Philippine influence shows up in Transformer Toys
Uncategorized: March 8th, 2008Yes, you read that right. I read this designer note while browsing Hasbro’s website for some new Transformers toys: This DECEPTICON jet uses deco inspired by the Russian Air Force SU-37 Flanker- F prototype. The design team went with this deco to provide something that had realistic cues but still stood out. The “Decepticon Air [...]
Decepticon Barricade Spotted in Vegas Streets
Uncategorized: March 15th, 2008Well, not really, but a man there decorated his mustang to look like the subversive cop car/hunter. LAS VEGAS, N.M. – Jessie Vigil’s black-and-white car sports a red-and-blue emergency bar across the top and the word “police” painted on the doors. Vigil, however, isn’t a cop. Law enforcement agencies say what he’s done with his [...]
The Mountain Dew Robot in the Transformers Movie Has a Toy
Uncategorized: July 19th, 2008I was actually wishing they’d come out with a toy for that robot. I would’ve so bought that. I’m referring to this guy: He’s a Mountain Dew vending machine that transforms into a four-armed Decepticon. Here’s a cleaner render of him: He’s officially named Dispensor. And here’s the toy: Geez…cutesy figurines? I was hoping they’d [...]
Homemade Transformer Robots
Uncategorized: October 18th, 2008Zhejian, China–scrap metal dealer, Mr. Zhu, geeked out when he decided to build life-sized Transformers-like robots from stuff in his haul. And we’re not talking about plates, hinges and kibble from household stuff–we’re dealing with motorcycles and cars here: Sure, they don’t really tranform nor they’re actual characters from any Transformers continuity, but still…just being [...]
Yao Ming…as a Transformer
Uncategorized: December 6th, 2008Some cross-over franchises are just plain weird. Nike and the Transformers was ok. It was cute when McDonalds had transforming robots (alt modes: milkshakes, fries and burgers). But the NBA and the Transformers? It could’ve worked but they decided to do Yao Ming transforming into a basketball. Yup, a robot, with a human head converting [...]
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen First Look Pics
Uncategorized: December 29th, 2008These look like they’re real but it’s not much. You can see the pics in the link below. The pictures don’t show any of the new robots (and neither do first posters) but the following, I think, is more valuable: USA Today also points out the new robots that will invade the film. They are [...]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Toy Haul
Uncategorized: June 5th, 2009ROTF toys were release 30 May 2009, all over the world, I think. They released it here in Madripoor* at 00:01 in one of the Toys R Us. I didn’t go to the event because I was anticipating it would be children’s thing…and we had Japanese night here at home. So, the following morning, I [...]
