Transformers HasLab Victory Saber Live Stream with Voice Actor Christopher Sabat
dubbing the Victory series would be awesome. oh how sweet it would be if they dubbed all 3 japanese series. I absolutely hate trying to watch the show while reading what is being said. Totally ruins the experience when you cant really watch the show because you are reading text.

HasLab Victory Saber Officially Hits 75% Funded Mark - LET's SAY GO!
I hope the count doesn't include non-pulse orders. To be honest I'm surprised this is puttering along like it is. I expected this to be funded in a few days. It's big, its way cheaper than unicron and its a figure a lot of people have been clamoring about. Yet we haven't even made it to the funded goal and there is no way we are going to make the top tier. Hasbro needs to show some color photos, even if they are digitial renders, tell us what all tier unlocks are and do some friggin marketing! the fans first reveals for transformers are so damn terrible. the guy with the beard looks like he wants to take a nap rather than show off new content and the reveals are so lame compared to GI joe and Marvel legends. These guys really need to get off their asses and show this franchise some love and get the excitement going.

Transformers G1 Super Cyborg Bumblebee Clear Version Coming Soon
what the french! shelf warmers indeed. its bad enough all figures i've seen in retail for this line are shelf warming, but another bumble bee to add to the peg. It's not like we arent still seeing the "gold bug" version still warming those pegs. If the R.E.D. figures aren't getting rave reviews why would they think a lesser articulated, smaller version would be any better? Ugh, this pisses me off to no end. It's bad enough that the crappy cyberverse line is warming the pegs, then the buzzworthy crap (not the 4 pack or cybertronian bee) but even more junk to make it look like they have stock. How about we cut every transformers line from retail except the main line (WFC) and the deluxe cyberverse figures (though some of those are still keeping those pegs cozy) and stop producing BS lines like buzzworthy to rerelease stuff. you want a kid friendly line? no. No one buys them. Or, how about putting them in the kiddie section where the rescue bots are. At least then the bare shelves of useful figures wouldn't look like its still got stock. I could kick a goat right now.

Takara Transformers Kingdom Red Alert New Official Images & Details
i got this version of red alert but i am on the fence on how i feel about him. All other characters are getting their G1 cartoon color scheme. The Siege version also sported a more G1 scheme. Then they release this guy with a more toy deco. I wont say i dont like it, because I do. I like the red, it kinda plays off his name, but then there is the G1 fanboy in me that says "WTF Hasbro!". seriously a kick in the balls here. Now that isnt to say with a pin punch/soldiering iron i cant pop some pins and reconfigure to get a more G1 deco....i just shouldnt have to.

Transformers Fan First Friday August 13th LIVE News Stream Today!
totally lame. Love perceptor, i dig coronation starscream (even though i can 3d print the added stuff). but everything else was lame. Stuff that has been leaked and reviewed not even touched. If they really wanted to wow people they should have shown a dinobot or blaster. And those games. bleh. every transformer games i've played on mobile has been junk money grabbers. No one came for the games. reminded me of the blizzard disaster "don't you have phones". the chat spoke for itself. And what exactly was supposed to be "PRIME"? more robosen orders?

New Icon Heroes Transformers G1 Unicron, Grimlock, Ironhide, Soundwave, More Accessories
that unicron head is bad ass. I would totally get that.....if it were less than $60. I dont think i could justify a $60 pen holder that looks like is only able to hold about 5 pens.

Hasbro Pulse Releases New Transformers (Sort Of)
its sad that they were doing a pretty good job with reveals last year, but man when everything gets leaked before they official reveal it, and they did those reveals with all the excitement and trying to build hype, it was just ruined cuz we already knew about it. It was all like Hasbro: look at this bumble bee!!!! its so exciting!! us: seen it Hasbro: here is grimlock!!! holy cow!! whos getting excited?!!! us: seen it, how about something that wasnt leaked.

WFC Solus Prime
ty. It was a fun custom to make.

WFC Solus Prime
For this custom I chose to use WFC Chromia. Her design was just too damn good not to use. For bot mode I did the same mod I did for my Nightbird to remove the vehicle kibble. Doing so gives a few extra "unused" parts for a nice sleek and clean look. For the deco I decided to use the TR design because it just looked much better than the covenant. First up is bot mode. The hammer is a completely new design by me 3D printed to resemble that of the hammer from TR Solus. Its not an exact duplicate and there is a reason. Also designed by me are the added shoulder pads and the skirt crotch piece on the front also 3d printed. Now if you recall I mentioned that the kibble I removed were "unused". Well they can be, and are completely unnecessary but, where is the fun in that. The leg kibble actually becomes part of the hammer. I really liked the TF Prime hammer from the show and how big it was and almost used it but this was just too good. If you want a small hammer, don't use the parts. If you want a larger hammer, use the parts. It's almost like a super mode. Now what about the other parts? Well you cant be a blacksmith wielding a hammer and creating things with metal without an anvil! And so, I give you Solus' anvil to go along with her hammer. She uses this to forge her weapons for her fellow Primes to use in the battle with Unicron. And if you were wondering yes, she can still wear her bits on her back to take her anvil with her. For the skirt piece I originally made this as one piece but this posed a problem of when she bends at the knee. I really didn't want to have this big thing sticking out when she kneels so I broke it into 3 pieces and added hinge joints. Now when she bends, it does too. I've taken the alt mode of Chromia and turned her into a hover vehicle. Do you notice those hammer parts? This mode is pretty much completely unchanged from the original vehicle mode except I rotated the waist, opened the back half and added the hammer bits. Because I incorporated 5mm ports, they are blast effect compatible. The hammer halves have become the front turbines and because they are on 5mm ports they can swivel for directional adjustments while in flight. The handle and pommel become a rear thruster that looks like tubing for exhaust. Looking at the underside view the skirt nicely covers the legs and you can see the blast effect in the front turbine as well as the new turbines I modeled to replace the rear wheels. And of course a group shot of the Primes I've completed thus far.
