As we know, army building is not an old concept. You can go back to g1 insecticons, throw in BM Vehicons, Scrapmetals, movie constructicons, terrorcons and so on. I'm sure more than a few of us have at one time or another bulked up on some of these to create an impressive army. My biggest one was buying 18 Scrapmetals...though I never got them all out of the package and sold off a bunch of those. But I still have a bunch loose.

As much as I liked the idea of building drone armies...nothing...and I mean NOTHING compares to putting an army of Prime Vehicons together! I'm more stoked at the idea of building this army than anything before by far, which scares me because I don't know how far with this I may take it if the opportunity to is there. I can see myself somewhere down the line with about 10-20 of them if the pace of new releases remains slow.


SO will these be the biggest army building drone figures ever?

Everywhere I look people are going nuts already just to find one. Haven't found one yet myself. But nearly every fan I run across seems to be wanting at least 3 or more, that's gonna make these a pretty tough find no matter how many are packed per case. Already I can't help but think that this one drone figure would easily outsell any figure from the line at this point by a WIDE margin. That's pretty incredible for a figure with little or no real character to it, wouldn't you say?!? Hasbro better find a way to drastically up the case count on these bad boys!

Here is yet another solid Alternator figure and technically the first use of this mold for the line. As great as he is, he is not Windcharger by any means, but there is always Overdrive...

HTS.Com is selling Deluxe TFP toys by the assortment case only.

they probably don't want to get stuck with bumblebee's.

Hi guys. If you are actively following the Prime Toyline, you probably know that wave 3 is coming out. If you know that already, you might know that wave 3 only has 1 per case vechicon in them. Last night I literally went to 5 different stores, only to see exactly a case of wave 3 on pegs at each store, EXCEPT for Vechicon. (Yes, I know, you can blame me for bad luck, going too late, etc)

After the whole FE debacle, I decide to 'settle' for RID vechicon instead, but only to treated to 1 per case assortment. It's like a slap in the face, and then Hasbro turned my other cheek. (oh, he will not be in wave 4, which will only contain 1 per case Airachnid also >:/) Hasbro, why do you have to include BumbleBee? He already appeared in the 2 previous waves!

So for those of you who collect other toylines, do they stuck an old mold that has already has 2 per case in previous waves? (I.E. BUBBLEBEE!)? And for those of you "in the know", how do they decide case assortment?

Sorry for the rant, but I needed to vent that somewhere. haha.

PS: if you can locate a vechicon, please PM me.

A disgruntled Optimus Prime reviews the BotCon 2012 Exclusive Metalhawk... disgruntled because Magnus is in the set and not he himself.

*for entertainment purposes only

So I have a question about getting some TF Merchandise signed at next years BotCon. Is it worth it or should I avoid the lines? Also, this year at Mid-Ohio Con in Columbus I have the chance of getting Marvel's g1 Transformers #2 Signed by Michael Golden(He did the cover). Should I get his signature or avoid getting it since it's issue 2 of the original series. Any info is most helpful.

I will ship worldwide. Please send me a message if you live outside the US and I'll provide shipping costs.

Up for auction is a classics Skywarp that was packaged with the classic Ultra Magnus (not included). It is in very good condition with just a few tiny paint chips that I noticed. They are visible in the pics but so small they're hard to notice. The weapons and missiles are included and the launching mechanism works on both. All the joints still feel pretty nice and tight as I transformed him.

Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!

A review of the elusive Reveal the Shield Windcharger figure. Enjoy!

Regarding fan rumors of Hub networks cancellation/removale.

I Personally don't see this ever happening for the following top 10 reasons below:

(1)When was the last time anyone ever saw a cable network do so badly that it ceased operations,cancelled itself. got removed by force or thru itself?

(2)Networks don't make their money thru viewership rattings. networks make the bulk share of their money thru sponsors & money they get from cable/satelite/dish/etc membership plans. most networks even go as far as grabbing money at night time from 3 am to 6am thru those infomercials companies.

(3)the first year of any new network is always the hardest,roughest & least profits.

(4)network's that are doing badly don't shut down & cease to function. they do mergers to stay alive & keep themselves on the air

(5)The hub network has decent viewrship rattings. their are plenty of newer shows & cartoons getting added every passing month.

(6)Some TF internet fans think that because the TF Prime cartoon series is rushing season 2's episodes & showing 14 brand new episodes back to back to back. this is a sign that the hub network is closing down soon & hasbro wants to air all the newer TFP cartoon episodes before the hub network shuts down.

Personally,I suspect the reasons were getting so many newer TFP cartoon episodes aired all at once back to back. is as follows: (1)Takara When they air the TFP cartoon episopdes in Japan,Takara needs a brand new episode each week. that's 52 episodes per year takara needs to air. perhaps hasbro is rushing production of newer TFP episodes to cater to takara's needs. (2)Maybe Hasbro wants to stay ahead of the TFP newer episodes & air them on the hub before takara airs newer TFP episodes in japan. with takara airing a brand new episode each week. takara is bound to catch up & run newer episodes before hasbro if hasbro takes a hiatus break & starts airing repeats on the hub. (3)maybe hasbro feels the TF Prime cartoon newer episodes is what brings in the viewers & this will make more newer comers viewers watch the hub network. (4)It's possible Hasbro wants to release newer TF Prime toys this year & their rushing the TFP cartoon episodes. because the TFP cartoon episodes are behind the newer TFP toy releases. like newer characters like shockwave.

(7)Shows/cartoons get cancelled,networks don't get cancelled.

(8)Hasbro now has a major venue/network to advertise all their products they sell in stores via their hub network. hasbro is adding more of their products on the hub via live shows or newer cartoons. theirs a newer care bears cartoon set to air on the hub in june 2012. as long as the hub network complete it's goal of drawing in viewers to advertise the toys & kids/parents buy the hasbro products. this is hasbro's main goal for the hub network.

(9)If their are any Hub network quartly/yearly profits loses. Hasbro will gain all this back thru exclusive rights to sell DVD cartoons seasons/series in stores. video games,party supplies,selling more toys in stores because of the hub network advertising the live shows/cartoons via a half hour episode that airs on the hub. if the hub network can make hasbro gain 1 BIllion more in toys/dvds products sales. then who cares about the hub network losing a few meager thousands worth of dollars each year.

(10)These are nothing but fan rumors,started by fans who can't watch the hub network. due to it not being on their current cable/dish/satelite membership payment plans.

Clearly fans who don't have the hub network on their current payment plan. have other options to watch the TF Prime cartoon series episodes like as follows: You-Tube,When it gets released in stores thru DVD cartoons seasons. thru other fans making bootleg copies. maybe if the Hub web site airs newer eposodes on their site for free for all to view.

Here is the number one most frustrating Alternator of the bunch. Overall though, he stands out as being pretty good. He does make for a much better Downshift than Wheeljack, but I can't blame the car or the color for it though.
