Well they snuck this one in, but another boss to fight… Menasor! “I am going to rip your spark out and feed it to you!” Bumblebee seems to also have the “sense of humor” here as he turns around and says, “I did not see that one coming…”

They did a great job with teasing this game, along with not providing every last detail of what to expect and who you get get fight. Only if we could get to be a Decepticon!

Game is now out now!

Shared about a week ago on Transformers Addicts! Facebook page. Because this site is rather a favorite of Bruticus… I deemed this worthy of posting.

Yes most of these are re-used molds, but even still they seem to look excellent. I am expecting many third party add-ons for this guy that should enhance his overall problems. Considering the core of him “Onslaught” is using the same Voyager as Defensor.

Finally after months and months of waiting. A DECENT upgrade kit beyond what we can already get on Shapeways which is “ok” but requires tons of painting/sanding and filling to make it smooth like a normal toy. Least not forget trying to match up the paint colors…

This is from Bonnatron’s Tinkering and not related to the Beelzeboss’s version…

S.N.D. Primo Vitalis upgrade kit follows the look and feel of the current IDW comic book series. Even with this upgrades attached he is fully transformable, and is still able to combine with other  others!

He includes the following:

• 1x Gun
• 1x Sword
• 1x Axe
• 1x New Head
• 1x Combiner Mode Head
• 2x Shoulder Pads
• 1x Chest
• 1x New Waist
• 2x Extended Thighs
• 1x Pair of articulated hands.
• 2x New Feet

The Chosen Prime says he should be ready by November, but with all these things it really is hard to say if it will be here… So hopefully definitely by Christmas!

So sure I felt like it was worth posting two for Sounday… Here is an awesome previous of the upcoming Transformers Devastation Soundwave boss fight… And he is Superior…

Transformers Facebook page posted today that marks the day when the G1 Cartoon first aired its credits…

Happy Anniversary!

So PerfectEffect clearly listens to its fans and proud owners of their toy-lines. PE started off with what is said to be the best Transformer of the Year “Leonidas” and from everything I can tell it is missing one thing… His evil twin! Soon as the initial “teasers” were coming out about Leonidas I had only one thing to say… Can I get that in Black?

Well PE listened and here is the tease!

So a rather interestingly criticized MP-10 Optimus Prime is last years Year of the Horse Optimus Prime. I happened to buy him mostly because its rare to be able to buy ANY MP-10 for less than $150. Why you ask is he criticized? Well Gold paint… Transparent Trailer… Might as well have made him some gold chains to go around his neck and be 100% gangst!

Transformers Addicts Facebook group had a fan by the name Terry Binion share his changes to this figure and to be honest I think he looks better than the standard MP-10! In short all he did was painted all the gold parts “silver” and covered the autobot emblems with new stickers. The end result makes me want to take mine out of the box and paint over all that gold.

Combiner Wars series is starting to get a rather lengthy list of complaints across most the internet. Firstly I would like to say part of the Internet is broken, but on the other half it is working just fine…

Combiner Wars Repaint Compliants!

While this argument is infiltrating the communities a lot lately and while it does seem to be a valid argument. As Hasbro and Takara do seem to abuse certain molds more than others. It would also seem that it seems early to be re-using molds. Which based on seeing some info graphs that exist right now this is not completely untrue. However the argument on the flip side is that we have also gotten a lot of wonderful Transformers that have been long awaited.

So looking at it from the perspective of mold re-use… Here is an info graph that was done.

Chart was found on: Reddit

On average here it does seem to be a good bit of mold re-use. (To me is expected…) Considering they have pretty much released or about to release nearly every main character in the line. Now yes it is rather depressing that the Fan Built combiner is a retool with slight tweaks instead of a completely new molds and or even just getting more retooling than what it is…

So sure looking at that negative aspect, but lets flip this around slightly.

What have we gotten from this year?

– Superion

– Menasor

– Defensor

– Leader Class Megatron AND Armada Megatron! (Back to back! Yes its the same mold…)

– Thundercracker, (Starscream and Skywarp also on the way… All same mold but guess what this is common!) I honestly will probably skip these because I feel MP route is better. And I do not want a retool of Jetfire.

– Ultra Magnus

– Titan Class Devastator – Come on now quit complaining about the tiny problems…

Just naming a few of them and not to mention the two MP’s lined up already.

Bluestreak and Starscream! Bluestreak is also already out and at Toys R Us. Starscream is said to be coming out sometime next month.

Overall while its easy to be frustrated with the combiners, so many other things here have been released that make this line a great piece of work. If you recall several other lines have been riddled with problems especially Movie Lines! So while these complaints are valid at the same time we have gotten so many great new molds and Transformers that easily out weights the reuse of molds.

Who scream? We scream for Starscream!

Toys R Us online around 2:30AM put Starscream on preorder! This is great news for collectors who want the chance of getting this Masterpiece. At this price it is the BEST opportunity to get him at $59.99! Which probably means we can expect to see him in Toys R Us retail stores towards the ending of this month. Hunters can expect to be able to use Coupons and their Thursday 10% discounts which can drop the price to as low as $40. (25% and a 10% off using your TRU Credit Card.)

On another note – He seems to have sold out on the preorders, but I would expect to see this come back for a short times here and there.

So this is a bit of an oldie re-surfacing, but heck its to funny and awesome all at the same time I felt it was time to bring it back up again. Besides if Bumblebee had this much attitude in the movies along with how funny this is… I think he may have had more fans… Especially Decepticons!
