Just released today: first trailer for the new Transformers: Age of Extinction movie. We have our first good look at Mark Wahlberg... erm, the Autobots and Decepticons with their new designs.
My first impression is not much difference from the previous Bayformers designs. The bot that caught my eye is the one that Optimus Prime rides on. It should be Grimlock, but looks more like a dragon than a dinosaur/T-rex.
Here's my G1 interpretation of the above scene. "C'mon Grimlock! Just like in the trailer!"
Which Transformer are you most looking forward to in the movie?
I bought this Optimus Prime T-shirt from Qwertee. It caught my attention because it has two toy series that I love - Transformers and Lego!
MP-10 checking it out. I think he approves?
Robot Kingdom announced on their Facebook page that Striker Optimus Prime will be reissued as an 'Asia Premium Series' version - APS-01. Difference with the previous DA-28 is this new version will have chrome parts, brighter colours and the battle blades are included.
Robot Kingdom has also opened this for pre-order on their website here. The price is a little high, and since I already have DA-28 I won't be pre-ordering. Let's see when (if?) this reach local shops, if the price is lower, then I might consider getting.
Among the Transformers Prime Autobots, the only character I haven't bought a toy for is... Optimus Prime! I guess I knew there will definitely be more versions and repaints released in the future, and was waiting for one that will really wow me.
When I had the opportunity to buy the Weaponizer version at "cheaper than retail even after 20% discount" price, I jumped at the chance to finally own a TF Prime... erm, Prime!
Continuing from my review of Fall of Cybertron Optimus Prime, I compare this latest Cybertronian Optimus with the previous two from War for Cybertron (Generations/United series) and The War Within (Titanium series).
After having reviewed Fall of Cybertron Jazz and Shockwave, here's the final figure of the first wave: Autobot leader Optimus Prime!
I'm generally not a fan of the Bayformer Primes; didn't get the Buster, Jetwing or Butterfly Ultimate versions. Somehow I'm attracted to the Vehicle Battle Mode of this Prime. And when
I saw it while on holiday in Tokyo (at cheaper-than-retail price!) I decided to get it.
