The Next Transformers Club Figure Makes James Roberts Smile…

…and the rest of us weep bitter tears, each tear filled with our hopes and dreams.  THANKS JAMES. Anyway, the next figure to be unveiled by the Transformers Club is… Rewind! I love this figure.  I’m especially happy that it’s a mold that was released only in Japan.  I never got the tape-tank twins, so I’m eager to get my hands on this one.  The deco is fantastic, the new head sculpt with the camera lens is awesome.  Yeah, the alt-mode doesn’t fit with what we saw in the More than Meets the Eye comic; I’m willing to overlook it cause the

Comic Review – The Star Wars #1 (of 8)

With The Star Wars #1, J. W. Rinzler and Mike Mayhew take us to a time and place  they call “Longer ago, in a galaxy either further away.”  Adapted from the original screenplay by George Lucas, this comic shows what might have been if Lucas’s original plans hadn’t been altered by several revisions of the script. What we know as Star Wars: A New Hope started life as The Star Wars, a tale of Jedi-Bendu vs. the Knights of Sith, as the New Empire had hunted down the architects of the Imperial Space Force.  You’ll notice similar themes and characters — Luke, Leia, Jedi,

Comic Quick Look: Transformers: More than Meets the Eye #20

When we last left the Transformers, Pharma had sliced Ambulon in half, forcing Ratchet to try to save his life, and Minimus “Ultra Magnus” Ambus had his head destroyed by Justice Tyrest.  Add to that Autobots still stuck in a cell and Cyclonus, Dai Atlas and Whirl fighting for their lives outside, and you’ve got yourself one hell of a mess. The problem with reviewing a comic like this is that unlike Regeneration One, it seems more of a crime to go into much detail of James Roberts’ plot.  There are some twists and turns I did not see coming, and

Comic Review – Transformers: Regeneration One #94

We’re getting close to the end, folks.  There’s only six issues left to go in the series — well, technically seven, since we’re getting Regeneration One #0 next month — so we should savor this look back to the bygone era of Transformers storytelling, because soon we won’t have it any more.  Good thing there’s a big-ol’ Ultra Magnus vs. Galvatron fight in this issue, just like the old days of Marvel UK. For those who don’t remember, Simon Furman wrote some masterful epics in the UK version of Transformers before he did the same in the US.  In Target: 2006, he laid the groundwork
