Movie Review – Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

After a 5 year absence of giant shape changing alien robots in theatres, Transformers Rise of the Beasts has hit cinemas worldwide June 9th.  Thanks to the generosity of Hasbro and Paramount Pictures, some of us lucky folk even got to attend Special Preview Showings on Thursday 8th, being able to quench our thirst for … Continue reading Movie Review – Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

The Transformatorium Makes Front Page News!

The Transformatorium, my personal collectors shed with over 5000 pieces of Transformers merchandise, was featured in the Mudgee Guardian Newspaper last month. It appeared on the newspapers website on the 24th of May 2023 and was printed on May 26th.  The link to the Mudgee Guardian website story can be found HERE. It was also … Continue reading The Transformatorium Makes Front Page News!

Ask Trev – Your worst figure, why should I still buy it?

This question comes from Steve in Campbelltown: ‘What is the worst figure in your collection and why should we all own it?’ First off I’m taking a stab in the dark that Steve is talking about Transformers since that is what I am best known for collecting.  Well Steve, given I’m at the 4500 mark … Continue reading Ask Trev – Your worst figure, why should I still buy it?

Toy Review: Kingdom Tracks

I’ve always thought Tracks was a very underrated character.  Despite getting a couple of spotlight episodes in season 2 of the Generation One cartoon, he’s never really done a lot otherwise.  Has never been a stand-out in any of the comics and, with the exception of a cameo in Animated, has never cropped up in … Continue reading Toy Review: Kingdom Tracks

Toy Review: Kingdom Rodimus Prime

Two years ago the Transformers line saw the introduction of the Commander Class – a toy scale a size up from the Leader Class.  In 2019 we got a fantastic Jetfire, followed last year by an equally great Sky Lynx. This year with the release of Unicron, we are seeing a slew of figures based … Continue reading Toy Review: Kingdom Rodimus Prime

How 20 Years of being an Adult Collector began

This month – January 2021 – marks 20 years of me being an adult collector of Transformers. It also marks the 20 year anniversary of my first (very short lived) marriage.  And the two are not unconnected.   As a kid we didn’t have a great deal of money, though I never went without a … Continue reading How 20 Years of being an Adult Collector began

Toy Review – Cyberverse Iaconus

Titans are becoming a larger (no pun intended) part of Transformers lore.  However for the most part they have remained in the Generation One universe with its associated comics and toylines.  Cyberverse became surprisingly popular as the cartoon progressed through the seasons, it was a very G1’esque universe, and indeed featured two brand new Titan characters – Croaton and Iaconus.   … Continue reading Toy Review – Cyberverse Iaconus

Toy Review – Siege Greenlight

Over the past few years we have been getting Transformer toys based on increasingly obscure Generation One characters.  While it’s pretty hard to beat Scrounge (a character from the Marvel comics who turned into a wheel and died) who came with the Combiner Wars Technobots, we may have a contender.  This time it is a … Continue reading Toy Review – Siege Greenlight

Toy Review – Cyberverse: Acid Storm

The relatively short first season of the Cyberverse cartoon has come to an end, but new toys are still turning up on the shelves.  I must admit I am eschewing most of them but when I saw Acid Storm in a local store I couldn’t help but pick him (or is it her?) up.  So … Continue reading Toy Review – Cyberverse: Acid Storm

Multiverse Sky Lynx Toys Gallery

MULTIVERSE SKY LYNX GALLERY Please note: The photo set I had built at my last farm was destroyed in a move, so while I have added photo’s of Earthrise Sky Lynx to this gallery, he will not be properly shot like the other three figures until I build a new one.   Individual Figure Pic’s … Continue reading Multiverse Sky Lynx Toys Gallery
