Transformers
View allAll Photos Tagged transformers
The title "Transformers" can be read in a number of ways. The two sculptures - The Ironmaster and The Coal Miner - were constructed from the leftovers of the steelworks at Consett, County Durham, which at one time was one of the largest producers of steel in Europe.
The 6 m high sculptures represent the industrial heritage of the region - steelmaking and coal mining. They can be found on the former Stanhope & Tyne railway line, built in 1834 to link the steelworks at Consett to the sea at Sunderland, which closed following the demolition of the steelworks in 1985.
The sculptures were commissioned by Northern Arts and Sustrans in 1990 as part of the development of the National Cycle Network. They were built by David Kemp and Tom Leaper in a former North Eastern Electricity Board yard at Wallsend, Tyne and Wear.
This image was taken from a scanned negative. The plaque on the ground below the sculptures reads:
"The men who lived here dug the black stone. In giant huts they burned earth turning it into iron. They turned the sky red. A river of steel ran down to the sea and was transformed again into locos, ships and machines which transformed the world."
Yick Cheong Building, a public housing development in Quarry Bay. It might be made popular by a scene in Transformers Age Of Extinction..
Really love the colourful buildings.

An OD Transport Mack Titan, hauling a $3.6m, 147 tonne transformer on a 104-wheel trailer, prepares to reverse into the Magill power substation. With the trailer weighing 60 tonne, and the Mack Titans tipping the scales at 24 tonne each, the whole thing weighed over 250 tonne.

Primer Reissue (reedición) de un transformer G1 que consigo. No tienen la misma calidad de los originales, pero si se quiere conseguir personajes de la G1 en excelente estado y no se tiene mucho dinero, las reediciones son una excelente opción.

Otro Transformers más del lote con Metroplex. Al principio solo tenía la cabina, pero fui adquiriendo el cajón y el resto de piezas hasta que ya lo tengo practicamente completo, ya que solo faltan los puños del robot pequeño, que no me interesa conseguir.

Hasbro version of Masterpiece Skywarp.
Amazing figure, more cartoon accurate than the Takara version.
This is one of my sons first "big boy" toys. He is nearly 35 now but I keep this one as it will always bring back a memory that my baby was growing up fast.
We had gone into town on the bus, no buggy, he was about 2 and a half. First stop toys r us. He chose this transformers which is a VW beetle as we had one at the time.
When we got outside of the shop we opened up the packaging. I was reading the instructions how to transform the car, but before I had finished he had worked it out all on his own. Yes he was one of those kids! Still is!!
I keep this one close to my heart as a reminder of the day my baby turned into a little boy!

Part of the 2 piece Fansproject Crossfire 02 sets, here is Blast Off in aerial drone mode.
Officially called Explorer on the box, he is a replacement member / limb for the Classics Bruticus set. Instead of being a copy of the futuristic tank toy, this toy homages the purple space shuttle.
His alternate mode has been slightly updated to be an unmanned aerial drone (no cockpit or windows), and as such he can be transported / launched from Onslaught's vehicle mode.
His portion of the set (Crossfire 02 - XF-02A - Explorer) comes with tons of transformable weapons and parts for the other team members.

Reference here (after the 1st minute) :
Just got back from vacation to the Midwest, this is the Milwaukee Art Museum, located on the shores of Lake Michigan. Since the Milwaukee Lakefront faces East, this is a sunrise. (I hate waking up early). I was able to get some really great shots on my vacation, and they are very different from my typical images due to the different landscapes in the Midwest vs. the West Coast. This was the first morning, so I figured I would post this image first.
The Quadracci Pavilion of the Milwaukee Art Center was built in 2001 by famous Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, and was also featured in the 2011 film: Transformers Dark of the Moon.

I started the Christmas decorations with the kids this weekend.
I've been really slacking in taking pictures, hopefully I can get back in the groove.
