Last year we saw the introduction of the Commander Class in the Generations toyline of the Transformers franchise. This new classification of toy size was for those characters that were much bigger than even the likes of Optimus and Megatron in the G1 cartoon and the fans wanted a toy to match. So far we … Continue reading Toy Review – Earthrise Sky Lynx
Mirage is one of those middle-of-the-road Autobot Car characters in terms of popularity, and this is reflected in the amount of toys based on him over the years. Whilst not super-rare like say Grapple, not super popular like Sideswipe or Prowl either. Mirage has cropped up in such Transformer toy sub-lines such as Kre-O, Alternators … Continue reading Toy Review – Siege Mirage
The Generations Selects line is one that divides people. On the one hand it provides opportunities for figures to get made that might otherwise not due to a lack of popularity. On the other, it means these figures are often only available either online, at specific stores and/or limited to a few select countries, meaning … Continue reading Toys Review – Selects: Nightbird, Cromar and Zetar

While it’s pretty hard to beat Scrounge (a character from the Marvel comics who turned into a wheel and died) who came with the Combiner Wars Technobots, we may have a contender. This time it is a … Continue reading Toy Review – Siege Greenlight

No, I don’t like scalpers – no sir! Now I want to make a distinction here. I don’t consider scalpers people … Continue reading Scalpers: A-Holes of the Collectors World
There have been a ton of Transformer gaming apps in recent years on both Android and iPhone; a few have retired and several are still chugging along. In anticipation of the new Bumblebee Movie coming out later this year, we have a new game (currently only available through Apple) based on everyone’s favorite little yellow … Continue reading Game App Review – Transformers Bumblebee Overdrive
During the Combiner Wars toyline, many G1 fans were screaming for the line to be widened to include the creature themed gestalt groups. Well with Predaking on the way and the latest offerings available now, Power of the Primes has come through on this score. And in Wave 2 of POTP we get to see … Continue reading Toys Review: POTP Terrorcons – First Lot
Last time we talked to Con, a fan up in the far north of Australia. This time we head back down south to talk to Michael, one of the true Kings of Customization in Australia and a helluva nice guy a few years ago I got the pleasure of meeting!
