The Greatest Transformers Playset of All Time
 |
Remember the Ark? The spaceship that the Autobots came to earth on during the G1 Transformers cartoon? The enterprising geniuses over at iGear have decided that humanity has existed long enough without an awesome, in-scale playset of this ship’s bridge, and are making the above version which — and I’m not even that big a Transformers fan — makes me want to cry it’s so fantastic. Now, iGear has made several Transformers kits and upgrades for existing figures in the past, but this is definitely the most ambitious project they’ve done; god only knows when it’ll come out or how much it’ll cost. Check out plenty more pics here, and take a peek at their next project — a playset of the Decepticon’s spaceship bridge. (Via 16bit)
