Classics Lio Convoy Revealed?

Looks to be a repaint of the Leo Prime mold (which was a remold of Leobreaker from TF: Cyberton).

I'll pass, like I did with the other iterations of this mold.

At about $100+, this figure is just not my cup of tea. I'll wait for the Legends version.

If you don't know what TF: Mosaic is, it's a fan based project where artist/writers get together to create a one page TF comic. It's great fun, maybe I'll be allowed to draw one!

Article with Scott Farrar of ILM about ROTF

Even the computers making a Michael Bay movie explodes. Scott Farrar, visual-effects supervisor at ILM, talks to Sci-Fi Wire about how the some of the computers rendering our favorite robots went up in smoke one night! Very cool. There's also some interesting tidbits about the amount of moving parts Optimus and Devastator has and the movie magic (I loved that show) involved in rendering these behemoths without frying the render farms (better luck next time).

WARNING, there are some MINOR spoilers. Nothing you probably haven't already learned watching trailers and visiting Transformers sites. But the spoilers are there.

ROTF Thrust Revealed!

Revenge's Thrust has been revealed in an eBay auction...to be a ROTF Breakaway repaint. But here's the good news: it might have a remolded head as indicated on the packaging art. I opted not to pick up the original mold cause of the weird monkey feet and what I consider an odd hump-back kibble (and, um, budgetary concerns), but this repaint (and possible remold) just became a BUY!

This and the upcoming Dirge harrier jet (which I can't wait to see) that was revealed at Botcon '09 (which I did not attend, so I haven't seen it yet), I'll soon have an odd looking conehead seeker set...
