Bio for Second TFcon Exclusive is Now Online
Written by NightViper   
Tuesday, 30 April 2013

Better Find a Path to Toronto! The organizers of TFcon 2013 have now posted the profile for their second convention exclusive toy?

ROSWELL
ALLEGIANCE: Heroic Gobits
FUNCTION: Warrior / Communications
“I am not trying to prove I am better then you, I am trying to prove I am just as good!”

Profile: Originally a beautiful humanoid, when the Terrorist Gobits nearly destroyed their planet, she was forced to take on the form of a robotic space craft to aid in the war against BIKEMURDER. As the battles raged on, she became a seasoned warrior and trusted solider, so much so that in the absence of CAPTAIN-1 and TURBOLAG, she is left to command the whole Good Gobit army. In a recent mission; ROSWELL and a skeleton crew of bots, tried to find a solution to their home world and universe being wiped out by an unknown cosmic factor; it resulted in ROSWELL having to change her robotic form to match that of the local esthetic in a strange new dimension where everything was “More Than Meets the Eye”. Thanks to the Modifier, a machine from her home universe, she has finally achieved a design, color and body that she is somewhat pleased with, but even ROSWELL feels it could be better.

Abilities: Like all other Gobits, she has the standards of robot mode flight and high powered laser based pulse blasts from her fists. Unique to her design is that in UFO mode she is capable of light speed travel. Armed with her Path Cannon she can fire a short range blast that emits small sized black holes. ROSWELL is always looking to upgrade her weaponry to keep up with the ongoing conflict.

Weaknesses: She always drives to be better and thus some of her teammates feel she pushes herself to her to the point of exhaustion. She also can be a little vain sometimes, as she used to be a very curvaceous and beautiful humanoid and is not pleased with her more current blocky robot body.

Prototype Trailer for G2 Laser Optimus Prime Revealed!
Written by NightViper   
Monday, 29 April 2013

So much excessive fun! The Spacebridge have posted a series of images of a prototype Generation 2 Laser Optimus Prime on their Facebook page. This prototype has a trailer that transforms much like the final toy, but all of the details are entirely different. The main tower of the trailer's base mode not only includes an air propelled missile, but also twin Rotorforce propeller weapons. Also on the tower, and taking the place of the disc launcher, are modules with opening cockpits reminiscent of the Combat Deck in the G1 trailer. And lets not forget Roller!

Monday, 29 April 2013

Rollin'. rollin', rollin'... Transformers designer Hisashi Yuki has posted more images of Generations Metroplex on Twitter. This time he adds a few more Transformers to the images so that we can see just how huge this toy is going to be! The first image shows the Legends sized Generations Data Disks lined up with Metroplex's wheels, and the wheels are only slightly smaller than the disks! The second image has the new Transformers Go! EZ Collection Optimus Prime, Starscream, and Airrachnid messing around on Metroplex's giant runways.
