I say this not lightly, but I don't think any Transformers toy announced in 2026 has me *as* excited as TakaraTomy New Legends Galvatron. Massive pink dragons FTW! Here's everything you need to know about it — and a bit more --> tfsource.com/blog/20... Will you get this guy?
Repaints remain a major part of Transformers collecting — yet here are some recent Generations toys with obvious redecos still left on the table! --> tfsource.com/blog/20... Would you like to see this lot happen?

We all know Transformers is a brand shared by Hasbro and TakaraTomy — but when the Japanese toy manufacturer gets to cook solo, the results are often intriguing! Here are 5 key examples of Takara doing it their own way --> tfsource.com/blog/20... Do you agree on the choices?
Armada Thrust is a real oddball — with no hands, design compromises, and weird gimmicks But the TWO (count them) Powerlinx repaints are an interesting story — and may just have turned me round on the toy... Come read about it --> www.patreon.com/sixo... Who else is into this guy?
We're halfway through 2026 (yep!) but what have been the best Transformers toys of the year... so far? That's the questions we asked ourselves — our answers are in our new podcast episode! Live for all on Spotify, YouTube & all podcast hosts --> triple-takeover-toyc... What's your take?

"You'll never stop at one!" Picked up MPG-17 Optimus Prime from Hobby Genki — and it turns out he's tons of fun! Super poseable & surprisingly quick to transform (took me about 3 mins) More pics on the way but find him here for a great price (affiliate link) --> hobby-genki.com/en/t...
I'm going to be partnering with VALART This is a fantastic online collection management tool where you can upload, catalogue, and organise what you own — as well as valuing everything for sales or insurance purposes! More to come but check them out → www.valart.co.uk?via...
