  1. What's the Zoid (the one that looks like a cross between a Zaber Fang and Lightning Saix) and other robot pictured in the crossover? I thought the Shield Liger was the only Zoid that had been announced as getting the Transformers crossover treatment. ADDENDUM: So I just clicked on the photo after discovering it was hyperlinked and now I have more questions than answers. The Zoid is the 1/100 Realize Model RMZ-006 Saber Tiger Schwalz Special, however I thought that the thing ab out the T-Spark line was that they were meant to be Transformers crossovers; this doesn't transform from what i can tell. I have the same question regarding Bravern not being given an alt mode of some kind.
  2. @BaCon I may have missed this, but I think one thing which might deserves its own story in there is this - particularly due to how amazing they look:
  3. All good - I only caught it when I went looking for images and realised what was happening. Easy fix.
  4. Someone may want to fix the following story: Hasbro Returns to Brand Licensing Europe 2024 With Transformers and More Licensed Products The problem with how it's currently formatted is that all the original hyperlinks in the copied and pasted story are dead (meaning there's no way of directly checking out numerous photo galleries which the press release links to) and going to the listed source in the article, sends you to a short interview about press release, but it doesn't contain any of the links to those photo galleries. It might be worth either adding this link to the official Hasbro press release on the topic to the list of sources (as all the links are present to photo galleries for multiple press release items are working), and/or going through and manually fixing up each hyperlink - depending on which option you feel like going with. If someone was feeling particularly masochistic, they may even want to embed the images, but I figure it's probably overkill. Hope this helps. @BaCon, I thought it was worth tagging you in on this, since you were the author of it.
  5. Despite fears of it not happening and an extension, it seems that we Transformers fans have done the impossible and that makes us mighty. With 1 day, 1 hour and 38 minutes to go, Unicron currently sits at 8,005 backers, pushing it over the 8,000 minimum backers needed to push the figure into production. 2021 just became a whole lot more interesting for all of us and I'm sure that everyone else here is looking forward to the official announcement that this is going ahead.

  6. I'm not sure why people would be disappointed. Siege Leaders have always essentially been Voyager Class figures with a packed in upgrade/armour kit.
  7. Just a heads up. As of posting this, the first 4 hours of the video you linked to are truncated. It starts right in the middle of the Murder In The Front Row interview.
  8. Oh I'm glad they did it, I just wonder if the redundancy was already built in. I hope it gets though but with how many parts of the fandom are acting, it will amaze me if Hasbro don't just put doing something like this for Transformers fans in the "too hard/too much grief/not worth it" basket with the way so many people have acted. It's like this entire venture has exposed the inner Veruca Salt of far too many people in the community, who don't want to understand the intricacies of the toy industry at play here - or that when you break down the materials costs, this is proportionately equal value to a Titan Class figure.
  9. Is it just me, or is it missing a couple of accessories - namely a ramp for jumping and a shark?
  10. What's the bet that much like a false floor in a house, the August 31 deadline was a false deadline that they put out there in the hopes it would get done, but secretly had October 6 as a fallback this whole time, just in case?
  11. That Galvatron figure is massively out of scale when you compare it to the animation in the 1986 movie. They would have been far better off making it the size of the RX-7 that comes with Soul of Chogokin Gunbuster, which from memory is roughly only 0.5cm tall (1/5").
  12. Fantastic news! For those of you in Australia who planned on biting the bullet on Unicron and were worried about shipping it, fear not. Hasbro Australia has teamed up with EB Games Australia to offer it as an exclusive through both themselves and Zing and all orders placed count towards the needed 8,000 backers. The good news is that it's listed at $848 inc GST, with an upfront $100 deposit (refundable if it doesn't go ahead). At a $0.70USD=$1AUD exchange rate, that works out at roughly $600USD inc GST. Given that once GST was factored in, it would cost $632.50USD even before shipping, this means that it's actually cheaper for people in Australia to order it from EB/Zing than it is to order directly from Haslab. Kudos to the Ozformers facebook page for getting the news out there.
  13. That's just it though, I reckon the process of using cad and 3d printing over the traditional approach of initial engineering sketches, sculpting et al, is significantly cheaper, even from a man hours perspective - especially when you consider that edits and revisions can be done to the existing model with relative speed and ease, while previous design revisions can be saved if there is a misstep at any point along the process. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this cut the costs on labour down by anywhere between 33%-50%.
