Transformers Linkfest

Transformers: Generations Red Alert Gallery
Hit the link to get a look at the Classic 2.0 mold repainted to look like Red Alert. It is a repaint that has already been done about 4 times from that mold but I think most Generation One fans will be happy to see. The rather odd colored figured in the images is for Breakdown, a nod to the Generation 2 toy that was produced for Botcon 2010.

Voyager Banzaitron in Package
A front and back look at the figure in its packaging. The figure is simply a repaint of Bludgeon. Like many Transformers repaints, the color scheme strikes me as superior to the original release. I don't have a clue on when this figure will hit retail.

The Improbable Life of Stan Bush's The Touch
The song that just keeps going and seems to be the occasional go-to song when Hollywood wants to have a little fu. The classic use that made it a Transfan favorite is how it underscored one of the best Optimus Prime vs. Megatron fights of all time in Transformers: The Movie (below). From there it was used in Boogie Nights and a remix was used for a montage in last season’s Chuck (view at the link above). No telling where this classic will pop up next.

Power Core Combiners Huffer with Caliburst Video Review
A new review from Peaugh, this time for the Power Core Combiner 2-pack. This figure essentially is the torso piece for any combo of five piece combiners you may wish to create with other Power Core mini-cons. So far I mostly remain unimpressed by this line.

Masterpiece Grimlock Release Date
Hasbro has updated its site to indicate "Masterpiece Grimlock will be available on shelves July 1st at Toys R Us. This collector item includes exclusive accessories and deco." If you don't have this figure, I do recommend it as pretty sweet toy. The retail price is around $59.99USD.

Transformers Collector's Club Dion Video Review
Another Peaugh review, this time of a repaint of Hotshot from the Robots in Disguise from 2000. I was never impressed with the toy and the new color scheme doesn't help but maybe you will feel differently.
