#GCWO: The Great Cybertronian Write Off (part 4)

In case you've somehow missed it, I've teamed up with a couple of other Transformers fans to form The Great Cybertronian Write Off. Together with TFSquareOne and Toybox Soapbox, the goal is to publish a short retrospective on a different G1 toy every day using our respective social media accounts under the hashtag #GCWO. Below you can see the fourth week's collected in one place (although you'll need to check out the other chaps' blogs to see their entries in full stunning detail).

#GCWO: The Great Cybertronian Write Off (part 3)

Over the last few weeks I've published summaries of the daily social media activity I've been involved with as part of The Great Cybertronian Write Off (or #GCWO as the kids undoubtedly say). Along with both TFSquareOne and Toybox Soapbox the goal is to publish a short retrospective on a different G1 toy every day using our respective social media accounts under the hashtag #GCWO. Below you can see the third week's collected in one place (although you'll need to check out the other chaps' blogs to see their entries in full stunning detail).

REVIEW: TakaraTomy Masterpiece MP-48 Lio Convoy

It seems like we’ve had a few new Masterpiece toys to review of late, with both MP Hound and Bumblebee being given the treatment just recently. Well now it’s that time again except now we’re back on a Beast Wars kick, which is pretty exciting as they’re typically some of my favourites from the line! But wait, this one is a bit of a twist as it’s a character from Beast Wars II – it’s Lio Convoy!

#GCWO: The Great Cybertronian Write Off (part 2)

Last week I published the first summary of GCWO activity - or rather, The Great Cybertronian Write Off if you're not entirely caught up on proceedings! The plan is pretty simple. I've partnered up with both TFSquareOne and Toybox Soapbox to between us publish a short retrospective on a different G1 toy every day. They're all being shared on our respective social media accounts (using the hashtag #GCWO), but below you can see the second week's collected in one place (although you'll need to check out the other chaps' blogs to see theirs in full stunning detail).

UNBOXING: Devil Saviour DS-01 Split

I’ve been tremendously excited to take a look at Devil Saviour Split in hand for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the idea of an MPM-scale combined mode Devastator is just too much for words! Secondly, the finish on the toy looks great in photos. And finally, the reception to him has been decidedly mixed (pun very much intended), so I wanted to make up my own mind.

UNBOXING: TakaraTomy Masterpiece MP-48 Lio Convoy

I’ve been looking forward to this toy for… well, since it was unveiled really! I’ve always loved the Lio Convoy design and so the idea of a fully-fledged Masterpiece version was always going to be something to get excited about. Besides, just look at it!

#GCWO: The Great Cybertronian Write Off (part 1)

There was an idea... to bring together a group of remarkable people. To see if they could become something more. To see if they could work together when we needed them to. To photograph the toys that we never could.

Which is a very pretentious and grandiose way of saying that a group of us decided to band together and share a bunch of pics and some mini-reviews of classic Generation 1 Transformers toys!
