Transformers

Another look at the City Commander:



MP Grimlock confirmed:

"Ultimate Valour" To be true to his character setting, "a Transformer created by a Transformer", rivets are applied all over his body. He has "Waiter Mode" included and he comes with "brainwave transport" device. He can strike dinosaur-like poses as desired. His right fist contains LED light to light up his gun and sword. Both Dino and robot mode can change eye colours. Diecast is partly used.

Plus info and pics on the Mickeyformer:

Transform from a trailer truck to a robot. "Costume change" gimmick (Mickey Mouse in the driver's seat puts on a battlesuit when transforming to robot mode, and he appears on top of the robot head) is included. "Exciting gimmick" (Robot arms flap up and down when upper body is pushed down) included.

Alternity Megatron (Fairlady Z) also confirmed, but shown only as a silhouette. (That link also shows the JPN versions of some upcoming Universe releases, for those interested.)

EDIT: "Waiter mode"? wtf...

Thanks Gas.

Hot damn MP Grimlock looks awesome.

Holy shit, Mickey looks pretty rad too. I love that truck mode.

Both Mikey and Grimlock looks great.

Yeah, the Disneyfied version of Prime's traditional altmode works surprisingly well.

I'll be getting Mickey and Grimlock for sure.

On a totally unrelated note, I transformed ALL of my Alternators back to their car forms. I can do that shit without instructions now, since I had like at least 2 chances per mold.

Wasn't as bad as I'd been dreading, even though the Mustangs arms gave me some trouble, I figured them out pretty quickly.

Hi-res gallery of Universe Inferno... while he still looks great, this latest round of pics does reveal one fly in the ointment:

As you can see, they cheaped out on the light-piping, using colorless translucent plastic and painting the eyes blue instead of simply using translucent blue plastic. This tends to look pretty bad under light, as those who bought Movie Leader Brawl last year can attest.

I picked up vintage and concept bumble, and Arcee for $3 each last night. They still had the dune buggy and little blue van thing. Oh and the huge green movie tank for about 12. All damaged box mark downs.

Nice haul. If you don't already have him, you should go back and get Landmine, he's a pretty good mold. Payload OTOH blows, three bucks is still too much for him. :p
