We truly need a Takara MP 2.0 with toon accurate colors and massive size

[@axtonvance3634]

I dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me

[@axtonvance3634]

@Wayne Collin thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@axtonvance3634]

@Wayne Collin It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much, you really help me out :D

[@waynecollin6888]

@Axton Vance happy to help :D

[@doctorbrown2313]

Nice vid bro.. I still give the win to that Gigapower squad.. Choices are indeed nice to have.

[@walkers198]

Deuce on that.

[@artnandez]

I third that! I’m surprised he doesn’t like the look of the Gigapower bots, since I feel they are a great mix of G1 toy and anime look. But to each their own

[@doctorbrown2313]

@@artnandez Indeed..

[@bryanmaietta]

Just picked up Grinder and couldn’t agree more that he looks great and is perfect scale.

[@qemuel]

I still need to pick up that head for Grinder. Great video! Grimlock is my fiancée's favorite Transformer, so we have about a dozen of him in our collection (and growing). Love 'em all. Enjoying this series, thanks!

[@pushtheball9829]

I still like the oversized mp-08 grimlock

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I don't understand how you can feel that way about the Grinder. I don't. Grinder is one of the most hideous figures I ever made the mistake of paying for and it looks NOTHING like the character proportion wise. Plus with the alt mode being toy inspired, and the robot head being specific shots of the cartoon inspired, he's got no unified identity.

[@domydomy6668]

Eh I’m not the biggest fan of the robots look the Dino is interesting but I ordered the gigapower one so hopefully he doesn’t disappoint

[@trainwreck9567]

Hi Sixo - long time TFW lurker here. Finally, I get to say how kickass your photography is and I hope to see an Arcee Master Class video in the future. Thanks for the great content and keep up the great work 👍!

[@TriNguyen-bp1ck]

You did so well.Please keep it up Sixo

[@grand_max66]

Shame this guy doesn't seem to be in-stock anywhere. Always preferred his height for the MP's over the OS KO/Superator height.

[@adrianli7559]

Although I like the look of Superator a lot more, the lack of an ankle tilt (the correct way) is a serious dealbreaker.

[@turtleboy4111]

@SixoTF, I'm just curious to know if you've got any plans to continue this list, mate?

[@oscarrobledo547]

Got into collecting masterpiece transformers late in the game the prices are even higher than before

[@conorgray511]

Where are people able to buy a Grinder these days? I feel like I haven’t seen one in stock in years!

[@Thetazord]

Brilliant idea for a series. I can’t wait to see what is next. So far I can’t disagree with any decision. I have been praying that fanstoys makes a Cliffjumper or at the very least Takara uses the mp-45 mold and makes a Cliffjumper out of it because that is the only season 1 character I am so disappointed for not having a version I am happy with. Then if someone would make an Ultra Magnus that is just a little smaller than the Takara version I’ll be able to complete my collection with pride.

[@tedpalmer1537]

The UK comics version written by Simon Furman is a far more engaging character than the cartoon version. I would also pick the Gigapower offering over Grinder, the grey plastic looks incredibly cheap for a figure that can cost £350+ and the whereas the X version fixes that I am not committed enough to spend £500+ on a single figure.

[@petd3321]

Great video and content as always. I disagree though and was disappointed with Grinder. I think this fanstoys mold of MP Grimlock is the worst of the third parties. I like fanstoys overall a lot and their take on dinobots is what triggered the competition. They look more G1 than gigapower which is great, but they don’t look better necessarily IMO. And they’re too small. Hoping Takara will actually make a set of MP dinos with gigapowers size and paint job while looking more G1.

[@TheMikePrior]

I had a difficult time getting a copy of him, I even downloaded the app. Man those collectors were weird! Always sending nasty pictures of themselves, saying terrible things and wanting to come over and see my figures. I ended up with the Gigapower version, eventhough it isn't toon accurate. Hopefully they reissue him...

[@kmkirste]

What app is that?

[@TheMikePrior]

@@kmkirste I was joking around about the gay dating app called Grindr

[@feqol]

@@TheMikePrior LOL

[@Ascendedninja6]

At least you got him 😂

[@blue18404]

Also, can you do a piece on MP 18 Bluestreak?

[@gliscorraider9076]

I truly wish I could get Grinder. Unfortunately he has been scalped, out of stock, or unfindable. If I could find him at a reasonable price that doesn't look sketchy I would easily buy it is unfortunate I can't find him anywhere.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

This, Grimlock, is king!

[@pow6174rbpf]

Thank you for this great Masterpiece masterclass video.. Can u make one for Springer?

[@barefootbaron1748]

Love Fanstoys, unfortunately their products have become increasingly difficult to obtain. Luckily I have grinder and its an incredible piece

[@blue18404]

Is he the best?

[@blue18404]

What is the background music you use for your videos? It is great.

[@DanielGreen07]

I always thought Grinders head was too big

[@FinalWarsGodjira]

Is this series dead? Was really looking forward to the characters that have a number of 3rd party releases and no official release yet.

[@gerrynomar1522]

When you want gundam and godzilla at the same time

[@gerrynomar1522]

Also but yeah three things but you get the point

[@toretilo]

Grinder is the worst for me, I hate the proportions indeed. Pity MP08 KO isn't Grinder size, it would be perfect for me.

[@iodaspark]

Informative Masterclass! PS. Prefer the MP original due to it overall fun factor; in spite of personally owning all his other FT Dino comrades. Stay photogenic!

[@scottcampbell9515]

Would all 5 FansToys Dinobots fit on one Detolf shelf togethering in robot mode without it feeling crowded?

[@enriqueae7532]

I totally agree with you!!

[@Levi_52_336]

I prefer Superator myself, but to each their own.

[@SixoTF]

Definitely! The benefit of choice.

[@TechWizard28]

This is amazing

[@AAX1975]

Great. FT Grinder. Then looked at the price. Welps, guess not.

[@rodimussubprime]

i like Fanstoys in bot mode and gigapower in dino mode

[@MaVeRiCk77]

I love FT but Giga takes the win here for me. Easily too.

[@michaellacson372]

Can I please ask where you found his autobot stickers?

[@SixoTF]

Toyhax.com

[@zit11owner]

Meh. Nothing available. Both old molds at this point too. Hopefully something better soon.

[@SixoTF]

Something better in what sense?

[@brianfarkas8172]

War for cybertron and studio series figures are just a step or 2 below these for 1/4 of the price. I’ve sold all my masterpiece and have built a way better, more diverse collection.

[@ViewpointProd]

2:06, was ai isolation really nessicary? the film has a 5.1 mix with separate music & effects + voice

[@khamla616]

KO Reximus Prime is the best

[@sergiomcbeth1798]

Megatron should be next

[@yaboi5832]

Been a while for this series mp masterclass you should do them mor e often

[@MacGivre]

Grimlock est vraiment beau, mais ce modèle-ci n'a-t-il pas un problème de taille ? Il me semble qu'il doit porter des chaussure compensées :p Grimlock is really beautiful, but doesn't this model have a size problem? It seems to me that he must wear platforms shoes :p
