This magnificent video take all the genius and majestic film crafting talent Michael Bay put into all three entries in his Magnum Opus of movies, The Transformers Trilogy, and sums it up into a few moments of awe-inspiring brilliance. It touches on Bay’s firm grasp of comedy, use of strong female leads, easily conveyed plot points and his flattering appearance of the men and women that serve in our armed forces today. Watch the video for yourself and try –JUST TRY– to not come away… Continue reading →

Transformers: Prime First Edition to see promised re-release domestically? Don’t hold your breath.

Hasbro still doesn't care for your desire for things.

It’s a really fucking stupid name for the line because it seems to imply that we’ll see more when it’s hard enough to see the first line AT ALL. Also, why a retail toyline needed a preview, FOR A RETAIL TOYLINE, I still don’t understand. I’d expected Hasbro to phone the first wave in entirely with cheap plastic, lousy molds and then repackage them into something else. Sadly, Hasbro followed that dickhead logic to the letter… just in the opposite direction. In one of the… Continue reading →

Still slightly backlogged on the Botcon news. I’ve only got a few more left on the event and it should be wrapped up by the end of the this week. Unless it isn’t, in which case I’ll just be abusing you with Botcon rantings until I see fit. AND YOU’RE GONNA LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Um… anyway… You know what sucked? Hasbro’s shitty ban on 3rd Party goods at a convention meant to promote the Transformers brand, yet had the corporate stink of a strange new draconian… Continue reading →

This is a Hug-worthy announcement. Kind of. Hasbro has announced something that holds the potential to break the seething tide of hatred their antics have earned them from folks like myself. And no, it’s not hookers, free camaros or candy. It’s a paid toy subscription! YAY!!! Oh… uh, yay. A collector’s subscription service, where subscribers receive unique Transformers figures regularly as part of the service. Mattel did something similar with MattyCollector, a service that was brutally criticized for its brazen and abusive methods of squeezing… Continue reading →

Transformers: Someone thought it would be cool to make the Throttlebots cool!

Let’s face it, when it comes to Transformers and people ask about big piles of suck from back in the good old days Throttlebots tend to gurgle pretty high up. What are the Throttlebots, you ask? Is this some sort of robot kink thing? No… Not really. Throttlebots were a strong sign of good ideas going downhill and a theme that eventually suffocated the line outside of Japan until Generation 2 and Beast Wars. They showed up in the “rebirth” miniseries that murdered the original… Continue reading →

Botcon: Shoving dead characters in your face with wanton abandon! The gruesome Exclusive!

Spoiler alert! Well… not really, since this hideous fact is being celebrated in plastic immortality… In Transformers: Prime the Autobot known as Cliffjumper dies in the very first episode. Brutally. This has made him crazy popular amongst the fandom and in our sick fetish for dead robots, we have howled for more Cliffjumper stiff in his very dead absence. For a dead dude he gets A LOT of figures, which is strange since we’re still waiting on primary characters in the show to get the… Continue reading →

It looks more and more like G2 Bruticus every time I see the Fall of Cybertron video game Transformers Generation combiner. Bright freakin’ colors, Blast-Off and Vortex are wearing eachother’s colors, Onslaught looks weird and overall the gestalt beast they form looks droopy. I WOULD STILL KILL YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS TO COLLECT ALL OF THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS. Retail setting or otherwise. Seriously. Bare hands. I’ll complain about it, piss, moan and yet I will end you to connect with these toys. Check out… Continue reading →

Botcon: ACTUAL Optimus Prime sighting!!!!!!!!!!!

Kids shocked at the sight of the celbrity gasped in awe as Optimus Prime took time out to visit the 'con.

While snapping pics of Hasbro’s display cases full of Fall of Cybertron toys, Transformers: Prime toys and… well, that appears to be all they had. So while nothing new was happening with Hasbro, SUDDENLY OPTIMUS PRIME APPEARED! Turns out he’s a little shorter in person, but has the charisma to enchant the entire room. TFW2005 was on the scene to capture this moment in history!

Botcon: Invasion boxed set UNLEASHED! Also some updates

So it took a bit because those filthy animals at Botcon are probably having fun or some nonsense at convention about toys, selling toys and talking about toys. TFormers seems to be the place to look while Botcon is happening, let me suggest some points of interest. Jerks. Anyway, looks like a generous soul created a makeshift studio out of some hotel sheets and we have some rather clear images of the Invasion boxed set. Included in the Invasion set are Metalhawk, Gigatron, Evil Ultra… Continue reading →

Botcon: It’s here! *sigh* Still can’t make it…

Botcon is a fickle thing for me. When I can afford it, I can never make it and when I can’t afford it I don’t go. Some fans have been kind enough to assist in hooking me up with stuff though and selling off some of the preciouses in my collection actually allowed me access to the finer things in collecting life, like the fancy foam-padded exclusives in their fancy artbox cases. They’re fancy. This year is a year of mixed feelings and apprehension given… Continue reading →
