    I knew you loved the nemesis but damn I didn’t expect it to take the number one spot. I’m yet to experience it myself (waiting for a sale like I do with most titans) but I guess it surprised me because it’s just rare for a titan to be that perfect. They’re typically good but not great in my book and quite a few others from what I’ve seen.

  • @ToaKoran
    @ToaKoran 6 месяцев назад +6

    Out of all the figures we’ve gotten this year, the many that I’ve enjoyed, Armada Optimus and Megatron truly are my everything. I stopped everything I was doing when they were out up for pre-order, even at work, and snagged them up. They both look amazing, they feel amazing, and I legitimately got a bit teary-eyed when I finally got Optimus especially in-hand since there was a good while where I genuinely believed he wouldn’t happen.
    When that prototype was shown off I didn’t even care that it was overly-stylized, I was just eager to finally get a new Armada Optimus in some form, to have that line acknowledged and given a new figure so we wouldn’t still be stuck calling the 2002 Deluxe the best Armada Optimus toy. I was so hyped, and with the prolonged silence and lack of any leaks I was heartbroken and uneasily certain Hasbro didn’t have enough faith to make him. I’m so happy I was wrong, though. These two are my childhood revived in their true glory with each figure only having minor downsides that I can only consider nitpicks.
    Megatron’s shoulders not having great articulation, and Optimus having a really weird waist swivel and crotch skirt, the former being sufficiently fixed by an amazing upgrade kit while the latter is partially fixed albeit in an expensive kit of mostly useless additions. Even the lacking paint on the feet Toyhax has covered, now. The only genuine critique I have is that Optimus’ shin flaps should have been better reinforced so they wouldn’t be such a breakage issue.
    Armada is my childhood, it’s my very first Transformers, my entry into this series and fandom, and I will never not love it. It sucks that Starscream and Hotshot were failures, but if two had to be sacrificed so two came out nearly perfect, then I’m at least happy the two faction leaders came out on top.

    This list makes perfect sense. We've been getting mid ass voyagers and deluxes since all of the budget has been going to absolutely balling out for the Leader and Commander Class figures. It's not that you need to spend money for good stuff, but the BEST stuff is going to cost you a bit, but consider that a Leader is really just not buying 3 deluxes.

    My personal list (I have not yet bought Snarl or the commanders)
    Honorable Mentions
    - 86 Frenzy, Beachcomber, Needlenose, Code Red, Black Lio Convoy
    10) Legacy Menasor
    - Great Combiner; not higher because of individual components being low tier
    9) Legacy Bludgeon
    -Tarn was good and Bludgeon fixed his QC problems.
    8) Toxitron Grimlock
    -Would be higher if I had the original instead of the repaint.
    7) Legacy Metalhawk
    -has better accessories than Cyclonus;would be higher if he was his own figure.
    6) 86 Ratchet
    - him and Ironhide justified the voyager price point better than a lot of modern voyagers.
    5) 86 Brawn
    -Great representation of the character
    4) Legacy Armada Megatron
    -Great figure in leader scale
    3) Legacy Inferno
    - For the ROYALTY!
    2) Legacy TII Megatron
    -Amazing update, even for people who didn’t watch Beast Wars (not #1 because he’s technically from last year)
    1) ᵍᵃᵐᵉʳ edition Optimus Prime
    - Hasbro Blew the whole budget on this guy

Those two deluxes were amazing. They will be in my list that is for sure lol. Be well mate and I really enjoyed this video.

      I really REALLY liked Brawn, but it didn't make the list just because it was too close, there are things even now I feel like should have made it over others.
      The Beach Comber is however a worse version of the Power of the Primes one, so I didn't care for it.

    After seeing your Transmetal II Megatron a few times in your videos with the DNA upgrade kit, I would like to ask a question about said kit if you don't mind: How come the only part you didn't attach are the tail extensions? I'm curious because I will be receiving my Transmetal II Megetron soon and I absolutely love the dragon mode, but I find the tail to be a little too short. Honestly, I'm mostly interested in ordering the DNA kit for the extra tail segments to make the dragon mode look better.

    The legacy dreadwing was something I tried to hunt but in Canada stock is super wonky hopefully we get another repaint this year.
    Mainline prime is definitely a surprise with how good it is, rotb mainline was pretty good
    The commanders also pretty good this year armada prime is a joy and magnus I don’t have but looks very good.
    For me that legends armada star scream is awesome, core energon megatron pretty solid for a core class really want a full sized version, and tiger hawk very satisfying leader captures the character well and if they can do rampage or depthcharge at leader size
    2023 was pretty good overall good titan, good commanders, and a good lot of core-leaders. 2024 united also looks to be on a strong start.

    Gotta say, getting a kit for Dragon Megs because he's so good is solid logic. I hate when people get kits for bad figures or mods for games to make them good. Because it enables the companies to keep cheaping out knowing others will do the work for them.
    And the point on gimmicks reminds of Thew Adams Armada Megatron video. Basically saying it wasn't anything remarkable because it lost all the gimmicks. I think the people sour about the gimmicks probably came from his video.

    Thoughts on the figures I cared about from this list:
    TMII Megatron: this figure is great. I hope we get more Transmetals and Quickstrike in the future now that we have both Silverbolt and Tigerhawk.
    Mainline Optimus Prime: I have both figures, and I can confirm that the posing is a million times better on the Mainline.
    86 Snarl: This is perfect. I can't wait for the set to be complete.
    86 Ultra Magnus: Can't wait to get this figure. He definitely looks like one of the bigger Commanders (not Jetfire scale but still)
    Also, the Reactivate Figures are so cool that I think the Decepticons should use similar designs in the ROTB sequels (and maybe the Autobots as well but they already have designs in that part of the live action continuity).

    • @PerspectiveEnd
      @PerspectiveEnd  6 месяцев назад +2

      They better do the other Fuzors I swear to God. And Rampage.
      86 Snarl is great. And yes I'd say that while Magnus is not as big as the other Commanders he does feel like it fits the category.

    Because of Hasbro’s distribution I legitimately don’t know which figures I got that were from 2022 and which ones were from 2023. With that said, I won’t even try to parse out when any of my figures are from and just list off a few heavy hitters I got this year. I hit the QC jackpot on Flamewar so my copy is actually a really solid figure with a gorgeous paint job, the price they retailed for was practically criminal but I didn’t pay retail for mine so I can enjoy her without the aftertaste of getting ripped off. Inferno and Tarantulas are top tier Beast Wars figures and it’s a crime they didn’t come out in Kingdom, each one is exactly what they should be and I don’t think I’d change a thing on either. Finally, this definitely isn’t a 2023 release but a few months ago I *FINALLY* got a hold of an Eris Kultur. She is, without question, the best figure I own.

    • @PerspectiveEnd

    • @jinxtheunluckypony
      @jinxtheunluckypony 6 месяцев назад

      @@PerspectiveEnd Shattered Glass Flamewar is INFAMOUS for her QC issues. A lot of her figures have loose arms that fall off at the swivel which is lame but fixable. The far larger issue is that a lot of them also have her legs misassembled in a way that prevents her from transforming. Fixing her legs requires you to push a few pins out which requires a certain amount of know how and risks destroying the figure completely. I wouldn’t recommend anyone roll the dice on a Shattered Glass Flamewar, the only reason I bought mine is because the botcon figures are prohibitively expensive.

    I can get behind everything except megatron. He is not what he needed to be. He’s outclassed by every other legacy armada toy. This toy was $55, but where did that budget go. He’s got a simpler transformation than needlenose, he’s about on par articulation wise with his og toy, and he’s just a disappointment. Hot shot might’ve been trying to do too much, but he’s got that armada spirit. Starscream only suffers from loose joints, but those can be easily fixed. Prime as you said, is a godsend. Megatron is not a bad figure, but a very disappointing one. Btw thanks again for the universe hound review, I’ve got another recommendation for you to check out on your personal time. Magic square devastator is a really nifty set, and I know you’d love the metallic paint version I just picked up.
