Are they all "pseudo MP", or are they modern Generations scaled?

Most of them I have absolutely no clue what character they reffer to. :shock:

The Ultimate Transformer aka Galvatron

Straxus/Darkmount

Energon Megatron

I actually thought the last one was a really clever homage.

I knew it was Galvatron, but the recolors were hard to point out.

Also, Darkmount? Did the original transform into anything? Because I do remember having the Generations at some point. Too bad I sold him.

He did have an altmode...

Which is what makes him so ideal for a Galvatron retool.

He was mostly a Head-in-a-Jar though, shortly after his first appearance.

Classic Marvel comics had lot of unique characters!

I wonder if they'll receive some love once the Sunbow-G1 finally roll out?

Some time ago, I mentioned a 3P Raiden set was in the works. Then HasTak alluded to an official something Raiden related and all went quiet on both fronts.

Via TF-Source and Moon Studio, we have the entire team of six up for pre-order. Due to arrive December 2021, $109.99 each. There is also currently a multi-purchase option for $659.94.

I'll update as and when more information drops.

MS01 Dark Knight
MS02 Ice Land
MS03 Iron Arm
MS04 Moon Shine
MS05 Green Zone
MS06 Cool Peak

Note: The images attached are only renders at the moment. They combine to form Radiatron.

Update on Radiatron:

Each figure stands about 21CM/8.27" tall in robot mode.

Combine all 6 figures, Dark Knight, Ice Land, Iron Arm, Moon Shine, Green Zone and Cool Peak to form Radiatron.

For those interested, we have a completely different distribution method and pricing from Omegalock.co.uk

The six Train Bots are being sold as pairs, priced at £159.99. With a £39.99 deposit option available.

MS-01 Dark Knight & MS-02 Ice Land
MS-03 Iron Arm & MS-04 Moon Shine
MS-05 Green Zone & MS-06 Cool Peak

Which in total comes to £479.97 (or £119.97 via deposit). A cheaper alternative to TFSource, in light of customs, shipping etc.

Hey guys!
Anyone who picked up
Ir wanted to pick up
the Big Firebird EX-01 Nicee Arcee
But then became extremely bummed
because it came without the Arcee head
be bummed no more!!
Now you can get the Nicee Arcee Head Sculpture (Head only)
Sold Separately!
It's a real ripoff if you ask me
But maybe you are not me?!

Two things stop me from getting that "Arcee" head for Nicee. 1st, the price. Like, come on.
Second, the OG Nicee head is perfect. Fit the character way more.

So I'm going to talk about Galvatron for a bit.

This is the newest official offering:

This is the newest 3P:

I'll immediately point out how the 3P faces are far more accurate to the character than the official one. Purple/Toon Galvatron, should always look a little angry. Grey/Comic Galvatron, smug and self-confident. You don't really get much in terms of specific personality from the Kingdom one.

Galvatron was never an "impossible" Transformer in altmode. His forearms fold into his upper arm, while the tank treads flip out and around. Head pops down and legs collapse in on themselves. Waist twists and "tail" flips down. Done.
Sure the Toon model pushed his legs all the way into his torso for cannon mode. But there was no wizardry involved. No removed pieces.

Yet there is something about the proportions of the Kingdom one that bother me. Something that the 3P one does so much better. They are not a million miles apart but, for the first time I am considering a 3P figure and not even giving a second thought to the official one.

So following on from previous news, Newage H23EX Darius (Metallic/Animated colours Version) is now available for purchase. Specifically, it was his accessories that drew my eye to make note of him again.

w/ Planet Shell

Yes, that's right....

This. Now. Exists!

Oh lol, that's awesome! :lol:

Now if only a 3p company would tackle the never released G1 Unicron...

Nice car, but it seem bigger. This may result in a bigger backpack.
I wonder how the bot will look like and what colors will it be?

by **Glarryg** » Fri May 14, 2021 1:19 pm

I was sort of excited about Nicee, but I think I've had my fill of shellformer ladybots. I'd love to support original designs, but not so much when the basic design re-uses an idea that's not that great in the first place (so... shellformers).

What?imus Prime

Gotta love how the box kinda says new better transformation because the Hasbros transformation was bad, yet ours ends up looking like this*
*and purely just to avoid the wrath of Hasbro

Was found in tk max, didn't see the price of the monstrosity
