The MOAR You Know – Wildrider Prime

Wednesday, May 15th, 2013

Fansproject’s evil version of their Protector Armor, Shadow Scythe, makes more sense thematically when combined with Shattered Glass Rodimus… but it also comes with a faceplate to match it up with Henkei Wildrider.

Maybe it’s supposed to represent an alternate reality based on that G1 episode where Wildrider found the Matrix of Leadership, only he used it instead of taking it to Galvatron.

Or maybe it’s easier to sell an armor for two exclusives than one for each.

But even if it doesn’t make that much sense, it does look good.

I was thinking about that when playing around with Fansproject T-Bone…

DigiBash – ToyWorld TW-02 Optimus Prime IN COLOR

Sunday, May 5th, 2013

ToyWorld has shown a prototype for TW-02, a product that a lot of TF fans have been wanting to see ever since it was teased in silhouette. Just like with Hedgemon\Megatron, they’re not fooling anybody with this design, as it’s clearly the recent and very popular IDW look for Optimus Prime.

Rumor was that HasTak had an IDW Optimus coming out, and fans wondered how it would compare to even the shape of ToyWorld’s teased offering. And then Hasbro showed it off, and the big reveal was very, very small.

Smaller than Cyberverse Commander class kind of small.

But hey, there was still ToyWorld’s TW-02!

And now they’ve shown it!

And some people think it looks boring.

~~What the heck is wrong with them?~~ Perhaps it would help to see it in color.

BEHOLD!

How Do I Transformer? – The MOAR You Hardbone

Friday, May 3rd, 2013

How To Hard Bones And Master Heads

Hardbone Soup For The Duros

Hardbones are from Mars, Nebulons are from Australia

Really, I could go on. Just look at this list of the top 10 most popular self help books. They’re not even trying! Living a fuller Hardbone. Embracing your Hardbone. Tapping into your best Hardbone.

I could go on, you know.

Quick, I need to say what this is about before the jump! It’s a new feature here on MattBooker.info, that’ll pop up every now and then. If I see people having a lot of problems with a certain TF and those problems aren’t actually caused by the TF, then behold How Do I Transformer?!

It’s also for features that aren’t in the instructions, so you can tell people to STFU when they tell you to RTFM.

And now, Hardbone!

Fansproject Car Crash and T-Bone – Leg Mod \ Knee Fix

Thursday, April 25th, 2013

I kind of wanted to call this guide, Fansproject Stunticons – Fix ‘em if you got ‘em, because really, if you got ‘em, they need fixin’. But I’m also trying to be more specific with the titles for friendly interweb searching.

If you have them, you probably already know what I’m talking about. Transforming them makes you feel like you’re breaking them.

Fansproject has done a great job with these two. Really, they have. They’re not deluxe size, but they are bigger than scouts, and I’m a fan of smaller TFs. They’ve got great articulation, and that with the excellent robot sculpts mean FP Car Crash and FP T-Bone are just begging to be put in dynamic action poses.

And who doesn’t like sexy race cars?

Fall of Cybertron Kickback – Leg Mod and Better Alt Mode

Tuesday, March 12th, 2013

The Insecticons are favorites of mine, and Kickback is my favorite of those. I even have the rerelease G1 versions in my Classics display.

So naturally Generations FOC Kickback was going to be awesome. Right?

It’s not like HasTak would give Kickback an alt mode that looked like an apathetic jumble of bug parts that decided to take a nap, and would completely ignore the most important part of his alt mode and the reason for his name…

Right?

Fansproject Motormaster Review and Gallery!

Tuesday, February 26th, 2013

Yes, you read that right. I’ve finally splurged a massive amount of cash and joined the ranks of advance video reviewers such as MitchSantona and Optibotimus! I am super excited to bring you this, as not only is Fansproject Motormaster a highly anticipated must have, he is THE must have figure of 2013!

And, as an added bonus: THIS IS A WORLD PREMIER EXCLUSIVE NEVER BEFORE SEEN REVIEW.

That’s right, it may have cost me enough to army build with TRU MP10, but I got ahold of Fansproject Motormaster before he was officially revealed by Fansproject. Many thanks to my buddy overseas! I hope you enjoy the gold giraffe!

Please, bear in mind that this didn’t come with packaging or instructions, so the official modes might look a bit different. And since there’s no official name, I’ll be calling it Motormaster.

Yeah yeah. So lets get on with it and get to what you came for!
