And this is just me, but more Transformers need handheld melee weapons, especially Hammers and Axes

Wait they're doing a stylized Windblade? Might have to drop for that. Also I agree with you 100%. I'd love to see Megatron get a mace or flail more often especially, and of all the things movie Bumblebee could contribute to Bumblebee overall, the war hammer feels like a good fit.

Yeah they teased some design artwork of her a few months ago. No prototype reveal yet, but I imagine it will be soon.

Devastator has had colored images, and we were told to expect pre-orders here soon. and Hound has a prototype, so i imagine we might see him in the coming months as well. Skywarp has also been confirmed to be coming.

I love how robotkingdom slaps their name on all photos as if they’re only sent to them. They’re advertisement photos sent to most retailer and sites.

Man I looked high and low for other retailers with non-labeled pics but they were the only ones I could find. Just out of curiosity if you see them pop up elsewhere can you let me know? That was driving me bonkers earlier.

I saw them the other day on daimchoc’s page I believe

Tfsource also has unwatermarked photos

Welcome aboard Seibertron.com! Thanks for joining our forums.

PLEASE.
PLEASE clean your frickin' nub marks.
They're just... absolutely egregious. Coming from a builder of Gunpla, cleaning your nubs is one of the most important steps in making your models look amazing. Big white stress marks and excess pieces of sprue don't help with the look.



I know I'm being blunt but I'm really not trying to be rude. I just wanna have the gallery look amazing and really make the kits shine.

Thank you for your suggestions. Had I actually put the kits together myself, I probably would have done that. However, the kits were assembled sets that Bluefin Distribution sent to me for review purposes (which I'm assuming Flame Toys assembled themselves and then sent the sets to Bluefin Distribution. If they didn't send me assembled samples, I probably would never have done the galleries because of how long it takes to build sets like this ... heck, I never even got around to doing galleries of the recent Kabaya Transformers because of how long it took to build Deszaras, and those are pretty simple compared to the Flame Toys kits).

The only "customizations" I did to these figures was super glue parts on so that they would quit falling off (such as the horns on Bumblebee, Bumblebee's yellow chest, the vents on the side of Thundercracker's head, and the back pieces to which the wings attach on Thundercracker. I will try to keep my eyes out for small flaws like that on the assembled sets they send me in the future.

One would assume that a company that send assembled copies for review purpose would have taken some extra care in building the things.

On the other hand though, most buyers will be complete casuals and would never think about painting or cleaning the kits of nubs. So in a way, the pictures were "honest". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Guess I'm a complete casual then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think I prefer them to look great without paint, because then I am not disappointed in the way they look after all the time I spent building it. Also, shouldn't a person start painting these things once they get one of the bigger, more expensive kits like Tarn or Drift? Because I think those need the paint more than these simple figures.

An amateur would give at least a clear finish for that extra shine, with paint highlights. The pro would go the extra mile by adding dirt, battle damage, and special effects.

If I find one of these kits on sale, I may try it out. But I'm sure the thing may end up completely ruined. T__T

Emgo just did a video review of Bumblebee.

I'm starting to want the damn thing.

Just paid for my Bumblebee and Thundercracker, I am looking forward to both! Now to wait out a few more things before I ship my stack

Flame toys is keeping things sizzling hot this summer with their upcoming release of Transformers Shattered Glass Attack Mode Optimus Prime! Although not an entirely new mold this repaint of Furai Model Optimus Prime Attack Mode absolutely captures the image of the unhinged warlord mirror universe version of Optimus Prime. You know, the dark version of Optimus that's not Nemesis Prime for once.

Originally debuting as part of an April Fool's joke to Transformer fans that saw many a bot's color scheme, faction, and archetype flipped for fun, the character has developed and grown into the one formerly known as Optronix who amassed his sadistic hordes of Autobots to destroy the noble Decepticons.

Translated from the Japanese Tweet:

"Unlike the regular version, the mask is painted on each runner. The state of luxury will be completed as shown in the photo, but you can further improve the detail by sticking the attached sticker. The crack in the chest window was reproduced by printing on the print."

Enjoy the images and as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

Is it just me, or that Optimus Prime is actually a FEMBOT?

Those delicious child-bearing hips... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

That mold looks really good in the shattered colors. And that artwork, oh it's gorgeous. I would make a clean version of that my wallpaper

Continuing on with our San Diego ComicCon coverage, we have the latest Flame Toys Furai Model Kits and Kuro Kara Kuri Figures on display!

The Kuro Kara Kuri kits include the currently for sale Shattered Glass Drift, the soon to be released Star Saber and the recently revealed Optimus Prime. Drift is a red repaint of his original Kuro Kara Kuri Figure, representing his Shattered Glass IDW body, a look inspired somewhat by Deadpool. Star Saber is directly based on his IDW self, and will combine with Victory Leo, who will be released later on in the line. Optimus is a stylization based on his IDW self but with some Japanese flare and energy pulses.

The Furai model kits include both currently released figures as well as upcoming figures. Among the already released figures are Starscream, Thundercracker, Attack Mode Optimus Prime, Nemesis Prime (attack and IDW versions), and Bumblebee. Among the soon to be released figures are their version of Devastator, Drift, G1 Optimus Prime, Shattered Glass Optimus Prime, and IDW Autobot Megatron. The kits have proven to be a popular trend with the fandom, and we are hoping to see some more kits this weekend, including their Hound and Windblade, both of whom have been teased prior.

Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

The more I look at these guys, the more I think of them are "reverse traps". Most of these bots are actual FEMBOTS trying to pas themselves as boys with their very feminine curves.

Like in Final Fantasy 9.

You and me both. It is a fantastic looking thing, and I want to be able to get that design in some fashion
