    Revealed on the TFYLP YouTube show tonight by Rik Alvarez is a render of Wastelander, a recolor of Boneyard.

    This will be one of the 10 initial figures offered in their Kickstarter starting in September. He comes with a sword, rifle, dinosaur skull shield, axe, helmet, alternate head and 2 sets of alternate hands.

    For reference, here is the art they released for their figure a while back:

    Here is a picture of Beast Wars Dinobot, which many people have said reminds them of the colors on this toy:

    And a nice Arnold homage with the head sculpt to boot.

    Sorry, I'm not familiar with these figures at all...are they supposed to be based off of Pretenders?

    They are original 6 inch action figures that have elements inspired by Transformers designs. For instance this one is sorta is shaped like G1 Pretender Grimlock, but colored a lot like Beast Wars Dinobot.

    They have not mentioned what day in September it begins.

    Appropriate credit should probably also be given to Mr. Rik Alvarez and the #TFYLP Podcast.

    I love how the tiger stripe pattern on the sword evokes Dinobot's ribbed sword, while only requiring paint, not remolding.

    The coloring of the redesign was done by Albie Lim as I understand. Did the idea came from Rik?

    Just because I'm not necessarily caught up with PWTT stuff, what happened to the figures coming with little Targetmaster-type guys that looked like the inner robots?

    Play With This Too revealed this drawn art back in March. I do not know if he was involved back then. Albie colored the render.

    Also, do I get a news credit for this?

    The have said that the Tech Drones are being redesigned, and they will be stretch goals for the Kickstarter.

    Now I want a translucent version called "Predatory Wastelander".

    Seriously this guy does look like Dutch defeated the Predator and then stole a bunch of weapons and armor.

    Why are all these toys always posted here? These are not transformers of any kind? Shouldn't they be on another section of these sites? These are way more MOTU than Transformers.

    At this point, I would agree. With the previous PWTT announcement, we were told that the robots were going to be essentialy 'Arms Microns'. There isn't even any Pretender-like pretense anymore. At most, they're like Action Masters, with converting accessories. They're not updated Pretenders, new Pretenders, or even updated Action Masters.

    They're action figures, with only half of the currently planned ones having some form of Transformers-inspired motifs. These threads really belong in the Toyark now.

    These are TF based so the decision was made for them to stay here. With that wrote, chatting about it in a thread is not going to change anything. If you or anyone else has questions to why something is the way it is it's always best to PM one of the staff members directly and we will answer to the best of our ability.

    Really like this deco. Maybe even better than original. I guess that leaves two more Jetstrike paint jobs and one more repaint of Boneyard to be revealed.
