In the photos we see the transformation of the figure, the figure in package and looks at both robot and vehicle modes. These photos are of the blue version of the figure.

With TFcon's 2012 exclusive Shafter rising to the occasion when it comes to this year's exclusives, I figured now was a good time to give some focus to last year's exclusive duo of
Stronghold and
Toxin. Stronghold is a redeco of the great Hardhead upgrade set, this time for Universe Onslaught, and comes complete with Reprolabels to customize the Onslaught body into something new and altogether unique - a proto-Fortress Maximus version of Fortress / Cerebros. It's rather cool and the Toronto number plate decal adds a lot to the look.
Toxin meanwhile is a redeco of the first Headrobots release, Cobra, and is a nice little complement to the set - it also goes well on a Mindwipe body in my experience.
Open the links below to check out both galleries!
TFcon 2011 Exclusive StrongholdTFcon 2011 Exclusive ToxinTFcon 2012 will be held over the weekend of July 27-29, 2012 at the Delta Meadowvale Resort and Conference Centre in Mississauga, Ontario. Find out more and pre-register - or get your non-attendee Shafter -

Here is a small update from our friends at Auto Assembly - the
artwork for the 2012 passes has been revealed. There's two different pieces of artwork for the two different pass types - for the full weekend passes there's artwork of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, and for the reduced access Partner Passes there is a piece of art featuring Prowl, Perceptor and Animated Sentinel Prime - a piece of art ideal for getting signed by this year's three voice actor guests Michael Bell, Paul Eiding and Townsend Coleman!
But if you are thinking of attending then you may wish to get booked up fast - Auto Assembly 2012 may well be headed for a
complete sell out weekend! The convention is capped at 1000 places, and things are well on course to hit that target - the word as always is to book early and avoid disappointment! Find out more and book your place at the
Auto Assembly homepage!
Auto Assembly 2012 is taking place at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in Birmingham over the weekend of 3-5 August. I'll be there - I hope to see you there too!
