Its so hard to keep up on these 3rd party ones, but wasn't there a army builder set of mini Sharkticons that didn't transform? Whatever happened to that? There were some other ones that Igear was working on, I guess they decided to make them Transform now Hmm - I believe it was always meant to transform, but it was a different design, though.

Third party shop iGear has finally unveiled the prototype of their upcoming TF-005 Shark Sentry (Not Sharkticon). The product was first revealed in September of last year. iGear appears to have added many details, articulation, and enough robot action to make this a fully a posable transforming robot. Take a look at the proto in the full article. Read the Full News Story Here

It was definitely a good alternative to eBay and I sold a decent number of products on there. It was fair and worked well. It is unfortunate they couldn't get enough traction quickly enough. They will be missed.

We will let you know when they are available, but until then, check out these cut little guys after the break. Read the Full News Story Here

In addition to TFC Toys working on a Not-Devastator Hercules Exgraver, the third party custom shop seems to be working on a new combiner based on the Dinobots, according to images posted on the ACToys board. The images appear to be very early design renders of what appear to be adaptations of the Dinobots, showing a dinosaur version of Grimlock, some early transformation ideas of other Dinobots. According to a post by Cheem the Rup at Full Metal Hero, the name of the combiner is tentatively "The Beast." Take a look at the renders after the break. Read the Full News Story Here
