Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.
Figures the one store of the "big 3" I can get to has the least interesting exclusives... Seriously, even more chrome and a Grimlock not all that different from all the other uses of the mold. Boooooring.
"Unused G2" ConstructBot Grimlock is kinda amusing, but I don't collect those and don't intend to start doing so.
The first Prime, though, I'm not too in love with his design; never was. I feel as though it's too much gray, not enough color. The chromed version with Grim, however, is absolutely gorgeous. If it stays that shiny, Takara can take a back seat on this one.
Check out my YouTube for my Transformers Trading Card Game lists, gameplay and general thoughts on the game!
Bases are loaded, Hasbro steps up to the plate and.... Swing and a clear miss!! OH Hasbro just fell flat on its ass and tried to take Target with it!
Last one out of the stadium, please turn off the lights. This game is clearly over!
Again, they almost had me with the two pack of the FoC Grim and the DotM Prime but they just couldn't quite pull it off. Screwed up both of 'em just enough to make them not appealing.

Target's exclusives aren't nearly as exciting as Walmart's.

This Target-Exclusive G1-deco FoC Grimlock has come around at just the right time for me! I was getting ready to buy the Takara-Tomy version of the mold for better G1 accuracy on my Classics shelf, but this one takes the cake. Plus, is that a proper Autobot logo on his robot mode chest instead of the "Lightning Strike Coalition" logo? Sold!

Looking at all these gray Optimus Prime toys, it's like Hasbro took one look at the following pic and went "OH! Guess which deco we haven't yet homaged to death in redeco fodder!!"

that chromed G1 grimlock looks nice but i really hate that mold, to hollow & can only be viewed from one angle in each mode. If it shows up on clearance for a good price i might get one to keep in the box but thats about it. Would rather have seen the deluxe classics grimlock get the gold treatment instead of FoC grim. Random thought, would be cool to see classics dinobot repainted/remolded into beast wars grimlock.

Now there's an homage I'd love, since BW Grimlock was one of my first transformers, and the only version of the Dinobot mold I had. I don't remember what happened to him, whether I just lost him or traded him away or tried to take him apart and couldn't put him back together (it was a weird phase I went through)...... but yeah, someone make a Grimlock out of that mold. For science.

I never had BW Grimlock, but since it's a Gold Plastic Syndrome figure, I can imagine one horrible outcome if you did disassemble him.
That's also why I'll third a Universe 2.0 Dinobot Grimlock repaint: Don't want to handle the originals more than necessary. And they could package him with the comic where he fights Magmatron.
Are they really going to make Prime all silver? I truly hope not.
I have been into transformers since 1984. While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters. I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most part I'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs. It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise. TFCon List: Classics Skywarp, General Optimus, BW Airrazor, Transmetal Tarantulus, Alternity Prime, Fire Convoy
Thanks to fellow Seibertron.com user Fires_Of_Inferno we get another video review from YouTube user Baltmatrix - and we take a look at another version of the upcoming Transformers: Age of Extinction Optimus Prime. As we posted the other day for Grimlock (and you can check out our gallery here, too), it's the chrometastic Leader Class figure! Check out the embedded video below, and let us know your thoughts in the Energon Pub.
WooHoo...Sooo glad I put the kabash on my Amazon preorder! This is a complete piece of crap...actually liked the first edition AOE Prime better and I returned that one to Hasbro because of chrome issues for refund. I know I won't have any trouble scoring an Evasion Mode Optimus on launch day, but have to wonder how everyone else will make out when it is the ONLY worthy Prime in the line thus far. Just my humble opinion of course...thanks for another great review.
Here's a thought: have we actually seen movie footage of the Dinobots in robot mode? What if they end up like Movie Scorponok, i.e. only an on-screen beast mode?

Hasbro confirmed they'd be transforming. Maybe its suppose to be a "surpise"

The resident Rewind... well, half of one
- Jelze Bunnycat =:3
Looking for: - TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him ) - PotP Punch head - TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one) - CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad - TR Twinferno & Grotusque - Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)
Are you ready to buy your Transformers: Age of Extinction figures? Afraid you might miss the boat or won't be able to make it to a store? Fear not, Hasbro is launching a scheme for online retail too! This coming Monday has been dubbed Cybertron Monday, and marks the official release date for online retailers of the movie toys. As a fun extra, you can also get a voicemail from Optimus Prime to remind you of the date! Check out more info here and below.
Monday, May 12th is CYBERTRON MONDAY, the official day when Transformers: Age of Extinction toys will go on sale at online retailers. The landing page http://www.cybertronmonday.com will go live shortly with more information about the event. Stay tuned for more details, as an official press release will make its appearance.
Also, as part of Cybertron Monday, we're letting U.S. fans sign up to receive a voicemail message from Optimus Prime reminding them when toys are available on May 12th. Fans can text TRANSFORMERS to 38470 to sign up.
I spotted Voyagers Optimus and Grimlock at WalMart today. I picked up Optimus only, (because I think Grimlock is hideous) and I wasn't disappointed. It's a very good figure. Dare I say better than the Leader. From previous photos and reviews I didn't think I would, but once I had it in hand at the store, it was a must-get.
I went to give his shotgun to DoTM Voyager Megatron, just to see if it would fit, and it does. Also, I noticed that Evasion Optimus scales very well with DoTM Megatron in both modes. In both modes he's juuuuust a bit bigger, but it's much closer than DoTM Voyager Optimus was.
The official Transformers YouTube channel has uploaded a new video, featuring a look at the work going on behind the scenes, directly on the desk of toy designer manager John Warden and Bill Paukert themselves! From colours, to alt modes to transformation to translating movie designs to plastic form, and materials, it's all in there, especially focused on the dinobots: take a look at the embedded video below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!
