Transformers: Robots In Disguise Minicon Battle Pack

Last Maximal has posted two images over on the Allspark which show that the recolour of Transformers Classics Optimus Prime that has recently popped up in some auctions is an upcoming release from Platinum Series two pack with a redeco of Voyager Classics Megatron!

The toys within the pack are redecos of the original Transformers Classics Voyager molds for the same characters. Optimus Prime retains his traditional red and blue deco, but uses clear blue panels on the arms and has a Autobot symbol stamped on his wind vane. The Megatron has a silver body, with red forearms and red-and-black legs, in robot form whilst the gun mode is mainly red to pass the requirements to make toy guns look like toys and not real guns.

The set is called “One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall” and much like the Platinum series Planet of Junk Clash set, is another special edition being made to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Transformers: the Movie.

According to Last Maximal, this set is out in specialty stores in the Philippines.

Reports are coming in that Wave 2 of the 2016 Transformers Combiner Wars figures have now been released within the Phillipines. The wave includes Sky Lynx,Smokescreen, Wheeljack, Hound and Trailbreaker.

Twitter user Mr. Crying Face has posted a clearer image of the highly anticipated Transformers Unite Warriors Blast Off figure. The image, which is a scan from a Japanese Hobby Magazine, shows Blast Off’s robot mode as well as his alt mode showing, in turn, a better idea of how his transformation will work. The images suggest that Blast-Off is going to be a completely new figure or an extremely head re-tooling at the vers least.

Sorry for not posting much news recently, the reason for this may have become clear if you have seen the recent anouncement by TFNation showing out involvement in the UK convention.  We've been busy on the corporate side of convention organisation, along with creating a custom ticketing system for the show.  This has meant we have once again fallen behind on new stories.  

Here's a catchup on the world of Transformers: Titan Returns / Transformers: Combiner Wars.
