Check out below the full professional galleries for two figures that kind of cheat: Takara Transformers Go! Hunter Optimus Prime and its evil twin Nemesis Prime!

ABOUT OUR JUDGES

Hot Topic:It all started in 1988. A ton of teen retail accessory stores filled the malls, but there wasn't a cool music-inspired accessory store for both guys and girls. Then came Hot Topic. As 1990 rolled around, adding apparel seemed like a no-brainer. What better way than to add the ultimate music fan essential - band tees. Imagine how our customers flipped when they were able to get Bauhaus, The Cure, TSOL, and Depeche Mode T-shirts at Hot Topic. Within a year, we had about 50 different band titles, along with rock-inspired clothing lines like Lip Service and Serious. As we expanded, we discovered that customers were equally drawn to the underground cartoon, cult movie, and comic book scenes. It was a unique culture fans could call their own, so we brought the world of South Park, Care Bears, Superman, SpongeBob and tons of other pop icons into our Hot Topic stores.

Seibertron.com: Seibertron.com is the Ultimate Transformers fansite, running since 2001! From an idea by founder and current owner Ryan, the site functions as news resource on all things Transformers, from toys to comics, to merchandise, to movies via cartoons and fan-created features. It is also one of the biggest online communities for fans of the Transformers franchise, spanning across ages, interests, countries and time zones, with over 400,000 unique visitors per month! Seibertron.com is home to the world's largest collection of Transformers toys galleries from the very first iterations in the 80s all the way up to the newest releases. Seibertron.com - Welcome to Your Planet.

Allspark.com: Since 1999, The Allspark has been among the oldest active online Transformers fansites. In the past decade and a half it has been a community hub and go-to site for news and discussion for all eras of Transformers toys, tv, games and comics. Over the last few years fan interests in the site have expanded to other properties ranging from super heroes to My Little Pony and all things sci-fi and geeky. You can find us on the web at http://www.allspark.com

DOs & DON'Ts

1. Don't: Use Transformer or Hasbro logos. When creating your design imagine its part of the Transformers world.

2. Do: Use Decepticon/Autobot logos and any other logs that can be found in the shows!

3. Don't: Submit similar versions of the same design. Sometimes people submit the same design, but with small changes. This will only divide your votes and hurt your chances of winning.

4. Do: Make something original. Research to make sure your idea isn't already out there.

5. Don't use any copyrighted or inappropriate materials.

6. Do: Send art prints! We are now accepting art print submissions, not just tees!

FAQ - To see our full set of Contest FAQ, please click here.

Q: The submission kit is not downloading. I need help!
A: Please email contest@mightyfineinc.com. We should be able to send you one directly.

Q: How many designs can I submit?
A: You may submit up to 5 entries per person

Q: What file format do you accept?
A: All entries must be in one of the following file formats: GIF/PNG/JPG

Q: Is it ok for me to promote my designs to people I know to come and help rate my designs?
A: We encourage every artist submitting to the contest to promote themselves and their designs to friends, family and followers. Through our experience we have found that more ratings help determine what the fans really want as your winners! So please promote yourselves!

Q: It’s been more than 2 business days and I don't see my design on the site. What’s going on with my design?
A: We review every submission we get before they are made live for viewing and rating. We sometimes reject designs for obvious reasons. If you’ve done any of the following don’t even bother asking why your design was rejected.

- Your design has inappropriate materials.
- Your design uses other copy righted material. This means you are using other people’s intellectual property in your design you do not have the right to. NO MASH UPS!!!
- It’s not a design. A direct photograph or a scribble you just drew on a piece of paper is not considered a shirt design.

Q: I see people cheating. What should I do?
A: Please email contest[at]migthyfineinc[dot]com detailing what you are suspecting. More details you can give the better we can make our decision.

Welcome to the latest edition of the Seibertron.com Twincast! This episode features your Host, Counterpunch, along with regular crew Seibertron, the Epic Return of Razorclaw0000, Rotorstorm, and Scotty P.

Episode 85 "Pirates vs. Twincast" is available directly and in our RSS Feed and should appear on iTunes within 24 to 48 hours of this news post.

Read on to find out what we jabber on about in this edition, or just listen in!

We catch up with the cast and find out exactly how much snow everyone is buried under!

That is actually Rotorstorm's driveway. Yes, really.

Then, we start out the actual show with awesome rockin' Listener Questions straight from the Ask the Twincast thread. Your inquiries about Springer's lot in life, sealed packages, what kids like, and more get center stage right at the top of the show.

Age of Extinction news then hits fast and furious, and we start out by taking a look at the Hero Mashers line. Do these look like fun stuff, or just glorified tub toys?

We've also got a first, clear look at the "new" Bumblebee. Are the cast's Camaro Engines revved and ready to sting? Stay tuned, as Counterpunch unexpectedly drops some R/C knowledge on our brains.

Apparently, this Lockdown Car Decepticon Guy has a face, and it's pretty human-like. How does this development sit with our fearless cast? Or is this not a surprise at all?

We then debate the age old question of Pirates vs... Knights?!. We also propose how Stella Botcon can get her their groove back.

We then move on at last to our thoughts on the latest wave of Generations Deluxe figures. From Macro-cons to Seekers, we've got you covered with opinions everywhere.

Time to weapon up, wallflowers! Seibertron himself was lucky enough to already have Generations Voyager Whirl in hand when we recorded, so listen in as he fills us in on what awesome times await the rest of us.

We turn our collective eye of Sauron to the future and ponder what's in store for future Generations waves including Chromia, Arcee, Jhiaxus, and others.

We wrap up our toy talk with in-hand thoughts on the simplified Beast Hunters Voyagers. Pleasant surprise? Crushing disappointment? Both?

Then it's time once again to say goodbye, but before that, some bragging rights are to be had. Who's caught up on what? And what bomb does that loser-face Scotty have to drop on us this time?

That SOB actually built it.

Thanks everyone for listening and we appreciate the continued support!

Not on the show to give your take? Probably not, so don't forget to keep the discussion going on the Seibertron.com Energon Pub Forums!

Got a question for the Twincast? We take all of them, we just don't take them all seriously! Leave a question in the Ask the Twincast thread and, if it makes the cut, it may get read and answered on the show.

Twincast / Podcast Episode #84 "Covenant"

Welcome to the latest edition of the Seibertron.com Twincast! This episode features the triumphant return of The People's Host, Counterpunch, along with regular crew Seibertron and Scotty P, plus our guest for the evening Sabrblade.

Episode 84 "Covenant" is available directly and in our RSS Feed and should appear on iTunes within 24 to 48 hours of this news post.

Here are the awesome fun time topics that the cast discusses in this episode!

The Covenant of Primus has been published at long last. The story of the Thirteen Primes and the definitive history of the Aligned Continuity is here, and mixed opinions abound. Are we into this, or just getting dragged along for the read? Listen in and find out!

Like it or not, movie toys are upon us. We discuss some of the recent leaks such as Dinobot packaging mockups and intriguing size class names.

We then wrap up our talk of Age of Extinction with some cryptic talk of our "first" look at Drift!

As we move on to toys we discuss the very cool Kid's Logic Optimus Prime that Seibertron.com has an exclusive first look at. Seibertron himself breaks down what to expect out of this toy while the rest of us debate the price point while looking on.

The first look at MP Wheeljack is also upon us. Well, the first silhouette was out when we recorded this and nothing else, so we at least talked about that. At the same time we discuss this little matter of the designer change and whether or not this really matters.

We finish up our toy chat talking about scale, particularly how the new Simplified Predaking busts up other Voyagers. Find out if we'll be adding this beast to our collections.

Our discussion then moves to... Pirates? Yep, in the worst kept secret ever, we now know when and where Botcon 2014 will be held and also part of the theme. Listen up as we decide whether or not to throw this idea overboard or let it into the captain's quarters.

Speaking of conventions, there's another one about to hit the US, right in Seibertron's backyard. We're talking of course about TF Con USA. We lace up our skates and say sorry for this topic in advance over some Kraft dinner, eh? Oh wait, this is the American TF Con. Woopsie there.

We end up with time for one good Listener Question and as usual, the answer will completely not disappoint.

At last we conclude with some Bragging Rights. Early '00s G1 recolors reign supreme as we discuss awesome deals, awesome stores, and some milestones as well.

Adding to our expansive galleries, Seibertron.com presents Takara's answer to Hasbro's IDW-inspired Generations Bumblebee, Generations Bumblebee Goldbug! Despite the figure's name, Bumblebee Goldbug does not share the same head sculpt that Hasbro's Goldfire (an homage to Generation One Bumblebee's upgraded form, Goldbug), rather using a nigh-identical deco with the exception of the head, weapon(s), and forearms. Check out the suped-up Autobot scout below!

Hot on the heels of last night's Transformers: Age of Extinction Super Bowl teaser trailer, Seibertron.com is pleased to present the first figure in the new movie line, First Edition Optimus Prime! While remaining for the most part unchanged during the duration of the previous three live action films, Optimus Prime will undergo a radical overhaul at some point during Age of Extinction, shedding his Peterbuilt 379 vehicle mode and upgrading to a customized Western Star. Likewise his robot mode will see some significant alterations. Being an Amazon exclusive, this figure features a ton of chrome and comes in special collectors style packaging. We've compared the figure to multiple other Primes to convey it's size and scale. Without further ado we give you Transformers: Age of Extinction First Edition Optimus Prime!
