Titans Return – Transformers Generations Hardhead and Blurr

Photo-A-Day #4276

I have been a fan of Transformers since I was 10 years old. I’ve got 32 years invested in this franchise. From the toys to the cartoons to the movies and comic books I have been in very deep. During that very first Christmas that Transformers were on the scene my grandparents, parents and great uncle got me a bunch of them. Going into Christmas I already had Optimus Prime and Wheeljack. When Christmas came I had a huge collection. I stayed up all night learning how to transform each one blindfolded, putting on stickers them and setting them all up on display. I love these characters so much.

This Christmas I picked up two Transformers figures that were based on characters from my early days as a fan. I collected the comic books, especially the Headmasters series. This was a four issue mini series about some Transformers crashing on a planet and the inhabitants of the planet became binary bonded to the Transformers as either their heads or their weapons. These new figures look amazing and have great transformations plus they have detachable heads that become robots as well. These are based on the original Headmasters figures from the 80’s I picked up Blurr (not originally a Headmaster) and Hardhead (was a Headmaster) for Christmas.

Unboxing Transformers Generations Sergeant Kup

When the lights went out at home today I was in the basement searching for a Transformer to unbox. Then they came back on quickly and back off again. So we went early to the Spaghetti Supper fundraiser for Triboro Youth Theater. It was a bit sparse as far as people there but we had a great time. The kids were very well behaved even when I told them to take one dessert.

As far as today’s Transformer I was excited to find this other Sergeant Kup. The cool thing is that this was a Generations Kup instead of the Transformers Prime Sergeant Kup that I reviewed earlier this year. This one looks like Kup from 1986’s Transformers The Movie. The transformation is pretty simple and when all is said and done he is tall, looks cool in both vehicle and robot mode. Here is my full video below.

Transformers Tuesdays: Unboxing Junkheap

Continuing to unbox my Transformers collection on Tuesdays I have Junkheap from the Generations line of figures. Junkheap is a motorcycle from the planet Junkion. There were a few figures made in this line that were from Junkion. Wreck-Gar, the most famous Junkion was also made and I do not know if I actually have him somewhere in my collection. I know that I never had the original figure but I do have the Transformers Animated figure because I bought that off eBay years ago. Everything else I have to say about this fun figure is in today’s vlog.

Want to help build the next Transformer Combiner?

Combiner Wars is the next BIG thing from Transformers. The comic books are starting to get into it and the toy line is slowly creeping out all over the place. I know that I am less than a month away from seeing so many more Transformers down in New York at Toy Fair and I can not wait! I’ll be posting a ton of photos from that trip right after and as it happens. But for now I can tell you about something that is happening right now that you can be a part of. I downloaded the app from the press release below and I placed my votes for a new Transformers Combiner.

HASBRO INVITES TRANSFORMERS FANS TO CREATE MASSIVE TRANSFORMER CHARACTER TO ENLIST IN THE COMBINER WARS

Fans Can Soon Create an All New Transformer in “Fan Built Combiner Poll”

Pawtucket, R.I. (January 26, 2015) —TRANSFOMERS fans around the world are invited to help create a new character for the popular TRANSFORMERS brand — but not just any character. Following on the heels of the 30th anniversary “Fan Built Bot” poll, which led to the fan-assisted creation of the popular AUTOBOT character, WINDBLADE, Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) is launching the new “Fan Built Combiner” poll. This crowdsourcing project seeks fan input to create a new team of TRANSFORMERS robots that combine into one giant new character in celebration of the theme of the 2015 TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS line: COMBINER WARS!

Starting today, the official TRANSFORMERS brand app (formerly the official TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION app) will be updated and fans will be able to log-in and answer a round of questions to help shape the identity of the new Combiner characters. The Fan Built Combiner poll will allow fans to determine everything from the types of vehicles involved, to whether the characters will be AUTOBOTS or DECEPTICONS, and eventually the name of the new character.

Transformers Generations: Wheeljack


Photo-A-Day #2342

I was at Walmart the other day and as luck would have it I had a gift card on me and I found four awesome Transformers Generations characters including Warpath, Sergeant Kup and Thundercracker. The character I’ve been really waiting for though has been Wheeljack. Wheeljack was the first Transformer that I ever got when I was a kid. I have that one and I have one of the original Wheeljack characters still in the box. I’m glad to now have this one as part of my collection.
