At Auto Assembly 2015 there was a presentation of a lot of upcoming third party products, given by the awesome team of Ceno Kibble and Cassy Sark (free toys were thrown into the crowd periodically). While a lot of the information given in the duration was the same as what was shown at TFcon 2015 last month, Nonnef Productions had a significantly larger presentation – given by guest presenter, Tuxedo Mike!
We’ve got a quick rundown of all that was shown, which includes:
- Combiner Wars Ironhide and Sunstreaker chest addons, which give the toys their Generation 1 chests, and can remain attached when transforming from robot to vehicle mode.
- Upgrade kit for Combiner Wars First Aid to convert him into Ratchet.
- The previously shown foot and hand addons for the Combiner Wars gestalts, which include articulated hands and ankle tilt feet.
- Chest kit for Generations Nightbeat, which replaces the existing chest and again does not need to be swapped out for the vehicle mode.
- Chest and head kit for TCC subscription figure Carzap, to convert him into a classics Masterforce Minerva.
- Rotary cannon accessory for Generations Dreadwing, based on the Generation 2 original.
- Replacement hip ratchets for the Combiner Wars Optimus Prime, Motormaster, Silverbolt, Hot Spot, and Onslaught were also discussed. They are designed to have twice as many clicks to improve posing options.
- Lastly, a set of clips are being made to let Combiner Wars Blackjack attach to Motormaster in a couple of different ways, including one designed for Rodimus to allow him to attach his axe to his back to act as a spoiler.
We’ve got some images of the slides, courtesy of TFW2005 member Mort, as well as an image of the Ironhide and Sunstreaker chests from Tuxedo Mike’s own Twitter account!

I notice in the pictures of nightbeat shown at autoassembly that he has yellow thighs, are those painted or a kit replacement?

Who is in the photo 26 and 27..??
nonnef
Full injection with metal molds. Factory finish.
Have all the mills and injectors right here in house so we don't need to worry about overseas productions. By handling the entire pipeline ourselves we can keep the costs lower for the customers.

That's a Glaug shapeways kit upgrade for Beast Hunters Deluxe Starscream.

Since when did we have a nautica figure? Is that a tfcc figure?
Tom-1
I hate to sound like a dope but I've never heard of Nonnef!
Are they finished, factory-mae products or Shapeways/3d-print/garage kits?
Tom
Fort Max
Just those two mentioned.
Scaleface
Just the Lugnut and Depth Charge versions or are they also doing the other remolds/redecos, like Skyquake and Straxus?
I believe both are Shapeways kits by Glaug. Thunderclash is a heavily converted Classic Voyager Optimus Prime, and Nautica is a Beast Hunters Deluxe Starscream conversion.

The panel was every bit as entertaining as last years one, Sid and Nick are great hosts but sadly they hadn't been given anything new to show by anyone since TF Con. With the exceptions of Nonnefs parts and Sid offered some more information on their original property the Unrustable Bastards.
He talked about plans for a rival gang based on the look of the crazy 88s from Kill Bill and some Law Enforcement with a Judge Dredd feel that would be car based. He also talked about how they want to build a community around this property and they will be opening the fiction aspect up wide and give people the opportunity to submit their own stories, fan made characters etc.
The Q & A brought up one little gem though, Nicks Lugnut/Depth Charge design that was shown last year has been rescued and will be released by a new company, he said that they had already lined up a factory with plenty of experience in making toys so quality should not be an issue.
