FansToys Sever (MP not-Snarl) first prototype pics!
With their track record of Quakewave and Scoria, and the upcoming Soar (MP not-Swoop) this one looks like a no-brainer for any MP fan

So why won’t Hasbro release something like that? Damn…

  • :bluu:

GET HYPE HOMESLICES!!

Hasbro version of MP 10 Optimus to be reissed through Hasbro Asia.

BBTS has a preorder for it coming out mid - November for $160.

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK11952&mode=retail

I dont have MP 10 at all and the online prices for even the hasbro version are 300 minimum. Takara 400+ lol
I’m very tempted to get this and even though the year of the horse version is out here in USA, it looks goofy IMO.

Easy, Profit. HasTakTomy has to put resources in to do these, with toy laws in place. While us collectors don’t care, I can tell the fault tolerance differences between the HasTakTomy and the 3P figures. 3P makers can turn something out on the drop of the dime. I do hope they realize that these companies are getting better at making things almost as good in structure and better in look than they are.

The MP line really needs to oscillate between Autobot and Decepticon. It was doing a good job starting from MP 10 - 18

MP-10 - Prime
MP-11 - Starscream
MP-12 - Sideswipe
MP-13 - Soundwave
MP-14 - Red Alert
MP-15 - Ravage & Rumble (Frenzy)
MP-16 - Buzzsaw and Frenzy (Rumble)
MP-17 - Prowl
MP-18 - Bluestreak

Then they go stupid one sided again!

MP-19 - Smokescreen
MP-20 - Wheeljack
MP-21 - Bumblebee
MP-22 - Ultra Magnus

I just hope the next 4 are Decepticons.

And there you have it. The real reason why Optimus Prime was killed. . . . .

While Hasbro is back in my good graces (for the most part), they really earned the title ā€œRaper of childhoodā€ with this. I think they learned their lesson as this practically killed the show and almost killed the brand. At least he went out like a G. Only Dinobot (BW) has a death that probably comes close to this.

That Dinobot toy is… actually more-or-less show-accurate scale wise, lol.
Impressive!

BRAIN SET!

The more people that know about this, the better.

^War for Cybertron Omega Supreme done by a 3rd party, shit’s godlike.

Outside of the flames, I like the movie designs for Optimus Prime. However, this is funny

Kotaku did an article on the PSX Prime. The article has some nice closeups

Ooh very nice homage to Marvel G1 #75 on this RID cover…

So they are renaming the comics TF RID to just TF because they are naming the new show TF RID. Ugh.

That cover is great, was one of the best moments in TF comics.

The G1 OST was done by Grimbot several years ago, but has some sound artifacts from the show. This dude is working to recreate the G1 TV Show OST, and is doing a kickstarter to fund it.

Check out his examples of the work so far

Think about all the money that the AOE line has saved you. Throw it this way! I’m gonna at least chip $5 in. Share this and make it work!

That throwback/modern cover art, yooo.
Reminds me of the one with Shockwave and ā€œThe Transformers are all dead.ā€

Speculation:

someone on the tfw forums posted that the RID comic has prowl with a more ā€œtrucklikeā€ alt mode.

Now look at the upcoming Off-road aka Wildrider toy of the Stunticons…

Perhaps prowl will be remolded from him , and possibly even be part of a new Devestator gestalt?

DUN DUN DUNNN!!!

AOE Bluray to hit September 30.

Also, Hasbro and Toysrus brought out Transformers Cars G1 Prowl to FanExpo in Toronto .
It looks to be based on the mp Prowl.

I am getting AOE on sight. I thought it was pretty solid, with the exception of the Galvatron plot. . . . . 30 min wasted IMO.

Star Saber core robot comparison

Figure will also have a working Brainmaster gimmick. The difference this time is that the face is stored in the core robot vs the master. This allows for more articulation.
