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 just found this 4-pack a few hours ago before opening my shop. So I don't have time to do a full write-up. I super love these four packs that they have been doing, and they have been a lot of fun. Obviously, that price point definitely hurts.
Ultra Magnus is amazing, though getting his legs to clip together in vehicle mode was super annoying.
Horri-Bull is fun, and it's weird to still see the headmasters being made this far out from several years ago. This guy definitely has some flaws, including the fact that his arms are supposed to tab into his body in animal mode but good luck with that, I spent a half hour on trying to figure it out and gave up. I'm always down for extra Transformers though, so a headmaster is always welcome.
Bumper, not much needs to be said. A wonderful toy and always cool to see him represented.
Nemesis prime looks amazing in robot mode, but his transformation was finicky and frustrating. I still can't get the top of the cab to fit snugly or tab in, so it is what it is.
Overall I would definitely say this is an 8 out of 10 for a set

#StudioSeries Airachnid #TransformersOne
I’m such a fan of this film and this character was a surprising and welcomed addition to the cast.
Not thrilled we all had to wait so long after the film release to finally getting a quality Studio Series edition of the character. But yo! better late than never(!🤘) And this one is worth the wait.
Head sculpt is perhaps the most important aspects of toy design for me - it delivers! Legs are surprisingly pose-able, considering the very slender dimensions and somehow manages to stand without losing balance and falling- despite the high heels and screen accurate high-mass backpack.
Vehicle is unique in Transformers and completely (screen accurate) nutso! (I love it!) Transformation is fun without being overly complex or time consuming. My only critique is the deco. Should be a shiny jet black, instead of the steely grey that it is. No biggie, this just means I have a fun toy painting weekend project ahead of me!

Erik at ToyRobot Magazine with with something fun today.
What a morning! I was lucky enough to find Onyx Prime sitting on a shelf in Target and had to nab him up. I've been waiting quite a while for this guy to come out, and he is one of the most anticipated figures out of the 13 Primes for myself. His centaur mode is reminiscent of Saint Seiya or any number of old 70s and '80s robots. And that was a huge driving force for me to add this to the collection.
Let's start off with the robot mode. This is a super solid and fun figure. The wings on the back are fully poseable in this mode and look great. He has a good range of movement, though you may find yourself struggling a little bit with his legs. He can carry his spear, but I wish the hand would close a little bit more. His face looks really neat inside this giant bird like helmet.
His next mode is a centaur as mentioned above. And as mentioned above this is a throwback to one of many manga, anime, robot figures in the past. In this mode his tail opens up to become a bow and the spear now serves as the arrow. It can be a little bit clumsy while on the figure but from a distance it does look good. Again the wings in this mode are fully posable. You'll also find that he has a massive range of movement in centaur mode, and I was able to get an action pose. You'll notice nothing is holding it up, it's balanced on its own while rearing up on the rear legs!
Finally the third mode, a six-legged dragon like creature. An unadvertised option allows you to make this a four-legged dragon so you can take your pick of what look you prefer. This is a great mode and a lot of fun. Onyx prime may be one of the most unique triple changers to come out in a long time.
Overall, this figure may have worked his way into my top 10 favorite transformers. I absolutely love this thing. It's solid, it's fun, it's easy to transform, and it has an amazing look to it. It may be too far to say that this is a master class in toy making, but I feel like it's a really close.

Hey everyone, Erik with ToyRobot Magazine. Let's start the day off with something super fun. A vintage G1 3D Stand Up jigsaw puzzle featuring Bluestreak. This toy was offered by Warren and may possibly be one of the coolest transformer items ever made in the G1 era.
Warren made two of these puzzles, one of Bluestreak and one of Starscream. When put together they would depict a beautiful battle scene. The puzzles had oddly shaped pieces and could provide a little bit of a challenge for a younger child.
Once the puzzle was put together, they would then flip it over revealing a new challenge. On the reverse was a setup that looked like a flat model kit, because essentially, that's what it was.
The child would have to follow the included instructions, carefully punching out these pieces and reassembling them. That means some of these puzzle pieces would have to be removed from the surroundings and then reattach to other pieces. In its own right this is one of the coolest aspects of this toy, puzzle pieces that had to fit not only in their correct place once, but twice! I couldn't begin to tell you how someone would plan that out or make that work, but once you start doing it and everything starts fitting together it's mind-boggling and really fun.
Then you would be left with a layout of several connected pieces, some of which had scored joints, another incredible aspect of the puzzle. These fragile pieces had to be able to bend and move ever so slightly to make the toy work.
After this you would create the car, now a 3D construct and pretty decent looking overall. On mine it was impossible to get one of the doors to stay shut but judging from the pictures on the box they were always meant to be slightly ajar.
The final piece of this puzzle was a third mode. Now you would take the car apart and reassemble it to create a 3D stand up version of the figure. This can be rather frustrating as it is very fragile, difficult to get things to stay together, and clumsy. Trying to get the arms to stay on was the most frustrating part on my end.
At the end of the day this is a rather common piece, which can be obtained online from anywhere from $20 to $40. Finding them in good condition can be a little bit tougher, as mentioned earlier, these pieces are fragile and you have to do a lot of taking apart and reassembling and that can cause heavy wear and tear on the toy.
I was very lucky to find this recently at an antique shop for only $10, thanks to my father's eagle eyes for pointing it out. Imagine finding a G1 toy for only $10! And even after 40 years this item still blows my mind. I'm not saying it's a perfect toy, but if I was a little child in the 1980s this definitely would have been one of my favorite pieces in my collection. Whoever designed this, you are a genius!

Hot off the heels of the announcement of BotCon's returning in 2021 under the new management of BC Productions (an all new company run by such BotCon veterans as Karl Hartman, Andrew Hall, Mike Tinnel, and more, created for the specific purpose of acquiring the rights to BotCon from Fun Publications) comes a few updates regarding this year's RoboCon, which has been carrying BotCon's torch in the meantime. Namely, RoboCon 2020 will be held on June 5-6 at the Galt House in Louisville, KY, the very same hotel that played host to the last official BotCon in 2016. Registration has also gone live, with two registration packages available this year. The standard registration package for this year is a remarkably affordable $25.00! The second option, meanwhile, is a special " BotCon 2021 Pre-Party Exclusive Pack" that features access to a special Friday night party celebrating the next year's return of BotCon, an exclusive BotCon convention T-shirt featuring a "Neo-Classic" BotCon logo, a special vintage BotCon logo themed lanyard, and best of all, a 144-page Ultimate BotCon Product Guide Volume 1 w/ Exclusive convention cover, limited to 300 pieces. That one is priced at $98.00 (more than previous RoboCons but far less than any Fun Pub BotCons ever were). ...

For the past few days, suspicious activity has been going on at the late BotCon.com with the site undergoing some sort of reconstruction. Now, the site has been relaunched with a new makeover and the announcement that BotCon, the once official Transformers convention, is coming back under the new management of BC Productions, for the Summer of 2021! This news comes formally from Karl Hartman, one of the original organizers of the con who helped in its creation back in 1994 and continued to help run it from 1996 to 2002. Allspark.com has posted the full announcement from Hartman, which can be read below: ...

On August 17, 2019, UK fan convention TFNation played host to a most momentous occasion in which Transformers Animated story editor Marty Isenberg presented a scripted performance of the original story treatment outline for what would have been the three-part season 4 premiere of Transformers Animated had it been greenlit for a fourth season. Titled "Trial of Megatron" (as opposed to The AllSpark Almanac II, The Complete AllSpark Almanac, and Issue #71 of the TCC Magazine titling it "The Trial of Megatron"), the outline for this three-parter was presented not as a live script reading done in the style of those performed at BotCons of years past, but was instead presented with pre-recorded dialogue acted by almost the entire Animated voice cast (only Tara Strong and Judd Nelson were absent, with their respective roles of Sari Sumdac and Rodimus Prime performed by other people) and set to all new original artwork created for the story by fan artists. ...

Mere days after the previous news of the sudden passing of voice actor Michael Lindsay comes the unfortunate news of voice actor Robert Axelrod having passed away yesterday, September 7, 2019, at the age of 70. This news comes to us from Facebook of Mobile Monicker Productions, who represented Axelrod for his many convention appearances. Axelrod is best known for having provided the voices of Lord Zedd, Finster, and other monsters on Power Rangers, as well as several English dub anime voice roles, such as Wizardmon, Vademon, Armadillomon, Ankylomon, and Shakkoumon (w/ Dave Mallow) on Digimon, and Rico on Robotech. He also voiced Marvel Comics character Microchip in the Punisher episodes of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, and appeared in live action on an episode of Family Matters where he played a Paul McCartney lookalike. For Transformers, he was the voice of Movor in the 2001 Transformers: Robots in Disguise cartoon. One of the Decepticon Commandos, Movor was the space shuttle member who could form an arm or leg for the combiner Ruination. He was also one of the very few Commandos to star in his own spotlight episode, "Attack from Outer Space", which had the misfortune of being one of the three episodes that was banned from ever airing on TV in the United States due to sensitivities from the September 11 attacks in 2001. Rest in peace, Mr. Axelrod. Your performances were a treasure to behold. ...

It is with deep sadness that we must report that, on August 31, 2019, voice actor Michael Lindsay passed away at the age of 56. This news comes to us from the Twitter accounts of Trevor Dylan, Rob Benoit, and Marissa Lenti. Best known for his work in anime dubbing, Lindsay provided the English dub voices for the likes of Joe Kido and Greymon in Digimon Adventure, Rick in DinoZaurs, Kankuro in Naruto, Kisuke Urahara in Bleach, Shinichirō Tamaki in Code Geass, and more. For Transformers, he was best known as the voices of Skid-Z ("skids") and Rollbar in the 2001 Transformers: Robots in Disguise cartoon. Skid-Z was an Autobot racer who had an unusually high competitive edge, always needing to win every race he could, so much that he would enter any race of any kind, including car racing, bicycle racing, or even foot racing. Rollbar, meanwhile, was the green jeep member of the Decepticon Commandos, able to form an arm or leg of the combiner Ruination, and had a thick southern drawl and an easygoing demeanor, always cracking wise whenever he felt like it. Rest in peace, Mr. Lindsay. You will be missed, dearly. ...

The year was 1999. For the Western World, it was the year of Beast Wars season 3, the year of Beast Machines season 1, the year of the 15th Anniversary of The Transformers. For Japan, however, it was the year of Beast Wars Neo! The second Japanese-original Beast Wars animated series, Beast Wars Neo sees a small group of Cybertrons (Maximals) led by Big Convoy go on a star trek to hunt for Angolmois Capsules containing an unholy energy source, which is also sought by the Destrons (Predacons) led by Magmatron. And now, twenty years later in 2019, anime fansubbing group Karyuudo Fansubs has at last announced their long-awaited release of all 35 episodes of Beast Wars Neo with English fan-subtitles!

After the brand unification between Hasbro and TakaraTomy kicked off with Power of the Primes and Studio Series (and will continue with Siege), Takara's Transformers: Legends line continues to persist with another forthcoming TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. This time, however, it is not a recent mold release, but a soon-to-be 20-year-old mold from 1999. Seeming to coincide with the Transformers Encore reissue of the cartoon-accurately-colored Big Convoy, the next LG-EX release will be a redeco of that figure in the form of Blue Big Convoy! Much like the Encore release of Unicron (Micron Shūgō-tai Color), this is a recreation of what was once a super rare Lucky Draw figure from 1999. However, also like Unicron (Micron Shūgō-tai Color), it is not a straight recreation, as this version will have less translucent plastic with two opaque arms instead of one solid and one clear. More recently, the old Lucky Draw figure was actually repurposed in comics made for e-HOBBY's Magna Convoy exclusive as the leader of a legendary group known as the Primus Vanguard. While it remains to be seen whether this Legends release of Blue Big Convoy will fictionally represent Big Convoy himself in a new form, the Primus Vanguard leader remains another distinct possibility for this toy's character identity. Legends LG-EX Blue Big Convoy will be released by TakaraTomy Mall in February 2019. ...

The Transformers: Encore line of reissues has been dabbling in some post-G1 figures as of late, beginning with God Fire Convoy from Car Robots and to be continuing with Returns Convoy for Beast Wars Returns (Beast Machines). Now, a third post-G1 Encore toy has been revealed and is the first one to truly be from a completely non-G1 continuity altogether. Its name is Unicron (Micron Aggregate Color). A redeco of the Armada Unicron mold, this is not the Chaos Bringer himself, but a green copy of him that was formed by a massive amount of Mini-Cons combining together as one, to fight against their evil creator in the final few episodes of the Transformers: Armada cartoon, hence the "Micron Aggregate Color" label ("Micron" being the Japanese term for "Mini-Con"). Previously, in 2004, a toy of this "Unicron of Light" had been released in limited quantities as a Lucky Draw figure over in Japan, but this Encore release will not only see a much wider release but will also sport a vastly different deco from the Lucky Draw, being almost completely green and turquoise instead of the Lucky Draw being half-teal/half-gray. Unicron (Micron Aggregate Color) is set for release in December 2018. Official images can be found below, courtesy of Autobase Aichi. ...
