Here's something I've been working on — a brand-new website that pulls all my creative content together in one place, including photography, writing, video, and podcast.

👉 sixotransformers.com

Have a look around — I’d love to know what you think.
We're back for another Transformers collector interview — and one of the most visually striking Transformers collections in Australia (or beyond)! Let's meet the man known as Big Angry Trev and his 'Transformatorium' -->

Gimmicks are an intrinsic part of Transformers toys, with a huge variety of play features from over the years! Yet not all gimmicks are created equal. Here are some that worked... and some that definitely didn't -->

Transformers Classics was the birth of modern Generations back in 2006, but then came the extra shiny Takara alternative - yes, we're back for a new episode, and we're talking Henkei! Henkei! Transformers!

What do you make of this line?

Transformers is synonymous with cool cars — as much as fish & chips!

Yet from a wealth of amazing autos featured over 40 years of toys, here are 10 that stand out as total legends -->

Have you ever had collector burnout?

We're here to chat about when collecting becomes too much, too overwhelming, too stressful. Why does it happen, and is there a way back?

Now LIVE --> triple-takeover-toyc...

Do you have any burnout stories?

A well-known, lively, and talented presence on the UK collecting scene, Gav Spence (Gavin Spence) is also the mastermind behind TRDQ on YouTube. Come check out his toys! -->

We're pulling no punches in our new episode as we chat about burnout — and not the Transformer!

It's about when collecting becomes too much, too overwhelming, too stressful. Why does it happen, and is there a way back?

Few topics generate as much confusion in Transformers as scale.

Whether big toys or small, their comparative size has been a conversation since the '80s — and here are 10 examples which redefined what scale even means -->

I love collecting pristine vintage Transformers toys, but some items aren't special because they're in perfect condition — it's more about the story behind them.

And so it is with Ceji 'red foot' Optimus Prime.

This Megatron is certainly super

Titans Return Quake is an oddity — the character has since been "redone" in Transformers Generations despite this version dating to just 2017.

Yet there's still plenty to like, and we're drilling into that in a new miniseries --> www.patreon.com/posts/best-o...

What's your take on him?

Missing Link Grimlock is here and, well, it looks outstanding!

I've written some thoughts on it already, going through the bits that look faithful to the original — and the bits that don't!

Here --> www.patreon.com/post...

Transformers fans will be well acquainted with staring at old catalogues only to find unusual prototype toys that don't in any way match the figures you already know.

Well, that was me, but now two examples, at least, are real. Kind of.

Just casually predicting the future again
On 15th June 2023, we released our 50th minisode, including this chat, a little over 6 weeks before the first glimpse of the Transformers Missing Link line.

It turns out that sometimes, you can dare to keep all your dreams alive.

We’ve launched something new for patrons: Triple Takeover Outtakes.

Rather than scattering bonus clips around, we’re now bundling them into dedicated volumes — starting back at our earliest recordings.

Vol 1 is live now, with more to follow over the next month.

I just heard the suggestion of TakaraTomy doing Missing Link Grimlock in Beast Wars Grimlock colours and now I've never wanted anything more.

Missing Link Grimlock is here, and there is *plenty* to talk about!

I've written a new article detailing what we know about this upcoming figure — and what remains to be seen, including some speculation for the future --> tfsource.com/blog/20...

Are you excited or not feeling this one?

Don't be afraid to acknowledge that he is pink! 🩷

Magenta is a typically more purplish-red shade — a combo of red/blue, whereas pink is a warmer red/white combo

Speaking of gorgeous Hot Rod toys...
January 6, 2026 at 10:25 PM
This looks *wonderful* — and I am so happy to finally be in an era where Hot Rod toys can be unapologetically PINK!

I wrote a few more words about it - www.patreon.com/posts/proof-...

2025 is done, and we're here to define our favourite Transformers toys of the year!

What was your standout toy of 2025?

We now have a better look at the upcoming MPG Hot Rod, and it prompts the obvious question — is this just some sort of SS86 upscale?

I've written a thing about exactly this here --> www.patreon.com/post...

What do you make of the new Transformers reveal?
January 6, 2026 at 10:45 AM
Missing Link Grimlock is on the way, and it's safe to say there are a lot of questions, including what might be next!

With that in mind, I've written about it all here --> www.patreon.com/post...

Are you excited about the new toy?
