It always bugged me Car Shatter was awful but Jet mode was great and Car Dropkick is great but Helicopter mode was rubbish. It messes with my display ethics!
Is it juts me or does jet mode shatter feel very light and cheap?
@@sueshi7383 I thought it was decent! Not the best but it ticked all the boxes of what I wanted from a Shatter figure (for that price)
@@RC80studio idk I like he look of helicopter drop kick and seems to have a real good chopper and transformation even if he colours are off
TRASH.
@@RC80studio yea
She's the main shatter on my shelf
I think everyone knew that Cliffjumper was going to make this list
Who TF Is CliffJump-
I ain’t gonna bring this joke
This will get me Transformed into a Canceled mess
Poor Cliffjumper… always getting shafted in some form or another.
I thought he was a repaint of b127
@@loydzero he’s ALWAYS a repaint but he came out first than B127
Absolutely
lock down isn't small... He's the same size as ratchet, 22 feet. The size is accurate.
@@papermelon Exactly. Iron hide is even bigger than Lock down. The size is accurate. We
That Shatter figure is the worst for me. Those pegs on her chest are one of the worst design flaws I've ever come across. During transformation, I was unable to detach the car fender pieces from the peg, and it snapped clean off. Had to get the buzzworthy reissue as a replacement and now the original remains in vehicle mode forever.
the jet version is terrible too with no articulation
@@orhandalegend at least it's movie accurate
@@KungFuGrievous i dont care its not a fun toy
My Shatter had a glued head that was incapable of rotation, making the transformation impossible. I had no choice but to get another one and leave that one as a broken wreckage.
@@orhandalegend bruh the jet version is ALOT more articulated in comparison to the car version. Only issue the jet version has is the fact that it had kibble on it's back but other than that it's far more movie accurate and doesn't have parts flying off whenever you try to make the slightest move with it. Between both figures literally most fans would pick the jet version for both entertainment purposes and for movie accuracy
All things considered, they had a rough start to the SS line. Many were not very accurate and built ok, same when they started bringing out the Bumblebee series figures. Glad they've really improved though cause I love the SS line.
Something that pisses me off even more with this VWbee is the fact that the power charge bumblebee that was made before this SS version had a much better leg kibble management, using that design philosophy here and making for more room on the spine so the hood stays more flush would make the robot work much better, it would still be inaccurate, but at least the pieces would flow together on a nicer way. His headsculpt kicks ass though, I'd buy the figure only for that Head
Same
We have the same profile pic
@@b-1274 oh would you look at that! It's me!
I know! I wanted to love this figure SO badly. I mean...the robot mode, I can let it pass since it was designed before the final version of Bumblebee was released (even if the door wings are slightly large and unwieldy), and it came with some cool accessories and a interchangeable battle mask.
But the vehicle mode...ohhhhh GOD the vehicle mode. It's so fiddly and doing it does not make me feel good doing it. And it just feels like a hand grenade. One touch and BAM, a panel is out of place and you have to smash it together to even keep it in vehicle mode.
15:36 THE BIGGEST PILE OF SH**
I'll say it again.....I've looked back at the AOE scenes, Lockdown was NOT the same height as Optimus
Well to be fair optimus is a truck and lockdown is a Lamborghini
Studio Series Lockdown is actually perfectly in scale with the voyager class Optimus figures. He’s only around 22 feet tall in the film and only looks larger in the fight scenes due to forced perspective.
i have this figure but it’s the orange one that isn’t lockdown and i’ve transformed it so much parts broke off he’s currently sitting in my closet bc the build quality is so bad
Stinger doesn't deserve to be on this list at all
Yeah, I don’t get it either. I’m not the biggest fan of the Bayverse designs, but Stinger’s SS figure is a pretty accurate and a decent and involved deluxe figure. Compare the SS figure with an image of Stinger from the movie and it’s the closest figure that resembles it.
Tbh I think the same for the satellite soundwave too. I physically sighed and shook my head when I saw him
I think lockdown is a good size, if you pause moments with lockdown vs Optimus, you can see he is clearly a decent amount shorter. They look similar heights because Optimus's fighting stance is alot lower when he's fighting lockdown. The studio series lockdown is also the same height as the studio series ratchet which I think is a good size, 20ft tall Lamborghini is still solid
I mostly agree but car shatter would be middle of the list, helicopter dropkick would be pretty high because it’s not that bad, and scrap metal wouldn’t be on the list
Yeah. Helicopter drop kick isn’t really that bad of a toy aside from just being inaccurate and scrapmetal is one of the best studio series; sure he does look very slightly g1 but he’s still just as alien looking as long haul or scrapper. Yeah a bucket head would’ve been cool but scrapmetals far from bad.
2:04 lockdown
4:07 crankcase
5:14 soundwave
6:38 cliffjumper
8:03 Scrapmetal from studio series of Devastator
9:20 stinger
10:53 dropkick
12:22 world war bumblebee
13:50 shutter
15:34 bumblebee Volkswagen deluxe
Buckethead? You mean Scrapmetal?
ok
Stinger it's a good figure
@@MiloNgoReborn thank you
@@LUZMFLORES090 I bought one before, cool transformation, but the quality is... 😐 The arm is so easy to depart from the body, pretty lose.
Studio series is Honestly a unique toyline,its remake the characters and make them more better than thier original toys,just like the masterpiece and the ss86
Bc it gets clicks and he probably had these cropped out already.
Not all are better than the original, aka Satellite Soundwave.
Yeah. They attualy looked more realistic
The fact that Hot Rod has a perfect lambo mode makes Lockdown look like a clown
The only good thing of the satellite Soundwave is the face, it not only is very accurate to the movie, but it looks way better than the DotM face, that was only Barricade 2.0. From that on, the figure is just awful.
The satellite soundwave make a good generic bot
@@Rustudio. that’s what I was thinking. But I didn’t even know they had a studio series Soundwave. I would have collected him
Honestly I'm just using him as a decepticon soldier not soundwave lol
@@Nigamaan2 same
He would make a pretty good Soundblaster ngl.
except that Bumblebee was made out of the concept art, so it's accurate before the designs changed.
I agree with the list for the most part, but I actually like Scrapmetal the Constructicon 8:03. He may look scrawny, and that plate has nowhere to go in robot mode, but he looks good with the rest of the team.
I think SS86 Arcee should have been on the list instead of Scrapmetal.
Being entirely honest here, I think Scrapmetal is an honorable mention at best for this list. I understand your complaints, but compared to the other entries on this list, the flaws are definitely more passable considering Scrapmetal doesn't have a role in the film beyond being combined with his team (a function and playable feature he is perfectly suitable for). And considering that we have to compare Studio Series Devastator to a very simplified (but electronic) RotF version that had fewer Constructicons and had no individual robot modes to speak of.
Instead I would recommend adding SS86 Arcee in the lineup. Though technically accurate in appearance, she is just a shell transformer with very large back kibble and a very finicky transformation.
That scrapmetal pose? Looks disturbing.
It was about time to see a video where you really get to talk about quality issues and terrible descissions made by Hasbro, you are now part of my selected sources to review TF figures...Very good video... We want another of the other TF lines out there....
I actually really like the ROTF Soundwave. I think the robot mode is very decent, and the fact that he includes a flight stand is just beautiful.
Like 3 years ago: "i will most likely disregard this figure for the rest of my time on this planet."
WWII Hot Rod: 💀💀
Let’s be honest, studio series figures wanting to be “in scale” with the movies is making really small figures. I miss rotf and hunt for the decepticons
Nice video, prime!! I love all your vids!
Super happy to see BB at the top of the list, as well as WWII BB making the cut, as those are my 2 least favorite studio series, along with car mode Shatter( who I returned twice due to being defective both times and never bought again). But Scrap Metal being on this list at all is bonkers. The deluxe movie figures in the studio series usually suffer the most due to having to be both small and incredibly detailed, so Scrap Metal was such a breath of fresh air. Decent bot mode, decent vehicle mode, and a fairly fun transformation.
Personally bumblebee volskwagen ain’t that bad for me, it’s a cool figure for a decent price point and I have a personal appreciation for it also something like soundwave satellite is probably worst as he doesn’t look good in either mode
yeah
My Scrapmetal’s arms were very very loose, so my devestator now has a giant claw on his left side instead of the original designed arm. My scavenger also had some bad luck and I had to glue the secondary pivot points to keep them from falling off
That “Crankcase” got me thinking: “What the HELL were they thinking?!” At LEAST remold the head
Im actually very surprised SS05 Optimus Prime didn't make in this list
it is not a bad figure and it is pretty overhated
I believe the WWII Bumblebee inaccurate car mode can be forgiven because I don’t think Hasbro would want a Nazi staff car alt mode.
I was waiting so much for this video!!!
The first 3 figures come out in the studio series with concept arts and not with the final production that we saw in the movie. This is why this 3 are almost innacurate design in robot modes
My biggest gripe with the SS satellite Soundwave was the size. He should had been a Voyage class size.
I can’t even get WWII bumblebee and hot rod to stand up on their own
One of the hinges under the window of the vehicle mode for shatter broke off. The redemption I would like to see if they made heavy retool off the mold and transform it to a different non off road car
I actually really liked the Stinger.
Well now I want a Ninja Turtle Transformer. Maybe a Donnie that transforms into the Turtle Van?
Love the video, I actually think that the BmB KO of the VW Bug Bumblebee is pretty cool, it makes for a fun action figure.
I remember having my dropkick figures legs being so loose that I had to lean him against the wall. I also have scrapmetal though I don't have the box anymore.
I removed that Studio Series Lockdown from my Decepticons because of the clunky design and I used him as an illusion for Sprite in my Eternals display. For Sprite!
Also the fact that he's not a decepticon
Can't say much about the bumblebee figure as even though I transformed it only once , I kept it in robot mode. I personally like the mode.
Also I agree about how disappointing it was for Lockdown not to have the head cannon. I lost that opportunity to grab one. I had the previous version and I sold it as I realized how inaccurate it was.
Who knows maybe they'll give us a more of an improved 3rd version. 🤔
The biggest slap to the face with this list was the VW Bumblebee... but I happen to own the special GOLD version of the mold. Not that this list is terrible. Just that I own the #1 worst figure, but with a more expensive coating!
Oof same, and I haven't even opened mine yet...
@@shrakner The arm blade on my copy kinda broke. The middle didn't split apart, but it loosened up and made the piece practically unusable anyhow.
The only one I can disagree with on this list is scrap metal. That's a fun little figure and surprisingly dynamic in both modes for being one of the most minor live-action characters to ever get a figure. Other than that this list is pretty accurate to which are the worst.
WW2 Bumblebee is the first and only figure I’ve put back into the packaging out of disgust, still planning to offload it one day
I would say the absolute worst SS figures so far I have had is ROTF Soundwave because of his knight robot mode. I didn’t mind Lockdown but I didn’t like that he was missing the gun face gimmick.
My jay dropped and I started laughing when you reached Volkswagen bumble bee
On my copy of studio series Stinger, his gun/roof arm thing actually broke. Like it literally slid out of the hole that the metal thing is supposed to be in
I know how primevsprime feels about trying to transform deluxe class beetle bumblebee since my copy won't tab into place
I gotta say, in terms of robot mode (which is all that really matter for it) Shockwave is the best Studio Series ever. It’s just so clean and compact. It looks super accurate, despite the purple, that was more for G1 relevance
Fantastic video review!👍👍👍
Besides scrapmetal and lockdown, your list is all the figures that I ever see in stores.
I actually really like the cliffjumper and bumblebee cybertronian mold, since you can make a really simple modification to the legs
Definitely have to agree with this list 100% Especially Bee. I only got him because he came with Dropkick for the Buzzworthy line and Dropkick was the one I wanted and he was the better of both figures. I’ve only transformed Bee twice, it’s such a frustrating figure sadly.
Very interesting pose for scrapmetal at 8:54 😂
I agree. Bumblebee was a pain to transform. Once I got it in vehicle mode, I left it in vehicle mode. That's how it's displayed
I can agree with you on most of them some others not so much I will give you my list of them if you want to see it
I agree about cliffjumper's front tabs. I don't own him, but I own his mold-mate, Cybertronian Bumblebee, and one of the tabs on him is now permanently embedded in it's slot, because it broke off during transformation.
Crankcase just being Crowbar with gold was really dumb.
As you mentioned; pointless character Berserker was released the year prior and was a perfect fit for Crankcase.
Personally, I'd say that the Shatter figure is the worst Studio Series figures. As you stated, they pieces keep coming off and I actually broke a piece of her plastic that connects her backpack with the back of her neck.
I was with you..but you lost me at scrapmetal. Stinger is SICK, I love the TFmation, who cares if dropkick was accurate, It is a near PERFECT cobra mode. Ill take the bot mode. its just fun. WWII Bee is good because we want more of off the wall stuff like that. Agree about SHatter falling apart, but would have been killer if didnt fall apart. VW bee is pretty neat for what they did with the parts.
6:40 you are not betrayed me you betrayed yourself…
The only thing I disagree with on this list is scrapmetal, as I quite like messing around with, him and I'd exchange him for longhaul because my copy needs to be mistransformed to slot into overload.
Scrapmetal was my first construction because I kept seeing him, and I don't mind him, he serves his purpose and he looks cool
the lockdown mold does have a waist joint,i have the shadow raider version to attest to this, yours might just be stuck
I one hundred percent disagree with rotf So Soundwave I just have so much fun fiddling with him and is just over hated + the alt mode is not that bad and the colors are plain but that's how the design was
the problem i have with cliffjumper is that he shares the same mold as b-127
@PrimeVsPrime could you write me the The essay about the volts wagon bumblebee transformer figure
One reason I never got stinger from the ss line because I already got the ksi sentry Figure which is just a blue version of stinger. As soon I transformed him for the first time. His entire roof snapped. The clear plastic snapped and broke. As soon as that happened, i was devastated. I tried fixing it, but that was out of the question since it was difficult to. Due to it made of clear plastic. Never will get Studio series stinger.
With the stinger figure I wanted to add one thing and that was the fact that the transformation in my opinion is incredibly difficult, i only even have it because it looks nice on the shelf and could be very good to use in stop motions
They probably are awful figures but I see a good cuz wee are getting new version of the masterpiece figures so they might fixed this studio Series figures and make them better
for one moment i thought you gonna put the jazz and grimlock and mix master... the only ones i have
Yeah both of my lockdowns arms broke off at the bicep joint, I can say it does deserve to be on the list
Satelight Soundwave never transformed in the movie, so it was mostly guess work, by Hasbro from the looks of things, in regards to AOE figures, that when the Transformers in the movies started to loose their idenity, example, Galvatron, he didn't really transform, he just broke apart and rebuilt himself as a robot, completely skipping the actual transforming side of things and by that point, I would say that the Bayverse films were just becoming bloated and kind of daft, I honestly believe Bay's talents lie more in action sequences than anything else, character development is clearly not his strong suit!
fine list but I don't understand Stinger, the way the whole car conceals into the torso is genius, the legs manage the kibble very well, and the arm canon while not 1to 1 to the movie manages to actually be part of the transformation. considering pretty much all ss cars have half of the car on their back, this one is pretty unique and well designed
Yeah not too much kibble on the robot mode. Minus the legs but still. But it is his opinion.
@@blueeyeddrago3540 sure it's his list, but I still don't understand x) I disagree for some others but understand his reasons about accuracy etc
@@Alzeal07 Yeah plus Dropkick helicopter form kinda sucks for me too only because the copy I got has loose legs
@@blueeyeddrago3540 also Scrapmetal, he's really good and clever, but I get that he's not as weird as the others
@@Alzeal07 It's surprising that he is a rare figure. I found out that he is $100+ on Amazon. I have one but I threw the box out.
Imagine having Studio Series figures.
_[cries in poor]_
Dropkick's helicopter variant looked more like a protoform rather than a completed Cybertronian
I thought it was just me having issues with my VW Bumblebee transforming, I guess not lol
I personally think dropkick should be higher on the list, it’s a solid figure even though it doesn’t look anything like the character. It could be a great mode for spinister or some aerial con. The vehicle is great and the weapons fit perfectly into the vehicle mode, maybe giving a better weapon or detaching the back propeller like blackout could do the trick
Man I wish we had these back in the day. I would of love to make my own wars with the military style vehicles.
Do you guys think they'll do a reissue of VW Beetle Bumblebee with improvements? I hope so.
I disagree with #1. I mean, he is adorable first of all, he is concept art, and he is one of the first figures in the SS line. Besides, who can resist that face?
I agree, even though I did purchase SS Crankcase just for the sake of completion to my SS collection. I was very disappointed because they just repainted Crowbar with Crankcase’s colors and called it good.
But think about it, whenever we get a SS Berserker, hopefully Hasbro will take to consideration and redo Crankcase with the proper mold he was supposed to have.
I had that WWII Hot Shot and can confirm he was a pile of garbage. I had him less than a day and actually took him back to the store to get a refund. The entire figure felt just fragile as if he’d break at any moment.
So. Are we gonna ignore SS number 1 2007 Bumblebee?
Oh man I think that guy is awesome!
@@PrimeVsPrime Then you must have a really durable copy. My copy got completely loose on me on the foldable roof and those bottom parts for the window wings.
I'm surprised that Barricade didn't make the list. He is too damn fiddley. I had to delete the windows to get him to transform correctly
The weight to his words everytime he says "garbage".
I actually like stinger for some reason I think it because I like the color but he isn’t the best tho
Prime vs prime studio series cliff jumper
With dropkick i feel like you could get him as a decepticon drone
I agree with most of this but Stinger?! That figure was amazing to me. The car mode was a MAJOR upgrade from the original figure, the robot mode is accurate, and he is highly articulated. I can understand the issues with the ninja star things on his back but otherwise i feel like he is a solid figure.
My top is this: (1 being the worst and 10 the lowest worst)
1: crankcase
2: WW2 Bumblebee & Hot Rod
3: KSI Sentry
4: Soundwave Satellite
5: Roadbuster
6: Bumblebee Volkswagen ss18
7: Optimus SS05/ Rotf
8: Topspin
9: Cliffjumper and B127
10: shatter ss40 (first mode/car mode)
*extra bonus* 11: SS19 and SS20 (the golden shits)
Damn, we never even got any of those guys sent to my country
Im suprised you didn't have the Studio Series 1 2007 Bumblebee here
Hasbro really shouldn't be making Studio Series figures of characters before their designs have been finalised. That's just asking for horrible inaccuracies. Sell us the standard release when the movie comes out then wait a year or so to drop the Studio Series. The helicopter Dropkick doesn't look like a terrible figure on its own. It just doesn't look like the character at all.
PrimeVSPrime, what are the chances that someone will release actual Triple Changer toys of Shatter and Dropkick?
I love car dropkick and plane shatter! It boggles the mind how each of them got a figure in Studio Series that is both excellent and awful.
i feel like people miss this alot, but lockdown actually seemed quite a bit shorter than prime in aoe
@8:54 OMG this is worst than Mr. Zucchini Head by Peter Griffin 🤣🤣🤣
Hey can you top 10 best bayverse grimlock toys (masterpiece and 3rd party included)
This cool video mister primevsprime
On my WW2 bumblebees I cut off his backpack, it still transforms and I can set the shell on the car
