- Figure Note:
Stop-Motion Transformation of DreamStar Toys DST001 Encourager. Gorgeous but flawed. On my final transformation run back to combined mode, one of the hips on the torso finally caught up with all the complaints I’ve seen about that figure: It broke off. I tried gluing it with epoxy, but it wouldn’t hold. So I held the joint together, drilled a pilot hole at a 45 degree angle and put in a screw. So that guy is permanently in torso mode now. If I can’t get replacement parts that’s not the end of the world since that guy is definitely the most unpleasant to transform.

Production Note: I decided not to give away the big finish, so I didn’t put a schematic at the beginning. I’ve noticed that when I fill the turntable for a group 360, it whips by at the edges a bit too fast, so this time I shot the robots 360 using 288 pictures instead of 144. Hopefully that looks better. I shot the 360’s over a few days since it takes so long to transform them all. If you notice a little notch cut out during the team 360 (bottom edge, to the right of center) it’s because I got my fool thumb up into frame while turning the turntable.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. You put a crap ton of work into each and every sequence and it flowed beautifully. Very well done!
Thank you so much!
this is a robot that I will never ever want to transform again lol
Me either!
Combined mode is obviously gorgeous but making all the Arialbots the same monochrome silver was certainly... *a* choice. I don't know about anyone else but I can't tell 4/5 of these guys apart. Silverbolt stands out, partially due to his altmode, and partially because he's the only member of the team who doesn't have the same "cocky hotshot" personality, but then his name is probably better associated with the beast wars character... Either way, fantastic work as always!
I agree, making them the same color wasn't a bad idea, but wasn't a good one either. But at the same time I kinda like it even though they could've probably done a slightly different color scheme to tell the four aerial bots apart. However I love their sleek design
F15 has 2 tail fins
F-16 has 1 fin split in 2 directions
Concorde (I think) is silverbolt
Harrier has semi circular intakes
F-4 has curved rectangular intakes
You can tell the robot modes by the nose cones.
F-16 has the largest and spikiest
Silverbolt you know
Harrier intakes are on the shoulders
F-4 has a little blue on the body.
I wish they had more red and more blue in their robot modes. Perhaps we can get a recolor unless the company doesn’t sell well.
@@abezworld9435 only time will tell, but all in all, I love this take on Superion
100% for sure that they will release it with g1 colour, and i don't know , the project is mainly for a "movie" superion and a non "so real" colouring could ruin the figure, but let's see. Le'ts see also their devastator, if they go for the classic "green+purple" or will do again an "iron giant" wit different shape.
If you know combat jets, it's not difficult... but I agree that making them all the same set of colours with out any clear distinctions was a strange way to go especially in robot modes. Still the overall effect is undeniably stunning in all three modes but the pay off for the colour choice is the uniform gestalt mode. I especially appreciate the use of the tow trucks to make the feet... very nice.
The people that play as the characters that form superion would be proud of this black magic engineering.🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩😎👏🔥
It is certainly complex.
@@markcastellanet9672 exactly but its so good i love complex transformer toys .
@@sephiroth2776 I don't mind complex transformations, but from what I've seen, it is also fragile and easily broken even when doing the transformation as designed. If it were complex and everything worked as intended, it would be better.
@@markcastellanet9672 yea agree to that cause your paying so much money for this and having it break feels like you shouldn't buy it at all and makes feel you should wait for a upgrade kit of somekind or some few years of development of making a version of this but more better than the last one tyat wouldn't break at all but complex of a transformation into what ever mode that it is in for a product.
Same regardless of the problems that some of the toys have .
Is it weird that I absolutely love this set to bits, from the challenge to the design to the engineering, but at the same time wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy?
My first transformation into combined mode took the better part of a weekend.
This is why I like to watch.
Perfect. Toys are meant to be played with. It is that time, effort, and thought you put into the transformation that you all remember for ever. Trophies should be earned.(Kinda like defeating the Atma weapons in final fantasy 7 for the 1st time. Only that kind of trophy won't go on a shelf. Supirium will:)
Outstanding compilation and combination feature! I will say that, Q/C issues aside, I think the the extreme redesigns and transformation reworks highlight a prominent issue with the original aerial bots: they don't have terribly interesting designs. Take away all the elaborate linkages and panels and you're still just folding back the wings and pinning each character's nosecone on their back. I think an actual radical aerial bot redesign should be a re-imagining of their transformation that gives them more distinct silhouettes and uses jet parts more creatively.
Aye!
Plane wings are tricky to do anything clever with since they're so skinny.
I think since they are going with a G1 look. It's important to keep them close to what we got. Unless you want something like Devastator from the transformer movies... (No thanks. Not me)
Let’s go Superion! 😃
This makes the Megazord of the sentai team of Jetman looks like an actual toy in comparison. In other words...THIS COMBINER IS AWESOME!😊
Awesome !!!, can't wait to put mine together
Good luck!
I avoided that bullet after reading a lot of complains: a toy must be fun to handle... I decided to go for the FansToys version to diplay in bot mode with my combined Zeta Toys' Superion.
Exceedingly difficult transformation. Hopefully it’s worth it
Ступни из аэродромных тягачей - это оригинальное решение. Никогда не любил, когда детали появлялись из ниоткуда.
Я согласен. Мне нравится, когда нет лишних деталей, которые появляются из ниоткуда.
This is So Fucking Coolest my friends. How in the Name of the Heavens the First Five Transformers Movies becomes a Shit. How is Possible if an Estimated in a PC in his Home is Able to Create this Piace of Art. Thanks.
Pretty clever. Awesome job @peolesdru!
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY wants to spend an hour transforming a combiner...
Then they would enjoy MMC's combiners, like I do!
Well done
it's beautiful...
Wow dude. That must have taken a really long time to film the stop motion for all that transformation. Well done.
It was done one robot at a time. Probably 2.5 hours on average to shoot each of the five. Look up the individual videos.
Great Work 🥰
This was sick! Awesome work.
Magnificent!
These look amazeballs, but I'd never touch them!
It would've been fantastic if their Silverbolt didn't have those joint issues. Massive turn off. Sorry that it troubled you so much during the stop motion
I got lucky and didn't have the issue until long after I did the whole sequence for him.
Very nice figure, but thé price IS lot expensive
Found out what you missed on the weapons. Apparently, the smaller of silverbolt's two weapons splits in two. One of the two folds up into a rear crotch attachment, while the other half combines with his armgun to create Encourager's gun.
I do not know for sure what the heel pistons do, but I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow combined with weapons from the other four, just at a guess.
Nice tips!
Surprised there was nothing shown of the weapons? From what I saw in another video for Silverbolt's held weapon, thought it transformed in some way, likely for the combined mode.
It kind of folds. I left it to the collector to figure that one out for himself.
So we've got what looks to be an F-15 Eagle, F-16 Falcon, F-4 Phantom, and the Harrier. But what is the last one? It looks like some kind of odd Concorde prototype.
It's a "better as a torso than a robot or plane"
This should be the one in Michael Bay movies.
Considering all the combiners u have collected, ever considered putting them side by side in a widespread of size comparison and insane detail and epicness?
I have not.
That’s what I’m talking about!
quite stunning
Better buy three sets of this. One set for robot mode, one set for alt. mode, and the last one for Superion, the combined mode. I cannot imagine transforming these from robot to plane to robot again and vice versa. Hahahaaa.... Of course, there's always a question of budget and worthiness.
It was a real pain let me tell you.
If you break it, what hope do we mere mortals have?
None, I'm afraid. Those hip joints on the combiner have a fatal design flaw.
This is epic. Probably the best combiner since Predaking. Is it the same company?
I don't think so. The materials selection is different from Cang.
@@peolesdru I thought they were the same, because of the way they approach the combiners foot extensions. Cang added 2 extra Wolves to the feet, for Predaking. And these had stand/holders that look like trucks, that goes to the feet.
Are there other combiners with transforming extensions like these? Or did Cang start a trend?
@@reintype I don't have all combiners, but Cang is the first one I can think of where the feet were also team members. It's a smart way to do things. With MMC's All-Built-In Bruticus, the all-built-in feet were a bit small - so MMC released an upgrade set that bulked the feet up - but those turned into simple boxes. With this set those trucks are supposed to look like those airport trucks that tow planes around, but unlike Cang's feet they don't have a robot mode. Cang is really cool because even the hands have an animal mode (they combine to form a crab). I would guess that the feet on their Dinobot combiner will probably be velociraptors or something.
What I don't get is why silver bolt was chosen to become a Concorde rather than a b1 lancer or a t160 black jack
It would have made so much more sense. Or even a mid-air refueling tanker.
Awesome bot and video! Thanks
You're welcome!
The problem is silverbolt is trash. 🚮. And the deadpool tiny hands in combiner mode makes me lol 😂
Silverbolt certainly has some issues. Numerous issues.
_Bit_ too stylized (and monochromatic) for my taste. Also budget...
Hoping to see Magic Square's Dinobots on this channel, their Sludge is just out - Grimlock was _great_
That is gorgeous!
Nice
First peolesdru
SUPERION IS SUPERIOR.
So epic!
That things looks great
Yup - he's purty.
Quick question. I heard the quality of the product are not very good. Some parts like the joint of the arm on DST-03 (which is the joint of the leg on Superion) can fall off after a few months or so. Does this happen to your DST-003 or the whole combiner?
The limb that is the left arm of the robot and turns into one of the combiner legs broke on mine. It held up through the whole original torso-bot shoot but I had to go back through all three modes to do the big group shots for the last video. It went back to plane mode, went to robot mode and then the joint gave out on the way back to torso. I drilled a pilot hole diagonally through the joint and drove a big screw into it to hold it together for the big combination sequence. ShowZ got me replacement parts and they will arrive tomorrow. Not sure if they replaced enough of the joint for me to be able to fix my destructive repair job, but I will know tomorrow.
But other than that one notorious joint, I had zero other issues with any of them. Each of the hip joints is a sort of double ratchet and I think it binds and suddenly the force you're applying is too much for the plastic.
@@peolesdru thanks for the replies. I think I will disassemble the parts of arm in DST-03 then make new parts with 3D printing (stronger and thicker plastic). Or even make the die-cast for those part so they will never be broken again
Aww, they didn't give Fireflight his faceplate? Bummer
Noice work 😎
OH、THAT RIGHT♪😂
WOW. What an amazing display of this piece. Well done on the sequence. I want to get this set. Would you recommend or not? I mean, I see there is an issue with one of the hips, but do you think it is a defect for every set, or just this one happen to have this issue?
It is an issue so beware. Otherwise the set is very solid.
It was easy enough to use a screw (with a proper pilot hole drilled out) to lock the joint in combined mode. Bit of a dead-end fix, though. I just got replacement parts in the mail so we'll see how that goes.
@@peolesdru can you let us know how it went? The whole exchange proces, etc? Maybe a idea for a new video to show where was the problem and how to solve it(exchange part full process?)
Epic take on a character! Daring to do a version that's essentially new at this scale, price and complexity.
Ready!
That combination of Superion assembled with the rotation and panning. Chef's kiss haha
You go hard
Just Watching This Video makes me glad that I Remember The Original G1 Versions when I was Younger Than I am Know ! The Engineering just in This Version gives me a Headache ?. If I Had the Money I’d get Two Sets and Leave 1 Set in There Combined Mode and the other in There Planes mode well maybe ?.
If you can afford it. I'm curious about your capitalization. It reminds me of how in German they capitalize all nouns.
Increíble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How was the QC on your copy?
My Silverbolt had an issue early on where one of the robot feet broke off. I got that replaced by ShowZ. During this run as I was transforming him back to torso mode I encountered the dreaded hip failure (hips on the combiner, shoulder of the robot) so now that joint is permanently in combined mode.
@@peolesdru That is quite unfortunate. I’m sorry to hear that.
Grazie ❤
what figure is ?
Literally in the title.
Superion in Transformers G1.
@@gerardoosores7470 thx
Me parece a mí o las ventanas de los acarreadores que usa de pies quedaron en la planta de los mismos? Los diseñadores se equivocaron un poco.
Solo intentaban convertirlos a algo, pero no pusieron mucho esfuerzo en ello.
This was badass
Great Bayverse Superion though
I don't think it's quite that bad.
Maybe later Bayverse when they stopped making them skeletal.
This definitely makes me look forward to the mmc version.
Huh? Mmc looks nowhere near this nice. And would look like tiny Tim next to this beast.
I would definitely get an MMC ... well anything really. But it would be nice if they did a Superion.
@@ericpoulin7922 MMC hasn't come out with one yet, but I meant this looks really complex and likewise nearly has an all in one gimmick like MMC. MMC is likely less complex which is why I am looking forward to that one instead.
How close would you say the jet modes are to the standard set by Carefray?
The limb jets are pretty clean jets, but Carefray is super clean.
Some military dude: who called in te Air Force?
Bumblebee: that’s not the Air Force…
このレベルのプロポーションで三段変形！？
スゴすぎる！！！！！
とても良いですね！
