MP-59 Beast Wars Rhinox is in stock and ready to ship from TFSOURCE!

Are any of you planning on adding this figure into your collection? Its a must have for any MP BW collection.

Another Transformers X project has been revealed; this time is with Naruto!

I think fans around the world are either for or against this one; I'm not a Naruto fan, but these look incredible and it's interesting to see what parts and pieces were reused and which parts look to be new.

Up for grabs on multiple sites!

Erik here from ToyRobot Magazine!

It's been a while since I've had chance to do a write up, so buckle up and let's take a look at the legendary GoBots Monsterous! I apologize for the poor pictures, I do not have the room at the moment to set up a proper "photo booth".

GoBots may get a lot of hate, but any true robot fan will tell you that this line has stood the test of time and often had incredible transformation for their size. Their storied history goes back to the Machine Robo line in Japan and their goal of creating small and affordable transforming robots for the public.

That series had a very different cartoon (or anime) than what was presented to the rest of the world. It featured incredible animation, a decent story, and some pretty awesome battle scenes.

What puts a cloud over the GoBots for most was the terribly childish Hanna-Barbera Cartoon and Tonka's way of handling the toys. They felt the cartoon was far too violent for America and instead of looking forward at upcoming cartoon trends of the early 1980s, they opted for safer concepts from the 1970s.

In Japan many figures had rather unimaginative names: Bike Robo, Forklift Robo, Double-Decker Bus Robo; you get the idea. However, a few unique names did exist as well: Casmodon, Falgos, and Zarios; these were often for non-earth vehicles. Tonka, rightfully, thought these name would not work well and instead came up with new names. Unfortunately, this would be done in such a over the top way it helped kill the line out of the gate. Cy-Kill (a motorcycle), Scooter (a scooter), Spay-C (a space shuttle, and Tux (a limo). These on-the-nose names, coupled with a cartoon that felt too childish even for children is the true stain on the GoBots.

The toys however, remained more or less the same as their Japanese counterparts minus some paint applications. These were very small in size, well engineered, and far cheaper at retail than their Transformers rivals. Also, again, it has to be mentioned that Gobots beat Transformers to market.

With the micro lesson done, off to the races with what has to be one of the best looking sets of figure ever released for the GoBot line.

Monsterous is one of the very few combiner robots in the line and comprised of six individual figures and was the antithesis of the combiner Puzzler. The team consists of Fangs, Fright Face, Gore Jaw, Heart Attack, South Claw, and Weird Wing. Each figure was sold individually and there was also a very rare box set with all six figures. All the figures are roughly the same size (aprx 4" or 10cm) and are made from metal and plastic, making them solid and hefty in design.

Each bot transforms into a crazy looking spaceship and these bots feature some of the best overall detailing of any GoBots ever made. Every little bit feels like it has a purpose of design and they were made to feel creepy and menacing.

Fangs forms a leg for the combiner and is tan in color. His spaceship mode is stiff looking but has a great sci-fi feel to it. The robot mode is one of the least inventive of the team and is limited by his design to become a leg. His face seems uneventful into you really start looking at it. Multiple eyes surround what looks to be a long proboscis stretching down the length of his body.

Fright Face is the leader of the team and forms the upper body of the combiner and is dark blue with accents of silver. In robot made is stunted in play value (as are all of these bots) and again, it's due to their design to become a combiner. He has a slight H. R. Giger look to him with conduits playing across his body and a black oval face that instills terror. His spaceship mode has a space-jet feel to it and may be one of the weaker looks of the team.

Gore Jaw (what a great name) is light blue in color and forms the other leg for Monsterous. In robot mode his single red eye takes up half of his face while his fanged maw takes up the rest. Another nice accent is the red spikes on his shoulders as well as his

It's a great movie. What fans have been wanting forever. A story in Cybertron with only Transformers.

Don't miss out!!!!

Who else is super excited for Haslab Omega Prime!?

Check out this exclusive first look at an EP1 of Omega Prime aka God Fire Convoy!

Available for preorder now! Threezero does some truly great work 👏 Check out that finish! I love that this figure is able to be displayed as Orion or Optimus.

"MDLX Optimus Prime/Orion Pax stands approximately 6 1/3 inches (16 cm) tall and has approximately 46 points of articulation. Accessories include an energon axe, two interchangeable heads (Orion Pax and Optimus Prime with battle mask), four pairs of interchangeable hands including relaxed, command, weapon holding, and fists!

To recreate the mesmerizing changes in physique after receiving his cog of conversion, threezero's MDLX Optimus Prime/Orion Pax comes with two sets of chest and shoulder parts – all with threezero's top-notch metallic finishes, allowing for easy switching between the two forms. This highly poseable action figure is easily able to recreate memorable action scenes from the movie!

MDLX is a smaller-scale action figure series created by threezero. With components consisting of special die-cast alloy alongside an engineering-grade plastics frame, the MDLX series perfectly demonstrates its high levels of articulation, playability, durability, and superior in-hand feel. All at a highly affordable price making them a must-have for all Transformers collectors.

Add to your threezero collection and order your MDLX Transformers One Optimus Prime/Orion Pax today at TFSource!"

The toy is a solid figure, from the standpoint of articulation and screen (sculpt) accuracy. Transformation is fun, without being overly complicated. Truck mode is also a cool new take on Cybertronian alt-mode. Of course, the film won me over!

My only gripes would be that I definitely want it to be bigger. He really needs to be Voyager/Leader scale to stand, significantly head-and-shoulders above other deluxe figures. Also, re: the deco. What’s there is passable, but by the time OP shows up in the film, he is shiny and glorious. Reds, silver and blue should be vac-metalized, or at least given a few layers of automotive paint to make it SHINE. For a first version of OP, I’ll take it for now, until something bigger (and I’m fine with more expensive) comes along!

I’ve seen the film 3 times now and I enjoy it more with each successive viewing. Initial photo here alongside Yolo Park Orion Pax.

Erik here (ToyRobot Magazine) with a short write-up today!

In a rather strange collaboration, Transformers has teamed up with Core Nutritionals to create a series of products. The line will include three supplements (Allspark, Energon, and Proton), 2 shirts, and a shaker.

Allspark, Protron, and the Shaker will each feature 3 different designs for 12 unique items.

The supplements, and possibly the shaker (the website is a bit unclear), will include 1 random metal figure from the Jada Nano Metals line, technically making this a three-way collab.

There are 32 figures to collect, all of which have been released before through Series 1-3 of the line.

The best Generations G1 style Optimus Prime figure to date!

Legendary Autobot Leaders! Which one of them is your favorite?

Obviosly everyone loves Optimus Prime including myself but I'd have to say Rodimus Prime is my personal favorite. I enjoy how he is a flawed character that buckles under the massive weight of being in a position of leadership, trying to fill the shows of a seemingly near perfect predessor. Rodimus experiences a significant amount of character growth and development although handled poorly in the end.

I think that it would have been alot better if Optimus returned in a more advisory role to Rodimus as opposed to completely replacing him as Autobot Supreme Commander.

Transformers Studio Series 86 Leader Class Springer

After the magnificence that is Siege Springer was added to my collection, I felt like we wouldn't be getting another G1 style Springer for a very, very, very long time. To me Siege Springer was great and besides maybe a clean version, I didn't see any need for another G1 Springer....but then there was 86 Springer who is better even if just by a little bit.

SS86 Springer shares alot with Siege Springer but there's also a few new molds, new parts, more filled in and of course the accessories. The articulation is the same(great), transformation is mostly the same(fun) but even more G1. This new Springer is even closer to screen accurate so where as Siege was great, this one takes it even further.

I love the inclusion of the missle from that iconic scene, it would be cool if they also made the catapult and gave it a unique robot mode.

I personally have Siege Springer on the Cybertron alt mode / pre Earth Shelf and 86 Springer on my post Cybertron shelf, there's a place for both in my personal opinion but what about you? How do you feel about SS86 Springer? Is this a figure that you'd like to add to your collection?

Erik with TRM and what a great day to bring y'all some news!

In what might be one of the greatest announcements in Transformers history (yes, I'll dare go that far), Takara Tomy has announced a new crossover series with T-Spark Synergenex. They just released a great video (link below). This new crossover series is coming out of the gate fast with several incredible items coming later this year and into 2025.

* Transformers/Diaclone/Zoids, Shield D Prime. This Zoids Liger can transform into Optimus Prime as well as be piloted by a modern Diaclone driver, making this compatible with their incredible line of toys. After 40+ years, Convoy will have a Diaclone Driver again!

* A double offering of Godzilla/Transformers crossovers. First is Optimus Prime Type 3 MFS-3 Kiryu (an homage to the 2000s era Mechagodzilla and a Laser Optimus repaint); and Megatron Type Godzilla (a Grimlock repaint). Since Transformers and Godzilla are my two fave things in this universe, I'm bouncing off the wall with excitement.

* Next was a silhouette of an upcoming Transformers/Macross 7 figure. Most likely another Prime as this seems to be the trend here.

* the final announcement was a "coming soon" for a Transformers/Monster Hunter figure. Your guess is as good as mine as there are a LOT of options here.

Going into Non-Transformers news covered in the same video, Zoids are back with some new crossovers as well!

* A double offering of Zoids/Spider-Man Spider mechs that can be ridden by action figures. One will be in the classic red and blue color scheme, while the other will honor the Black Suit design. These will be the same toy overall, just repainted.

* Another "coming soon" offering was a Zoids/Monster Hunter project. Again, who knows what this will be?

* The final announcement, "coming soon" is a Zoids/Patlabor. This will no doubt be a highly sought-after toy as Patlabor remains one of the all-time classics.

In the "I can't believe that happened" category, my father recently found this Transformers Hide & Play tent at a local thrift store for $3! I'm over the moon as this will be my second copy of this tent (my other one has a rough box) so this will allow me to eventually display one with the box and one fully put together; again...when I have the space!

This play tent is gorgeous and made from a pretty durable silk/nylon material and the colors and design are bright and vibrant. I never had a play tent like this as a kid but luckily, my wife did. So we took some time tonight and put it together for some pictures.

So many characters are on this: Grimlock, Prowl, Bumblebee, Whirl, Mirage, Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker, Smokescreen, Soundwave, Laserbeak (or maybe Buzzsaw), and some hilarious-looking Insecticons.

If I had this as a kid I think it would have been one of my most loved items; I know I treasured my Transformers and Star Wars sheets back in the day just because of their cool designs, so this would have been way up there.

Transformers artifacts from the 1980s are getting hard to find, and to have found one nearly 40 years later in near-perfect shape is a nice surprise. Big thank you to the man, my dad, Doug!
