Ho boy! On top of the pictures we found in our Previous Story it would seem that there was even more hidden within the RID App than previously thought and the good people at Autobase Aichi managed to find! While we don't know if all of these will make it to the shelves, if they are planned toys at all, or just something fun for the app, but some may be given their classifications.. In addition it seems as though they may have found the Alt Mode to Megatronus! Check out the pictures and the listings after the jump!

The Thai Energon group on Facebook has shared some images from the Thailand Toy Expo 2015. On hand in test shot form are two upcoming 3rd party offerings from 3rd party group, Maketoys. First up on hand is Guardia, aka Maketoys' version of G1 Defensor. Shown here in various colors of test plastic, the project seems far along and hopefully a window for preorders will open up soon. Also on hand is RM-01 Cupola, which will be Maketoys' first opening salvo into the world of unofficial Masterpiece Transformers. Cupola is a homage to G1 Headmaster Chromedome and he's looking fantastic thus far.
You can check out the pictures and discuss Guardia in the ongoing discussion thread here. Or, to follow along with the new images of Cupola, hit the title bar. |

More news from the Thailand Toy Expo 2015 courtesy of Grave on Weibo, as third party group GCreations has revealed a color prototype of their upcoming second release in their "Shura King" Unofficial combining Dinobot series, Growl (aka Snarl!). The images here show Growl in dino mode, robot mode and in combiner leg mode. By all indications, this combiner is looking to be quite massive. There are also comparison pics with GCreations first release, Thunderous.
Check them out after the jump! |

The Combiner Wars are getting hot and today we have an in-hand look at one of the fans most requested - Stunticon Brake-Neck. Wait, what? G1 fans may know him as Wildrider!
When Menasor was first shown off in his otherwise G1 looking self, fans immediately said they wanted the original core team. Well, Hasbro listened and they're putting out Brake-Neck (Wildrider) and Quickslinger (Slingshot) from the Aerialbots. He will be released along with Quickslinger on May 22nd at select online retailers (see the list after the break). This will be part of Hasbro's Transformers May Mayhem campaign, which sees a slew of Transformers related promotions throughout the month of May. A full list of May Mayhem events are also listed after the break. Hasbro was kind enough to send out a copy a little early for us to run through the motions with, so check out over 50 shots of him in action with his Stunticon brothers after the break! |

The early looks at the Combiner Wars online retailer offerings of Brake-Neck and Slingshot, um, Quickslinger continue! Don't be fooled by the name, Quickslinger is a repaint with new head sculpt giving G1 fans their Slingshot and a proper 5 man Aerialbot team.
Superion, like Menasor, was initially shown with a new 5th member to the team and the fans called for the OG guys to return. Well they have, and Quickslinger will join his brothers later this month. He will be released along with Brake-Neck on May 22nd at select online retailers (see the list after the break). This will be part of Hasbro's Transformers May Mayhem campaign, which sees a slew of Transformers related promotions throughout the month of May. A full list of May Mayhem events are also listed after the break. Hasbro was kind enough to send out a copy a little early for us to run through the motions with, so check out over 70 shots of him in action with his Aerialbot brothers after the break! |

IDW artist Andrew Griffith has just posted on his Tumblr some concept art for the cockpit on the upcoming, highly-anticipated Leader Class Ultra Magnus, which the smaller Minimus Ambus figure can of course sit in. Andrew also gives a brief writeup summarizing the design process:
"So a while back I got to work a bit on an upcoming Leader class toy version of Ultra Magnus from IDW’s More Than Meets The Eye. http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-...images-182107/ Since the toy has been revealed, I got permission from Hasbro to show off some of my art for it. Just to be clear, the overall design of the toy was already done, based heavily on Nick Roche’s design for the book. What I was asked to do was to sketch up what the interior cockpit could look like within the confines of the space they had available for it. I worked with Hasbro to develop it, and they sent my art along to Takara-Tomy to use for the sculpt for the final product. The cockpit for Minimus Ambus inside Ultra Magnus functions a bit different than James Roberts and Alex Milne worked out for MTMTE, but personally I think it’s pretty cool that Hasbro took inspiration from the comics and even went to the trouble of using the concept of Minimus “driving” Ambus at all to be pretty darn cool. I was thrilled to work on this particular project." Let us know your thoughts after the jump! |

A new Transformers Battle Tactics event is now live!
The voracious and deadly Insecticons have entered the fray, fray... This news comes to us from board member BattleUpSaber, who also reports that unlike Shrapnel and Bombshell, Kickback appears to be based on his G1 incarnation, rather than being a hint at any possible upcoming Generations figure.

For all you transformers fans in the United Kingdom looking for wave 2 of Combiner Wars figures, it appears they have been sighted at a Toys R US around Sevenoaks. Unfortunately, it looks like this version does not include the pack-in comic we have seen thus far. Nonetheless, the figures are out there in the wild now, so happy hunting!
Check out the sighting after the jump |

TFW2005 boards member daimchoc has brought us an exciting announcement this morning - it appears 3rd party company SXS-Toys will be bringing us an unofficial Rodimus figure based on his design in IDW's More than Meets the Eye series - something many fans have been clamoring for. It will be dubbed "SXS-Toys The Robots Series of R-04 Hot Flame".
Unfortunately, at the moment the only look at it we have is a silhouette image, but keep checking back for more updates! |

We have some new pics of X-Transbots MX-III Eligos, a Masterpiece-style Cyclonus. These come to you thanks to fellow board member, Cheem The Rup, who spotted them on the X-Transbots Facebook page. Eligos is a very sweet and sleek looking spacecraft and looks to scale very nicely with the MX-II Andras (Scourge). Interesting note, Eligos is also the name of a demon:
Also known as the "Great Duke of Hades", Eligos is a highly respected demon due to his deep knowledge of warfare. In modern military terms he is a high-ranking General who not only understands the subtle strategies of warfare, but also has the ability to foresee an enemy's position and tactics ahead of the battle itself. What are your thought on Eligos? Check out the pics and discuss after the jump! |

We like to throw the spotlight on non-transformers things from time to time, and today, we would like to draw your attention to what the voice of Generation 1 Bumblebee (and the Spider-Man of the 1980s cartoons), Dan Gilvezan, has been up to. Dan has recently published a new novel called Soul - a story about a man whose soul was swapped with another in a near-death experience, and now must solve the mystery of why every woman on Earth is becoming infertile.
Check it out on Amazon! |

TFW2005 boards member daimchoc has brought us a good look at 3rd party company Megasteel's upcoming Granville figure, an unofficial take on the Stormbringer Megatron design as originally drawn by fan-favorite Transformers artist Don Figueroa. Granville is roughly Voyager-sized, and should be releasing shortly. These images show off both his robot mode and tank mode.

The Tagoal blog has updated with some in-hand images of Transformers Adventure Ultra Magnus. Adventure Ultra Magnus is the first Japanese release of this toy which the rest of the world got as a part of the Beast Hunters series. It features a deco more closely inspired by Ultra Magnus' appearance on the show, with a darker shade of blue and some extra gold paint on the Forge of Solus. Check out a selection of images, including some comparisons, attached to this post.

TAG Hobby has posted some side-by-side comparison pictures of the upcoming TakaraTomy MP-25 Tracks and MP-26 Road Rage.
These pictures highlight the changes made to the Tracks mold to create the female character Road Rage. You can do a direct comparison between the two figures to see: -slimmer, more rounded hips/pelvis -streamlined thighs -redesigned biceps to add more detail -new face and head -new collarbone/upper chest??? She also comes with the G1 toy-accurate gun that originally came with Tracks. Takara has gone to a lot of effort and utilized some fairly significant retooling to create a new character that holds the distinction of being the first (hopefully of many) female Masterpiece figure. Sound off in the discussion thread to let us know what you think about the differences between the two molds or if you see anything I've missed. |

Thanks to Autobase Aichi on Facebook, we have photos of the DECKS x QTF event at DECKS Tokyo Beach. We get a glimpse of QTransformers merchandise being offered, including keychains, pins, T Shirts, as well as themed dipping dots ice cream beverages including Bumblebee Mango, Optimus Prime Blue, and Lockdown Berry, served with their respective coasters.
The Q-Transformers figures are also on display, including the Convoy and Megatron that was just released. An oversize QTF Bumblebee, along with a G1 Optimus Statue were also seen on site too. If you're in Japan, or plan on traveling in Tokyo before May 17th, definitely worth a trip to visit. Check out the images after the jump! |

Few days ago we reported the new update (version 1.2) for the Transformers: Robots In Disguise mobile game. We then took our time to analyze what this update is bringing us. To our surprise, the game update contains quite a lot of new content. It seems as though the new app update for Transformers: Robots In Disguise is more than meets the eye, so we decided to dig into the new update to see what the game has to offer.
With the update, we have received further confirmation of several upcoming sublines for RID. Not only that, a new game mode is also included, with Hasbro telling us what a future update will bring us as well. You can find out all that and more, after the jump. |

A robot based on this design appears in IDW Publishing's comic More Than Meets The Eye # 39: The Permanent Revolution. What do you think of this design? Feel free to let us know on the boards! |
