Yeah, looks like they chopped the MP-44 legs and head with Earthrise OP's torso.2 points

I want him for sure. Love the Junkions. I think people just love to complain man. Just don't buy the figure if you don't want it. I am loving all the options they've been putting out.2 points

Wsup TFormers! I'm super stoked to bring you my latest fan mode, the Trash Titan, otherwise known as 3G, the Garbage Goliath Gestalt!. This one is a collaboration between and one of my viewers, RobertH. Robert created the torso and I created the limbs. A very very cool and fun project that you can undertake if you have the bots at home. Requires: 1x Trashmaster, 2x Scraphooks, and 2x Crashbars. Check out the pic and also the vid, if you're interested in seeing the tutorial. Thanks and have a nice day2 points

Forgot about this one. It's Siege Shockwave repainted as Cybertron Brimstone based on the Botcon figure. I had planned to do at least Galactic Man and Energon Sixshot as well and maybe FoC Air Raid and Fireflight but when an actual Galactic Man Shockwave as announced, I put a hold on anything else. I also started to run out of extra money and went back to work and stopped making customs in general all around the same time. I can only post about six pics a post so I'll be posting a few in a row here for you. The rest will be all about the GUOP mold.2 points

It is a surprise we didn't see this already, but a new image out on SNS shows a stock image of Nemesis Prime SS-EX repaint of the Optimus Prime SS-38 coming from Takara TOMY. In addition to the new colors, there are Decepticon logos on the shoulders, but there doesn't appear to be any visible mold changes in the photos. - Read the Full News Story2 points

It's a 3D printed design by Hightail Creations. I love how creative this is, and he says files will be uploaded tomorrow. For more information, see his YouTube video below:2 points

It's about fucking time. It's just that I don't trust Fans Hobby. Their figures are either awesome or mediocre, overpriced comparatively or underpriced comparatively, puffy/bloated looking or "standard" looking, too big or too small to fit in anywhere and whatever other wild extremes. There is no in between though it seems. What an odd company. I like almost exactly half of their stuff and hate the same amount lol. At least they never made a mostly "bad" figure before so there's that.1 point

Probably down because of all the crappy rise of the beasts merchandise. The main lines were really lacking content last year as a result.1 point

"What in tarnation?" TransArt gives us yet another great Beast Wars figure.1 point

I'm fairly certain that this DNA kit is for Ultimate Optimus Primal and not SS Optimus Primal. When they posted the update for Volcanicus they asked it people wanted a kit for Takara's RotB Primal by voting for it in the comments. I guess this is the results of that vote. It makes sense since the new parts can just peg into the ports on Ultimate Primal's forearms and shoulders. It also looks like they're replacing the beast mode head too since it looks to have an opening jaw which I think is why people are thinking it's SS Primal. For me the dead giveaway is the flat tab clearly seen on the back of the figure. That to me tells me it's Takara Ultimate Primal. And it would make more sense as I think Apelinq was bigger than Primal so they're using the largest mold for the conversion. I wouldn't mind maybe seeing a small kit for voyager Primal to maybe make him into Optimus Minor or something. That's probably just me though. Voyager Minor, leader Primal and then ultimate Apelinq. Or you can just use the Beast Weaponizer Primal for Minor as that's a decent little figure in its own right and it has the correct beast mode posture. Although, Optimus Minor wasn't a gorilla since he had a tail lol. So no, that wouldn't work. Paint the voyager blue and call him B'Boom then or something like that. I'm still hoping for a retool of Kingdom Primal into B'Boom. They're not all that far off from each other in where their parts go. Not that they really would be as they're such similar animals to begin with. I'd also want another retool into Heinrad too. It could totally pull off the clock chest with how Kingdom Primal's chest transforms. I thought we'd be getting more Beast Wars figures after Snarl/Tazmania Kid was leaked but it seems it's only going to be Magmatron and Big Convoy. Hopefully they'll do Galvatron too from TM2 Megatron.1 point

This looks like a cheap KO compared to the originals. The only part that is interesting is the Bluebolt figure1 point

multipack like a five pack? 2pk/3pk sure but that's ridiculous cash grab nonsense and it being a Target exclusive with hound and Trailbreaker it's gonna be hard to come by. Thanks for nothing hasbro.1 point

You know, it's almost as if Hasbro, a toy company, has gotten so wrapped up in a postmodern cult ideology, they've forgotten how to give the fans what they want, which is the only reason they exist. Stay in your lane! If I want to be told how much I suck, I'll go to church, but until then, worry more about running your business instead of running your business into the ground at the behest of the Davos crowd.1 point

Energon keeps on flowing from Fans Hobby with their newest update on the Master Builder MB-25 Prototype project. The unofficial MP scale Energon / Super Link Wingsaber has been totally redesigned to combine with their massive MB-18 Energy Commander figure. Fans Hobby says this still a work in progress, but it can be seen in the grey prototype form in the images below. - Read the Full News Story1 point

I would've pre-ordered Magmatron, but apparently the tail can't be removed in bot mode, and just having it hanging there like that makes it look like he's taken a huge purple dump.1 point

We won't be past that until they stop using translucent plastic and then painting over it. But in any event, two shades of white are better than the three shades of red on Ironhide and three shades of yellow on Sunstreaker. If they want to still have translucent parts then they need to be separate inserts that are glued, pinned or screwed in. Yeah it might cost a little extra but it should save on paint and make a more uniformly colored and sturdier figure overall.1 point

If you flip out the trailer stands in Super Mode, they look like the knee cannons from the original toy.1 point

This would be better than the hyper anime version if it had blue eyes. Disappointing that this does it come with that. Overall the colors are much better than MP-44 which were overly exaggerated when compared with the anime.1 point

I just want to know when they're going to release that sweet Buzzworthy Hound that was leaked back in October. I've been itching to get my hands on him for the last 8 months.1 point

Seems I took over this thread with my crappy customs lol. Vector Prime is/was a multiversal singularity. So any Vector Prime released will be the same Vector Prime regardless of anything else. However there's only been one Vector Prime anyway though and that's CyberTRON Vector Prime. Well I guess there's been two if you count PotP Metalhawk since the Primemaster that came with him is Vector Prime. The wiki still has them as being the same Vector Prime though. I was literally just thinking about Vector Prime and how he needs a new figure. We need more big Autobots with flying alt modes and he certainly fits the bill. I wonder what they're going to do with Safeguard? Hasbro claimed they don't want to do Battlemasters and Micromasters anymore as they supposedly didn't sell well. No, the Rise of the Beast ones don't count as they should've been out about two years ago. Those seem to be selling well now though regardless of when they were supposed to be on shelves. So maybe they'll circle back around to them to do the Armada and Cybertron Minicons. Swindle, Leader-1, Sparkplug, Drillbit, Jolt and now Safeguard and Clench all need to be done. And we do need new ones. I dug out Armada Jolt, Universe Jolt and even T30 Blazemaster who has a Jolt variant and none of them work well with Hot Shot. The two Minicon Jolts don't peg onto the Minicon peg in Vehicle mode and the peg isn't accessible in robot mode. Blazemaster can't peg onto the Minicon peg either but can at least become a gun for robot mode. Maybe if the hood or the engine had a 5mm port then Blazemaster could plug in as a gun in vehicle mode. Deluxe Optimus Prime is mildly interesting. We've come a long way from the Classics deluxe Optimus Prime mold so it's bound to be way better than that and thankfully won't have the spinning gimmick. Armada Galvatron is a long time coming. I get the CW mold wasn't amazing for Armada Megatron but I really did want Galvatron too. Now we're getting a proper update and I still kind of want a CW Armada Galvatron lol. I hope they finish the trifecta and do Megazarak too. I'll even take a Lucky Draw redeco. Origin Wheeljack is a VOYAGER. Nice. I hope they keep going with these even though there's technically little to no more they can do. Soundwave and Laserbeak? No not the "hidden" mode of the Siege figure, I mean one that only turns into the "lampost". I would hate that so much as I hate having an alt mode that doesn't move on its own other than for small weapons. Blaster and Netflix Soundwave annoy me but I do own all versions. At least Perceptor has his tank mode thing. If these new "rocks" are indeed Weaponizers, I hope they work better than the Junkions. I hate how the torsos don't do anything. I couldn't care less about having a self contained transformation if it means that you lose functionality of the gimmick. I don't even bother messing with the Junkions the same way I did with the Weaponizers, Modulators and Fossilizers. The names don't seem to line up with any Rock Lords either for the most part. Not that they'd need to change the names since Hasbro owns those. They'd only need to make sure not to have them be accurate to the original toys like Velocitron Crasher. Not that I'd know since I never found one let alone the two I wanted. Maybe these are like Rock Lords though and they're really trying to do new (aka old) things. Just going to have to wait and see in two weeks or so when they start leaking from the factories now that they're showing up again in store listings.1 point

What a wildly different reaction to this figure based on the votes here vs the comments on a certain other site. I don't hate it. I don't love it either though. I just feel that this should've been a more vibrant purple at the very least. Or just have been standard OTFCC Shadow Striker colors. I mean of course it's going to get that redeco at some point but it's just a little odd that they'd go with that mold with only the head from Cyberverse to represent Cyberverse Shadow Striker. I guess it makes sense though as who else are they going to get from a mold that's more like Cyberverse Shadow Striker? Prime Vehicons maybe? That's not a bad idea actually. They have similar car modes in any event. Damn, maybe I don't like this for Cyberverse Shadow Striker now or I just want a new Prime Vehicon mold or something lol. I do like the mold otherwise though. And of course it's not going to look like a Dodge Viper. Sure it could be more rounded a design for the car but I think this looks rather good as a very late "G1" style design. Almost like Chromedome in a way. Actually, it looks a bit like a Dodge Charger. Maybe someone on the design team got their Dodge cars mixed up?1 point

But the rear behind the cab no longer looks like a real semi. this is a step back from SS-38. Like1 point

As someone who repainted a GUOP into Nova, I can confirm that this would make for a great base mold. With new wings, shoulder pads, super mode chest and forearm guards (all from what I can tell from the silhouette anyway) , this will make for a great retool that's a long time coming. It also is the last character from the Siege era that I did a custom of to receive an official toy. At least my Toxitron will remain unique since I also used GUOP for that. Otherwise it's Siege Magnus for Delta Magnus, GUOP for Nova Prime, and Siege Sideswipe/Red Alert/Covert Clone for Tigertrack, Deep Cover and Clamp Down. Well, I guess a Siege Delta Magnus is still pretty unique vs the Earthrise version we technically got. As well as Nova Prime form GUOP without any new parts. Deep Cover was reworked into a Siege Scamper and the rest don't do much of anything right now. At least I never started on Black Ironhide since we've gotten two of them now or most of the other Diaclone or G2 repaints I was going to do. Although I probably should start on red Mirage just to hurry an official version of that along. I was going to do Detritus too but that's also being done. I started on a green Ratchet but never finished it. Maybe if I did, we'd get one of them too. I should grab some extra Skids/Burnout/Crosscut to do Skids and Screech. Oh and I plan on doing a lazy custom of parts swapping Blue Trailbreaker with Lift-Ticket to make Red Trailbreaker and Blue Hoist and then repainting the heads. Oh and I do mean to do yellow Cliffjumper, red Bumblebee and white Hubcap too. I have the heads somewhere to be repainted but a lot has happened since I took the heads off and now I don't know where they are anymore lol. Oh and 2007 Jolt, Cybertron Crosswise and someone else, I forget who it was, from my extra ER Datsuns. So many easy releases being skipped for some reason. They can just keep pumping out the Generations Selects if they wanted with all of these but they don't for some reason. But they're constantly saying that they're running out for GS since the stores want so many exclusives. But there's still so many more they need to do. Yellow Ratchet, Silver Silverstreak, Yellow Trailbreaker and Hoist and so on and so on not to mention the Go Bots redecos of the G1 Mini Bots.1 point

I hope this is just a very early proof of concept for the weapons since there's nothing else retooled. I don't want Tarn in Bludgeon's colors. I want at least some kind of retooling done to make it look more like the comic designs at the bottom of the post. Tarn is good but just do more than the weapons. Bludgeon deserves more than that. Maybe for Banzaitron but not Bludgeon.1 point

This is pretty sweet! She looks great and I like the idea of the bottom "fin" to fold apart for landing (or crashing into a Peruvian mountain range). I also find it funny that both Siege Seeker Skywarp and Earthrise Thrust are teased on the front of the boxart.1 point

If you have Legacy Evolution Skyquake and have struggled to get his transformation just right because of the landing gear, DON'T CUT IT! It's all about order of operations and despite this guy giving up a lot of Leader mass, man-oh-man, were all the stops pulled out in every single other fashion. The dude is fantastic!1 point

We are rolling out for the weekend with a look at the 2003 Takara Transformers MyClone Convoy Truck Mode. The line of little-formers that was a big hit in the 00s preceding Transformers Mini-mates, were actually designed to have interchangeable parts to mix things up between characters. No one did that much, but we can see that Convoy's robot mode torso is what makes up the cab for the Truck mode. - Read the Full News Story1 point

Just out on the SNS is an interesting look at Transformers Rise Of The Beasts Megatron Boxart from the Titan Changers figure found in Mexico. Some are speculating this could be an unused design from the Bumbl0ebee Movie. Considering the figure itself is a repack of the Authentics Titan Megatron figure, it is doubtful Megatron will be in the new movie, be we'll find out for sure in June. - Read the Full News Story1 point
