Madblender
Madblender is a fictional character made by TFClub in 2012 as a third party Transformer. He is an homage to the Transformers Constructicon Mixmaster. Reprolabels created a set of labels for this toy that makes it look more like the original Mixmaster
Transformers
Madblender is a third party Transformer and an homage to the Constructicon Mixmaster. He combines with the other toys in his line to form Hercules, an homage to Devastator. He was the sixth member of the set released.[1]
Other third party homages to Mixmaster include Maketoys Mixer.
Development
The project that would become Hercules was first teased as EX-004 with an outline picture in October of 2009.[2]
In March of 2012 a poll was held on behalf of TFClub on the TFW2005 forums asking what the recolor of Hercules should be. The winner was "Shattered Glass".[3]
Promotional photos for TFClub Photron depicted it with Hegemon and Madblender.
In August of 2012, TFClub displayed the first example of a Shattered Glass inspired Hercules recolor called Perses.[4]
