Hasbro Paint Guide for Unreleased Transformers Universe Menasor

Looks pretty cool. I probably would've got it, had it been released.

Wait, was this guide created using old Thunderclash stock photography? I've never handled an actual Thunderclash, but there's no way the launchers could've retained the gravity-feed gimmick and still been retooled to meet U.S. safety standards right? Assuming the trailer was going to be the same remold as MW Optimus, you'd think they'd have used a photo of it instead.

by this I mean, the instrumental part past "all the lyrics which based on PTSD of the time. I.e the vetnam war "}

Nice deco guide.
Always good to see archived work dug up and presented.

This thing is hideous looking. That Universe 2003 line reached a LOT with their repaints. The funky colored Silverbolt was still uglier, though.

You could never be a troll, Sabrblade. You're too nice of a guy, not to mention you're my appointed partner-in-crime Seriously though everyone, we have a "Report this post" button in the right-hand corner of every post for a reason. Use it.

And Motormaster doesn't look half bad. Shame he was canceled along with a number of other releases.

The gravity-fed mechanism is still present I believe, but ignored entirely. The Machine Wars version has only the launchers retooled, and only supplied with two long missiles (from what toy I don't know).

I... I thought we had a thing together...



I feel that, while this deco looks really cool on here, the neon yellow shouldn't really be here. But that's just me.

The folks over at The Spacebridge facebook page are back at it, posting rarely seen Transformers prototype images.

First up, we have the original unedited images of G1 Swoop that were used for the figure's boxart. As you can see there were a few changes that occurred between the prototype and production figure. The prototype featured gold chrome on the figure's lower jaw, feet, projectiles. Additionally the tip of the beak was less bulbous on the prototype.

Next we have a proposed black redeco of Energon Megatron.





Lastly, we have a set of proposed G1 Minibot redecos that would have been released by Takara Tomy. Warpath, Seaspray, Powerglide, Beachcomber, and Cosmos in all new color schemes some of which are little more real world accurate.

Thinking the exact same thing man
