“You Better Weaponise!” – Nonnef Power of the Primes Dinobot Weapons Upgrades

Posted on30th October 201831st October 20185 Comments

A new Transformers movie on the horizon means a new toy line to accompany it. Usually this isn’t something that would do a whole lot for me as I tend to let the live action films, and their accompanying Star Destroyer scale of merch, float Read More …
