"You could've saved that money towards a house" On a house I'll never be able to afford? Ha. Give me Optimus Prime YESTERDAY. Also Transformers Prime is THE best iteration of Transformers.
@@dlizard04 No idea, you probably wouldnt. And even if you could, I doubt they'd get the okay to sell a toy ostensibly for kids, that turns into a Walther P38.
@@saphcalI still have my G1 Megatron still sealed in box. The box is a little damaged though. Toy itself, since it's still sealed, 10/10. The box, I'd give an 8/10. Megatron is the only G1 that I have that's still sealed. My friend has a G1 Jetfire, not sealed but, he's in perfect condition with absolutely no yellowing or paint chipping and the box is a perfect 10. If it was to be graded, since it's open, I can still see this being an easy 8 or higher.
My mother hated the old toys at first. But when she couldn’t figure out how to transform them and she saw how focused we were with them… she realized that they were 3D puzzles and always got them for us. The inner child in me love these new self transforming collectibles. But I prefer the old school joints where I can transform them. Oh and the cost of the old school as well 💁🏾♂️🤣😂😅
That's the whole point of a Transformer! They're three toys in one: a toy vehicle (or animal in some cases, like with Beast Wars), an action figure, and most inportantly, a puzzle!
I checked. its called the "Elite Optimus Prime Auto-converting Robot" and they're currently in stock........ I swear if I didn't have 2 weddings to go to at the end of the year, I'd buy this and never question my decision.
I'm old enough to have watched the original Transformers cartoon when it first came out. Transformers and He-Man and GI Joe, these were the toys of my childhood. Good memories.
The original transformers cartoon and the toys came out in 1984 and only ran for 3 years. That's 40 years....I keep tryna tell y'all Jordan is old. He is at a minimum 45. 🤨😅🤔
But are you old enough to remember Micronauts (Microman, outside of the US)? They preceded Transformers by a solid decade. They even had a big guy who transformed into a weird drill-tank-like-thing (Biotron). Lest anyone think they were competitors, they were both from Takara & Hasbro. With Micronauts, they advertised like crazy, but didn't work hard enough on a back-story. They learned a bit before releasing Transformers and did a better job with comic books and cartoons (but at the time I didn't know it was the same company, so thought it was a rip-off and never watched it).
I'm 41. The only thing I know about the Power Rangers is that they had a not-insignificant hand in getting my favorite show at the time, Sonic SatAM, cancelled. Fuck you.
Well the original transformers was back in 1984 so you wouldn't have been that old enough to know that as I was born in 1982. I was 2 years old when I was watching it. I wanted all the toys back then.
I'm only 30, but I grew up watching the original cartoon through re-runs, it was nostalgic enough that I went out of my way to get the dvd collection of the show and movie.
I left this comment, then saw yours: Me trying to figure out how he was watching the ORIGINAL Transformers on Saturday AM, when I’m twice his age and I WAS WATCHING the Original Transformers on Saturday AM...🤔
Beast Wars was on when I was young. I spent so much of my birthday and Christmas money on the toys. My mom brought a box of them over to give to my son, and I still remembered how to transform them after 20 years
I am obsessed with transformers. The first robosen one they released was the Optimus prime. The latest one was the Megatron. But in-between those two they released a Grimlock robot. For those who don't know he is a t rex figure from the original show. He was the leader of a group called the dinobots which consisted of 5 dinosaur themed transformers.
@@michaelbucher9001 Look if i had the money to just drop on these i probably would but id have to have the money and be making around 7k-8k a month, and right now i just am not.
@thomasfan0123 ohhh yeah, if I had a lot of money, then I would consider it, but even then, im not sure if I would because I like moving them in my hands and with these I cant
When I tell you that Transformers Prime was a huge part of my childhood, I mean it. To this day, I cannot think of any other leader who I respect and look up to more than that Optimus Prime.
That's not the OG Megatron. OG Megatron transforms into a gun. Starscream uses him to end A bunch of Autobots at the very beginning of the transformers movie. That blew my mind as a kid.
@@curbnug3487 American gun laws state that toys that resemble actual weapons cannot be legally manufactured or sold, unless they're painted in safety orange colors. That, and also the backlash to having a transformer that turns into a gun would be huge nowadays.
Also helps that rule of cool of transforming into a tank rather than a gun. I get the nostalgia, but given said rule of cool and being able to add more functionality to a tank means that the tank made more sense.
I was not expecting my first hyperfixation ever (literally, some of my earliest memories are of me watching the 1986 movie) and origin of my main special interest to show up on this channel, so I am SO hyped!
As a transformers fan from young back in the days of Transformers Cybertron this just put a smile on my face. Technically it did more than that. The amount of joy I have right now after seeing that words cannot describe. I am now 26 as of last week. I have never felt this much joy in a long long time. Are you kidding me?! OG Megatron who really wasn't a tank he was a gun but its still cool anyway and transforms itself? This trumps that one barricade action figure that I had that pops up when you rev the wheels, this is even better than the constructicons I got one Christmas. That was the last time I had this much joy
If you’re in your 20s Saturday morning cartoons with transformers we’re not around when you were young. For us in our 40s yes they were. Either way love you bro.
Depending on where you lived, independent TV stations would show reruns into the late 90's and they were on cable TV. I remember watching a line up of Dragon Warrior, G.I. Joe, Transformers, Visionaries, Thundercats and Silverhawks on Saturday mornings.
I commented: Me trying to figure out how he was watching the ORIGINAL Transformers on Saturday AM, when I’m twice his age and I WAS WATCHING the Original Transformers on Saturday AM...🤔
@@firesonic1010 Hasbro has been doing the most in recent years. At this point, I only get Star Wars Black Series 6 inch figures that interest me, and a few G.I. Joe Classified figures. I have just given up on Transformers. Hot Rod may be the only one I’d pay money for.
The megatron toy didn’t get anyone shot, stop the bull shit. They switched in gen 2 transformers because of all the rules for kids toys being certain colors etc if they resembled weapons.
I remember I used to have SO MANY Transformers toys, actually, I still have them. 75% of all my toys are Transformers. I don't play with them anymore and am planning to get rid of some but sometimes I randomly decide to try them out and it makes me nostalgic and makes me wish I were more grateful back then. Everytime my dad would buy me one he'd be like "This is the last one, you already have enough, after this you're not getting anymore. Understand?" But then as soon as I wanted another one he'd get it, ofc they're nothing special and not the super expensive ones like in the vid but they made me so happy back then just making them fight eachother. Good times!
The one you transform yourself were amazing. I loved the beast wars ones. I would play with one before bedtime, and over night my older brother would transform them back. I woke up thinking my Beast Wars toy coukd transform itself for like a month lol.
Im only still a teenager, yet I can still fully relate to the childhood memories of wanting a transformer that transforms on its own, although I never got one.
Like me and every other kid that had OG transformers never carried just the TF, in every ones back pocket were the instructions for showing how to transform. There were so many steps to the OG’s
This conversion of my interests was the last thing I expected, but one thing is for sure- I agree. Lets be broke together and follow Robosen Megatron to glory
Nice to see someone else who grew up watching G1. Even now, I can still confidently say ‘Transformers, The Movie’ is my favorite film bar none. If only they had one of these for Unicron though.
When I was younger i would go to other kids houses and figure out how to turn their transformers back into vehicles when they themselves had forgotten how. I love transforming those guys
I'm 47, as a kid transformers were simple to transformers. My son is 25, and when we went ti see transformers 1 in 07, we went to Walmart after to get a few things and of course he wanted Baricade from transformers, man I swear I needed a engineering degree to transform him
When I was a kid I would keep the transforming instructions in my pocket while we played. I'm lucky to have had friends patient enough to wait while I transformed my (and usually theirs) transformer so we could keep playing. It got to the point eventually where I didn't need the instructions unless I got a new one. I vividly remember wanting transformers that transformed themselves though, it's crazy that is actually a reality now.
This reminds me of the Christmas that my grandmother allowed me to play with my my step-cousins original Megatron for an afternoon before boxing it up. My folks were poor, and my step-grandfather had purchased it for him. Sad times. I’m a CPA now. I will own it one day.
My uncle got me into g1 when I was 4 and 13 years later my room is filled to the brim with them. Prime was just the role model I needed and I hope to be a va one day to inspire people like Peter Cullen as prime did for me.
Im the same age as jordan I watched the movies growing up and i loved my transformers toys especially AR-C or something like that (its the motorcycle transformer). But my cousins and i would play with them and pretend different scenarios it was so fun. Sometimes i wish i didn’t have to grow up.
