Today we'll look at something pretty different. A while back I had mentioned
I have been in the process of buying several off the wall items from Brazil.
I received some more stuff and these were the highlight, large store displays
from 1993.
These displays are over 2 feet in size and made from a flexible and durable
pvc plastic. The backs are white and unmarked, while the fronts are very
colorful. They have holes at the top to hang them (one includes a set of
plastic pegs), and on the bottom are thin slits that can hold plastic runners
or metal pegs. The runners that came with these are very fragile from sun
exposure (one runner didn't survive the trip).
They feature artwork from the toyline and include the popular white Carrera
from the Argentinian Antex line. There's a lot of gray tape when it comes to
Estrela and Antex that we wont cover here. Both displays feature the logo for
"Magazine Mesbla", this same logo was seen on the small display from my
earlier post. One display has the tag line "They arrived! The most notable
group of superheroes invades Earth!"; while the other display says "Mesbla
takes you to the future."
What is Mesbla? It was a series of department stores that was a major player
in the Brazilian market in the 1980s through 1990s. Why do the displays all
say Magazine Mesbla? I'm not sure.
There is a real possibility that these are counterfeit items, made in recent
times using scans from several sources, but they could also be legitimate
items from the Estrela era of toys. In the foreign markets it wouldn't be
unheard of for stores to do whatever they wanted to promote a toyline.
I'm inclined to believe these are not modern fakes, but instead were generic
displays to promote the G1 toys (again, these are dated 1993, indicating a
late release by G1 standards and tying into the tail end of the European
releases). The cost for someone to reproduce something like this in Brazil
would require some pretty specific machinery as well as time and cost. The
age on the signs, especially the plastic runners, also indicates something
from the 1990s.
At the end of the day, I'm not sure what we have here. I personally hope it's
a bit of lost history for Transformers. Maybe I threw money into the wind, in
which case I have some really cool displays.
What do you all think? Were any of you living in Brazil during this time?
This era of Transformers is heavily under-documented beyond which toys were
made and a few catalog scans.
Either way, real or fake, I hope you can enjoy these beautiful pieces!

Battle of the Rock Lords!
Via Sonic Bomber-Core on FB. “Legacy Deluxe Shard. The next Infernac universe
Rocklord character. This one is my favorite so far, the commercial-style
helicopter is an alt-mode we don’t get often enough, and we finally get to
see these Rocklords shine with some real color. It helps that green is my
favorite color too 😉 I’m not sure what sort of weapon I’m meant to build
from Shard, they have a lot of nice modular pieces, but I figure I’ll wait to
let people show off what they come up with once more folks have this figure.”

It was 2001 and Beast Machines was falling hard in both viewership and toy
sales. It was time to wrap up the story that had breathed life back into the
Transformers Franchise and this meant calling it quits with any toys that
were currently in production or in development.
Before everything switched gears into the Robots in Disguise era, the last
few bots for Beast Machines hit the shelves, this includes what might be one
of the more unique figures made, Battle Unicorn. It is not known how many of
these were sold in stores, but it was an incredibly low amount, leading this
figure to sell for close to $100 within days! I, was beyond lucky to find my
original Battle Unicorn one night in a local Walmart. After this,
BigBadToyStore carried the figure online after getting a decent stock
directly from Hasbro.
This figure was a Basic Class figure and transforms from a Unicorn into a
robot that looks strikingly similar to a Samurai of feudal Japan. He is made
from black and translucent blue plastic with highlights of chrome red and
gold. A small mechanism on the left shoulder allows the head to bob up and
down and strike with its horn.
The transformation is pretty basic. The figure splits down the body rotating
everything upright and repositioning a few bits. It is simple in design, but
due to some small issues with the toy, you'll need to position everything
EXACTLY in the right spot to get the body to stay together. Another notorious
issue is with the left shoulder armor. It is on two small pegs that rarely
hold the armor and place and can be a pain in the butt to get back on. While
doing this photo set, it took me over a half hour to finally get the shoulder
on and have the Unicorn stand flat on the ground.
All of this aside, for me, this is one of the top ten figures made in the
Transformers Franchise. There's just something fun about having a
mean-looking Unicorn on your shelf, and in robot mode, with his giant axe, he
looks intimidating compared to other bots.
A few years later in 2003, during the Universe toyline, Battle Unicorn was
repainted as Magna Stampede. This version of the figure was now designed as a
Zebra Unicorn. The Zerba Unicorn has been seen several times in media with
notable instances being the MTG card "Zebra Unicorn" and WoW's Swift Zhevra
mount.
This figure has a pearlescent white that is offset with black highlights with
blue and dark brown chrome bits. Under the right lighting conditions it
nearly looks magical and again, like Battle Unicorn, is an impressive figure
on any shelf.
Both of these figures are very rare, with Battle Unicorn having a short
production run and Magna Stampede sold with a hard-to-find gift set. Expect
to pay around 75-$100 for loose examples. Battle Unicorn on card can range
all over the place but averages in the $100-$150 range. Magna Stampede was
sold with another basic class figure and two Min-Cons (though neither figure
had a Mini-Con port). This set sells from $100-$200. This pricing shows one
of the few times that loose figures are fetching the same prices as their
boxed versions; a testament to just how popular they are.
I Honestly feel every Transformer collection should have these two figures as
they are from a rather forgettable section of Transformers history. Even with
their flaws, I'd give these a 10 out of 10, but I'm biased as I've thought
Unicorns were kind of cool.

Let's do something a bit different today and take a quick peek into the world
of KO robots. If you'd like to see more stuff like this, let us know down
below; with over 5,000 robots sitting in "the Vault" I have tons of material
to write about!
A strange little figure from the 1980s/90s is Mosquite from the Insecto-Bots
toyline. This figure was released under several lines throughout the years
and is based on the Transformable Robot V World: Fighting Insects figure,
Mosquito.
Look, sometimes knockoff bots were pretty lazy, and when they were knocking
off a knockoff, you get a figure like this fella.
Filled to the brim with gold plastic, the trouble spots are the leg swivels
at the waist, where the plastic is incredibly thin and fragile.
This guy is beyond common in junk lots and with effort, you should be able to
find it for $5 or less. Carded examples cost $20+, with some sellers asking
over $100.

Studio Series Bumblebee Movie Concept Art Decepticon Rumble
I am really happy that Hasbro Takara Tomy decided to bring the concept art
designs into the Studio Series because some of those unused movie designs are
really great and this Rumble is definitely one of them.
Rumble is a simple yet very fun figure and having him just adds to BBM
Soundwave. Do you think they'll release another in a different color? Say
maybe a red colored version?

Looks like a new Transformers Haslab will be revealed on the next TF fan
livestream! Whoever could it be? What are your guesses? What are you hoping
for?
Based upon how the post was worded and the tags used, my guess would be Car
Robots God Fire Convoy aka RID2001 Omega Prime. "Fire up your engines" IE
Fire Engine, the robots in disguise hashtag and the combination lightning all
point towards God Fire Convoy to me however maybe thats a misdirect and its
actually Primus? Or maybe someone else? What do you think?

This is not an endorsement, nobody has been paid, this is just a review I've
been wanting to do for a while now. I've put this off since ToyRobot Magazine
started up around 3 years ago, but it's time to take Fans Project Saurus
Ryu-Oh off the shelf and do a mini-review of this monster.
Put out in 2015/2016, this figure is an homage to the G1 Dinokijng
Micromaster/Pretender combiner. He is made from six bots: Dino Ichi (a burly
monster that forms the chest), Dinoni (a bird-like monster that becomes an
arm), Dinosan (a four-legged beast that becomes the lower torso), Dinoshi (a
strange winged four-legged beast that becomes an arm), Dinogo (a werebeast of
some sort that becomes a leg), and Dinoroku (an upright gator type monster
that becomes a leg).
Each figure is colored to look like the original G1 toys and their names mean
Terrible One-Six. Pretty basic, but it works. For a third-party toy, expect
some tight joints, some loose joints, and maybe a bit of foul language as you
try to get everything to cooperate. Overall, this toy has held up well over
the years. The one pictured is several years old and has not worn down over
time, which can be surprising for the weight of the toy bearing down on a few
joints.
Each figure has a decent transformation, with my personal favorite being
Dinosan. I'm not sure what this little monster is, but it's overly cute in my
eye and I'd almost consider being a second one to display in beast mode. All
the figures come with weapons, though a few were nearly impossible to fit
into the robot's hands. You can also attach the Saurus Ryu-Oh feet to
Dinosan, but I didn't want to mess with it during the photo shoot.
To take the giant robot apart, transform each figure, and put him back into
combined mode took me around 2 hours, but I was using pictures as my guide
due to the instructions being in storage. Though a few parts felt very iffy,
there wasn't a major risk of anything breaking during Transformation. I would
advise extreme caution with Dinoni's wings, they felt much more fragile than
anything else on these bots.
The weapons of each figure can combine, but putting it together and taking it
apart can lead to some stress in the plastic, while other parts barely hold
together. A great concept, but I feel it is poorly executed. His battle axe
is absurdly large and looks cool.
There are add-ons you can buy for this guy, including extra weapons, and yes,
they made pretender shells for these figures, just like the G1 toys! These
add-ons are around $10 retail for the weapon packs and $70 retail for the
shells. However, based on each retailer, items may vary in price or if they
even have them in stock. Try to avoid the second market on the shells. The
Saurus Ryo-Oh figures are around $70 each or $400 ish for the combiner.
Again, different sites may have these on sale or may be out of stock, so I'd
advise looking around for a good deal.
Overall, I'm not a huge fan of third-party figures, but this is a solid toy
and achieves its goal of being a great homage to a very obscure G1 figure. If
you're feeling adventurous, and your pocketbook can take the hit, there is a
recolor of this set called Beastructor that is made to look like G1
Monstructor.

Time for another dive into the old-school world of Transformers!
Let's take a look at the combo that is Ginrai and Godbomber, AKA Power Master
Optimus Prime, and the extra trailer we never got in the USA until the 2000s.
I'll start off by saying that the figures shown here are a combination of an
original G1 toy (complete with yellowing), and the 2002 reissue of Godbomber.
Halfway through taking pictures I realized I had the Ginrai's reissue trailer
(with chrome), but didn't have the reissue Prime figure! This is what happens
when you buy lots of misc collections and forget to fill in gaps.
Ginrai (Hi-Q in North America) was the Godmaster (Powermaster) for this
version of Convoy and allowed him to turn into Super Ginrai, a combined form
of the trailer and main figure. The trailer could open up to hold smaller
toys and turned into a battle station. I was always disappointed with the leg
flaps in the battle station mode, as they would hang down and I always
wondered why there wasn't a basic connector of some sort.
This is a mid-run figure and shows where the line started slowing down on
detail and the toys became a bit chunky, you'll see this throughout the
Powermaster and Targetmaster era. This created sturdy figures, but all had
some sort of tight joints. The hips and trailer doors are notoriously tight
on this figure and can break if you are not careful. And good luck if you
want the Ginrai Godmaster to stay in the chest of Super Ginrai, during this
short photo session, he shot off no less than 5 times!
Godbomber was sold both separately and in a gift set with Ginrai. His alt
mode is an additional trailer that added some extra firepower to the overall
convoy mode (I unfortunately am missing his weapons for this example). The
robot is formed by taking everything apart and reassembling the toy. Be
careful as any kind of movement will turn him into a jumble of parts
resembling Ultra Magnus during the 1986 movie.
When put together (and not falling apart), this is a pretty cool-looking bot
and feels like a standout when compared to other figures from this time. The
downside is that his fragility almost completely eliminates any sort of play
value for a kid.
Godbomber holds one more secret though, and can be taken apart (again) and
added to Super Ginrai to create God Ginrai. This mode is pretty good-looking
and rather large.
Over time these figures saw several releases and repaints and there have even
been new versions of these toys like the ones seen in the Legends toyline
from 2017. Were these the best toys ever made, no, but they were fun and
oozed that 1980s Anime feel that was rarely captured in North America at the
time.
Today you can find complete G1 Powermaster Primes for a decent price, usually
in the $50-$75 range (be aware that Hi-Q can set you back $30 on his own, so
look for junk lots where he can be found for much cheaper). Godginrai reissue
sets should run around $100-$150. Oddly the most current giftsets of these
figures can go for nearly the same as the original G1 issues from Japan! For
those expect to pay nearly $250-$300+

Transformers Legacy United Voyager Class Optimus Prime
I'm very happy to see Transformers Animated being brought into Generations. I
knew that it wouldn't be too long of a wait after the release of Animated
Prowl before we would see Optimus Prime and in my personal opinion Hasbro
Takara Tomy did a great job.
Unlike some of the earlier Legacy releases, this one actually looks alot like
the source material really evoking that animated style albeit tempered
through a Generations lense. Im loving everything about the robot mode
especially the articulation. This figure has double jointed elbows and knees
that bend past 90 degrees on a single joint, universal hips and shoulders and
great head movement.
Conversion from bot to vehicle is fun although it could be a bit tricky the
first time with lining everything up just right and learning where everything
should go.
The vehicle mode is definitely Animated Optimus Primes vehicle mode, they did
a great job of recreating the floating type effect of the cab by making use
of semi hidden wheels. I really hope that there are plans in the works for a
trailer / powermaster armor for Amimated Optimus, it never showed up in the
show nor was it ever released in the past as a retail toy however stranger
things have been released that many said would never happen.
Legacy United Animated Optimus Prime is a great figure in my personal opinion
and it has me looking forward to more from the Animated Universe. This figure
is available now from various retailers and should be showing up in retail
soon if not already.

"As the men hid behind the dunes, there was a whirl of noise as the rotors of
an attack helicopter created a sandstorm around them. They were in the sights
of this formidable Autobot." ---soldiers journal entry.
OK, that's not from anything, I just wanted to work in puns on all three
names for the mold seen here. Today we look at Machine Wars Sandstorm. A heck
of a coll-looking toy and a retool of the late G1 European exclusive
Rotostorm (and later re-used for the Universe Whirl).
Machine Wars was an extraordinary line in the history of Transformers,
shoe-horned between G2 and Beast Wars, it was sold exclusively in Kay-Bee toy
stores and consisted of repaints from previous toylines. It consists of only
12 figures in the original release, (there were some later tie-ins from later
lines like BotCon). This makes it one of the shortest series in all of
Transformers history!
Sandstorm looks like he should be plagued by Gold Plastic Syndrome, but is
overall safe from this hazard, though we wouldn't advise putting him through
a series of tests.
His transformation is simple and his body is rather blocky, but an overall
solid design. A nice feature is the light piping in his eyes and the
transparent rotors look neat as well. If you're a fan of articulation, this
isn't your guy...his arms move and that's about it.
Overall this mold saw three very limited releases and is often forgotten by
Transformers fans, lost in the shuffle of thousands of toys. For myself, I
like these late Euro molds, they feel better than some of the late G1 stuff
coming from Japan. They far outshined the Micro Masters and Pretenders.
I totally forgot I even had this little gem, until I was looking for
something to post about today, but after taking him down for pictures, I may
just need to hunt down the other two versions of this toy for my collection.

G1 Quickmix is a Targetmaster and comes with two Nebulans: Boomer (blue) and
Ricochet (yellow). He turns into a cement mixer, while his Nebulans transform
into guns.
As a kid I didn't mind his rather blocky feel or simple transformation. I
loved how solid this figure felt, and thought he had a very unique looking
face.
By today's standards, the Nebulon Targetmasters seem cheap, but as a kid in
the 1980s it felt good to get more for your money, even if it was something
so simple. I have always felt these little guys were under appreciated,
especially for all the detail that went into their sculpts.
This sub genre of Transformers was pretty short lived, but they were a great
addition to the G1 line.

Today we are going to look at one of the harder-to-get GoBots made, Snoop,
the SR-71 Blackbird. Snoop was technically never released in North America,
even though there was advertising for her in catalogs (both as a single
figure and in a 3-Pack). She was, however, released in Europe and of course,
she had a Machine Robo counterpart (the series where GoBots came from).
Her transformation from Blackbird to Robot involves folding back the front
half of the plane, revealing her head. The front half of the engines can be
folded forward and extended to become the arms. The wings fold away and down
from the body to become the legs, while the wing flaps and tailfins fold
forward to become the feet. It's a nice and clever transformation, but due to
where the joints are in plane mode, this can cause issues over time. Often,
the tail end of the wings can droop and the neck of the plane can sag.
Overall she is an incredible figure and shows that Machine Robo molds still
hold up to the test of time (don't let that goofy GoBots cartoon ruin these
figures for you!). She has seen a little bit of a dip in value over the
years, mostly in part due to more of them showing up on the market. Once
fetching prices as high as $100, this figure now goes from $30-$60.
The figure shown here is an original Machine Robo figure, identifiable by the
extra stickers "Danger" and "Rescue" found on the plane; most loose examples
may come from the "Robo Machine" and "Machine Men" releases of the toy.
This figure (and any SR-71 Blackbird toy) holds a high place in my heart as
my father was trained to work on the camera systems found on these planes! He
also worked on the PAVE KNIFE system found on F4-R's.
