I don't entirely agree because there are merits to a figure of a Transformers character not transforming, but I do agree that the large majorty of Transformers fans and collectors (me included) are most interested in the transformation aspect, toys that are an action figure, puzzle, and car model all in one. It's what makes these toys special.

Another reason that the R.E.D line flopped is because a lot of them were uh, not good. They had odd color choices, bad plastic, malformed accessories, loose joints, and posed a lot worse than a good chunk of modern mainline figures. Yes, most of them had the accuracy part, but they felt like leftover plastic and the fact that there were more posable, better quality, transformable, and sometimes more accurate figures out there, whether official or third party, definitely made them flop.

A notable example of a Transformer with no alt mode is Revoltech. Their Prime doesnt transform, but boy does he compensate with sheer articulation. Before newer figures, even third party struggled to macth the sheer poseability he has.

No matter how others say about non-transforming Transformers figures, even if it defeats the purpose by in it's name, it will always be and always has been a BRAND. There's bound to have variety and types of merchandise. With that said, I don't mind the concept. Mainly because it's a "representation" of one mode (alt or robot) that strives for screen accuracy from the source material and not worrying any compromises and issues from a traditional Transformers figure that can actually transform (some were a hit or miss, depending on the tolerances that vary copy to copy) and more articulation. The concept of it is just a novelty and an option imo. There are plenty of options out there if you feel like a certain concept or thing in it's brand is not for you.

RPMs were my cheat code. Very few kids could have all the ROTF characters in transforming toy form , but it was easy to collect all the characters I wanted as RPMs. And when a kid plays with them, you realise transforming isnt even necessary, car chases with talking cars was enough for my mind.

There was a small line of PVC figures (Prime, Bee, Megatron, Soundwave & Shockwave) at Walmart sold loose with just a tag attached to them. You also see some of this style of figures at the numerous dollar stores during Xmas. These figures are great to randomly place around your space. Also, usually cheap so safe to put on a work desk and not fret over in an office setting!

Most collecters consider transformers that don't transform sacralige, but a lot of those same collecters will get one that does, never transform it once, leave in a cool pose on their shelf for the rest of it's life, never messing with it, and complain when it's inaccurate or missing articulation. I'm just saying, if all you really want is a robot that's just to pose and never touch again than why do you care if it transforms or not?

It was just bizarre and not worth the removal of the actual process of converting them back and forth

Also, there is something to be said about how much transformers actually cost. From what I've seen, prices have been going up and quality just keeps going down. I doubt they cant make transforming figures for more accessible prices. I still recall when I bought Leader ROTF Prime for a really good price at a local store, and he still puts some modern figures to shame, same for Battle Blade Bumblebee, which was re-released recently as a Voyager price instead of deluxe just to further prove how cheap Hasbro has become.

I do think the R.E.D. series occasionally has one advantage. You can get faithful versions of certain designs of specific characters in R.E.D. that you otherwise wouldn't be able to for a comparable price point. For example, the Transformers Prime Knockout you mentioned. But also things like a more accurate G1 Prime (without the wheels visible) or G1 Megatron (without the treads on his back that come with his new altmode since we lost the gun). I got R.E.D. Megatron for that reason, and man does it look good on my shelf, commanding my upscale Devastator to go and destroy the Autobots.

5:34 when i was a kid, i hated those "toys" that was offered in wal mart and target. The only ones i went with are the star wars action figures and legos. Looks like you cant play with them much since theyre stuck in the same static pose.

I personnally think the Transformers franchise has arrived to a point that legitimate non transformable figures (because at the start of the transformers franchise there was just no point at all of doing this) just as an anime as it's cool figures, like the threezero brand that make really cool and accurate non transformable movie figures (but as a very high price), even tho i'm not interested in those, but i see why some people would want those kind of figures because it's a really cool display for the fans

Great video! I don't collect Transformers of any kind, but I know that there has always been the debate of wether the Transformers figures that don't really transform are a good idea or not. As you showed here, this doesn't necessarily is a bad idea, if the brand knows how to do so. Question: do you like Godzilla? Because a video of yours of some of his figures would be awesome.

I remember owning some of the RPMs because I was hyped to have transformer's characters on the same scale as my hot wheels collection, for some reason as a kid I though they would actually transform at that size, so I got very disappointed when I found they just have a sketch of the character under the car...

I love the RPM’s even till today because it’s an easy way to incorporate the vehicles into a model layout. I model in 1:72/1:64 scale and if I want to include a transformers vehicle I can get one of theses and it doesn’t look half bad

When I saw the RPM line on shelves back in the day, I got nostalgic rushes of memories of me pretending my Hot Wheels cars were Gobots back in 1984. At that time living in Hawai'i not many of us Air Force Brat kids had access to them yet when they first released, so we had to make do with what we had.

Now if mainline only got to stores here, but nope, last few years we only got the kid focussed gimmick lines. At least can get stuff online still. Most recently all the leader scale Dinobots and Flame Toys Furai Windblade and Arcee. Latter two absolutely gorgeous and high end model kits.

I never really knew about the Action Masters. I first found out about them in the DW profile comic series. The Decepticon that came with Catgut, Treadshot, had a pretty cool look. Would have been good for a drone soldier. Also the Targetmaster creatures would have made for cool for battle backup weapons. So rather than having a partner like the old Targetmasters, they can feely move through the battlefield and backup anyone who needs it.
