Beast Wars Neo was weird — and it was brilliant.

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.

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.
