Rumors are pouring about the "Megan Fox Incident" and more names are appearing as to who will replace Megan.
According to The Sun, Fox's dramatic weight loss raised alarm bells with Michael Bay as the 45-year old felt that Megan looked 'unhealthy' and wanted her to gain weight if she wanted to reprise her role as Mikaela Banes in the third installment. There are no facts to prove how truthful this news is and the world is anxiously waiting till Mr. Bay makes an official statement. Meanwhile, GeekWeek has learned from an inside source that Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley will soon be cast to replace Megan Fox in TRANSFORMERS 3. Details surrounding her character are still pending. What do you think of all these developments? Will it hurt the 3rd movie? Debate by hitting the Discuss Button. |

Updating with a brief message, Hasbro began the “Hunt For The Decepticons” campaign. Just like the “N.E.S.T Global Alliance” campaign, this campaign too has a plotline to follow.
SPOILER: Official description of the “Transformers: Hunt For The Decepticons” plot... The AUTOBOTS have formed a secret alliance with humans to protect Earth from the DECEPTICON threat. Some troubling signs indicate that the DECEPTICONS are preparing to strike: Several meteors have breached the atmosphere and seem to be aiming for different parts of the globe. The AUTOBOTS have also picked up increased communication signals from SOUNDWAVE but are unable to break the CYBERTRON-encrypted code. Strange reports have appeared in various media. Among others a TV news report showed an unusual white muscle car in the northern jungle parts of Thailand heading toward China. Sensing trouble, OPTIMUS PRIME keeps the AUTOBOTS on the highest alert. Check back in early June to see how you can help the AUTOBOTS! With it, the month of June is marked as the beginning of the Hunt For The Decepticons campaign by Hasbro. |

A few days ago it was revealed to the world that Megaon Fox will not be returning for Transformers 3. Some of you wept tears of sorrow, others of you rejoiced, and somewhere, Michael Bay set off an explosion.
And while that explosive news was pretty big, we're interested in the ripple effect - namely, what are YOUR thoughts on this rather large bit of news and information regarding Megan Fox and her depature from the movie franchise that arguably created her career (cuz let's face it, dating that guy from Beverly Hills 90210 just wasn't going to cut it long-term). So TFW2005 is holding a Sound Off! ... meaning, we want you to vote in our online poll and post your thoughts and reasons behind your decision - whether or not the loss of Megan Fox is going to hurt the movie, or help the movie. For those of you who are undecisive, we've included the "Undecided" option. So, head on over to our poll, vote, and leave your comments! In a future update we'll come back to this topic and share some of YOUR thoughts right here for the world to see. To take part in our poll and discussion, you must be a registered user of TFW2005. Not a member? Take the time to register today! |

We have received more information on Hasbro's upcoming Transformers "Hunt for the Decepticons" initiative! Specially marked Transformers packages will include an instructions slip with a 14 diget code. These codes can be entered at Transformers.com's Hunt for the Decepticons page to complete special online "Decepticon Missions". You'll need three different codes in order to complete three Decepticon Missions in order to unlock the special "Autobot Alliance Training Facility" content on the website. The promotion is scheduled to last through until January 31, 2011 - does this mean we will see a new toy line, possibly for Transformers: Prime, take up the reins of the main line from February 2011 onwards?
What is the Autobot Alliance Training Facility, and what will the Decepticon Missions involve? You'll be able to find out in June when the Hunt for the Decepticons website goes live at Transformers.com. In the meantime, click on the title of this story to check out a scan of one of the special Hunt for the Decepticons instruction slips. |

Our dear friend S250 dropped by our forums early this morning to give us a fair warning - knock-off toys are coming! And they're coming in the form of TakaraTomy Henkei Skywarp action figures!
As you can see in our attached image, it's tough at first glance to determine the difference between an actual figure and the knock-off figure. Until a clear image or comparison image shows up, it's buyer beware time. Apparently these figures are hitting China en-masse, and will most likely be found on your favorite auction sites within this next week. Depending on your stance on the whole knock-off toy thing, this is either great news or this is really souring news. Either way, stick to TFW2005 for more information and how to distinguish your real Skywarp from your fake Skywarp! |

2005 Boards member Tengu has shared with us a translation of the bio for Takara-Tomy's release of Transformers Animated Blackout. The bio for this character, whose toy has yet to be released in the US and has not yet been seen in English packaging, references both his Animated self and his live-action Movie continuity version. This version of Blackout is an agent tasked with infiltrating and disrupting communications on target worlds to pave the way for a Decepticon invasion force:
Blackout is the biggest of all soldiers in the Decepticon army. His mission is of critical importance. First, he’ll secretly infiltrate a target planet. After the opponent’s communications capabilities have been paralyzed and the enemy is in chaos, a full-blown invasion will begin. Up against him, mechanical bodies are nothing more than a burden! |

2005 Boards member griffin-of-oz has shared with us a selection of images of the first wave of Transformers Power Core Combiners, demonstrating their Power Core Combination modes. You can check out these images to see how Huffer, Smolder and Searchlight look when transformed into a torso section for use with the drone limbs included with Skyburst and Bombshock. You can also check out Griffin's impressions on which combination looks the best, and decide if you agree or not looking at the images he has provided of all the main combinations.

2005 boards member Masabon has picked up the Japanese version of Grimlock by TakaraTomy from Transformers Animated. Not only that, but he has posted new images of this figure, and a translation of his bio and stats!
BIO: GRIMLOCK Function:DINOBOT LEADER
WEAPONS: The small sword of a black sword can emit flames! The fire-breathing Grimlock is the perfect weapon! FEATURES: The huge fangs in dinosaur mode provide some of the primary weapons for Grimlock. These fangs are in the mouth of the dinosaur and a switch opens and closes the mouth to reproduce a fang crunching action! CHARACTER: The character called GRIMLOCK 1st appears in Transformers broadcast in 1985. Back then he transformed into a Tyrannosaurus Rex. It's one of the ways to enjoy TRANSFORMERS to follow the history of the character with the same name. Thanks to Masabon for the translation! Hit the title bar to see the new images! |

Hasbro released the official data of the Power Core Combiners, just moments ago. After a brief description, Hasbro updated their product pages with info and images (even the packaging too) of each Power Core Combiner unit.
Description is as follows… Expanding upon the essence of DEVASTATOR — a robot built by combining multiple construction vehicles — the TRANSFORMERS brand unveils the new POWER CORE COMBINERS expression that redefines the magic of combination play. The toys deliver an interchangeable system of robots, vehicles and weapons that escalates the level of fun and increases the number of robots within a child’s TRANSFORMERS toy universe. The TRANSFORMERS POWER CORE COMBINERS introduce fans to an all-new assortment of figures that expand on the classic play pattern of the popular “ROBOTS IN DISGUISE.” This new expression of figures combine with one another, in dozens of variations, to create a wide variety of larger COMBINER robots, with each figure serving as various body parts and weapons. Available in 2-packs and 5-packs. TRANSFORMERS POWER CORE COMBINERS 2-Pack The TRANSFORMERS POWER CORE COMBINERS 2-Pack includes one SCOUT scale TRANSFORMERS figure and one MINI-CON scale figure. The SCOUT scale figure features a ‘robot’ mode and a ‘vehicle’ mode. The MINI-CON scale figure has four modes: ‘robot’ mode, robot weapon, vehicle weapon and Power-up Armor for combining with the central SCOUT scale figure in both robot and vehicle mode. 2-Pack figures are interchangeable with 5-Pack figures. TRANSFORMERS POWER CORE COMBINERS 5-Pack The TRANSFORMERS POWER CORE COMBINERS 5-Pack features teams of TRANSFORMERS characters that can combine together to form one large TRANSFORMERS figure. Each team consists of one SCOUT scale figure and four LEGENDS scale vehicles. The SCOUT scale figure features one ‘vehicle’ mode and two ‘robot’ modes and each of the LEGENDS scale vehicles can plug into the specially marked ports on the central SCOUT scale figure to instantaneously convert into an arm or leg using auto-conversion technology. All figures can be swapped out with one another to form multiple different combinations and new figures. 5-Pack figures are interchangeable with 2-Pack figures.

TRANSFORMERS POWER CORE COMBINERS: BOMBSHOCK with COMBATICONS Stolen by DECEPTICON spies, Power Core Combination gives the evil robots a powerful edge. Those who have the power of combination are a dangerous threat to the AUTOBOTS and Earth! BOMBSHOCK was once a member of the most elite unit in the Cybertronian military. He betrayed his comrades, and his reward was to become commander of a powerful DECEPTICON Power Core team. Even alone, each of his drones has as much firepower as the average AUTOBOT. Together, they are nearly unstoppable. Power up for the ultimate robot battles! Your BOMBSHOCK Commander vehicle is already a virtually unstoppable opponent in his vehicle and robot modes. But his strength gets increased five-fold when you convert him to Power-Up mode and convert his COMBATICON drone figures into his limbs! And the action doesn’t stop there. With this Power Core interchangeable robot combination system, MINI-CONS (sold separately) and drone vehicles can attach to power up any Commander figure. Collect more packs and you can create tons of unique and fierce robot battler figure combinations! Five-pack includes BOMBSHOCK, Missile Carrier Drone, Tank Drone, APC Drone and Armored Care Drone figures. TRANSFORMERS POWER CORE COMBINERS: SKYBURST with AERIALBOTS Thought lost long ago, Power Core Combination has recently been rediscovered on Earth. It creates a new breed of powerful AUTOBOT warriors to destroy the DECEPTICONS! To be given command of one of the first AUTOBOT Power Core teams is a great honor – one that SKYBURST isn’t sure he deserves. He uses his enhanced abilities to execute search and rescue operations in conditions too dangerous for human crews – or even other AUTOBOTS. Together with his drone companions, SKYBURST protects the skies from the DECEPTICON threat. Power up for the ultimate robot battles! Your SKYBURST Commander vehicle is already a virtually unstoppable opponent in his vehicle and robot modes. But his strength gets increased five-fold when you convert him to Power-Up mode and convert his AERIALBOT drone figures into his limbs! And the action doesn’t stop there. With this Power Core interchangeable robot combination system, MINI-CONS (sold separately) and drone vehicles can attach to power up any Commander figure. Collect more packs and you can create tons of unique and fierce robot battler figure combinations! Five-pack includes SKYBURST, Recon Plane Drone, Chopper Drone, Combat Helicopter Drone and Fighter Jet Drone figures. TRANSFORMERS POWER CORE COMBINERS: SEARCHLIGHT with BACKWIND SEARCHLIGHT is the most skilled search and rescue operative the AUTOBOTS have. His combination with BACKWIND makes him able to operate at full effectiveness for even longer, making him invaluable in recovery operations. Power up for the ultimate robot battles! Your SEARCHLIGHT figure is already a virtually unstoppable opponent in his vehicle and robot modes. But his strength gets doubled when you factor in your BACKWIND figure and his four modes! Convert this MINI-CON ally figure to weapon accessories for him when he’s in rescue helicopter vehicle mode or Commander mode. Then, convert your BACKWIND figure into an armor accessory for your SEARCHLIGHT figure’s Power Up Mode! And the action doesn’t stop there. With this Power Core interchangeable robot combination system, MINI-CONS and drone vehicles (sold separately) can attach to power up any Commander figure.

BACKWIND figure converts from robot to weapon accessory for SEARCHLIGHT figure vehicle mode, weapon accessory for SEARCHLIGHT figure robot mode and armor accessory for SEARCHLIGHT figure Power-Up mode. TRANSFORMERS POWER CORE COMBINERS: SMOLDER with CHOPSTER No one holds a grudge like SMOLDER. He plots elaborate revenge against his hundreds of enemies, and thanks to his combination with CHOPSTER, he’s got the power to see each of them through. Power up for the ultimate robot battles! Your SMOLDER figure is already a virtually unstoppable opponent in his vehicle and robot modes. But his strength gets doubled when you factor in your CHOPSTER figure and his four modes! Convert this MINI-CON ally figure to weapon accessories for him when he’s in fire truck vehicle mode or Commander mode. Then, convert your CHOPSTER figure into an armor accessory for your SMOLDER figure’s Power Up Mode! And the action doesn’t stop there.

TRANSFORMERS POWER CORE COMBINERS: HUFFER with CALIBURST With CALIBURST by his side, HUFFER is just as inclined to grumble as he’s ever been, but he’s also faster, stronger, and smarter, which means the DECEPTICONS have a lot more to complain about than he does. Power up for the ultimate robot battles! Your HUFFER figure is already a virtually unstoppable opponent in his vehicle and robot modes. But his strength gets doubled when you factor in your CALIBURST figure and his four modes! Convert this MINI-CON ally figure to weapon accessories for him when he’s in truck vehicle mode or Commander mode.

The wait is almost over for the highly anticipated TRNS-01 (Transitional Robot Neural Soldier) figure by Impossible Toys. Expect pre-orders for this figure to go online in the near future. This is the toy that the remolded TFcon Night-bird is based off of.
And check out the figure along side G1 and Universe toys in the video below with an appearance from a Paradron Medic variant! |

TFW2005 is proud to provide another early Transformers comic review! Today, we review Transformers #7! Transformers #7 is out tomorrow - Wednesday, May 26th - from IDW Publishing Transformers #7 Credits Publisher: IDW Publishing Written by: Nick Roche & James Roberts Art by: Nick Roche Colors by: Josh Burcham Letters by: Chris Mowry Editor: Andy Schmidt Associate Editor: Denton J. Tipton Covers Cover A – Art by Don Figueroa and Colors by J. Brown Cover B – Art by Andrew Wildman Retailer Incentive – Art by Don Figueroa Review What are we now? Where are we going? We are our plans for the future? Those are not only the underlying questions that are answered for the Decepticons in Transformers #7, but questions for the future of the ongoing story arc that is set up through this issue. Transformers #6 ended by wrapping up the current mini-arc, promising a change in the tone of the series. Spike Witwicky and Skywatch seemed to come to a peace agreement with Optimus Prime and the Autobots after they helped defeat Menasor and the Swindle-led Decepticons that were left on Earth. Transformers #7 serves as a transitional issue, setting up events from not only upcoming issues but future storylines as well. While it does not necessarily move the story forward by leaps and bounds, it ensures that the puzzle pieces are in the correct place as the second big story arc of the ongoing series begins. While Transformers #7 was promoted as a Megatron-focused issue, it is much more than that. While narrated by Megatron, the issue details the status of the non-Earth based Decepticons as well as the changes occurring between the newly-found Autobot-Skywatch alliance. Megatron’s presence in the issue is VERY minimal but profound. The writer, Mike Costa, paints a grim picture for the Decepticons. Because resources are low, many of the soldiers have resorted to cannibalism to survive and replenish their Energon levels. Megatron is essentially on life support, Starscream’s sole obsession continues to be power and The Matrix he now possesses. Other high-ranking Decepticons have their own agendas, which may be contrary to those desired by Megatron. Without any major changes or reversal of fortune, the Decepticons appear to be doomed. Luckily, the conclusion of the issue provides hope for the Decepticons much like All Hail Megatron #9 provided hope for the Autobots. Costa’s material makes you actually root for the Decepticons just a little. It helps that Costa has chosen to include forgotten characters as savage characters, familiar quotes, and reveals that status of a certain gestalt leader and the status of a certain one-eyed Decepticon. The other portion of this issue further expands upon the newfound peace between Skywatch, the Autobots, and the outcome of General Witwicky’s (Spike’s dad) visit to Skywatch. While it does help to advance the story to the point where the next arc will start, Costa’s writing here does seem a bit too wordy and slows down the pacing slightly. Regardless, the material itself is beneficial towards the movement of the story. E.J. Su serves as the first new artist to assume the duties of the ongoing series, as Don Figueroa has provided the art for the first six issues. Regardless whether one liked Don’s new style or not, E.J. Su’s art will be a shock to the system for readers of the ongoing. While no different than his style featured in Spotlight: Prowl, E.J. Su’s art is a vast departure from the movie-verse style used by Don. If you liked E.J.’s style from Spotlight: Prowl, you’ll be happy with this issue. Unfortunately, J. Brown’s colors do not seem to work as well with E.J.’s art as it does with Don’s art. Some of the bright colors featured in the panels detailing the Decepticon story are way to vibrant when depicting the dark times the Decepticons are facing. Regardless of the little flaws here and there with the issue, Transformers #7 is worth picking up while understanding it is a transitional issue that paves the way for upcoming storylines. While the first story arc from the ongoing series lacked major starring power from both the Autobot and Decepticon sides, Transformers #7 provides hope that those pieces will soon be back in play. |

Back in the 80's, it wasn't surprising to see toy companies license their brands to other, possibly rival, companies to create their own licensed products. It's something that's a bit rarer today as most companies are apt to simply mimic products that would be created by a licensee. Transformers was no exception back then. One such product was an electric train set created by Tyco. Our Featured Ebay Auction is for that 1985 Tyco Transformers Electronic Train and Battle Set by seller ie.systems. The items makes a fantastic display piece when all set up.
