To the few people stating that Unique Toys transformations are fun or good....I'm glad you enjoy them. If they are something you like, if you are a fan of super complex conversions than hey more power to you. I'm happy you like that. I personally like it to a degree and my recent experience with Niro and Desperado left a bad taste in my mouth with their transformations, which is why this is titled the way that it is (felt that needed some clarification).
Okay but Dragoon, Challenger, Peru Kill, La Hire (dx9 but its pretty much UT) and now Red Dasher all have great transformations. So only 2 out of 7 ut figures have difficult transformations. They are still known for their great engineering while also making it fun.
I think it maybe depends of what you are comparing them with. Your experience are mostly with official stuff, so when compared to that, yes, unique toys can be a chore, particularly the two you mentioned. The others who claims otherwise most likely compared unique toys with other 3rd party mpm scale products, which is to say, toyworld, alien attacks, and newage. And when compared with those three, unique toys are definitely on the "fun" category, because holy shit, those other three.
I think it's safe to draw the conclusion that you'll enjoy Unique Toys' carbots transformations. Lucky for you, UT is pumping out carbots consecutively.
their engineering is just solid in general i picked up their bruticus a while back and that thing's combination is a joy to execute and beyond that their blurr is also really highly regarded from what i hear
I’ve personally never experienced any problems with the transformations of unique toys, just that they can sometimes be drawn out, but are never too uncomfortable, difficult, or straining to do. But that just makes me trust in this toy just that much more.
Finally, a transformer that understands where knees go. Still not low enough but I can finally say that I cant honestly say that the knees are too high.
Also, the shins are just about the same length as the thigh depending on if you include the foot and which knee you use, but a correctly placed knee will have the distance from directly between the double joint joint (or just the joint) be closer to the bottom of the foot than to the top of the thigh. The only time I can think of that this was gotten right was legacy tarn, who did this correctly even when excluding the lower joint. Let me know if anyone else has correctly placed knees, cus it is very rare and can immediately make any toy 500%better no exceptions.
@@Sponchbapvanapants the aoe thing right? Yeah thats definently up there (pun intended). I'm not sure if it is *the* worst, especially since the joint is placed in the shin instead of the thigh. But still a very bad knee. Unrelated, but I just got the yolopark scourge, and the knees are just barely there. Id say the lower two knees are probably just low enough for me to like them, but there's a third knee joint, so I simply measured from the wheel embedded in the knee, and the thigh stops at around ankle height. Gotta take what I can get, and what I got is a knee that looks low enough but isn't.
They should totally dip their toes into Sideswipe, no company has done an MPM styled Sideswipe and it doesn’t look like Has-Tak is going to for a good few years
Yes, someone else suffering with me. At least his knees are just a couple millimeters away from being perfectly placed so the lower body isnt a complete waste.
UT have always been miracle workers. I really hope they get to ROTB Mirage soon! But considering how long ago THIS movie came out I shouldn't hold my breath.
In fact, UT's Dino has received a lot of criticism in china's tf forum, such as the painting quality and the perfunctory design of details, but I think the simple and logical transformation is where it is close to MPM, that is, to sacrifice 10-15% similarity but get comfortble transformation.(On the contrary, UT's galvaltron, i think it sucks.)
Unique Toys often use a sort of inside-out style of transforming for their Transformers. This is seen with their Galvatron. It may seem like cheating, but it prevents nasty back kibble, so I don't care.
I prefer Alien Attack Firage. Lines up better in a SS display, the alt mode is way cleaner and there are no fake parts in bot mode. Had mine for years and transform nearly weekly with zero issue.
I can’t wait for mine to show up. It should be here in the next few days. This guy was an instant buy for me. I absolutely love everything Unique Toys has put out.
I have this guy along with Human Alliance Sideswipe and MPM Bee! Now if only they made a Third Party MPM Dotm Wheeljack so i can complete the Fearsome Foursome dotm infiltration squad!!! Que please return!
@@alobaymarhey, we meet again! Yeah, I wish Que got some love as well. We now already have two versions of a MPM style Dino and soon there's gonna be an MPM style RoTF Twins figure. Just hope an MPM style DoTM Que from a third party isn't merely a distant dream. To hope on Hasbro, they haven't even finished the 07 film line yet as Brawl is still not out since it just got revealed recently.
If the DOTM toyline didn't get cancelled and delayed who knows how it would have continued, maybe we could have gotten a Human Alliance Que (that would be so badass)
@alobaymar ...I have nothing against Que's design, and I have been actually diagnosed if my depression matters. Either way we're getting a Studio Series figure for him soon, and I'm actually kind of excited for it.
I prefer the Black Mamba Dance Of Death KO of Firage by Alien Attack. That one has articulated hands, a better looking head, articulated arm blades, the toes all touch the ground, the car mode is much more accurate, plus it doesn't have sturdy child bearing hips. Black Mamba often improves these Unique Toys film figures, if they improve it enough I'll pick up the (cheaper) KO.
Wow, thanks. This is the best version of Dono. I am definitely getting this guy from Unique Toys. The BS-01 Dance of Death is another trash version. of this guy! I always appreciate the reviews. I will be using your code for the $3 off. 💪🏾
Hey that toy guy, so I’m from the US and whenever I order something on eBay or Amazon from Japan or china, it doesn’t come like at all so idk if tfsafari would work for me but do you trust tfsafari to deliver your products because I see you got them just fine and I know your from Canada so should I give tfsafari a try?
The only figure of theirs I've got is Nero (Galvatron). I also got the oversized FL-01 version of that figure. I agree on one thing.....They look REALLY good, but transforming them is an interesting proposal.....It's the reason I passed up on all the others up until Nero, but I just COULDN'T pass on that one because the alternative at the time was......his AOE Voyager Class figure.......But, I think your review may have compelled me to get another of theirs!
I will admit the bit about your code for tfsafari is going over my head. Every time you mention it you pause and say “yeah I know” but I don’t know. I’m probably missing the joke lmao but I NEED TO KNOW lol
It's cause it's so small. I'm pre-emptively saying yes I know to steer away the comments of "the code is too small". I don't control the size of the discount (tho I wish I could)
I was half hoping we wouldn't have faux chest piece, and I'm fully aware that it would probably end up with super messy transformation with that design. I feel like this is more studio series++, which is good and bad.
Cool Dino. Cool that his transformation isn't a nightmare. I like Dino's design, hes one of the better Bay designs. But, hes got nothing on my boy Mirage! Love him! In my headcanon, Mirage & Bee sneak out of the Autobot base to catch a movie at the drive-in theater every so often (sneaking into the back row to not be seen/attract unwanted attention). They both think that Optimus doesn't know, but he _definitely_ knows (he's always known). lol It was actually Mirage's idea to go to the drive-in in the first place, cuz he wanted to have some fun with his bro Bumblebee. Bee at some point discovered that he could record the movies' audio to use to speak later. & hes been doing that ever since. & ofc, they both just enjoy the movies they're seeing, too. The funny thing is before Optimus (in ROTB) said "I do not want you to go to that drive-in theater anymore", Bee & Mirage didn't know that Optimus knew. & yes, in my headcanon Bee & Mirage are kinda brothers, their dad is Optimus, & Arcee feels like an older sister who tries to prevent her younger brothers from getting into trouble. Also, Ferrari has cool cars, but they're a dumb company. Like, really!? You can't customize a car that YOU bought and now YOU own!? And only ONE company/person can have the toy license at a time!? Like, really dudes!? At least let 2 companies/ppl to have the license at a time! Stick up their butt, indeed.
I don't dislike the sponsor. If you are confusing tfsource with tfsafari then I understand. I don't like tfsource but I like tfsafari (the sponsor on the video)
I have the upscaled Alien Attack (I think?) Dino, and it's one of two MPM-like figures I've handled that I actually remotely enjoy. This looks so much more fun! The faux chest is ugly to me (but of course that's the only way to make it accurate), but if I collected MPM still this would be a fairly easy replacement.

DON’T USE TFSAFARI!! They ripped me off of a lot of money for mechanical alliance figures. You will pay and never receive your product.

Here’s a hot take, I like Dino’s design from dotm
I like his design too
That’s no hot take, that is fact
His design is really cool and looks way better than mirage from rotb
I think it’s alright, the body design is cool but I kinda find the face creepy sometimes
@@giovonniiclaytonthey would be a killer duo if there was jazz with dino and mirage
Unique toys is known to have the best bayverse trasnformations
their engineering is just solid in general
i picked up their bruticus a while back and that thing's combination is a joy to execute
and beyond that their blurr is also really highly regarded from what i hear
He don’t wanna talk to anybody today
I’ve personally never experienced any problems with the transformations of unique toys, just that they can sometimes be drawn out, but are never too uncomfortable, difficult, or straining to do. But that just makes me trust in this toy just that much more.
i personally refer to him as dino cause it fits him more
I mean that is his name
He does not have any other name and definently did not steal one from a blue formula car.
I think canonically speaking, Mirage and Dino are separate characters. The same can be said for Que and Wheeljack.
@LeifTunteri-lm6un True. True for the Bayverse and the Knightverse. Mirage is a separate guy
@@jeremiahsacks2868it’s not stealing. It’s a reincarnation of the name, skids isn’t the same skids as g1, bumblebee isn’t a VW beetle in bayverse

I never thought too much about knee placement before High Octane Bumblebee, that's got to be one of the worst right ?

They should totally dip their toes into Sideswipe, no company has done an MPM styled Sideswipe and it doesn’t look like Has-Tak is going to for a good few years
I'd buy
Black Mamba did one ages back
@@kattoprime8435it was just an upscale of side arm sideswipe i think
@@stadic5311 It was also modified quite a bit, but yes
His crotch armor looks like bumblebee’s battle mask
Yes, someone else suffering with me. At least his knees are just a couple millimeters away from being perfectly placed so the lower body isnt a complete waste.
I can't not see that now.
@@HollywoodWick3d yes suffer
After this dino i'm quite excited for their stinger and twins
The engineering will probably be a marvel for both of those
UT have always been miracle workers. I really hope they get to ROTB Mirage soon! But considering how long ago THIS movie came out I shouldn't hold my breath.
Wait wait wait, Unique Toys made a dino???? Holy fuck!!!! I thought they were done... Like... Entirely
I always forget he was even in the movie. I just remember him as Mirage from the DotM video games lol
I had no idea this was a thing.
I stopped your last video when you mentioned him and pre-ordered it immediately.
I'm so ready for it to show up.
I find unique toys transformations really good. The only hard ones are Nero(i got used to it) and Desperado. Alien attack on the other hand....
Imagine if UniqueToys actually got the liscense over Hasbro tho...
I'd laugh ngl
7:58 "metal bending effect"
Dino is Toph now. I don't make the rules.
I am America's #1 Dino fan. Great guy
It’s probably easier due to the fact that its a first trilogy design and not a super complex humanoid design that hides all the alternate mode parts.
yoo why does his crotch look like Bee's masked face from the Bumblebee Movie 💀
great review btw, huge fan.
this is one expensive transformer i would pay for
In fact, UT's Dino has received a lot of criticism in china's tf forum, such as the painting quality and the perfunctory design of details, but I think the simple and logical transformation is where it is close to MPM, that is, to sacrifice 10-15% similarity but get comfortble transformation.(On the contrary, UT's galvaltron, i think it sucks.)

2:20 wait, what's facing the wrong way?
On all the images I saw while doing research, the red parts were facing each other, not the way they are on the toy
@@ThatToyGuy oh on the back wheels, yeah I see what you mean
love the NEFFEX intro song
I prefer Alien Attack Firage. Lines up better in a SS display, the alt mode is way cleaner and there are no fake parts in bot mode. Had mine for years and transform nearly weekly with zero issue.
i shit... i just noticed something that i will never unsee... the hips looks like bumblebees battlemask
I can’t wait for mine to show up. It should be here in the next few days. This guy was an instant buy for me. I absolutely love everything Unique Toys has put out.
I want to make dino out of lego and i think this figure would be good to use as a refrence
I have this guy along with Human Alliance Sideswipe and MPM Bee! Now if only they made a Third Party MPM Dotm Wheeljack so i can complete the Fearsome Foursome dotm infiltration squad!!! Que please return!
Would they need to get Einstein's likeness actually? Idk how to feel about that lol
Your "clinical depression" wants to drain all the fun away because you don't want others to enjoy things like Que's head design
@@alobaymarhey, we meet again! Yeah, I wish Que got some love as well. We now already have two versions of a MPM style Dino and soon there's gonna be an MPM style RoTF Twins figure. Just hope an MPM style DoTM Que from a third party isn't merely a distant dream.

I miss his reviews...

I got mine a few days ago and came to similar conclusions. Definitely awesome and highly recommended, mine even came with ferrari logo stickers!
is there a wei jiang version of it somewhere available ?
I knew his name in the 3DS game, it was Mirage, idk when they named him in the film, did his name changed ?
Awesome review, love it!!, only thing u forgot is that the heels split apart for more stability
You should take these transition intros and make reels out of them! Theyre some of the coolest parts of your videos but i also just like your videos!
What part of Ferraris brand would it damage if they gave licenses
This tranaformation is so refreshing in the eyes. 😇
How you fixed the loose shoulder?
Wow, thanks. This is the best version of Dono. I am definitely getting this guy from Unique Toys. The BS-01 Dance of Death is another trash version. of this guy! I always appreciate the reviews. I will be using your code for the $3 off. 💪🏾
how did u fix the arm cuz mine is loose too but I tightened the screw on top and that didn't work
is there a robot to car mode video, coz everyone is doing car to robot mode
are gonna make a review for ut lockdown?
it’d be really cool if you could take a look at some of the new legacy wave of figures
I dunno, this feels too simplified to the point that I think, can be considered a flipformer
whats the name of the song you used in your intro :0
Really hope unique toys will make the wreckers from dotm that would be epic
What are your thoughts on the MPM 15 reveal?
worlds first time someone has the new toy before primevsprime XD also unique toys movie transformations are always nice except nero
Hey that toy guy, so I’m from the US and whenever I order something on eBay or Amazon from Japan or china, it doesn’t come like at all so idk if tfsafari would work for me but do you trust tfsafari to deliver your products because I see you got them just fine and I know your from Canada so should I give tfsafari a try?
Love the review and thanks for the new song because of the intro song I love it
I honestly think studio series did and amazing job with him but this is beautiful!!

UNIQUIE TOYS ARE FUN TO TRANSFORM BRO
What was that you were waiting for?
Love DotM Mirage so much
looks cool, I finally got the KO of the second studio series Optimus and have now Jetpower Prime, still on the hunt for some decepticons
I will admit the bit about your code for tfsafari is going over my head. Every time you mention it you pause and say “yeah I know” but I don’t know. I’m probably missing the joke lmao but I NEED TO KNOW lol
It's cause it's so small. I'm pre-emptively saying yes I know to steer away the comments of "the code is too small". I don't control the size of the discount (tho I wish I could)
toyworld is a 3d party company and it's an australia only toy shop
ThunderThighs looks pretty good.
Couldn't disagree more - many of Unique Toy's transformations are genius.
This transformation reminds to Hot Rod studio series 86 for some reason
I can kinda see it
Please do comparisons with other figures
Unique toys transformation is bad??
It looks like a refined La Hire
Did you see it, it was masterpiece ironhide
Pretty sweet!!! Shame I go for ss scale
Pick one prime to stay, the rest gotta go
Ss102
Gamer edition
Earthrise
Volvo
Reactivate
Thanks for this video!❤
eh i would have liked a bit more complicated transformation like their other figures.
Bruh I use your code on every order but man I do hope they increase your %off at some point tho
Hopefully
THOSE ARENT PANCAKES!
THEY ARE DORAEYAKI!!!
It would have been great if mirage turned into anything else but a Ferrari why would anyone want to deal with them is beyond me 😂
Quick question: it is EEEEASYYY to transform?😂
am i the only one who hates the way those hands look???
I was half hoping we wouldn't have faux chest piece, and I'm fully aware that it would probably end up with super messy transformation with that design. I feel like this is more studio series++, which is good and bad.
This figure is nice, but theres this one called firage that I remember being waaay cooler and just a better figure
DINOOOOOO👊🤠
That looks so cool
I'm only have the SS
Something about this transformation makes it seem unfinished to me
DINO YAY
Cool Dino. Cool that his transformation isn't a nightmare. I like Dino's design, hes one of the better Bay designs. But, hes got nothing on my boy Mirage! Love him!

Does it not hurt to advertise a sponsor you dislike?
I don't dislike the sponsor. If you are confusing tfsource with tfsafari then I understand. I don't like tfsource but I like tfsafari (the sponsor on the video)
What do you mean?
@@ThatToyGuy You're correct, I was confused. My mistake
Most UT transformations aren't hell, you just have skill issue ☝️🤓
The only difficult one is Desperado, and it isnt even that bad.
