I'll watch practically anything Bobby Skullface posts.
Chris McFeely has awesome videos.
RodimusPrimal's videos are good too, but I tend to gravitate towards Chris over him cause dat accent.
Baltmatrix and Peaugh are my go-to reviewers.




I loathe Emgo.

 

Good list. Never heard of McFeely though. Thanks for posting that, as I now have someone else to watch for reviews.

But why do you not like Emgo?

I'm always curious as to why sooooo many people share your sentiment. Outside of his super corny cringe worthy attempts at humor, I think he's great at what he does...

 

I personally think Emgo's alright? Like, he's a bit loud and bombastic and can be a bit annoying at times but he's not as awful as Baltmatrix (who doesn't know A, how to make an actual informative review and B, doesn't know what the hell editing is) or Optibotimus (whether it's FILLIN' UP MY CUÙÜPPÊ) IMO.

 

That right there. He was the first reviewer I discovered, and I was too lazy to find any others at the time. After hearing the same bad jokes 10 or 20 times, I would only slightly cringe and power through the videos. After about 100 times, I found other reviewers. But the one thing that really drove me away, was a video where he spent a good five minutes laughing to himself because a figure had a display stand port on it's ass. I just couldn't after that.

While Balt's editing is at times atrocious, I can get through his reviews. Something about him is easier for me to tune out when he's talking nonsense. But he focuses on figures in his reviews, not himself. Emgo is too wrapped up in his "comedy". He puts more emphasis on his bad jokes and skits in my opinion.

 

I add to the list I've written in October also Death reviews,I watch him for several months and his reviews are very funny!
About Emgo I always liked care when he transforms bots and now he shows both in his most recent videos,greatly appreciated!

 

Skullface, Thew, Jobby, Ben, McFeely, to a lesser extent Peugh, Baltmatrix, Optibotimus, and RodimusPrimal.

Weighing in, Emgo is really really good for watching but not listening in my personal experience.

 

I rewatch that every once in a while, it's just too damn funny.

 

Who usually posts the shortest reviews?

 

From the ones I subscribe to , Peaugh.
He seems a pretty "meat and potatoes" guy with little fluff imo.

 

For reviews, it’s usually Peaugh and Baltmatrix. Sometimes, I will check other reviewers like Thew or/and Jobby either to hear the views of other reviewers or out of boredom.

For general TF knowledge, I like watching Chris McFeely for his informational videos. Rodimus Primal isn’t bad either, but I usually get more interested in watching McFeely’s videos.

 

I've been following Peaugh's reviews for years and I'd say he's my favourite. His videos are very informative, he doesn't push his personal opinions of designs and whatever too much and overall, he's really good at showing different aspects and features the figure has and therefore really helping at deciding if the figure is indeed something I want to buy.

 

I don't mind Emgo, I appriciate the enthuasim. I look forward to every Chris McFeely video, and check out RodimusPrimal when a interesting topic shows up on my feed.

 

I like emgo316 as a reviewer. I also like competing with him to see if I can get the newest studio series figure before he does. Ss18 being a good example

 

AbsurdlyAwesome is probably my favorite specifically Transformers-related channel. His stop motion videos aren't the best on a technical level (don't expect really smooth animation or flashy action), but I love the sense of humor and the 'absurdness' of them. He makes funny, out-of-the-box stories and skits that don't take themselves seriously and aren't trying to be some sort of epic fanfiction. What he lacks in technical presentation he more than makes up for in cleverness and wit. I've been watching him for about 7 years, and I think he's the only (semi-active) stop-motion YouTuber I'm currently subscribed it.

Marlinfan1995 is my favorite discussion channel. He covers news and discussion topics related to the movies. His videos tend to be pretty short and concise, which is why I prefer him over similar channels. He has some fun theory/explanation videos on the movies that clearly have research and thought put into them.

Dingocrikey. Unfortunately he doesn't upload anymore, but I really enjoyed his opinion videos on the movies. It's been a while since I've watched them, but I recall agreeing with him for the most part. I got into watching his videos around the time he left. He also has some toy reviews, but I'm not terribly into toy reviews.

Lindsey Ellis. She's not specifically Transformers, but she frequently references it in her video essays. She has a neat series that analyzes Michael Bay's movies in terms of film theory. She's insanely knowledgeable about film. I've learned a lot of new things about film just from listening to her talk about it. I subscribed for her Transformers series and stayed for everything else. She's probably one of my top ten favorite YouTubers.

 

Emgo, Cardboard bots, and lazyeyebrow are my favorite reviewers to watch. Cardboard hasn't updated in months though and Lazyeyebrow rarely updates.

There's a few stop motion youtubers I watch also but some of them haven't updated in over a few months to a year.

I love Thew Adams' reviews. Just so energetic. And his portmanteaus are quite clever.

TJ Omega's another one. I do rather like his old Plastic Addict series.

 

Thew is the best IMO.

Peaugh is good and emgo is my go to for the "just transform it" when I get a new figure.

Also Toy Galaxy is probably my favorite youtube channel in general but they rarely do transformers reviews specifically.

 

Back in the day, I really had a soft-spot for ilovemess' reviews. He really made you appreciate toys even when they were crap and it was thanks to him that a lot of reviewers got started in the first place. It's just too bad that he hasn't been active for a long time, 'cause his reviews were great.

Currently active reviewers, well, I do think TheCollector75 and Peaugh are my favorites in terms of informative and straight-to-the-point reviews, while Thew and Auvelier are my favorites in terms of humor and off-the-wall gags while also giving a bit of info about the toy. I do like a lot of reviewers, but these are the ones that I could consider the top ones.

I've also seen a few Rodimus Primal videos recently, and they're pretty good in terms of informative videos about Transformers as well as other stuff, and I do think his reviews are quite cool as well.
