Keeping up with the TakaraTomy Animated releases, Genzhao now brings us Voyager class Starscream. This release looses somewhat in show accurateness by having a deeper blue tone on his cockpit and wings. Some of it, alongside the red, now how the expected metallic finish of other Japanese Animated releases we have previously seen.

Strika's consort and the master of the Punch of Kill Everything, shows his optic in TakaraTomy's Animated lineup. Genzhao gives us a gallery comparing this version of Lugnut with his previous Hasbro release. Apart from a more metallic luster on the purple and a different sigil, not much has changed between both and under some lights the colors are indistinguishable.

Now it's everyones favorite Animated Dinobot Commander who has fallen on Genzhao's hands. TakaraTomy's Grimlock rejects the Animated figures color scheme and instead goes for a more Generation 1 inspired hues. The tones are noticeably brighter, especially when placed next to the original Hasbro release.

3 News has posted a small writeup on Transformers War for Cybertron. Included in their article direct from Activision is information on the War for Cybertron multiplayer mode - including confirmation that there will be some level of character creation in multiplayer!
Complete with several multiplayer modes, Transformers: War for Cybertron allows gamers to play through story missions with their friends in drop in / drop out online co-op, and also create their own Transformers character for competitive head-to-head multiplayer modes, choosing among four distinct character classes, personalising its look and selecting from a huge variety of weapons, skills and abilities. It is not yet confirmed exactly how extensive this character creation will be, however this is extremely encouraging for every Transformers fan who has ever wanted to create their own character to join the epic battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons. |

SciFi Wire has posted an article that features an interview with Scott Benza and Scott Ferrar from Industrial Light & Magic (ILM). Within the interview, the two supervisors from the first two Transformers films talk about the third film. Scott Benza confirms that Optimus Prime and Bumblebee's robot modes will receive subtle changes. They believe that Bumblebee has matured through the first two films and will receive an update to make his physique look more mature, while Optimus Prime's update will make him look more heroic.
Elsewhere in the interview, Scott Ferrar mentions that they have an outline of the movie in hand and that the script is mostly done. The ILM art department is currently working on turning 2-D work into the 3-D characters. |

Hasbro has altered packaging and part of the included items for their Transformers RPM Remote Control line. The remote control Bumblebee is now shipping in a new, longer package that features the vehicle angeled almost horizontal next to the remote control. The remote control is redesigned, no longer featuring molded robot mode bits but rather just an image of the character in the middle of the remote. The Bumblebee vehicle is slightly changed as well, with the Autobot insignia on the hood removed in favor of a small N.E.S.T logo on the side of the vehicle.
The bottom and back of the packaging all reveals our first look at the upcoming RPM remote control Barricade, which the box confirms as coming in Spring 2010! |

2005 Boards member Jason Blue Boost found an interesting item at Costco today - a 54" long Movie series Bumblebee kite. The kite is in the shape and design of Bumblebee's robot mode and amongst other things features ripstop fabric, a fibreglass airframe and spintails. It retails for $12.50.

The Transformers Collector's Club has updated with a new image of their exclusive Shattered Glass Cyclonus. Shattered Glass Cyclonus will be available for preorder shortly (awaiting confirmation of the shipping schedule from the supplier) so stay tuned for your chance to preorder this toy and also the highly anticipated Punch / Counterpunch.
On the subject of Punch / Counterpunch, mainly speculated with the toy's dual faction transformation if he might also feature remolded hands to better fit the fact that the torso twists around during the transformation - unfortunately, an interview between Seibertron and Pete Sinclair have confirmed that this will not be the case, because a decision was instead taken to focus all the available budget on the best head sculpt / remold possible. Do you think this is a worthwhile tradeoff? Sound off on our 2005 Boards by clicking the discuss button. Also be sure to check out the interview linked above to see a new member of the Elite Guard from the Collector's Club comics - Overrun, based on Energon Bulkhead's toy. Unfortunately though, he is not a candidate for a future exclusive release. |

The latest edition of TV Magazine (aka Terebi-Kun or TV Boy) in Japan has been released, with a bonus DVD containing further information on the Japanese release of Transformers Animated. The DVD takes the form of an introductory tale told by Optimus Prime, introducing the main characters. Of particular interest are some pieces of information from Masahiko Yamazaki, a marketing officer working for Takara Tomy relating to the series:
- Since Optimus Prime is not the Supreme Commander of the Autobots in Transformers Animated, the series is set chronologically before the live action movies. - Ironhide (Bulkhead in the US Animated) will share a world view with his Movie universe counterpart, with the name change being primarily to connect the Movie series with the Japanese release of Animated. His motto reads something like "I aim to be a weapons specialist, but more unique". - Episode order will be changed to push the episodes featuring well-known characters forward. Additionally, in an interview with Figure King, Masahiko Yamazaki makes a comment that: "It might be possible to release the products canceled by Hasbro to the Japanese market." Does this mean that Transformers Animated toys such as Rodimus and Wing Blade Optimus Prime, previously intended for a US release but as yet still stuck in limbo, will be joining the Japanese Transformers Animated line alongside the already announced Blackout? I would like to extend a big thanks to 2005 Boards member Masabon and 2005 Staff member SydneyY for posting this information and translations for us. |

Takara Tomy have updated their website with a selection of Transformers Animated pages! They have opened a section for the toys, which covers the first eleven releases in the Japanese line - Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Prowl, Ironhide (Bulkhead), Ratchet, Cliffjumper, Megatron, Starscream, Blackarachnia, Lockdown and Dirge. They have also opened a section covering the cartoon characters, although presently only pages for the five Autobots are available. The five Autobot's pages include full tech specs, which were absent from their US releases.

Amazon.com has added three new entries for various Transformers Animated books. The first is the previously announced and listed Allspark Almanac Volume II, which has been updated with the cover art! True to the style of the first volume, the second volume's cover brings together many fun elements of the series, showing Bumblebee, Sari and Wreck-Gar playing with various other Transformers Animated toys!
Also listed on Amazon are a Transformers Animated Omnibus, which sounds as though it is a collected edition of the previous series adaptation graphic novels, and a new entry for Transformers Animated: The Adventure Continues! Volume 1. Could this new entry be the long rumored and much-desired print continuation of Transformers Animated? |

Mudflap is joined in the case for this new assortment with a repack of the ever-popular Human Alliance Bumblebee.

Brimstone is a Decepticon motorcycle (based on the one Mikaela was airbrushing in her first scene in Revenge of the Fallen), while Hubcap is a vintage Ford Model T (which was also briefly seen during Revenge of the Fallen). Check out the new images of both by clicking on the title of this story, and for more images, click the links above to visit their entries in our Resources section!
