iGear Con Air Starburst Unlicensed F-22 Raptor Starscream
iGear have unveiled their latest project on Facebook. They are revisiting the Seekers with this latest not-Starscream, this time going with a design based on the E.J. Su F-22 Raptor design featured in the pre-All Hail Megatron arcs of IDW’s Transformers comics. Highly stylized, the design features bulky legs but perhaps too-thin arms, and a trademark Starscream smirk on the face-sculpt.
We wish to remind our readers that this is an unlicensed third party product, neither licensed or endorsed by Hasbro or Takara-Tomy. [Read more…]

TFC Toys possible not-Streetwise – Defensor Project?
By way of the Weibo account of Jeffry Zhong, who is associated with TFC Toys, we have a look at another TFC Toys prototype and possible project. The image is not completely clear, but what is on show is a police car or emergency vehicle with twin cannons in vehicle mode, and a robot mode where the vehicle hood forms the chest and the legs are formed from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle mode choice, armament and general arrangement of the robot mode seems to recall the design of Generation 1 Streetwise – so could this be a first look at a possible unofficial take on the Protectobots and Defensor? Watch this space for more information. [Read more…]
TFC Toys Conabus not-Headstrong and Phlogeus not-Rampage
TFC Toys via their Weibo has revealed the next two releases in their Ares not-Predaking project. The next two to come out are Conabus, an unofficial version of Headstrong, and Phlogeus, an unlicensed take on Rampage. The two characters keep up the trend of naming TFC’s gestalt members for mythological concepts, this time naming the two gestalt members for two of the Greek god Ares’ immortal steeds from Quintus Smyrnaeus’ fourth century AD epic, the Fall of Troy (which makes you wonder if the last two members will be named Aithon and Phobos for the other two steeds).

Cubex Unofficial Masterpiece Huffer
Third party group Cubex have posted images on their Weibo showing off a potential unlicensed Masterpiece Huffer. What is seen here is an obviously early prototype, but a promising looking release.

Check out the images attached to this post. [Read more…]
