under Generations / Classics, Transformers Toy Gallery Updates

We’re back with another new Transformers gallery, and this time we’ve enacted Phase 6 on Garrus 9. Get ready, because the most vicious and sadistic Decepticon of them all, Overlord, is here!

The latest and greatest Titans Return Leader class release, Overlord is a remold of Titans Return Sky Shadow, essentially replacing the entire upper body / jet from Sky Shadow. This rendition of Overlord includes the Duocon gimmick from the original, with both vehicle modes being faithfully recreated, and even a version of the original Powermaster gimmick recreated for this release. Poseability is good, with ankle tilts a welcome addition, as are the twin hinges that allow a good range of movement in the shoulders, although it has to be said that one of these hinges is not strong enough to support the weight of the shield Overlord wields.

Overall, Overlord is a very welcome addition to the Titans Return lineup, and a character who we’ve been looking forward to for a while. Check out the gallery to admire him for yourself.

The Amazon exclusive Transformers Tribute Optimus Prime has been released. Tribute Optimus Prime is a special 10th anniversary release of the original 2007 Leader class Optimus Prime, with a chrome grill and a sharp deco. He’s retailing for $80, which is quite an inflation over the original cost, and in stock to ship to fans now.

Perfect Effect have announced their next release. Gorira Prime is a Primal Prime themed redeco of the group’s unlicensed copy of Beast Wars Optimal Optimus, essentially a redeco of the previous release in Optimus Prime colors. Gorira Prime does have a couple of new features for this release, the main one that is obvious on these images is a different, faceplated head.

Check out the images attached to this post.

Via our friend and sponsor Big Bad Toy Store, we have information and pictures of the Mu Model Transformers 3D Metal Puzzles.

These Transformers metal models are amazingly miniature 3D laser cut models that are assembled from metal sheets.  These models use a simple slot and tab design so no glue is required, just bend the metal tabs where instructed and attach pieces together.

BBTS has some listing for 3D Transformers Puzzles by a company called Mu Model. We have a Transformers G1 Mini 3D Metal Puzzle Model Kit Six Pack (includes Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Shockwave, Starscream, and Prowl in SD Style), Transformers G1 Optimus Prime 3D Metal Puzzle Model Kit (a complete G1 Optimus Prime model), Transformers TLK Optimus Prime Bust 3D Metal Puzzle Model Kit, Transformers TLK Megatron Bust 3D Metal Puzzle Model Kit, and a nice Transformers TLK Sqweeks 3D Metal Puzzle Model Kit.

iBooks has posted its latest three-page comic preview, this time for IDW Publishing’s Optimus Prime #10! On the eve of Earth’s formally joining the Council of Worlds, Optimus, Pyra Magna, and Starscream all gather to hear a tale from Alpha Trion: the origin of the Autobot symbol. It’s another story of Galvatron the barbarian in the era of the 13 Primes, and you can check out the pages–as well as a first look at Kei Zama’s cover for the issue–after the break, and then pick the issue up on August 30.

Transformers Age of Extinction and Transformers The Last Knight leading man Mark Wahlberg is the latest guest announced for Hasbro’s new all-brands convention, Hascon 2017. Playing the part of inventor turned freedom fighter / illegal alien robot refugee camp operator Cade Yeager in both movies, Mark Wahlberg brings an older and more weathered leading man to the movies after the departure of Shia LaBeouf’s Sam Witwicky.

He will be appearing at Hascon 2017 on 9 September 2017 alongside other Transformers alumni including Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, best known as the voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron, his fellow Transformers The Last Knight star Isabella Moner, live action movie series producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, IDW artist Marcelo Matere (who has also drawn many excellent pieces of artwork for the toy packaging), IDW’s Chris Ryall, Hasbro Transformers design team manager John Warden, and Transformers music legend Stan Bush.
