I'm with you on XTransbots. I was tempted to replace my MP-22 Ultra Magnus with theirs, but that transformation was ridiculous (I also saw that the matrix chamber wasn't MP scale either which didn't make sense). And I also don't like Margh - if we have to blow him up like Galvatron did everytime he goes to alt mode, he doesn't feel like a Transformer to me anymore. Robot mode looks great, but I'm going to stick with MP 22, I still have a soft spot for that guy. Nice video!
@EpykkDyzastur17 күн бұрын
@@supersoundwave The transformation for Margh is actually pretty fun and intuitive. I’m thinking of getting a fourth copy just to play with. I think you should definitely give it a chance. If you truly don’t like it, you could always sell it.
@randeindiana18 күн бұрын
Solid list. I started collecting this year and found you along my way. I did go ahead and order Margh even though I have XT Magnus but the armor intrigued me. I agree on the other XT figures as I just can’t convince myself to get them when the FT is coming next year. I’m with on the Magic Square Combaticons as I think they look amazing. I really enjoy your videos as they’ve helped me along the way trying to get what I can in the expensive hobby. Happy New Year!

The three KOs of Red Dasher are worth a look. Two are currently out, one is a one to one copy with the grey changed to black and a couple of minor improvements, the other is a 90% size version, which comes with a Ferrari water slide decal sheet. Both are less than half price of the UT original. The third is the one with improved finger articulation, only shown in grey scale right now.

Great list! I totally agree with what you said about Magic Square. I bought Brawl and Swindle to give them a fair shake, but they don’t hold a candle to FansToys. Brawl has great articulation, but Swindle is disappointing by comparison. FM-02 Margh is my absolute favorite figure of the year. I bought 3 copies (one for no armor, one for armor, one for alt mode) and they are incredible! Reviews don’t do it justice.

Thank you. I'm definitely waiting for the day Fans Toys begins their take on Bruticus, which will unfortunately likely result in the dismissal of my Ocular Max, but I assume this day is many years away. FM-02 looks incredible despite my preferences. Hoping everyone who went in on him absolutely enjoys him!
@EpykkDyzastur19 күн бұрын
@@fcfinch8931Bruticus would be outstanding! I’m would love to see them do that and Predaking at the same time. From what I last heard, FansToys is only comprised of a few people who design and then the outsource to a factory because they don’t have their own. I hope you change your mind on FM-02. I can understand your stance on him without armor, but if you had it, I believe you would thoroughly enjoy it. I’ve checked out the XTB Ultra Magnus and it pales in comparison. The paint and materials are no where near as good.

In nemesis thoes are not 2ndery neccele's but gigantic disruptor cannons (or maybe 2 in 1) that really do seem hit hard scimitar when you look at its splash on shields and how serious instantly scimitar got. tbh it could be 2 in 1 as the middle wing pods seem to have the same size bolt yet they are 1/3 the size. also impulse engines are in wings and not at the rear... Its clearly shown in movie. How did they got the idea to make it red at tail!? but model sure looks nice.

i need to ask cause i am getting nuts with this-. Sieeg toy boxes all have hidden messages. and jetfire supposedly has one . I have this 2024 which i just got today.... and for the love of squirrels making love , i can't find anything on the box. i can't even find anyone that can shows where to see the hidden message :/ SO.... did hasbro re-issued this WITHOUT that gimmick, or.... is it there and i am dumb? also, jetfire can store 3 titan / prime masters. the cokpit opens and you take teh engine to swicth for a titan master, and on the back, you have 2 seats for 2 more titan masters, and you have the hole port for their back feet to attach. weapon storage.... you got holes, you store as you want. the chest "weaponry" i attached down on th eplane (on teh 2 red handles) with the middle gun only, and some more titan master sitting there, just for the fun of it. his autobot insignia, also rotates for decepticon one. since he was decepticon first in WFC cartoon. so, yes, this guy has much more play value, then any commander of today.
