Are these a vast improvement? Let me know your 5 picks for the next EPISODE! :)

I skipped out on the original AOE fruity pebbles dinobots because of those bright colors. I was relieved when last knight gave us the dinobots in much more movie accurate colors. Then I grabbed them all for my collection

I think the reason blackout never got a leader class figure back in the day was because had to only made leader class figures of characters they knew people would buy

[JJPrimeReviews]

Yeah, as a whole, the Studio Series figures have mostly obliterated the original figures in terms of engineering and the accuracy. This is an awesome video, PVP! Keep up the great work!

For me, I’d actually appreciate a vehicle mode comparison because sometimes that makes my decision for what I’m getting a lot of the times 🤷🏾‍♂️

I bought the original iron hide back when it came out. But when I took it out of box I immediately fell into pieces. Dotm in real life.

Fun Fact about Transformers (07). Starscream's final head design was actually Megatron's first head design!

The Studio Series Blackout is absolutely gorgeous. It’s a crime that it took them so long to make a good figure, I mean seriously, he was the first Bayverse Transformer that we actually see in the movie.

Since they're doing a lot of RotF figures like Sideswipe and Grindor, I hope we get an RotF Ironhide soon, with SS Ironhide being over $100 on the aftermarket.

To this day I still believe SS Grimlock is the best looking and most accurate of the Studio Series line with Blackout being a very close 2nd.

It's also because of these 2 figures that got me into Studio Series in the first place. When I first saw Grimlock my first reaction was "wtf? these figures look just like the Transformers from the movie, they dont even look like kids toys".

At this point Beast Machines figures were the last Transformers I had collected before I got back into it with Studio Series, so its been about a 20 year gap lol

To this day I still hold the two initial Leader Classes (Blackout, Grimlock) as the gold standard of SS figures. Chock-full of details, excellent balance between the modes, and of course, big chonky units of a bot.

Save for Grindor (a retool and strict improvement over the former), the Bee Prime, and the '86 Hot Rod, I don't think any of the other SS figures ever attained to that height. Devastator is a pure feat of engineering in its own way, but... just not quite there overall speaking.

I’d like to see bonecrusher brawl barricade jazz (wait this line up seems familiar) and since I haven’t seen many of em drift?

[autobotzapof]

NGL this would be a good series. And that grimlock actually surprises me.

[trompimusprime]

6:26 actually, they designed that toy mainly for kids, and the leader was meant to be the collectors item. With this in mind, you can actually just grip it in place while you move it and no damage is done. I have had both the MB and the original for well over two years and the gears still work just fine.

starscreams looks like he’s based off the IDW movie comic

[kingnewcomer]

Another stellar review, PVP! 😃 I’d say I agree that while the original figures may be better in certain aspects, the newer Studio Series figures are vastly superior! I’m really loving this new take on you comparing the older Michael Bay Transformers figures to the recent Studio Series versions, and seeing which one is truly the better representation of the live-action films, and would love to see you continue this style in future videos! I even have some ideas of my own like Sentinel Prime, Jolt, ROTF Soundwave, DOTM Jetfire, and DOTM Megatron! Look forward to the next video! 👍 Keep up the awesome work! 👏

[clockwork]

I think this series could be even cooler if you went through all the figures you have for that character to date. So for starscream it would have been nice to see the rotf voyager and dotm deluxe in your comparisons for your thoughts of what is truly the best.

[bahrahfahofficial]

Nobody ever noticed but on the original '07 Starscream, you can slot the missiles into his arm-holsters to evoke the look of the null-ray cannons.

At least that's how I view it.

[snipetysniper]

Nuclear take: The ROTF Voyager would have been a way better mould to use as a starting point for Studio Series Starscream than the dotm deluxe

[NoGoodDirtyRicer]

I do think it’s worth adding an alt mode comparison in future parts of this series.

It really would help explore the differences in the engineering between, for example, a Starscream made now and one made back in ‘07.
