@@Shockwave-thelogical A protoform is a transformer that doesn't transform. They were most commonly seen in Beast Wars, Bayverse, and Prime. Though they only ever did anything in the second and third Bayverse movies where they acted just as effective as Vehicons
bruh yolopark literally made model kits of the cogless forms which is basicallt protoform for tf1 characters, its literally mentioned in the video, istg people these days don't actually watch the videos and just head straight to the comments to judge based on the thumbnail.
I love Yolopark. For $30 you get a highly accurate, highly detailed figure with none of the drawbacks of it needing an Alt Mode. No hollow parts, no kibble, no wonky proportions, no limiting articulation.
Marking 3:00 as proof for later, I KNEW that little silver and black one existed, my friends thought id gone mad because they'd never heard of vehicle only transformers toys but i knew i had at least one, a little silver and black one with outwards folding doors with guns on the inside holy shit thank you so much for this video
Blokees REPRESENT. Wait till you see the ACTION CLASS which are 50$ each and currently is just G1 Prime and Megatron. Theyre basically full on Gundam building mode like building the exoskeleton first and then applying the armor plates
A good expansion to your "Transformers that are not transformers" series would be the various transforming robot cars that appeared at monster truck rallies over the years (Robosaurus, Vorian, galactron, megasaurus, etc.) After all, most of them were hevily inspired by transformers.
7:22 Heyooo! This battle masters line was part of a Transformers boxing game that was shut down a long time ago. This is why it was made by Hasbro Gaming
Great video! The reason Windblade and Arcee Furai models look like that is because Flame Toys hired an Ero/H-artist for the designs, and the designs were dictated by the fans.
It defies the main gimmick. The move is so bold that it's almost admirable yet so stupid that it leaves me dumbfounded every time I try to fathom the thought process.
I can tell you the exact thought process to hopefully fathom the bold move. They either want to make cool designs or 100% accurate designs, and don’t want to be limited by the alt-mode. Some designs literally cannot physically happen because of the alt-mode. So they sacrifice an alt-mode to give us a damn good figure. I get it, Transformers are meant to transform. But in a market where we already have countless toys that *do* transform, having just a few that don’t but give as a *really* awesome design that’s not bound by physical limitations, I think is a very good reason to do it. Some of us like collecting for the love of the character designs, not the gimmick of transformation.
@CesarGameBoy. I like collecting to see how they achieve good character and vehicle design in one toy, but I see now that there's more of a personal preference aspect that I hadn't considered until now.
The only RPM toy that interests me is the Sideswipe doing his stabbing pose. I'm personally a Transformers purist, so I automatically filter this kind of stuff. You know It's more impressive if something that doesn't look like it could transform, transforms tbh. On a sidenote there is a 3P of IDW Drift and Optimus Prime based on Flametoys aesthetic.
There was a 3DS Game released based on the Stealth Mode series! Transformers: Dark of The Moon - Stealth Mode Edition. I got it 1 time and I was seriously upset that I couldn't transform into Robot Mode.
Dude, when I clicked on this video, I DID not expect to have nostalgia flash backs when you brought up mashers. AND THEN YOU TALKED ABOUT THE ROCK EM SOCK EM TRANSFORMERS AND MY SOUL ALMOST LEFT MY BODY. I spent hours upon hours playing the mobile tie in game, and I collected the toys (til they started breaking, but DANG they were fun) I'm subbing solely because of the nostalgia trip you just took me on.
Revoltechs Transformers were goated. The G1 releases based on the dreamwave comics design were cool, albeit the mold were rather gummy in the details. The sexiest one is no doubt the DOTM Optimus. Probably one of the best bayverse Optimus figure to date.
As a fallout fan i hate Threezero with a passion because they make good power armor figures but they go for hundreds if not thousands, and they're literally the ONLY company making official possible power armor figures
I am sorry really interesting video but more importantly WHAT GAME IS THAT BACKROUND VIDEO FROM?! I need that game so please I just want to play as a tank and make things go boom
I’ve always believed this. The only reason a Transformer figure shouldn’t Transform, is if it’s meant to be 100% accurate to the design it’s based off. Apologies for the purists, but some designs literally can’t be accurate because of their alt-mode. Transformers Prime has abysmally obvious mass-shifting, but every design in that show slaps, and I want to keep that design on my shelf without having to deal with a butchered version of it. I have a non-transforming G1 cartoon-accurate Soundwave, and so far it’s my favorite toy in the collection. It looks exactly like Soundwave from the show. And personally, I’d rather have a 100% accurate toy than a semi-accurate toy because of an alt-mode I’m probably never gonna play with anyways. There are few exceptions of course. Lots of Studio Series toys look phenomenal, but some still fumble the bag because the alt-mode just *has* to be accurate.
I love Flame Toy's stuff. Their Lio Convoy kit comes with a cape. Like an actual velvet cape with a wire inside so you can pose the cape like it bellowing in the wind. Flame Toys kits are next level. Though I do wanna get some of those yolo park TFOne figures.
If I recall correctly at least in Latin America Hasbro also made a line of Titan hero and Playskool heroes transformers toys that not only don't transform they barely move at all
Yeah Blokee's has been poppin off. They put out a BUNCH of Ultraman and Kamen Rider and I am all for that. I hope they get into other Transformers I'd love a Blokee's RID2002 Scourge.
I actually got the Megatron figure from Blokee's Classic Class and the toy is actually very nice to have in your room as a collection item. The plastic is nice but the torso plates had a bit of a gap when the figure was finished
Very cool video. I did want to mention that to my knowledge, at least the ones I have, another difference between RPMs and Speed Stars, is that some of the Speed Stars are made with Die-Cast metal, so that could be why they have less paint on the bottom, since now they had to fully paint the top of the vehicle.
Looking back on RPM, I had an idea for a Unicron playset similar to the Devastator one, where you have an RPM Hot Rod zipping through Unicron's innards to get the Matrix, then launch out of his eye.
I remember getting an speed stars thing as a stocking filler circa 2009 and i genuinely didn't know it was a transformer until about 3 months later when my mum said so the paint was so shoddy
I've recently gotten into collecting Blokees Transformers, and to me they're the perfect toys for play. I would gladly sacrifice the ability to transform if it means having a sturdy action figure to play with 🙏
5:23 I just got hit with a wave of nostalgia, and I don't even think I have ever seen a trailer for Xtractsuars let alone buy a product from it. Either way, I would love to see a video on the topic and what happen and if people are trying to make the online game playable again or not
I used to think non-transforming Transformers were a novelty as well until ThreeZero released Revenge of the Fallen Megatron back in 2022 (I think?). The detail is emaculate and the articulation is incredible, though not perfect. Although I guess you could say my fascination with the ROTF Megatron stems from a major deficit of screen-accurate toys of him that aren't cheap KOs of the Studio Series.
I have the non-stylized Flame Toys G1 Optimus kit from when they were first starting the line and I absolutely love it. Good quality plastic overall and the gloss finish on the red and blue parts looks great. Great to pose on the shelf with my other non-Gundam plamo kits.
Hey Jake! Im enjoying this video, i havent watched yet but have you considered talking about CAR-nivores by Fisher Price and Mattel in your Transfromers that arent Transformers series? My appolgizes if you talked about it already! Anyway gonna keep enjoying this video :>
Hero Mashers was fun to mess around like Optimus Prime Head on Marvel Thor looked pretty good. Along with making Figures of characters that probally never get a real one like Doc Ock Carnage from PS1 Spiderman game or Darth Jar Jar. The Dino bot transformers parts was re used for Ironman figures in the line too.
I love the Classic Class Optimus and Megatron, they're so cute! I *would* collect some lil Blokees kits, but I want an Elita and Jazz and they're not in that line for some reason.
i haven’t watched the full video yet, but in my opinion, the transformer’s r.e.d is a unique way of making transformers toys, unique as i say even though there’s multiple brands that do the same, but on my opinion, these kind of transformers bring us more to the action figure side of toys, more than the transforming, which is not necessarily a good thing for some people, but in my opinion i’d very cool
I remember some power ranger that could "transform" in their zord, they were pretty much the power ranger with the zord bent as a bagpack, would be funny for you to review them if possible
my main gripe with non-transforming transformer lines is that they almost never do characters that actually dont transform. i reckon RED would have sold much better if they had some Pretender Shells, Quintessons, or Autobot X
Mix n match dinosaurs? If you haven't played Lego Jurassic World yet, you would love the dinosaur creator. It's literally that. Can even change colors and scale patterns. I love using one with a velociraptor body, dilophosaurus head, and stegosaurus tail. And has the abilities of all three.
speaking of Dollar Tree, there's a small line of figures they had that, unsurprisingly, do not transform. it's currently on their website if you look for it. I bought Starscream and Soundwave last year and they stand under one of my work monitors. I'm not even really a Transformers fan, I just thought they looked neat lol.
