- My Vintage and Masterpiece Transformers Collection Room.
It’s been a little over a year since I completely overhauled the display room with lights, paint, and (believe it or not) downsizing 🤣 … and in this last year I’ve rearranged shelves and posing, picked up figures to complete the collection, and made enough other changes to warrant an update!
I hope you enjoy!

I mean this is like transformers perfection. This is what I would hope my display to one day be. It won't be but I am extremely envious.
To be fair, I never thought it would come together like this either 😆
When I redid the room with lights, paint, and downsized to spread everything out … I was like WOAH when I was done 🤣
Phenomenal Collection 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!!! If only my 8 year old self could get a glimpse of this room!!! 😂😂
@ man what, I look at my collection and say the same thing. 😂🤣❤️
Beautiful, nicely done! 🤌
I appreciate it!!! When I redid the space last year it even surprised myself how well it came out hahah
Wow, incredible,
Thank you!!! 😅😅
Great looking collection
Thank you!!! It took a lot for me to finally downsize and give the figures room to breathe and be posed properly… this has been a dream come true having started at 4 years old and never imagining to finally “have them all”
@@LouboutinReviews That’s an awesome collection and setup!! I should have had the same focus like you and tapered my collection down to Masterpiece and G1 instead of going nuts with all the series like G1, Masterpiece, Siege, War for Cybertron, etc. Perhaps in the future, if I have the energy, I might sell my other lines and focus on completing the official and 3rd party Masterpiece line, which is my favorite due to size and detail.
@@NastafarAround the time of Transformers Armada and Energon I was still convinced that Transfrmers would die out and I could legitimately have a “complete” TF collection hahah I used to love all the different CHUG style lines but it slowly became too much…. Vintage always took priority and then the more the MP line got fleshed out I figured I already had the “perfect” representation of the character along with the vintage and therefore I didn’t need anything that was sorta “in between” if that makes sense… so I still held onto a sampling of BW, Armada, Animated etc because they were different takes on the characters and it made it easier to completely cut the otherwise G1 feeling modern lines.
Don’t get me wrong, those are great figures but if I was gonna cut something, that was the first to go. I also dumped all my Titanium figures and Alternators (this is the one line I kinda want to find room for again but where would I even put them? 😮)
Well done video Bobby. Made me so jealous of your toy museum 😜
It’s certainly taken a long time to get to this point and now that I’m finally extra proud of how it looks I love sharing it with anyone interested!! I always wonder what 8 year old me would think if I could show him a glimpse at this room!
Very nice👌🏼
I appreciate it!!
Beautiful collection! The Technobots is where it started for me too. Love the focus on cartoon accurate masterpieces balanced with the original toys and both modes.
The technobots are objectively a great set too, but sometimes I’m worried I’m biased 😂. And I absolutely love the look of having the “best visual representation” in MP form along with the vintage that I always wanted … and honestly, I used to display them side by side in robot to show the evolution, but now it makes the display appear far less cluttered and immediately reminded me of those catalogs … so it’s like a love song to my childhood spent staring at those catalogs 😂 I could never go back now!
Plus it’s kinda nice to see some of the room in different modes to highlight the whole freaking point of Transformers 😆
You might even notice that when I have a duplicate mold in another color I try to have them in different modes!
I am super impressed!!! Great collection and awesome tour. Thanks for sharing!!
I’m glad you liked it! I love sharing my collection with everyone, I just don’t want to be out here spamming videos all the time hahah😅
This is heaven Bobby! Extremely well done! Happy for you
Brilliant! Absolutely Brilliant display. You should be really proud of it. Excellent work.
Thanks!!! It’s been a slow evolution over the last 36 years haha … but I genuinely appreciate all the kudos, I’m very proud of all the curating and it was kinda funny, I rewatched my video from last year and just noticing all the major and minor tweaks already was really cool 😂
I’ve been looking for a storage solution like this and you’re giving me a lot of ideas here! Love it 😁
Glad I could help! I’ve stolen countless ideas over the years and slowly smashed them together into something I love 😊
Skyward was my first Transformer and seeing him being redesigned into Cyclonus is a huge treat. Your collection is awesome and it brings back memories for me as a kid. Fantastic!
Thanks for the kudos!!! I’m a huge supporter of Skywarp and I love my “opinion” front and center 🤣 My room is a dream come true for me and I’m glad to share it with you all!
Beautiful collection. Love the addition of the Skybound Energon Universe shelves. Really well done
@@kevastator84 As much as I’ve always kept up with the animated series and toy lines I always felt like I missed out on the comic runs. Obviously I could go back and read them, but there’s something to be said about reading along in real time and being able to discuss the issues with people as they come out… so when Skybound reset the universe I took that as my sign to dive in, and wanted to give them some love!! I wasn’t too sure if it would make that area too cluttered looking but I do really like how it came out!
WoW! That is One Very nice and Very Well Displayed Collection.
Congratulations!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
As I watched the tour, I noticed that you were missing the Monsterbots, DoubleCross, Repugnus and Grotesque.
Good eye!!! And happy “all the holidays” to you too 🤣
So I actually did own the Fans Hobby Monsterbots for a while but they got cut during the “refresh” 😂 it’s not a perfect system, but I “tried” to limit my MP scale to US cartoon appearances. Some exceptions like the Powermaster Jets, Omnibots and Victory Saber … but I tried to draw a hard line to keep the display manageable. For instance I LOVE the Moon Studios Raiden but he’s not allowed hahah
Insert Wayne and Garth bowing:
“We’re not worthy! We’re not worthy!”
I’m glad to share it with everyone!! Honestly, my favorite thing is when someone comes over who isn’t “really” into transformers at all but starts describing one they had as a kid and being able to walk over and point it out… seeing their reactions is the best
Very impressive! This is more or less what I envision for my collection.😊
@@MrLedZepper always glad to inspire people!!! I remember some great collections over the years that I would look up to! When we finally moved into this house about 8 years ago I set everything up and was pretty happy with it … but after getting my Bobby Skullface critiques it finally pushed me over the edge to try something different 😂 taking literally every figure out of the room was a crazy endeavor but it’s what finally forced me to reconsider the room from scratch.
It’s honestly still very humbling to be on the other side of this now and having people look up to my display for inspiration. I’m always happy to share my love of the hobby and glad I can contribute in some small way to how people interact with their own displays :)
Opening shot: Skywarp is Cyclonus haha
@@chimuelo8768 I like a little controversy front and center 🤣 I might consider changing it if they ever make a transparent Galvatron and Megatron to give me an excuse to upgrade to the new FT Galvatron
I’m just wondering what other “fan arguments” you can incorporate 🧐
@@chimuelo8768I thought about the Frenzy/Rumble but that’s really just a “name” thing … “Truck Not Monkey” but I own both and they’re in their own sections … hmmm 🤔
Nice collection. Love the mixture of official & bootlegs. I have a lot of the same as well, official & bootlegs. That’s the way to go if one wants to get what they want.
It’s the only way to get everything you want!!! 😅 Takara was taking too dang long on the MP line and especially the combiners.
Great redo of the collection, remember seeing your collection on BSF's collection critic's.
Thank you!!! I always knew at some point that I wanted to add lights and maybe paint the walls… but hearing their critiques finally pushed me over the edge to just get it done 😂
I was tempted to resubmit but he said they’re considering a “redemption” episode at some point and I’m hoping to be featured there!! You should totally keep suggesting it to him though hahaha
@@LouboutinReviews That would be cool.
I still need to submit my setup to Collection Critic's, so look for mine in 2.5 years. LOL
@@butterflykatana 🤣 yeah, it takes FOREVER … but that’s totally understandable! I help run a Transformers Displays group on Facebook and we’ve joked about doing our own variation on the idea… I would be doing it just for the fun of it, not to try and copy Bobby or try and make any financial compensation for it. We joked about only doing really awesome displays but be sipping wine and just roasting them to pieces when we really think the opposite is true 😂 But really if we do something like that I wouldn’t want it to feel gimmicky or anything
Superb collection
Thank you!!!!! 36 years in the making 🤣
I have the exact same MP figures *except* I went with Takara for the Seekers. I had the deformation versions but they felt so cheap to me despite how great the proportions are. I did just get the FT Margh figure, I'd recommend it.
I ended up grabbing the Takara Skywarp 3.0 to check them out but I still think he’s a little short … maybe that’s a side effect of the DS ones being a little tall too.
I actually preferred him being a tad shorter in my reformatting display … there’s a huge size difference in my G1 Hotrod transitioning to MP Rodimus so I liked the shorter Skywarp becoming the taller (and bulkier XTB) Cyclonus.
I’m with you on the FT Ultra Magnus … he looks great! I’m no stranger to swapping figures so it might happen still 😂 I don’t generally support straight KOs but if one comes out I wouldn’t be able to say no then
@LouboutinReviews All the same you have an amazing collection! Thank you for taking the time to share it. If you're in the PNW I'd love to see it in person! I'll ping you on TFW :)
@@Nyarlahotep down in Texas 😂 but I’ve had local collectors come by before and it’s always awesome to share it with people!! I even love when it’s just a casual friend or someone and they’re like “I had this one … he was blue and turned into a plane” and then I go point to it and they freak out 😂 it’s the best!!!
I didn’t think there would be a master force section then I saw doubledealer , the train bots sealed the deal true collector
I remember when the internet kinda came out and I finally learned that there were vintage figures made in other countries 😂 I was like … time to update the checklist hahah
Meeting THE Prime and Megatron! That’s badassatron!
@@popurpet7333 honestly, knowing the expression “never meet your heroes” … these two are the exact opposite. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and genuinely enjoy interacting with fans. Very humble men, the both of them!
Really nice. Just found your birthday messages in your Shorts. That’s really special
@@popurpet7333I’m trying to only watch it on my Birthday each year now to keep it extra special :)
Love your collection and super jealous! LOL
@@Frankzillatoyz I can only imagine what my 8 year old self would think of seeing this room!! I remember looking up to so many great displays and collections when I was younger so it still feels a little weird to be on the other side of that now!
Looking great Bobby 👍🏽🤩
@@gerryortiz7047 Thanks, man!! It’s crazy what some lights and paint will do to a space! The hardest part was downsizing to give everyone some room to breathe!
Amazing collection and display! Thanks for showing what you've done with the accessories. I wonder what you do with the boxes?
@@deeves_ for vintage, I did my very best to collect “loose, complete” because who has space for that many boxes?! 😂 but if I ended up with a vintage box, I’ve held onto those. Anything mainline was always recycled, but I have held onto MP and “most” 3P boxes and I do use those to store extra faces and accessories too… I would say 80% of the ziplock bags are holding vintage accessories because so many of the cars and jets had hands and stuff that didn’t store in alt mode.
So all the boxes I do keep are stored in one closet in a guest bedroom upstairs near the display area
Excellent room. Thank you for sharing it with all of us. Keep up the great work. Question: your large Devastator… what model is that?
That’s the original Toyworld release (I collected them individually as they came out) … I did pick up the upgrade set to swap the head and add some chest fillers. I think some of the later versions came with those standard
At least I can see my dream with my eyes
I often wonder my my 10 year old self would think seeing this room 😂
@@LouboutinReviews right? I want to go back in time and show young me the MS-02 Light of Peace. Or the new MARGH Ultra Magnus
@@TechWizard28 I still remember holding MP1 (or 4) for the first time and thinking that Transformers could never get any better 🤣 I specifically recall thinking about showing it to my younger self so it’s funny you should mention that… my where we’ve come 😂 And I agree, MS02 has become my Main MP Prime!
@@LouboutinReviews I had the Hasbro trailer less no-chrome version of MP-1
4:48 it’s kind of weird that no one has made any 3p deluxe insecticons
I feel like someone will eventually tackle them and Roadbuster etc I’m trying my best to just stick to cartoon appearances, but then you can see I grabbed the Omnibots hahah sometimes it’s for balance like the Omnibots vs Reflector as the mail away figures, but there’s also things like Metroplex and Skylynx that I don’t have room for
My main man! Jesus if I didn’t have to have a studio at home haha. Great job!
@@justblaze yeah, about 8 ish years ago now when we were looking for a home it was a total non negotiable to have a big enough room to house everything … well “enough” things 😂
And he got a kick ass garage space, so we both have rooms to escape to lol
Escape spaces are key! When we built ours i got an entire escape floor Haa.
@@justblazeI have high expectations for your escape floor 😂 let me know when the planning stages start!!! 😆
What's the link for the place that does all the blast and smoke effects please 😊
So the company name is NuSupplyFX… I could be wrong, but I remember a while back they were liquidating some of their stuff so not sure what all is left or if they were pausing production etc… some of it can be a little pricy for what it is, but I bought most of it slowly as they came out and you can’t argue with the results 😂
🤯❤
I imagine those are the exact reactions my 10 year old self would have seeing a glimpse of this room 😂
blown away.. very nice. how often is dusting or do u dust section at a time?
@@sgisaza great question and I honestly meant to talk about it because I got this question a lot last video and I just forgot 😂
Thankfully this is a very insulated home and that room has no windows and doesn’t get foot traffic other than when I’m in there so dust generally just doesn’t accumulate at the same speed as other areas of the house.
The white shelves also help disguise it compared to darker ones 😂
I’m a school teacher, so usually in the summer time I dust about half of it and if I’m motivated then o dust the rest at winter break… but truthfully, if I didn’t dust for 2-3 years you probably wouldn’t really notice it.
In fact, I’d have to zoom around in this video to see if you can even tell, but like I dusted the main wall and the Autobot half this last summer but haven’t touched the Decepticon side since last November… so if you can’t tell too much in the video then woo hoo!! 😂
I’ve thought about getting doors early on but I never really liked all the glare, plus some figures or weapons slightly protrude off the shelves and I find them being open is more inviting to me to walk up and mess with something than having to open a door
Transformers and Christian LOUBOUTIN best channel ever what a great combo
@@willjavtor and I’m over here waiting on the collab 😂 I’d be in TROUBLE!!!
What do you do with the instructions?
So with vintage I always tried to collect loose complete so I never had to deal with that… I do have one closet in the house where I store MP and 3PMP boxes, but if it was ever anything mainline it all got recycled…. I never collected for resale value so I just keep the fancy boxes with all the extra faces etc :)
I have no clue how I would ever store 1000+ boxes 😮😮
Awesome display and thanks for sharing. Any plans on upgrading or swapping out figures? Like the Magic square Bruticus or Fan Toys Galvatron 2.0?
@@sithsim7760 I’m no stranger to “upgrading” figures 😆 that’s sorta why I have that whole row of Autobot cars and Decepticon jets around the center table … but that said I tried to impose a rule on myself to only replace main season 1 characters or if it’s a significantly better design… for example I hated XTB Windcharger and pulled him and Hubcap during the purge 😂 I do think the new Magnus and Galvatron are really nice but so far I’m trying to hold off. Now, if they make a clear/reformatting Galvatron and Megatron at the MP scale then I’d have an excuse to swap out my reformatting Cyclonus display and then I can grab the 2.0 Galvatron 😂
There are always exceptions to the rule, like “no modern CHUG” but I still grabbed the Titan ship modes and some random guys for the Skybound shelves, so you never know…. But anything I buy now has to feel intentional or I have to go ahead and sell off the one I have
Is Bobby Allen Bobby Skullface?
Hahahahah no #TheOtherBobby 😂
But I did submit a previous version of my display and it was the last one featured in episode 33. I always knew I wanted to add lights and paint but hearing their critiques pushed me over the edge to just get it done 😂
I wish I could post a photo, but step one was literally removing every single figure off every single shelf 😂 it was crazy!!! But it was just what I needed to reimagine the space
So you’re not getting that 4 foot Metroplex?
@@PrimeMystique hahahah naaaaah thankfully it not being a G1 Cartoon leaning design made that an immediate pass for me. I’m sure I’ll be tempted if something does come out like a FT Fort Max and I’m sure I’ll do everything I can to find a way to display the city mode or something 😆 I feel like you gotta own ONE crazy sized figure … and it would likely me a Metroplex or Fort Max if I go that route 🤔
Can we be friends please? lol Well done!!!
Sure thing!! 😂 you near Houston? Haha
