I genuinely hope these guys weren't fired in the massive layoffs y'all did because they're genuine gems to the community

[@pj7342]

Ditto.

[@fungboy3993]

They are all fans and grey up with the toys so they are doing a dream job

[@wolf1701A]

I really hope these guys get to keep their jobs

[@heavyiron3.016]

Hopefully these guys and Sam keep their jobs.

[@ZombieOmega]

Ultra Magnus’ voice actor was Robert Stack (movie) and Jack Angel (cartoon). Angel also played Astrotrain, Smokescreen, Ramjet, Omega Supreme, and later Cyclonus. He played Wet-Suit on GIJoe. Flint’s voice was Bill Ratner.

[@trtx84]

I died laughing at "Dommy mommy." Those were all laughs of "we're in trouble..."

[@Pachinosin]

Hasbro should use all that Haslab money they made for unmade products to pay employees instead of boosting their profit margin for Wall Street.

[@Recoverel]

I think the reality is much more complicated than this. If a private equity company is controlling Hasbro, then it may have forced Hasbro to borrow money that it cannot repay and then forced it to downsize its workforce and streamline its operations.

[@Pachinosin]

That the fact that you said forced Hasbro is what’s wrong with capitalism.

[@mgproductions6074]

They do these massive layoffs usually around the time when they spend a bunch of money to buy a new property (Like they did with power rangers) which then after they start getting profits back they upsize

[@jimmyrobot3170]

We need 86 Grimlock reissues

[@JoseMartinez-df2db]

We need Swoop also.

[@bloxbox1]

theres no way they called the nemesis that 😭

[@zaxitron2714]

Dommy mommy they know what’s up

[@nemesisprime8115]

Valid opinion tho. Thing is it's official now💀💀

[@MicronOnline]

its a bit inappropriate

[@gallantbug6542]

Big Mommasis, amiright?

[@tf_crispy]

Lots of great figures this year, can’t wait to see what 2024 brings along

[@pj7342]

Hope you guys get to stay, and get support. You clearly enjoy and live the brand.

[@Rhinox1788]

Please Hasbro we want more figures from the Bayverse universe!!

[@DukeHauser-yq9ou]

For my top picks it’s gonna be SS86 Commander Class Ultra Magnus, Legacy Evo Core class Optimus Prime and Bumblebee 2-pack, Legacy Evo Deluxe Class Shrapnel, SS ROTB Voyager Class Optimus Prime, & the Wildcard is TFTM Retro Kickback because I dig the energon cube and the 80’s nostalgia.

[@Jeradactile]

SS 102 Prime, Armada Prime and SS 86 Ultra Magnus were my favorite. I hope SS 102 gets an update to clean up that back section. Fun video guys.

[@cuddyfox6973]

When talking about Skar, talking about 2024. Is Paddles in the plans for a toy? He is the only sea Dino that the Autobots have.

[@A-Microwave]

all of 2024 has been leaked except for gen selects figures

[@cuddyfox6973]

@@A-Microwave They do bring out some surprises from time to time, like Magmatron.

[@johngolles342]

This was such a joy to watch, keep doing these every year you guys!

[@Zo1dus]

9:00 they call the Nemesis dommy mommy

[@thunderprime07]

My favorites are : 1 transformers studio series rise of the beasts voyager optimus prime 2 transformers legacy leader class g2 toxitron 3 transformers studio series rise of the beasts leader class optimus primal 4 transformers legacy evolution dreadwing 5 transformers rise of the beasts leader class scourge 6 transformers shattered glass 2 pack rodimus and sideswipe

[@SovereignKnight74]

2023 is hands down 86 Ultra Magnus! Now, bring on 86 Swoop!

[@emerje0]

Core: Studio Series ROTB Arcee Deluxe: SS86-22 Brawn Voyager: Tarn Leader: Dreadwing Large Scale: Deathsaurus Wild Card: Nova Prime

[@christophersichler98]

I wish Tow Line was a new mold with a much closer robot mode, alt mode, and conversion to the original toy and animation model. Also, when you redo Sky-Bite, it would be nice for the figure to be much closer to the original toy and animation model with the clearance issues ironed out. The T30 toy is all wrong.

[@StarWarriorPrimeReviews]

- Core class SS (blue) Rumble - Deluxe class toxitron G2 Sideswipe - Voyager class SS 102 Optimus Prime - Leader class Amazon Nova Prime - Big Bot Armada Optimus - wild card shattered glass hot rod and Sideswipe 2-pack Glad you boys did this it's fun to see each of the Hasbro teams share little things like this accessory teasers, top pick draft figures and pipelining.❤

[@vriderch1360]

Unionize your workers. Stop laying people off and make the top brass take a pay cut. Having a bunch of streams isn't going to distract that you laid off 1,100 people.

[@whateverwhatever8094]

This was done before they did that though….. and yeah I agree but saying it here isn’t gonna do anything.

[@ejcarron2283]

Socialism doesn't work. You're not going to fix all your problems by taking from the rich. Rich people are the ones who start and run companies that you benefit from. Unions are terrible. Elon Musk showed with Twitter that he can fire most of the staff and the company still runs great. The workers are often lazy and stupid. That is why they are poor. The rich people are rich because they are smart and made good decisions.

[@3BTV1976]

Go away

[@Jeradactile]

Go picket in front of their headquarters instead of the comments section.

[@casualknight8962]

What you going to do about it cry some more ? literary there are more important things to worry about than how many people a company is laying off don't get me wrong its horrible that happened to those people but stuff like this happens almost every year .

[@NightmareZerogbs]

Keep up the good job guys! and please fight tooth and nail against the budget department, because we know what you're capable of...but sadly we also know how gimped your craft gets sometimes because they force you to cut corners on your original intentions :(

[@giovonniiclayton]

They won’t

[@erickcastaneda9589]

Didn't you just fire like a thousand people?

[@JP-qb3ny]

I hope you guys bring in more legacy G1 styled combiners next year. I want Areialbots, Comabticons and Protectobots please……

[@Zyugo]

I would be down for MPG Devastator.

[@trtx84]

"Oh great so it's a beard sandwhich again." Is that a....regular thing....?!

[@irontitan8933]

"Wink wink, make it pink!" 😂

[@Ionicblood666]

I feel bad for the workers 😢

[@DarkB_Andy]

My figures of this Year: Core - Snarl (Legacy Evolution) Deluxe - Bumblebee (Studio Series 100) Voyager - Tarn (Legacy Evolution) Leader - Optimus Primal (Studio Series 106) Big (Commander/Titan) - Nemesis Wild Card - Wheeljack (Buzzworthy Bumblebee Jungle Mission)

[@finlay8346]

wonder when we will get 2025 leaks hoping to see windcharger and octane

[@slamdance7683]

WHAT DID YOU CALL THE NEMESIS

[@harrisonwhaley7872]

Thanks for a fun celebration gentlemen!

[@SixshotRevan]

86 Frenzy, Beachcomber, Tarn, Nova Prime, and 86 Ultra Magnus. I've been collecting Transformers since 1993, and all but Frenzy are in the top 50 Transformers of my collection. Frenzy is still pretty close to top 50.

[@robfranklin6412]

These are my pics for 2023 Transformers Core Class: SS86 Ironhide Deluxe: Needlenose Voyager: Bludgeon Leader: Tigatron (he was released early in the shops here in Australia) Large: SS86 Ultra Magnus Wild Card: Mainline RotB Airazor

[@UncleChunt]

Wild Card: Menasor. Large: Armada Prime. Leader: Armada Megatron. Voyager: Trashmaster. Deluxe: Armada Hot Shot. Core: SS86 Frenzy

[@HAVV1C]

Core: Bomb Burst Deluxe: animated prowl Voyager: as much as I love Tarn A+ figure but Leo convoy had a more involved transformation and I'm a sucker for those beast figs Leader: still waiting for my SS primal I'm sure I'd give him this slot but based off what I have I'm happy to have a blitzwing in my collection Large: Armada prime Wild Card: Turantulis Honorable mentions 1st hotshot was really hard not to make him the best voted deluxe I love the toy and charter but ultimately it felt like a remastered reissue of the original which is fine 2. The mini bots I love the mini bots charters so getting revisited is always nice, 3 bombshell and shrapnel, inspection nation!!!

[@highlander-jb6jv]

Thanks for this. It was fun. I'm sure the office is pretty gloomy right now. I hope all is well with you guys. As for favorites: Core would Rumble, Leader G2 Grimlock, Deluxe Detritus, Voyager Bludgeon, Commander Ultra Magnus, Titan Nemesis.

[@ApceHNN3046]

I Like these figures too

[@braydenpage1808]

SS 102 Optimus Prime is my favorite Transformer I bought this year. His truck needed improvement but that Robot mode was amazing 😎

[@nipock3037]

Could we maybe get a SS86 dedicated seeker mold, Please

For my list( man this was hard😂😅) Core: Snarl Deluxe: ROTB Bumblebee (variant) Voyager: Bludgeon Leader: ROTB Optimus Primal Big fig: Motor master / Menasar (I know he came out last year but I finally got him this year and he’s awesome) Wildcard: Detritus😂 Can’t wait for next year! Keep up the great work guys!

[@ashtonarroyo5487]

I want the rest of the Rescue Bots done!!!!!!! @hasbro

[@MrGrayWallace]

Hasbro has to give us Swoop. And I'll probably play Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark.

[@DrunkenSinner]

Awesome video guys, I love the behind the scenes stuff you all do. Most of us can tell you’re just as big of fans as the rest of us. As for who had the winning team, it’s a tough one but I gotta go with Evan. Magnus, Prime, Snarl, a new Dinobot, and 2 out of the blue picks with the 2pack and Gen Selects. Well done!

[@jrmolina783]

I started to go into core class figures. With volcanicus as a first combiner with that scale I'm hoping to get another core class combiner like devastator. Or❤perhaps more core class figures.

[@Zyugo]

Perhaps soon enough, a Landcross/Energon Powerlinx set might happen if they give more focus on lesser popular universes.

[@the90sVampire]

Scourge 102 wow. Amazing thank u guys so much

[@cristiandecaminus760]

Transformers aligned live

[@Driftquantum01]

Let’s go!!

[@arcadecreative3641]

I was old enough to spend my lawn mowing earnings during the release of Gen 1. And Go Bots, still love em’ all. Why hasn’t Hasbro released a line of mythology-free transforming everyday cars? Everyone wants their ride as a figure. Seriously.

[@dinoknight1252]

86 leader Snarl, Legacy Animated Prowl and Rise of the Beasts leader Optimus Primal are my top 3 figures of 2023.

[@ObsidianXprimex]

I’m going to say something controversial frenzy is blue and rumble is red

[@primeboy1256]

Man you guys are awesome !!! Always looking forward for more figures and characters you come up with. Happy holidays everyone 🎄

[@Marc048b]

Please do this for 2024 as well. this was an awesome video

[@vensentramos9292]

Complete the seeker from the original color of ramjet and thrust!

[@giovonniiclayton]

nothing wrong with other stuff but when you literally side line bayverse completely it’s just wrong. I have to honestly say this is the worst year for studio series no bayverse stuff,a lot of the stuff we got this year was based off concept art something that goes against the whole point of the studio series line,we got the gamer edition line which was a waste sense all the figures except for optimus was objectively trash,and we had to deal with ss-86 shelf warming in Walmart and targets

[@topspinthewrecker2625]

It's sad to know that they only released the Mohawk 😔

[@grahf4215]

I'm loving the abundance of female Transformers lately. There's so many of them right now. Flamewar, several Elita Ones, several iterations of Arcee, several Airazor, Antagony, Nemesis, several Nightbird, Override, several Twitch, Crasher, Minerva, Strongarm, Windblade, Kaskade, Javelin, Shadowstriker, several Slipstream, Erial, Burn Out, Road Rage, Road Rocket, Tyrannocon Rex, several Chromia, several Blackarachnia, Axlegrease, Hashtag technically has a toy right now and more I'm forgetting that also came out recently. It's really cool to see so many female Transformers on shelves when they're usually so few and far between. I even put Shadowstrip, Laser Cycle and G2 Mirage with them. Bring on more if you got them in the works. The Victory, Revenge, Darksyde, Axalon or anything else. Make them all female and bring on more female titans. Speaking of starting "teams" and then not finishing them though; I sure would like Titans Return Horri-Bull and especially Squeezeplay. Why even bother making a Titans Return Fangry only to not make the other two to finish the set of Decepticon Headmaster Jrs? Then again, we do only have Minerva currently and an old Nightbeat, two Titan Master only Nightbeats and a Punch/Counterpunch that's colored suspiciously like Nightbeat for some reason. Oh and technically a Go-Shooter too but that was a very limited figure. That Galactic Odyssey Punch/Counterpunch looks great with a 3D printed Titanmaster compatible replacement neck piece with Takara Legends Nightbeat Headmaster and modified G1 Nightbeat Reprolabels. It's like that mold was made for the G1 Nightbeat labels after you make the appropriate cuts in them to accommodate the transformation.

[@andrewhinschen6433]

I can't wait for Hasgoons to release their Pinkerton Playset

[@AnthonyAA-bt2lm]

Deathsaurus, Brawn and Ultra Magnus were legit amazing. They look and feel premium, and I loved completing Menasor. Can’t wait for Magmatron ❤😊

[@JasonSawyer]

Might be recnecy bias, but that Reactivate Optimus would be absolutely perfect if the gun had a longer peg.

[@davenipples]

I love this time of year when everyone makes videos of their favourite bots. It is a sign of how good a year it has been for TFs that none of these made it into my top 5. There is still so much good stuff in there though. I would say Mark's list edges out the others as my pick. 👍
