Kingdom Retrospective: A Toyline that Lost the Thread

[@bilal_Hadjlaoui907]

i honestly love the idea of kingdom being a mix between obscure characters and a reimagining of the beast wars characters,i actually love kingdom,we got a solid figures like galvatron and optimus,rhinox and we get a robot mod reimagining of the ark,i give the line 8.5/10

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I'd put it very high my self. Though I would have to disagree about Rhinox, that's one of my most hated figures of all time.

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

[@celestialalkaid5721]

I feel like if Hasbro managed to get all the beast war season one characters out in kingdom (since thats what the line is promoted by) I’d have very high regards of the line

[@tfninjadoom]

@@celestialalkaid5721 I agree, but honestly the way we got gems like Cyclonus and Blaster makes me still not hate it at all. It's at the same level as Siege for me.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I never collected much Beast Machines so I've never experienced that.

[@RADkate]

kingdom felt like earthrise leftovers with the same cat mold 8 times in different sizes, though looking back at it it gave us the best figures of the trilogy in terms of engineering.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

That is absolutely a valid viewpoint.

[@finalbossgamer5481]

1:41 I feel like Vertebreak isn't a fossilizer because they're so small, and it'd be difficult to make them partsform and become weapons. The best i think they could have done is give it a third mode where it takes from battlemasters and turns into a weapon without partsforming. Like that rhinox gun thing we got for ROTB.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I think there are at least a few things they could have done.

[@skullkidding]

I only got into collecting around the middle to end of kingdom, honestly what a line to start on. I love them a lot especially Cyclonus, galvatron and Blaster.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I got back at the Tail end of TR, and the start of PotP. That was OK, getting back in Siege would have been amazing, but Kingdom is definitely the next best line after that. It had some of the Highest Highs of the decade, though it is worse than Siege because it also had some of the lowest lows.

[@_Sideswipe911]

When you said it confused you that it was odd that Paleotrex was a Predicon but his head was primal’s weapon, I think it’s because as far as a story goes, I think primal ripped his head off and used it that way

[@joziahcastillo1936]

Is Legacy a 1 season series that is like a Multiversal crossover, if so when is that ever going to happen? It just seems like a toy line to celebrate the years (not saying it’s bad just curious)

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I'm not sure quite what you mean by that, it had a show, and the show was WRETCHED. I think Legacy is supposed to be a Celebration of all the years. Kingdom was Meant to be the BW line, I think I make sense of it in my next script so stay tuned for that.

[@remus_lupin]

I'm pretty sure Legacy is supposed to be another 3 year thing. Hasbro's gotten stuck in a trilogy mindset. I'm pretty sure it's eventually getting fiction, but I'm not sure when.

[@konstantinszelcs2766]

I've heard/read that Hasbro wanted to have a Transformers: Legacy show (likely as a sequel to the WFC trilogy), but Netflix didn't want to do it.

[@remus_lupin]

If Netflix doesn't want to screw up another Transformers series, that's fine by me. They have no idea what quality means, or they just refuse to pay for quality. Not sure which. I'm sure there'll be comics, or Hasbro can do a series themselves or give it to a competitor. I know the histories of most of the non-comics-only characters, so I don't need fiction to get me to buy. Legacy is guaranteed at least 2 years, given Wave 2 is listed as December, but I'm pretty sure I've read 3 years.

Kingdom for me was what really got me back into transformers. I'm here for the Cores personally. Cheapo boys, really fun transformations, and it's just neat.

I throughly enjoyed kingdom. I have I belive a majority of the figures, and I don't have problems with most of them. Yes it was a mixed bag of characters, but it was really fun and allowed me to fill a lot of gaps in my newly started collection. Another good video PE. Keep it up

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Thank you so much, I think I might have every last TRUE Kingdom figure.

[@acer3721]

Kingdom had a lot of heart put into it from the start, and that was evident with the way some of the figures were designed and how they turned out in hand. Unfortunately that can only go so far. Still one of my favorite lines since I've gotten back into collecting, but I kinda wish wave 4 is where it ended off at. As opposed to shoe horning in 2 figures at the last minute to artificially extend the line by a few months

[@PerspectiveEnd]

One of my favorites as well, and I think there's a clear reason as to why the line had a lot of heart at the start, you will hear about in the next video.

[@AntiDecepticonCampaign]

Looking back, yeah the line doesn’t make sense after getting the better versions only now and definitely learned to wait for the better to come out later. Never again Hasbro, never again.

Great video PE, was hoping you’d do a Kingdom Retrospective.

I can see from a Beast Wars fan’s…perspective…that it did seem to taper off near the end but I’m still so glad it exists, really interested in your thoughts next video.

[@cupsonplushproductions5959]

Epic retrospective PerspectiveEnd!!! I had a similar figure-swapped-inside-the-box story like you did with Ultra Magnus. I found a copy of Kingdom T-Wrecks where the original figure had been swapped with Age of Extinction Scorn, true story. my least favorite Kingdom figures are Rhinox, Tracks, and Hot Rod. :P Keep on being amazing.

Cyclonus, Dinobot and Blaster made Voyager my favourite class once again. And the deluxes were okay, but Red Alert smashed the rest out of the way. I'm just glad the failed Scorponok mould made an absolutely fantastic Sandstorm who's quality is up there with Kingdom Cyclonus

Yeah, getting the Legacy Galvatron, I really do enjoy the figure a lot. There are only two things that could make this figure better, in my opinion. First off: a better head. While the one we have doesn’t have a bad head, the helmet of it is bit more ovular in shape. I think we all would have loved a head sculpt closer in shape to how Galvatron’s head was in the 86 movie. Second: I wish they would have made a Galvatron with the bluish-purple color he had in the 86 movie. While purple is the more baser color of Galvatron, that blue tint he had in the 86 movie made him pop out a bit more for me. The only company I’ve seen that’s come out with a Galvatron figure that is closer to his color scheme in the 86 movie is FT when they released him in his FT-16m variant. Now X-Transbots’ Galvatron does seem like it may have a closer color scheme to what he had in the movie, but we’ll have to see when it fully releases. With that said though, I did find someone on Reddit who repainted their Kingdom Galvatron with the movie accurate colors, and it looks beautiful. It’s under r/transformers and posted by FCB323 if you want to search it up. Or just look up Kingdom Galvatron repaints.

Absolutely, that's one of my main problems with the Galvatron my self, that head just ain't it cheif. I think that Color is only on some transfers of the movie, this purple feels pretty close to what I saw in the movie, though it could stand to be a little darker. I don't know how to search reddit by user, can you link?

Kingdom fell off the Empire State Building.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

What like Kong?

[@droz6460]

Yeah pretty much

[@Pterodactyll]

I like how you didnt even finish tracks transformation

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I did off camera, after he broke my light box. Rip Light Box you've been with me since the start of my channel.

[@luisgonzalez-ii3gc]

Low-key I would've liked to hear the "Snyder Cut" of this video - Cyclonus 🤣

[@PerspectiveEnd]

What about Cyclonus? And I mean I will be making a second half of this video so just combine the two and that's the full cut.

[@georgemitri1171]

I am thankful for kingdom for getting me back into transformers (being a beast wars fan) they were very affordable, partly nostalgic, plus I dig the realistic animal takes, it separates them from the masterpiece. This would also lead me into getting an actual masterpiece figure when I found a discount (Masterpiece Dinobot)

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I get that, but it's not like they've all been done in MP, infact it's only like 5 of them so far. I'd be down for Realistic Beast modes, if we had EVER gotten accurate one's before that weren't MP.

[@NeilBlumengarten]

It definitely is a better cap to a trilogy than PotP. That one felt like they had given up and just pumped out more CW with a few new molds.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I thought PotP was Ok, but it definitely had no idea what it was trying to be.

[@louking9045]

You know honestly I snapped The Claw on my copy of Blackarachnia I was super glue it back together but I've never attempted the transformation again after that

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Makes perfect sense, that is one of the thinnest parts of her body. Sorry to hear about yours.

[@alexholker1309]

I'd like the Fossilisers/Weaponisers more if they were designed as Loadbearers. Even if the core robot just folded up like a Headmaster, depicting the character as a self-contained robot who has been augmented would fit better with my concept of what a Transformer is than if it's a self-assembling pile of body parts.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I'm not sure what you mean by load bearers.

[@alexholker1309]

@@PerspectiveEnd A Transformer like Ultra Magnus whose spark is well suited to augmentation. So instead of Slammer's torso being nothing but an adapter piece once you steal his arms and legs, you'd transform it into a smaller robot mode.

[@dialNforNinja]

I really do need to pick up a Blaster before they're not available at or below MSRP. I actually like the character almost as much as Wheeljack, but somehow things keep coming up first.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I mean it's in two lines currently so there's a good chance he will last a bit.

[@superomegaprimemk2]

With Waspinator, I think Hasbro & Takara dropped the ball, they should of made him a weaponzier, so that we can recreate some of the scenes where he blown to bits and has to put himself back together!

[@PerspectiveEnd]

That's what I've been saying since he was announced.

[@qwertyzillaofficial2969]

I don’t think he should’ve been simply because his transformation doesn’t typically partsform besides the gun

[@SKAR__FOX]

The had rise of the beasts coming out. Hence the holding back on realistic beast alts

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I mean rise of the beasts isn't exactly having a realistic beast modes?

[@sideways198]

Good thumbnail

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Thank you, it's the aspect of the video I'm actually most proud of.

[@BertoBoi]

What a wacky toyline this was, and I missed out on most of it due to Hasbro's crappy distribution. Thanksss!

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah they are pretty terrible.

[@BertoBoi]

@@PerspectiveEnd At least I managed to pick up some of the BW characters, they're good.

[@bytisoli]

Heh, even though it's just a minor issue, I'm glad blackarachnia didn't snap at that breast tab, even though I've converted her at least 20 times. I think someone said they changed something about that tab, so it wouldn't snap, but I'm not sure

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Is it paper thin? Cause if not they changed it.

[@bytisoli]

@@PerspectiveEnd i think it's thicker

[@EnerJon90]

For beast wars megatron I feel like they used the same rubber/plastic as regular dinosaur toys or ones from dollar store or in gift shops

[@kubaxterg9994]

Man, it hurts that my Soundwave joints are so crap he cant even stand or having his head on the front cuz it's falling over. Even his shoulder cannon is crap.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Your Kingdom Soundwave has tolerances that bad? Man that sucks sorry to hear that.

[@Offstage_p]

10:01 earthrise Optimus is one of them? Right?

[@marchanuscakii9337]

Ohhhh a cliffhanger. Really. I should hate you but I don’t.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I didn't mean to do this. I didn't want to.

[@marchanuscakii9337]

Joke m8. Don’t worry bout it. Gives me something to look forward too

[@raptorprimal1077]

If one thing I wish ALL lines would end is clear plastic joints. Windows and cockpits for clear plastic is fine. But using it for joints is something that ruins even the greatest figures

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah that's an amazingly bad idea for them to keep pulling.

[@Prime-Productions]

I know this is late but wfc was basically what was out when I got back into transformers after 4 years or so I mean I did get one potp figure but it hit hard when I found out wfc was over but thankfully legacy had been great.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

That was a pretty good time to come back into the fandom.

[@collector1996]

[@romajikaiser8450]

yeah I noticed that too. its kinda stupid and I had to turn down the playback speed for this

[@qwertyzillaofficial2969]

When?

[@ruslanantonov9981]

I can’t be too harsh to this line, because it returned me to collecting. But it hurts that I needed to wait for legacy to get my favourite character from beast wars tarantulas and not from BW line

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Yeah, all the Season 1 characters should have been in kingdom.

[@monster-mecha_enthusiast_2002]

If I'm being honest, I don't think Kingdom's toys like the Beast Wars characters weren't the problem, I think it's the G1 fans that give us Beast Wars fans alot of disrespect ever since Beast Wars came back.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

The Geewunners have been giving us Disrespect since the show first came out 25 years ago. They can't handle the best part of the franchise, because it's got animals in it.

[@someguyonhere8486]

I haven't collected Transformers in years and I've started again because my brother introduced me to Beast Wars. Ever since then, I've slowly started collecting Beast Wars figures. And I've heard your opinions on Kingdom and Earthrise. Honestly, I kinda like those figures and I'd definitely start my collection with those figures like my brother has. Although figures like Rhinox I wish was better becuase I piss my pants every time I transform his legs. Man they feel fragile and are real hard to get them in their place. Like couldn't there been a better way of doing this or something?!?!

[@PerspectiveEnd]

Hey! Nice! I love to hear someone getting into Beast Wars. I love that show so much. And yeah I hate that Rhinox's legs. They are just a nightmare.

[@robertserphillips7373]

if we hit 10k by august 9th (my birthday) that would be pretty cool also can we see power of the primes battle trap since it was the first figure i got after coming back into collecting.

[@PerspectiveEnd]

I should review more old figures. And hopefully we can hit 10K by then together.
