Goldminer is a fictional character and third-party Transformer homage to Generation 1 Landmine and Lander made by Play With This Too.

Play With This Too

Goldminer is a fictional character created by Play With This Too as part of their Lost Protectors series.

Development

Goldminer was designed by Rik Alvarez and Mark Wong.

Art for Goldminer was first revealed at Rhode Island Comic Con. 2014.

Ankhor, Astroblast and Goldminer were initially announced to be stretch goals in the Lost Protectors Kickstarter, but they did not end up being among those goals when the campaign was launched.

Reception

The Repacked Podcast podcast for October 28th, 2014 discussed Aaron Archer and Simon Furman joining Play With This Too as well as the toys of Goldminer and Jetwash in the news. One host loved the designs, but another worried that Hasbro would not allow them to go forward with the Kickstarter.[1]

The Cybercast podcast for November 1st, 2014 talked about Bloodbath, Flarestrike and Goldminer in the news.[2]

Fictional biography

Goldminer wears a living Aegis battle suit powered by the primal forces of the universe. It grants him enhanced strength, durability and longevity, as well as having numerous weapons. He has a Tech Drone companion named R-Tool.

According to the biography for Skull-F, when Bloodbath first sought aid from the shadowy realm known as the Null Miasma, he first sought an ally he could control, a mid-level demon of war and savagery. Thanks to Goldminer's interference, the demon's very essence was inverted, and what was pulled through was a lovable, well-meaning creature rather than a slathering engine of destruction.
