He has finally finished his 15 minute film! Only 6 months later and let me say it is amazing to see these toys come to life!

PerfectEffect has another teaser for us… Let me say I have had one other 3rd party figure that I have ever bought… And now I might have to add this one to my list…

While there seems to be more to be worked out, the robot mode on this beast is just that… Beast! THIS IS SPARTA!

Well we all thought we were done with Age of Extinction right? Wrong… The internutz is buzzing with this guy. TFW2005, Seibertron (I think posted it first…), All spark, and so forth… Till all are one right?

I have to say I thought “I” was done, but dang this guy is spicy! Might go REALLY well with my Target Exclusive version. (Nice and white!)

Scoring in a nice Nemesis black and teal look I have a feeling this guy is going to sell quickly…

I fear if I share this link I might not get him for myself, however here is the source of this!

Not sure who or what, but someone is selling some Age of Extinction swords for .99 cents! FREE SHIPPING. (Someone from China obviously as thats where it came from…) While the quality is clearly not extremely strong and durable… They are certainly really pretty! I purchased one of the gold versions, they also have a chrome shield and tons of other gold ones available. It also appears they have AOE Voyager Grimlock for sale for .99 cents (must be a mock up…)

I felt that for .99 cents I might as well jump at it because you always need more weapons right? Here are some pictures of what it looks like…

I have been following a lot of activity on Combiner Wars Voyager Optimus Prime. Unfortunately him being “Voyager” naturally makes him shorter than a leader class, along with that he needs to be the size he is in order to combine and be within the same ranges as the other “combiners” (minus Devastator!)

***Initially I was going to skip Optimus Prime however due to the amount of interest in him and upgrade sets being developed I am extremely interested in getting him from the “Custom” side of things.

So here is a list of customs that you can order and (soon to be able to…)

#1) Full head sculpt, leg extensions, and weapon addition. Seibertron Member: autobotx23 says that this mod will make him stand over 8″ tall. Placing him very close to eye to eye with Megatron. His additional mods here include an overhaul on his paint job which looks pretty nice!

#2) Chest plate, and ultra mode mods. By TFW2005 member: johnbonhamatron is working on a piece that will click onto his chest and replace. This release is set for early March, but as any prototyping we know can take longer if any issues happen in the process.

To keep up with his progress you can go to TFW2005 Forums here: http://www.tfw2005.com/…

Do you have a mod or an enhancement for Combiner Wars Optimus Prime? Let us know in the comments or contact us today. We are always looking for new and exciting things that make huge enhancements to original toy.

I have had this axe sitting on my desk since before Christmas. Unfortunately I have not had the time to take pictures and paint it until this last week.

My son has been a fan of the War for Cybertron and now Fall of Cybertron lines (we are a little behind.) One thing we have noticed with the toys from these lines is the lack of melee weapons. So I set out to make an axe just for him!

The results I was pretty happy with for the most part. Version 1 of this model was a bit rough and required a lot of sanding on the handle. WFC Optimus hand has a higher fit than most 5mm hands. However once sanded down and painted I noticed no chipping or peeling which is a success! My past works would have this peeling because of being to close to the 5mm fits.

Check it out.

I have been looking and looking and looking and looking… Him being about a few years old now and an excellent figure it was a little bit of a challenge. I was finally able to get a decent deal for about $30 + free shipping on eBay. Typically most $15 deluxe Transformers within a year or two (OR if the line ends…) the price typically doubles. For this guy most of the eBay listings were any where from $30-$50. The “Favored” Deluxe sized Transformers double in price or go for more. (More on this later!)

War for Cybertron Optimus Prime is a “Deluxe” Transformer. However when compared to some Deluxe Fall of Cybertron Optimus Prime you will quickly see that he is actually a little larger.

Without a doubt this Optimus Prime is now one of my favorites. Almost everything about him is awesome. His face sculpt, proportions, even to some extent his Transformation…

Now there is one problem with this figure. His transformation is probably one of the most difficult transformations I have seen to date. Tons of rotating and precise positioning in order to get him exactly right. I did not photograph his vehicle mode yet, but have plans to in the near future.

War for Cybertron Optimus Prime is now my third from the line. (Megatron, Bumblebee, and now Optimus Prime.) I own just about every Fall of Cybertron figure and when these WFC stand up next to them they look pretty dang terrible. Don’t get me wrong! They still have a place, but possibly not for long in my collection.

The quality of WFC figures have a stronger plastic, and are pieced together with higher quality parts.

This figure literally makes the Fall of Cybertron line really seem ridiculous as much as I loved getting the Fall of Cybertron series, however now I can see how much a rip off it was. As the WFC line is SO much better from just looking at the quality to say the least.

War for Cybertron Optimus Prime in my opinion is definitely one of my top 10 Transformer Toys.

If you do not have this figure I would recommend getting him before he becomes even more difficult to get.

Here is a preview really pretty graphic of the up coming Takara Tomy MP-10 ‘Eva’ Optimus Prime. I don’t read Japanese but translating it with Google Translator gives a “rough” understanding of what it says. To read more about go to: Takara Tomy Mall see translation: Translated Takara Tomy Mall

(Ok ok I posted another “comic!”)
