2024 TOP 10 MASTERPIECE TRANSFORMERS AND IT WAS A SOLID YEAR!

[@scottblanco5991]

Really looking forward to more MP Magic Square. Really shocked the system with their releases. I could see them challenging Fanstoys in a few years.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

A Megatron from them would be highly popular

[@lareh5501]

12:30 the way to remember the color/names is flipping the FIRST letter that's a difference between them. Runa *_B_* out, flip the B for B:Black Runa *_M_* uck, flip the M for W:White

[@quentonclark4279]

Nice

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Good point thanks

[@TW-SB]

Mike, what are your thoughts on Top Spin and Twin Twist? I am surprised XTB has not gone in on them.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Those would be great!

[@saysoun752]

Easiest way to remember which one is Runabout and Runamuck are by their colors. Runabout is black and Runamuck is white. B is for black which automatically makes Runamuck white. I also picked up all these figures with the exception of XTB Ironhide / Ratchet. I'm looking at their SG Ratchet though as that color scheme looks really good to me.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

The SG does look great thanks

[@scimasterJ]

Great list. I'm pretty happy with all the stuff that came out this year, and I might check out some of the stuff I don't already have! One thing about the MPU coneheads is that because they're their own sub-team, I don't mind having them be a little smaller than my current Seekers (the Maketoys instead of the DS, since I like to transform my figures without having an aneurysm).

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Such a shame Coneheads usually get the shaft even from Hasbro with breaking them up into exclusive 2 packs

[@jamesstaggs4160]

Every single time I see Bruticus I hear Starscream yell "Combaticons! Form BRUTICUS!"

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Ha! He is their creator sorta

[@MrKickdoh]

Still feel Deformation Space seekers are too tall.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

They might be but I like their look more and they win but Takara still did great work

[@MikeD974]

My 10 would be - 10. Maketoys Slipswarm 9. MP yellow hoist 8. Fanshobby Hosehead 7. MMC First Aid 6. MMC hotspot 5. MS Swindle 4. Fanshobby Clench 3. Fanshobby shattered glass Armada Optimus Prime 2. MS Brawl 1. Margh

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Lots of cool stuff and many I did not handle so good to know they are solid figures

[@ManumusMaximus]

Ummmmmm the ab tab for the a crunch is super suspect on my Ron. Xtb could have done that better

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

Yep you have to tread lightly there

[@markcastellanet9672]

MMC does so much more with their engineering and I do not want flat figures. I like extra details on them.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

This is why options are great for different tastes

[@markcastellanet9672]

@tydiriumhanger1320 this is true.

[@MrButtafinguz]

Good list. Definitely agree with MMC Groove. All their other Protectobots so far are great. MMC does a great job using just plastic. They are sturdy & well made and don't have the additional weight that would cause loose joints over time or impact posing. Magic Square is off to a great start as well, headed in the same direction with their MP Bruticus. That being said, I really am looking forward to FansToys Devastator (my favorite combiner). Ghery is built like a tank and I can't wait to see how well they all fit together.

[@JW-dc8hk]

I agree with regard to MMC’s sculpt of the Protectobot and Defensor but I don’t think all of the plastic is cohesively strong. Strong in certain places I can agree to that however First Aid’s mirros are gone and I didn’t even really treat it unusually in any significant regard. Groove’s handle bars and mirrors are more in line with model pieces and those should have been metal of some kind. Hot Spot’s feet should have been metal and same goes for his soft rubber mirrors. In summary the sculpt has been great but there are some pieces that won’t last 10 years which is completely unacceptable. That aside I’ve always been an MMC fan however I’m still in but they need to give us serious collectors parts that last. Charge me but give me the long terms parts and pieces.

[@MrButtafinguz]

@@JW-dc8hk Good points. I actually broke one of the rotating tabs on my Hot Spot that holds the arms down in combine mode, but it was completely user error-tried to force it. It still works, I just need to use a spudger now to get it in place.

[@JW-dc8hk]

@ @Mastermindcreations I see. Yeah and it’s like frustrating because the sculpt of the piece is fantastic but critical parts such as this should be more thoughtful. MMC should remedy the way that they don’t current use stronger materials for critical parts.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

FT Devy may be the winner

[@JW-dc8hk]

@@tydiriumhanger1320 Yeah in terms of quality and longevity that very well maybe true

[@miles501st]

Surprised to not see that Ko Fugu Model G1 jetfire? Also, x-transbots fan boy😂😂😂

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

That one is not really MP though is he

[@miles501st]

@tydiriumhanger1320 yeah but it's a thing of beauty
