We’d like to invite members of CybPh who are planning to go to the Toycon to visit the CybPh booth there.

We will be holding an onsite registration of members (old and new) to Cybertron Philippines. No…we won’t have a laptop there for people to register in the forums. Instead, what you will find is something more….

We’ve set up a model globe of the planet Cybertron in our booth. Members are enjoined to leave their mark on the Cybertron globe, as a symbolic gesture of being part of the group that is Cybertron Philippines.

The Cybertron planet globe will be present in all of our events, welcoming more and more people to become one with CybPh.

The booth is located near the Solar-UIP booth near the stage. There will be an area there where you could hang out with members of CybPh.

The Cybertron globe will be present in both days of the Toycon. So you could drop by anytime after you visit our events at Alabang Town Center in the South and Gateway Mall at Cubao.

Its been six years since we officially started the group… and its always nice to see new faces among us… This year is going to be big… With 2 major movies coming out, namely: Revenge of the Fallen and G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra… We will have a series of activities lined up for this and we hope members, new and “old”, and even friends will participate and join us…

Cheers Kampai

Belated Happy New Year!

Well, better late than never . Its been a few weeks in January and CybPh is already busy planning for the events for 2009.

Its no secret that the Transformers Movie: Revenge of the Fallen will be shown sometime this year, so please keep coming back to our message boards for first hand information and updates. Add to that, there is the G.I. Joe live action movie slated for the second half of the year.

Just like what we did for the first Transformers Movie, CybPh will be launching the Transformers ROTF toys in coorperation with our official partners. We will also launch the G.I. Joe movie toys as well. All these and more can be found in our message boards. There are lots of news, toy reviews, as well as discussions being posted by the members.

We will also update our multiply, facebook, friendster, yahoogroups mailing list, and of course our homepage.

Thank you once again and we look forward to your support

Hey everyone,

Sorry I should have posted this announcement sooner. But it has been pretty toxic here in the office.

As you can see, we’ve made some changes to the forums:

Aside from the Transformers Forums, we’ve expanded the other toy lines into Japanese toys and American toys. Under the Japanese toys we have:
1) Toku Heroes Philippines – where we post everything that is Toku or Japanese sci fi live action
2) Super Robots and Other Mecha
3) Zoids
4) Anime Toys and Other Japanese Toys

Under the American toys category we have:
1) Marvel
2) GI Joe
3) DC
4) Other American toys

We’ve also included checklists for each category, as well as a general toy forum for any discussion that can include either japanese or american toys.

Why have we done this? Well, we’ve noticed that the old setup was limiting the discussions where the toyslines have been evolving (e.g. Revoltech isn’t now limited to robots, Figurearts isn’t limited to Toku, etc). CybPh membership is also growing. We are no longer just a Transformers group. We now have more members who are into Marvel, GI Joe, DC, Anime Toys, etc. We believe this adjustment would be beneficial for the old members and the new (and upcoming) members.

Finally, this setup is also in anticipation of the activities lined up for CybPh starting next year. There is the GI Joe Movie, Wolverine Live Action Movie, and of course, Transformers Movie: Revenge of the Fallen, among others. We’re gearing up for all these events, so its best to be prepared.

Thank you all again for your all out support and rest assured CybPh will be here to provide you firsthand information on toys, movies, and other news, as well as organize group buys, promos, and events for the benefit of its members.

Stay Tuned!

Hi fellow CybPh’ers.

Cybertron Philippines turns 5 today. The spark within us still glows strong! A lot new members, a lot new friends, and a lot of events happened. Year 4 was marked with the historic launch of The Transformers movie which placed the franchise back to glory. The movie toys were sold out everywhere and it became an instant global phenomenon…

This year wont be any different. The momentum created by the fantastic live-action movie will continue to recruit new spark back to Cybertron. Transformers Animated, a 26 episode series has been shown in the US and now we are waiting for the toy release. Transformers Encore is churning out exemplary characters from the G1 days. Transformers Henkei, the Japanese counterpart of TF Classics 1.0, has also started to be released in Japan. TF Classics 2.0 is just around the corner and the recent announcement of resurrecting the Binaltech line clearly shows that TakTomy/Hasbro is supporting the Transformers franchise…

A lot of non-tf related events will also be done by CybPH this year. For starters, the upcoming Iron Man toy launch would mark our continued partnership with Solar-UIP, the motion picture distributor in the Philippines. We are also waiting for the release of HML4 figures. These two we can already inform you. However, there are still other events planned within the year which are still on the drawing board…

To one and all, let your friends know that Cybertron Philippines is here to stay and will continue to bring you high caliber events. We will only get bigger and better.

Happy 5th Birthday, Cybertron Philippines!
and Thank You to each and everyone who has made and is part of Cybertron Philippines!

Visit us on our message boards and our Multiply Site.

Come 1PM of day 1, everyone gathered around the stage area for some fun and games provided by the guys from Cybertron Philippines. Prizes courtesy of our sponsors Solar-UIP, Shangri La Mall, Growee, KidzStation and Powerbooks livened up the event for everyone. Transformers posters, transforming pens, toys, gift certificates, growee and powerbooks giftpacks were enough to populate the fountain area with rabid Transformers fans.

Transforming contests, stop-dance competitions, trivia games, transformers matching games and growee theme song rendition contests ran for four hours during the event, along with the occasional Bring Me that kept everyone on their toes.

Part 2 of our Transformers Cybercon Coverage commences as we pick up from where our Robot-clad friends from Cosplay PH as well as CybPH’s very own award winning cosplayers Brawn and Bumblebee left off. Now we go the display area where 20 large cabinets filled with toys and other collectibles are housed for everyone’s viewing pleasure. What a sight to see.

A more expounded Timelines display has been concocted by the members of Cybertron Philippines to fill up 14 cabinets to their full. From the Diaclones to an elaborate Generation 1, a jungle diorama for Beast Wars and Beast Machines, RID, The Unicron Trilogy, and of course the Movie based toys, every fan of every series was more than contented with what they saw. Binaltechs, Alternators, Masterpieces, Classics and other collectibles provided the tail-end of the cabinets with much flare, while busts, statues, convention exclusives including a prop replica of the Matrix of Leadership added more class. Definitely the biggest display that CybPh has done. But that’s just 14 cabinets…

As with any Filipino Transformers fan, the thought of having our very own TF convention was just a dream, until Cybertron Philippines decided to take on that challenge. I guess the dream has come to a reality, and we are proud to have hosted the Transformers Cybercon 2007 at the Shangri La Mall fountain area last June 23-24, 2007.

[Day 1]
