Making those figures spin without falling off is so much fun to watch.

[@peterboginsky111]

All we need now is metroplex

[@GeneralQuack117]

G1 grimlock and G1 sound wave are my favorite transformers in existence, love your content man

[@pauloteri741]

If you add the toyhax decal set to ER prime, he is HANDS DOWN the best modern interpretation of the g1 Optimus prime at a retail price point, sure we can argue the MP 3.0 Optimus is great but it's also $400+ you can have this Optimus maxed out at less than $100

[@papermelon]

Not only that, I personally prefer the look of the earthrise Optimus. I’m not big on the perfect toon accuracy of MP 44

[@pauloteri741]

@@papermelon plus as a collector that lives in reality, with a budget, it's hard to justify that kind of $ on one figure(MP Optimus) when I could get a whole frickin wave of figures if not more at retail for that same money.

[@papermelon]

@@pauloteri741 for sure. I actually bought MP-44, and sold him within a week simply because I couldn’t live with the guilt of owning a $500 9 inch figure with too many accessories to even display. I’ve also decided I’m not collecting MP’s because the mainline figures do 98% of their jobs at a way better scale and price. Now I’ve got to admit, I’m a sucker for MPM’s lol.

[@ajhill5094]

The blue and white variant of omega Supreme is awesome, too. The sculpted detail really pop in that color scheme, too

[@shaunhandley3050]

I agree, I started towards the end of earthrise and missed out on omega and I'm glad I got guardian robot as I think the colours are way better

[@DonaldWWitt]

​@@papermelon I just bought the Guardian Repaint because I needed an Autobot Titan to balance out getting Nemesis after already getting Titans Return Trypticon as the Nemesis stand-in against Autobot Ark. Glad to hear it's a great figure, as I went for the Omega Guardian both because he was easily available AND smallest of the Titans.

[@tcogproductions]

I 100% agree about earthrise is the best line in wfc. I sadly dont have many earthrise figures but they are all really good. So many good characters. Yes it had qc issues but it was covid. Siege had the battle damage which couldve been skipped imo but still has its gems. Kingdom had all the beasts which isnt for me. That leaves earthrise! I dont really have any flaws with the line.

[@iplayRowblawks]

It's genuinly the WORST line outta them all. Perspective end makes some really good points about earthrise.

[@iplayRowblawks]

Earthrise Megatron, ironhide, and bumblebee are partsforming garbage, and earthrise Prime has some extremely unfortunate kibble placement while having a poor excuse for a trailer.

[@tcogproductions]

@@iplayRowblawks I don't really care. It's my opinion plus I don't like perspective end. He treats everything like it has masterpiece budget. Plus I have to put everyone of his videos on 0.75 speed

[@nicholasgrier5886]

Glad to see you back man Keep up the good work!

[@BraveBladeProductions]

I have the Netflix Version of that Optimus Prime Earthrise mold and it's one of the most fun figures I own. It feels like a high end collectable without compromising on the play value. In fact it's one of the few figures that I transform for fun sometimes.

[@Xyabra]

I am very impressed by the amount of shorts there are of this 1 video. I think it is genius how indept each rank figure is and opinion works well enough to be there own separate thing. Great job I would copy this idea, again. 10/11 :)

[@smokinstudiosart]

I LOVE THE OMEGA SUPREME FIGURE SO MUCH, It’s such a good figure that I actually don’t display with the rest of my figures (And it is to big too ._.) I collect especially War for Cybertron Figures and it’s one of the best, when I’m having a bad day, I just give him a hug and I feel all better too XD, That might be just me but in my opinion, Blast Off or Count Down (The Mini-bot, I can never remember his name) is so cute, He is so precious and his compatibility with omega supreme is awesome!

[@chadfloyd2236]

I love the fact that the movies got you into collecting. I really liked the first three movies alot even though I'm a big G1 fan which is what I grew up with. I was 10 years old in 1984 so the old school G1 stuff even in all of its simplicity is still my favorite toy line. I didn't start collecting until the 07 movie came out so I wound up with a few nice OG ones and several reissue ones since the OG's are so expensive. I don't many of mine open but there are a few I have bought duplicates of so I can open and check one out. Love the videos and I subscribed to your videos too. I have a decent collection and it's a combination of all the random generation figures all the way back to the G1 days. What do you think about the robosen grimlock coming out??

[@obsessivefanboy7]

U pushed me over the edge I'm going to fix me a Grimlock

[@P3RDEGREE]

[@shaunhandley3050]

The unpainted calfs on optimus are the same as the netflix version and is meant to represent the realistic look of the underside of a vehicle, all the pipes and metal parts you see underneath aren't painted the same as the top of the vehicle are they lol so the grey just represents the metal of everything underneath, hope that helps you look at it differently

[@craigjohnston5129]

At ringlets phenomenal I'm going to end up buying my first Transformer eventually so complicated one so it's going to be cool read everything perfectly and I understand how full is our depends on their head to body ratio on everything

[@DPXEntertainment]

I have qualms about his proportions in both bot and alt-mode. But I enjoy both modes, nonetheless. For me, I prefer the bot and altmodes of Thrilling 30 Metroplex and TR Fortress Maximus. However, the alt-mode of g1 Fort Max has yet to be dethroned, in terms of Titan base modes. A lot of play value was put into consideration for that figure.......and LOTS of accessories. These days, sadly, such isn't the case.

[@PurpleHolocron]

Underrated

[@smoketastic4158]

the wfc siege and earthrise has the best toy lines while their shows kinda “sucks”, I really agree with your opinion inside the video!

[@jordanelbertnathanaelsibue7818]

If they ever gonna release SS86 Optimus, my only wish is him having an axe that sticks with the arm like SS86 hot rod's saw that stick with his arm (and maybe a paint the gun more with black)

[@andrewchan1837]

Skylynx and jetfire are good also. Cool list.

[@stevewalker3641]

Missed out on Omega Supreme, tried really hard to get Netflix Bumblebee but to no avail, ebay prices for it are ridiculous. I do have the WFC: Kingdom Ark, I think it's a fantastic figure. I hope to get the upgrade kit for it. I'm not sure if Ark would be my number one figure if I had Omega. I absolute love my Earthrise prime.

[@jonmason1742]

Awesome list, Where does Skyfire rank on your list?

[@papermelon]

The commander class version? He’s a great figure, just a bit clunky. He’s an awesome looking display piece though. All the figures in this ranking video are either a 9/10 or 10/10 for me, so comparatively skyfire would probably sit at a 6.8/10.

[@shaunhandley3050]

Nice picks, I unfortunately don't own the netflix bumblebee but I do have goldbug and agree he is a great figure. Same for ss86 gromlock but I do have the toxitron and again a great figure, I'd say my top 5 would be (5) potp optimus, (4) earthrise snapdragon, (3) netflix soundwave (2) earthrise optimus (1) legacy transmetal 2 megatron. I just love that figure especially in dragon mode and those wings! If I owned haslab unicron it would without a doubt be number 1. People might not agree with my top spot considering I own the armada prime and quite a few titans but I just love that megatron, even more than seeing him in the actual show lol

[@wyattfields5580]

Haslab Unicron is up there for me purely by how big and detailed he is

[@cobaltdragon7072]

Still feels like Studio Cell

[@omarquijada9979]

Thought for sure Siege Jetfire would be on your list. Netflix Soundwave deserves a mention as well. Solid list though.

[@papermelon]

Siege Jetfire is a great figure, but in my opinion a bit overrated. He felt a little cheap in hand, and his transformation/jet mode just isn't quite enough to put him in my top 5. Maybe...top 15? Either way his bot mode looks amazing.

[@iplayRowblawks]

Ooh, Dr. Lockdown probably wants to speak with you.

[@Dragonbl8zer]

top 5 favs: 5: WfC Seige Snapdragon: Snapdragon is a triple changer that is really well built and has really good engineered parts which makes him really sturdy and easy to pose. he comes with a minicon which is his head, this is the only really big complaint, but the transformation to the T-rex alternate is very janky and the head for the dinosaur can be difficult to get out at times, on top of that, the head minicon is very stiff with some sharp edges to it, so I have cut my hands before on the teethed legs of the minicon. those are the only two small snags about the transformer, other than that, the two alt modes are very seamless and show little to no parts of the other modes, this is definitely good, especially for a deluxe class figure, I would recommend for display, but I wouldn't recommend for play unless if you want some skin sacrificed. 4:Titans Return Trypticon: When you hear of Trypticon, you think of a massive dinosaur that towers over its enemies and thats exactly what this transformer is, its a giant dinosaur with two alt modes, a ship and a city, the only complaint I have is that they did have to make some budget cuts for the city mode because it barely really looks like a city, it has its legs split and form two wings of the 'city' and a main area with a ramp and two large towers, but besides that, theres really not a whole lot of merit for there being a city alternate mode. The thing that makes this better is that it has a minicon which scales really nicely with the other WfC figures, full-tilt. Full-tilt comes with a minicon, that being its head, its read is used for some gimmicks with the dinosaur mode, but this is definately really good, the head size is really good and it makes this giant transformer feel even more big and intimidating. another drawback is that trypticon comes with A LOT of sticker and really mean A LOT, it took two people, myself and my uncle roughly 2 hours to apply all of the stickers, so if you want to carve out an entire afternoon to apply stickers, you can do it, but some are so tedious that it may not even be worth the time and patience. this is a pretty good 9/10 3:WfC Earthrise Skylinx: Skylynx is amazing in his alt modes and is extremely good for both, you see little to no overlap of parts, which is where other transformer triple changers would fall. Blitzwing and many others are prime examples of these figures with overlapping parts. Skylynx has not just 3 modes, but 5 modes, one is a combined form of a dragon and if you know me, I'm a sucker for dragons. there's a shuttle alt mode for the dragon. The two can split. Sky becomes a bird, and lynx becomes a cat, Im counting that as 2 since they both have a transformation in combined mode, and each have there own in the animal alt modes. Then the two can come together and form a space shuttle alt mode which is amazing and I have little to no complaints with the figure except the fire pieces that Skylynx comes with are too heavy or the joints for Skylynx's neck is too weak, but that is the only complaint I have, this is an amazing figure, and I would definitely recommend. 9.7/10 2: WfC Earthrise Optimus Prime: I have no words but wow, this figure is extremely good transform and is really fun for play, I would definitely recommend, the only snag with this character and the other Optimus figures is the head, its really easy for it to get stuck in the alt mode, but besides that, this character is flawless 9.9/10 1: WfC Seige Omega Supreme: Seriously, go and check out Paper Watermelon's review of him, he can give more praise in depth more than I ever could.

[@multivewer]

As someone who owns this figure I can agree, but how did you get his little thingy to stick to its leg like that

[@TheTransformersFanEver]

I loved Unicron. But not why you think That Haslab Unicron panel forming turd was my favourite. I bought 2 of it, but saw reviews before it arrived. Terrible paint, knock off stand and panels all over. I sold both unopened copies I had, bought for £500 each, for about £2,500 each.

[@annrichards2244]

I had that buy broken

[@KOAHUNT3R]

I agree with all of your picks, but I feel in a different order. I think personally for me, it would be: 5. Netflix Bee 4. Shockwave 3. Guardian Robot (the Omega Supreme mold I could afford. I would love to get my hands on an actual Omega Supreme one day) 2. Earthrise Optimus Prime 1. SS86 Grimlock. Optimus and Grimlock are super close for me, though. They flip back and forth. I think what stops Optimus from being number one is that if his hip skirts were cast in white plastic, then his legs would've looked a lot more in proportion, while Grimlock's proportions are dead perfect. But still 10/10 figures!

[@papermelon]

That’s a great list. If it makes you feel any better, had I made this video now, grimlock would probably be #1

[@The_one_filipino_guyVR]

[@jacobfoster9185]

I REALLY like this product ! That said it BOGGLES the mind that NO-ONE has thought " well I can only display them in one of it's modes and all the problems, things we complain about and things we hate are ALL caused by the need to transform. Wouldn't it be SO INCREDIBLE to have each character come in 2 items within the box..1 being the robot perfectly detailed and articulated as well as in scale with all the other characters. Lots of extra hands, faces etc. Then the 2nd piece would be a vehicle perfectly detailed and working doors, rubber tires and in scale with the other vehicle forms. They'd look WAY BETTER NO KIBBLE !!! We could have little articulated people with each character and they could fit inside the vehicle and be articulated..look good. The manufacturing world be far less expensive, no need for time and money going towards engineering..less expensive for the consumer, More profitable for the makers, Able to display in both forms at the same time. Much more durable..NO FLIPPIN KIBBLE !!! That said

[@papermelon]

Interesting thoughts, but sorry: I've got to strongly disagree with you here. 9/10 times, I won't buy a transformer that doesn't transform. Period. it's a transformer, that's what makes it special. The engineering genius, the technology, the improvements made over time, all of it comes together to make the Transformers brand as special as it is. I don't collect G.I. Joe or Hotwheels because they don't do what TF toys do. The brand would immediately flop if they committed to a non transforming toyline to replace the current ones, because its all in the name. That's what's made it stand the test of time over the last 40 years.

[@lyokomajor]

Earthrise is the part of the trilogy that I have the least figures from. IMO, it's the lackluster series of the 3. If they'd kept the cybertronian alt modes, I'd be saying differently. I have more Siege than Earthrise. And I have more Kingdom than both.

Unfortunately the reason Siege Shockwave got all the hate is because of the bullshit they pulled by trying to say he was a "Leader" class. They basically shoved extra parts in with him to justify the price. And i say this as someone who likes the extra pieces

[@papermelon]

It was somewhat valid at the time, but since then it’s become an irrelevant complaint since that was the first of many new leader classes that used the same method. That’s become a regular practice, whether we like it or not, so I get tired of people still saying it’s overpriced since that’s a dated complaint. Now legacy blitzwing?

So lemme see... 5. Planet X's Fall of Cybertron Shockwave is vastly superior to the old Hasbro Deluxe...and yes, their stuff is largely on point with Voyager sized peeps - that is, Voyager BEFORE the second Great Shrinkdown of the War for Cybertron Trilogy. Siege Shockwave just works better without the Doc Ock add-ons. 4. Earthrise Optimus's trailer sucks, though. I had no intention of getting it, but I caught the trailerless Walmart Netflix WFC-T version on sale...and the figure is a cool mold. 3. THIS mofo and Netflix WFC-T Soundwave both need reissues or regular releases. 😒😒😒 2. ...they really, really, REALLY need to reissue the SS86 Dinobots. I don't care if it means making a grossly overpriced box set. 😒😒😒 1. You hit a homerun there, good sir. Though Titans Return Trypticon was pretty good as well. (I'm surprised that Takara still hasn't retooled it into a modernized version of Beast Wars II Gigastorm by now, also surprised they haven't done a slight repaint of Generations Selects Earthrise G2 Megatron into BW2 Megastorm, either.) But wait. No love for Kingdom Ultra Magnus (specifically the G1 robot mode of that retool, NOT the original Siege version with its hybrid G1 & Car Robots/RiD01 styling), Siege Jetfire, Earthrise Skylynx, Siege Springer, any of the Kingdom Beast Wars peeps, or Kingdom Rodimus Prime??
