Transformers News Thread 2012 Edition

I have always been a fan of the combiners (This might explain why I also like Voltron so much). With Bruticus making an appearance at SDCC this weekend, here is a montage of all the Transformers combiners (some I didn't even know about, but now I'll be looking into them):

Predaking was always my favorite combiner, but they were animals and you know I'm a big Beast Wars fan!

I stopped by Target yesterday to check out the Toys and am still not impressed with the Transformers Prime toys, and especially at the new $15.00 price tag. Are the toys themselves any good? Looks like Bay got into hentei and spawned these bastards.

Question for those more knowledgable: Did Classics Windcharger ever get released? This is one I was keeping my eyes open for and never found it in stores.

[starjoesryan]

I have bought any of the Prime figures, but I know some people on the forums here have.

I have not seen or know of a classic Windcharger figure being made yet.

The only Predacon figure I had as a kid was Razrclaw, but I wanted to get them all. Predaking was just a HUGE combiner.

Anyone reading IDW's Transformers continuation of the old Marvel series. I just picked up a copy and am interested in checking it out. I never read the old series but had gone through TFarchive.com reading the synopsis of each issue, so I should be pretty caught up.

I never had Prowl. I always wanted him. I had Smokescreen, who was the same body and transformation style. I still don't have a Prowl, but I really need to get one. One of my favorite Transformers characters. Definitely one of my top 5 Autobots:

1) Optimus Prime
2) Jazz
3) Ironhide
4) Grimlock
5) Prowl

Prowls my favorite transformer. I've got a vintage one still and the reissue from like 10 years ago or so

I think Long Haul was the last one I had to get of the Constructicons. For some reason, a dump truck was the hardest for me to find.

I of course always wished I had more Transformers than I did. Amazingly, many of my favorite characters from the show I did not have as toys...I have no idea why.
