Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy Unicron In Hand Gallery

Posted on April 12, 2021 at 5:40 pm by Tony_Bacala under Generations / Classics, Transformers Toy Gallery Updates

It is the year 2005… wait a minute. How did it get to be 2021? Anyway. We are now 16 years past the 19 years into the future that was 2005 – in the 86 movie. And boy has it been a ride. Even back when I started TFW2005 21 years ago, and a decade after that, and almost a decade after THAT – I never thought what is inside this article would ever exist. A massive, gigantic, big, huge, diesel, heavy, spiky, fully transforming, completely round, Unicron. But it does, and it’s here, and I photographed it. And it’s on my shelf now.

I was going to do a full on review, super wordy, rare for me. Take comparison pics galore. Talk about the history of the character and toys he’s had over the years. After it hit April 1, that was off the table. Then I was going to do a full on bitch fest post about how the shipping was handled, since that was like eating spoonfuls of salt for like 2 months. Now, I’m doing neither. It’s been in the hands of collectors since February. And a significant chunk of US folks now have him too. There are 1700+ pages of discussion on the big guy here. A pretty fun appreciation thread here. Tons of videos, pics, and thoughts here on TFW2005 and around the web. If you want to dig in, go for it.

I enjoy doing photography, it’s been my way to “play” with these guys for the last 10 years or so. So even though this isn’t hot off the presses, wanted to give him a run. I thought it would be the most challenging figure I’ve shot, and I was right. Both at a basic and fancy pants level, mainly because he’s just SO FRIGGIN BIG! Wanted to see if I could do it, and I think they came out good. So, if you want to see some pretty shots of the big guy one more time, read on to check out the highlights in this article, or head on over to the gallery system on TFW2005 for over 135 HD pics.

Aside from logistics at the end and that one paint change – it’s an impressive piece and I dig it. I’d like to thank the Hasbro team for taking a chance on it and getting it done. It’s a centerpiece, a true centerpiece, to a 30+ year run of being a fan.

Carl’s Jr. Star Pals Evergreen Transformers Toys In-Hand Images

Posted on April 12, 2021 at 8:00 am by Black Convoy under Transformers Cyberverse

Thanks to 2005 Board member @tankor92 for sharing in our boards in-hand images of the new Carl’s Jr Star Pals Evergreen Transformers Toys that have been released in Mexico.

There’s only 2 Transformers figures released: Optimus Prime and Bumblebee (together with 2 My Little Pony figures). Packaging comes with some small coloring activity pages and each 10-cm toy comes with stickers to give them extra details.

Bumblebee is the only “transforming” figure, but you just take out the robot which is hidden under the car mode and that’s all. Optimus Prime is a non-transforming figurine. He can move his right arm by pressing a button on his back. The battle axe can be placed in any of his hands.

We still have no concrete information if these figures would be released in the US. Click on the bar to see the mirrored images on this news post and then share your impressions on the 2005 Board!

Thanks to a user on 4chan and board member Autobot Burnout, we have our first look at the highly-anticipated Studio Series 86 Leader Class Slag! There’s only two images right now, but we have a full look at both his dino and robot modes as well as a glimpse at the exo-suit Daniel figure he comes with! In addition to all this, his robot mode picture features him alongside Grimlock, Hot Rod, Earthrise Optimus, and Kingdom Huffer so we get a good idea of just how big this hunk of beryllium bologna really is.

Update: Thanks to board member Seth Sunthay, we have additional images!

Check out the pics after the jump and be sure to share your thoughts in the discussion below!
