Transformers Studio Series VS Original Figures Part 1

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Are these a vast improvement? Let me know your 5 picks for the next EPISODE! :)

[@atlmyk]

For the future reviews I think you should also compare the Alt modes between the studio series and prior versions as well

[@dinobotslug5422]

I'm hoping for a comparison between optimus primes, possibly slug, other dinobots, other deceptions.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Ok that’s definitely something I can do! Thanks for the feedback :)

[@kaicrack7439]

Well I think that ratchet with versions previous to that mold, so is Bumblebee and jazz and I think that most constructucons But some are homesick

[@the_alby_nation3432]

Jazz, bee, ratchet and the wreckers for the next video

[@seanclapper9965]

I skipped out on the original AOE fruity pebbles dinobots because of those bright colors. I was relieved when last knight gave us the dinobots in much more movie accurate colors. Then I grabbed them all for my collection

[@nightshade777]

i grabbed all of em when i was young cause i was into dinosaurs and transformers and it was the start of me making my own collection and until now their still alive here in my shelves

[@CryosisOfficial]

The TLK figures are not movie accurate (well Slug sort of is). Grimlock was not brown or silver/grey in AoE, he was a patina green like this Studio Series figure. Scorn was a cherry red (and has the most in your face colours of all of the Dinobots). Strafe was blue. And Slug was actually a silver/gold colour, which means he is the only one whose TLK figure is accurate.

[@LimpNoodle420]

I think the reason blackout never got a leader class figure back in the day was because had to only made leader class figures of characters they knew people would buy

[@q.h.s5051]

But everyone loved Blackout. Also why did Brawl get one then?

I bought the original iron hide back when it came out. But when I took it out of box I immediately fell into pieces. Dotm in real life.

Same here the figure won't stay still. I hate the fact that the head is on a loose ball joint. And the wheels on his chest always tend to fall. Anyways nice joke.

[@JJPrimeReviews2020]

Yeah, as a whole, the Studio Series figures have mostly obliterated the original figures in terms of engineering and the accuracy. This is an awesome video, PVP! Keep up the great work!

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Thanks so much! Hope you enjoyed the video! :)

[@bumblebeenation]

These figures brings me nostalgia

[@jordanharrington3048]

For me, I’d actually appreciate a vehicle mode comparison because sometimes that makes my decision for what I’m getting a lot of the times 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Sure! I’ll make sure to include that in the future! Thanks for the feedback :)

[@NoGoodDirtyRicer]

The Studio Series Blackout is absolutely gorgeous. It’s a crime that it took them so long to make a good figure, I mean seriously, he was the first Bayverse Transformer that we actually see in the movie.

[@Joe-fi7il]

I loathe the bay movies and I think a lot of the designs are garbage but opening the series with blackout was a genius move. So glad blackout and starscream have excellent figures now.

[@NoGoodDirtyRicer]

@@Joe-fi7il I like the first Bayverse Transformers probably more out of a sense of nostalgia not to mention it having amazing cars. As far as the bots themselves, there’s only a couple that I like in the Bayverse style and Blackout is definitely one of them.

[@luckyducky5677]

Fun Fact about Transformers (07). Starscream's final head design was actually Megatron's first head design!

[@d-wrexxkingdom7326]

This video is amazing primevsprime please make more and maybe do Lockdown next, but next time please add vehicle modes

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@Traph]

Great video! Next time my picks are the Concept Camaro Bee from 07, Optimus, 07 Megatron.

[@eternaldragon2745]

Since they're doing a lot of RotF figures like Sideswipe and Grindor, I hope we get an RotF Ironhide soon, with SS Ironhide being over $100 on the aftermarket.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

I hope so too although a DOTM version is more likely

[@kairiley8520]

[@Stormer47]

Love these comparison videos. Anything that does in depth side-by-side comparisons is awesome.

[@trompimusprime4510]

6:26 actually, they designed that toy mainly for kids, and the leader was meant to be the collectors item. With this in mind, you can actually just grip it in place while you move it and no damage is done. I have had both the MB and the original for well over two years and the gears still work just fine.

[@depreston2915]

I’d like to see bonecrusher brawl barricade jazz (wait this line up seems familiar) and since I haven’t seen many of em drift?

[@benyyz]

The voyager Bonecrusher figure from the the first movie is amazing. It's one of my all-time favourites!

[@mrJoelVFX]

To this day I still believe SS Grimlock is the best looking and most accurate of the Studio Series line with Blackout being a very close 2nd. It's also because of these 2 figures that got me into Studio Series in the first place. When I first saw Grimlock my first reaction was "wtf? these figures look just like the Transformers from the movie, they dont even look like kids toys". At this point Beast Machines figures were the last Transformers I had collected before I got back into it with Studio Series, so its been about a 20 year gap lol

[@PrimeGamerReal]

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Thanks so much! & yes definitely will include in the future!

[@terencetsang9518]

To this day I still hold the two initial Leader Classes (Blackout, Grimlock) as the gold standard of SS figures. Chock-full of details, excellent balance between the modes, and of course, big chonky units of a bot. Save for Grindor (a retool and strict improvement over the former), the Bee Prime, and the '86 Hot Rod, I don't think any of the other SS figures ever attained to that height. Devastator is a pure feat of engineering in its own way, but... just not quite there overall speaking.

[@auberginemanproductions1608]

What about Blitzwing? He was pretty dope

[@autobotzapof0002]

NGL this would be a good series. And that grimlock actually surprises me.

[@kingnewcomer2029]

Another stellar review, PVP! 😃 I’d say I agree that while the original figures may be better in certain aspects, the newer Studio Series figures are vastly superior! I’m really loving this new take on you comparing the older Michael Bay Transformers figures to the recent Studio Series versions, and seeing which one is truly the better representation of the live-action films, and would love to see you continue this style in future videos! I even have some ideas of my own like Sentinel Prime, Jolt, ROTF Soundwave, DOTM Jetfire, and DOTM Megatron! Look forward to the next video! 👍 Keep up the awesome work! 👏

[@PrimeVsPrime]

[@NoGoodDirtyRicer]

I do think it’s worth adding an alt mode comparison in future parts of this series. It really would help explore the differences in the engineering between, for example, a Starscream made now and one made back in ‘07.

[@clockwork6966]

I think this series could be even cooler if you went through all the figures you have for that character to date. So for starscream it would have been nice to see the rotf voyager and dotm deluxe in your comparisons for your thoughts of what is truly the best.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

Oh wow yes that’s a real nice idea actually! Thanks so much :)

[@makswolanski5549]

That og starscream will always havea special place in my heart. It was one of the first toys i had, and the only high quality transformer i ever got (couse all others i had untill now were some small, simplofied ones made for kids). Tho mine looks a bit different than yours but from what i found, the variant i got was a target exclusive named "deep space starscream", which was in much more movie accurate colours

[@Kamiyartz]

The 2007 toyline looks more cartoonish than the subsequent toyline but yet I still love them due to nostalgia and is what introduced me to Transformers.

[@bahrahfahofficial1158]

Nobody ever noticed but on the original '07 Starscream, you can slot the missiles into his arm-holsters to evoke the look of the null-ray cannons. At least that's how I view it.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

That’s very cool!

[@anthonynguyen7673]

Hey, I really enjoyed the video and I know it may be a pain but I do think the video would be even better if you could include the alt modes too.

[@JewishCircumcision1155]

My Grindor figure let me down. I recently got him and the pieces that cover the rusted rotor in helicopter mode (in the front) do not plug in nicely (or at all). They just stay opened and it pisses me off, but oh well. Beautiful ‘former anyways

[@AnchorOfTime]

I still have my original ROFT Leader Optimus Prime, and clunky as it may be compared to modern day SS figures, it's still endearing. Plus i love the ability to combine with ROFT Leader Jetfire

[@Indie3444]

I would love if you compared their alt modes as well. I think alt modes are just as important and can be improved just as heavily as robot modes

[@snipetysniper]

Nuclear take: The ROTF Voyager would have been a way better mould to use as a starting point for Studio Series Starscream than the dotm deluxe

[@DragoonMS]

True, but the DotM Deluxe came out more recently before SS06...and folks have been saying that SS06 was an upsized version of the DotM (personally, I don't see it, even having seen comparison pics). Besides, he used the 2007 Voyager to compare.

[@ejhproductions1]

TLK Drift, Classic Camaro Bumblebee, Concept Camaro Bumblebee, Bonecrusher, and 2007 Megatron would be my picks!

[@v-squared]

This is a great idea for a series! DotM Ironhide does have the best Ironhide altmode though. He's the only one with no visible robot parts underneath.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

That’s very true!

Revenge Of The Fallen Megatron was shown as the first triple changer transformer. Too bad we don't get that in toy form, but hope we do in the future.

I actually like the fusion cannon of the original Voyager Megatron a lot more than the Studio Series. The way the blade deploys is much more visually interesting and you can actually hold the blade in place without stripping the gears because that's how the mechanism was designed.
