Spotted Online – Armarauders from Mecha Workshop
Transformers: War Within* artist Don Figueroa has a new series of toys in the works and we can get peeks at the pilots in posts at both The Daytime Ninja and Toyark. Tiny little pilots . . . and now we wait for some snaps of the mecha that they pilot.
And if toy photos aren’t enough to keep you entertained there’s also this nine minutes Armarauders motion comic illustrated by Figueroa that sets the stage for the toyline. Looks great, has a very anime-feel at times (especially in the voice acting and pacing), and while it’s not something I’m loving I can appreciate all of the work that went into this. (Sorry, but most anime pacing and voice acting really aren’t my thing.)
The ending was unexpected. Watch the motion comic if you’re a fan of anime stories about powered armor, soldiers, and alien monsters.

In case people are interested, too, issue 2 is up on the Facebook page as well. It’s just not a motion comic at this point.
This is probably my most anticipated line in a long time. Loving what we’re finally seeing since this was announced in March.
@General Tekno – Thanks for the tip! I’ll check it out.
Yeah, I’m ridiculously excited for this line. Rumor has it the Pilot, Mech, and Gantry/Display base will all come packaged together.
Hefty price tag I’m sure, but it looks like it’ll be worth it. I’ve been wanting something like this for a long, long time.
@Josh – That sounds like a lot of cool stuff in a single box.
