TRANSFORMATION: Magic Square MS-B54 Tornado / Combaticon Vortex - Robot to Alt mode

[@markschroeder5559]

Great instruction. I like to mostly figure it out being that it's basically a puzzle. Magic Square are great because the materials are forgiving for tinkering with. I usually need a little help from one one you video blokes. Thanks a million.😎👍

[@streakshooter918]

Thanks… I’m like you where I like to figure it out, like a puzzle… and the plastic quality, I agree… very forgiving… and a good choice for their design, IMO…

I'm glad you know what you're doing with these because I sure don't know what I'm doing lol I had to keep transforming light of victory like a thousand times before I figured him out. Lol and Doomsday omg I transformed him once and had paint chipping and then a piece got stuck and had to pry it out. I actually emailed magic square for a replacement part lol

[@streakshooter918]

Thanks… and I hear you about how difficult it is to transform some of their figures… Some of them are complex… but with those… I look at them as a puzzle that needs to be solved… which take a lot of patience… and time… that most of us don’t have… but hopefully it’s worth it in the end…

Thanks again. This one was a little harder. How cool are this figures man? How does one even engineer something like this? Just awesome!! LOVE this set. Can't wait for Blast Off to complete the team!

[@streakshooter918]

Thanks… This set… (MS Combaticons)… are really cool… I love how well they captured the cartoon aesthetics… but the transformation has so many steps… I also asked how they engineered them… All I know from my education a product design, they must have come up with tons of concept designs… until they came up with one that fits their design style… Personally, I think there may be a little too many steps and parts… but for me the look, proportions, function is more important… and overall I think MS is doing a good job… I’m waiting for my Blast Off to arrive… hopefully soon…

[@yoelrey]

@@streakshooter918 i think you are also looking at it more from the view of an transformation expert. You make transforming them ''easy" for your viewers. Overall really cool figures with G1 vibes!

[@streakshooter918]

Thanks… I never thought of it that way… but the way I see the transformation is from a product design perspective… that is what I was taught A LONG TIME AGO…

Thanks for the transformation videos. Big help working through this set. Noticed you missed the storage for the gun handle on Vortex. It tabs inside the middle of the helicopter mode before you connect the top parts (thruster and rotor) was a pain to line up sides to tab in after getting it in though lol.

[@streakshooter918]

Yes… you are correct… I forgot to mention the the storage for the gun… but I’m glad you are aware of it… and thanks for sharing it with me… It is a hassle trying tab it in…

[@yoelrey]

@@streakshooter918 i was just about to ask. But i guess i just leave it out this time around. :)

I absolutely _love_ contemporary Magic Square. The polyamide they've settled on is great - and their use of dovetail joints for both vanity panels and compound structural connections is unlike any other manufacturer in this space. Really helpful videos btw, appreciate your work!

[@streakshooter918]

Thanks… And I feel the same about how MS handles joint, panels, plastic, etc… smart choice, IMO…

[@multiplemenace]

This is a very cool transformation and I think this is your best transformation video. It was all very clear thank you. I can't follow written directions so these videos are life savers.

[@streakshooter918]

Thanks… I’m trying…

[@JW-dc8hk]

Good video thank you very helpful 👍💯

[@shadowbird]

👍 thank you so much. You made it look . Like yeah I’ll be able to do that when I get it. ..I know it Hast to be super difficult behind the camera what a great job!

[@streakshooter918]

Thanks… I appreciate it… and you are so right… it’s hard to do behind the camera… but I try…

[@robbyrodriguez9677]

Hermoso....me gustó su transformación y lo identico al dibujo animado.

[@papastar5702]

Thank you for the transformation video. It really helped. I love Bruticus but the companies (Magic Square, MMC Ocular Perfection Series, etc) always like to over complicate Vortex’s transformation. Thank you again

[@streakshooter918]

Thanks for the acknowledgment…. And I also noticed how Vortex always seems to be complicated…

[@ascensionindustries9631]

I'm watching because I know I'm gonna buy this. But after not buying Transformers for thirty plus years, and getting MS Devastator, the complexity is almost too much for the kid in me, but stimulating for the adult part. (Even though a pain in th...b..tt, to transform.) 👍

[@streakshooter918]

LOL… I hear you… I suggest dedicating a certain length of time to go slow, be patient, and enjoy the challenging process (like a puzzle)… and you should be able to enjoy the time spent on them… cause they are nice figures individually and combined… just getting there is a pain the @$$… like you said…

[@dukenukem9770]

Wow! This was very thorough. Thank you for posting. I have heard a lot of strong opinions about MS transformations. I do see what they mean, but they look doable after seeing your rigorous tutorial…

[@dude666fx]

Thanks, these videos have been really useful I know it's not easy to try and show tabs etc on camera while doing the transformation. Have you or are you going to do one for combined mode as well?

[@streakshooter918]

Thanks… Yes… I am finally posting Combing transformation videos… It’s been a challenge… because the video(s)… are long… (over an hour)… I’ve been trying to find a way to shorten them… and I am just now posting them - late…
