Geek Pride Day.
May 25, 2013 - 9:18 PM - by Sky Shadow
I was on the radio tonight for Geek Pride Day and gave OTCA a bit of a shout out, as well as talking about geekery including toy collecting and Transformers (my favourite is Lugnut. Surprise!) My written prequel to the radio show is here: http://hapax-legoman.livejournal.com/17160.html

But yes - happy Geek Pride Day to everyone on the forum!

2013 Hall of Fame awards
May 25, 2013 - 9:47 AM - by griffin
A bit late, but I'm really glad they (Hasbro & FunPub) managed to get this happening again this year, as it would be a shame if it was dropped due to some immature vocal minorities campaigning for joke characters.

Since BotCon is only 5 weeks away, it will mean the nominations period is only expected to be about a week or two... [Read More]

JP June Hobby Magazine scans
May 23, 2013 - 12:58 PM - by griffin
One of next month's toy/hobby magazine in Japan has featured the new Autobot combiner moulds of GO!, along with MP12T Tigertrack and Generations Ratbat, Grimlock and Metroplex.

Good to see that Tigertrack wasn't cancelled, as we haven't heard much of it lately. And Metroplex has some noticeable colour variations to the Hasbro version (bronze... [Read More]

May 22, 2013 - 11:28 PM - by griffin
With this reveal, we now know all the Beast Hunters toys that Hasbro announced at the American Toyfair at the start of the year.

Deluxe Wave 5, due out around July, would mark the end of the Beast Hunters series of toys... but perhaps there is a second series between July and next April, when the Movie toys start being... [Read More]

Beast Hunters Bumblebee Driller vehicle
May 19, 2013 - 6:29 PM - by griffin
The third of three Beast Hunters Vehicles was previously mentioned as being a redeco of the Energon Driller from last year, and now Hasbro has released official images of the "Autobot Driller with Bumblebee".
It shouldn't have the LED feature of the original, and Bumblebee looks to be redecoed as well.

Friendship is magic!
Optimus and Pinky Pie share cover duties on issue #5 with the big bot looking rather perplexed about the whole scenario.

Apparently last weekend in China, there was public testing of a Transformers Movie-themed Arcade Game.
If successful, it could be translated and released globally... maybe.

It's called "Human Alliance".

JP Gen Skywarp & Blaster out May 25th
May 16, 2013 - 1:23 PM - by griffin
This month is rather light in Transformers from TakaraTomy, with just two Generations toys (Skywarp - exclusive to Japan, and Blaster with Steeljaw), and maybe the Magnificus toy as well

The two Generations toys come out at the end of this month, so images are going to start surfacing soon, including these two of... [Read More]

Beast Hunters Ultimate Optimus & Predaking out & pics
May 16, 2013 - 2:07 AM - by griffin
From member Sinnertwin, fresh out of packaging at a Sydney Kmart - Beast Hunters Ultimate Optimus Prime and Predaking.

Note that they are different prices here - Optimus is $79 and Predaking is $69. I think they are both going to be the same price in America (US$60) because Predaking is a Target store exclusive. They are both regular releases in Australia.

As soon as someone rushes over to a Kmart to buy and post up some photos or a video review, here's the first two... [Read More]
