New Human Alliance Figures reveled!!!

Article By: Patrick Cuddy

The website The-Arker has posted Images of new Revege of the fallen Human Alliance Figures! These Include Autobot Skids with Makila and Sideswipe with Sergeant Epps. Both are approxemently voyager sized and come with a human figure that can sit inside the alt mode of the figure. 

Bios:

Autobot Skids likes to think of himself as pretty capable, but the fact is Mikaela is a better driver than he is. With her behind the wheel, and him concentrating on squeezing every last bit of power out of his engine, even the fastest, most powerful Decepticons have trouble keeping up

When Sideswipe arrived on Earth, he was a raw, untrained fighter, used to battling alone and outnumbered. He was teamed with Epps so the tech sargeant could whif him into shape as an effective member of the strike team led by Ironhide. The two have become good friends. In combat, Epps' combat-hardened instincts direct the speed and cunning of Sideswipe with devastating effectiveness.

Sweet, some of these look pretty decent, but also chunky. Can't wait to see a review on these so I can make my mind.

Endgame Part 2 Now Online!


Article By Destron23

The final episode of animated has now aired. Many unansered questions remain, but hopefully Animated will have some news at Botcon.





Sigh.... So many questions unanswered. Like how Sari's origins are linked to the nemesis when the nemesis itself went to the moon in present time. Ratchet and Arcee's reunion should have been played up more. Also we never really get to find out what happens to Ultra Magnus, and WHERE the heck does Optimus get the MATRIX!!!! I'm also a bit dissapointed we never got to see team Charr and Rodimus Prime's crew again. Also, there is still no name for the female Starscream. It was also kind of sad to see Starscream die, if anyone should have done it, it should have been Megatron. Too bad Prowl didn't mention anything about Yoketron's final words to Jazz. Really wish we had another season.

One thing I did like though, was that Megatron finally called Optimus by his name. Also, Omega Supreme finally gets the recognition he deserves.

Transformers Endgame Part 1 Now Online!


Article by Destron23

In this episode, the decepticons prepare to bring their master plan to fruition, while the earth bound autobots attempts to stop the evil doers, all in this two part series finale.






Great Episode! Loved Lugnut supreme and Lugnut's conflict with Shockwave. Loved to see some of Prime's past tied up, I really enjoy how they met Prowl. Also, I love the Cybertron Reference with Optimus' Jet pack, he even has the two guns on it! Hope we get to see more female Starscream, and find out her name!

Ironically, this episode didn't seem as dramatic as a series finale should be.

ROTF Combining Devastator! With individual Robot Modes!


News Article By: TACToy Wizard.net has shown us new images of ROTF EZ collection DX Devastator. These are the Japanese Versions of the legends. Its amazing that the large versions with bot modes dont combine, yet a tiny version that has great modes for each bot can. This dev's looks really sweet! Also keep in mind that scrappers and rampages bot mode pics has been swapped.

Tac's opinion: This is awesome. If this doesn't go out anywhere but to japan, i will order one, not matter if its $100! If the big ones do combine and have bot modes, then i'll still get this. That head looks nicely sculpted. Also this proves the 7th constructicon Overload! (the red truck thing).

The new animated episode is up! This is the second last episode, if you count Endgame as one. Thie episode features Fanzone and Ratchet's adventure on Cybertron! Go and check it out!






OMG This was an AWESOME Episode!!!!!! Cameos galore! I thought it was going to be a filler, but I was wrong! Ratchet and Fanzone were awesome! Intrestingly enough, Flareup sounds like fairlady Z from Botcon! RATRAP (or Rattletrap according to the credits)!!!!!!!! Shockwave's true colours!!!! Lugnut's Jealousy!!!! Naming of Metroplex and Fortress Maximus!!!! Tracks! And Macaddam's oil house! Can't wait for Endgame, though I'm terribly dissappointed animated's going to end. Also, Shockwave sounded a lot creepier now, which is a good thing! Oh, and this was the first episode to exclude Optimus.

Transformers Aniamted Powerglide


Article By Destron23

s250, has found an animation model for Powerglide. It is unknown if he will show up in the next three episodes, but he made a small appearance in Decepticon Air.
He looks really nice! Though it's a bit strange to see that he's not a plane, especially with a name like Powerglide. Though that's the thing about animated. The autobots aren't flyers except for Omega Supreme and the Jet twins.
