:) Popped in to my local Toys R Us and had a word with the very helpful Customer Services assistant about Transformers Masterpieces. I inquired about any that where currently available on their systems, with only Masterpiece Acid Storm floating around, but what really caught my eye further down the list was Masterpiece Prowl and Masterpiece Sunstorm! The Customer Services assistant checked both items, which unfortunately didnt have a confirmed release date, but each had their own SKN/VNDR reference number and a price against them. Transformers Masterpiece Prowl was priced at £59.99 with a reference number of 958298 and Masterpiece Sunstorm was priced at £69.99 with the reference number 958883. This is very positive news that both figures will be hitting U.K. shores in the not too distant future. I have included a photo of both information screens which the Customer Services assistant very kindly let me take.

:) A Robotmel Lazy Customs Production Presenting Classics Voyager G2 MEGATRON! After tinkering with my Classics G2 Optimus Prime, I felt he needed a friend to play with so went about knocking up a custom G2 Megatron to hold his hand! Created from a Marvel Crossovers Hulk, I added a spare Classics Voyager Megatron head and fusion cannon that I had in my parts box from an old KO, a faction sticker and some purple stickers, giving him a cheeky update to something more articulated! A lick of blue paint to his face and this lazy custom was ready to roll! More photos here... Custom Voyager G2 Megatron Photos by robotmel | Photobucket

:doh According to TFW2005, this is a fake. Its the same table from the Tokyo Toy Show 2012 but someone has edited the picture behind to show Bumblebee, which most are suggesting should be MP Bumble if its a Takara product!

Custom Classics Galvatron with Generations Scourge and Classics Cyclonus!

:con A Robotmel Lazy Customs Production Presenting Classics Voyager GALVATRON! With this lazy custom, I wanted to create a Classics version which offered a mix of the various depictions of Galvatron, especially the colouring, which mixes purple, blue, grey, red, gold, black and orange. Created from three versions of the Classics Voyager Megatron mould, two of which where knock offs, this Voyager sized Galvatron has had various parts swapped out to offer a familiar yet slightly different take on everyones favourite meniacal Decepticon leader. Using absolutely no paint what so ever, this lazy custom keeps its orange cap on the fusion cannon as a nod to the orange particle cannon of G1 Galvatron. The head mould is from one of the KOs which has had a black crest attached as a nod to the crown-like horns sported by the various Galvatrons over the years. I was going to leave the thighs and upper arms blue from the KO but went for the grey instead to reflect Galvatrons look in the animated movie. As the only addition to the figure has been the head crest, the transformation is not affected and the head still folds into the chest cavity without any problems. This custom will be my Galvatron stand-in until Hasbro or a 3rd Party create a Voyager sized Classics version to take his place. Hope you like it!
