The Key to Vector Sigma

With the release of the Asian reissue of the Hasbro Masterpiece Optimus Prime, a special premium item was announced to come with it.

The Optimus Prime figure was supposed to come out on the 15th of October. But as of now it is known that it is delayed untill November, although Transformers Asia says the new date is the 24th of October. With that, just recently the special premium item has been revealed. It is Vector Sigma, and its key. From the cartoon episode "the Key to Vector Sigma" part 1 and 2. This is where the Stunticons and Aerialbots get their life sparks.

How its exactly going to look, and how big it will be, for that we have to wait untill the release of Masterpiece Optimus Prime. For now we have to do it with the picture of Vector Sigma. 

Transformers Masterpiece MP-18 Streak

Nowadays there are so many Transformers lines to choose from, so many characters to collect. But up until the Masterpiece line, I was not interested in other lines besides the original G1. Those were the toys and characters I grew up with. The Masterpiece toys changed that for me, and made me want to collect these new High-end Transformers toys. Since the start of The Masterpiece line in 2003, it is known for its engineering, show accuracy and (dis)playability. Something that I always wanted in the original G1 toys.

A small introduction

Welcome to my Gone (or G1) Above and Beyond Blog, people who are familiar with Transformers already should have an idea what I mean with that. This Blog will be about my youth, and then especially the cartoons of my youth. I’m a product of the 80’s, so I grew up with all the amazing cartoons from that era. Transformers, He-Man Masters of the Universe and many more. Thanks to those cartoons, science fiction and fantasy are the genres that trigger and inspire me the most. The worlds that are created, the characters that are shown. They say that the impressions you get at a young age will have the biggest impact on your life and stay with you. They shape your life. So it was a natural step for me to write about it someday.

In the 80’s the only way of getting information about the things you liked was through television, catalogues and what you heard from others. Nowadays thanks to the internet the source of information is almost infinite. What I hope to achieve with this Blog, is to make a selection of the things I like. I want to write about, news, collecting, observations, facts, trivia, mythos, interviews, images, video, audio, and pretty much anything else that comes to mind.

I hope that with my Blog I could reach out to others in time, that would be great. Feel free to visit and comment. I will try to update my Blog on a regular basis.
