We are saddened to report that veteran G1 voice actor Jack Angel has passed away, as confirmed by his agency’s Instagram account.

Mr. Angel’s legacy for the Transformers franchise includes several key characters from the original G1 cartoon such as: Omega Supreme, Ultra Magnus, Smokescreen, Astrotrain, Breakdown, Ramjet, Cyclonus, a Sweep and some other support characters of the show. Besides Transformers, he had a prolific career being part of other classic franchises like Voltron, Spider-Man: The Animated Series, G.I. Joe and more.

We offer our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Via Cang Toys Weibo we can share for your images of the gray prototypes of their CT-Chiyou-04 Kinglion (G1 Razorclaw) & CT-Chiyou-05 Thorgorilla. 

This new take on the G1 Predacons brings us a very interesting design, stylized for sure but still very recognizable as the classic G1 characters. We have a look at the lion mode of CT-Chiyou-04 Kinglion (G1 Razorclaw) and the robot mode of CT-Chiyou-05 Thorgorilla (new character, transforms into a gorilla). In both cases we can spot some changes compared to the first renders of each figure.

We still have no concrete information on price or release date, but you can see the mirrored images on this news post after the break and join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Thanks to Weibo user 圣斯基SOSKILL we can share for you several images of an assembly sample of the new Yolopark Bumblebee Movie Earth Mode Optimus Prime PLAMO (Model Kit).

Yolopark’s PLAMO model kits are quite detailed, poseable and challenging to build. This 30-cm tall Optimus Prime from the Bumblebee Movie is designed after his Earth Mode as seen in the film. As we can see from the images, this model kit shows an impressive amount of detail and moving parts, similar to what Yolopark did with their IIES Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime action figure.

This is just a sample, so the parts are not colored yet, but other PLAMO kits from Yolopark have featured colored pieces. According to Yolopark Facebook, pre-orders for this model kit should start soon, but it’s licensed only for Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippine, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
