Age of Extinction Lockdown Video Review

My local Target finally got some new figures in and I was lucky enough to find Lockdown! He’s a nice figure, but doesn’t quite do the character in the film justice. Even so, I’m happy to have Ol’ Gun Face!

My First Video Review!

I’ve been wanting to start making video reviews for a little while and tonight I finally gave it a shot. This was originally meant for just my own test purposes, but it turned out pretty decent so I went ahead and edited it (my first time even opening video editing software!) and got it up on YouTube. It’s certainly not perfect, but it was fun! And that’s what Transformers is all about, right?

Enjoy!

Hoist’s Top Ten Transformers – TF: Animated

Welcome to Hoist’s Top Ten Transformers series! In these articles, I will be showing off the top ten transformers figures from my collection. The top ten from each toy line will be chosen and the series will culminate in an overall top ten.

Top_Ten_AnimatedTransformers: Animated (TFA) was chosen by fans of my Facebook page to be the first list presented. TFA was a cartoon series and toyline that was active from 2008 – 2010 and featured a very unique animation and toy design style. This was one of the first toylines to be very faithful to the animation of the cartoon.

TF6 Announcement Was Not True – It Was Satire

Hoist_Sorry

OK. So I wrote this completely and utterly fake article about Transformers 6 in response to that National Report article that was getting passed around on the Transformers pages on Facebook a few days ago just to show how easy it is to do. Kudos to everyone that got the joke (even if you needed a little hint).

I didn’t mean it as any kind of social experiment or to upset anyone. I even clearly stated that it was completely false in a disclaimer at the end of the article: Continue reading

Hoist’s Top Ten Transformers – Coming Soon!

Creating_the_list

Everyone wants on the Top Ten List!

Wow! Has it really been over three months since I last posted anything here? I guess I’ve been spending too much time over on my Facebook page. It’s funny that I set that up meaning to be a way to advertise the blog over here, but that has ended up being what I spend most of my time using. I think it’s because of the nearly instantaneous feedback over there and practically built in fan base, not to mention being able to interact with some other great pages.

Anyway. I’ll still be spending my time there, but occasionally I get the urge to write some longer article than what is appropriate in a  Facebook post. One of those topics is Hoist’s Top Ten Transformers. I got the idea from another page over on the ‘Book (Bombshell the Insecticon), but I haven’t been able to narrow it down to just ten. My first crack at it only got me down to 58! Ha! Since I can’t narrow down my favorite TF toys to only ten without going through at least one preliminary round first. I think the best way to do this is to pick a top ten from each of the product lines (continuities?) and then try to narrow down to an overall top ten from there. Those categories are:

Screen Junkies – How To Fix TRANSFORMERS – Reaction

Screen Junkies posted this video on YouTube today and when I first watched it, I felt angry and needed to write my reaction. Take a look if you want:

After watching it again to get my thoughts in order for this post, I found that I wasn’t too annoyed by all of the suggestions, but most were ridiculous. First of all, who the heck is Nick Mundy and what makes him worthy of presenting these suggestions. Seriously, I’ve never heard of the guy. My impression is that he’s a loud-mouth who is trying to be one of those comics that gets laughs by being angry and loud. It doesn’t work, especially since these aren’t particularly original ideas. Even Hal Rudnick, the host seemed to be completely uninterested, bordering on annoyed. I can’t tell if he’s just not into Transformers or if it’s his guest. Anyway, here are the suggestions presented in the video.
