When Transformers 5 was released, you should know the toy designer!

When I was a child, I always thought that Transformers was a Japanese anime.

Later, I heard that it was actually an American anime work.

What kind of identity was clarified later.

It turned out that Takara of Japan was the first to make a shape-changing robot toy.

Later, Hasbro saw business opportunities from it.

And cooperated with Takara to launch the work of Transformers.

Hasbro releases cartoons and Takara mainly makes toys.

Later, DreamWorks made it into a live-action movie.

So it can be said that Transformers have dual citizenship of Japan and the United States.

Who is Takara sacred to?

Takara, founded in 1955, is an old Japanese toy company. In 2006, it merged with another toy giant TOMY to form a new Takara Tomy. Takara has many kinds of toys, and domestic friends began to know Takara, mostly starting with Transformers.

Up to now, transformers toys of Takara Tomy has lost count of the number of models. When buying and collecting them, it is necessary to know a master of the Transformers team-Guo Hong Gao Shi.

Guo Hong Gao Shi is a senior designer of Takara. 1986 started to design transformers toys after joining the Transformers team.

A big difference between transformers and other models and hand-made ones lies in the word "deformation". Just like in cartoons and movies, it can be human, or it can be transformed into a car or other forms.

Physical toys can't ignore the facts like cartoons and movies, and easily and flexibly deform. Restoring the deformation of animation requires more research and design difficulties.

Generally speaking, there are only two forms of transformation in transformers toys, and it is difficult to change three. Especially in the earliest Transformers G 1 era, the imagination was not as rich as it is now, and the Transformers at that time would be quite thin compared with now.

Sixshot

However, it was in the G 1 era that Guo Hong Gao Shi's team designed the Sixshot, which has six deformed forms: human, car, plane, gun, tank and wolf, and each form is not far-fetched. Sixshot can be said to be unprecedented, so far no one has surpassed it.

A few years ago, Takara released a replica of Sixshot with a rare black box, which is very collectible.

Yuanshi county Tianzun

Another classic work by Guo Hong Gao Shi is the U-level Yuanshi Tianzun, and this role is the creator of Tan Xing, Sebo.

The shape of Yuanshi Tianzun is very complicated, and his body is covered with guns. After transformation, he became a sphere armed fortress.

I don't know if it's because the role of Yuanshi Tianzun is relatively unpopular or because it can't be surpassed. The Yuan Shi Tian Zun designed by Guo Hong Gao Shi is the only Yuan Shi Tian Zun version in the transformers toys world at present.

Optimus Prime

Of course, Guo Hong Koshi's most popular toy works are undoubtedly Optimus Prime series toys.

There are many versions of Optimus Prime toys. From now on, the previous generations of Optimus Prime are not very mobile and playable. It was not until the C version of Optimus Prime that it made great progress and became a generation of classics.

The C version of Optimus Prime has a lot of room to move, and the arms, legs and other parts can be rotated at will, and you can pose in any position.

At the same time, the C version of Optimus Prime also has a wealth of parts and weapons to match, whether it is human or car state. So although it is the same Optimus Prime toy, it will have different forms in the hands of different lovers. Or different postures, or different equipment collocation, the playability is extremely high.

Optimus Prime C and Megatron C have become the flagship classics of the C series. Although many years have passed, the C version of Optimus Prime is still the best collection pursued by fans, and the brand-new or well-colored C version of Optimus Prime is already valuable.

Transformers, originally a relatively small group, became popular all over the world after the first live-action movie was released in 2007. As the protagonist of the film, Optimus Prime also ushered in a new version-07L Optimus Prime.

Some friends may say that the image of Optimus Prime 07L is different from that in the movie. In fact, this version of the toy was designed by Guo Hong Gaoshi before the live-action movie, so it will definitely be different from the movie image. However, the shape and texture of the new truck are very consistent.

I believe that many friends really understand Transformers, starting with live-action movies, so 07L Optimus Prime will be more in line with everyone's aesthetics.

In design, 07L Optimus Prime is almost the same as C Optimus Prime, but the effect is still better. 07L Optimus Prime is rich in details, and the tire is made of rubber with sound and light effects.

In 2009, when the Transformed king kong 2 live-action version was released, Guo Hong Koshi also designed 09L Optimus Prime, which has become the most perfect version at present.

Needless to say, from the above photos, we can see that the details of 09L Optimus Prime are exquisite, and the shape and color matching are perfect.

The weapons and parts that Optimus Prime 09L can equip are also more brilliant on the basis of adhering to Optimus Prime 07L. I don't know if you have any impression of the live-action version of Skyfire in king kong 2. That's the great old man.

Skyfire can be combined with Optimus Prime in the movie, and so can toys! Look at the combination of 09L Optimus Prime and 09L Skyfire. Is it awesome?

Generally speaking, although the number of works designed by Guo Hong Gauss is small, almost every generation is a masterpiece that fans can't stop.

Recently, the live-action version of Transformers 5: The Last Knight was released. Friends who like movies, after reading this article, do you fall in love with transformers toys?
