On EVs

Electric vehicles are the only vehicles on the planet with a battery, but no alternator. Wouldn’t it be easy to modify the rear axle to house an alternator to let the rotating tires create electricity to charge the batteries to run the motor? Asking for a friend. -modified from a post by @wade1968

TFWIKI Pics Jan 2023: Grab Bag!

January's Patreon-backed @tfwiki toy picture theme is... three themes. There were a bunch of holes I kinda wanted to fill but none of them were really big enough for their own full update, so like, hey. Mix 'em up.

First we have the second round of Beast Wars "Fox Kids!" redecoes, released in 2000 alongside the new Beast Machines toys. The BW show's recent move to the Fox Kids cartoon block really boosted demand for more Transformers product, and Hasbro could only stuff so much into Machines, so Wars got extended another year with these and the Mutants. 1) Transmetal Airazor 2) Transmetal Rattrap 3) Transmetal Rhinox 4) Transmetal Waspinator

Next is a very loose theme of real car models in red. Yeah. Look, I wanted to get new pics of two of these anyway (the first and last) and found two more toys that needed new pics that matched the vague pattern.

Binaltech Meister Velocity Red Mica Edition" is perhaps better known as "Zoom-Zoom", a spare body for Binaltech Jazz equipped with an AI that Jazz is teaching to dance. I love Zoom-Zoom and he should become the new default Jazz-mold redeco.

Kiss Players Hot Rodimus is a redeco of Alternators Mirage, with some added accessories. Not just the figurine of human partner Shaoshao Li, but a 4-part fishing rod that reassembles into an arm-mounted gun like the original Hot Rod's arm-pipe-guns. But it's not very good, it doesn't clip on, just kinda grips.

Alternators Rumble is part of the final wave of Alternators toys, relegated to Walmart exclusivity. He's weird. He's simpler than most Alternators, he doesn't have normal arms, and the spring-loaded piledrivers are all wobbly once deployed. Also, no Takara release.

And then there's Universe Swerve, whose release story is a DOOZY but the short of it is, Chevy commissioned Hasbro/Takara to make an original Chevy Aveo TF mold to use as giveaways at malls and whatnot in 2007, part of the whole movie marketing thing Chevy/Paramount had going on. Which means this mold can NEVER be restored and used again. It's a truly unique piece that I'm super-happy to have.

And we're wrapping up with some pieces from Takara's 2010 Animated line. Said line is most famous for dousing the main cast in super-shiny metallic paint, but most of the toys only got a bit of it. Oil Slick only got bright green paint on his gauntlets and legs, while Blazing Lockdown just got metallic pale-gold flames instead of the Hasbro version's more cartoony yellow-gold.

Optimus Prime Clear Red Ver. is a Toys"R"Us exclusive redeco of the Legends-class Optimus. It's one of Takara's many many many many store promotional items, where you got it free with qualifying purchases on specific dates in specific stores. In this case, 3000 yen's worth of Animated product at TRU, presumably on the first weekend of the toyline's release (haven't found the exact date yet).

Prowl Elite Guard Ver. was exclusive to the 2010 Tokyo Toy Show, which ran from July 15th through the 18th. It's currently unknown what the production run on this one was.

If you like these pictural perusals through Transformers history, why not toss a coin to your pic'er at my Patreon, "gregstfwikipics"? This helps get even more pics out and can even let you pick a theme!

Transformers: Mosaic #195 - "Alt Perspective"

Originally posted on June 19th, 2008

Story - Sam Hyland Art, Letters - Benjamin Galley

deviantART | TFW2005 | BotTalk

wada sez: As part of a push to get more Decepticons in the line, the Alternators Sunstreaker mold was first released as Dead End. As Hyland explained on deviantArt: “Well, in the Binaltech storyline Swindle unleased a new strain of cosmic rust on the Earthbound Autobot forces, in response the Autobots made a deal with some auto-companies to build them new bodies, the Decepticons attacked expecting no resistance and recieved massive casulties as a result. The decepticons infiltrated the Binaltech operation and as a result whilst the people at Dodge believed they were rebuilding Sunstreaker, they were actually rebuilding Deadend. This story is set shortly after his escape from the Bt facillity.” Meanwhile, Galley explained the (unscripted) background gag of Dead End stepping on a puppy by revealing on TFW2005 that it’s named Prowl, as part of his running joke of... Prowl dying? Hmm. Anyway, check out the transformation sound in the penultimate panel!
