…at first the bots were just happy that the humans and other ”fleshies” were gone…
At first all production stopped, you would see bots making art, drinking toxic waste for intoxication, dancing and doing all those things that were reserved for humans and other fleshies before…
…since there was no production to speak of soon there started being no new spare parts, so a lot of droids died by minor diseases as burnt fusification box, corroded logic board and overload in atom coagulators…
the prices for spare parts rocketed and gangs of fortune seekers formed that robbed healthy robots on their techno-organelles and left them to die in the gutter…
…something had to be done!!! 4 sectors and four leaders emerged, they organized the mess, every bot in the sector had to do one hour of community service a month…
…well, all except for sector 3 who had two hours, the other sectors soon followed by increasing their population’s work to double since they were afraid that the leading faction would have more healthy robots and could out-compete their rivals…
…the spare-part arms race had begun, soon all sectors had their droids working more than when they had human masters… military robots were produced at millions a month, warmachines too, spaceship and bombs…
…soon some of the war-bots realized that they could rebel against their masters and form their own militaristic bands or unite with the organelle-robbing gangs, soon there about a thousand warlords and factions, forcing their population to work non-stop until they perished by the surveyor-belt at the factory floor!
A permanent civil war had become the state of the state of once free robots…
Mercenary forces was called in by the factions to boost their numbers, first only robots, then cyborgs and finally even fleshies…
The emancipated cyber-paradise had turned in to a stinking warzone with slaves, warriors and mercenaries all fighting each other in an endless pointless war…
Some factions even had fleshie war advisors that rose into prominence and sometimes were the de-facto rulers of the cyber-chiefdoms!!!
The tiny little Autobot named Bumblebee gets an official Masterpiece grade release from Takara-Tomy (MP 21 Bumble). Pictured in his robot mode.
Far smaller that previous MP Autobot cars, he fits well being the minibot scale. His transformation is excellent as expected.
His design is very much like ToyWorld's Bii, but don't with better paint, engineering, and polish.
While on a layover in Tokyo, I decided to do some shopping at the KitKat Chocolatory, post office, and Nakano Broadway shopping centre.
Nakano Broadway sells anime and all sorts of collectible items like this Transformers gift set. This brings back a lot of childhood memories. I used to play with these toys as a kid, but now I have them displayed at home. This set of mini Autobots was the cheapest I could find. It set me back 5,500 yen ($72 CAD).
On a fringe part of the universe a planet made entirely out of Metals and alloys drift not in an orbit but as a rogue-planet. Its inhabitants consist out of sentient and living and transforming robots…
This planet is known as the Cyber-goo. On this cold iron orb marooned in drift in interstellar space, there has been a war for millions of years between different factions fighting for the dominance of its inorganic tuft…
…a Mysterious entity known as Vicky-thor Ziggy a semi religious ancient figure serves all factions as the chief techno-mage and life-givet on the planet…
Once every 2001 cyber-years he has an audience for those bots suffering from Mis-transformational dysfunction, a state that is brought by mental Trauma or shock, where a bot either can’t transform or is stuck in an in-between transformation, like a metal shark with arms and legs…
Let us eavesdrop as a techno-fly on the wall on one such event:
I am Vicky-thor Sigmus, I was before Cyber-goo was… who comes forth with mis-transformation problems needing a fix!
I Three-wheel Two-gun comes forth and asks for a remedy from being stuck in eternal vehicle mode… I was shell shocked in a battle with shock-shell a Combatibot…
A sparkle of energy arises from the ancient tech-mage and penetrated T-w T-G’s husk of armor…
you are now cured, I added a humanoid bot mode to your forms… I also added an atom-bomb mode for free!
Oh! Thanks Ziggy Vick vector…
Who is next, step forwards and claim your case!
Hello Vicky! I am Power-battery walker model… I have been stuck in crossbreed mode between a power-battery and a horse robot mode for eons… can you please make a formation corrective transformation for me?
I am Vick-zig-thor! I am ancient, nothing gets past me, I was before cyber-goo was, you are trying to pull my hover-base… you are a federational bot pretending to be a Cyber-gooian to get a transformation and a genuine Tech-soul! you will be punished for your failed deception…
A torrent of sparks again flow from the ancient Tech-Mage and the power-battery droid from the federation is turned into a jukebox only containing music from Karl-Heinz Stockhausen

Bumblebee es uno de los personajes más carismáticos y emblemáticos de la generación 1 y todavía no tenía su figura! Por eso adoro estas reediciones Encore!
Bumblebee fue incluido en el paquete de Minibots reeditados bajo Encore.
Le realizaron varias mejoras incluyendo la cara más parecida a la serie animada, aunque esta ya la habíamos visto en la reedición de Takara Collection, pero además le hicieron algunos detalles de pintura.

Bumblebee is one of the charismatic and emblematic characters of the Generation 1 and I didn't have his figure! That's why I love this Encore reissues!
Bumblebee was included in the Minibots set, reissues under Encore.
He has some improvements, including the anime accurate face, that also was included in the Takara Collection reissue, but also he has some paint details improvements.
I got this guy a little early and worked my magic on him.
He was one of my favorite minibots as a kid, so I was really excited about him when I first heard he was getting the "classics" treatment.
The result is a mixed bag.. I did like the robot mode a lot, BUT his face looked nothing like Seaspray.. so I added his signature mouthplate and gave him that old school face from G1.
I also added a custom gun.

Simpático minibot, de los primeros que se convertía en vehículo acuático. Gran diseño tanto en robot como en vehículo.
Está en excelente estado, también una ganga en eBay.

LOGO MOTION™is played by two competing alliances on a flat 27’ x 54’ foot field. Each alliance consists of three robots. They compete to hang as many inflated plastic shapes (triangles, circles, and squares) on their grids as they can during a 2 minute and 15 second match. The higher the teams hang their game pieces on their scoring grid, the more points their alliance receives.
The match begins with one 15-second Autonomous Period in which robots operate independently of driver inputs and must hang Ubertubes to score extra points. For the rest of the match, drivers control robots and try to maximize their alliance score by hanging as many logo pieces as possible. Any logo piece hung on the same peg as an Ubertube receives double points. If teams assemble the logo pieces on their scoring grids to form the FIRST® logo (triangle, circle, square, in a horizontal row in that order), the points for the entire row are doubled.
The match ends with robots deploying minibots, small electro-mechanical assemblies that are independent of the host robot, onto vertical poles. The minibots race to the top of the pole to trigger a sensor and earn additional bonus points.
Classics deluxe scale Autobot minibots in their robot modes.
All but Bumblebee are from iGear's Mini-Warrior line. I'm happy with all of these guys at this scale, even though they aren't the greatest figures for their cost. Gears is the standout in my opinion.
L-R: Beachcomber (Duneraker), Outback (Bushwacker), Brawn (Hench), Swerve (Veer), Gears (Cogz), Cosmos (UFO), and Bumblebee.
We just need a larger Huffer, Pipes, Windcharger, and Tailgate to finish off the minibots right. The original iGear releases are too small, and so are the scout/legends class figures. I don't mind Powerglide and Seaspray being larger since they aren't automobiles.
Here are my Transformers Classics versions of the original six Autobot minibots that were on the ark in the Transformers Generation 1 cartoon. Pictured in robot modes.
L-R: Bumblebee (Bii), Cliffjumper, Huffer (Huff), Windcharger, Brawn (Hench), Gears (Cogz)
The scale of these guys in the G1 cartoon was varied, and so these guys are kinda close. Huffer is just a bit too big, Windcharger is too small (I have a custom in the works), and Cliffjumper needs a different head. Overall I'm happy with these guys for now.

One of my favortie characters as a kid, I'm so glad Hasbro revisited him and made some sort of "ultimate" Powerglide figure.
I totally repainted him to match the animated look and I also panel lined all the details, which looks great on jets of any kind! And if you add the great sculpt, he now looks absolutely accurate.
