Lost a G1 Optimus prime and Ultra Magnus along with so many other G1 autobots in a storage container in Cape Coral Florida that i hung on to for 30 years. Makes me weep when i think of it. the loss of the auto bots was more severe than the divorce with my wife at the time
I bought a KO sunstreaker and I must have gotten lucky as everything is superb on it paint and joints wise if put it up against a real one in a quality test anyday. Your collection is awesome I love it . I wish mine was as extensive
I've got all the G1 Transformers from 1984 to 1986 (and most of 1987), but I only have a few Masterpiece Transformers. I'd love to have more because they're awesome looking toys - but you know how it goes when you start running out of space for cabinets and shelves. That said, I do have a KO Masterpiece Prowl and it's a fantastic looking toy. It was also pretty darn cheap - less expensive than most of the original G1 and reissue G1 versions I've bought. I'd buy more if I had the room; they're excellent representations of the comic and cartoon versions.
Third party is something I've never really been to into, but I've been more and more interested in Iron Factorys stuff because the pocket sized bots were always my favorite scale for a while. They're also giving us a Death Cobra figure and that is a cool thing to see.
At first I had many reservations about KO figures. Then I got 3 statues of Dark Souls, KO from the Banpresto originals, I was surprised by the quality of the details, while the plastic was quite fragile I had no complains. After that I got a Figma Goblin Slayer KO and a Yorha 2B KO.
Hi Micheal,Great video about Transformers KO and 3rd Party Collection(Patreon Special Missions), Keep them coming also your latest Video was awesome, Also a Stellar but superb collection! Thank you for showing them. I Absolutely love those GRIMLOCKS! Also your collection is still out standing third party or original, I appreciate the time and effort you put into such a collection Micheal Nerdmaste🙂 Also as always outstanding, Micheal,Also Dusting the room must be a sonuvagun! Beautiful collection my friend! Also Wow! What a great but incredible collection.Also Excellent collection. I too agree with you the 3p trailbreaker and hound are both better than the official, Also Toyhax has an amazing label set for Open & Play Springer. It's very worth it and makes that figure pop! As for the mini Figures of Spike & company Spike & Company the mini Figures are superb, Also The Transformers KO And 3rd Party Collection are very good, Also Amazing but Spectacular Collection and video Micheal all I can say is: Thank you for not only sharing but also for taking the time to honor my request all I can say is: keep up the good work stay safe out there in Canada have a good night and Nerdmaste.🙂🟢💪👍🇺🇸🦸 4:39 am.
Same. Started 4 years ago around this time with Spoiler and now currently 24 and soon to climb. Definitely need their Variator and Tube one more month until Inquisitor 5:51
I have all those Ko autobot figures. They’re not bad once you put some Toyhax stickers on them. That’s the one thing they didn’t make good was the decals
I only own one Takara masterpiece and it’s sideswipe I have a few of the KO masterpiece Lamborghinis They have a few flaws but all in all for the price you can’t really complain they look great next to each other
I know I’m talking to a pro, but did you ever check out the TFC Toys, MP scale GI Joe/Transformer crossovers inspired by Don Figueroa artwork? Supreme Tactical Commander (Rolling Thunder Optimus) and Tyrant ( Destro’s Dominator Megatron)?
I can remember when I was a kid. I would see these odd knock off brands of Transformers. One I remember was a Devastator knock off. He looked just like the original except he was ether yellow or orange. I would usually see these in drug stores for some reason. I actually have a G1 Top Spin knock off from south america somewhere. He is red, and their is no actual flip up function. Other than that he is pretty cool.
Beautiful collection. I agree with you the 3p trailbreaker and hound are better than the official. The hound neck armature is unforgivable for both aesthetic and fragility.
I have two ko G1 optimus prime but their head sculpt looks really off compare to original. also one of the leg is dangling. Arms are loosing too, I actually manage to use glue to fix leg and arm issues. Also for KO there is a metal clip that will scratch the arm when transform to cab. I polish it a bit to fix them. Get the sticker from toyhax as the one come with KO is really bad and not sticky. I feel like you paid what you get.
Xtransbots made the 3p cliffjumper i bekieve. Attempting to watch as well as comment lolz. Any fanstoys figures in your 3p shelf? And Primus shall provide. Fanstoys Outrider Hitch and Willis are Trailbreaker Hoist and Hound. Love their Dinos. Recommend their Rig Hunk aka Huffer and Btawn and i could think of several more lolz
I used to have that kind of room until the day came for us to move into a smaller rental housing then my collections ended up in boxes and in storage.. 😢
Another epic video!! Which 3rd party fortress maximus is the one that’s regular size to fit in with the other headmasters like in the comic? Please let me know.🙏🏼.
Another company reissued Infinitor in metallic colours. Can't remember what it was called though. It might be a cheaper option if they never reissue the original.
@@MichaelMercy yes, it was zeta toys, showz has sold out of that one as well, hopefully a KO of it comes out, since the prices on eBay for this figure are really high. Thanks again Michael 😎👍🏼
The Fall Guy truck is an official 1/18 one that was released a few years ago. It's terrible! 😆 So many breakages right out of the box, one of the poorest quality things I've ever seen. The Ferrari isn't an official Magnum one. Just a cheap one I found on eBay with black seats. Doors don't even open, but it looks nice enough just sitting on a shelf. Hard to find one just like Magnum's with tan seats in 1/18.
@@MichaelMercy Just done an eBay search - that Fall Guy truck is pricey! Especially for something badly made! Found some 1/18 Ferrari's with tan seats too, but they're not cheap either! Maybe some day...
It’s amazing how great of collection you can have with these 3rd party companies and companies like toyhax , abd not have to spend an arm and a leg. Great stuff Michael !!!
Some official transformers are as bad if not worse than the KO versions for plastic quality at the least . My Hasbro mp09 Hotrod /rodinus I darent even look at in fear it falls apart on me again . I replaced both arms a few years back that both fell off from me picking it up and moving them ! Just ridiculous

I can honestly say 3rd party saved me from giving up on transformers collecting
Same.
I agree 100%
It's been 4 years since the switch to 3P. No regrets at all
Amazing collection and video my friend! Thank you for taking the time to honor my request!🙏👍😁
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. All the best to you and the family. 🤝
@@MichaelMercy Thanks brother! The same to you and yours!🙏🇺🇸🇨🇦
A stellar collection!! Thank you for showing them. Absolutely love those GRIMLOCKS!!! 🦖

Awesome display as always, love the boxed g1 along with the transformed g1 and robot modes
Great video. Love the way you display your Transformers. I saw a custom Arcee G1 box online which looks awesome. I wish it was for sale.
Now I see your Hannibal Fort Max 😅 Got those FT bots all over your display room. Well played, i approve

That's a beautiful collection there!
Thank you!
My Masterpiece layout is going to be the same as yours I love it!
Wow!!! Now thats a collection to be proud of. 👍👍
Nice mp 3rd party collection thanks for sharing
Great collection! Thanks for sharing!
I had a original Jet Fire as well bought for me from my grandmother and complete Die cast. gone to the storage wars
Toyhax has an amazing label set for that Open & Play Springer. It's very worth it and makes that figure pop!
Cool! Thanks for the tip.
I only own one Takara masterpiece and it’s sideswipe I have a few of the KO masterpiece Lamborghinis
They have a few flaws but all in all for the price you can’t really complain they look great next to each other
Some were re-released in the UK/Europe, Japan and Australia in 1990 some of these are missing their moulds
I’m in awe of the masterpiece style mini bots. Those look great, and why Takara hasn’t done those totally mystifies me.
Yeah they could have cranked them all out quickly, but they've focused more on the real life licensed cars for the 84/84 Autobots.
Outstanding, Michael!

That's funny because Hasbro did both a yellow and orange version for G2, knocking off the knock offs. That'll show 'em! 😆
Beautiful collection. I agree with you the 3p trailbreaker and hound are better than the official. The hound neck armature is unforgivable for both aesthetic and fragility.

Just got a ko sun streaker, bumblebee, and wheelie from temu. Sunstreaker is cheap but bumblebee and wheelie are awsome
Where’s a good place for KO G1 transformers
Where did you get those mini figures of spike and co. that fit in the G1 vehicles? I want those!
They're by Impossible Toys.
Wow! What a great collection.
Thanks!
Also if anyone found a mint shape original Metroplex,,, that was in the container as well.

Dx9 did powerglide called it Richthofen (Red Baron) and they were knocked off I have it it’s shocking hahahahaha
Wow... in your 1:18 vehicle shelves, do I see a Magnum Ferrari and a Fall Guy truck?!
Yup!
@@MichaelMercy Are they legit - or just good 1:18 stand-ins?

I think the G1 ko quality have drop i got a Grimlock from 2013 and its super stirdy compare of the same ko g1 reissue from now !!!
Love it
Neat.
knock off sounds appropriate because they knock off the logo insignias and name to keep it safe from copyright
😆
Love it, Mike!
Thanks!
Cliff jumper it's from x transbot

KOs are great. Gives me an opportunity to collect at reasonable prices...its just plastic
