It's within the Transformers lore that Blurr is the fastest Autobot on land. That was transcended in Transformers Animated, as Blurr was even faster than the kid-favorite Bumblebee. Even by looking at the figure of Transformers Animated Blurr, you can tell he is fast by his sleeky and aerodynamic design. And what better way to make a figure even better than to have the mold get into the studios at Takara. You'll find that their version of Blurr features bright blue replacing Hasbro's darker - Read More

Jim Sorensen of the Disciples of Boltax let us know about a new update on his blog. The image, from Ark Addendum,shows the transformation sequence of Skull, aka Skullcruncher. Check it out. Actually, Skull isn't that villainous really. He owes more to the bumbling thug archetype than to anything really nasty. The transform, though, makes him look pretty bad-ass. I like that he neither starts nor ends in his traditional character model pose. The ending, in particular, has a nice feel to - Read More
