Autobot Blanker from Transformers: Victory Finally Gets His Due

Article excerpt

Hasbro is releasing a new line of Transformers: Age of the Primes action figures, including Autobot Blanker from the 1989 series Transformers: Victory, a character who has languished in obscurity for decades. The figure marks a rare moment of recognition for a deep-cut Transformers character who appeared primarily in the Japanese continuity and has seen minimal merchandise since his original release. Collectors have long waited for modern versions of such forgotten roster members, and this new line suggests Hasbro may be mining its entire archive for fan favorites both mainstream and niche.
