HERALD OF UNICRON - Age of the Primes, Leader Class #Transformers

Obviously, we’re in to this one! He’s an undeniably gorgeous partial off of Megatronus. But for the going price of a Leader Class these days it’s difficult for even us at Unicron.com to consider buying multiples as a troop builder! Nonetheless a creative use of a fan fav mold, excited for this one!

Star (Convoy) Optimus Prime The 13th Original Prime - 2025 Titan #Transformers

I know this is, like - so yesterday’s news. But I just absolutely dig this toy and need to take an opportunity to share thoughts. (And it’s another toy I photographed earlier and never got around to posting.)

This is the Star Convoy figure we old school fans have been pining for! BIG, super pose-able, sturdy, and so undeniably true to his Japanese roots and esthetics. Complete with his ridiculous “base mode” and trailer which faithfully becomes the bottom 2/3 of the robot mode. His pointy, crazy angle helmet ‘antenna’ just absolutely complete the look of his undeniably bad@$$ robot mode!

That @hasbro and the design team canonized this character making it the original form of “THIRTEEN” is just a stroke of genius! Giving fans, new and old school a seriously cool reason to care about this classic design and homage the Japanese heritage of The Transformers.
http://www2.unicron.com/1991-transformers/388-1991-return-of-convoy-takara/1792-star-convoy-with-micromaster-hot-rodimus.html

My gripes here are minor:
He does look way out of scale as a toy, next to the other Primes. But if we need Micronus - smallest of the Primes (and we do!) why not have a much larger one?! Also, a my own nerdy retcon way of understanding, I like to think of his base mode like the x-men “Danger Room” where the original Primes practiced to prepare for their big battle with Unicron - as described in the Covenant of Primus.

My other minor gripe with this otherwise stellar toy is that the base mode and truck are woefully under-deco’ed. Thank goodness for Toyhax! Not gonna lie their sticker set upgrades are crazy expensive! But make the figure 💯 complete!

Of course as an old time fan/owner of the original figure, the base looks BLAH! without a bunch of colorful monitors and lights and technical readouts - all of which, easily, tho not inexpensively corrected.

Overall, this toy is pure joy and brilliant addition to my shelf of original Primes!

BEETRAS! G1 Deluxe Insecticons Origin! And the unproduced -would-have-been first “female” #Transformers figure a ladybug (Ladybird beetle) You can see her in the top right portion of the scan….

Did you know that the toys that would be sold in the U.S. as “Deluxe Insecticons” were originally marketed in Japan as “Armored Insect Corps Beetras (機甲虫隊ビートラス Kikō Chūtai Beetras)”

I came across this promo pad scan that I saw at a Botcon years ago and had to share. Read more about them in the wiki, here…. https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Beetras#cite_note-0

#StudioSeries 43 “KSI Agent” aka Nitro Zeus w/ premium deco #Transformers

Took this set of photos a few years ago and never got around to posting them. This mold and deco still look great to me! Transform is fun - a solid piece, exemplifying the quality of Studio Series. May it continue on for years to come! Although the am not a fan of this film, TF: The Last Knight - (to put it mildly 🫣🤦‍♂️🥴), I still enjoy the toys it inspired. Now how about an Onslaught?!

KRANIX 2026 #Transformers Studio Series Deluxe

SPARE ME THIS MOCKERY OF JUSTICE!

Oh man, I dig this toy! It’s like Missing Link (is for my brother who absolutely adores the line) but made for me. Modern engineering, transform (perfect-) complexity and pose-ability. Then, there’s all those fluorescent pinks and angular multi-layered head sculpt and don’t get me started on the vehicle! … old school! straight out of Marvel comics Universe profile page. Pure 80’s nostalgia! 10/10 for me! Absolutely checks all the boxes. My #TransformersTheMovie display shelf is a happier for this addition!

Fun fact, according to the TFwiki,
“In a very early draft of The Transformers: The Movie, Lithone was a planet of living rock creatures, and Kranix was named Granix (from “granite”, you get it?). Although this was amended for later drafts, one or two instances of this original spelling made it through the spell-check, into a much later version of the script, puzzling fans for over a decade.”
