Beast Wars Prototypes, Unused Concepts, Prototypes, and More

Posted on June 19, 2019 at 11:50 pm by Matty under Beast Wars

This past weekend Robocon was in full swing, which included a display full of Beast Wars prototypes, unused concepts, and much more! Included in the display are of course those prototypes we as fans love to see with their wacky colors or mix of parts to create the figures we eventually release from their cardboard prisons! Also included is a great piece of insight into ideas that fans rarely see such as a crazy concept for Beast Wars toys which included rubber / latex coating to cover up joints of the figure.

It’s rare to see such a collection of figures so be sure to click the discussion link below for more images and details from those that attended the show about these incredible items! Hat tip to the convention crew and attendees for sharing!

It has been a while since Fans Hobby shared an update on this project, but via their Facebook account we have some great images of the Fans Hobby Thunderclash Gray Prototype.

This a very promising extensive remold of Fans Hobby MB-06 Powerbaser (Powermaster Optimus Prime) which seems slightly inspired by IDW Thunderclash. We are yet to see how the inner robot or the alt mode would be, but we are sure the images shown will catch your attention.

Check all the images by yourself after the jump, and then join to the discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Transformers Cyberverse Ultimate Class Optimus Prime & Bumblebee Out In Argentina

Posted on June 18, 2019 at 10:49 am by Black Convoy under Transformers Cyberverse, Transformers Sightings

Thanks to 2005 Boards member Brave Magnus for reporting that the Transformers Cyberverse Ultimate Class Optimus Prime & Bumblebee are out in Argentina.

These big and easy-to-transform toys were spotted at Kinderland stores in Ramos Mejia, Buenos Aires. It’s good to see new toys at shelves, but they are priced not-so-economic $86.00, which is not a great price for the toy market in the area.

Additionally, the new Rescue Bots Mega Mighties Hot Shot was also found at the same store.

Happy hunting!
