Response to the current club exclusives pre-orders has been incredible! Over the weekend Punch/Counter Punch has sold out! However, we are checking to see if we can get the quantities increased. We will keep you posted if we are able to do this. If we are able to increase the production numbers, we ask that you give members who have not ordered a set, the chance to purchase before you order seconds...etc. In addition, Cyclonus has sold through approximately 60% of the run. If you are interested in that figure, don't delay as we expect it to sell out soon as well. BotCon update: We are still working on final details and the online registration system. We hope to have the brochure up very soon. Thanks for your support! Brian |

The April / May edition of the Transformers Collector's Club magazine has started to arrive! The main highlight of this issue relates to the Power Core Combiners line. In an interview with Hasbro, it is confirmed that they intend to release 9 different Scout + Mini-Con two packs, and 6 five packs - meaning there are another 3 two packs, and 2 five packs which we have yet to see! The interview also mentions that fiction is being developed around the Power Core Combiners line, and an in-universe backstory is given for the line - the story goes that the Power Core Combiners are an experiment in making combiner robots who do not sacrifice parts of their minds in the process of combining, creating smarter gestalts.
Also in this issue is an update on the Botcon registration status, which is being developed in conjunction with "EventMan.com", so it looks very likely that there will be online registration available this year! There's also a retrospective interview with Derrick Wyatt about Transformers Animated, which includes some unused season 4 plans (more Dinobots and Constructicons) and all but confirms we'll be seeing some unused season 4 stuff in the Allspark Almanac Volume 2. There's also part 2 of a feature looking at Transformers 2010, a look back at Botcon exclusives, and the usual comic and character profiles. Remember, to receive the Transformers Collector's Club Magazine, you must first be a member of the Transformers Collector's Club. Find out more about joining by clicking here to visit the Transformers Collector's Club homepage. Many thanks to 2005 Boards member Beastbot X for the detailed writeup of the new issue |

TFW2005 is proud to provide another early Transformers comic review! Today, we review Transformers #5! Transformers #5 is out tomorrow - Wednesday, March 31st - from IDW Publishing Transformers #5 Credits Publisher: IDW Publishing Written by: Mike Costa Art by: Don Figueroa Colors by: J. Brown 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 Transformers #5 is a beginning and an end. It’s an end to the three separate storylines that the first four issues of the ongoing series bounced between. Gone is the Bumblebee mini-series, which took place concurrently with the last few ongoing issues. The hide and seek games with the humans are coming to an end. It’s a new beginning for the three storylines, as the pieces start to fall and the storylines start to meld. Things start to get big, both figuratively and literally. Leading up to Issue #5, the Bumblebee-led segment of Autobots is recovering from their face off with the Colonel Horuchi’s secretive Skywatch group. Bumblebee sacrificed himself to free his fellow Autobots and his human friends against both Skywatch and the Decepticon Skywarp. Bumblebee survived and his body rebuilt, which is quickly addressed and tied into the ongoing story. The Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime group of Autobots are working on building a ship to get off of Earth, working alongside the remaining Decepticons that are under the leadership to Swindle. Ultra Magnus is on Earth, still investigating the death of Ironhide and surrender of Optimus Prime, bouncing from the Bumblebee camp to Hot Rod’s camp. Spike Witwicky of Skywatch, meanwhile, seeks answers from Optimus Prime regarding their purpose on Earth. Transformers #5 begins with Optimus Prime providing both Spike Witwicky and the readers with a full explanation of his sudden resignation as Autobot leader and surrender to Skywatch. His actions serve a dual purpose, as a peace offering to the humans and a means to create change for the better with the Autobot ranks. Ultra Magnus returns to Bumblebee’s camp and demands their assistance in performing his designated purpose. At Hot Rod’s camp, overconfidence leads to a mistake that causes a shift in the status quo. In turn, this shift will ultimately tie the storylines together and provide for one cohesive story over the upcoming issues. Writer Mike Costa is starting to deliver on the promise he made it the DeceptiComments section following Issue #4, with his goal and purpose becoming quite clear. While his apparent interpretation of characters over the first few issues seemed different that those we were familiar with, Issue #5 starts to reveal that these are the characters we remember and that their odd actions or statements have purpose behind them. Optimus Prime starts to speak more like the Prime we remember and love. Ultra Magnus has an “I can’t deal with that right now” moment with Bumblebee mentions big changes (referring to Bumblebee #4). The only characterization that seems far off still is that of Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime. While Hot Rod (in his various representations in various continuities) at times is immature and makes rash decisions, his actions thus far in the ongoing series have proven absolutely disastrous at every turn. He’s not just unlucky, he’s oblivious and inept as a leader and as a soldier. By now, readers of the ongoing series are familiar with Don Figueroa’s art style for this series and that its mostly been a love-it or hate-it issue with the fans. The art style hasn’t changed from that of the earlier ongoing issues, but this issue contains Don’s best work yet in the series. Everything from the placement and posing of characters in each panel to his angles and perspective are top-notch, with no let down during any part of the issue. The last three pages are primarily full-page panels and are both gorgeous and stunning. James Brown has contributed in Don’s efforts as well, providing some eye-popping colors and effects which amounts to his best work yet in this series as well. The Ongoing series thus far has proven to be divisive among the fans. Deviation from the familiar isn’t always a popular choice. The Ongoing team seems to be listening to fans as they move forward in the development of this series. While keeping to the storyline that has intrigued fans of the series thus far, they have started to incorporate elements desired by those who have addressed concerns about the series. As the series moves beyond its infancy, individual developments are starting to merge and a cohesive, interesting story is developing. IDW has big plans for this series and they attempt to reinforce that by making a HUGE, albeit expected, statement at the end of Transformers #5. |

Board member Deceptigtar has gotten his hands on an upcoming Hunt for the Decepticons Voyager Class Night Ops Ratchet. He has shared with us a complete robot and vehicle mode gallery including some against his nemesis Deluxe Class Revenge of the Fallen Lockdown. This Ratchet appears to be missing some paint applications shown on Hasbro's stock photography so it is still early to say if this will be the definitive scheme.

For collectors and fans, one of the best things about Ebay, and the net in general, is the ability to come across unproduced, extremely rare or completely unknown items. Today we have one of those rare, pre-production items that you just don't see too often, if ever.
Today's Featured Ebay Auction is for an Pre-Production Optimus Prime G2 Pop Up Card from seller thethingsifind. This was part of a "pop-up" card set that was included with various figures, in this case G2 Laser Rod Optimus Prime. This pre-production version shows the template and how the cards were assembled. If you're a fan of G2 Transformers figures, why not check out more listings for G2 Transformers. We have mirrored, and cleaned up, the images. Simply click the headline of the story to see them. UPDATE: Updated with correct info courtesy of 2005 Boards members The Asp & knighsword. |

Japanese online retailer Red Mercury has confirmed that the items are not cancelled, just delayed. Instead of a June release, Optimus Prime and Megatron will now be released in the August to September time frame. |

A new image gallery depicting the only previously shown Botcon 2010 figure: Spark, has appeared on Photobucket. Spark's color scheme is clearly based on Generation 2 Pyro, while he reuses Universe/Henkei Inferno's mold. Even though he loses his gun emplacement, he still has a spring-loaded missile launcher and probably no GPS.
