Seawing

GT — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 23:00:44 +0000

The second member of the Seacon team, Seawing (SE2), takes flight under the waves as a turquoise, black and grey robotic manta ray. A manta ray with legs, that is. It's a very stylised look, with the wing span forming a near perfect half-circle. Seawing is certainly the sleekest looking Seacon.

Overbite

GT — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 23:00:35 +0000

Overbite, designation SE1 on the packaging, assumes the form of what the instructions charitably refer to as a "monster". Actually, it looks a lot like a shark with arms and legs. In fact, the Marvel UK comics do depict the character as a (limbless) mechanical shark. But they also call the character Jawbreaker. So what do they know?

Dirge (2009)

GT — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 23:00:41 +0000

Every Transformer by the name of Dirge these last 25 years has always been a newly coloured and/or newly modified version of Starscream. So with the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen NEST sub-line, something completely novel and unexpected has happened: Hasbro has released an all-new, virgin mould Dirge!

This Week’s New Transformers Comics, 21 July 2010

GT — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 23:00:55 +0000

Just one Transformers comic this week (Transformers Nefarious #5), and the trade paperback collection of the Transformers: Bumblebee mini-series. The Nefarious series is proving to be worth reading so far, despite slipping under the radar of most Transformers comic book readers.

This Week’s New Transformers Comics, 14 July 2010

GT — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:00:48 +0000

Soundwave fans should be very happy this week! Two comics this week, one (digital) from IDW and the other from Titan, feature the Decepticons' master of frequency modulated machinations. Oh, and Combaticons in IDW's Transformers Ongoing #9.

Brawn

GT — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 12:00:27 +0000

Brawn, one of the toughest Autobots, certainly had a tough time in Transformers during his time on Earth. As one of the Ark’s original crew, Brawn was one of the first Transformers to set foot on our fair planet. He took to its rough terrain like a 4x4. Literally, in fact.

“Icarus Theory”

GT — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 00:00:29 +0000

Here's a little secret about Transformers: They can't die. After the events of Transformers #32's "The Wrath of Grimlock", the Autobots thought that Swoop was liquefied by the explosive effects of a high density thermo-nuclear bomb. The readers did, too.

Brawl

GT — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 23:00:55 +0000

A vision of Brawl appeared to Buster Witwicky during a nightmare in Transformers 63’s “Second Generation”. Brawl’s first mission on Earth was to accompany Megatron and the rest of the Combaticons to Energy Futures Industries with the intent of stealing the company’s hydrothermacline technology.

Bumblebee (2010)

GT — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 00:00:27 +0000

It's 2010. Hasbro has re-branded its Universe line into Transformers: Generations, a platform from which to release what it calls "legacy" characters from all generations of Transformers. One of the first Transformers from this range is the ever-popular Bumblebee. And this time he's part of the oldest generation of all, and the one Transformers collectors have been intrigued about for more than 25 years: the ancient civil war on Cybertron.
