I'm so in on their Protectobots!!! I love their Stunticons regardless if the trailer hasn't been released yet. Zeta Toys/Moon Studios or whatever aliases they're using nowadays will also make money the New Year. That Legends scale Superion does look better than the MP version. That Raiden looks magnificent!!! You need to watch the Headmasters anime to learn about them. Definite money maker right there. MMC stuff looks great and we all knew they'd do an all in one Defensor and that Star Convoy looks awesome but I wish they would concentrate on their Ocular Max G1 line a little more than the IDW line. I wanted a Preceptor from them. No FansToys, no DX9, no NewAge, no Magic Square. You got any info on why they didn't show anything?
I felt ft have restructured to play catch up. At one point in time they had 21 revealed figures and were over 3 years behind. Let them get back on track but if they go under is would be a huge loss to the community. DX 9 is hit an miss on reveals and legends reveal so regularly they do not need these events. Thanks
they need to put high power laser diodes in the guns esp for the big uns so can hook them all up to a wifi controller for a laser gun battle
That sounds cool! 2035 first working lightsaber released to retail......2043 toy lazer guns that shoot light beams... outlawed all these toys in 2044
Is it too early for me to wish for someone to ko and upscale that zeta legends class superion!?!?
Hey Mike! We got those omnibots! Nice! I have G1 overdrive and for as hard of a time as I have just getting him to stand up I still love him. These 3p ones are epic!
I display my G1 in alt mode so I can cram 3 times more on the shelf so standing up is not an issue. YES to Omnibots finally! Such cool figures.
The maketoys shockwave is a remold of their cross demensions megatron. Part of their cross demensions line. It’s a great line that’s what transformers should start to become. All the figures in this line are great so far. Their jet fire is amazing.
I am just happy to see Maketoys is still around and have plans to make more affordable seekers as an option. Thanks for the info
If had the money and space - I'd be in for a few of those new interpretation non toon accurate toys.
Many problems that keep bothering me also!
How is that foot on MMC Defensor on the Groove side going to be self contained.
The animated video of them combining shows the feet of Defensor coming from the back of Hot Spots Legs. You have to pause it at just the right time to see it!
Magic! They did it with Bruticus and I bet they are better now at hiding those parts
@@jaredcreamer3611 Interesting. I havent seen the video yet, but that makes sense.
Zetas smaller aerialbots remind me of a better quality jet commander set
It sure is odd they redesigned it for legends. Make me wonder about price $$$$????
Why is it so bad that Third-Party companies are putting out stylized models? The more they separate from Hasbro/Takara's toys, the less trouble it would be for them and the more interesting figures could come out. Yes, it sucks that G1 and such aren't getting as much attention, but instead we are getting more intriguing figures for a more modern collection.
That is a good point! Like Shockwave has many G1 versions so why make another G1? Also less chance of getting closed down!
Yes, the moon studio looks more Zeta than Zeta.
Hey if the price is right and the size is right I am on it!
bummed there was no Fans Toys. they are the only company keeping me in the MP game
I felt they have restructured to play catch up. At one point in time they had 21 revealed figures and were over 3 years behind. Let them get back on track but if they go under is would be a huge loss to the community. Thanks
@@tydiriumhanger1320 not worried about them going under. just was hoping to see updates to some already announced figures.
What’s going on with fans toys stoping factory production after Thomas? Fake news? All signs pointing to it
There is some smoke there. I am optimistic but this all started with Zeta IMO and 3p is not safe. I do want them to survive.
Oh, NOW they're going to come out with stuff I want...
Great things on the way!
Nice to see these companies still working on new things. Xtransbots and MMC, particularly. People have been calling for a Defensor for years! I'm interested to see how XTB's Streetwise scales with their Stunticons. I'm expecting perfection there. BUT, what about some announcements about what we have been waiting and waiting for! XTB Trailer? Hello? No final Menasor picture? Really? Maketoys is doing some new things, but what about that Downbeat reissue!!
Lots of questions to be answered! I love the reveals but yes where is KUP Menasor and Springer
Honestly, I don't want to have to buy another MT Meteor just to get better face sculpt(s). It's ridiculous to say the least; people were telling MakeToys to improve the face sculpt since Meteor's conception. And now, not only did they ignore their customers, they're sh*tting on the ones who bought the first release. An EX version is fine if it has better paint, but if they're adding something that should have been taken care of in the first place (i.e. proper face sculpts/wing fillers,) that's just anti-consumer. It's not surprising though, MakeToys have done shady anti-consumer things in the recent past too. This is why I don't buy their products anymore, and I recommend other collectors think hard before supporting such behavior. Besides, I'm no HasTak fan, but Takara is releasing new official seekers soon anyway; and I'm sure the same goes for new official coneheads. So save your money people.
I think Maketoys made many bad moves and is in financial trouble. Funny the KO mp44 head fits almost perfect on Maketoys Meteor! Takara is years out on coneheads
will u get that acid storm that maketoys is doing????
I am on the fence for that figure.
@@tydiriumhanger1320 me too, I like how he looks and I also wanna support maketoys but I don’t like the price and if it’s a tfsource exclusive I don’t want to support them 😅
6:04
Autobot Headmaster Juniors from Masterforce Anime.
My question is, are these designers, production managers, etc. not reading the collector community? If they were, would they not see that the “original design” thing doesn’t work that well? Ask BadCube’s captain Huffy how shelf warming feels. Also, Maketoys has a lot of splainin to do, about downbeat and their other promises. XTransbots has to account for introducing another combiner, w/out giving any updates on the the one they can’t seem to finish. Zeta on the other hand has me with that legends scale superion. Bravo. FansToys, meh.... they don’t need this panel the way these other “also rans” do.
Yes why announce new figures when no new molds all year? I feel a wave of XTB stuff hitting just like Ft did all year. Why Ft silent???
Is no one gonna attempt masterpiece style Chromia? Or Nautica? Or Nightbeat?
Maybe not today maybe not tomorrow but soon!
@@tydiriumhanger1320 I hope so
I think all these deathsaurus look corny in alt mode. The legs look like a fat woman's legs.
I totally agree and will not display them in alt mode. If one mode takes a hit it should be alt mode.
Sad we didn’t hear anything from fanstoys
I felt they have restructured to play catch up. At one point in time they had 21 revealed figures and were over 3 years behind. Let them get back on track but if they go under is would be a huge loss to the community. Thanks
I think Zeta has gotten better since core star.
Zeta has learned a lot over the past year!
Omnibots looks soooooo good...
I've always wanted the Omnibots. I never owned them, and I don't know anyone who does have them. I wanted them because they would have been the perfect blending between Transformers and M.A.S.K..
We need M.A.S.K. on the toy isles so bad! All the g1 goodness and no M.A.S.K.?? Transformers is a good property to exploit that feature and give us small humans with masks!!! Winnnn!!!!!!!!!
@@tydiriumhanger1320 Exactly right. That's what I liked the Human Alliance Movie Transformers, and and the other version of that in the main line. Having Humans with Transformers gives them automatic scale. I'm surprised that the Alternators didn't come with 1:24 scale figures (it would have been awesome if they were GI Joes). Also, on the subject of Omnibots, I think Tracks was one too, with his flying car mode, if you think about it.
We had Camshaft and Overdrive when we were kids. Very cool toys with MASK-style hidden weapons in vehicle mode, but the dog ate them!
One bonus about 3P versions of them is that cartoon accuracy is not a factor.
FT needs to finish at least the Arielbots. Too good to stop now. But may take a hit at Zetas new ones.
Yes I like the Aerialbots more but the stunticons are turning out just as good. Zeta has one thing going...........they are here now for sure. Fanstoys has lots of ??? these days.
Shockwave is a repaint and remold of their Rioter Despotron.
Thanks for the info
Love it👌👍🤙😎
Thanks
im all in on the omni bots.... im glad xtransbots got to it before fans toys...
I was going to say XTB would do them but since KUP Menasor Trailer and Springer are still nowhere to be found I left that tidbit out of Friday's vid. Thanks
digging that mmc defensor
It really impressed me! That says a lot because I stopped on Brut due to design
@@tydiriumhanger1320 yeah looks awesome so far
.......cool still no Fans Toys Blitzwing.....
Yep but they are still up for preorder and I have full faith in Fansotoys!
The presenters weren’t as punny as they thought they were.
They tried to make it less dry than usual so I applaud the effort. I miss the mark on lots of jokes so I feel their pain but I would have rather had a shorter more direct 3p panel.
All the combiners shouldn’t be the same size. They are different figures which should be different sizes. 18”-20” is what mp combiners should be size-wise. Mmc Brito is with the upgrade set is 19” and looks great. This shouldn’t be any different.
That is a good way to look at it. Thanks
Gimmie those Omnibots!!!!!
Finally !! Omni Bots !!! Yes !!!
It is about time! We need Kup Menasor and springer first
@@tydiriumhanger1320 True dat. But glad it is xtb doing the omnis. That way they should scale well with takara car bots. Thanks for the info.
MMC too small. :(
You are right! Thats what she,,,,,,,
YAY MORE DEFENSOR
We do need that in a major way!
Masterpiece armada prime
Sounds cool
That picture was the energon primes drafts btw
Would be a waste of resources 😝
You got your obnibot wish👍
So true! Just spent an hour clearing out space for them in my display! LOL Thanks
Lol, you weren’t a dumb kid🤣
Go with the MMC protectobots! XTB don't know how to finish a combiner set, u mentioned they stole the show at the TFCON 3rd party panel and sadly no word STILL on that menasor combiner trailer like their basically leaving fans hanging on that! I for one may end up selling my XTB menasor figures 🤷🏾♂🤷🏾♂🤷🏾♂
Yes I have to go in on MMC Defensor and XTB but you are right! Why have faith in a company that did not finish their first combiner when another company did it in record time........................XTB end product will be the best..........I hope
So now we have mmc and XTB doing defensor. I don't think I like the mmc one all that much. Hot spot looks off. It might end up being a mix n match for me like bruticus.
MMC Looks like the G1 version with many needed improvements. XTB will be more toon and MP but take till 2023
X transbots like I said before
They killed it but where is KUP springer and Menasor
Idk ask TE there all good companies
First!
Thanks
