Optimus Prime & The Autobots at the Manila International Auto Show!

2010-04-16T13:46:00.010+08:00

04.16.2010 - If you haven't been to this year's Manila International Auto Show you must be stuck in a cave, and just raving about the toys you had recently acquired. One of the few true Transfans must be ecstatic about this year's car show. Vince Nunez our man was at the MIAS 2010 event with fellow bloggers, who made a coverage and was making everyone envious when he spotted Bumblebee at the Chevrolet display minus the racing stripes.

He also saw a Generation One Autobot named Jazz parked at the extended custom display section all white with those exact racing stickers. There where a lot of cars on display as well as hot babes standing by for a photo op.

Most notable cars on the show room floor are the Chevy Camaro, Ford GT40 (Binaltech Rodimus), and the Porsche (G1 Jazz). Subaru has the latest Impreza but its no longer familiar as the 2003 model, that looked like Silverstreak.

Cars and babes mix altogether plus thrown in some true blue TransFans then you got yourselves a kick as meet-up. This year's theme is Taking Motorists Into the Future and definitely this show is not only for TransFans, but as well as those who has the affinity and love for cars.

Addressing that need is the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), an annual venue for car buyers and enthusiasts to take a closer look at the latest models and significant concepts from the Philippines’ premiere auto makers. The 2010 show is scheduled from 15 to 18 April at the World Trade Center, Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City. Manila Auto Show’s sixth year is expected to fortify its standing as the most all-embracing auto show in the country with this year’s theme: “Crossing Boundaries.”

The MIAS is the best venue to get good deals while looking for the ideal car, a convenient venue where people can immediately compare and contrast their prospective purchases. Exclusive auto loans sponsor PS Bank will offer some of the best deals for car buyers who want to purchase their new vehicles on the show floor. An annual venue for car buyers and motoring enthusiasts, it also hosts separate competitions for custom and classic cars as well as custom and classic motorbikes. MIAS is the Philippines’ biggest motor show in terms of visitor count, cars on display, and exhibitors – a world automotive exhibition held every summer since 2005. If it runs on diesel, gasoline, unleaded, biofuel, electricity or even a hybrid --it’s sure to be there.

It also serves as an educational venue for children interested in the workings of automobiles –and parents who are auto enthusiasts often take them to see Russ Swift, a precision driver known for his tight J-turns and meticulously planned stunts. The second-generation solar car produced by DLSU (SIKAT) is also on display, along with other noteworthy exhibits: vintage vehicles, 20 to 25 big bikes on display, a party van/bus, classic and new-generation Mini Coopers and Chevrolet’s Cruze Touring Car. There will be the MIAS Custom and Classic Car competition where the Best of Show winner gets tickets for two to go watch the Malaysian Formula 1. There will also be a custom bike competition, as well as a photo competition by Nikon.

So if you got nothing to do this weekend come drop by the Wold Trade Center. Entrance fee is only PhP50.00 pesos and you get to see Optimus Prime too.

The Second San Pablo Comics Festival is a celebration of Philippine comics where one can buy independently produced Filipino comic books (as well as imported ones) and meet the people who create them!

There will be a comics art exhibit, art contest, writer and artist signings, comic book sales, mini- tutorials, mini seminars, panel discussions and many more!

San Pablo too far away? Think of it as a vacation! Think of it as getting away from it all! Think of it as decentralizing Manila and spreading the comics love to the provinces! Plus, you'll get an AWESOME view!

new Prototype found of Frenzy/Rumble-type robot.

2009-11-06T12:16:00.000+08:00

picture found here.

an image surfaced showing what appears to be a classics style frenzy/rumble prototype that fans speculate as either an official hasbro prototype or another fansproject not unlike the voyager sized MP prime or the new Deluxe Springer figure seen a few months back.

appearing to be scout in size and a well detailed sculpt that updates the look of the classic G1 cassetticons Frenzy and Rumble, it is still unclear if in any way this figure can interact with the classics ravage released last year or if this is any indication of a classics soundwave any time in the future.

only time will tell whether this will see any release at all or be shelved and forgotten. either way it's hella cool.

Optimus Prime Wins Pet Party!

2009-10-26T10:29:00.004+08:00

10.26.2009 - Special thanks to Ms. Andi Manzano for this tweet on the recent Halloween Pet Party, where one contest winner emerged. A chihuahua wearing a Optimus Prime get up besting the the other dogs in the recent event.

Movie Two Packs Sighted.

2009-10-24T22:44:00.007+08:00

10.24.2009 - Though this is old news some won't notice these RoTF movie two packs, that might either save you from looking for two separate figures in your collection. It rare these days that you see two figures bunched up together.

Like the recent sighting of Sideways and a newly repainted Blowpipe (what a name... Hasbro must have ran out of decent ones) based from the Dropkick 2007 figure.

(Please CLICK on the title for the full article)

So far there was no single carded for Blowpipe, but its worth looking into this one. But I won't surely agree if you have already got the Dropkick figure or the red Autobot Scavenger that came out last year, which ended in the sale bin this past month.

The second set is the Ratchet and Grindor two-pack, which will cost more than the first mentioned set, since these are Voyager classs (medium size robots). They are both straight retooled or repaints of the original Ratchet and Blackout figures released in 2007.

Though Grindor has a new head compared to Ratchet, which just had minor color change that might come close to be good for those who still doesn't have the figure from the first movie.

They are all available in stores, but another set that would probably the Hoist and Mix Master set TRU Exclusive. Originals from the Long Arm released in 2007 and Mix Master RoTF in Generation 1 colors found at Comic Alley shops. Funny this set is not available at Toys R' Us, which the store had this as an exclusive.

Bludgeon's Revenge.

2009-10-23T13:03:00.009+08:00

10.23.2009 - Perhaps one of the baddies from the comic books has returned this time released under the Revenge of The Fallen toyline will give your Classics Megatron a run for your toy shelf display.

Introducing Bludgeon the maniacal engine of destruction has bee sighted in one of the local specialty shops going for PhP 1,699.75 pesos.

(Please CLICK on the title for the full article)

Originally as Decepticon Pretender that was released in the 80's is now completely a robot in true form unlike his pretender shell. The master of the art of Metalikato is going to be one 'con in your want list.

Lately Hasbro has been expanding the RoTF toyline with repaints, and new characters for you to add in your movie collection. I'd say Bludgeon fits well with the Universe toyline better than the alien looking movie series.

So far he's the most recent release in this toyline. The last report we had was the complete boxed version of the white Leo Prime from the Universe series, which was a Target exclusive release.

Bludgeon will be a nice catch for you Generation One fans, who wants a new version of this character. All I can say is he retains his tank mode, and his robot body is now his pretender shell.

This one's a bad ass Decepticon that makes Skeletor a whining fruit cake.

TransFormers Sale Forecast.

2009-10-22T10:41:00.003+08:00

10.22.2009 - Transformers toys continues to be on sale for 50% and 30% off. They are getting sold out since Playkit (a local distributor for Hasbro products) had slashed down prices early this year. Mostly due to the arrival of the movie line, and the discontinuation of the Animated series.

The Universe line was also on sale and it has been trending the past months. that the most sought after are now gone from the shelves.

(Please CLICK on the title for the full article)

Most notable are the Deluxe and Voyager Class releases. Recent left overs are repainted from the previous toyline released in the Universe line. The Animated series though not as popular here are starting to pick up on sale bins.

So far the only thing that's not on sale for the Universe toyline is the Combiners. Namely Bruticus and Superion sets, which still carry the SRP tag price.

The movie line was not a big hit with the fans. Most complaint are the character designs, and the engineering of selected key characters. Most often sold are main characters who appeared in the movie. Scalpers mostly feast their eyes on the most wanted characters, but the trending has been slow lately due to the G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra releases.

Lately collectors are mostly silent these days, since there's not much new in TransFormers after Revenge of the Fallen. What we see is the market is there its just waiting for the next big thing on shelves.

The only things that's going for the brand is the expanded characters from the movie. Like the upcoming Voyager Class Bludgeon, and soon to be released deluxe class assortments next year.

If you haven't gone to toy stores or your nearest department stores the Ultra Class assortment of Powerglide, Onslaught, and Silverbolt are now going for PhP 800.00 pesos. The voyager Class assortment most notable want list that you'll rarely see are Leo Prime (retooled/repainted Leo Breaker), Thread Bolt (retooled/repainted Jetfire), Inferno and Vector Prime going for PhP 600.00 pesos.

The Animated series have been moving lately with the deluxe class main characters like Bumblebee, Prowl, Jazz, and Blurr has been gone from the shelves. They can be seen in the secondary market going for the original SRP. Leader class TF Animated Megatron has been slowly disappearing since he's now at PhP 1,000.00 pesos.

Most Voyager class characters has been moving up and about with Shockwave, Skywarp, Grimlock including Optimus Prime almost nearly extinct. But if you know your toy hunting ways you still be able to get a hold of them.

The Animated twin jets Jetstorm & Jetfire has been on sale too just see the tag for PhP 1,000.00 pesos. The Japanese reissue Encore has left Ratchet & Ironhide sleeping in most of the shelves. Poor things have been headless if you didn't get to own one before. This might be your chance to grab both for PhP 500.00 each.

To sum it all up the sale still continues until everything is sold out. Some of those on the shelves are less favorites, but I'm sure some will warm up to you if you know the characters.

I'm sure Decepticon Dropshot would need a new home. He appeared in the 11th issue of All Hail Megatron comic book.

That's for sheer commercialism if you want to grab him though.

Giant Optimus at SM Megamall Cinema.

2009-07-06T21:38:00.005+08:00

07.06.2009 - It could pass up as the real thing, but he looked like the Leader Class toy from the first movie. But all I can say is nice craftsmanship. This proves we can replicate these kinds of statues. Though not as handsome as the Bumblebee sighted in one of the car shows in United States.

But its good enough for fans who appreciates the movie to have equal opportunity to have a photo opportunity with the leader of the Autobots. Just don't get close to his feet he might step on you.

Optimus Prime can still be found in SM Megamall's cinema on the 3rd level.

Its a 2 year in a making for this video hahaha, just kidding, I just got in touch with a contact person 2 years ago and since that I failed to do an interview with Mark Ryan right after the Transformers movie, I'm glad that all is not too late and I got him a video interview and message that I showed to all convention goers and Transformers fans at the 8th Philippine Toys, Hobbies and Collectibles Convention 2009 at the SM Megamall.

How Do You Celebrate 7 Years?

2009-06-07T17:11:00.010+08:00

06.07.2009 - Transformers Philippines was founded yesterday seven years in the original Yahoo Groups mailing list. It was a thriving group from the start. It was a word of mouth after the very first Toy Con that was held in the old Conference Hall, which was in the month of October 2002.

Back then it was literally a Toy Con exhibitors, where just selling stuff and getting merchandise auctioned. There was no cosplay and there was a structured program just selling.

If you look at it back then things where not that wild the following year. You could say we started in the simple things. We where part of the journey and you know who you are being part of this group. Nobody predicted what will happen in the course of seven years to see how found are identity.

We realized that BEING A FAN IS NOT equals to TOY COLLECTING. This hobby is just secondary, and its doesn't need a rocket science to tell you how we are passionate. It just goes to show you true fans has unlimited imagination, and its not based on the plastic hardware you accumulate. This group was built in friendship and its not made of materialistic things.

Some kid out there doesn't own an action figure, but one can tell you by heart how he or she tells the story of one episode in a big way.

For those years we witness the changes since the first movie came out. We rarely see a true fan be as passionate one can be. Its rare to see fans who doesn't make the hobby there life, and never get too redundant to make a point.

BEING A FAN IS BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF ON WHO YOU ARE. For seven years we never take short cuts on being here. We just express our love for the mythology and just talking about anything related to Transformers.

BEING A FANS IS NOT A BASIS OF JUST ONE THING... TOYS. When you look at it some would argue that its the basis for being a fan. But that's not how others think. For the sake of argument you analyze it by yourself and see the difference.

FANS have there own lives so we don't take this hobby too seriously. We don't make a career out of this hobby because it will ruin the fun. The reason why we got interested in the first place.

Unfortunately in reality we can see a lot of that, but who cares right?

We are FANS and we live our life outside from this, because this hobby is just another way to relax and get away from the rough reality. We enjoyed this when we where kids and up until now some would say the movie was not the one they expect.

Its already 2009 who would like to see a 1984 cartoon turned into a live action film. Things change and that's the only thing that stays permanent. We let the future decided and we guide to control that future.

So how to do you celebrate seven years BEING THE FIRST AND ORIGINAL FAN GROUP?

From the beginning up to now we celebrate as good friends, and toast a glass to BEING A FAN. We enjoy and seize the day, aside from the constant changes that are permanent. We found out who are our real friends, and who'll be valued in the future.

REAL FANS WHO HAS THE HEART. THAT'S WHO WE ARE. NOT MACHINES.

Revenge is Coming Toy Launch.

2009-05-31T17:10:00.008+08:00

05.31.2009 - Revenge is Coming and Toy Kingdom did not disappoint A LOT of Toy Collectors, where as early as 10AM people lined up to be the first. The released toy line based on the upcoming sequel that will be shown on June 26th was launched at SM Megamall in corporation organized by the toy collecting group of Cybertron Philippines.

Toy Collectors bumping and grind with parents, and kids alike to get in first with the most wanted Leader Class Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Most of the events happening in the launch where games, toy displays, and selling of the brand new products. When you say Toy Launch it just caters to The Toys and rarely we see other products being presented as side from handful of shirts being sold for kids sizes.

It sure is a festive event for Toy Collectors but rarely see the fans. A few parents and kids where just having the difficulty never getting, that chance to get the main toys.

I'm sure it will be out all over the places its good see kids having there own Optimus Primes and Megatrons, but once it comes out. As the one on the launch was mostly geared purely for Toy Collector aficionados not entirely for mass appeal.

We just have to wait for the real fans to see it available everywhere, but for your viewing pleasure check out Heer0san's coverage courtesy of Robot Pilipinas right HERE.

3. Sideswipe close looks and Arcee robot's trio
4. Jetfire walking and talking... at last..a close look

Flak has fought them all, first as a security officer, then as an explorer, and finally as a shock trooper under Thunderclash's command. Off the battlefield, combat doesn't interest him; it is his job, he does it when needed and he does it well."

Farewell Transfan. Francis "Kiko" Magalona.

2009-03-07T11:37:00.004+08:00

03.07.2009 - Today Transformers Philippines pays tribute to The Man from Manila and King of Rap a honorary member. Even before the group's inception in 2002 Francis "Kiko" Magalona was into collecting and being a fan of the Generation One cartoon.

The last time he hang out with us was during the first day of Toy Con 2008. He will surely will be missed as we pray for his peace and give condolence to his family. We where deeply honored that he became part of this group in a short time. He was there during the Transformers The Movie Merchandise Launch in 2007 not as a special guest, but a member of the group who just hang out and talked about the fandom.

We will never see the likes of him being member with no star complex. Humbled and loved by his friends and family. We wish you well as he is in God's hand now. Thank you for the wonderful memory you are indeed a true fan.

`Til all are one.

Set in unique environments across the globe such as Cairo and Shanghai, the game allows players to instantly switch between vehicle and robot modes as they drive, fly, fight, and blast their way through intense, pressure-packed levels.

After engaging in single-player action, players for the first time ever will be able to go online and battle friends in all-new multiplayer modes.

The video game version of Transformers 2 will be available in the following platforms:

Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen news - no Megatron

2008-12-31T23:12:00.002+08:00

Is this true? or another mind games played by MR. Bay. hmmm

shocking revelation as we can say, and hope we can see a trailer of this new movie.

- Bay and LaBeouf confirm the Fallen is a separate character.
- Egyptian hieroglyphics ...turn out to be depictions of Transformers who visited Earth.
- Bay claims Megatron is not coming back and the tank is just a new toy.
- Around 40 robots.
- Budget is $200 million.
- Ramon Rodriguez is the one holding on for dear life to a pole while cars are flung.
- Devastator appears at the pyramid, he's probably 50 feet tall because that's the height of the camera crane they used on location.

TF Toy Review: TF Universe Hound & Ravage

2008-12-28T21:17:00.001+08:00

Name: Hound & Ravage
Series: Transformers Universe
Faction: Autobot & Decepticon
Assortment: Deluxe Class (Wave 5 Release)
Packaging: Carded
Release: 2008
Manufactured By: Hasbro
Variations: Henkei Hound with Jaguar (Takara Tomy)
Accessories: Hologram Projector/Gun

Toy Review by: JayCee

HOUND

Introduction:
one of the few Autobots who crash landed on earth along with the ARK.
being the Chief Tracker and Scout, Hound was an expert in tracking even to the most stealthiest Decepticons

Vehicle Mode:
In vehicle mode Hound transforms into an Off-road Jeep which is very reminiscent of his G1 character specially when the Projector is loaded on its back.

Transformation:
Transformation is on a medium level of difficulty. in Off-road mode he snaps on into place perfectly. in exception, in robot form the Hologram Projector falls a lot (mine is T_T)

Robot Mode:
Robot mode is Cartoon accurate to the G1 series but the color is a bit lighter than the G1 colors, fortunately, the upcoming Henkei Hound will clear that out.

another good feature I found is how Hound can hide his front wheels in his back. I've read and watched a lot of reviews saying you can do a lot of things with the front wheels since it holds a lot of movements.

everything is GREAT but as I have said the Hologram Projector REALLY falls a lot (T_T) so to stop the whining I just let Hound hold it as a gun

Size Comparisons:

Comments:
none..........BUT the Hologram Projector shouldn't really be falling out a lot

The Score:
THIS IS A MUST HAVE for all G1 fans....ESPECIALLY when you got the Hologram Projector attach properly to his shoulders......WITHOUT falling

RAVAGE

Introduction:
Ravage is one of the Tape cassettes of SOUNDWAVE. introduced as a stealthy spy gathering information from the autobots in the G1 series and one of the few Decepticons that transforms to an animal

Cassette Mode:
Cassette mode reminds me very clearly of him during the G1 when he use to lurk behind bushes and rocks to ambush unsuspecting Autobots.

Cassette was also made to fit in Vintage SOUNDWAVE (SOUNDBLASTER on my part LOL)

He can also attach to Hounds rear in Off-road mode. but I really didn't get why would he?

Transformation:
Transformation was taken from a whole new level. a lot of twists and turns were added to make him more bulkier in Panther mode and at the same time give you the accurate Cassette mode

Panther Mode:
Panther mode is much more bulkier than his G1 counterpart plus he still got that cool Stalker look in him. Hasbro also failed to put Rockets on him that should have made him MORE accurate.

Its a good thing he can borrow Rockets from the Vintage Ravage.

Size Comparisons:

Comments:
Ravage gets a satisfying set of gimmicks for as long that you have the VINTAGE SOUNDWAVE/SOUNDBLASTER

The Score:
Another MUST HAVE for all G1 fans......I tell you, you wont be disappointed
(well I am ^^)

Overall:
4.5 Robot Points......good cassette and panther mode but would be way better if it comes with the rockets

TF Toy Review: Animated Blurr

2008-12-27T15:48:00.001+08:00

Name: Blurr
Series: Transformers Animated
Packaging: Carded
Release: 2008
Manufactured By: Hasbro
Accessories: Car Hood that turns into a Chainsaw

Toy Review by: JayCee

BLURR

Introduction:
named one of the fastest cartoon characters ever, he first appeared in the G1 series on its 1984 Movie. coming back as a Mach 5 like vehicle in the animated series and as an ELITE GUARD, Blurr also regained his speed talking abilities unlike his Armada character.

Vehicle Mode:
very similar to Speed Racer's Mach-5 and very cartoon accurate to be exact. Vehicle mode is a Cybertronian Car that locks into place PERFECTLY.

the car's hood carries a chainsaw that can be retract by pushing a button close to the Elite Guard Symbol.

Transformation:
Transformation is a bonus. for a deluxe class you get a difficulty of a voyager. parts are lock perfectly to give cartoon accuracy.

Robot Mode:
Blurr stands tall among other deluxe figures. toy possess a great amount of articulation except the hands due to his shoulders.

He can store the Hood/Chainsaw in his back

or carry it as his weapon

Size Comparisons:

as you can see Blurr's height can be compared to a Voyager class figure

Vehicle mode is also scaled to fellow deluxe class cars

Comments:
probably the first Transformers Animated Figure at home and I'm loving it
its really COOL and you guys must have it. at first I didn't like the Animated Figures but this figure makes me wanna have them all. honestly it looks cool along with other animated toys because you'll find him a little lost once he stands along side other Transformer Toy lines.

The Score:
To all Animated fans this is a great addition to your collection but if you despise the series you will have a hard time loving it. still, give the toy line a chance......FRANKLY I was AMAZED by it and YES!!!! its FREAKIN COOL!

Overall:
I give him 5 (perfect) robot points for me....maybe I'm a bit biased after all its our first Animated toy at home.

Special thanks to...
Mig-Mig Aranas (little bro) for lending me HIS toy....he likes Animated BTW (I like the G1 )

Optimus Mickey Rocks!!!

2008-12-27T14:07:00.004+08:00

NEWS: TF Henkei Hound

2008-12-26T14:20:00.000+08:00

"Thanks to the Japanese toy blog higekumatoytoy, we have some first looks at the Tomy Takara Transformers Henkei Hound with Ravage action figures in the package.

This figure is already a big hit with fans here in the USA. Many fans are wondering weather to get the Japanese version one with the additional paint applications or the Hasbro one at a domestic price.

Check the thumb images below to see the new images and judge for yourself which is the better version."

they added that yellow stripe paint!! arghhh!!!!!!
looks more kick ass than the Hasbro version.. I just hope that if they will make more henkeis, they should be the same too in Hasbro. Now toy collectors and Tf fans will be "mamumulubi" even before the year ends ahahhaha.

Merry Christmas boys and girls. - Azrael Coladilla, TFPH, co founder ( also floor janitor at night at TFPH office)

Restoring Yellowing Transformers toys

2008-12-23T23:11:00.002+08:00

check out the restoration tips by our Pinoy TFPH member neilcdc of Australia.

--

As per the discussion in this forum, it was with the use of H2O2. Hydrogen Peroxide ppl. And it works! Ive used it in my RiD Prowl who was reaaally yellowed when I came back last MArch'08 to migrate him here in OZ.

http://www.thetf.net/forum_posts-TID-13204-PN-1.htm

Here's the before and after pics. Almost bought a new one, thank goodness this was posted up in OZformers forum, saved me $20 getting a new one. Although it did bleach out the tampoed autosign on the hood, meh - easily fixed with stickers.

Before

and below is the AFTER

After

It took me a day and a half of it soaking under the sun in a bottle to get him to go to that whiteness. And no ill effects on the rubber as far as I can see, feel and tell.

Hope this helps... will try this on Lego as well to see if it works just as good.

TFU Legends Bumblebee, Beachcomber & Brawn REVIEW

2008-12-23T23:01:00.002+08:00

Names: Bumblebee, Beachcomber & Brawn
Series: Transformers Universe
Packaging: Carded
Release: 2008
Manufactured By: Hasbro

Toy Review by: JayCee

Introduction:
The Minibots have played an essential role in the G1 series. such minibots introduced were....

BUMBLEBEE

way back in the 80's bumblebee was portrayed as the courageous Autobot who always acts out into battle. he was often seen with spike and in the latest film he was also close to sam

Vehicle Mode:

vehicle mode resembles the Classics Deluxe Bumblebee but without the spoilers

BEACHCOMBER

a minibot first introduced in the 80's. little is my knowledge of Beachcomber besides the fact that I always confuse him with the name Seaspray

Vehicle Mode:

he resembles his G1 counterpart but way cooler. he is equipped with a mini turret at the back and an awesome new mold

BRAWN

he seemed to be little but dont be fooled I know he packs a punch. also introduced as a minibot in the G1 series along side with Bumblebee and Beachcomber

Vehicle Mode:

In my opinion I find him as an eye catcher. Hasbro managed to retain his bulkiness as a Jeep and is simply great on my part

Size Comparisons:

Transformation:
Transformation is quite easy and can be easily followed by the instructions written at the back of the card

Comments:
I dont usually get the Legends class but these figures made me cross the line. HASBRO out done themselves and what a great tribute to the 25 years of Transformers

The Score:
I give these set of toys a 4.5..........after all Bumblebee is a beetle not a hutchback
