Seibertron.com's resident kitbasher Jin Saotome has cooked up another beauty for our viewing (and purchasing) pleasure.

Using the Universe 2.0 Powerglide mold, he's created a COBRA Rattler vehicle. Complete with gattling gun and removable missles, this bad boy is sure to impress.



Here's what the man himself describes this beauty as:

"Crashing through the night comes a fearful cry, Decepticons, Decepticons!" That’s right, just like in the comics we get a team up of Transformers and GI Joe here with this custom! Powerglide has been transformed into the most iconic Cobra aircraft, the Cobra Rattler. He’s decked out in a highly detailed paint job that includes realistic shading, panel wear, flight weathering, metallics, and is sealed to prevent wear. He even sports the Cobra Airforce decals as well as Decepticon emblems. His missiles are removable and he has a rotating center turret that activates his lights and machine gun sounds.

This figure is available for auction here, but if you want in on it, better hurry, there's less than 24 hours remaining at the time of posting.

Need more triple changer action? Love Takara's smallest Transformers? How about an auction for a Smallest Transformers Springer custom?

Seibertron.com's BlackMagnus found this very interesting auction on eBay. It appears that this is a transforming custom-made Generation 1 styled Springer, created by the same folks who did the Ultra Magnus with transformable armor for a japanese convention not too long ago.

This custom was sold at the recent japanese Wonderfest convention in very limited numbers. Smallest Transformers collectors like myself love the idea, but wince at the rarity of this cool figure and the others made by the same talented folks.





UPDATE! The same seller also has a WONDERFEST exclusive Goldbug WST for sale here. And no it is not simply a WST Bumblebee repaint, but a smaller version of the G1 Throttlebot toy.

A new picture has surfaced on Taobao.com showing what the Wave 3 of Universe will look like to Canada, Quebec and Mexico. Much like Wave 1 which featured Sunstreakers box art on all three card fronts, Wave 3 will feature Ironhide on the card front.

The distinguishing features between the figures, other then the figures themselves will the head shot on the right hand side of the box.

The back will more then likely display Ironhide, Silverstreak and Sideswipe. It us unclear at this point if it will show Galvatron or Acid Storm included in the bunch instead of the bio the normally seen on the back of standard U.S. packaging.

Remember, when you see this on eBay in the few months it's not a super rare packaging variant. It's just Canadian packaging.

Hasbro Canada has stated that the will be using more unique packaging some 2009 when the start to celebrate 25 years of Transformers.

Archatron has found an eBay auction showing the Animated Voyager Optimus Prime sporting a new package, and a new way to be arranged in the package.

Previously, upon first release, Animated Voyager Optimus Prime was released in alt mode, leaving a bit of room in the box.


Now the toy appears to be packaged in robot mode and the box seems to be oriented to stand on the short end, instead of to be displayed on the long end.




Interesting, or meh? Will we see repackages of more Voyager sized Animated toys in this way?

Anyone got a few thousand dollars lying around wondering what to spend it on?

Recently, prowl13f found the elusive dino-cassettes on eBay and shared the auction with our community, but now, now some even more hard to come by items have made there way to auction sites.

Yahoo! Japan has a Chrome Colored G1 Soundwave for auction, at a fairly reasonable price at this point. One might even hazard to call this the ultimate 'pimped' Soundwave.

And now for the high rollers, an unproduced Lucky Draw Black G1 Rodimus Prime...starting bid, a whopping $2,999.99. A few holidays worth of gifts there.

What's cool is that we get to actually see these, and some lucky collector(s) could own them. Should we start a pool of money here at Seibertron, buy the toy, and share it, each of us can have it in our toy room for a week? Just a thought.

Enjoy the images while the auctions are live, you may never get a chance to see these rarities again.
