Transformers Collection (exclusive Ozformers preview)

And someone tell me why the current IDW comics don't look like this?

Seriously, who the hell do they think they're selling too? The flocks of new TF fans who view the quality Bayverse as the pinnacle of TF collecting?

Seriously pisses me off when this is the quality of work you guys are getting done as part of a initial proposal.

I'll support this if it becomes a reality! Good work guys, fingers crossed Hasbro like the idea!

We will release the boxes as a collector only box, and require each person to join the membership of our transformers club. The fee will be the membership, but the boxes are free.

That is what the current law allows us to do.

Given the project is based in Hong Kong and China, the rules around what we can and can't do are very different to that of US/Australia.

But - we want to go by the book, less trouble that way.

This sounds awesome guys! I'd support it. :) I love Dan's work too, he's a lovely guy.

Starting a "club" that would sell exclusive transformer content sounds like it would overlap with the existing official one..... Have you though about contacting Takara, rather than Hasbro, if they are reluctant to license. I am thinking of all the limited run licensed Takara garage kits that are produced and how Takara seem to be more flexible

Holy Crap it was only a couple of days ago I got my net speeds back up and finally got to see the photos on first page (as they didn't load on slow capped speeds) and whoa, I'm speechless at those box designs.

THEY ARE BLOODY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! If this project did go through with the approval of Hasbro these sets would sell like HOTCAKES

Been looking and keeping quiet for all this time, but really happy to see the positive reactions here.

Gotta say that right now, UM is the main man running the show! :p

Like UM says, we really want to be doing by the book, but we also wish to have enough material and an amount of fan support as ammunition when we talk to the big boys. It cannot just be 'another idea', but should be an work thought out proposal with traction.

On my end, I'm looking at the legal options to make this work for us, for Hasbro and all involved.

Cheers! :D

I'd be interested in a more expanded list of new weapons/parts. I'm not a mint in sealed box man at all but I suppose I like some of my Classics figures enough to get them some new parts.

Well just Mirage really. And Galvatron.

I like this idea. The one complaint I have across my collection is the weapon/accessories. I did get the g3 trailer for henkei prime which came with a few weapons but i didn't like the one for hound.

for example - united/rts perceptor. he has the shoulder cannon thingy but he's missing a handgun which just feels weird to me.

HD is too modest, there is currently alot of support for this. I was contacted by Hasbro Hong Kong about this project (without me contacting them). They are keen to discuss and see further.

There is some exciting developments on this project, and in mid July most information will be avaliable on the project's website and facebook page.

There is also some good fans for people who like a certain orange and green figure from G1 :) HD knows but he isnt allowed to say anything...

That'd be more interesting than Hoist. It's either them or Venom.

@Kaiden, if you use a G1 Perceptor handgun for your Generations one - he can hold it well and it matches him quite nicely. My cousin pointed this out to me, I gave him my extra black e-hobby gun . For mine Im using the second handgun , it really suits him -plus it's still an official Hasbro item/accessory :D. I also use Pretender BUmblebee's innerbot gun for my Classics Bbee and it matches very nicely :D:D

I can't wait to see this project come in fruition!! I can imagine that Autobse now spawled elegantly in the middle of my collection room, Sweeeeet!!:D:D

A question has been raised by someone who is working on part of this project.

Would you all support an official Ultra Magnus toy (rather than fansproject one). Ie trailer and cab designed by the Hasbro team for Classics?

On a side note, we are looking for toy designers to be part of this team!

Not really, I would personally prefer something that has not been done before and would fill in a collection 'gap' such as Powermaster armor for Prime. A lot of people including myself already have the Ultra Magnus armor which is already pretty decent.

BTW, I would be happy to help in any way that I can. If there is anything that you think I can do, please let me know.

@liegeprime.

thanks for the suggestion but i have no intention of getting of g1 and im a misb collector (that opens them) anyway. plus i like updated weapons with a little throwback here and there.

I would support it as long as it was better than the Fansproject City Commander.

-better head sculpt
-better shoulder and arm articulation/clearance
-no useless oversized cannon launching thing

Yes.

Zomg...hopefully these aren't too pricey. Would love to get all 50! but mostly want ratchet and an ironhide without a blue face :cool:

Here is the box art for Transformers #7 Jazz. We have another 6 on its way!

Alot has happened this week. HD has been hard at work on some very very exciting news for this project, and I have been chasing toy designers across the world for some very very very very amazing new designs.

In mid July we will launch the website, and ask all Ozformers members to promote this across all the transformers websites across the world. We want to be able to chat to Hasbro with enough support to have them instantly say yes!

Sounds great UM, is there any chance of getting some Banners and Sigs made?

My thought was that the banners and sigs could be official promotional material for the project that would be linkable back to the official website. :)
That way, we could promote the project both visually and verbally but also to serve as an easy way for casual viewers of sites and forums to learn about the project. ;)

What an excellent idea! Sure lets speak to our graphic designer, Dan, and the boxes guys and see what we can come up with!

Yes!!:)

I would buy an official UM for sure. I like the FP kit, but I would buy an official figure in a heartbeat. That is, if it looks really good :p

I 100% would buy an official UM trailer/armour. As cool as the FP armour is, for me the asthetic is all wrong. He looks out of place with Classics as he is too blocky and the FP trailer mode looks nothing like UM's.

awesome work UltraMagnus! Hmm I'm surprised these havent been posted on the TFW2005 and other boards. I have thought about it but i didn't know if you wanted to. They look awesome sounds what you got planned is going to be epic! Can't wait for more info! Keep it it up!!!

This project is fantastic! Especially for collectors who don't have the classics figures (like me). I would love to help in any way I can to get this into production and I'm sure many more members would be happy to help too!



EDIT: Was looking at Prime and admiring the beautiful work but he totally needs his G1 Ion blaster/laser rifle

I actually spoke with HD today about that very point. We will be releasing information next week once all members of the team confirm their involvement.

I always considered lending a hand myself, especially after speaking to UM in person, as the project concept is fantastic! Although, I never really knew what it was I could actually bring to the table :confused:

so I never really put my hand up for anything...

Hell Yes!! Been after this for a while but could never find/afford it.
What I've seen so far is really impressive. Can't wait to hear/see more

sounds very interesting to say the least and i must say the pics are very amazing :)

Guys,

Firstly thank you from Heroic Decepticon and I regarding this project.

We are both working hard on it, and putting together the website, business case and setting up alot of things to make this a success.

Once we have finalised some major details in the next 2-3 weeks we will be asking all of you to help us support this in all the world forums. (i.e. once our website is done and rockin!

The ideas that have been coming our way are just awesome and for any G1 (or influenced) collector will love whats coming your way.

If theres anything I can do happy to help. Though probably cant do anything:o:(

We have just got the in principle nod from one of our first choice writers to pen the 'tech specs' portions on the back of box!!!

Very excited and will have more news to announce when we work out further details with him.

Obviously, the first ones he (yes, its a he) will write are Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz and Jetfire.

Clue: He wrote one of the Transformers mini-series for IDW...

If it's Roche I would go insane with happiness.

I don't think it will matter who writes them or what the bios say, the spectacular front artwork you have shown off is enough to buy it for anyway.


I just really, really, really hope this gets off the ground, and becomes real and not just ambition. I would still buy them as unofficial, but would much prefer to buy something licensed, even if it meant paying a lot more for that.
