Transformers 3rd Party X-Transbots Klaatu (Cosmos)

[@ChristopherGreen-wf8qc]

Just got the reissue with the new paint. Jesus it's beautiful. And like you. I held on to the toyworld forever. If you still are...let it go. The new reissue with the metallic paint is my forever cosmos. I'm comfortable that even fans toys can only match it, but not beat it.

[@eyescovered]

A solid recommendation of an X-Transbots figure from Bobby B? *faints*

[@MythsAndHeroes]

hahahahaha

[@DamageInc86]

I'm new to the 3p game, only having bought my first last year (2023). From the few figs I've bought so far, this one on the way, i don't think x-transbots is really that bad. Seems like im enjoying FT transformations a bit better, and dx9. But, the couple x-transbots figs i have aren't really thay bad. What a time to have re-discovered my love for transformers! Between a few great companies we get amazing figs to cover most of the bases.

[@MisaelCastilloBrenes]

"The flight of the Navigator" was cool! Good reference, specially these times when "retro" is the trend. :) Thanks for the review sir.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

;)

[@DennisMoultonAKAGotBot]

Wait...first, Huffer was respectable and now x-transbots makes a decent figure? Wow, this must be one of the seven signs of the apocalypse.

[@TimothyLau55]

Or, may be the sign of the coming golden age of 3rd party figures~~

[@DennisMoultonAKAGotBot]

I like your optimistic slant, i hope you're correct because...my option...yikes,lol.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

hahahahahaha

[@harryfromwork]

my first too 3P guys

[@voodooneightyeight7929]

FINALLY picked up the metallic version and he looks great!! One issue I have is the outside flap on the left foot doesn't stay in place. (A shot of clear coat should give it the friction it needs) Not my favorite character but handling this guy reminds me of a Fanstoys figure. No wonder FT has yet to put one out :P

[@martinefrensoquigomez7835]

Might be the only one to think the green is a wee bit too dark. Anyone else agree? Nice figure nonetheless, very much animation accurate.

[@convoy4702]

Agree on that but the Version i wanted was the blue one anyways so thats a problem solved

[@roguewar7153]

Excellent Close encounters of the "third" kind review ! It was a serious honor and a blast meeting you at TFCON Bobby! Shout out to the Cool Table Network!

[@MythsAndHeroes]

honor was all mine

[@lowellmartens6135]

I love this figure. Not only does it look fantastic but I really enjoy the transformation. He also has pretty fantastic articulation, especially for such a clunky bot. I'm also always a huge fan of flight stands, and I got lucky that mine fits together really well.

[@rasmo0753]

LOL!Flight of the Navigator reference FTW!Personally would have gone with The Explorers, then you coulda called this toy/bot a "Rolls Canardly"

[@MythsAndHeroes]

oooo that would have been good

[@alexandrebelinge8996]

oh man that looks sooo good . I want a toy color green because I had so many Cosmo when I was a kid (kept loosing them). That yellow is perfect. The feet are well done. Good review, I got my finger on the purchase button .

[@MythsAndHeroes]

many thanks

[@erikw5]

This is the nicest I’ve ever seen you be to XTransbots and it’s deserved too. I have this guy and I think he’s great. Also thanks for sharing the video about the head release button. That’s helpful.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

my pleasure

[@poloskier1967]

The autobot "kidnapper" himself.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

lol

[@nightwingnum1226]

You sold me on it, this will be my cosmos.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

enjoy!

[@bobby101a]

I feel the same way I am going to keep my Toyworld.... But it looks very good. Great review.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

definitely, great meeting you BTW!!!!

[@PaulSpurgeon]

Holy crap. Just yesterday I was looking to see if you had reviewed X-Transbots' Klaatu, because I'm trying to decide between him and Toyworld's Spaceracer. It's like the planets aligned or something.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

im here for you ;)

[@DADooWALKER]

Just got this today!!!! Thanks for the video.

[@soulcraft_84]

Nice figure! Definitely worthy of the term Masterpiece IMHO. Picked him up this past weekend at TFCon...

[@MythsAndHeroes]

nice!

[@Eseres80]

Klaatu! Verata! Necto!

[@MythsAndHeroes]

lol

[@marcokernbach9408]

I got super unlucky with my copy of the blue version- so many issues! Paint apps missing, the white paint on the front panel rubbed off straight out of the box (I had to scrape the rest off with my finger because it looked so bad, which also took zero effort). The tractor beam won’t fit on mine either, and the front of it won’t stay together in ufo mode, abd a snapped off peg near the thrusters… Really poor. I own Andras and Janssen and they are both great, but I think I’ll stick with Fanstoys in the future… you get what you pay for

[@jotunnimusprime2398]

I've been doing research on your channel looking for a good 3P menasor and when I watched your vid discussing the options, you mentioned X-Transbots. I gotta say, even though the amount of figures they have is limited, you are ecstatic on this company. In other words, I'm on X-T side of 3P

[@MythsAndHeroes]

XTB is a constant one step forward 2 steps back kind of company to me

[@THEShoky]

Man Keanu will on any role...

[@MythsAndHeroes]

lol

[@RCCrawlerz209]

Is really a step up from their Beachcomber figure, a vast improvement, I might add. Great looking figure, all around.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

agreed!

[@ahchiu9]

Wow, like T2RX6 said on SCU, it does indeed looks like Klaatu is to XTB as Simba was to KFC

[@MythsAndHeroes]

yep

[@Russ_uk]

If you unfold the bottom panels and back side panels swing the panel with the peg hole out on it's own he pegs into the cone stand fine then just close everything back up carefully job done.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

seems a bit much to use a flight stand, no?

[@Russ_uk]

Way too much sir but it works I'm just glad it's the only real bad point

[@mark4flair991]

I see a dozen roses and a bottle of dom in your future, care of Keith. You know if Mr. Skullface is recommending it, it's a good product. Boy, I hope their Stunticons follow suit and are of the same overall quality....

[@MythsAndHeroes]

lol i'll give him my address

[@andrewulbricht9046]

Not for nothing, but the weight loss is definitely showing. Congrats

[@fernandoflores3161]

Mr Bobby was overweight? I didn't notice it...Good for him!

[@andrewulbricht9046]

Fernando Flores Nothing major. He's mentioned it on shattered cast

[@MythsAndHeroes]

thanks man

[@nathanclark2503]

I have all the same problems with my stand. But great toy and great review.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

many thanks

[@Magikknight76]

Thanks for another great review Skull Brother!!! I have the Toy World version the clear plastic one and I really love it. I happen to be a sucker for translucent plastic. However I do admit this overall is probably the slightly better figure but not enough to replace my TW. BTW super props for the Flight Of The Navigator reference. How cool would it be to have a transformer based on that design? Keep up the great work brother...

[@MythsAndHeroes]

hahahah that would be awesome

[@kaizen209]

There is hope yet for their Springer!

[@MythsAndHeroes]

indeed

[@lorenzretiro]

i like the base itself.. if you paint it right, it looks like a field with crop circles on it!

[@MythsAndHeroes]

ooooo youre right!!!!

[@TrypticOwen]

Another great review. I'm really starting to warm up to the idea of accepting more 3P on my MP shelf. Never bought XTB. Not buying this, either. But, crucially, that's only because I don't feel like I need a Cosmos. XTB, on the other hand, in my opinion, have recently won the Cosmos wars, Won the Hoist wars and, had Dante actually been released, probably would have won the Inferno wars, too. That's reputation building stuff versus some really big hitters! They have taken themselves from a 3P that I wouldn't consider buying from to a company whose future releases I will be looking at very carefully and positively as I look to jump on board. Thanks for the review! :-)

[@rschmidt6602]

TrypticOwen Dante will still be released

[@TrypticOwen]

Thanks. I actually knew that - isn't the plan to let the inferno competition die down before releasing it? - In my case, though, I just got a good deal on MMC's backdraft so XTB are too late to the party for me! :-)

[@rschmidt6602]

TrypticOwen yeah, they are waiting for the offical inferno hype die down. Still holding out.

[@TrypticOwen]

It looks great but I've always liked the sleek robot mode of MMC's - reminds me of Actionmaster Inferno only in a good way. XTB seem to have won on vehicle mode, though. And it'd've been nice to get a full length ladder! I'm thinking XTB's Springer might be the winner and therefore my first of their products...

[@MythsAndHeroes]

im anxious to see what they have next

[@KoDiEsMiTh09]

He is good, but he isn't out of this world...

[@Transfixed]

Oh, Dad

[@MythsAndHeroes]

hahahahahahahah

[@ivanruiz8659]

I waited because I didn't like the way toyworld version looked. I decided to buy xtransbots which this is my first figure from them and I have slot of third party figures. And.... I love this comos and I'm glade to bought it.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

nice

[@rtoebak76]

Nice. Always wanted a bigger one. Expensive :-)

[@LotusStark]

I'm still on the fence. He looks better than Toy World, but maybe MMC will blow us all away. I like the MMC gimmick of BumbleBee and Blaster controlling Cosmos from the upper deck. I still don't understand why Takara hasn't jumped in yet. Normally when we see more than two 3P companies produce the same character it means Takara's release is around the corner. Thanks for the review Bobby.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

im anxious to look at that one as well

[@LotusStark]

Bobby Skullface L Very cool, looking forward to the review. 👍

[@gageloftus9748]

I think this one is pretty cool, actually. Way better than the toyworld version

[@MythsAndHeroes]

this is well done but im not sure id say "way" better, but definitely better

[@astartespete]

XTB in better built shocker! Im in the same boat, I think the XTB is the better bot but not enough to trade up. The TW one has a real charm that I don't quite get from this one. No bad choices here tho which is nice.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

definitely

[@gallien]

Some Repro's and this guy would really pop.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

agreed

[@VRHyoumaru]

Wow, a surprisingly solid piece from X-transbots... too bad their upcoming Cliffjumper looks like it's gonna take this praise and smash it with a 2x4.

[@rschmidt6602]

VRHyoumaru why?

[@VRHyoumaru]

Rich Schmidt have you seen the backpack on that thing?

[@rschmidt6602]

VRHyoumaru doesnt look any worse than mp bees

[@VRHyoumaru]

from the front yeah, from the back it's a bit of a mess

[@MythsAndHeroes]

lets hope not

[@DolkkarToyznstuff]

I clapped with you. And I don't just give anyone the clap! lol Awesome review and I just may pick this one up soon!

[@MythsAndHeroes]

lol

[@marvinonstage]

I wish he had showed the difference between the two in Aly mode. I think the other one looks more like a fire hydrant.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

only so many hours in a day my friend

[@ZetZatar]

They’ve come a LONG way since “Ollie”!

[@MythsAndHeroes]

agreed

[@jeremypickard2372]

i had the go bot version of cosmos. kinda likes the go bot more.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

i remember him

[@Sportimus]

I found your review of this guy to be out of this world. This is one stellar Cosmos. He's a pudgy dude, so I don't mind the junk in his trunk. No anal probing here! Just a solid release from XTB. Seriously, I'm happy you like this guy. He isn't perfect, but man, he's got a lot going for him that negates his flaws, I think. As always, well done.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

god, i love a good pun

[@Xsis_Vorok]

I'm getting this one and I may pickup the clear Spaceracer as well. Can't have too many UFOs. P.S. I'm surprised that you didn't make an X-Files reference. Maybe you're just too young for that show.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

lol, no just had to pick one and went with flight of the navigator

[@Superdimensional]

Peep the Danny Tanner jeans at 07:50

[@MythsAndHeroes]

LMAO

[@TheForgotenStef30000]

I can not overlook the huge gaps on his arms near the elbow, it bugs the hell out of me XD

[@MythsAndHeroes]

lol

[@jamesdavo6341]

I'd still say their Cyclonus and Scourge are better XTB figures on your shelf (transforming trickiness aside)

[@MythsAndHeroes]

i dont care for that cyclonus but i like the scourge

[@8474Starscream]

Great review. X-Transbots looks the best so far with options .......how long before Ocular Max kicks out there version...gonna wait to see which is best.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

this month i think

[@8474Starscream]

The producers producer will reveal the best option for Cosmos. " So it is written so it shall be " I am leaning towards the Ocular Max for the window bots! That's sick!

[@Cyberrat629]

I couldn't stand the G1 minibot toys of Cosmos and Seaspray. This is a great representation of toon Cosmos and will probably pick it up.

[@MythsAndHeroes]

enjoy!

[@kazuraba3991]

Great review as always, I love your work is extremely informative and for this reason I would like to know your opinion about transformers figures that do not transform more specifically "ThreeA" "G1" optimus figure I want to know what you have to say because I still do not know what to think , from the looks he is cool to me but the fact that he dosen't transform is messing with me, please guide my small brain lol

[@MythsAndHeroes]

i would love to look at something like that

[@LeobreakersReviews]

FEEEETTTTT!

[@MythsAndHeroes]

!!!!!!

[@chiokec]

I prefer the x transbots yellow over the toyworld gold

[@MythsAndHeroes]

[@Shaun-cf8mz]

Ordered mine just waiting for their cliff jumper

[@MythsAndHeroes]

me too

[@sofos870]

[@MythsAndHeroes]

[@JohnnyTheA]

Hey bobby. It’s October. You know what that means.

[@MythsAndHeroes]
