Combiners at TFCON!"},"content":{"rendered":"

One of my favorite Transformers sites, TFW2005<\/A> has some great coverage from TFCon up (here<\/a>, here<\/a>, & here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

What I found the most interesting was the full-on presentations from third party manufacturers. It is ridiculous seeing how much stuff in the works. To stay sane, I kept my focus to the one thing I really care about: the Third-Party Combiners. We already know that MakeToys will be adding Quantron to their Giant figure later this year: <\/p>\n

And we also knew their next project was Guardia, but it wasn’t until TFCon that we got our first look at the Guardia renders: <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Those both look fantastic and don’t have me cringing the least bit at the surely $400 sticker price. Not… even… a… little… Ugh!

\nThe other Combiner news actually came out a little after TFCon on ToyWorld’s site<\/a>, but I’ll include it here. They’re doing a Project reminiscent of the old Throttlebots – those fun, simple-transformation, pull-back cars? Y’know, the ones that didn’t combine? Well, ToyWorld doesn’t care about that. <\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

I’m already loving the realistic vehicles and innovative transformations, but for some reason this extra combining feature is really appealing to me as well. I blame that old Go-Bot Puzzler. I miss that guy… I’m not sure when these last three roll out – we’ve had the first three for awhile, but I hope it’s soon. <\/p>\n
