FAQ:
1- Where do you get your figures?
Everywhere. Literally everywhere. Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, Antique Malls, Thrift Stores, Flea Markets, eBay, Amazon, Facebook, Online Forums, Friends, etc. This video details the answer. • FAQ- Where Do I Find/B...
2- Can you review __? Can you make a ___ video?
I do appreciate requests, suggestions, and video ideas, however, I get so many that it's impossible for me to keep track of them. It's okay to ask, but I may not be able to get around to it.
3- Can I have ___?
I do not and will not sell or give parts of my collection to those who simply ask for something in the comments of one of my videos.
4- Can you check out my channel?
Sure. I tend to check out people's channels if they're active on the channel, or seem like they may be interesting. However, I'm very picky on what I subscribe to, and I just don't watch every kind of video just because someone asked me to. Same goes for shout-outs, I cannot fairly shout-out somebody for no reason other than they asked, it would be unfair to anyone else who were to ask and I would be unable to do so. A shoutout from me will not gain you much viewership or subscribers.

I'm noticing a pattern with new Hasbro releases (at least for Transformers). Hasbro seems so scared to fully commit to their new lines. R.E.D and Studio Series Gamer Edition have both had incredibly weak additions, but there was so much potential if Hasbro has only committed time and resources to these lines to make them the best that they could be.
red had the problem that none of the figures where that much better then the once that could transform, thus no one boght these.
Shit rubbery plastic that’s fragile and deforms just from standing, often innacurate sculpts to what they were meant to convey, articulation that was actually worse than the transforming variants that often times were only a couple bucks more, and an officially licensed direct competitor in the form to ultimates/Super 7.
R.E.D. was dead before it even hit the shelves, even the best figure of the line, Knockout, was still shit in various ways. It was a waste of money because Hasbro wouldn’t invest in it even slightly.
Oh totally, just look at how they're handling the earthspark toys..
back then they used to go all out for their newest cartoon toylines to draw in new fans into the franchise, but it feels like nowadays they'd rather play it safe and put their bets on the collector's driven lines to bank on their existing fanbase.

That's the most frustrating thing, actually. While I personally don't like the show (Let's be honest, the writing and acting is not great) the toys legitimately had great potential. I like the Megatron design, I like Twitch's design, I was legitimately hoping to get a figure of our first proper Dadimus Prime in god knows how long... But the toys are almost the price of a modern deluxe while being thin, cheap, and in many cases actually break themselves with how tight many of the ball and socket joints are due to that stupid rough/lumpy ball design they've been going with lately that legitimately shortens the life of their joints.
Hasbro used to constantly bring in new and old fans alike with previous entries, but now it seems like they don't care if they bring in anyone new because they can milk the old fans. Sure, now that they're catering more to other eras like the Unicron Trilogy, Animated, and even Rescue Bots they're going to be getting some more attention from previously-abandoned fans, but down the line what are they going to do when they die or move on? They're putting out cheap garbage for the next generation where the only toy I felt was actually work keeping in Earthspark was Bumblebee. The quality is awful and the figures are not anything I see putting a positive impression on new kids, especially when just transforming Twitch was enough to put stress marks on her.
Hasbro needs to be thinking ahead, here. Sure, pandering to the existing fans is fine, obviously I'm happy as can be seeing my childhood series, Armada, get some recognition, but if you don't continually renew that spark with characters in a good show with good toys then kids won't care. And even if Kids did like Armada Optimus just from how he looks it's not like they'd get the chance to own him given how stupidly hard to come by he was even at release due to, again, Hasbro mucking it up with poor distribution. Everything is going to form the perfect storm of Hasbro screwing themselves if they don't get it together here.
There's a leak image of RED Grimlock but honestly Yolopark does the "Non-tranforming" transformers figures better than Hasbro's. And their almost at the same price point too. Can't wait for their Mirage and TLK Optimus Prime
I'm all-in on Yolopark's AMK line, especially as long as they keep sending me review samples! lmao
It’s nice to see a fellow transformers prime fan, I’m someone who isn’t very versed in transformers wider lore or any of that, but I must say when I was growing up it wasn’t the movies which made me enjoy transformers in some sort of media, it was transformers prime. I loved watching it growing up and when I would play with my Lego back in the day and line up my Lego bricks as soldiers, my main influences were from Star Wars, and transformers prime. I’m thinking about rewatching the show sometime as it’s been a few years since I’ve watched it.
It's free to watch on TH-cam, so go ahead!
I got the r.e.d megatron at a comic con I was so excited for it and then when I opened it, I was so confused as to why hasbro decided to make the joints out of rubber... just why? It still looks good on my shelf though
I thought ab these figures but seeing they were made of soft plastic absolutely killed them for me. I've been Yolopark-pilled since September, as a college student they're just far more affordable than even Hasbro's official transforming figures (like I am not paying $60+ for leader Primal when he is a voyager +), let alone ten times more accurate, posable, and larger too. Plus it was very fun to paint them, I got two ROTB Primes and repainted one as my own version of Nemesis with a black and rose gold color scheme, def plan on making a Cliffjumper or Stinger whenever I can get another Bumblebee. Beyond hyped to get wave 2
Nah red sucks, it breaks so easily, bad plastic, they should've committed to detailed show accurate figures who can't transform
Whether or not r.e.d is dead I personally feel that if they didn’t come out that we wouldn’t have gotten the yolopark model kits, hopefully if they continue to do well they’ll do tfp yolopark kits
A YoloPark line of Prime figures would be so fantastic, while I love having figures I can switch back and forth between modes I feel like we can all agree that the Prime designs are some of the sleekest robot mode designs that will shine the best in the form of hyper-articulated action figures. Plus, scale will be able to be more focused upon instead of engineering.
I desperately need a show-accurate Knockout and Breakdown, those two are to Prime what Ransack and Crumplezone were to Cybertron. They're absolutely inseparable and the best duo in their respective shows.
With the existence of Yolopark, ThreeZero, and MDLX, R.E.D. has no place anymore. Especially with that gummy plastic. I own the Shockwave, Soundwave, and Starscream, the 'waves are only good cause they lack the horrible plastic. They're all pretty accurate, but they're strange, the more square the design though, the better the joints.
These are cool but they really needed a lot more work. Prime Starscream got leaked last year but I don't think he'll ever see the light of day.
The dark enrgion on the sword Is from that episode were Megatron awakens unicron
😂 when you started doing the deception music I recognised it straight away! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I totally would’ve done the same if I had a prime megs figure
I❤ this series. Especially Shockwave and Galvatron.
so glad I watched a video on these before I picked up either, the optimus is still a maybe but I think imma pass on that megatron especially after you figured out how that shoulder works
This is the perfect line for McFarlane to take over as part of the deal with Hasbro.
r.e.d might still be alive cause i do remember seeing leaked images for a r.e.d grimlock not too long ago so maybe that might come out soon (or it was a fake leak idk)
R.E.D. Dead Redemption
I will make that joke if they have new releases that genuinely redeem the line and I will give you credit lol
Pretty good a little custom paint will definitely go a long way. Would I preferred the come with the star sabers? Yes. Are they still good? Also yes.
I haven't seen a single RED figure in a store to this day 🤔
R.E.D. just feels like a line that is hard to justify its existence when most of the character options they went for have better transforming options on the market. And even if you're someone who's into non-transforming figures, there are better (albeit usually more expensive) options for those too.

While I love that Action Master got a spiritual successor in R.E.D., I don't think it could have lasted long even if it was popular. Mainly because, at least who I've talked to, the idea of "Transformers that don't transform" isn't that popular.
I got RED Prime OP for Xmas as a treat from myself, I enjoy him immensely, but as with yours his stacks are a little wonky!
I've repainted my Arcee. Her face was miss printed so I had the idea to do it xd In a perfect world they would just relase how it looked in the prototype.
Officially, Encore isn't dead either, it's just that nothing has been released since that disastrous Car Robots Omega Prime release of years past
If R.E.D is ''dead''. That that'll be a shame because they could've done some great stuff with a non-transformable line, take Yolopark for example. They're NAILING the non-transforming aspect of the franchise. Soooo i just wish Hasbro put more love and attention into making the newer R.E.D figures. At this point, i hope Yolopark approaches the Prime designs after ROTB and future ones. Because i KNOW they would absolutely make an AMAZING TF:P Prime and Megatron!
Prime Starscream and Grimlock will be the last RED figures
I had the highest of hopes for the RED figures, because I like 6" action figures. What we got has been hit and miss, mostly miss, since the jump. Gummy plastic or lack of paint or weird scaling issues... clearly budgets were cut... plus they put out RED figs like Primal, Cheetor and Coronation Starscream while their WFC/Kingdom figures are on adjacent pegs. Any strengths the line had, and there weren't many, were overshadowed by actual transforming counterparts. I did like their G1 Prime and Megs as figs I can have on my desk at work, pose them up now and then... the TFPrime guys here will get a similar treatment.
I super duper reccomend that gundam epyon. Its amazing. Most solid RG ive built. I know youll have so much fun with it+
I finally finished it a couple days ago, it's INCREDIBLE, I dunno if it's my fave RG cuz Hi Nu gundam exists, but its certainly up there for me!
I completely agree with your opinion on Prime Megatron being the best design for Megatron. Although the transformers: Prime Cyberverse Commander Megatron is the best version of Megatron due to the fact of not having a backpack lol
The only one I kept was R.E.D G1 Shockwave which I really love the look of, looks right out of the animation
This line died when they decided to make all characters the same size so they could charge the same, so it was dead in the craddle
I personally love R.E.D. because they're the only line that gives you super accurate renditions of Prime and Megatron under Voyager price point and come with a nice bit of accessories.
And I don't think R.E.D is dead because we're still getting Starscream and G1 Grimlock.
Yeah the line wasn't has popular so they probably stop selling them but I do enjoy them I use to have them all but I'll try to get them again mostly for prime ones bumblebee G1 and beast wars ones to
I got the R.E.D. G1 Optimus, Megatron, and Bumblebee. At the moment, they're the best screen accurate looking figures you can get, but I hate that they're rubber, and not a solid plastic. They're definitely going to start flaking, peeling, and fall apart in a few years, I can already tell...
It was always bad so I’m glad to see it might be going away.
Hoping they can put the resources into something else, big big big hope lol.
the silver paint is supposed to be on Optimus' shins not his knees smh
I'm not too heart broken about R.E.D's discontinuation. My first introduction into the line was Arcee, and that figure was beyond plagued with flaws and dodgy articulation. Watching you struggle to get Megatron into a simple pose sums up the entire line. Looks cool, but handles like a wet noodle
I don’t know what’s up with Hasbro QC lately. I ordered some Gi Joe figures from a Walmart sale and my Baroness’s arm immediately snapped and my Destro had two left thigh pieces and stress marks at the drop down joint. Not to mention how many people’s DnD figures broke. I used to think Hasbro figures were really reliable, but lately I’ve had to treat them like they’re Neca figures.
I kinda want to get 2 of the red prime optimus figures to be decepticon and autobot orian pax, because of the removable matrix and optional heads.
they also put the purple paint onto the thighs instead of the cannon. why.
I only picked up R.E.D Prime Optimus Prime.
Hasbro should license out the Action Master But Bigger figures instead of trying to do them cheaply in house. RED was never good. I hear McFarland makes some good figures….
I can tell you, the RED line is terrible. I was fortunate enough to get the Prime megatron and Prime optimus. I was so excited for those figures, i mean after 10 years Hasbro was doing TFP related merchandise again. And then I got the figure... Joints are soft pvc material, which feels horrible but has a terrible quality as well I lifted up megatrons arm to get him into his shooting pose like he does on the promotional images for this figure and the arm just snapped. I can tell you that the inside of the arm socket is a cross shape while the arm connector pieces is round shaped meaning that you have these clicks as you move the arms which makes posing him a pain in the a$$. The sculpt however is really good, I mean look at the show and how impossible these designs are to replicate into toy form and you got a solid action figure. Im just hoping that a 3rd party company will remake these eventually. But for now i'd stick with Yolopark and hope that they will eventually make TFP figures, i mean how awesome would that be? With the recent release of the Iron warrior, which is also not the best. Yolopark would absolutley kill it. But unfortunately for us, Hasbro is the one doing the TFP figures now and its unlikely they will give the permission to yolopark to make their own figures as they are certain to sell better in every way, and Hasbro probably won't allow that.
I can’t find Megatron every he is 200 plus and I’m not paying that 😅
Thankfully no. R.E.D is growing strong with the Upcoming Grimlock.
these figures feel like they are twisting the articulation joint, rather than the articulation joint twisting the arm. (what im saying is, the way you are twisting it feels like you are stressing the plastic rather than how its meant to twist)
will there be a video about the new yolopark model kits?
Absolutely, I should receive them tomorrow!!
That legacy knockout is an insult I tell you.
To me, the gummy plastic isn't the issue, it's the poor design of the joints. Marvel Legends and SW Black Series feel just fine but R.E.D. figures are a bad move away from exploding, it's depressing.
Why go for R.E.D when we have yolopark.
I actually have the G1 Optimus and Soundwave, BW Optimus Primal and Prime Arcee. I too also am an Optimus horder lol check my channel for proof lol but i do agree IW Optimus is the best show accurate representation out right now i do know that they did have a mold for Megs a while ago. I use showz or sideshow for most of my high dollar primes. Hopefully IW will release all the bots
J4 I wasn’t to interested in the line. Because they didn’t look that good to me
They should have focused on non transforming transformers characters. I would have bought a transmutate and abunch of quintason goons!
I don't think RED toys look good enough to justice the fact they don't transform, they end up looking cheaper then the actual transforming toys but aren't that cheap, if they used the money they save from not desiging all the transformations and all the limtions of having a transformation they would be a lot better
Ive been searching for an R.E.D Megatron for some custom work on my end and I can't find a single one ANYWHERE! Anyone got a hook up? lol
With the shoulder problem I wouldn't even recommend it honestly.
@@Jcc2224 Sadly it’s still the most accurate TFP Megatron. Waiting on Iron Warrior to make theirs but it will take a long while still. For some reason this is the only R.E.D TFP figure that’s hard to find. I’d pay handsomely for yours if you don’t want it ;3
I don't like how the red figures are soft plastic just no
Man, i never realized how terrible a design the prime matrix is
Were these two even released in stores? I’ve never found them in stores or online
Me neither. I think they were to a very limited extent, but I've only seen them on Pulse, BBTS, and a comic shop that had them for like 50 each... lol
The
