Great memories collecting the original figures. Studio series got me back into collecting transformers again. The Blackout figure was the best hit of nostalgia for me. Remembering childhood and how it had passed. Have been hooked on Studio Series and Generations since. Loved that Optimus to death. Bumblebee and Jazz were great.

Great video, I like the studio series more than the old ones, prefer my movie transformers screen accurate in bot mode, but I agree with you in the plastic quality, it was better in the old toys, I miss when the plastic quality was good on most toys and the rubber wheels weren't limited to collector lines, although I don't miss the gimmicks or electronics that much, I always forget to change the battery. PD: I won't tell to not do it, I understand it's your channel and your style and I still like your content, but every time you hit a transformer with the pencil it gets on my nerves, years ago a friend made a scratch on a toy I have from the power rangers doing the same type of test quality in plastic.

I'd like to say that I fit into both categories (collectors that both display & transform my figures). Yeah, the figures I have do stand on my shelf (since much of my figures are current Generations figures), but I occasionally transform them when I feel like it (Studio Series ROTF Starscream, Gen Selects Galvatron, Legacy Ironhide/DK-2 Guard, POTP/Earthrise Punch-Counterpunch, Earthrise & Studio Series BB Optimus Prime, & SS86 Hot Rod are great examples of this, especially if the figures are fun/a joy to transform). And my figures do help with creating stories about them.

Tbh the 2007 ones are better made. they're heavier, the joints are tighter, and I think the alt modes look better. The ss ones are too small and fragile, they arent any fun to mess with and are basically only for sitting on a shelf, they beat out the ogs in terms of accuracy by a landslide but that's their only redeeming quality.

Unpopular opinion but: the 2007 versions are vastly superior. I actually think the studio series versions of Ratchet, Bee, and ESPECIALLY Optimus (I hate the faux chest plate and the innacurate ankle wheels, and how his feet are exposed in truck mode) are God awful and cheap, with bland and lazy paint appa. SS Jazz is okay (I dislike his feet), though I still prefer the OG, but I think the SS Iron Hide is really the only objectively good one out of the five.

Somethings i like imo: For bee: i like the new cuz ut doesnt have the connected arm canon while i grew up with the 2007 one tho it has annoying panels and vehicle mode i like both but the 2007-2009 one has a better door window representation while SS has it painted off For jazz: got to own the old one and i liked it even if the legs are innacurate with faux wheels and solid car mode tho i agree i like SS better except the tabbing For ratchet: for beef, the old one and good altmode. For SS is also both For ironhide: yes i love both but i take SS's back not being a very simple stick and takeoff backpack unlike the first fig. Altmode i love both thats why i consider ironhide my fav fig of the cast both 07 and 15th anniversary one Prime: leader has a good dark color and i love it same as the lighter shade the SS fig has and obv better smokestacks. For robot mode SS all the way except details like the legs. Not sure why the 1st, 2nd and 4th version has a better paint in the legs than the anniversary edition one, its dumb. The legs on the 2007 one has it formed better while SS has a semi accurate transformation like the movie but not much. Altmode i take 2009 lol Sorry if its long

Something you should take into consideration Chef, and this is what I wanted to talk to you in private about.... Despite what it may seem, after studying the figure over the years, finally getting a hold of the MPM Jazz, and the new techniques that third party chinese companies use to make screen accurate robot modes (i'm no engineer and I learned stuff as time went on), it's actually the 2007 Jazz figure that's closer to being screen accurate, and I'm sure the engineer had been given just a tad bit more time to think his concept through, the transformation could've been on par with premium 2009 Bumblebee, if not far better.
