Tiny Transformers

[@papermelon]

For anyone who might ask…no, sadly the switch "game" playing at the beginning is not a real game. I animated that scene from scratch and digitally composited the finished video over the footage of the Switch. What a nightmare to make 😂 thanks for watching fam!

I'm more inclined to prefer getting small, but technical transformers. Something I can tinker with at my work desk without taking any space. These look right up my alley.

[@RXOBANSH33]

Would also check out Magic Square stuff! There's a few other companies that do it too, but they specialise in Legends scale Masterpiece style figures. So they're tiny, but can be very intricate. The engineering is leagues ahead of what Takara and Hasbro do, making incredibly cartoon accurate robots and vehicles without giving up heaps of poseability.

[@oTEMPE5To]

Slider joints are in fact generally looked down upon by the community. They’re notorious for degrading very quickly, and Hasbro has all but eliminated them from any official transformation scheme

[@DPXEntertainment]

[@crazygalvatron7225]

The WST line of Transformers goes back further than Dr Wu, Takara actually started the line in Japan near 20 years ago. Since that time lots of companies have produced alternate versions of the officially released figures and new original molds of characters not released by Takara. Dr Wu is just the most notable and recent company to make em.

[@tfrye1227]

great look at these! i’ve been curious about them for awhile. personally, i love the new Blokees mini model kit figures. they don’t transform and are stylized, but i like their style and they’re fun to build and mix&match. plus they’re around $7-$10 so it makes them super easy to collect

[@thanksomuch1557]

The cinematography is fantastic! As is everything else...

[@AliceDevil7490]

Ultra magnus has a very special place in my heart. As a kid i had the 20th anniversary of the 86 movie and that was my only piece of the g1 cartoon for a long time. I saw magnus' truck mode and thought maybe underneath that trailer was an Optimus prime looking body underneath that trailer but I didnt know for sure, animated didnt have the inner bot Magnus concept and he wasnt in the bay movies. Then one day i went over to a friend's house and he happened to have some g1 toys, and learning that my theory was true that day after seeing a g1 Ultra Magnus for the first time, I'll never forget that joy. I think the inner robot is too cool to not include for a g1 based ultra magnus figure. Seeing it that concept be done well at such a small scale is absolutely adorable. As nice as the commander class is, i still feel like it should've done more

[@Smashy_Bird]

the fact that Optimus Prime was able to just fold Megatron into a gun is just hilarious. 3:37

[@thelegoreaper]

I just want to say that I really appreciate the quality of these videos, the editing and lighting are very well done. They are also very funny. I was also going to get some Dr Wu Transformers, as I love tiny transformers, and I’m happy to see them finally get some recognition. Not many people talk about them. It really annoys me that small 3rd party Beachcombers always have 3 step transformations and end up sucking. If the transformation is so simple, they could have dedicated more time on the articulation and look of both modes instead.

[@Btg10]

Living in New York, I have limited space in my apartment, which lead me collecting mostly legend scaled figures. I almost exclusively collect Newage transformers except some combiners by Magic square. I think legend scale is by far one of the best scale to collect right now, the details they bring at such small size

[@GreggoryMiller]

You should make a stop motion where the "wide shots" are using the mini Transformers, and any time it cuts to a "close up" or "extreme close up" it switches to a masterpiece version or something that is highly detailed. I think that would be sick.

[@taitenguerrero2030]

A tip for tightening joints I've found is using paint on the ball joint. It's just a small thin layer. Eventually, it'll wear down depending on the paint you use, so you'll have to re apply it

[@DamnAwesome]

Awesome video! The tiny Transformers are cool af and the editing is super good!

[@davedixon2167]

This stuff is great! I was definitely a G1 kid and I still have a few little things around even though I did give up my Masterpiece Prime last time I underwent a big toy slimdown. I have 4 little nontransforming figs from Dollar Tree on my desk now - Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and Soundwave. Never thought I'd see a full lineup of transformers this small! I do have an older micro transforming Megatron that mimics the full scale G1, but would not hold a candle to these new ones. I dig all of these - just amazing!

[@moonlightdiamonds9758]

I love how small these are! I definitely would love to get a few for my own home, but I think what made me stick around was the presentation! I love how honest, fun, and interesting you made it! It made me want to buy my own just to be able to do silly things like this ! You my friend have gained another follower :)

[@nofacedgoldfish6216]

Believe me, you are not alone on disliking slider joints. I have a Cyclonus figure from a Reveal The Shield two-pack with Hot Rod, and the calves split open from the front and back, and used hinges to go over the thighs. Whenever I see another figure use a slider joint to achieve this same result of transformation, it makes me wonder why they didn't just use the same technique as that figure instead.

[@keonivontungeln9621]

I actually really like these. Small transformers are my favorite. They’re easy to collect and, more importantly, easy to fidget with. Desk toys are the second most common role the transformers in my collection fill. Other than looking cool. This is so cool. Thank you. Also transformers with face masks are my all time favorite and will always be. Most of the figures I collect have facemasks for a reason. Amazing video, dude. Like usual, you always show me so many cool things about this franchise I love so much.

Meanwhile I've only really stuck with Magic Square, which makes really good figures! The things they can pull off at the size while having their figures feel borderline indestructible is insane. But okay. You got me. I should give Dr Wu a shot at some point.

[@TelestoTheBesto]

Iron Factory is also a good option for small Transformers toys. They typically do IDW designs and have done a ton of characters.

[@oasisnova]

you and i share a bond- though im unique in that im pry the last gen to be into the og transformers, back a few years ago i went hunting at dollar generals for the kreo mini fig boxes that were rare, and it was like falling into alice and wonderland the feeling i got hunting the city for plastic... no one saw what i saw which was how what should of allways been a lego toy, was on the brink of extingtion of time. i urge you to look into why transformers were never made into lego(not the new op modle) and also another 1980s show thundercats and how the legends of chima helped end the 2011 remake, like the 80s corporate greed is still here and something about the spirit of transformers screams that justice is to be had as historic greed has sadly repeated itself, toys like these bring hope as its like looking at something you allways wanted but are just now seeing it

[@RRankin29]

A long time ago, Takara made a worlds smallest transformers line, they were scaled down versions of the G1 figures with the same transformations. It was almost like taking Optimus prime, and shrinking him with a ray gun… Do you have any of those in your collection? if not, I highly recommend them, but they are pretty delicate.

I love the tiny figures as well.

[@bearnaff9387]

Dr. Wu is cute and all, but you do know that there are MUCH smaller official figures, right? Smallest Transforming Transformers was a Takara line from 2003 or so that id what it said on the tin. They were ridiculously small recreations of G1 molds in miniature. I only own one, but he Soundwave figure _does_ have an opening tape door, and inside of it lives the actual smallest production transfoming toy, Smallest Transforming Transormer Jaguar/Ravage! This teeny figure is smaller than the pills you will start having to take by middle age at the latest. But, this isn't the only figure small enough to fit in a prison pocket. Junkion Blacksmith was an early third-party designer, and one day he felt that not enough brains were detonating, so he decided to blow everyone's minds by making a series of Headmaster heads based on G1 figures. This was at least a decade before Titans even started wondering if they left the tap on. Additionally, these figures retained some form of their original transformation. Alas, Tactical Officer (Not Soundwave) doesn't have an opening chestplate, but he does transform into a head for an entirely different robot.

[@Grievous_2009]

I think tiny action figures are way better than any other scale because they can fit in my pocket and I can take them anywhere and fidget with them

[@the_ant_guy]

I love little transformers! So much quicker to transform, and I can put them all on a single shelf to battle

[@banobobot]

[@HappyBirthdayRoboto]

Wow, I'd seen some of these and had thought about getting them, but passed, still I had no idea they were this good. I think these would work best as accessories for the larger titan class robots like the Ark or Metroplex.
