 and may not be suitable for children under 13 years of age viewer discretion is advised hey what's going on guys patreon here once again with another live video and yes i'm still sick fortunately the sore throat has kind of left but my sinuses have opened up like the freaking Niagara Falls so i've been snotting and snorting all day but i'm getting better so welcome to my well yeah this is probably gonna be my last live show for 2021 uh what a wild year this has been been great for the channel hit 10 000 subs uh went to tfcon met a lot of fellow youtubers a lot of good friends you know it's been a it's been a good year as far as being a collector and we've had some great figures come out and uh so per i guess it's the youtuber rule is we always put out at the end of the year our top 10 list of figures now my top 10 list is going to be figures that i've purchased this year not necessarily that they've been released this year but ones that i purchased so there may be a g1 in here or something from way down the line and just for some extra added fun i'm also going to add in my top five disappointing figures of the year it's not that these figures are bad they're just not what i was expecting so everybody in the chat we got 13 people watching that's my lucky number i was born on a third friday of the 13th love it jason wade cox fits 19 iaconis galvatron 86 who have i missed daniel maynard your wreck gar was a good one so keep in mind too that all of these it's my opinion so don't be offended if i pick something that you didn't like you didn't think was great it's part of the fun and that's why i wanted to do it live because i think it'd be neat when okay i pull out a figure okay this is one of my top 10 disappointments and then you in the chat tell me why it's your favorite or something like that so i think it was a really cool way to do this and what i might do also tomorrow if i'm feeling a little bit better is film a regular top 10 list of these figures and put it out there just as a regular video all right so we got about 15 people in the chat or 15 people watching so if you want to we'll go ahead and get started with my top five disappointments of 2021 and like i said it's not that they're bad figures i was just expecting a little bit more and number five for my top five disappointments is the arc here now as i said this isn't a bad figure but compared to the other titans he just doesn't have that playability he's got a great robot mode i wish he came with a gun or something he's got all kinds of little guns all over him but it would have benefited if he could have rotated these around you know that i think that would have been really really cool it's his alt mode that kills me yes it's the arc it's so cool to have the arc but mine it won't stay together you try to fly around you know try to display it and it just cracks right down the middle you got these two damn triangle pieces that always pop off so i mean like i said it's a decent figure but i was expecting more especially when you look at scorponok and metroplex and omega supreme great robot mode a great alt mode that you could actually interact with and then you got the arc great robot mode and it's a spaceship that falls apart on you so there is my number five disappointment number four disappointment this may hurt some of you guys dinobot now before you start throwing things at your monitor listen to me i love dinobots robot mode it is dead on to how he looked in the cartoon his raptor mode kills me first off he has no front teeth whatsoever and what is up with this look in in dino mode i hate that robot mode is fantastic but he's disappointing for me for the raptor mode and that's pretty much all there is to say about dinobots next up you know how hard it was to display all of these figures without you seeing them so i got stuff all over the place here uh what is next oh number three and i think number three will be on a lot of people's lists kingdom rhinox this i don't know this figure they should have just re-released the thrilling 30 rhinox because that was such a better figure than this guy this one doesn't really look like he did in the cartoon and the weapons suck they look like little pizza cutters when you first got them now mine has the larkin layer upgrade kits on which greatly enhances the weapons but still doesn't do much for the figure and this is one of the worst transformations that i think we have got this year i just i hated his transformation it sucked it just really sucked so there's my number three rhinox and keeping with the kingdom line another figure that i was really looking forward to and when i got him i was really disappointed because he just didn't look anything like he did in the cartoon because he was one of my favorite characters and that's beast wars scorponok i think they just fumbled the ball with this guy first off he looks nothing like he did in the cartoon he's got these horrible little shop of horror claws i don't understand why put the teeth in the claws like that the transformation you know you got the feet sticking out in weird places and you just balance it i mean they can't even hold himself up on these legs the insect legs have no articulation whatsoever and i don't know this is one of the ones i was really really looking forward to and once i got him i was like man this guy sucks so that's my number two scorponok and i am pretty sure if you follow my channel if you follow the sit rep you know what my number one disappointing figure was for 2021 and that's kingdom tracks i love tracks i've always loved tracks great character great toy one of my favorite g1 toys couldn't wait to get this guy and getting him out of the box when i first got him he was missing a wheel which automatically pissed me off and then he just has a horrible transformation the robot mode looks great the leg transformation i mean the way the feet i mean look at that that sucks now i know like larkin and burt you know they got that uh fixed where you can squeeze these legs together but still doesn't really help that much with the transformation in the way that looks i just think that looks terrible and when you transform into car mode the hood does not stay together and what's funny i actually have the toy hacks decals for him so i'm hoping maybe i can tweak something to make him look a little bit better but this this figure right here just that is my number one disappointment of 2021 hey let me see here before we get into the top 10 favorites he had the worst luck with has to i did i had a super megatron had two right treads warpath who almost made the list he came with a flawed pin that wasn't pushed in all the way what else happened oh i had the 10th anniversary megatron break on me so yeah i had a terrible time with has to has has to ask excuse me i can't talk i've got lots of cold medicine to me right now so it might make it may get interesting as we go on especially you know cheers so with 33 people watching right now maybe it's time to get in the top 10 and excuse me one second i'm going to turn my air conditioner on it is freaking what december 30th here in west virginia and it is 60 degrees outside what the hell oh jason wade cox with a super chat jason thank you so much let's see what shall we give jason i know one of one of our favorites this is the new one here you go jay thank you oh dear jesus ah i was hoping to have the air conditioner on before before that stopped oh this is gonna feel a lot better uh 80 here in florida we got tracks as probably a lot of these figures are fixable kind of but still these transformations and i don't know what it was with kingdom and the freaking leg transformations warpath had a horrible leg transformation rhinox had a horrible leg transformation tracks had a horrible leg transformation am i going to get the battle cross time two packs i haven't yet but they're still available so i i may i don't know do i have a star convoy generation select i do not i never did get that one i i missed out on him okay so let's get into my top 10 i know that's what we're all here for as i said if you're coming in late these top 10 figures are not figures that came out this year but they're 10 figures that i bought this year and starting off with number 10 which makes up for kingdom scorponok is the transform element stinger warrior they knocked it out of the park with this little figure he is cartoon accurate he is die cast metal he i mean he looks great awesome posibility the legs height up in the back so much better than this guy here and look at the hollow bits notice no hollow bits on this guy so yeah they they killed it with this guy and i think he was only like 40 bucks he's just an awesome looking figure he's got the removable missiles or no no take it back the missiles aren't removable but you can collapse them up in his pincher so you don't see him so that is really really cool and oh hey michael d hit me with a super sticker michael thank you so much what shall we give you well let's get this i know uh this one's always popular with everybody was some are you still going to review the i'm still toy hacks in the arc he is currently in the process of being toy hacks the uh the toy hacks came in and how these other figures come in so i'm working on it so january i really don't have any new figures at all coming in january so probably a lot of toy hacks and maybe i'm going to get some more g ones in front of the camera i really want to get the combatic on shot all right so that was number nine so oh elites just want to say thank you for being an inspiration elites thank you so much i appreciate it let's see elites what shall i give you there we go the one that started it all oh am i planning on getting blaster if i can get one yeah well yes by all means i want to i want to get a blaster i have him pre-ordered but the pre-order says april but i know he's hitting shelves now so who knows i know that he's being found in targets now i don't have a target but we'll see um what else was gonna say oh if you saw my a little short video i posted earlier not only are they releasing blaster as the last of the kingdom line they're gonna re-release him in the legacy line so if you're gonna miss out on him you'll be able to pick him up once again which i think is pretty cool blaster and uh galvatron all right so speaking of galvatron my number nine top 10 figure of the year i can get him here is energon galvatron i found this guy on mccarrie for a steal the guy said hey i'm selling cheap he's complete the electronics don't work i was able to take the battery compartment apart poured a little uh apple cider vinegar in there clean the terminals and he works like a charm i don't have a battery in it right now i never keep batteries in my figures but this is an awesome figure it's big it's beefy it's solid they do not make figures like this anymore i mean he's got tons of articulation very g1 looking i remember when was it energon megatron came out it was this figure but done up in white and everybody back in the infant days of the internet are like hey and why didn't they just make that galvatron and lo and behold they recolored him and there he is as galvatron uh one complaint i had with this figure he has a sword i don't think i don't know if i can get it out or not yeah he's got a sword that attaches to the tank so he can wield the sword like so or flip it around like this but all they had to do was add a peg and he could hold it in his hand and the peg wouldn't have interfered at all with the way the sword goes in here because it goes in deep enough and the way it transforms it wouldn't have gotten away so man i wish they had a peg for the sword but other than that great figure heavy duty figure easy transformation bad-ass looking the ship mode and yeah i love this guy this is an awesome awesome transformer so that was my number nine i can feel the sweat rolling down my forehead freaking 30th of december all right next up uh number eight i put number eight on here an hour ago i have this list ready to go looking through the collection pulling these figures down i thought oh i forgot about that guy and he's got to be on the list because he's so awesome and i blame bert to stormtrooper for this this is my g1 reproduction browning figure this is a ko might as well say it's a ko of the generation one browning figure that was never released here in the states now finding an original browning will cost you a small fortune but this ko if you saw my review this is a damn near perfect figure it's got the die cast metal it's got the chrome it's got the ratchet joints it has the firing mechanism when he turns into the gun this is a beautiful figure and look at the chrome look how he catches the light i love this guy he is so much fun yeah especially when you pop in one of the little bullets and fire it into wheelie if you have to yeah this is a really really cool figure and my number eight number seven i know some of you people may be like why is this guy so low on my list but i have my reasons number seven is kingdom rodimus prime this is a great rodimus prime figure i love the robot mode i love the vehicle mode i like how rodimus looks in hot rod mode as i call it was just in car mode but what knocks him down on the list for me is the fact that this trailer does nothing but sit in my storage cabinet i have nowhere to display this whatsoever and not to mention when i got the trailer i couldn't get it to stay hooked together i actually had to take some super glue and super glued around the tabs a little bit let it thicken up and then once it thickened up it stays together really well but it kind of sucks when you get a hasbro figure and you have to fix it straight out of the box to get it to work right so that's why he's a little lower on my list but still this is a damn fine figure and i think right now i saw on amazon he's back at retail again so there is my number seven rodimus prime number six is a recent purchase and he really big surprise for me because at first when he was first announced i wasn't going to pick him up because i thought he's just gonna be an oversized version of a figure we already have that's really not that great so my number six is kingdom tygetron this figure wowed me i hardly found any faults with this guy one he comes with the gut gun that cheetor should have came with and it's painted you got a little pink there for the guts you got the gun you got the tail whip that doesn't have the blade on the end the face sculpt is damn near perfect to the cartoon transformation is different than cheetor's i was expecting to be the same there's some extra panels you put on and the only reason that this figure got knocked down a couple notches on my list is when you transform it to tiger mode the heels from the robot mode stick out from the thighs so if they could have found a way to fix that this figure would have been a lot higher on the list and it's a shame now i see him uh show for me now this is a great figure so yeah if you you see one of these guys pick him up you are not going to be disappointed all right number five the first and only studio series 86 figure on my list now i went through all the studio series 86 figures and they're all great except maybe blurring cup i'm there they're way down on my spectrum but they all had some faults that kind of kept them from going on the list except for this guy i love studio series 86 wreck guard they knocked it out of park with this figure he looks exactly like he did in the movie he transforms well the motorcycle mode's great usually a motorcycle transformer sucks i mean they just cannot get it right they nailed it with wreck guard but pay attention as i learned in my review to make sure and i just realized i don't even have the wheels on him he does have one wheel that's wider than the other the wide wheel goes in the back the narrow wheel goes in the front but yeah i love this guy and then i believe it's larkin hooked me up with a blaster for him to really complete the look so there is my number five studio series 86 wreck guard number four number four was my first big purchase of 2021 as i said in my christmas haul review during christmas my family never knows what to get me because i always buy this stuff as soon as they see it i get it so they always get me amazon gift card so i had a nice supply of amazon gift cards you know and i was able to finally pick up siege omega supreme this is a great figure i love this guy he is so heavy you compare him to the arc here i mean look look at this and the playability on this guy is awesome i mean he is cartoon accurate very well articulate i love the tank mode but what keeps him a little lower on my list is his base mode is too small he needed to have the oval tracks that expanded the base mode some i mean the tank you know how the g1 the tank would roll around the rocket base with this one the tank is going around the circle probably about that big maybe about as big as a basketball and that just killed me this should have been a much larger base but man the figure the tank and the rocket are awesome so that is my number four siege omega supreme where are we at now top three here's we're getting excited i am not here i'm not an omega supreme fan he's one of the best titans i agree i was never a huge omega supreme fan as far as g1 was concerned i didn't like the character and he was one of the last g1s that i bought about a complete one actually it wasn't too bad he has there's one broken clip on him i need to replace one of these times oh yeah i've seen those there are there are extra tracks i actually had somebody give me some but i got rid of my table so i have nowhere to display omega with those extra tracks all right top three anybody will place some bets what's going to be in the top three well top three is a kingdom figure that was part of the first wave that totally blew my mind when i got this guy out of the box and transformed him i was like hell yes if this is what kingdom is going to bring us this is going to be an amazing line and i'm talking about kingdom cyclonus i love this figure great bot mode outstanding vehicle mode i mean we've had cyclonus with of course g1 you had the classics version which was okay is decent then you had the horrible the combiner wars version and then this guy just killed it my only complaint and it's just a nitpick of mine i don't like the face sculpt i think the chin is way too long now i know if rodamus primal was on here he'd take a pair of snips and cut that chin off and sand it down but i don't trust my customizing skills that good so he's got a toy hacks goatee but yeah that's my only issue with cyclonus i don't like the face sculpt and that's why he's number three but still this is a great figure and like i said after opening him up i was really expecting so much out of the kingdom line but it was just the whole kingdom line was just hit or miss along the way so there was my number three excuse me the more the more i talk the more as crap gets stirred up all right number two now number two here was one i saw it announced and it was like an immediate buy i had there was no question no hesitation i bought this as soon as this thing was announced and i'm talking about transformers generation selects comic version of galvatron one this galvatron i didn't have to fix the shoulders i didn't have to take the battle damage off and he is my galvatron that i grew up with as i mentioned before where i lived i didn't get the cartoon so my transformers fiction growing up was the comic series and that's where this version of galvatron made his appearance and though the cartoon galvatron that we're used to old purple galvatron was insane in the cartoon his insanity didn't match holy candle to this guy's this guy was brutal evil and this this is my galvatron and i love this figure the stickers that came with him were absolute garbage i put them on just for the review and immediately took them off so i'm really looking forward to what toy hacks can do for this guy because they did a great set for the regular version of galvatron so here we are i have to clear some space here for my number one figure of 2021 another total surprise i'm gonna read the chats a little bit let let the anticipation build up a little bit let's see yeah there we go unlike most tf lines would say the best till last can't even live with some of its strongest figures they sure did they sure did and one of the ones that really surprised me again was huffer huffer was a great little figure especially the fact it's huffer i mean who would i we got cartoon version toy version cartoon yeah yeah i dig it all right so without further ado let's get to my number one figure of 2021 and this was one of those figures that it just appeared out of nowhere i saw it on facebook then i saw it on youtube and then i got together with all the con bros and we got the king sniper ksr 01 sniper rifle bot and i love this toy i have had so much fun since i got this guy now when i first got him i was scared to death because kato ordered this figure too and kato broke his pretty much right out of the package and of course he reviewed it anyways like hey i'm gonna review it maybe a piece of shit but i'm gonna review it so after watching his i was scared to mess around with this guy so when i transformed him a couple times i was like really delicate with him but the more and more i start messing with him this is a solid figure i know in my review a lot of people like it looks like a piece of trash i can assure you this is not it's a solid figure it's got good ratchets i mean it's got great articulate listen to that i mean it's so cool it's got that double knee bend on the ratchets great pain applications the whole barrel right here for the sniper rifle is die cast metal i figured out how to attach all of the weaponry on him in the first video i did i i couldn't figure it out but the more and more i messed with this figure this is how he's displayed on my display he's holding the weapon like a gatlin gun he's got the bipods up to his wrists so they look like wrist cannons the scope is up here mounted on his shoulders like a missile launcher i love this figure this was a a surprise and one i really didn't think i was going to get because i ordered it from ali express and i've never ordered from ali express before and i think it was like three weeks he was in my hand now he wasn't packed well he was in his box and uh the box was just wrapped up in like as it was like a giant envelope so the box took some damage but the figure inside was perfect now one issue i did have with him is the trigger mechanism if you saw my video the trigger wouldn't activate the spring when you when you cock him to fire yes this as a sniper rifle actually fires so the trigger mechanism needed a little touch up so i was able to tweak that took me like five minutes to fix and now he is perfect so that may be a shock to a lot of you all but this is my number one figure of 2021 but my god i love this guy he is so much fun i've transformed him back and forth over and over again don't even have any fear of breaking him now oh check it out you look right through the scope see how cool that is so yeah that is awesome and one problem is he's holding that gatlin gun he's a little top heavy there we go oh deluxe thank you so i complete you man all right deluxe he hit us with a super chat so let's do the group oh dear jesus what a fun time i miss you guys so much that was such a blast so there we have it there's my top 10 figures and top five disappointments of 2021 i hope you guys enjoyed so now we'll spend some time in the chat see what's going on uh the autobot clones did not get enough attention actually they got a lot of attention they were at wall greens and they were at amazon and they they keep popping up for sale on amazon favorite repaint i got this year oh without a doubt right here this was my favorites and then i was really impressed with uh road ranger i like that repaint of huffer though i've been debating on uh turning him into a decepticon because of the collars and the bot or the e hobby set that that whole recolor is based on was destrons they were originally bad guys anyway so i may fix that kato dine in the background's funny i know that that's a lot of time but you just watch him going over and over again i need to look that up you guys were talking about bot con in the chat and uh i was out of town we went out of town to get dealing a beta fish he got a fish tank for christmas so we went out town to go to a pet store and get him a beta fish hey johnsy do i have has lab unicron i do in a box i have yet to open i have nowhere to put him bot con where was it met nashville tf con yes it was you and you only met us for a couple hours the weirder the better yes ram jet awesome figures so they're trying to read it it's nashville in august that's damn that's that's pretty soon now that's the first bot con we've had in a while right oh god that's a hard question what was the best decal set that i've got this year hmm man that's a good i don't know there there's been some good ones i mean recently one of my favorites is what they did with earth rise barricade they really improved the look to him now i cannot wait to see what they've done to rodamus here because i know as far as inside the trailer you know it's so plain kind of like way earth rise primes was they're giving him all the computer screens and all that cool stuff so i can't wait to see that deep fake uh slow decay once a deep fake you got it brother let's see oh child things are get brighter then bring it down hard what are you doing dance off bro all right bug bites yeah the bug bite was a good one monster yes that was a great set they took the dead optimus prime set and they went creative and made their own character using the dead optimus prime as a quintessan drone or quintessan zombie it was awesome yes loud obnoxious and that's the packaging you're going to see when you're heading into walmart or target you take that turn into that action figure out you're gonna see that glorious neon purple packaging you're like yes legacy figures then you're gonna be like oh it's just same one over and over again all right well guys that's pretty much it for my top 10 list my wife is in bed i left my kid downstairs by himself watching tv is that i'll be upstairs for a moment i will uh do a quick live show for you guys wanted to show off my top 10 of everything and of course the list was really hard to come up with because there was a lot of great figures and like i said uh with studio series 86 i almost put the dino bots on here didn't put grimlock on because grimlock was missing his front teeth slag had the big gaps in the horns there's just little nitpick things that didn't put them on the list but still a ton of great figures i don't think i had one figure this year that i was completely disappointed in i mean just one where you're like i just wasted my money on this all of them had some redeeming quality even old tracks here who's a piece of shit in car mode a piece of shit to transform he looks great in robot mode so i dig him i mean i dig him as robot mode probably won't well yeah we'll have transform again for the toy hacks decal set so guys like i said this is probably gonna be my last live stream until um the new year and i want to
