TRANSMOGRIFIERS

[tmnt-tech-geek.livejournal.com]

BASTARD COUSINS OF THE TRANSFORMERS THAT NO ONE TALKS ABOUT!





TRANSLATION OF BACK PANEL:

FOR CENTURIES WAR RAGED ON THE DISTANT WORLD OF SUBSTANDRATRON, A PLANET OF LIVING MACHINES. THE MACHINES SOCIETY WAS DIVIDED INTO TWO DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED CAMPS: THE HEROIC VIRTUOBOTS AND THE EVIL DECIEVOCONS.

WHEN UBERTRON, UNDISPUTED LEADER OF THE DECIEVOCONS GAINED CONTROL OF THE BIGSPARK, HE USED ITS RAW POWER TO DESTROY SUBSTANDRATRON, SCATTERING BOTH THE VIRTUOBOTS AND DECIVOCONS ACROSS THE UNIVERSE.

IN SEARCH OF A NEW HOME, POSTIVIOUS PRIME, LEADER OF THE NOBLE VIRTUOBOTS LOCATED A REMOTE PLANET CALLED EARTH. HOWEVER, ULTRATRON AND HIS WICKED DECIEVOCON ARMY FOLLOWED, THUS CONTINUING THE WAR HERE ON EARTH.

((I honestly wish I was making this shit up, I swear to Primus that is exactly what the back of the package reads word for word.))

Omg, for a second I thouhgt I was on Capslock transformers! Is he Ubertron or Ultratron? Knock off Transformers are great fun but this is the first of this kind I have ever seen!

*snrrk* Starholler. =D

Ubertron sounds like it might have been Megatron's in-ring name in gladiator fights.

OMG it so is! This is wrestlinggladiator ring brochure "character" background! MegaUbertron wears a giant sequin belt and his signature move is the Gunformer Kick.

...I wonder what Transmogrifier!Sunstreak-and-Sideswipe's gladiator names are?

Oh man. They're from the "distant world of Substandratron." Even the packaging admits that they're knock-offs. :-D
