Top 10 Transformers Power of the Primes Figures (stop motion)

[@ciaramikics9284]

Love sinnertwin and cutthroat, but Hungurrrrrr, yeah great list!!

[@alexlemonds2838]

Sinnertwin has become my favorite Terrorcon. Beast mode reminds me of the two headed dog from Clash Of The Titans.

[@MaraFaris]

Awesome video! I love Hun-Gurr so much too. We definitely need a Rippersnapper feature though. Also "Find the Ravage" is my new favorite mini-game.

[@TTMMH42]

I'm going to need to rethink my set up to find more ways to hide them

[@MaraFaris]

@@TTMMH42 In my headcanon, Soundwave is just sending Ravage out to spy on your KZbin Career.

[@TTMMH42]

@@MaraFaris well then I will have to put more Steeljaws out to protect me

@@TTMMH42 Your inferior yellow cassette cannot save you from the mighty Ravage!

[@Bots_Obsession]

Another great top 10. You really gotta get the Dreadwing duo cause they're absolute standouts!

[@TTMMH42]

I know, I wish I had when I saw them in stores. DarkWing was a childhood favorite of mine, but when i saw them in store I was feeling the burnout again.

[@davidanderson4748]

I like them as well. I missed out on most of the good stuff in POTP (Terrorcons) while getting lots of the dumb stuff (Volcanicus -although taken on their own each Dinobot is pretty good). But yeah, the depressed duo is a fun pair!

[@davidm4566]

I got an upgrade kit for BattleTrap from nonnef. There's a new longer, removable copter blade that doubles as a sword for the combine robot. Also, a black pistol and double barrel blaster for the copter and super robot. There's also a combine piece for vehicle mode to make it look more like G1. That and the decals from toyhax make this a cool combiner. I also like how he is 2 scout/legends/core class Decepticons. Especially after Titans Return, I have several smaller Autobots so now I have some small Decepticons. I just pretend it's a small personal scout copter.

[@EddieNova]

A POTP figure I like that wasn't already said is Punch Counter Punch. I would like to get Darkwing, love his colors. POTP killed it with the Minibots like Windcharger, Seaspray, and Brawn especially. Hoping for a new Windcharger and Tailgate to scale better with the more recent Minibots.

[@TTMMH42]

I have been kicking around a video idea for punch counter punch for a while now. Just to lazy to really do it.

[@EddieNova]

@@TTMMH42 that'd be a cool video to see his faction switch gimmick animated, hint hint 😄

[@TTMMH42]

@@EddieNova on my old channel I did animate it for a brief skit I had made kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5rPgWeYnN6Xa8U But I have something more review like in mind for this channel if/when I have the time.

[@diegobrando6712]

One of my favorite channels on KZbin. I hope you never stop these lists massive nostalgia.

[@TTMMH42]

They are the only videos that consistently get views so yep, they will continue lol

[@DevonDecker]

0:37 OMG it's MICRONUS! 1:02 Metal Hawk holding Metal Hawk... my day is complete 1:35 Clone Army? You mean sort of like their Armada??? 2:07 Did we get this Swoop right before PAX Unplugged? Why do I have that memory in my head? 2:14 Finally we get to Power of The Primes Figures I actually own. Yay Battleslash! 2:45 Yay Roadtrap! 3:00 That is how they are in the studio... Weird to think that he has held his place all these years. 3:25 I like his sunglasses 4:30 I am glad I decided against getting this Rodimus, but it always makes me so happy to see him 6:14 Thanks for this reminder that I didn't really buy anything during Power of the Primes... Though the three that immediately come to mind, Battletrap and Micronus, are all still on display so that much mean something right?

[@TTMMH42]

I'm 63.5% sure you actually gave me that swoop now that you mention it. I didn't go hard on POTP I remember being very torn in the store over buying Rodimus or buying Optimal Optimus. Sadly I never saw Optimal again after that.

[@mr.end-game711]

POTP had a bunch of late G1 toys, Terrorcons, Decepticon Power Masters, Battle-Trap, Female Autobots, Optimal Optimus Primal and Rodimus Unicorns being deep cuts into G1 characters. a trait that would continued into Siege and beyond. Loved Collecting the Dinobots, POTP Gridlock fits with the size of the Savageries realized by Hasbro over the years.

[@windsweeper8002]

Sinnertwin was based on an orthrus from Greek mythology. He's always been my favourite Terrorcon. I wish Battleslash and Roadburn were deluxes though.

[@TTMMH42]

I always thought he was a take on Cerberus. That is really cool to know.

[@windsweeper8002]

@@TTMMH42 I read it in Cybertronian, the Unofficial Guide which was published in 2001. It's a great series. It covered the G1, G2 and Beast Wars toylines. Even recalculated G1 Scorponok's mistakenly low tech spec readings to tie in with his chest readout.

[@incoherentbabbler4636]

I think Abominus should fight Sky Lynx, RoTB Primal, and/or Nightshade, definitely a battle of beasts. I think the logic of turning your old Scourges or Insecticons into army builders should apply to Swoop and Optimus Prime as well.

[@noahbrockett2875]

800 likes easy! They should fight cosmos… And only cosmos

[@TTMMH42]

See I thought everyone would name another Combiner but that would be SO fun to do!

[@RogueTwo]

I actually preferred the Rodimus Unicronus repaint of PoTP Rodimus. Most Botcon/TFCC are too pricey for me, so getting what as essentially a retail version of Shattered Glass Rodimus was too good to pass up. True, Hasbro, in their infinite wisdom, made him a Decepticon, but that was nothing a couple of replacement stickers couldn't fix. He was the centerpiece of my attempt to build Shattered Glass collection of repurposed toys and whatever I could afford off eBay. Then Hasbro started doing their own Shattered Glass toys as Pulse exclusives. So while I have a better SG Rodimus now, I still have love for Rodimus Unicronus.

[@TTMMH42]

I was very tempted by that version but I was trying to save money at the time. No doubt it's an awesome color scheme though

[@RogueTwo]

@TTMMH42 It definitely depends on your love for the Shattered Glass concept, too. For me, the mirror universe thing was such a classic science fiction trope, I loved it, while I also embraced the rather goofy over-the-top way the club executed it. And, yeah, some of those alternate color schemes, like Rodimus's, were great. But you have Slicer, you know. I actually thought that was clever in the second year of Hasbro Pulse SG exclusives. Even if you weren't into the Shattered Glass concept, a few of the toys could be used as regular G1 characters. Don't care about SG Ultra Magnus? How about a retail version of Delta Magnus? SG Flamewar is identical to her G1 self, except for the color of her Decepticon badge.

[@Autobot-Revs]

Nice!

[@davidanderson4748]

How do you do the stop motion of these guys in the air? Like when you had Beachcomber jump into frame while in vehicle mode? Good stuff!

[@TTMMH42]

Trade secret Nah I'm just kidding. Literally I was holding him up out of frame, I'll use tricks with helping hands or a thin pair of black tweezers sometimes too. Once in awhile when I'm not incredibly lazy I will actually edit things out with a photo editor but it's incredibly tedious.

[@aximusprime]

Hun-gurrr is NOT a retool of Silverbolt, they literally share ZERO parts. They are no more retools of one another than Alternators Smokescreen and Meister, they simply share similar transformations.

[@TTMMH42]

Ok. They share elements of design. Particularly in the transformation to torso mode. I'm deeply sorry for offending you.

[@aximusprime]

@TTMMH42 good luck with your channel growth in spite of you being a dick, how's that for offended?

[@TTMMH42]

Thank you! I wish you well in all your future KZbin commentary endeavors

[@TTMMH42]

I mean you aren't wrong. I misspoke in the video, instead of retool I should have said his Torso Transformation is heavily influenced by silverbolt. Your use of capitalization in your comment makes it read as a little condescending and I responded with some sarcasm. If that makes me the "dick" then so be it.

[@davidshramek6357]

do u like the 86 commander rodimus i never got him or power of the prime rodimus im just wondering which one is better bc the 86 was supposed to be an update
