(Ages: 4 & up; Approximate Retail Price: $49.99 each)
The worlds of G.I. JOE and TRANSFORMERS collide in toy form. The new G,I, JOE: SKY STRIKER jet receives a custom make-over to become the vehicle form of legendary DECEPTICON STARSCREAM. The COBRA COMMANDER figure, which can fit in the cockpit of the jet, features the classic character in a flight suit and comes with a custom Walther P38 pistol - well known to TRANSFORMERS fans as the alt-mode of DECEPTICON leader MEGATRON!

TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON SPECIAL EDITION ULTIMATE OPTIMUS PRIME FIGURE
(Ages: 5 & up; Approximate Retail Price: $79.99)
Fans will have their first chance to get their hands on the new TRANSFORMERS MECHTECH ULTIMATE OPTIMUS PRIME action figure at Comic-Con, with a special edition foil-wrapped, slide-out package and customizable sticker sheet. This special edition ULTIMATE OPTIMUS PRIME will be the only way to get the figure displayed in vehicle and trailer mode; the trailer doubles as a weapons arsenal and is an integral part of the figure's converting play pattern. The MECHTECH ULTIMATE OPTIMUS PRIME figure features lights, launching projectiles, electronic battle sounds and phrases and three modes of conversion – vehicle, robot, and robot with "mech suit." The trailer, which serves as a weapons depot and command center, also converts into a "mech suit" that OPTIMUS PRIME shows off when it's time to rumble.

TRANSFORMERS PRIME OPTIMUS PRIME FIRST EDITION FIGURE
(Ages: 5 & up; Approximate Retail Price: $19.99)
With the mainline series not available until later in 2011, be among the first to get an action figure based on the style of The Hub's hit animated series, TRANSFORMERS PRIME with this special edition figure. This deluxe class OPTIMUS PRIME figure converts from robot to truck mode and features a premium deco only available in this special edition Comic-Con figure. And, in true TRANSFORMERS fashion, the “Matrix of Leadership” packaging in which the figure is housed ‘converts’ into a wearable piece!

I recieved part of my Shapeways order yesterday, some rifles for Classics Prowl & Silverstreak based on the ones from the G1 toys,

I also ordered one for Smokescreen as well as a set of Kup's pistols from "Last Stand of the Wreckers" but for some reason they split the shipment and I only got the first 2.

I painted them with Tamiya chrome silver.

This one will be baddass. But isn't Buster Primes bottom feet and windshield top trim whatever you call it the only chrome parts?

Grille and sun visors, unfortunately yes thats the only chrome.

 

[Ra88]

Yup. I will miss it on the windshield pieces, but I don't mind that the grill will be de-chromed. No risk of scratching it.

At least the paint should still be nice. I agree with you about the grill. It would look nice but I would worry about scratching it.

Most Vacuum metalized chrome is very strong and durable, ive never had a problem with it on any of the toys i have that have it. I have a 2007 takara premium prime which has chrome all over it including the feet, had it for 3 or 4 years now and never had a problem.
Its when the chrome has been painted on is when you need to worry.

iGear have revealed PP-04,

Looks like they've dropped the New Beetle reshell of the Classics BB mold and are doing an original mold that turns into a Classic Beetle

 

[Dubcustomz]

Classic Beetles forever!
I'll make an exception to my rule of not allowing KO's into my collection if the actual toy looks this good. I'll get two, one for my display case and one to stick in the back window of my '72 bug.

 

[bcm77]

Lots of repaint potential with that mold too,

Bumblebee
Goldbug
Glyph
Bugbite

If the car parts were reshelled,
Cliffjumper
Bumper\Hubcap.....are these two the same character?

 

[Ra88]

That definitely looks terrific. I'm happy with my Classics Bee (love how much personality it has), but that looks like it will be the ultimate G1 Bumblebee figure.

 

[encline_designs]

man.... I really disliked IGEAR.. but now... man... they are making some "original" stuff I want....


Ohh..let's hope JETWING gets here soon!!

I feel the same way about iGear, but their Kup head is tits. Also I got a Buster Prime!!!

 

[bcm77]

They're certainly trying to get past their controversial beginnings and if Ironhide, Ratchet, Bumblebee & the other Minibots live up to their promise I can see more people being won over.

And that's without mentioning Impactor and the possibility of the other LSOTW cast.

All the heads are done so hopefully they have original molds planned for Guzzle, Rotorstorm, Pyro & Ironfist.

My only concern is that they become a bit TOO ambitious and Hasbro's legal Wreckers spring into action but whilst the figures are released in such a limited way I cannot see that happening.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Yeah iGear needs to cut the ____ and try to be a little more original.

 

[Ra88]

HOLY ____! https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/434916-prototype-g1-cartoon-soundwave.html
