http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-prime-starts-now-bulkhead-soundwave-starscream-and-main-cast-revealed/19880/
Wow has this be a great day for news. First up Takara Tomy announced that theyre doing a voyager version of TFA Ramjet, a figure the USA did not get at all. While i do want this guy, Ramjet will undoubtedly be another repaint of starscream and at leats my sopy of TFA starscream has mold issues on the cockpit automorphing gimmick. i can only imagine people are having the same issue now. but yea, while i am excited about this, i cant justify to myslef paying top dollar to import a glorified overgrown activator. I'll buy the classics ramjet off of ebay.
Now, for once the TV show has outdone the toyline. well a tv show. there was a massively epic TF:Prime reveal earlier today. We got to see alt mode from prime and arcee in full detail, we got to see both modes of bulkhead, we got to see the the decepticon tropper leader, we got to see robot modes for starscream and soundwave, and we got bios on all the robto and human characters. I'm not gonna touch on the bios much, because for the most part, i have no issue with them. I'm gonna touch on the actual photos, which you can see at the second link above or at this one: ( http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/hubworld-official-launch---transformers-prime-character-renders-games-and-more-170643/ )
Let iron out the negatives first. Optimus's alt mode looks bland as F*** from the angel we're given, btu i love the robot mode so i'm excusing the blandness. Soundwave is a big negative for me out of the gate, i'm not feeling the animation model or much of the bio right now. I especially dont like how he looks anorexic and how his hands are designed with relation to his wings. If a toy comes out i can just see the wings being cheap flip-out fragile rubbery hands that are highly visible in alt mode. This design just does not do it for me at all. Starscream is a mild fail for me, i low his bio and his overall aestehtic, but he seems too spindly for a robot at least in my tastes. I cant help but get the feeling that Starscream is a more flamboyantly skinny version of Dr. Frankenfurter from Rock Horror when i look at how thin he is.
sorry if i offenede anyone just then.
Now to thte positives. Everything abotu cliffjumper and Arcee is win. I also really dig the humans and thier bios. Bumblebee is also surpringly enough a win, and i'm nto a fan of movieverse bumblebee (although TF:prime isnt movieverse, its in the WFC continuity but still). but by far and waya the biggest win from TF Prime for me is bulkhead. I cannot put into words how i feel about his desgin, thats how much in love wiht it i am. I'm goign to quote one of my good freinds in the transformers community, Touya (Links after this to his schtuff) on his reaction as it pretty much echoes how i feel " Can I just say right now, Bulkhead, I love you, bro. Good to see you again. Looking good. New polish? Wax? " he continues: " #
Like, it's so awesome, I want to cry when I look at him, because I know he's still the same Bulkhead who I grew to love in TFA....and knowing that his best friend is a girl who teaches him to not be such a softie, that's just an amazing angle for the character. I just love the big and gentle characters, gets me every time. And I can totally see a plotline where the girl is in danger and he goes apeshit, barrels through decepticons, nearly kills Megatron, all to save her, not realizing what he's done till after."
YEa, what more can be said. They don't call Touya the Articulate Gamer for nothing. alhtough this isnt gaming, you get my point. anyway, you can find Touya on the Bulltoid podcast (i'm sure he'll ad a link) as well as on youtube as touya82tt, on his gaming blog, thearticulategamer.blogspot.com . I believe thats everythign he's invovled him, but if i'm wrong, he'll correct me. :)
anyway, thats it for me guys. Thanks for reading, and please leave any comments or feedback below.

Generations and PCC reveals out the Wazzoo!!!
http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/new-images-of-transformers-united-cliffjumper-and-more/19834/
http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/official-images-of-generations-cliffjumper-skullgrin-and-thunderwing/19841/
http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/official-images-of-scout-windcharger-and-brimstone-repaint/19839/
http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/official-images-of-power-core-combiners-grimstone-with-dinobots-and-steamhammer-with-constructicons/19840/

http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/official-images-of-generations-special-ops-jazz-and-turbo-tracks/19843/
commentary:
Ok, so all i really care about in that first link is the cliffjumper and henkei megs. theyre re-ssiues punchign gimmick prime. oy. but yea. theres a rumor they removed the chrome form the original henkei megs and are scaling this re-issues down to a delxe. which is fine by me, as long as it released over here. i'm gonna get him, btu if he's that grey, he's gonna need some gundam marker work.... Now also in the first link, we've got a photo of the robot mode for WFC/Generations/United cliffjumper. Now he is just straight bumblebee repaint, btu the head is different. this was to be expected. oh and btw, United is what theyre calling henkei over in Japan sarting in december. In the second link we have a photo of the alt mode. I'm really digging this clfiffjumper. i already love this mold. so i cant wait to get this guy.
Also in the second link we have reveals for Generations Skullgrin and Thunderwing. I'm diggin skullgrin, even if the mold is so iconically straxxus. I'm really diggin how they updated the head sculpt and made the grey a dark grey and the pink a more purpley pink. I'm really digging skullgrin, but i can see people passing on him. plus i can just come up with a fanboy reason why hsi alt mode is so similar to straxxus'. as for thunderwing, i know jack about this charcater, but this toy is pretty nice. i'm diggin the removable guns from the underside of the jet and how the jet has and energon megatron feel to it. Also, i just really dig the head sculpt and the colorization in the robot mode. this guys probably bought. not right away, but pretty high up there. i really like him
thie third link gives us the image for a brinstone repaint and photos of windcharger. both scouts. I'm gonna be honest. The brinstone repiant does jack S*** for me. It doesnt grab me at all. windcharger looks awesome though. not sure what the magnet ports are for, but he has the 3mm clip points on his arms, so i can give him a gun or something. honestly, all this 3mm clip interaction is really making me want a REcoon Ironhide from ROTF. btu yea. windcharger looks soo awesome. especially for a scout and that pricepoint. i can see him goign real fast.
Briefly befor i proceed, we've also gotten news that theyre goin to re-release generation 2 laserrod optimus prime in generations. this is awesome. this figure was repainted into R>I>D scourge, and the mold is awesome.
ok so for the third to last link up top we finally get massively photshopped photos of the power core combiners (PCC) dinobots set and the same for a constructicons set. I'm really digging both sets, surprisignly as i've not been a fan of this toyline so far. Plus, you cant tell me that having a combiner dinosaur team named "Extinction" (which i'm calling them) is not BAMF.
after that we have images of HFTD mindset and fallback. the latter is suposed to be an homage to Outback from g1, but i just dont see it. plus, they use the movie-verse brawn mold, and as much as i love that figure, its kinda a weak mold overall. Fallback is sadly probably a pass. As for Mindset, i'm not as moved by this figure as i thought i would be. i like the colors, but the missile are still annoying and something about the head sculpt just irks me. i'll probably get this figure, but not right away.
Lastly, we have mroe photos of Tracks and a couple of Jazz. Tracks i wont cover cause i talked about him last night. but wow. Look at that Jazz figure. while the alt mode seems a bit squished in that photos and the head seems a smidge too round, i am seriously digging that figure. its such a straight homage to g1. but where's the "flip out speakers" rumored to be on the toy at Botcon this year? did they scrap that idea?
Comment below on these link guys. i wanna hear what you think.

ok, so i missspoke. we had a major toy reveal or 2 today and i wanna comment on it. here we go.
Links (all are direct to photos):
Tracks robot mode: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/3/9/4/0/7/transformers-generations-turbo-tracks-robot-mode_1285090202.jpg

Thunderwing alt mode: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/3/9/4/0/7/transformers-generations-thunderwing-vehicle-mode_1285099344.jpg
Commentary:
ok so lets talk about Tracks. His robot mode looks awesome. though i swear those arms can come downa bit lower on that hinge. really digin the look of this and seems like the gave him a gun as well (look at the hand on the left of the screen). i really like how it looks like a straight update of g1. the arms could be white as well with black hands or something but this is fine. this guy is probably pre-ordered for me anyway as soon as his pre-order goes up. for Tracks's alt mode, all i have to say is wow! its sooo awesome!!!!!!!!!!
ok to Wreck-Gar and Perceptor. wow, hours after we get news that wreck-gar is listed in walmart stock for the fall we get a photo of him from the TFCC magazine and omg wow. The wheel on the right leg seems kinda big but i'm sure thats jus the angle. but wow, that weapon is beast, and OMFG the face sculpt detailing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! commentary fail much?
Perceptor's alt mode looks awesome. he's gonna be gotten. really hope they make Trailbreaker form this mold.
lastly, the shit shot of thunderwing. alt mode looks nice if a bit bland.
comment below.

No US release for Challenge at cybertron and CrazyDevy's Master commader power parts!
Links: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/challenge-at-cybertron-not-getting-us-release-two-pack-release-for-ironhide-and-bonecrusher-170582/
http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/generation-1-1/cdmw-12-master-commander-power-parts-revealed-170584/
Hey all, i just realized the unintentional innuendo in the title of this post. Whoops.
anyway. so aapparently the challenege at cybertron set is not getting a US release as was exclusive to the Asisan market and the people who went to Auto Assembly who got it. honestly, i'm not too broken up about this, while the Cyclonus re-color is very nice (and i could use a toy representation of "and his armada") the Hot rod recoloring doesnt grab me and the Galvatron re-deco is nice, but the toy is crap. The stuff of more interest in the first link are the rumored two-packs comign to a walmart near you soon:
Movie line Voyager Starscream and deluxe Mudflap. The second which we've suspected for a while contains Movie line voyager Ironhide and deluxe Bonecrusher. Rumors hold this second two pack is made of the unknown blue version ("offroad") of Recon Ironhide and a battle-damaged 2007 movieline Bonecrusher. Once again i have a feeling of "meh" Voyager starscrem from the movieverse has never done it for me, and they are contiually milking Mudflap to death. Doesnt hasbro know few people like that toy to begin with?!?!?!?!?!?! I'm not enthused about the "battle damaged" bonecrusher. 1) he's a charcater who's been dead since the 2007 movie in that continuity and 2) battle Damage is an overused repaint gimmick. the repainted recon Ironhide seems ok.......
And now to CrazyDevy's Master Commander Power parts! so the third party compnay who's been releasing bits and pieces to updtae your g1 devastator and Superion, has now upgraded a already issued 3rd party item (the TAW god sword) and upped the price significantly. the God sword already got mixed reviews when it came out, so i think i'll pass, even if ti looks awesome. What crazyDevy needs to do, is get a hold of that Battle Rollar figure and re-release him!

another movie news post: SPOILERS!!!!
ok. so. another day, another transformers post. This one is movie news and its kinda spoilery, so you've been warned.
*********************************************
Ok, so you were warned, so if youre still reading, i'm assuming you want the news. so here it is
link: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/more-transformers-3-spoilers-and-rumors-from-detroit-170570/
So a few days ago, photos of a weird wired thing appeared on TFW2005. i dindt look at those, but looking at these photos of it being lowered, i cant help but join the bandwagon that its a properly done combiner foot. the question is, which combiner? given the fasct that its crushing a car, i'm gonna go ahead and say decepticon. so that leaves us with Menasaur (stunticon combiner team) or one of the beast combiners, but given that foot, i'm gonna say its a vehicle former as i dont thik they'd just have a normal CGI'd foot fly in at some point. there's also speculation that its falling debris. Now i could see that, but the base is too smooth for that if you ask me.
Secondly a few weeks ago there was talk of a jet engine appearing on set as a prop for something. The jet engine was all movieverse-ized and whatnot, peopel were speculating what it was, but now a report has been leaked from one of the extras for the detroit filming essentially saying there the engine is part of the main antagonists alt mode. the scene they were filmign with the prop engine (pun intended) in detroit was for a scene that will tke place in chicago in the movie and its where the main villain transforms and reveals himself and says his the orchestrator of the transformer "chaos" on earth. Then Bumblebee, Ratchet, Sideswipe, Wheeljack, and the Ferrari-bot battle him. Apparently, Prime, Ironhide, and Josh Duhamel's chacater are involved elsewhere in a subplot.
he subplot sounds interesting, but this part also sounds like bumblebee is in charge. oy vey. but yea. interesting that wheeljack is confirmed, is he the blue mercedes scientist bot that has the fiber-optic "hair" and looks like Einstein in the head sculpt? if so, the name "Q" was tyoical misinfo. Please let Wheeljack be voiced by Doc Brown from back to the future #' 1-3 though. Interesting that we dont have a name for the ferrari bot yet.
I for one think the main antagonist is Shockwave, and he'll be a big purple jet in the movie, but the will be massively out of scale in the toyline. I hope that Michael bay didnt botch unicron up and make him a plane. or maybe the villain is someone different who shockwave secretly answers to.
Speculate below!

Hey all, told you this blog wasnt dead!
links: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/fansproject-shadow-scyther-revealed/19686/
http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/update-color-scheme-image-of-fansproject-shadow-scyther-armor/19716/
Two links 1 story, sounds like a bad fanfic website for Legend of Zelda.
Anyway, we're not here to talk about that, we're here to discuss the links. ok so they both link to information on the Shadow Scythe armor, a repaint of the upcoming protector armor (which has a december release) from Fansproject. Apparently the shadow Scythe armor (no easy acronym there) is due out prior. Problem is, the color scheme works on for two super exclusive and rare figures, Henkei Wildrider or Botcon Shattered Glass Rodimus. The former is the cheapest option, but still commands at minimun $60 on ebay and such. So unless you already have one of those versions, the Shadow scythe armor is kinda meh. Its a product that's already retailing for aroudn $80 and you're paying at best a minimum of that for one of the figures its ideally designed for. I'm sorry but its not worth that to me to have a nemesis rodimus.
The plus for theis dark redeco though is that the color scheme is glorious and its come witha motherf-ing scythe. every time i've type Scthe, i've accidentally typed Scyther, and this is not a pokemon thing. :) and i misspelled it there too, wow. anyway,i kinda of see the point of this, btu unless i get the challenge at cybertron 3pack and get someone to repaint that rodimus for me into the appropriate colors to match this armor, i'm not gonna be getting this.
The protector armor is on my holiday wish list.
Now for you guys, comment below with your take on the armor.
see you next post.

Two links 1 story, sounds like a bad fanfic website for Legend of Zelda.
Anyway, we're not here to talk about that, we're here to discuss the links. ok so they both link to information on the Shadow Scythe armor, a repaint of the upcoming protector armor (which has a december release) from Fansproject. Apparently the shadow Scythe armor (no easy acronym there) is due out prior. Problem is, the color scheme works on for two super exclusive and rare figures, Henkei Wildrider or Botcon Shattered Glass Rodimus. The former is the cheapest option, but still commands at minimun $60 on ebay and such. So unless you already have one of those versions, the Shadow scythe armor is kinda meh. Its a product that's already retailing for aroudn $80 and you're paying at best a minimum of that for one of the figures its ideally designed for. I'm sorry but its not worth that to me to have a nemesis rodimus.
The plus for theis dark redeco though is that the color scheme is glorious and its come witha motherf-ing scythe. every time i've type Scthe, i've accidentally typed Scyther, and this is not a pokemon thing. :) and i misspelled it there too, wow. anyway,i kinda of see the point of this, btu unless i get the challenge at cybertron 3pack and get someone to repaint that rodimus for me into the appropriate colors to match this armor, i'm not gonna be getting this.
The protector armor is on my holiday wish list.
Now for you guys, comment below with your take on the armor.
see you next post.
