Thanks so much for supporting my channel - the podcast will be a great way to get more consistent dumbjake content if you're wanting it :D
There was a size class/separate toyline during Cybertron called Legends of Cybertron, which became the Legends Class afterwards for a few years. That led to the Prime Cyberverse Commander and Legion Class toys a little later. All about the same size as Smallest Transforming Transformers. Speaking of, STT Soundwave's Ravage tape partner currently has the record for the smallest Transformers toy that can actually transform.
I know they're pricier, but 3rd party legends scale figures have been incredible lately, and definitely fill the void left by core class. The engineering on that scale is getting wild.
@rayhanmustakim7073 Look up newage, magic square, and even others like lucky cat have been making high-quality legends scale figures. I just got lucky cat's 2018 bumblebee figure cause it scales with the rest of my hot wheels collection.
About that robosen thing, with them not being playable. As much as it hurts to say, those aren't really meant to be picked up and played with. They're more like display things or remote control vehicles with the app thing. Plus, uh, i don't really thing they were GOING for playability with a 700 dollar thing.
I remember finding the Armada Unicron and Primus at my local flea market for $5 right around the time of the 2007 film. Really amazing figures. The Haslab one is technically more impressive but not nearly as fun. I think one of the biggest issues with modern figures is that they strive for 100% scale and accuracy while never factoring in price or what I call the "shelf factor", i.e. how on earth does one display a figure like Haslab Unicron. (Or HasLab Galactus, Sentinal, The Sky Striker, Sail Barge....who on earth has space for these??) Also I have never heard of that Stratosphere figure. I watched the opening of ROTF a ton on the ol' dvd and would've killed for that figure. I love "scene specific" figures! That mini Optimus is just pure gold.
One of your videos showed up on my recommended page, after I watched a few clips from the 2007 movie. Listening to you talk about different toylines is fun and relaxing, even for someone who isn't into toy collecting or Transformers.
Very surprised you didn't mention the little figures that come with HasLab Unicron, Autobot Ark, & the Galvatron companion pack. Also, Studio Series Shockwave comes with MINISCULE versions of Wheelie & Brains.
Dude ur so underatted keep it up. But i think you missed a company called DR WU. They make small (i mean SMALL) Transforming g1 figures. But yeah Nice video dude!
If you don't mind me making a suggestion for a video, I was always curious about transformers toys and figures that were NOT cybertronian, there's probably not much but I was always curious about the quality when they're not the main focus
You talk about size you mension robosen but you dont talk about the huge ass Titans the biggest ever transformers we ever got from the past 8 years 🤷♂️
3:08 Armada still slaps hard actually. You have to go through some generic 2000s kids anime parts in the first half or so, but when it gets going it gets really good. Like, the highs of Armada are some of the best parts of the entire franchise high, in my opinion.
As an adult who just watched Armada for the first time (and therefore has no nostalgia bias), I'm sure Armada is just as good as you rememeber. I loved it and thought it had so much cool stuff going on.
yeah! I like the size range thing too. I always wished Beast Wars pushed harder into that, but at least toward the end we did still have two tiny characters walking around among these giants, somehow able to operate the controls in the Ark. Toywise, they did vary a bit, but not that tremendously so. Not that I want anything smaller than basics, or could afford anything bigger than ultras, really.. Beast Machines' toyline ended up doing that for _just Cheetor._ crazy. I do like minicons, but I think most of the time they need to work on the modes a little, or keep them as targetmasters. I'm with you (and Top Hanks) on building/city mechs being pretty boring. I guess if Hasbro hasbrought back the tiniest, they'd have to call them "smallest _converting_ transformers." anyway Core class was too small, fun as it was... I have one rattrap too big, and one too small. not one who can properly give the business to Choppaface.
Smallest Transforming Transformers were so cool! I recall owning Bumblebee, but after 3 moves, I seem to have lost it. It's entirely possible the little bug is somewhere still in my collection, lost in a bin lol
Dang, I swear I own 3 of the smallest transforming transformers… SOMEWHERE. Moving sucks because you end up unpacking less than what you packed

The smallest transforming Transformer toy is World's Smallest Transformers Ravage. Comes with Soundwave. He's not a great Transformer, but he does transform. He's about the size of a SIM chip.
That's the dilemma of big transformers like unicron or triptocon they are supposed to be these gigantic things but you can't just make giant toys, it's impractical honestly to expensive so what they do is just make super tiny mini figures to show the size difference which also dosnt really do it justice Imo there's no wining the whole figure size debate, some complain that it's to big others that it's not big enough
All the 12 armada fans out there love minicons, but the micromasters apparently sold like shit, so they're very apprehensive about making smoll bois now
The loss of Core class really sucks both because I love having tiny Transformers that I can fiddle with whenever I want, and because I very much do not have the budget to afford $25 Deluxes, so this kind of prices me out of buying new Transformers, at least for the time being. Also, I was hoping we'd get a Core class Jazz at some point.
Kinda pointless, talking about "the biggest and smallest", without actually SAYING WHAT SIZE (like in actual measurements, not just "it's really big/small") any of them are. Or even photos that show scale. I still have no idea if the "really big" Omnicron is like 10 inches "really big" or 15ft "really big".
You mention Smallest Transforming Transformers in a video about Biggest and Smallest TF's and you don't mention STT Ravage, the actual smallest Transformer in existence? I have a STT Soundwave and his Ravage is small enough to lose in a bellybutton. It's amazing. In the 3rd-Party world, you also have the work of Junkion Blacksmith, who made Headmaster recreations of part of the G1 lineup that could form robots, heads, and their original altmodes. I have a G1 Headmaster Soundwave head, it's also awesome.
Don’t forget the Spy Changers and the recent Hot Wheels x Transformers collab that featured a fully transferable G1 prime in 1/64 scale. My heart is full of tiny robots.
What are the most (sus) transformers names I can think of some Big Daddy, Cancer (yes that is a name in the Takara Legends toy line, and Spark plug or joking called on TFwire some people call him“Buttplug”
Dunno if it's quite in your wheelhouse, but there's a few companies that make weird, transformers-esque toys that are shaped like numbers and letters - I remember playing with some of them when I was a kid. Most of them these days are generic Chinese drop shipping companies, but once upon a time there was a proper toyline of them (though I forget the name.) Could be an interesting subject for a video.
I didn’t know about armada Sparkplug until nearly four years after I made a transformer character that was a smaller, black pickup truck, also named Sparkplug. I still think mines better cause he’s mine you know
For me I think that hasbro made unicron too small, yes there will never be a unicron to scale with masterpiece or mainline figures but they set out to make the biggest tf toy of all time and while they did by 2 cm it aint enough, plus it looks like ass, I'd tske 01 studio cell any day
I have no problem with the transforming transformers that something I’ve been wanting as a kid but I cannot agree with you on those small ones they get destroyed and lost real easily. I guess you don’t like the price of the big ones.
The smallest transforming transformer Soundwave does have a tiny tape that “transforms” into a leopard (sorry, forget the name) but sort of in a flat way
the point of my robosen op for me is to just keep him off in robot mode and carry him around like a weighted doll because hes the same weight as my cat who died several months ago
Awesome toys mentioned, I have two long arms one with bumblebee and one without bumblebee, but I think you misunderstood the robosen range, they are not toys they are machines
hasbro's afraid of minicons cause the micromasters/prime masters didnt do too good sales wise which def has nothing to do with the fact that most of them were repaints of each other with identical transformations
I do have to wonder why so many Transformers TH-camrs only talk about official products. there are so, so many good third-party toys that could have been mentioned in this video. 01-Studio Cell for example is in my opinion superior to Haslab Unicron in just about every way but size. and on the opposite end of the spectrum Dr. Wu has some surprisingly complex yet *tiny* transformers. DW-E23T Ultra Magnus is only about 3 inches tall for example, and the basic optimus without the armor is only about 2.5 inches
I am espicially sad at the death of core class because it is what got me into collecting as an adult, for a long while I thought of transformers as shitty cars and shittier action figures (I am a picky bitch on articulation and how it affects the mold) and had simple transformations when stacked against the goat that is rotf optimus, but when I picked up soundwave for $10 I was absolutely blown away, he looks good in every pose, his transformation is fun, and he is a nice pocket size to be a fidget. I would not be seeing this video if not for core class.
nice vid, the Cybertron Figures were my first contact with Transformers, still have my Primus mostly complete and the Ironhide lion but lost Optimus but I really started being a fan after watching the first three bayverse Transformers movies, loved the designs and now half of my collection of Studio Series figures are KOs because the OGs are hard to get. Was surprised to see some older Studio series transformers reappear as KOs on amzn, now are Ironhide and Shockwave back on my list and the crown jewel of my bayverse collection is the KO Devastator

About unicron, try studio cells 01

So in summary, you love them small, instead of big....noted.
The smallest is probably Smallest Transforming Transformers Ravage, who came with Soundwave. Ravage was the size of a pinky nail.
There was a size class/separate toyline during Cybertron called Legends of Cybertron, which became the Legends Class afterwards for a few years. That led to the Prime Cyberverse Commander and Legion Class toys a little later. All about the same size as Smallest Transforming Transformers.

I know they're pricier, but 3rd party legends scale figures have been incredible lately, and definitely fill the void left by core class. The engineering on that scale is getting wild.
Can you tell us what're 3rd party legends scale figures you're referred to?
@@rayhanmustakim7073 anything by Magic square is a great buy in my opinion! If you go to TFSource you can sort by legends scale as well I believe
@rayhanmustakim7073 Look up newage, magic square, and even others like lucky cat have been making high-quality legends scale figures. I just got lucky cat's 2018 bumblebee figure cause it scales with the rest of my hot wheels collection.
Come on Hasbro! Jake just wants to play with a little guy...
#bringthemback
Scouts, Cores, Legions, Legends, Micromasters, Minicons, DOESN'T MATTER! We need Tiny Dudes What Turn Into Cars!
About that robosen thing, with them not being playable. As much as it hurts to say, those aren't really meant to be picked up and played with. They're more like display things or remote control vehicles with the app thing. Plus, uh, i don't really thing they were GOING for playability with a 700 dollar thing.

I love hearing that, thank you!

I was more interested in talking about stuff that actually transforms!
Dude ur so underatted keep it up. But i think you missed a company called DR WU. They make small (i mean SMALL) Transforming g1 figures. But yeah Nice video dude!
If you don't mind me making a suggestion for a video, I was always curious about transformers toys and figures that were NOT cybertronian, there's probably not much but I was always curious about the quality when they're not the main focus
Great suggestion!
interesting
You talk about size you mension robosen but you dont talk about the huge ass Titans the biggest ever transformers we ever got from the past 8 years 🤷♂️

The haslab unicron is so big, it was a literal burden on Thew Adams' life
9:53 Rat trap deserves his own video!
Stratosphere looks so cool, it’s a shame he suffers from Gold Plastic syndrome cus otherwise, I would’ve like to get him.
yeah! I like the size range thing too. I always wished Beast Wars pushed harder into that, but at least toward the end we did still have two tiny characters walking around among these giants, somehow able to operate the controls in the Ark.

Jake your kinda mistaken tripacon is metroplexus rival not fortress maximus is rival but fortress maximus arrival is scorpanok
Trypticon fought Metroplex and Fortress Maximus fought Scorpinok.
Smallest Transforming Transformers were so cool! I recall owning Bumblebee, but after 3 moves, I seem to have lost it. It's entirely possible the little bug is somewhere still in my collection, lost in a bin lol
Dang, I swear I own 3 of the smallest transforming transformers… SOMEWHERE. Moving sucks because you end up unpacking less than what you packed
The smallest transforming Transformer toy is World's Smallest Transformers Ravage.
Comes with Soundwave. He's not a great Transformer, but he does transform.
He's about the size of a SIM chip.
the "I wish i can read" part was priceless lol
3:01 Requiem Blaster
Q - Transformers toys?
That's the dilemma of big transformers like unicron or triptocon they are supposed to be these gigantic things but you can't just make giant toys, it's impractical honestly to expensive so what they do is just make super tiny mini figures to show the size difference which also dosnt really do it justice
Imo there's no wining the whole figure size debate, some complain that it's to big others that it's not big enough
An issue I found with the Armada Starsaber, the peg was slightly too big for Starscream so it'll cause stress on his hands.
All the 12 armada fans out there love minicons, but the micromasters apparently sold like shit, so they're very apprehensive about making smoll bois now
Another BANGER!!!!
The end of the Core class line doesn't mean that the trend of the small TF is dead. A new line will replace it
I have that tiny Wheelie and Brain that comes with Dark of the Moon Shockwave!
They don't transform, but still...
Where’s the old logo😭😭😭
Me when new Jake video 😁
The loss of Core class really sucks both because I love having tiny Transformers that I can fiddle with whenever I want, and because I very much do not have the budget to afford $25 Deluxes, so this kind of prices me out of buying new Transformers, at least for the time being.

Isn't someone making a 4-foot-tall Metroplex? And Fanstoys is supposedly still making that 4 foot tall body for Fortress Maximus.
Dunno if it's quite in your wheelhouse, but there's a few companies that make weird, transformers-esque toys that are shaped like numbers and letters - I remember playing with some of them when I was a kid. Most of them these days are generic Chinese drop shipping companies, but once upon a time there was a proper toyline of them (though I forget the name.)
Could be an interesting subject for a video.
Why can’t transformers toys just go back to having legends, deluxe, voyager and leader class. It was much simpler to understand
WHAT THE F*CK CORE CLASS IS GONE? NOOOOOOOOO 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠
Small Transformers were my favorite man :(
I didn’t know about armada Sparkplug until nearly four years after I made a transformer character that was a smaller, black pickup truck, also named Sparkplug. I still think mines better cause he’s mine you know
I actually own the World's Smallest Megatron
It's very fun to play with, but I can't imagine someone handling it with big hands
W video as always
Stratosphere didn't do anything probably because he was dying, anytime the man transformed he fell apart
There were minicons in legacy 2 actually jolt and windshear jolt came with hotshot and windshear came with shattered glass sideswipe/wheeljack.
For me I think that hasbro made unicron too small, yes there will never be a unicron to scale with masterpiece or mainline figures but they set out to make the biggest tf toy of all time and while they did by 2 cm it aint enough, plus it looks like ass, I'd tske 01 studio cell any day

tryptycon rivaled metroplex. fortress maximus rivaled scorponok

Awesome toys mentioned, I have two long arms one with bumblebee and one without bumblebee, but I think you misunderstood the robosen range, they are not toys they are machines
The upsetting part about the warfare Cybertron trilogy is that the construction patrol never got to see the light of day
How about omega supreme? I think he is bigger than metroplex and trypticon.
Please let me know if you too tried wiping that thing on the wall off thinking it was a screen mark
3:57 the funny thing is i think there was a mecha godzilla version of him and for the anime movie trilogy that mecha goji did become a city
hasbro's afraid of minicons cause the micromasters/prime masters didnt do too good sales wise
which def has nothing to do with the fact that most of them were repaints of each other with identical transformations
i literally have core soundwave and rattrap on my desk cuz theyre so smol and great :(
I'm pretty sure Fort Max's rival is Scorponok.
My dad gave me g1 metroplex and max trypticon and other ones like the small one and I think also a plane
If you want a smaller size of triptacon you can buy dr wu's model
I had the stratisphere toy but it was the one that didn't come with the optimus prime
Still a goated toy
I like the energon unicron the most so dw
I aint going to try to get the haslab unicron I am going to try to get the Studio 01 Cell
Wait till he heres about dr wu my favorite dr
subtly is ultra magnus
I do have to wonder why so many Transformers TH-camrs only talk about official products. there are so, so many good third-party toys that could have been mentioned in this video. 01-Studio Cell for example is in my opinion superior to Haslab Unicron in just about every way but size. and on the opposite end of the spectrum Dr. Wu has some surprisingly complex yet *tiny* transformers. DW-E23T Ultra Magnus is only about 3 inches tall for example, and the basic optimus without the armor is only about 2.5 inches
I just don't personally care about 3rd party products 🤷♂️ no hate for them. Some look cool, but no interest from me really
I’m just waiting for a 1:1 scale unicron toy
No. Tryptocon’s main opp is Metroplex
What about that new Hot Wheels G1 Oltimus prime?
Duuuude, that Soundwave looks wicked, i love soundwave
when you said big ol laser gun i was gonna say somethin until you said the actual name lol
you should have put some doctor wu figures in this video
I genuinely would love to see cityformers in core class scale
6:46 that plane is the same plane that deployed Bumblebee onto the field.
You should check out the micro transformers from Dr Wu.
Wasn't there also a massive robosen grimlock?
I love this guy. So dumb, yet so beautiful.
Check out dr wu’s mini transformers
The 3d printed red makes it look like the little decoy erasers
The biggest figure ever is optimus prime model kit
I have Stratosphere from Revenge of the Fallen
3:47 years later mechagodzilla city came to be
I am espicially sad at the death of core class because it is what got me into collecting as an adult, for a long while I thought of transformers as shitty cars and shittier action figures (I am a picky bitch on articulation and how it affects the mold) and had simple transformations when stacked against the goat that is rotf optimus, but when I picked up soundwave for $10 I was absolutely blown away, he looks good in every pose, his transformation is fun, and he is a nice pocket size to be a fidget. I would not be seeing this video if not for core class.
I actually have the haslab unicron.
you forgot about robosen grimlock
Should i watch more of your video
Unicron is caseoh
this guy deserves more fans
Dr wu makes minis
Blud can’t look at the camera
Headmasters vs Unicron
0:40 space jam 2 reference in 2024
