Classics Rodimus - THE Hot Rod/Rodimus figure. If there was ever a figure that you could point to and say 'that's the kind of technology we have today' for updates of G1, Classics Rodimus is it. Look at the Hot Rod figure from the 80's and look at Rodimus: same character and same alt mode to a degree but everything in between is better. The first Classics figure I knew I wanted from the start and my personal favorite in the year that was 2006.

When Sony announced they were re-releasing the Transformers Movie on DVD for the 20th Anniversary, many fans were skeptical. Most felt that, through various other releases by companies like Rhino and Metrodome, that there was little left to offer from another release. As I would find out first hand, Sony was out to prove that fans hadn’t seen anything when it comes to the original movie.

The fan commentary consisted of myself (Joe Moore), Paul Hitchens, J.E. (Rik) Alvarez and Tony Bacala (credited as Alex Weiner). We first arrived at Sony BMG’s office on a Thursday in July. While in the office, we talk with the representatives Randy, Ariana and Lauren. Paul has all his wonderful materials, such as a shooting script, storyboards, animation cells and much more. As we talk, the Sony reps pull out a video asking if we could watch it to see if it’s worth putting on the disc. The...

Welcome to the Puffer Paradise article. This article is dedicated to two out of the, so far, three versions of "Puffer" (an amalgamation of Huffer + Pipes). I hope to attain and add the third Puffer to this article....someday.
As far as we know, there are 3 types of "Puffer". The Puffer sold on a European Pipes card, and two Mexican versions; an all dark blue metallic version, and the recently discovered dark metallic blue and white version (much like...

As of today, the fate of Transformers came into question. The publisher of Transformers comics for the last few years has closed its doors and has left the property hanging.
Dreamwave, a company founded by brothers Pat and Roger Lee, was a major player in bringing back Transformers into main media. They began as part of Image Comics and soon ventured out on their own as an independent publisher. One of their first comics was a Transformers miniseries. It was a to...

The year 2005 has come and gone...And what a year it was for Transformers fans. One of the most well recieved main lines in years, with Cybertron, produced some astounding figures. Add to that the continued introduction and release of Alternators and 2006 is shaping up to be a great year for everyone.
So before we all move forward with the coming year, some of the staff members from TFW2005 and the 2005 boards would like to share some of their top picks.... [Read More] | | | Views: 453 | | Posted on 04-11-2006 at 06:58 AM by Tony_Bacala |

The End of Mass Appeal Marketing in Toys
Today, I read a column by Kevin Maney of USAToday.com titled "Growing on-demand content may mean blockbuster's end." It speaks about the general trend in the entertainment industry where people are moving away from the broad appeal, "Blockbuster" oriented offerings for more specific, tailored content. How people are moving towards downloading a 5 minute action skit by an unknown filmmaker on the internet - to... [Read More] | | | Views: 449 | | Posted on 04-11-2006 at 06:36 AM by Tony_Bacala |

Dalianjj’s Transforming Masterpiece/20th Anniversary Optimus Prime Trailer.
