Thanks so much for supporting my channel - it's taking me longer and longer to make videos and I'm trying to get past that personal hurdle, but this podcast will be a great way to get more consistent dumbjake content if you're wanting it :D THANK YOU!!!!! AND NEW MAIN CHANNEL VIDEOS SOON!!!!

[@SimplySunky]

I find the concept of the Marvel MegaMorphs toyline to be hilarious. Like, The Avengers created giant transforming mechs to take out that one small guy, and that's overkilling it.

[@dumbjakeworld]

Yeah I agree 100%, but tbh they never stopped making stuff like this. Hasbro’s recent MechStrike is almost the exact same concept🤣

[@serPomiz]

well, bandai recently made a few SHFigurarts of some marvel heroes, and marvel managed to make 2 storylines about that, and it gets even "dumb fun"-er

[@primalconvoy]

Why would THE HULK need a mech? Even if he did, wouldn't be just end up smashing it to bits from the inside?

[@f-106deltadart]

Apparently the designs are based on some old Transtech designs

[@eclipticsolar5441]

The one "little guy" is Dr. Doom so it's understandable

[@prowlus]

little fact . Marvel Megamorphs Hulk and iron man were based on cancelled toy sketches of Transtech Starscream and Megatron

[@A-Microwave]

well that's wrong, it was the marvel crossovers by hasbro not the megamorphs that were based on those sketches

[@sonerec725]

@@A-Microwave nope, it was megamorphs. ironman is based on starscream, and hulk is based on Immorticon

[@EddieDalmunda]

This is why most companies keep everything their contract holders make. I'd flip the designs too if I were in that position.

[@petergriscom3431]

I had two Neoshifters. I don't recall much of the story, but the faction names make me think it's some kind of religious war of the righteous Paladins vs the evil Templars.

[@LordCrate-du8zm]

Where is that store. I need to know for research purposes.

[@thomasrdiehl]

I have a lot of nostalgia for the Happy Meal transformers. They transformed from a McDonald's menu item into either a robot or a dinosaur. Those were just great. I think they even had a storyline.

[@dumbjakeworld]

A total classic!

[@dubuyajay9964]

​@@dumbjakeworld Part 3?

[@hiddenscorpiusXI]

Thought this was gonna be a video about the "transforming" toys which transformation is either bad or non-existent, like Robot Replicas, shell-formers, part-formers, etc.

[@dumbjakeworld]

Definitely a topic I'd like to cover in the future! Apologies for any confusion, I had a hard time titling this video myself. I hope you enjoyed it regardless!

[@Clueless_wafflegator]

You won't believe what video he just made...

[@thedigitaldummy3098]

Since you mentioned Bandai, a lot of gunpla have transforming features despite being model kits and not toys per se. It’s impressive how well they work since it’s all plastic on plastic. No screws or hinges to hold anything place. No glue either. Granted they don’t always look the best (looking at the HG Wing Zero). The MG Zeta Gundam Ver. Ka is a technological marvel.

[@primalconvoy]

You could also include: - Bandai egg beasts (skeleton dinosaurs, Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, etc). - Ghostbusters transforming figures (Toilet, scooter, etc turn into ghost monsters). - Heman rocklord things (can't remember the name). - Matchbox cars that turned into alien robot things (you opened the cars and pulled out the compressed "robot" and transformed it, etc. - Some other Hotwheels-sized cars that turned into robots/animals (can't remember the names). - Gobots, Rocklords (and all the other tf robot toys that came out in parallel to TFs). - Werebears (cuddly teddybears that turned into monster bears by turning their faces and paws inside-out). - TMNT transforming action figures (Leonardo turned into a fire engine, I think?) - Dinosaurez (or something like that) by Bandai. Metallic dinosaur and prehistoric mammal fossils turned into robots. The main bad guy was called something like "Gigano Dragon" and turned into a silver oriental dragon. - Happy Meal transformers (the ones that turned from food and drink into robots) - The precursors to the infamous "Botbots".

[@oldwarriorproductions6194]

The matchbox cars are called Parasites, The hot wheels may be either Robo Wheels or Attack Pack.

[@enigmatique1387]

Dude, Neoshifters, Megamophs and the Star Wars Transformers were my childhood!

[@neji667]

Those MegaBloks Neoshifters toys I used to joke and call them "Neoshitters" because literally any I bought or my brother bought broke immediately. Thank you for bringing back that memory!

[@MisterSouji]

I like how he refrained from talking about the transforming Punisher toy.

[@dumbjakeworld]

LOL yeah that is a certified classic but also feels a bit like old hat, mostly wanted to focus on stuff people may have forgotten or normies have never heard of

[@taso8774]

The digivolving toys were my favorite toys as a kid. Season 2's toys were lacking to me but I loved season 1 and 3's toys. The digivolving playsets were cool too (evolved from one form to another, but also opened up to reveal a whole diorama inside of them with minifigs). I had all 3 of the season 3 digivolving playsets. I loved the digivolving toys so much that I ended up getting every single one of the rebooted Digivolving Spirits figures, even the blackwargreymon recolor lol. It's an absolute Travesty that they cancelled the new digivolving spirits line though. They had Gomamon>Zudomon, Palmon>Lillymon, Biyomon>Garudamon, Guilmon>Dukemon, and Impmon>Beelzemon figures in the works, but all were cancelled. They even showed prototypes of both Biyomon and Guilmon at toy shows, they looked so good, but never released. Hope to god they revive the line one day.

[@dumbjakeworld]

Wow I honestly didn't know digivolving spirits got canceled, that sucks. Was there a Wormmon playset? I either had wormmon or hawkmon, but I can't remember which

[@taso8774]

@@dumbjakeworld There's a Hawkmon one but I'm not seeing Wormmon, the line was called "Digimon Deluxe Playsets"

[@TFanPage101]

I love the idea and designs of Neo Shifters. The only problem I had with the toys themselves was how brittle they were. It wasnt the quality of the plastic, the inner parts were too thin.

[@dumbjakeworld]

Yeah I wish I had mentioned that in the video because so many people have said this same thing. Bring back Neo Shifters Mega!!!

[@dr.bright6272]

My car can become a dinosaur! Suck it traffic jams!!

Please continue this series. In like the early 10’s there were Switch n Go Dinos which were a lot of fun. They were extremely simple and had nice designs with little screens for eyes that would blink and stuff. Extremely fun for a kid. There’s also the Power Rangers Zords toys which were always unique and fun Hopefully those give you ideas!

I think I'll have to continue the series with all the great suggestions I've got

[@4FrogsStacked]

Great video! I was very surprised by your subscriber count, I thought you'd have somewhere between 20k and 120k. The video was entertaining, edited well, and scripted well. Keep up the KZbin grind, man! I think your future is very bright

[@JamiesonHorton]

Congrats on the success of this video! You explain things really well, and deserve the views.

[@dumbjakeworld]

Thanks so much. I appreciate that!

[@joshuaglem1997]

As someone who's gotten a lot of the beastbox cubes, complete recommendation there. They're a little pricy for the size, but they make up for it with quality engineering and plastic. They're pretty dense and well made. The four monkey combiner is pretty baller. Also recommend the japanese crane, the ankylosaurus, archeopteryx, crab, and angler fish. The dogs are good, just a little complicated.

[@snoot6629]

52 toys and Luck cat in general makes amazing toys , there was a megazord one before thats well proportioned , articulate , transforms into boxes and into animals too , krazy shit

[@MailOrderGamers]

You missed the TMNT mutator toys that transformed from normal version to mutated version.

[@blobfischli]

Love this video, but i have a small improvement idea: if you dont want to animate your character thingy, you could wiggle it around (A bit like the Shorts Creator "RoyalPear"). But thank you very much, please keep doing what you do❤

[@MushaGundamMKIII]

Sometime in the 2000s, Bandai released a Zaku II figure that transformed into a Magellan Tank. Dunno if the line went beyond that, but it's neat to see something from Gundam that isn't supposed to be a transformer at all turn into something that is completely unrelated, and have both modes end up looking good. 2Old4Toys made a video on it like 15 years ago, and that's the only reason I know of it's existence.

[@epsilonthedragon1249]

Holy shit. I HAD a Neo Shifter growing up. The Turbofly Shifter, apparently. I had no idea what it was, or anything, since I got it as a gift without seeing any commercials, but coming off of Metroid Prime and Sonic for the first time or two, I was in love with things that turned into balls. I wish I still had it somewhere.

[@dethkruzer]

I think this video does well to highlight how difficult engineering a transforming toy can be. Especially if one mode is an animal.

[@TheAluren]

I'm not surprised you mentioned the Animorphs Transformers, but it WAS unexpected!

[@dumbjakeworld]

I always love to bring up those weirdos

[@yoshi_923]

surprised you didnt mention the D&D Diclings. They're little 20 sided dice that turn into different D&D monsters like Owlbears and Mimics. I own the mimic one and I find it really fun to transform and the design really cool

[@heyheyitsjae2475]

1:27 Funny enough, I got a couple Neo Shifters back in my BIONICLE/Transformers days and didn't find them as cool as either of those, but I did love the little guys included.

[@supersonicfan1444]

If you ever make a follow up video, one interesting line was ionix, a line of toys by spinmaster from the mid 2010s. They were different animals and humanoids/robots that transformed into lego bricks. There were some pokemon and how to train your dragon ones and an original ip called tenkai knights

[@deriqdgraves]

You get a sub and like just from being a fellow Gargomon lover, but also would love to see you talk about more obscure or semi-related figures too!

[@dumbjakeworld]

Gargomon lovers unite!

[@mimmikyute]

I rewatched the OG digimon series when it was on Netflix a couple years back. It’s not just nostalgia, that first season (50something episodes!!!) really holds up. Puppetmon still scares me.

[@KRBrickBot]

The Western transforming robot landscape is limited, probably because Transformers is synonymous with it, but besides Japan, Korea and China as of the past decade are absolutely killing it with countless original robot franchises. The most popular competitors are Tobot and Hello Carbot.

[@dumbjakeworld]

That's a great point! Maybe I'll take a look at some Korean and Chinese TF type toys in the future 🤔

[@sinteleon]

And there's also the classic bakugan, which has been around for quite a while now, and a mix between yugioh and transformers.

[@Sejikan]

good video but the dinosaur gets in the way of the commercials

[@pcjpeh0f9wh]

I've had an ear from one of those Gargomon toys in my unsorted bin of legos and i've wondered what it was for almost 20 years... I completely forgot about it until now lol

[@SynapticBoomstick]

I had the Animorphs T-Rex growing up. I kept it in dinosaur mode a lot of the time because the three human figures were just plain strange to look at. One was a regular dude who had these two huge dinosaur legs for arms and a blocky battery pack for a torso and the other two had heads and body chunks for arms or legs. Very weird but definitely my vibe.

[@dumbjakeworld]

I lost a piece at some point so I just had two weirdo figures 🤣

[@thomasboguszewski7288]

You can go back even farther! When I was little I had a bunch of transforming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys that were clearly piggybacking off of Transformers' success.

[@dumbjakeworld]

Oh my gosh what a great point I totally forgot about those guys!

[@loonytunescrazy]

I got a lot of them too

neo shifters, does sound interesting as a video subject, as well as a type of robotic toy that turns into a car or something like a tank.

[@pupusaboi9452]

Bro you unlocked a deep memory with the Marvel Toy Biz. I used to have Spider-Man and it was like one of my favorites as a kid lol

[@TrueNomadSkies]

Probably my favourite non transformer transformer (along with my random dollar store insect ones) has gotta be my ninja turtle transformer from the 90's. I think they were called Mutations, and the one I have goes from a Porsche to an action figure. His head goes visibly inside the car for car mode, and honestly I feel it still holds up today.

[@jonothanthrace1530]

I used to have a bunch of vending machine toys that were little (like maybe an inch or two tall) insect-to-robot transformers and they were my favorite for a good while. Granted, they were more partsformers than anything else, but still, insect transformers have always been a favorite and not enough of them exist.

[@CoolPorygon]

If you ever get into 2000s MegaBloks stuff, definitely check out their early Dragons stuff. It was a terrible Lego parallel because it didn't have much rebuildability, but the pieces themselves were so cool. Lots of detailed structures, and the minifigs and big dragons incorporated metal/magnets in them for interactions

[@crazygalemt]

I have white noise for beast boxes I own. I hope they make an owl beast ride figure. As I would love that and seeing some more owls in 52toys line.

[@matthewjoyner1595]

Bro you forgot the Dicelings from Dungeons & Dragons. They’re these creatures that transform into dice. They’re really fun and kind of silly. Love them!

[@dumbjakeworld]

Oh my god you're so right

[@T_PLAYER]

greetings, this video made me remember that i myself have owned bootleg transformers. i did some digging for about 10 minutes, and i seem to have found the toyline my parents bought from. its the roadbot line, and looking at the pictures, i know i owned several of them. i am from central/eastern europe, so i have absolutely no idea how well-spread these things were, nor how much of a quality product the roadbot line was, but i do know i had fun with them. my favorite one was a large yellow hummer transformer

[@dumbjakeworld]

Awesome I'll have to look into that!

[@airworks7809]

Roadbots were my inteo to tranformers, and they were cool. Simpler, but not trashy

[@Anton_Kalgin]

What about Macross Valkyries? These are transforming toys (and models), solidly from a different series and are pretty cool. One of them sort of became Transformer - Jetfire original toy is an old VF-1S mold. (Also, Mospeada fighters and armor-bikes, because someone will mention the hack-dub).

[@camhedmr_5593]

I remember these redbull toys/models which transforms from redbull cans to vehicles(the tall european can turns into a plane, and the stubby thai/chinese can turns into mini coopers)

[@ultamate_am1goz679]

Bro, I had the MegaMorph Spider-Man, it was so damn well articulated, and the feel of the plastic, compared to today's standards, was amazing. I really miss Toy Biz figures...

[@AJordan44-]

I had two of the Marvel MegaMorphs, the Spider-Man and the Wolverine ones, they were freaking awesome to me. I loved mechs, transformers, marvel and any kind of robots, so it was very fun to me. I also had the Star Wars Death Star transformer, and that was amazing, but very complicated

[@maskedriderweaver4122]

For the record, the Mega Morphs had their own comic. Each figure came with a mini-comic that was a chapter in the story, though later on they released a graphic novel or compilation of all of them. I got a copy off eBay. Also, while Shapeshifters was full of Spiderman characters, there were several from the X-Men stories and a few from the Avengers as well.

[@legostarwarsman2111]

I had gotten a neo shifters toy at a birthday party when i was in like 3rd grade and totally had no memory of what it was! for years and years the pieces have been in my lego bins and completely perplexed me. I am so happy i coincidentally have gotten to the bottom of that! thank you so much!!!

[@MezTZO]

I used to have a collection of the Neo-Shifters character bios; unfortunately the drive I saved them on went kaput, and with the shutdown of the Neo-Shifters site I never got to replace them.

[@HyperactiveProductions]

some great toys to check out are the Bakugan line. they are Golf Ball sized balls that have magnets and snap into cool creatures when they are place on metal

[@dumbjakeworld]

Oh you don't have to tell me, I'm a cerified OG Bakugan Master!

[@3417gekkou]

I think multiple toys that transform into essentially the same thing but in radical different ways for one form, like with beastbox, is an interesting idea. Takara does something vaguely similar with the shinkalion toys since they're all bullet trains iirc but they're a lot more similar to eachother than they could be. The toys for super sentai series Zyuohger also flirted with the box mode thing in a more simple fashion as well.

[@dumbjakeworld]

I would be so into a western line of robots that just turn into trains

[@manjackson2772]

Hasbro's been doing that too, with the D&D Dicelings.

[@sinteleon]

And there's the king of these concept, bakugan.

[@B.-T.]

You got a few dates mixed up. The Transformers Crossovers stuff mentionned early on was late 2000s (starting 2008) not early 2000s, and Hasbro snagging the Marvel license from Toy Biz was mid 2000s (iirc the Spider-Man 3 toyline was one of their first things released alongside continuing the Marvel Legends line).

I got the big TRex that turns into a Jeep, and love it in both modes. The Jeep is probably more like a Mini Cooper in terms of proportions, while I just love the TRex mode.

I love it, couldn't resist grabbing one on Amazon.

Mattel around the early 2000s had their own Transforming vehicle line called "Modifighters".

[@michaelturner2806]

I remember a long time ago getting some of the form-changing robot McDonald's toys, I had the Big Mac and the fries. Those Jurassic Park egg dinos reminded me of the Rock Lords, a GoBots spin-off whose animated movie was released around the same time as The Transformers The Movie in the 80s. Robots that turned into rocks. Just what kids want, the ability to play with rocks. And parents have to buy expensive rocks.

[@dumbjakeworld]

That's an awesome point. I forgot about those guys. I had Icebird back in the day!

[@thomasboguszewski7288]

fun fact: the mutant beast wars figures were originally designed to be part of the Animorphs line before it got cancelled. That's why they have those flip out "mutant faces" -those were originally supposed to be the kids' faces.
