🤔 …I’d rather get the Jinbao’s Predaking and Bruticus to my son for almost half the price and for the same price include Devastator with the upgrade kit!!! 👍🏼
@@johnj.doublej8721 Half? More like 1/10 the price lol. The Jinbao oversized pieces are like $150 each, maybe $200 massively overpaying on the aftermarket. You could buy all three of the ones you listed and probably add in the Zetatoys Superion and it'd STILL be slightly cheaper than the full set of FT Superion. I'm sure FT has some great materials and build but their prices are pretty bonkers.
Oh Boo! I thought this was Live stream lol. I was gonna comment "HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER.!" from SF2 lol. Even though i was never in on this set nor the FT Stunticons set anymore,im just glad to finally see it all come together.👍
Glad to finally have my full Ethereaon set completed, and what a trip it's been these last 5 / 6 years with FansToys. Thanks to TMR for sticking with this (and us) on the journey to FT's first completed combiner, and now bring on Maurader!
I know you didn’t want to do the full bot transformations into each combine mode but I’m so glad you did. As always you’ve done an incredible service for the community
As someone who has been tempted to get FT aerialbots multiple times over the years this set took to be completed, i'm just happy those that got him are finally able to close this chapter fully. I will say it's a bit uninteresting that Silverbolt does nothing for the combiner, having him just fold into a block and store in the combiner body's chest feels a little cheap imo. Great looking set though!
Yeah but realistically there wasn't much Silverbolt can do since he needs to be way bigger to be the torso and legs. With combiner major compromise needs to be taken
@@brianpavlina8638 MMC only does combiners that don't parts-form? So no MMC's combiner leaders do not "turn into a box and get put into the back of the combiner". If you're going to give a rebuttal at least check your facts first. Also it's my opinion? I don't like zeta's and dx9's combiners because they did exactly that, so why would FT garner a different opinion from me? It's completely lazy engineering in my eyes, and if the only way to get that perfect cartoon aesthetic is to completely forego creativity and function, then I personally don't think it's worth it. I might as well buy a hollowed out figure that looks like superion and fit the aerialbots within the space of the husk like a jigsaw puzzle.
@@bujindork this is true, I just wished they could have done more with their silverbolt that didn't end up with him turning into a cube just to slot into the combiner piece. At least make him become a jetpack or something interesting. That's my personal take on it at least. Oh well not really something i'll lose sleep over, FT priced me out of this set a long time ago since I didn't get on board when the first release happened. The reissues were priced higher than I could justify so I just sat this one out
I'm really impressed by the feet and knee articulation, but disappointed in the shoulders'. Overall, it's definitely an impressive, first Combiner from FansToys for sure.
I gotta say, using the limb bots heads in the combined mode is a really nice throwback to the original gestaltz from the 80s. There really are a ton of great options for the Aerialbots with Fanstoys, Zeta and the Dreamstar if you want a really stylized one. Not even mentioning all the legends scales or mini versions. I really wish we could get a little love for Defensor and Computron.
Wow, looks amazing! But goodness gracious, can't afford this. Have to wait for Hasbro/Takara version in the next couple of years. If it's anything like the Menasor they did, I'll be very satisfied.
Side by Side with Zeta Superion. I do like the Zeta, BUT agree the FT is Superior. FT definitely has that HEROIC Look, wide chest and shoulders. Be curious if Zeta could rework their Parts Forming Chest and do likewise, along with some metallic paint to up the WoW! Factor, and it could easily Run with FT. The Metallic Bruticus is nice. Real Nice looking and looks great beside the FT Superion. Thanks for the Review. Spot on.
I'll stick with Zeta for Superion but these are great looking bots, so they'll be my Aerialbots for sure! Going opposite for Menasor though (FT Ox Menasor all the way), DX9 for bots... youth version Xtransbots for cars 😅
Really good review. I will say that I think Superion is one of the smaller more slinder combiners. So I would have to disagree that zeta is undersized. I think the size on this one works as well for displaying in combined mode. Thanks again!!
Great review! I noticed you skipped the FansToys Jester review. Are you going back to do it at some point, including a comparison video between Jester and Zeta Toys Catapult?
Awesome video! One thing i noticed. You forgot to show the leg collapse at the hips for jester. You didn't have his hips extended for robot mode at the start so I was racking my brain trying to figure out why the intakes were not lining up with the tabs and that was why.
I expected Air Raid to be the weakest link... I wasn't super happy with the toy. The robot portions were fine, but the kibbly backpack is just EXTREMELY fidgety, and from this review it seems even worse in combined mode. Maybe Fans Toys can give us a redo for this character... I mean, I own both of their Seasprays. :D The stability doesn't seem too bad all things considered... Anyway, I ultimately bought this set because I liked the individual toys so much... Not a huge fan of the parts forming, but it's not too bad here, and now I'm just waiting for Slingshot. I'm preferring the MMC approach _overall_ at this point. Especially since the latest reissues for the Assaultus set have fixed the stability issues (I have the latest reissue and even with my cats semi regularly brushing against it, it hasn't fallen or significantly changed its stance/pose). But I digress. And finally... I suspect Menasor will turn out better... Because so far, I've been pretty happy with ALL the Fans Toys stunticons released so far... (other than Motor Master's tendency to get stress marks with the tabs needed to put the trailer together)
Yeah air raid is definitely the weakest, but it still works as a limb, Stability isn't an issue, just balance with the weight, I tried for some crazy poses and couldn't achieve them but normal poses work fine,
It looks damn cool but I'm on the fence honestly. I've been collecting the MMC Combaticons and Protectabots and I know they'll scale smaller than these so I'm not sure if I should wait in case MMC does their own version or not.
Do you have any tips for removing the foot parts from the leg bots? I missed the step about collapsing that slider part between the legs on Skydive/Goose and pegged the foot into the front first and can not to save my life get those two pegs to come back out so I can go back and redo things properly.
Are people really saying he's too tall? People just say anything. 😂 He's the same height as the zeta basically. They're height difference is not substantial at all.
@@klinikle5445no you want live go watch Paik and see how horrible it was for him to do it. Rather have a reviewer have a properly edited video and review
Def need rubber on the feet, i expect to see sad pictures of this guy on the ground broken. Def doesnt look stable to me. Looks good but nt stable. Also its funny how eta/toyworld created the standard for combiners and now we are calling them small? Seems off to me. I dont remember superion every giving off that bulky vibe in the cartoons. I feel the checst is too buly an dnot proportional IMO
Not really a fan of this partsforming the entire torso. Not really a true combiner, but I guess it comes down to stability issues. Still, just make Silverbolt bigger and have stronger connections.
@@TMReviews You can look back to the 80s, where combiners do combine without extra torsos. And more recently the Combiner Wars made combiners without extra torsos. So... the engineering is there, they only need to improve it to an MP level.

I will agree on the VS being his original idea, I have credited him with the idea but I have made it my own, i certainly have no intent on ripping him off. That would mean I copied him and he hasn't even done the video yet

What about now?

You put so much work into this video. Thank you bro! Really appreciate this! I have 3 of the bots just need the combiner parts and maverick.
Cannot wait for mine to arrive. Excellent review buddy!
are u gonna do a review of it mitch santona the legend
I love the sound of transforming a FT figure
It gives me crazy anxiety hearing all those parts creaking. It also sounds like these guys on TH-cam are seconds away from breaking something.
The gun use as a pole to Maverick flight stand is very clever

Yeah but realistically there wasn't much Silverbolt can do since he needs to be way bigger to be the torso and legs. With combiner major compromise needs to be taken
All other MP combiners have the leader bot fold into a box too & put into back of combiner. So, FT is no different than XTB, DX9 & MMC.

Looks awesome. Can't wait for the comparison. Thanks
Looks great! Definitely in consideration. But may just wait for devastator which will come out 10 years from now

Great review, and transformation guide, my copy of Jester is due today, can’t wait to mess with this
It looks solid. So the question about stability is answered. I may never own it but it is sweet looking.
Great review but I’m sticking with my zeta superion. And the best part i got the zeta on sale before for 199 for the set.
Wow, $199? I scored the metallic version at TF Source for $330 or $350, can't recall, but thought that was a great price.
This is so awesome! Can’t wait !!!!!! And thanks again for the great review 👍
I love how they’re named after the Top Gun characters
Am opening mine right now. Let's fucking go!

Although mine is otw…
But I will keeping Zeta as combiner mode, due to no extra $ for another set of FT…😢
I’m surprised how much cooler zeta’s looks. Since I’m not bogged down by accuracy it just looks like a much cooler bot.
I heard you werent feeling too well when filming this, hope you feel better soon.
Thanks, still sick but doing ok
Feel better sir. Thank you for the review while under the weather. We appreciate it

Any plans for a Gigapower Dinos vs FT Dinos style comparison for this and Zeta? Where you compare each bot and alt mode?.

Get a spudger and wedge it in between
Worried about any paint scathing on figures when combining or articulating after combined?
I have combined 3 times with no issues but I was also careful
Fanstatic
i will my sillver bolt out and order a exrta big gun from fans toys and about 12 extra cristals for the scout casste
How tall is superion once combined?
How does it compare size wise to combiner wars Devastator? Great review by the way.
Taller by about 4 inches
@@MADDSONN thank you
Thanks, yeah this is way taller than combiner wars Devy

Cant find him anywhere, only preorder :/
Do all the jets
I plan to
Waited how many years for this? This is bad comedy 😂
Nice
Comment make algorithm go BRRRRR
it sound like it going to break every time you move him Yike
Why can't Takara make combiners like this?
Wouldn’t take them 5 years I’ll tell you that 🤷🏽♂️
Oh please! Not the Generations Legacy Aerialbots!
Wow this superion comes with helm on.. The only this i love superion is his helm .. Not his mouth,.
