2005 Boards member Heat Guy reports that a Wal Mart in Bartlesville, Ok has received the second wave of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. While they are not for sale yet, this shows that at least some stores will have the second wave for sale on May 30, as was also the case when the first Movie line was released in 2007. The second wave consists of Magna Missile Sideways, Photon Missile Jetfire, Devastation Blast Long Haul and Beam Blast Autobot Ratchet. Each one is shipped two to a case.

In a conference call with IESB.net, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen star Shia LeBeouf reveals a few spoilers about his character's development in the sequel and what those strange symbols he is seeing in the trailer are. The answer is actually hidden in the trailer if you know where to look, this interview confirms the answer (and more importantly, it gives a hint as to what this means, and the overall direction of the movie).

Zhangdaitao of ACToys.net has posted an interesting curiosity - a new bootleg of Transformers Generation 1 Devastator. What makes this one so much more special than all the other bootlegs out there? Well, for one, he has a different head (as frequently happens with unofficial Transformers), and his packaging also features the TFW logo in the bottom right hand corner! That's right, the face of our mascot Boombox is featured on the packaging of this KO! Perhaps the people making it heard that we had recently broken through the 40'000 member milestone and decided to celebrate in their own style?

FansProject will be reissuing their Powered Commander trailer/armor set, compatible with Classics/Henkei Optimus Prime/Convoy figures, for the Japanese market. This time around, it will feature chrome parts, to fit in with the Henkei figure.
Unlike the previous release at TFCON, this will not be limited. It will be available soon. Thanks to 2005 boards member Red Leader of sponsor Kapow Toys for the heads up. |

Be warned, TFW readers, there is a new bootleg Transformer in circulation. The Disney Label Mickey Mouse Transformer by Takara Tomy is the latest toy to be knocked off, as detailed in these images provided by 2005 Boards member GenZhao, and additional images also posted on HK-TF.com (thanks to TM2 D-Bot for pointing us to the link). Fortunately these toys are easy to distinguish from the real deal - they lack the clear plastic windows in vehicle mode and on the visor in robot mode, as well as not having the mini driver pilot figure who rides on the robot head or sits in the truck cab (and who would see him without clear windows anyway?).
Please be wary if you buy this product as it will not have been subject to the same high levels of quality control as an officially released Takara Tomy or Hasbro product. |

A new auction for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Scalpel - aka "The Doctor" - has been listed on Taobao by Easynet. This image shows Scalpel packaged facing forwards, as opposed to sideways like the previous carded sample. Could this be evidence of a running change to make the toy more presentable on the pegs, or was the previous packaged sample just a mock-up of some sort? Whatever the actual reason may be, it is extremely likely with a packaging style mirroring that of all the other Scout Class toys that this version of Scalpel will be the one that will be for sale in a few months time.

The TFcon website has been updated with an official statement regarding the news of a Henkei Commander Set:
We at TFcon wish to extend an apology to any attendees or fans who feel slighted by recent events concerning the release of a Henkei Commander Set. We at TFcon were unaware of any intention of FansProject to release the set (with or without changes), and had been informed that this colour scheme would be exclusive to our convention. We regret that this is not the case, and hope that the actions of FansProject will not reflect poorly on our show, as they are outside of our control. |

TF Club have released finalized images of their TFC-004 Gear of War accessory set for Transformers Classics, Universe and Henkei. The set includes the Autoscout Cassette for Soundwave, three larger shoulder mounted weapons for the likes of Universe Sideswipe or Classics Mirage, a ladder for Inferno (with an optional crane tip, to make a kitbash into Grapple that little bit easier to execute), and an "invisibility cube" for Mirage to represent the effect that surrounded him whenever he turned invisible in Generation 1. You can check out all the images by clicking on the title of this story.

Courtesy of ModXToy, we have scans of the Transformers pages from the June 2009 edition of Dengeki Hobby. These scans show off the Japanese line of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, focusing on the newer characters (and of course Optimus Prime). There are also new images of the Device Label series and Alternity Megatron to admire. Check out our mirror of the images by clicking on the title of this story.

SGCollect have announced that their latest fan-made Transformers venture will be a model kit based on IDW's Drift! Along with a pair of blurry teaser images (attached), their DFT-01 will have the following features:
a. It would stand 5.5 inches tall b. Articulated like a Classic / Henkei figure. c. Cybetronian mode d. has 3 swords e. Would be released in an upcoming convention (i.e collection during convention) and limited in numbers (around/ JULY / AUG 2009) f. articulation - close to henkei articulation. It is going to require some assembly (around the level of a 1/144 Gundam kit) and some limited painting for the best effect. The price tag is roughly equivalent of $100 USD, although please bear in mind, this is much the same as the "garage kits" that have been extremely popular in the anime fandom for years (and sounds to be more reasonably priced and articulated than some garage kits). As always, stay tuned for more news and updates on this piece. |

FansProject has posted a response to the growing controversy over their Japanese release Henkei Powered Commander. You can read the full statement on their website by clicking here. We've also mirrored the statement which you can read by clicking on the title of this story.
FansProject has posted a response to the growing controversy over their Japanese release Henkei Powered Commander. You can read the full statement on their website by clicking here. Alternatively please scroll down for a copy of their release: - In regards of our Japanese Version Commander - We, Fansproject, noticed that a discussion regarding the D.I.A Commander (Japanese Version Commander) have been growing rapidly and negatively on various forums. We are deeply sorry if any fans are upset / disappointed when they see the discussion topic. I hope you could spend the next few minutes to read the following and have a better understanding of the situation. Fansproject is a group of fans who love to play, modify and design our dream toys. We have experienced in designing and manufacturing but not sales and marketing. We love to share our joy and happiness whenever we have some exciting ideas but we could never put these on the hands of general fans at our own power. Therefore, we can never tell if our designs will ever be produced and reach your hands. We have no intention to keep re-coloring our design, particularly our City Commander. In designer’s point of view, we always play around with the colors to see how it looks and therefor always be one or two colors more favorable than the rest. There have been numerous inquires regarding whether the black and the red color scheme of City Commander will be released after people seeing our test shots at last year TFCon. However, we cannot make any promise unless an ordering request is confirmed. We have a mutual agreement, verbally, that there will not be another Powered Commander which is identical to the TFCon Exclusive Version. In order to make this convention item more unique, we have included a briefcase (which is a meaningful accessory explained in the comic) and suggested to have some graphical paint job on the sides of the trailer which, unfortunately, was discarded by TFCon and replaced with a simpler sticker sheet. At the end, there is the Powered Commander trailer with slightly different coloring than our test shots. We produced this Powered Commander by request. If the supply of this item is running short; price of this item raise to double or more in a day; you are not able to get one for yourself, we are deeply sorry but there isn’t much we can do. The best we can do is to hope that there will be a repeat order from the same buyer or there will be a different buyer who is looking for a similar item to relief the high pressure in demand. In this case, an Asia-Pacific wholesaler shows interest on the Powered Commander. We have kept our mutual agreement with TFCon and made the following changes: - Japanese version will have chrome parts to match with other Japanese products - Japanese version will have different color scheme or design We understand all the concern about the coloring of Japanese version. We aim to find a mid tone to match with both US and Japanese version, just in case if a fans wish to use either version armor onto either version op. We don’t release any details of the new color change is because we are still working hard and try to find the best way to shown the difference between TFcon version and Japanese version; especially in truck form which has “Tfcon exclusive” sticker that can be apply on the side of the truck. We wish to give Japan/Asia fans to enjoy a different feel of our D.I.A Commander. To further avoid any conflict between these two versions, the Japan version will not be available to any North American retailer or wholesaler. If any North American retailer or wholesaler orders through Asia dealer, please kindly understand that’s actually something out of our control. In our designers’ point of views, we will be very upset if my D.I.A Commander doesn’t come with the briefcase because it will always be “incompleted”. We could never imagine fans will be disappointed to own a “completed” version of Powered Commander. Again, we are designers and production coordinators, we do not involve in sales and marketing, and retailers asking price is also beyond our control. Some fans have questions us about the mold being destroyed. At the first place, we have to deeply apologize for any mis-leading and unclear explanation we made before. So we are very sorry and hope that we can explain this clearly again. “Mold” means the steel injected mold which we use to produce toys, where “Mold” will be modified all the time but won’t be destroyed because this is part of the company capital. Some Fans ask about whether we will destroy the mold of Tfcon Powered Commander and we say yes; it’s really our fault of getting misunderstanding around this point. What our meaning is actually that we will never produce this Tfcon pc again unless Tfcon request to do so. So, there will never be anymore Tfcon version production to be made after the convention. That was what the misunderstand we made to fans and we really, really feel sorry about this point. Certainly, we all clear about this mutual agreement for this exclusive production’s for Tfcon version and we will never, never break the rule. That’s why we get the compromise from tfcon for a different version pc before we go ahead for that another version. No matter how, this is still our fault of misleading fans about “mold destroying” and we hope this statement is clear enough for everyone. Sadly, some mold do not held their ground and damage during production. Our very first project CJ upgrade kit; which was using resin-casting mold and cannot be kept for a long period of time, and that’s why this project is forever retired. Based on fans reaction from the forums, we had an important lesson and would like to apologize to anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable for owning the TFCon Exclusive Powered Commander. We have to admit that we had a bad coordination this time but some information is just strictly confidential between Fansproject and our buyer that we could never release ahead of time. In the future, we would try to avoid similar request as much as possible; we would have black and white instead of verbal confirmation/agreement; we would have to think more thoroughly from fans point of view before making any confirmation/agreement; we would work harder on our designs; we would work harder to keep up the quality of our products. You have seen some of our new ideas at this year TFCon and there are plenty more on our desks. We are ready and would love to move on to new items. But, as we have always said, we couldn’t tell if these designs will ever become a real product and reach your hands. These are design by fans, and made for fans. If someone believes there are enough support in the market, the design will become a real product. If the supply is running short, then someone has under estimated fans preferences. If we have a promise to keep, we will always do. If majority of fans don’t like it, these will remain on paper at our desks. We have no intention to harm or disappoint anyone and do not wish to start any argument anywhere. We always let our project talk for itself; if a fan like it Thank You, but if you don’t please let us know and we will improve. We are only interested for the love of toys and designing toys. If you have any questions or comment, please let us know. This is the best way for us to learn and improve. |

The TFcon website has been updated with a new statement regarding the news of the Henkei Commander Set:
While we at TFcon were never consulted by FansProject as to offering a deco similar to Powered Commander to others before they started production on their Henkei version, since becoming aware of the situation this week we have contacted FansProject to create a verbal agreement that can satisfy the Asian fans and the businesses that FansProject have already entered into arrangements with, while still protecting the exclusivity of our product and the interests of our attendees. Unfortunately, the original agreement with FansProject in place in regards to our exclusive was not met to the standard we expected, but we wish to thank FansProject for their willingness to alter their plans to try and satisfy the fans across the globe and wish them the best in their future offerings. TFcon is now offering non-attendees a chance to own the Alex Milne TFcon 2009 Universe Divided Lithograph. Please email us for details. |
