#TransformersAnimated meets Shattered Glass in the season 4 concept- Mirror Mirror!

A 4-issue comic miniseries coming in 2026

100% in for this!!!

Happy New Year, and today we'll take a quick peek at a "Flip-Flops" from the Transistor Robots toyline (made by Four Star). This is one of those really awesome KO's that came out in the 1980s and reused Transformer molds, and sometimes to great effect.

This toy is a remold of a Jumpstarter figure but with a nearly 100% redesign. It now has bright chrome on the arms and head, new wings, a new chest, and even has missiles in vehicle mode. I absolutely love these old KOs, and Four Star had a way to really make these figures seem over the top and unique.

Today, Four Star figures are semi-common, but you will have to spend a lot of time looking online at junk lots and group listings, as that is where they often pop up. So, have fun and good luck looking for those fun finds.

See you all in 2026.

Quintus Prime #Transformers #AgeOfThePrimes Deluxe

This Prime is one of my favorites yet. Elegant, techno-organic ship mode looks like a squid from the other angle - which is perfect as the ancient ancestor/progenitor of the Quintessons! Colors are vibrant and fitting. Tho the transformation is a little basic - easy to overlook given creativity used in his unique design.

Finally got my hands on a Micronus Prime and am happy to say he lived up to my expectations.

He is one of the 13 Primes, and, as his name suggests, he is the great granddaddy of all Mini-Cons.

What makes this toy so interesting is it's ingenuity. At first glance it's just a regular Transformer, but once you start the transformation, you realize he is actually a weaponizer; that is a figure that disassembles and can be used as parts and pieces on other Transformers as weapons or armor.

Another fun aspect is that the Transformer you see is actually just battle armor around a much smaller figure, the true Micronus Prime. This little guy in his alt mode is just a large circle, a throwback to the 2015 Robots in Disguise Mini-Cons, as well as the PS2 Transformers game based on the Armada series of toys. In that game you could find many cons inside data discs similar to this Alt mode.

All of the armor pieces can then be put together to create a unicycle that looks pretty cool when it's done. Of course the figure can then ride on it. Making him one of the few Transformer figures that also comes with a vehicle, something we don't see too often.

Overall this is a really fun figure. Lots of playability, and my hats off to the designers for having a lot of fun with this. Make sure to look all over the toy as there are lots of ports for weapons as well as other minicons. I'm already seeing tons of videos online of alt modes using other weaponizers combined with this figure to make some neat looking toys.

Erik with ToyRobot Magazine and here is your quick write-up for the day. Age of the Primes Venin.

Based on the original 1980s G1 toy Venom, this toy is another great example of the toy designers attention to detail. What is more surprising is that we even get to have this figure as he is based on another property, something that has prevented him from being released over these many years.

The colors are wonderful, and the transparent plastic really makes the figure pop. He has a gun, as well as an axe, both of which can combine to create a larger axe. The only real downfall of this figure is the wing placement, which hinders the arms from moving to his side, however this is exactly how the original G1 toy was so is it really a setback?

The insect mode is pretty basic, with the biggest change being the proboscis now sits underneath the body instead of forward from the head like the G1 toy. I feel that this is a little bit of a let down as I always liked the proboscis facing forward and made the toy look more menacing. But I suppose this is maybe more accurate to the real life insect?

I don't have many of the Insecticons at the moment, so I was super happy to find this guy. He continues the long trend that we have of G1 toys being remade in the modern era and should be a welcome addition to anyone's collection.

2026 Age of the Primes figures revealed at display in China: G1 Powerglide, Swerve, TF:Prime Smokescreen, Animated Ratchet

Via Autobase Aichi - translated Japanese

On Chinese SNS, there are images of items that seem to be the 2026 product of Age of the Prime on display.

The mention that it was exhibited at an offline event held by China's Huzbro in Shanghai. In China, new products have been introduced for a long time at private events that invited some related parties in the past, and this time it will be the same.

For now, it is not officially released to the general public, and I think it will be positioned as a leak image.

In this image, the animated ratchet, which is considered to be a deluxe class as the first item. You can see the Prime Smoke Screen, G1 Swarb, and G1 Power Glide. In addition, the Prime Cliff Jumper, which was released as part of the set product in the past, is on display as a single item.

The ratchet seems to be shared with the Earth Rise version of the Trail Breaker and some parts.

Erik with ToyRobot Magazine and I have just a quick write up today uper with a fun little addition to "the Archive".

This toy robot, "Buggy & Robot", is an example of an early 1980s one-off toy. These were made to cash in on the transforming robot craze and came out in the very early 80s and were available in multitudes of ways, from drug stores to Christmas catalogs. This particular bot was one of at least three designs that were created. They had at least two to three releases that I am aware of. With each release having minor changes to either the controller or the vehicle itself.

These electric transforming bots go forward with a push of a button and then can transform is a second button, which was pretty cool to us kids in the 1980s. Today they are notorious for having loose wiring that will need to be modified to make them work again.

Another claim to fame for these transforming remote control bots, which I should mention are small in size, was that they were re-released under the Argentinian transformer line. All three were released with the sub header "Eletrix" specifically this one was known as "Eletrix Jipe". Under the Argentinian line this figure was available in blue.

These remain a rather forgotten toy even though they will crop out from time to time and junk lots like the one that I found. Until next time, y'all have a wonderful holiday season.

Enter the Fuzors! - Age of the Primes Deluxe QUICKSTRIKE #BeastWars #Transformers

Reminds me of why I loved the Beast Wars era of toys as much as I did - both modes carry so much personality! This figure jumps right off the screen and into plastic form. Pose-able, well deco’ed, perfect head sculpts in both modes. It’s also an upgrade to the original (as mich as i love that toy too…), replacing the previous translucent yellow plastic with a beautiful opaque bright gold…. It’s just a perfect representation of the character and I’m am 💯 % in to it.

Disregard the inflation and tarriff raised ridiculous prices of deluxe toys these days. No Beast Wars fan will want to miss this one.

I bought the first Robeson Optimus. Used it a couple of times and then set it aside, thinking I probably wouldn’t buy more. But Soundwave as a fully functional working audio player… TEMPTING!

New Transformers Age of The Primes Preorders are now available! Onslaught is a must have for me, I think he looks amazing. This new Bruticus combiner just may be the best combiner figure to date! I am also looking forward to a potential Ruination repaint.

Is that Armada Sideways!? Looks amazing! I still have the original which I always loved but really wanted more articulation and now we have it. I can't wait to add this new Sideways to my Armada collection.

Which of these two are you most excited for? Onslaught? Sideways? Or maybe both?
