The Best Starter Masterpiece??? |

[@ThatToyGuy]

And of course I forgot to fold out the little belly bit of detail. Pain

[@mechgouki7999]

I have to say, I own both MP and SS86 Ironhide, and the chug looks better than the masterpiece. Also, wait till you get your yellowing on your Ratchet. It will happen.

[@Autobot-Revs]

I really think that Masterpeice is a great Idea! But, my wallet feels a different way. I feel like we can get a more simple (Somewhat more accurate?) figure with 86, legacy, and just the rest of the mainline

It certainly brings him into a better light than his 1984 toy

[@primusvsunicron1]

well that’s designed to be a piloted mecha

[@fennekin1750]

Well, duh. Ironhide's original toy was a battle station mech thing, not a proper "robot"*. *y'know why I did that; its cuz Cybertronians aren't technically robots. They're mechanical aliens

[@davewaren270]

My beginner masterpiece was the walmart skywarp. Got him in 2003(?) For 25 bucks on clearance.

[@KrisPSouls9258]

I like the official Masterpiece figures. My daughter is wanting to collect them with me she loves the G1 looking figures.

[@SpartanDara]

I feel this way about MP-33 Inferno. Not sure if he's as cheap to acquire, but the way everything so satisfyingly thoops together is amazing. The way the whole ladder collapses into the torso is so satisfying, and its such a solid mold with great poseability and proportions.

[@EungsuLee]

Agreed. That torso transformation felt like pure sorcery at my first time handling it.

[@PaulGaither]

I began collecting Transformers 8+ yeads ago because of MP Bumblebee + Ratchet & Ironhide. That led me to some combination of Ultra Magnus, MP10, Wheeljack, Silverstreak, and Prowl. Some were gifts from the woman whom I am now married to.

[@StrykerPrime]

It sucks that MP went to shit not long after him and it barely regained its footing before getting cancelled 💀💀 Thanks a lot Takara

[@nujevad28]

It didn't get cancelled, it got rebranded.

[@StrykerPrime]

@@nujevad28 No. MPG and MP are different things The official Masterpiece line is ending with MP 60 and full priority is going to MPG, Takara figures like the Trainbots

[@RACH90810]

MP absorbed into MPG. MPM was hasbro comission. ​@@StrykerPrime

[@hellafraid6555]

@@StrykerPrimeit’s just a rebrand nothing more

[@StrykerPrime]

@@RACH90810 I knew MPM was Hasbro but thanks for sharing that

[@ultramagnus4374]

I made my own “generations” if you will of masterpiece figures: Generation 1: MP-01-MP-08- simplistic (by later standards), heavy focus on the alt mode, lots of diecast. Not in scale with each other, inconsistent release dates, heavy reliance on repaints. Generation 2: MP-09-MP-31: figures now to scale, still fairly simple to transform, more effort put into robot mode/alt mode cohesion, inclusion of Japanese G1 characters, heavy on the car autobots due to obtaining licensing with car manufacturers. Less diecast than first gen figures Generation 3: MP32-Present (MP-60)- more emphasis on toon accuracy, even in alt mode, more complex transformations. Inclusion of Beast Wars, much improved articulation, far more accessories (face swaps, episode specific accessories), usually feature large “backpacks” of kibble in the early ones.

[@Daedalus-BC308]

FYI, the twin pistols can store under the van in the slots where the rear wheels fold during transformation.

[@PrincessMatrix]

I remember getting the KO because it included the upgrade kit. It was such a great figure, and of surprisingly high quality despite being the KO. One of the few MP figures I still own.

[@returnedtomonkey8886]

When I started collecting my initial plan was to go down the mp/3rd party route.... Then I got kingdom Cyclonus and never looked back since. Still have a ko of mp13 soundwave with cassettes though. He's cool.

[@b_holsbach1543]

There's a lil grey piece hidden below the bumper(his beer belly) that u can flip out btw Took me long to realize it too

[@Sunstreaker2k5]

I think the best beginner masterpiece figure would either be one of the Datsuns like Prowl, or maybe Wheeljack. Edit: and no, your shoulders appear to be misassembled. Basically you want the part that's inside the body the arm attaches with to be upside down from what it is. Should be totally flat across the top of the shoulder when the arm is straight up and down

[@wilfordwyatt1228]

my first masterpiece was prowl based on your video on him, I've just ordered reboost and the fanstoys soundwave as well

[@banobobot]

1:59 Dr Lockdown reference

[@Bluestar1079]

A masterpiece that doesn't take 30 minutes to transform. What is this world coming to.

[@KoolKollectibles]

At least they finally announced the black Diaclone repaint of this so many frickin years later!

[@geraldtherat618]

Yup, I am looking forward to that & also the Diaclone hoist next year.

[@keenmans]

One thing you can also do with this figure is to tuck in the bumper in robot mode, making it look like he has a bit less of a beer belly.

[@ailestriker9888]

My first masterpiece experience was finding an MP-05 Sunstorm and a KO Starscream of the same mold but twice the size at flea market from the same stall. I sold them both

[@daydragoon331]

Speaking of good deals I scored an MPM Blackout for $99, was never going to dip my toes into MP but how could I pass that up

[@Zyugo]

I had this one for years and still a great Transformers Masterpiece figure.

[@xxmrbrooksxx]

I have Ironhide I really like a lot. I also have Ratchet. Got them both used on eBay but are excellent condition and came with everything they were supposed to.

[@RodimusMinor1987]

I really like the Old MP's, like Ironhide and Prowl, Skids is good, MP44 was great, but the Train Bots were awful, and I never bothered buying them

[@yicterspricter]

I highly recommend the Shadow Fisher upgrade kits. They turn this guy, and Ratchet, from great figures into FANTASTIC figures.

[@gaylordfocker7990]

Where? They're literally impossible to find. Not even AliExpress.

[@DragoonMS]

"Kinda wish more Masterpieces did that" Nah, man. I think the world is good on those. That part's too risky for QC failure: I got a Hasbro Asia release MP40 Targetmaster Hot Rod, and that particular spring-loaded panel doesn't function correctly...as it usually won't pop back up after removing a weapon. The shoulder issue was with MP11NR Ramjet. And Ratchet's MP30, he had to sit behind MP28 Hot Rod and MP29 Shockwave before he came out.

[@edo.9696]

no fucking way. i was looking for a review on this guy today and this comes out haha insane timing

[@AstonishProjectt]

Man I was flip flopping on this one because the proportions looked off to me. I think you’ve just sold me on this.

[@Gundamfan1998]

Damn, I've been doing this Masterpiece collecting thing wrong, my first MP was MP-13 so I guess I started on the wrong foot

[@fennekin1750]

MP Ironhide is cool, definitely. Also, TTG, that isn't a fire extinguisher, thats Ironhide's liquid nitrogen shooter thing from the show, iirc.

[@Erathiatw]

I got into Transformers through the Marvel comics, so Ratchet will always be the superior version of this mold. I view Ironhide as the copycat, and I'll die on this hill like it's the Frenzy colour wars. Also he has a light bar so clearly a superior toy.

[@shinerunova2250]

A yes, my wednesday That Toy guy review. And oh boy is it a good one

[@goldarnit]

I wish they'd done a black Diaclone version, I would have picked that up.

Guys the mp-ironhide videos out

[@IrvingDict.]

I've only ever gotten one masterpiece figure. It was the Toys R Us release of bluestreak. My older brother sat on it and the door broke off

[@alexandersilva3327]

i have a ko of this and ratchet and i love them

[@illiteratedino]

I recommend MP33 Inferno as a starter MP figure. He looks toon accurate and easy to transform. Also not too expensive. The articulation is also better than Ironhide.

[@tatt4music]

MP Ironhide has the best transformation ever too. Just a great figure.

[@HAV0KOFFICAL]

You planning on getting legacy magmatron?

[@michaeldaignault6917]

Got the ko of this and also the upscale version

[@the_bass_aprintice]

@that toy guy. I once bought a masterpiece blue streak at the grocery store

[@5192ig88]

Lol an advert saying are you ok was after this: 7:27

[@R10TDKM]

You can store the pistols underneath as exhausts

[@R10TDKM]

Not exhausts, they’re suspensions. My brain defaulted to the 86 mold lol

[@onemansvideos2134]

Watched for years this might be my first purchase he looks super g1

[@autobotironhidetheuniversa5215]

[@logandauphinee3476]

i love how he looks! imo he feels a little skinny tho

[@azizabdul8914]

from the worst G1 figure to the best feeling Masterpiece figure. Ironhide had come a long way since back then.

[@Mythic2099]

My first masterpiece was the original bumblebee got him from toy's r us for idk how much actually but I really wish I got bluestreak because Bee is alright but leagues worse than bluestreak lol

[@Iamthebestprime]

This or mp dinobot are some pretty good figures

[@Optimus7591]

1:27 it looks like a what now? Dankpods refrence???

[@danieljeyn9847]

I actually think the SS86 accomplishes a better aesthetic above the waist. If SS86 had used the leg engineering, it'd be near perfect. (Still has those big, stupid hinges that masterpiece doesn't need.)

[@blastbot7339]

I find it so dam ironic that generations figs like legacy tarn, SS86 grimlock and more go far much more than alot of masterpieces

[@AnimationswithAK]

He looks very clean!

[@ryantheanimator1156]

With Studio Series making the 86 figures that are way more affordable and even more screen accurate, the Masterpiece line honestly is redundant at this point.

[@kylegregory46]

Im not sure if mine is a KO or the real deal I got him gor £40 on ebay

[@fen4554]

The size of his techno-diaper upsets me.

[@Thudderwack1]

[@MPScrimshaw]

Now turn it into crosshairs!

[@theQuickining]

The only masterpiece I have is Prowel I got him at a Toys r us many years ago for around $50 canadian I thought he was really cool for the price and I wanted to get MP10 Optimus but I only ever saw I think it was year of the horse edition it had some IMO really ugly gold plastic so I passed on him then never saw another masterpiece line transformer in a store and then I just stopped caring about the line until I saw beast wars Megatron and Optimus primal those two I want but only if I can get both of them

[@TheSilverwolf97]

That thumb is gonna break with the accesories coming in and out. I had the same issue with bmb Optimus Prime, dumb design choice imo.

[@speed-qk5lg]

The first masterpiece i got was trailbreaker

[@xxmrbrooksxx]

I really like Masterpiece but can be expensive.

[@grimlocktheking2010]

[@BadAssXerx3]

the only Masterpiece I have is Barricade

[@monte_2000]

Honestly I don’t get he hype behind this MP. I actually think it was a big miss because he just looks really dumpy. When I think of MP, I think of sos,thing that looks cool. And this just ain’t cool at all to me.

[@zousui7238]

As someone who is an ironhide fan and bought this day one, I think it has to do when it was released. Back then we literally never had a proper G1 Ironhide toy. It was either the headless OG or the rough classics.

[@Hustler281980]

Its only Masterpiece if its got diecast in it. So its not by Takara, lol. Hail Fanstoys and X-Transbots. Honor to Diecast Ko MP Trailblazer.
