Nice behind-the-scenes video from A3U:
Cardboard Bots
It was nice to put a face to those names/icons.
The Smirker
I still don't know how to pronounce fanstoy's cyclonus's name because of you.
hardreturn

You know what\'s rad?
MTMTE/Lost Light is popular enough that Yet Another MP Cyclonus is gonna come with an optional IDW-Look set. That\'s the best thing in this entire slideshow aside from – holy crap, what are those weird G1/Zoids mashup guys?!
Bnz Toy
Thanks for the pix but that was an unpleasant experience going through your pix.

Nice to see some more MP-styled combiners getting thrown into the mix, especially the Stunticons. I don't buy 3P figures, but I'm very impressed with what I see, and it only makes me hope that Takara will hopefully come up with something soon enough.

I guess the MP Menasor wars are real. DX9 seems to be making a concerted effort to get more G1-accurate, but XTB's is cheap…conflicted. No interest in TransforMission as they're too IDW to fit an MP collection, but damn.

Not much to write home about is there?
The powerglide is a nice surprise though from DX-9. Have to pick that up.

I hope that is the case, I'm not too sure I would like the armor if I had to either use the Optimus figure I already have or buy another one just for the armor.

I heard they originally had 4 slides detailing their very last combiner, made up of 4 F(X) Headmasters. Supposedly the combiner's name is the following: TFTM. As usual it got me thinking about what it could possibly stand for, just like how Storm Robin stands for Brain Storm but I think I finally got it, it stands for Thanks For The Memories.

For UM. Maybe they are just showcasing the armor and reusing the truck mold.

Let's perform a real magic trick and see Fansproject slides
Bob Schoonover
So with PX slides randomly appearing today, can we hope for DNA or SND slides tomorrow?

Are they? I hadn't heard that; that would be cool. I was pretty happy they had finished Combaticons and the out-of-no-where Sideswipe and Sunstreaker reveal.
I was surprised that Unique Toys didn't send slides of their War in Palm Cerebros, Highbrow, Apeface and Snapdragon though.
And that DX9 didn't have an update on WiP Soundwave.
