Michael - your editing and overall style is fantastic, all these videos are so professional feeling and very watchable. You seem to have quite a thoughtful, almost Buddhist outlook gently permeating your voice over without it being over bearing. It's such a great mix. Also, Prime is my hero too. Its such a shame what happened to the character in the Bay era, you know?

[@gozinta82]

OMG Michael I used to have the original Sky Fire/Jet Fire figure from back in the day. From what I remember, it was metal and looked almost Identical to the VF-IS Robotech/Macross model of the time except I think the decals were varied. Man I miss that toy! Great Transformers collection! Makes me wish I still had all of the old ones my friend gave me when he moved :(

[@ClaraH.Carlson6thGradeCommitte]

Just found your channel. Thank you for sharing this amazing collection and bringing us back to the 80s. I can visually remember my time as a youngster searching the toy aisles.

[@captain4121]

I played with these for hours when I was a kid. Funny I remember being so jealous of my friend because he had Prowl. And I think he was jealous cause I had Sunstreaker. Between Transformers, Thundercats, Voltron, and He-Man, I had awesome toys growing up. The 80’s ruled for many reasons, and these toys (and cartoons) were a big part why.

[@johnredmond8173]

Thanks for another great video in what has been an amazing and must watch series.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks John! Glad you're enjoying it. :D

[@jasontran6265]

I love how you incorporate life lessons with your collection tour. Your channel is by far unique for the rest. Thank you for sharing your collection. I'll keep watching in repeat until the next!!

[@ScarecrOmega]

The MP-39 Sunstreaker looks way more like the G1 version, im sure you probably got that one by now. I too was a big Beachcomber fan as I shared his love for nature and animals. 15:00 - perfect life lesson there, Optimus couldn't have said it better.

[@JimmyCee123]

Michaels room - more than meets the eye

[@rockman369]

Mike, If you don’t mind me calling you Mike, as always fantastic video love the passion, time, and effort on your videos. Keep it up!!

[@shawnp4155]

Wow! You're amazing analysis and interpretation of Optimus Prime makes me want a real life Optimus to talk to the leaders here on Earth! Couldn't agree more

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks Shawn! 🙏

[@gabetheanimator6768]

So fun! Love those 80s musical soundtracts, clips and sounds you add. It sets the mood just right!

[@robledoeugene1975]

Great video and amazing prime inspired words. I didn't have a dad growing up so Prime was my role model and 34 years later he still is to this day. Cheers and happy collecting.

[@DavidT-cz1by]

I loving your videos with all your positive energy you have inspired me to fix one of my rooms up in my house into my toy room and finish my transformers g1 collection I was also a kid of the 80s I am 42 I love the cartoons and toys from that Era your channel brings us kids of the 80s great joy thank you

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks David, nice to hear that. Good luck! :D

[@gazz_N7]

These sculpts are fantastic! I was never really huge on Transformers, but I had my favorites, and you had them all, Hound, Shockwave, Sideswipe & Sunstreaker, Jazz, and Smokescreen! They all looked stunning! Thanks you!

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

The last few minutes of this amazing video got a subscription out of me...your collection is unreal and your outlook on life is wonderful.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks Christopher! Much appreciated.

[@wheeljack0]

What an amazing display.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks! :D

[@JMan1380]

Yay Part 8! Man, if you don't have an angelic sound play when you open that door, you should. I can't get enough of that initial sense of awe when these videos begin. Where is your preferred place to track down those hard to find necessities for your collection? What toy shows do you hit up regularly?

[@MichaelMercy]

That sound definitely plays in my imagination. :D I got most of my stuff from fellow Canadians on Ebay years ago so shipping wasn't too much, and a few things at a local convention. I live in a not too big a town so prices are more reasonable here than in the big city.

[@curtrogness1546]

Very cool collection

[@RobindeValkNL]

Thank you mr Mercy for showing your heart. And touching ours. I'm gonna become a patreon too. Been watching with a melancholy smile on my face for over 17 minutes. Again thank you

[@thomasmeehan4581]

Amazing. I love the way you have those displayed! Thank you for the video.

[@OldManTheseDays]

Rocking display!!! The MP line is amazing (as is the work of talented third party studios). TF MPs make up the bulk of my collection these days along with a few Soul of Chogokin releases. There’s something about these lines that do so well at capturing the essence of these toys the way you remember them, both as toys and in their respective animated forms.

[@timelord10]

Captain Foley from Trekyards sent me. Enjoyed what I've seen so far. Thanks.

[@MichaelMercy]

Welcome! Live long and prosper! :D

[@Nicopelli77]

Another fantastic tour. I like your combination of vintage mixed in with modern masterpieces.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks! :D

[@gtcreels532]

Remember clipping off the transformer points and sending them in for more transformers from their mail catalog? I got sunset and mirage that way after he was literally broken in half

[@davidsample7318]

Great idea with the micro gi joes! I'm going to steal the idea....

[@lesserz6310]

I like how you display them with bot, alt, and classic box/card. Also displaying them this way, you even got to use their extra accessories. When you look at mine, they are grouped by series...and clumped together. Which I might be considering display step platforms. I'll find you on facebook or twitter and send a current photo of my project room.

[@SgtRoxx72]

Fantastic video as always Michael. You sure know how to bring the nostalgia to life. Thanks for all you do, and keep up the great work!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks Scott! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks as always for all your support. Have a great week! :D

[@TrypticOwen]

Gotta say: your collection is very impressive. Always nice to meet a fellow Omnigonix Spinout owner! ;-) I've held back on many of the 3Ps in anticipation of official releases so I'm some way behind you in terms of getting a reasonably full set. I'm slightly regretting passing on some of them, now. I really like the way you've mixed 3P and MP products to avoid too much repaint duplication. I, too, went MMC for Inferno and official for Grapple (although Maketoys' Hellfire is the only one with a good length on the ladder) and I'm a little envious of your Terraegis and Paean - I'd go for these, too, but, as I always wanted Trailbreaker as a kid, wanted to wait for the official. For the same reason, I'm short of a Hound (although I'm more tempted by Maketoys' Gundog). I have a couple of things I'd recommend if you get the chance to pick them up. Shadow Fisher's hip modification has really taken my MP Ratchet to the next level and is very cheap. Badcube's Huff v2.0 is also very good and very reasonably priced. At the more expensive end of things, I have an MP Shockwave (with a Shadow Fisher relacement LED head) and a Maketoys Howling Meteor (I also have a 3P coronation kit intended for the official MP that I am confident I can modify to fit him) and both of these are well worth their purchase price. At the moment, I'm looking forward to MMC's Cliffjumper and I'm getting into legends scale collecting with a mix of DX9 and Mech Planet. I also have a WST megatron. I wonder if your experience was the same as mine? I transformed him once, very slowly, transformed him back, discovered much time had passed and that I was sweating like I'd been defusing a bomb, put him back in the box and decided it was enough for me that I simply owned him! :-)

[@dazrael5658]

Nice that you have Skids represented with the Binaltech version, it’s pretty much Masterpiece level. I found him tricky to pose though, you have a different stance on yours to mine. Binaltech Hound is a good stand in for a Masterpiece too.

[@Thehumblecollectoruk]

great collection

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks!

[@damssogood1]

You and your collections are amazing... i just saw your video and its bring me back the old memories, thanks man

[@davidfontaine8619]

Wonderful video, as well as the message toward the end. You rdisplay is beyond remarkable. I can't wait to see part 2!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks David! 🙏

[@dazbri4384]

I love transformers, g1 is one of my favorite toylines of all time. Loved your collection.

[@AdamT777]

Incredible collection... vids like these make me happy and proud to be a supporter of the channel (Adam T.).

[@dimitriusconstantine5732]

WOW! This is a seriously impressive collection!

[@171QA]

Very cool.

[@hitnrun1712]

Back when cartoons could entertain and pass on wisdom. A great piece of nostalgia. I think Peter Cullen did the voices for Prime and Ironhide which to me its not only what you say but how you say it. Great Job on the video. Love how it started with the darkside badguys and ended with the moral of the story . Thank you.

[@lo1bo2]

"Instruments of Destruction" ... nice reference to the Transformers animated movie soundtrack!

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

I LUV VIRTUAL TOUR : THE MICHAEL MERCY 80'S TOY MUSEUM [PART VIII ] !!!!

[@lo1bo2]

It's funny how Skids was almost completely ignored in the cartoon. Wow, that Omega Supreme is IMPRESSIVE! What's also impressive is your video editing skills. You deserve more subscribers.

[@chrisking8466]

Till all are one and autobots will never surrender to the decepticons.

[@corbralang1351]

Thanks for the great videos. You're channel is my favorite channel. 👍

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks! Nerdmasté! 🙏

[@FinnGreenland]

This… is incredible. Absolutely incredible. The funny thing is that this most likely more expensive than the G1 shelf xd

[@KJ-tz7vc]

Appreciated your reference to "The Rude Awakening of Optimus Prime." :-D

[@cobra.x666]

Awesome video brother

[@mizzikedvalle2172]

Great review, I love your videos your bring a certain quality to the network so keep on posting and I'll keep watching

[@allanforbes7720]

I didn't catch the significance of the mini figures at the feet of the Transformers. Gung Ho with Iron Hide. Sgt. Slaughter with Hound. Are these your closest matches to their personalities? Your words at 14:30 were beautiful and very peace inspiring.

[@Trekyardswebseries]

As a HUGE Transformers fan I absolutely loved this episode! Great job as always! Would love to do a crossover with you sometime! My collection isn’t too shabby either. ;-) Transform and Roll out! Till all are aware we are one! Loved the words of wisdom there.

[@dare2727]

Great video and collection. But the message at the end is the best thing about this video

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks. Till all are aware. ;)

[@drbladerunner]

Awesome video! Til all are one...

[@fen4554]

Do you have a background in production or is it just a hobby?

[@baldy2344]

Wow. You have an amazing collection. I wish I had a collection like your. I have some but it's hard to find the real ones. G1

[@MarcelosToyRoom]

Awesome transformers :D I only had one growing up :D it was a bootleg transformers called insectobots :D awesomeness video my friend:D :D

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks! Nerdmasté! 🙏

[@CoolHandC]

I’m new to your channel and love your collection! I see your Transformer collection and was wondering if you also have a Go Bot collection? I had both Transformers and Go Bots as a kid, but I liked playing with my Go Bots more.

[@williamfrankferge1957]

Silence!!!

[@primacon9190]

Fantastic!

[@xrpizzle]

Dude awesome idea masterpiece robot mode with g1 auto mode in front and unopened g1 original . Sick bro

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks David!

[@edwardjacobs4042]

Nice

[@buffyscave9329]

Awesome! Love your museum :-)

[@doomsdayl.o.d9349]

Love your toys collection man keep posting more videos more power nerdmasti✌

[@mr.supersentairobo455]

Wow

[@ArtDecay]

Would you mind telling me the measurements of that room? Your display is awesome and it looks like it's crammed into a fairly small room which is exactly what I'm planning to do when my kid moves out in a few years. Anyway, always love your videos!

[@GoofyFootersRule]

Your dugout is dreamy

[@marcusisrealious1255]

YOU ARE AN AWESOME HUMAN BEING MY BROTHER … I believe we would have been really good friends as children … Till All Are … Empathetic and Compassionate

[@SoundwaveNL1977]

Sweet collection. I like how you have them displayed with the G1 versions by their side. Can't wait for the G1 section. I choose the DX 9 Omega Supreme. He just looks more toon accurate to me. I own almost all Fanstoys figures and first owned TG as well but after seing the DX 9 I just had to sell TG. Everyone should choose what fits best for him I guess, just like you did with your Cronos. Take care buddy. Roy

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks Roy! I considered Gabriel as well but it was clear which one I preferred when I saw them side by side. Omega didn't make many cartoon appearances and the G1 toy was one of my favourites, so I went with the one that looked more toy inspired. You're right, we should all follow our hearts and not the crowd! :D

[@vince0896]

I have most of the G1 Transformers. But this is something from another planet Michael. I'm sorry but which Fans toys number is the Dinobots and Omega Supreme? Thank you.

[@Masada1978]

Any chance you'd be willing to share where to get the mini figures? I've been looking all over and I think my terminology is too limited. I can't find 1" posable figures. Amazing videos!

[@kbthetoyhunter1351]

Awesome awesome video bro

[@abg1777]

What stand are you using for your G1 Swoop? I've been looking for something similar for mine. Love how that is displayed.

[@astrofist]

Oh boy!!!!!!!

[@JMan1380]

Have you watched The Toys that Made us or the Funko documentary on Netflix? If you haven't, you should!

[@retroreaper1180]

Did you get the mp36 megatron? It looks friggin amazing

[@DillonTooley]

Nice work! Would you invest in these new third party combiners

[@chrisking6375]

Autobots will prevail anginst the decepticons autobot fans knows that.

[@nameless7838]

Good luck if they ever decide to make an MP scale Unicron. lol

[@samsarex4318]

I want to say all grapple figures look the same almost even the most recent figure earthrise grapple whitch I own and it is the first grapple figure I've ever owned now I just need to get earthrise hoist

[@shatteredglassfonsi1030]

How many times did Smokescreen pass the smog test?. _.

[@ButzMcC]

I mean in the grand scheme of things, are there other decepticons (non-devastator type) that you need?....ok i will admit, i LOVED AStro-train as a kid.

[@MichaelMercy]

Yeah, Astrotrain and Blitzwing had more personality than most of the G1 Deceps.

[@davidm6793]

What year were you born mr mercy may I ask

[@kievkh]

100

[@CoolHandC]

I loved the Transformers but I didn’t like playing with them when I was a kid. Too clunky and the more you transformed them the loser the arms and legs became. Not to mention that they would warp and crack the more you played with them. I played more with my Go Bots than Transformers. Sound Wave is still the best Transformer with the Constructicons a close second.
