It looks like a Chinese toy manufacturer has fused the lives of Thomas The Tank Engine (and his friends) with the 5 lions from the Voltron force and created this odd Thomas The Tank Engine Voltron toy. [via]
The 3 tank engines split into 5 parts and create the head, body, arms and legs of the robot just like Voltron (albeit a bit sillier looking).
Anyway, a Japanese individual has gotten his hands on this toy set and has graciously posted many photos for us to look at (translated page here).

This is like my worst nightmare…and this kid thinks it’s fun!
Tom Buchanan of Australia laid in a clear perspex box and had 125 Golden Orb Spiders put onto his body for 55 seconds during the ‘Australia: Guinness World Records’ TV show in Sydney, New South Wales on 27 August 2005. GROSS.

Flickr user frenzy rumble has a very cool set of images he created of custom Transformers (like the Megatron tank above). His artwork is unlike any other fan that I’ve seen and it definitely deserves some recognition.
He’s also an avid action figure collector and you can see some photos of his collection on his Flickr as well.

I’ve seen a slow-motion video of a ballistic round being fired from a tank, but nothing compares to this photograph of a tank firing a projectile from the Israel-Gaza border on January 4, 2009. Look at those flames coming out from the end of that gun. Scary! [via]
