Windblade was announced some time ago but has gone under several redesigns since the initial concepts. The character was created through the first fan poll that Hasbro ran, having fans choose different aspects of the design. She also recieved several IDW miniseries in the old run, and featured in several cartoon series since then such as RiD2015 and Cyberverse.

What do you think of this model? Will you be adding her to your collections?

I like her enough I've preordered her from two separate sites (in case anything goes wrong with either, and also because I like how this looks that much). One will be Windblade herself whilst the other will be kitbashed into someone else. As she has very little in the way of integrated plane kibble she could be made into basically anyone...hmmm. I have an idea...

Woah... Dat Windblade...

This may be my first ever Flame Toys purchase ever.
Once the preorders for her are live at a Canadian online store, I'm so preordering! :BOWDOWN:

Pre-ordered. I remember I used to hate Windblade, but now I have a lot of her on a shelf. Same with Barricade.

Greetings Seibertronians! Officially licensed third party company, Flame Toys, have recently taken to their social media channels to promote their upcoming Shattered Glass Drift Furai Model Kit! To this end they furnished their posts with several new images! We get a good look at the box art and all the runners for the kit that you'll be using to make this fantastic, non-transforming, model.

Shattered Glass Drift is based from the Shattered Glass concept, popularised by the Mirror Universe from the Star Trek franchise and introduced to Transformers via the BotCon 2008 set. Drift here is depicted as being part of the Villainous Autobots.

Will you be building Drift up? Have you got his regular colour version?

Weibo user Notrab shared some images of the upcoming Transformers Optimus Primal figure.

This is from Flame Toys' "budget" line, called the Furai Action line and it is a fully assembled figure. This is a slight reimagining of the character in their style. I comes with a mutant mask head, which is also slightly reimagined, along with some weapons. You'll let us know what you think.

It's just unfortunate that this BAD-ASS Primal is not transformable. It wouldn't add that many parts to make him transform in ape mode. I really want to see how the ape would look.

It's growing on me since the unpainted prototype that was a bit generic. Not a must have, hopefully master made will get round to some super deformed from other tf lines as a sd Primal with adjustabl facial expressions (bot and beast) would be awesome.

Greetings Seibertronians! Flame Toys taken to their Twitter account to give us more images of their Kuro Kara Kuri Victory Leo to salivate over!

These new images show him with his box and also include two messages images of him combined with their previously released, Star Saber! The indominating looking Victory Saber is a re-imagined combined form for the pair.

What do you think of this high end figure?

Getting major Yuusha/Brave vibes there, and the boots actually look decent in this configuration! I like how the lion legs form bracing stabilizers (presumably to absorb the recoil of those cannons) on his boots, and the lion chest is a great addition to the design. A shame I'm not in the market for this, because it does look cool.

It is sold out from a few online places, so check with your dedicated online collectible retailer if they have any left in stock.

Yeah, this is what the original combination should have looked like. Far more creative than just turning Victory Leo into a backpack and boots for Star Saber.

If you're a big fan (or even a moderate fan) of Flame Toys' Transformers Furai Model line then there's some good news coming your way! The company officially announced Friday from the ACG HK 2021 event that the latest entries to the plastic model line will be Bludgeon and Banzaitron! For some this is the most ideal use of the Furai Model line: a Pretender and an Action Master. And no, they don't share any parts, the two martial arts masters will be entirely new sets of molds. Like many Furai Models the pair is designed by Akira Amemiya of Studio Trigger, but lack his trademark stylizations (See: Optimus Prime (Attack Mode), Starscream and Devastator). More as we learn it!

In other news, the SDCC 2021 Furai Model G1 Nemesis Prime exclusive is now available to order at Bluefin for the reasonable price of $40 even. He comes with all the same accessories as the Optimus Prime kit, stands 6" tall and has 40 points of articulation. Release is expected to be August 15, 2021 meaning you wont have to wait long to get the evil doppelganger in your collection.

Like what you see or tired of Transformers that don't transform (even though these two typically transform as is anyway)? Let us know in the Energon Pub Forums!

Gotta admit, I'd be tempted bu both of these undeads. But I'll need more than concept art to bite.

There's also Arcee and Blackarachnia in the works. I've seen prototype pictures somewhere...

Banzaitron isn't "undead", only Bludgeon is.

Now, if there's a way to customize Bludgeon into being a pretender shell for a custom, smaller Bludgeon figure, then this is thing will sell like hot cakes. Hopefully, more, non-transforming characters will be released, thus making these figures actually relevant to the needs of more TF fans.

Bludgeon and Banzaitron look awesome! And Blackarachnia too, I love Ban's artwork and Blackarachnia is one of my favourite characters, so I'll be sure to preorder her when she comes up.

Action Masters and Pretenders at last, those are perfect for this line.

I know, right? I really hope both FT and S7 continue to make more "literal" non-transforming toys. I really think that they're the ones most of us want from a line like this. Then, perhaps Hasbro will wake up and start making RED series versions (but hopefully with better QC).

Did this get posted? Because if not, Furai Model Acid Storm!

I was actually contemplating painting my Skywarp up as Acid Storm and I'm glad I held off now! I might have to get this; I have some of Alclad II's Candy Enamel Bottle Green, and I reckon I could give him a really cool deco.

I will be unsurprised if the Acid Storm gets released before Windblade. I don't know if it was announced earlier than this if there would be an Acid Storm, but I get the feeling like it's on preorder so people will have something to tide them over while Windblade is delayed.

Re: Flame Toys Announce Furai Models Windblade Preorder (2123718)
Posted by Emerje on December 20th, 2021 @ 8:57pm CST

You may have already seen this on our front page from our site sponsors, but in case you missed it the latest character to get the Furai Model treatment from Flame Toys is Acid Storm! While this isn't a huge surprise, especially knowing that Hasbro tends to favor the green guy over, say, Sunstorm, the the colors are pretty interesting. Acid Storm is one of those characters that doesn't have a truly iconic look. His colors tend to be anywhere from dark green to neon green, camo optional, but this time he's sporting teal and purple highlights that we haven't seen before and they look good! Otherwise this is the same model we've already seen start out as Starscream. As mentioned before he's available for order now and is expected to be out in May 2022.

In other news we have some updated shots of the upcoming Windblade kit expected to be out in February in US after multiple delays. And in a little bit of under the radar catchup we have some first looks at Soundwave, Shockwave, and Arcee kits that were displayed in November at SDCC Special Edition. Interestingly while Arcee and Soundwave have heavily stylized designs Shockwave is purely G1 cartoon inspired.

And finally, it isn't just about the models. We're also treated to an early look at Kuro Kara Kuri Cyclonus and Starscream!

I will fully admit here that the Windblade figure looks absolutely stunning, but I do like the looks of the upcoming Shockwave, Soundwave, and Arcee.

Hmmm, sort of disappointed by that Shockwave. I was expecting something pointier.

I might be interested in that acid storm and I really don't know why.

Posted by Evil Eye on December 21st, 2021 @ 4:18pm CST

I hope Shockwave is just in the early development phase, because he looks a bit plain next to the others, though proportionally I like him. Also hoping Windblade finally gets in soon, I've had her on preorder for months now!

Acid Storm looks great too, though given I paint my kits the base colours don't hugely matter.

I am pretty sure that by the time the new colored images come in, we might get a better understanding of how the figure will look. In the meantime, we can only speculate and wait until further notice.

This one has been a slow burn, but at long last, we seem to finally be getting some more news on the Flame Toys Furai model kit Hound figure. First teased in 2017 and given an advertisement in a Flame Toys catalog in 2018, the Furai model Hound uses the G1 Hound design as a basis before adding the furai stylization onto the frame and seemingly throwing in some movie Hound into the mix too. This Hound figure includes a heavily stylized look complete with lots of guns and what appears to be an eye patch head sculpt. Hound appears to be finally moving into production, with the tweet from Flame Toys showing off this particular image advertising that he is coming along and that with patience he will be seen soon.

Check out the new image below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Looks neat! In one of his many examples of deliberate irony, Bob Budianski made the first Autobot with a military alt the most peace-minded Bot on the original Ark crew, and these embellishments to his G1 design ratchet up the irony another notch.
