 Snapshots

The first two photos are our official entries for the 1st Annual Toy Clicks Toy Photography Contest at the 6th Philippine Toy Convention 2007. The other two photographs are variant backgrounds for Optimus Prime. Even though we didn't win, we still had fun and are proud of what we accomplished because we never thought it would end up looking like this when we first conceptualized it. Cheers bro!

 | next time yung background dapat banawe with people stealing parts of the transformers hahaha :D |
 | ganda yan...kaso baka dapat si bumblebee na ang main character dun coz wala namang nagpapagawa ng 18-wheeler sa banawe. =) |
 | ^ haha, interesting. tapos si megatron naman binibenta sa pawnshop ng mga barel. haha.
gusto ko makita talaga yung jeep na nag-tratransform! |
 | ha ha sisikat lalo ang banawe nyan |
| Autobots, transform and prepare for battle!!!! |
| I'm so excited... baka naman di ako makatulog nyan... |
| ah yes i saw that... very impressive indeed... that's taking phoTOYgraphy to the next level... ikaw nga eh learning... I'm happy people appreciate my photos pero mero iba dyan happy to bash he he... i've been closely monitoring toycon's comments... |
| oh yeah, i've been monitoring as well! hey, you can't please everyone! especially comic and toy geeks! hahaha. but they way you take criticism in stride is very admirable man, so props for that. i say, a person's critique is more valid if that person has something to show themselves to prove how to do things 'right'. |
 | madami palang versions.. galing ^__^ |
| true true... I quite strongly agree with your last statement... :)
18thspy (Chad), dami nga kaya galing... he he |
| hey chad! yeah, we couldn't decide on a final bg until the very last day! hahaha. we really wanted it to be accurate to the show, and where do they do battle all the time right? the freakin' desert that's where! decided to put the autobot 'ark' base in there for a blatant easter egg as well. haha. thanks for dropping by man! |

 | aww... reminds me of my old school godzilla toy.. i used to sleep with it and dress it up and make it wear my baby shoes... i miss my godzilla!!! |
| haha kinda reminds me of how 'Reptar' was to the Rugrats. godzilla in baby shoes ay? haha, cute memories=) |
 | Hats of to Ryder and Bleau these guys deserve it. We hope to see more of your works. You both Rock! ^_^ |
| wow thanks! that means a lot to us! naaliw talaga ako pag nagmemessage ka, feeling ko talagang si optimus prime kausap ko, hahahaha. |

| Wow, from Sitti herself! this is so cool (grins from ear to ear), haha. nice to know fame hasn't affected you from being down-to-earth and posting on some geek's multiply. Hope you win Ikon Philippines!=) Uh... That's her manager. This is where you find her... http://bossagirl.multiply.com ^_^ |
| really? aw crud. maybe she has a personal and pro account? haha. she was there kasi when we were shooting the prime and optimus toys at this photo studio near abscbn... nahihiya nga kami ng bro ko kasi siya ung kasunod na ishoot for ikon philippines, tapos kami, mga laruan lang pinagshoshoot! she even small talked and shared remembering voltes doing the 'v cut' with the sword! haha=) |
| Oh this photo shoot was taken in the ABS CBN area.
The multiply I previously here (see above mentioned) posted is her personal account. ^_^ |
| ryderaquino wrote on Jun 25, '07, edited on Jun 25, '07 yupyup! sa e studio nga ba yun, basta may salon sa baba. gulat nga lahat ng tao dun mga robot talents ng shoot namin! haha. cool, close pala kayo ni sitti! TEXT IKON SITTI TO 2861 o yan, para may plug rin siya sa post na 'to. hahahaha=) |
| ryderaquino wrote on Jun 25, '07, edited on Jun 25, '07 damnit prime, i think it's her! click on the TEXT IKON hyperlink above. sitti, please tell optimus here it's really you... please? (hears deafening silence). hahaha |
 | niceee.... gonna watch the movie on the 28th!!! yahoooooo! |
| yeah me too! there will be activities from transformers philippines at sm megamall, so be sure to check that out too! (o yan prime, i pimped your event pa, haha) |
| wow, coolness! thanks mr. prime, hahaha. pero nalilito ako! friday pala? so not opening day thursday?
fave character = ME GRIMLOCK! I are leader of DINOBOTS!
bro, magparamdam ka naman dyan! favorite mo si wheelie diba? wahahahaha! XD
or maybe ultra magnus, the shittiest piece of shit autobot leader ever! remember the first movie? prime made the worst choice in naming him successor. haha |
| Actually Ultra Magnus was a better character in comics compared to the TV series or 1986 movie.
^_^ |
| ryderaquino wrote on Jun 26, '07, edited on Jun 26, '07 really? damn, never got to see him good. just in the movie where he made all the worst decisions, the autobots all squirmed when prime anointed him successor, and not complaining when hotrod took over the matrix (cuz' he knew he sucked). sorry for all the magnus hate! hahaha, sana hindi siya fave mo! huhu |
| aw, ede you won't stand out! choose arcee! or blaster! the obscure ones! haha |
| aw crap. he IS your fave character. ok, please don't take my membership away for dissing magnus! he looks cool, and he's uh, big? (sipsip). hahahaha.
nice trivia! yeah, i remember hotrod caught the matrix as prime was giving it to magnus. in fairness, i'm basing all my magnus hate on the movie... so i'm justified in that regard cuz he really lead the autobots to doom and was so indecisive in that one. sige, pahiram mo ko ng comics na cool si magnus. never knew he was prime's brother... how do they procreate anyway? hahaha |
| Remember the original Ultra Magnus toy is a white Optimus Prime.
They came out a story why he is wearing that armor is to protect himself due to previous injuries from the war he sustained in Cybertron.
^_^ |
| ryderaquino wrote on Jun 26, '07, edited on Jun 26, '07 yeah! usually a magnus toy comes around and is just a repaint of prime! now i know why! although it's a cheap cop out though, because the true magnus design looks so different (he's got a mouth, geeze!). thanks, you're officially my transformers guru ^_^ |
| actually if your familiar with the Pre-TransFormers toys known as Diaclone Optimus Prime then known as Battle Convoy (G1 truck with trailer) got upgraded to Powered Convoy (G1 Ultra Magnus).
Basically the Ultra Magnus you know is just a white Optimus Prime with his armor.
