Aiseyman!! It’s not about that “Transformers”.
It's on the “Government Transformation Programme” launch.
Read more about this “Transformers” here.

The little autobots characters are from Matt Moylan's Lilformers.
Can you name them all ?

HENSHIN : Dune Runner

Dune Runner, a member of Mini-Con Adventure Team from Transformers Armada, transforms into a dune buggy, with an awesome machine gun. The cool dune buggy mode is the reason I bought the Mini-Con Adventure Team's set.

From Transformer's Wiki :
Dune Runner is the Adventure Mini-Con Team's technical expert, with a knack for gauging field conditions and other mission variables. He's usually a bright and cheery Mini-Con who lets everyone around him know it, looking to brighten the mood of those around him. But his emotional lows run as extreme as his highs; should something upset him, he is subject to depression and relentless complaining. A particular trigger for this is forcing him to leave warmer climates for damper or colder ones. As such, Iceberg's penchant for trying to steer the Team to cold-weather missions ends up doubly annoying

Special Note :
"Henshin" will be a segment where I will feature a Transformer changing to OR from its' alternate mode. As this is the first video in the "Henshin" segment, its' quality is not that great due to poor pictures (poor lighting, shifting angles, lacks creativity and of course the usual interruption by Amir. He woke up before I could finish taking all the pictures.) I'm not sure how often I will post for the segment as I have to take about 20 photos to create the 20 second video. Very time consuming lah ...

Japanese   : Henshin

Spotlight - Transformers Armada's Mini-Con Adventure Team

From Transformer's Wiki :
The Mini-Con Adventure Team, from Transformers Armada.
- Dune Runner the buggy.
- Iceberg the snow-tracker.
- Ransack the pickup truck.

Between the three of them, the team can handle any terrain. They dig in deep and plow their way across frozen wilderness, parched deserts or deep swamps to get the job done!

Dune Runner broke down and needed to be pull by Ransack while Iceberg is coming to give a push. Amir gave me this idea and insisted me to take the photo.

Mamat Interframe dah mai datang mengacau. Awat lah hang tidoq sat sangat.

Concept Art for TFA Prowl by Derrick Wyatt

This is the concept art for TFA Prowl by Derrick Wyatt, Lead Character Designer for Transformers:Animated. Both picture and excerpt are from his blog, A Delightful Tedium, which I've added to my blogroll.

" I had originally had him colored more like the black and white G1 version. Since Ratchet was already going to be primarily white, and the ninja aspect of the new Prowl's character was going to be played up, we decided to go with the black, gold and tan theme.", Derrick Wyatt.

Amir tried out for Transformers' casting

Here's Amir Hamzah trying out for the role of Megatron, Bumbleebee and Blackout before Michael Bay told him that they would prefer using CGI instead.
