New pictures of Transformers Prime Voyagers Thundertron and Ultra Magnus!

1:44 PM in New Character, NOT IN COLLECTION, Thundertron, Transformers Prime, Ultra Magnus, VOYAGER, YET TO BE RELEASED

Hi folks, WSX here back to give a preview of what to me personally are another two excellent additions to the already awesome TF: Prime toyline in the form of Thundertron and Ultra Magnus! These are the Hasbro US versions, and also please take note that Takaratomy will also be releasing theirs in the next couple of months. 

Pics, news linked / credited are courtersy of Robotkingdom, Tformers.com, HK-Transformers and TFW2005. 

Really stoked for these both as their designs are pretty solid, especially for Ultra Magnus as his smaller and Legends Class version was already a winner.  These should hit retail outlets sometime soon maybe in a week's time! Stay tuned when I find them and buy them!

10:18 AM in ARMS-MICRON, Japan exclusive, Just Arrived, JUST BOUGHT, Latest Addition, Megatron, Minor Repaint, NOT IN COLLECTION, Transformers Prime, VOYAGER

UPDATED in box pics! Toy arrived, together with two Jet Vehicons sometime two weeks ago.  Very shiny....! 

In person his chromed parts, while random and looking somewhat rather 'unfinished' - only his chest and shoulders are chromed, It's actually quite tastefully done and serves as a collector-edition type toy.

Figure King Japanese toy/ hobby Magazine July feature! 

Takaratomy's rendition of the main Villain of the Decepticons from the Transformers Prime animated CG show is to be released sometime end of the month in July. Major differences from Hasbro version, is of course the addition of shiny paint apps, some neat stickers and TWO Arms Microns/ One a Bat Arms Micron- which transforms into a Scythe and Winged jet pack, and the other a standard Gorilla/ Arm Cannon. Price is approx USD $50.

WING SABER TOYZ SNEAK PEEK: DARK OF THE MOON VOYAGER-CLASS DECEPTICON GENERAL =SHOCKWAVE! DESTRUCTIVE FORCE!

9:36 PM in Cybertronian Tank, DARK OF THE MOON, G1 HOMAGE, Just Arrived, JUST BOUGHT, NOT IN COLLECTION, Shockwave, VOYAGER, Yet To Arrive, YET TO BE RELEASED

Hey there, peoples! Welcome to another blog post from yours truly WSX! I would like to kick off the month of April with another one of those pre-released Dark of the Moon Live Action Transformers movie toys which has yet to hit the mass retail market. As it is now pretty much confirmed and known for sometime now, the main villain from the third Transformers movie franchise by Micheal Bay- will be none other than the old Marvel UK comics/ Generation 1 stalwart- the one-eyed and commanding DECEPTICON  Military Operations Commander - Shockwave. Got him loose from a seller on Ebay, shipped last week and received this in the mail recently. Came packaged loose with bubble-wrap, but one hinge in his right sole to clip his legs in his Cybertronian tank mode went missing for some reason....methinks it was 'taken out' and smuggled from the factory..but it still transforms well, save for the small gap in tank mode. A slight peeve, but all in all happy and glad to finally receive him. 

HE IS TO SERVE AND GAIN FOR HIMSELF! 

''Throughout his incarnations, Shockwave is usually distinguished by a laser cannon in lieu of one of his hands and his distinctive face, which is featureless save a single robotic eye.^[2]

As the Decepticons' military operations commander, Shockwave's power is second only to Megatron's Army, and even that is disputed. His actions are carried out with the cold, brutal clarity and perfection one would expect of a purely mechanical being — his way is not that of blood lust, like so many other Decepticons, but rather that of a scientist attempting to solve a problem. And that problem is: how can he use his abilities to most effectively eliminate the greatest number of enemies? Unfortunately for the Autobots, it is rare that Shockwave does not find an answer.

Decepticon
Sub-group	Triple Changers, Voyager
Alternate Modes	AH-64 Apache/Gun emplacement/Cybertronian war tank
Series	Transformers film series
English voice actor	Daniel Riordan (Transformers The Game)

Unlike most early Transformers Shockwave was not modified into an Earthly form, and retains his Cybertron alternate mode — a 35-foot-long ray gun. He possesses the power of flight in both modes, and commands the totality of the electromagnetic spectrum allowing him to emit beams of energy in a wide variety of forms. His high energy output makes him particularly fuel inefficient, but radioactive fuel sources stored in the reactor in his chest can help Shockwave to overcome this problem. Although his logical brain center is usually an advantage, human adversaries often pose more of a difficulty to Shockwave, as more intuitive and emotional thought processes often confound him.

While the animated series established Shockwave as fanatically loyal to Megatron, Shockwave's original bio and most fiction since have described him as coldly and patiently looking for ways to overthrow Megatron, not for personal power (as Starscream would) but simply because it was logical for him to do so. Shockwave concluded that he should rule so that no emotion should prevent the DECEPTICONS from conquering the universe. This was retained in most comic books, where Shockwave became leader of the Decepticons.

Unusually for a 1985 (second year) toy, Shockwave was past in Transformers fiction from the first year, appearing in both the original cartoon pilot and 4-issue comic book miniseries.''

FINAL THOUGHTS: 

A decently made homage for a sinister DECEPTICON character,  he is definitely one of the must buy releases from the Dark of the Moon toyline when it officially hits retail outlets worldwide sometime in the middle of May 2011. Love his giant cannon, more menacing and a whole lot bigger and powerful from hos Generation1 predecessor.  It came in the usual flat grey plastic used to make his thighs, arms and shoulders...so to make up for the dull look, cue Gundam weathering markers for instant remedy! Repainted the after-mentioned parts, and voila! - Shockwave has not looked more menacing and better in person! Very highly recommended! A- for Voyager class size (slightly on the small side) but A+ on homage, colour--it's purple! and simple yet effective transformation!

WING SABER TOYZ UPCOMING RELEASE: DARK OF THE MOON LEADER CLASS SENTINEL PRIME! AINCIENT WARRIOR & SAVOUR!

11:50 AM in DARK OF THE MOON, JUST BOUGHT, LEADER CLASS, NOT IN COLLECTION, Preview, SENTINEL PRIME, Yet To Arrive, YET TO BE RELEASED

Hey there folks! Welcome to yet another blog post and a special update from yours truly Adam aka WSX! Today I would proudly present to my fellow toy collectors and loyal followers out there the world over yet another 'coup' of sorts in my ever burgeouning toy collection.  As most of you are quite aware, the time has come to put the final curtian on the live action Trasnformers movies franchise made famous by uber-explosive- ahem- director and sometimes misunderstood individual Michael Bay-  I am personally hoping for the best movie made yet witha ll the promotional buzz and not to mention news on the movie itself.

LETS GO FOR IT!

Taking cue from the original and compelling series that is the Generation One set of comics from Marvel, the producers and script writers - chielfy a uber good guy by the name of Ehrin Kruger- sought to put right the dismay and sloppiness of the previous live action movie fare that is Revenge of the Fallen. What better way is more appropriate than going out with a huge bang for the third and final installment that is Transformers: Dark Of The Moon?! For instance the main protagonist for once does not really center on the beloved and best known Leader of the Autobots: Optimus Prime, but when the world goes well-literally- dark- and all hope is lost, the desolate and defeated turn to an ancient source- mysterious and mythical- to aid them in their time of need. Long thought destroyed eons ago, their saviour is discovered in stasis mode and brought back to life. That could only sound potentiall good for humandkind and aling autobot troops, but the Decepticons days are surely numbered!

I AM SENTINEL PRIME!

Sentinel Prime:  Autobot

Sub-group:  Primes, Leaders, Cyberverse Legion

Function: Commander

Rank: 10

Alternate Modes: Rosenbauer Panther fire truck

Series Transformers (film series)

Transformers: Generation : Sentinel Prime

Alternate Modes: Cybertronian Truck

Dark of the Moon Leader Class Sentinel Prime (not yet released)
 

Series Transformers: Marvel Comics

 "Marvel ComicsSentinel Prime originates from the original Marvel Comics Transformers series. Sentinel is the immediate predecessor of Optimus Prime, and was killed in battle on Cybertron. He is glimpsed in issue #150 of the UK comic, passing the Autobot Matrix of Leadership on to Optimus Prime. It was not made clear in this continuity who or what caused his death. His appearance resembles Rodimus Prime.

His name is taken from issue U.S. #65 (UK #290) in which all the past Matrix holders are listed and he precedes Optimus Prime."

This bid win was a culmunation of sheer luck as the figure will not see the light of day in mass retail untill the official release date for all Dark of The Moon toys sometime in early May 2011.  Not one for shirking at the chance of obtaining something way ahead of regualr schedule, the price for the figure and shipping was a fair reflection and justifaction for the amout forked out. Robot mode wise, he is nearly identical to his on-screen counterpart. Sharp shoulder pads and his deep red/ marroon colour helps him look dignified and very regal-like. I love his face sculpt as most of the movie designs give  real character and individuality. Giant sword and shield completes the  ensamble. Plus, the fact that his alternate mde is a really uber cool futuristic looking fire truck helps the purchase to look a little more pleasing to my wallet and mind! LOL. A+ Get him now!

A new Leader mold of Sentinel Prime, which transforms into a Rosenbauer Panther Airport crash tender fire truck. His Mech Tech weaponry consists of a lance and a shield that transforms into a bladed blaster. The figure also features light and sound effects; some of which are triggered when his Mech Tech weapon or those from other figures are placed on the ports on the roof in vehicle mode. In robot mode, his eyes light up and he says, "I am Sentinel Prime!" when his chest is pressed downward. The back of the packaging indicates this figure as officially licensed from Rosenbauer.

WING SABER TOYZ UPCOMING RELEASE: TRANSFORMERS UNITED UN-13: AUTOBOT WARRIOR TRACKS (UN-13 オートボットトラックス)!

10:33 AM in G1 HOMAGE, Japan exclusive, JUST BOUGHT, NOT IN COLLECTION, TAKARATOMY, Tracks, Yet To Arrive

Hi there folks! Really sorry for the lack of updates on my blog. Making up- 'tracks'-ahem for lost time, so today I am proud to feature another cool toy which has yet to arrive, but have already purchased, to be added in my burgeoning collectibles shelve. This was not really an impulse buy per say, but one that has been in the works ever since word came out that TAKARA-Tomy would release a much more superior paint scheme (G1 Flame Deco!) and shiny deep blue- both solid finishes to their Transformers United (@Reveal The Shield / ''RTS'') line-up that is UN-13: Autobot Warrior Tracks, this purchase was a non issue for me. I am not slagging off Hasbro Inc, for their less than inspiring release of the Turbo Tracks incarnation, but we serious collectors are accustomed that anything or most of the time- toys released for the Japanese collectors market always almost tends to be highly sought after. 

TRACKS IS BACK, BABY!

BIO: 

''If there’s one thing AUTOBOT TRACKS loves, it’s himself. In his opinion, nothing is quite so fine as the glint of sunlight of his perfectly polished chrome, or the looks humans give his sweet paint job as he rolls by. He’s no coward, but he avoids battle all the same, if only to protect his precious body from getting scuffed or, even worse, dented.''

TAKARA-TOMY TRIUMPHS! 

The folks at Takaratomy have basically chosen to stay rooted to the G1 inspired re-deco for UN-13 Autobot Warrior Tracks. I can safely say that this release is the most definitive release that most fans have been clamoring for. The aesthetic differences are right off the bat- are glaringly obvious. The 'tribal' tattoo-inspired flames for the RTS version of Tracks is pretty messy on the hood. Add to the usage of rub-sign stickers for the Autobot symbol on his roof/ robot chest, and it makes the toy look rather dull-- But obviously, Hasbro's niche market caters for the casual collectors and their numero uno target audience: KIDS.  

I can understand fully the reasoning behind the much more generic releases, as to maximize their distribution and sales scope.  

ROBOTKINGDOM ROCKS! 

Getting stuff from HK-based toy company and distributer, Robotkingdom is pretty hassle free and convenient in terms of reasonable shipping cost. I recommend buying from them if you wish to complete the collection gap of your beloved Transformers figures.  The fact that they are based in Hong Kong makes it the more better to receive your stuff and shipment is pretty safe and accurate. 

FINAL THOUGHTS

For collectors who don't mind paying the extra USD $12 or so to get a much more accurate and shiny representation of the Tracks mould. It's even got the bonus and very dubious but highly G1-centric 'flying-car' mode. Awesome. Highly recommended!
