    The deluxe sized version of Jetstorm did have the Vehicle neck gimmick. It was spring-loaded and had a little bit of articulation.

    Nightviper, to this day, still blows my mind. He was one of my favorite transformers of all time.
    I also had Tankor, the deluxe Jetfire/jet drone (yes, we all called him Jetfire), Thrust, and Obsidian, Scavenger, and a really shoddy megatron, along with a few others I barely remember.

    @wildetimes-anunofficialzoo5983 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    I really loved Hammerstrike. Cool beast mode, really unique Eva-influenced Robot Mode, and a clever transformation. Especially with how the tail splits into the robot legs.
    Just wish he was 1. Easier to find and 2. Not ridiculously fragile.

  • @LuminousPrime

  • @skystreak1983
    @skystreak1983 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    Sonic Attack Jet is one of my favorite toys of all time. Better colors and fixed a hair trigger issue that plagued the firing missiles on the Deluxe Jetstorm. And it kinda did have the neck thing in jet mode. It wasn’t as robust as the Ultra toy, but the cockpit did have a point of articulation when it was popped out.

  • @davewire87
    @davewire87 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    If you were going to include a Cheetor, Nightslash Cheetor definitely is the most solid Cheetor toy from this line. It’s a shame that his colors are so off, but the Universe repaint works really well. Happy to say I own or have owned quite a few of these. And I’ve been meaning to get my hands on Night Viper and Skydive as Beast Machines incarnations of Quickstrike and Terrorsaur respectively.

  • @NightmareZerogbs
    @NightmareZerogbs ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I think Buzzsaw was a very interesting figure, the transformation is pretty unique, if he had a better right arm, he'd be perfect.
    And I personally would rank Tankor higher, looks nothing like the show, BUT it looks absolutely killer, the eye gimmick working in both modes is straight up magical.

  • @Alverant
    @Alverant ปีที่แล้ว +8

    The Sonic Attack Jet did have the neck gimic. You had to push the trigger behind the cockpit and it popped out. You could turn it from side to side. I liked it more than the Ultra class because it was easier to hold in one hand.

  • @mjlee29
    @mjlee29 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So I was able to snag the Botcon Cyclonus reuse of the Ultra Class Jetstorm, and i am so thankful that Cyclonus’ purple Metal Vac job has not flaked at all. I also used to have a large portion of the Beast Machines but passed a majority of it along to my friend. I kept the cycle and tank drones, Mega class Tankor, Grand Mal Megs, Scavenger, Che, Mechatron and Mirage. Plus the deluxe Jetstorm DOES have a neck, TJ you have to press the switch behind the cockpit to pop out the head with a slightly articulated neck.

  • @misterdarwin
    @misterdarwin ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Good list. Beast Machines hit just after I started collecting Transformers again after a 10 year hiatus. Having left at the end of G1 (1988), I was appreciative of the articulation present in most of the figures, and loved a lot of the character sculpted into the new designs. You hit a lot of my favorite figures, including Sky Dive, Jet Fire, and Black Arachnia (the best of the deluxes by far) and Night Viper, who remains an all time favorite of mine. Obsidian may be the single best figure in the entire line and it's a shame he's never gotten a bigger version.
    I think the Basic figures are the ones that shone the most, and the ones I have the fondest memories of. Scavenger was just fun and versatile, and I liked the hockey-stick missiles and mask of Mirage. Longhorn and Quickstrike had some drawbacks, but their designs had a ton of personality.
    Lastly, I know that he wasn't an original mold, but there was something about T-Wrecks color scheme that worked much better for me than Megatron's purple, and that holds true for the new incarnation as well.

    Vehicon Mirage has to be up there for me in the few Beast Machines toys I own, I just wish the tabs on his hips weren't made of clear plastic, one of them snapped on mine...
    Also shoutouts to Snarl (the universe version, anywway), and basics Longhorn, they're far from perfect, but I do enjoy them both quite a bit.

  • @kevsil616
    @kevsil616 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I absolutely loved Night Viper! Pretty sure the Sonic Attack Jet/Jetstorm did have the posable cockpit neck. Just needed to hit the switch behind the cockpit and it would pop out giving you an extended neck with articulation

    BM Black Arachnia is awesome, and she is also in Alt Transformers Mush and Lexicons. Great toy. Still holds up 23 years later.

  • @SixshotRevan
    @SixshotRevan ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I know he didn't make this list because of clear plastic, but Vehicon Mirage is my all-time favorite Beast Machines figure. I love how much his color palette changes with transformation, and the sculpt uses yellow exhaust pipes on his shoulders that look like military dress-uniform pauldrons. Perfect for a Vehicon General. His packaging-bio also said he could short-range teleport, which is just plain awesome. My copy is still in great shape despite being well played with as a kid. Which makes me think his clear plastic isn't as vulnerable as other figures.
    I remember as a kid, I made the Beast Wars Fuzor Air Hammer his nemesis. Air Hammer's tail-blade-hand fit Mirage's neck perfectly to lift him by the throat.

    Interesting choices... my top ten would be based on which were the best or coolest looking toys, not going by show accuracy, so Blast Punch Primal wouldn't even make my list, and I actually preferred the deluxe Primal. My top ten would be:
    10. Spy Streak (this actually was my favorite color scheme; he'd be higher on the list if not for balance issues)
    9. Noble / Savage (Beastchanger)
    8. Night Slash Cheetor
    7. Battle Unicorn
    6. Optimus Primal (Deluxe)
    5. Obsidian
    4. Megatron (still a dragon, despite his size)
    3. Blastcharge (goofy robot mode, but I love him)
    2. Jetstorm (Deluxe)
    1. Tankor (Mega)

    A proper Anaconda could be a great Predacon. Doesn't have to be fancy. Legs extend out to lengthen the beast mode and fold up in robot mode. Have the head flip in and arms fold up to form a snake head that's detailed on the outside of the hands. Could easily be upscaled to for a leader class exclusive. Be a cool exclusive for a Jurassic Park crossover three. Give us a mosasaur figure!!!!! Upcoming Magmatron should give each of the individual dinosaurs a robot mode.

  • @AwesomeMooseSmile

    The funny thing is there are plenty of other good toys like night slash cheetor and mirage that weren't on the list, as well as some other figures that were pretty cool. I think beast machines as a toyline is really underrated. Sure the bad ones are REALLY bad, but I don't think the overall quality of the line is that bad.

    I actually really like "Webworld" because it adds to cyclonus' character in a really nice way. I like that it makes cyclonus something more than "evil decepticon" and actually adds an interesting sense of relatability to the decepticons. We've all been in that situation where you're trying to help someone you care about because you can tell that they're suffering. One of my favorite episodes of G1.

    I'm not sure where I read it but I recall reading somewhere that the Vehicon generals looked so different to onscreen because the design was already represented with the drone figures, and Hasbro didn't want to release what was effectively the same figure, just bigger with some slight deco tweaks... at least not back then, Prime Beast Hunters on the other hand...

  • @RialVestro
    @RialVestro ปีที่แล้ว +1

    First off... and this is going to be spoilers cause it's actually the LAST thing you said in the video. I'm disappointed you left out Hammer Strike cause it's one I know you like (despite the translucent plastic and breaking issues) and I also really like that figure despite the fact mine is also broken. I just like the design and I've always loved aquatic Transformers. At least he got an honorable mention. :P
    Technically Beast Machines Obsidian is actually the only character who's toy was designed and released BEFORE the animation model. His toy wasn't even on shelves anymore by the time he actually appeared in the cartoon which was weird. He was part of wave 2 while Strika didn't come out till wave 9 and almost didn't come out at all because the toy line was cancelled immediately after. It was always kind of weird to me that they first appeared in the same episode together but Obsidian came out before anyone knew he would even be in the show and Strika came out a year after they had been in the show.
    Also Deluxe Jetstorm actually DOES have the articulated neck in vehicle mode. The cockpit is collapsed in the picture there and that's part of the transformation into robot mode but there is a button that extends the cockpit allowing it to be articulated just like in the show. I have that figure and on mine that button is a hair pin trigger that often extends when I don't actually want it to. Once it's fully transformed it usually stays in fine but without the legs locking it in place for robot mode I'd almost never stay closed.
