As always, TFW2005 brings you the Best News… First. It just so happens that Amazon kindly revealed the synopsis of the previously announced Transformers: Prime comic book (Yes, it is indeed now confirmed as a comic book). With it, we now have the synopsis of the upcoming Transformers: Prime cartoon AND now we know exactly why the series it titled… Prime and why Bumblebee is a prominent character whenever a Hub News surfaces.
"This all-new graphic novel adventure leads directly into the all new Transformers: Prime animated series! In this epic first adventure, battles across Cybertron have left Bumblebee and his fellow Autobots in need of a new leader. But is there anyone who can step forward against the threat of Megatron and the evil Decepticons?"

From the International Licensing Expo 2010 we get our first look at a teaser poster for Transformers 3! This poster does not give much away, but does show a very awesome and heroic looking view of Optimus Prime striding through the middle of an explosion (how very appropriate). Check it out along with a display of Bumblebee model and Camaro over at Comic Book Movie, and then discuss this story on our 2005 Boards by clicking the discuss button.

A quick heads up for our UK readers - our friend and sponsor Red leader of Kapow Toys has stopped by our 2005 Boards to advise that Hasbro UK has released the new Battle Ops Bumblebee from the Hunt for the Decepticons series and that he is on his way to retailers! This version of Bumblebee features a huge selection of features including a flip down battlemask which alters the sound effects that the robot mode makes.

Our sponsors at TFSource have just listed a new WST set that may be of some interest to some of our readers. The listing is for a 5 piece Dinorobot WST Giftset: Comic Edition, which will be limited to just 300 pieces worldwide.
This set features all 5 dinorobots in "comic edition" paint schemes, and will come in an exclusive giftset featuring all new artwork. Those interested may want to preorder early because at 300 pieces they are sure to sell out. You can grab a preorder for $114.95 or $109.95 depending on your box condition preference at TFSource. |

Bzzurkk has just posted up a preview of Transformers #8 from IDW's ongoing series. This issue seems to be focused primarily on Spike Witwicky.
"Spike Witwicky commands a unit specially trained to take down Transformers; he has single-handedly brokered peace between the U.S. and the Autobots. But there are secrets in his past that could jeopardize all of that. Good thing Spike's not the kind of guy who would recklessly endanger the entire world to settle a personal score, right?" You can check out all of the covers as well as a 4 page preview of the comic by clicking on the thumbnail. |

Thanks to Derrick Wyatt's Twitter account we now have a pretty full image of some of the upcoming Hub offerings. Most notably, a near full image of Bumblebee from Transformers Prime. Notice the blending of movie and Animated aesthetics that are going on there.
Our G.I. Joe fans will also notice the Snake Eyes present in this image from the upcoming G.I. Joe cartoon set to debut on the Hub. |

Matt Tieger of High Moon Studios was a guest on Kotaku Talk Radio today and was able to not only drop a little bit more knowledge on the game, but answer a few listener questions as well. A lot of familiar information but here are some highlights:
*Escalation mode not exclusive to consoles, also available on PC. Everyone who appears in single player is available to choose from in Escalation (as well as whatever pre-order characters you may have). *Currently trying to "figure out a way" to get the pre-order characters available for the PC as well. *TFW2005 got plugged by a caller. Thanks! *In multiplayer if you max out every class/stat you can give it all up and gain "Prime" status (much like Prestige in Modern Warfare). This earns you a special icon. There is also a challenge system which earns you more XP much like in Modern Warfare (you can track your progress through Teletran 1). *360 Multiplayer demo will feature Deathmatch and Conquest modes. Conquest involves capturing control nodes to take control of a majority of the map. Only 4 classes for Multiplayer and only 2 will be available for the demo: Scouts and Tanks. And the demo will be available for download on June 10th! Head on into the thread to read more about this call, and talk about War for Cybertron! |

This is a minor update to the Transformers toys found at K-mart in Beaumont California news posted moments ago. GTR-prime0088 of the 2005 Boards got his hands on the WFC toys shipped to him. And pasted front of the packaging is a sticker promoting Hasbro’s new channel; The HUB.
The sticker reads… Hub; Your New TV Network! hubworld.com. There’s good probability that you will see this sticker on all the toys releasing throughout the coming months. |

TFCLUB posted some lovely Hi-Resolution images of the upcoming Voyager Class Battle Blades Optimus Prime.
What’s so special about the figure? This voyager version of the Movie Optimus Prime is a brand new mold mimicking the looks of the ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime. Not only the Voyager toy is less-bulky, it also features two Battle Blades. As a bonus, this figure comes with a Matrix Of Leadership. Check-out the gallery by clicking on the image. |

iGear has posted the first image of what appears to be another BotCon 2010 exclusive item. This figure, whose identity is currently unknown, is a repaint of the deluxe-class dinosaur mode Megatron figure released in the last part of the Cybertron line.
Since the convention box set has already been revealed, this figure will likely be paired with another figure for purchase only at the convention. BotCon 2010 runs from June 24th to June 27th. |

Back in February, it was reported that James Avery would be providing the voice for a new Transformer called Silverbolt in Transformers 3.
This last weekend, an internet rumor spread that James had passed away. In confirmation that he was indeed still alive and that his death was some cruel hoax, a representative for the actor stated that he is doing well and will assume the role of Silverbolt in Transformers 3! Confirmation! |

Good news Canadian readers. Toys R US brings you good tidings of great Transformers Animated toys. Thanks to an image posted by UltraPrimal on Cybertron.ca we now have evidence that Cybertron Mode Ratchet and Arcee have made it through Canadian customs.
Canadian readers can now begin visiting your local Toys R US daily only to find the pegs void of a certain fembot because someone else had already beat you to it. Happy hunting friends! |

/film has posted up quite a bit of information pertaining to Transformers 3, and some of it may be in the spoiler realm so keep that in mind when reading or discussing this any further. First for the non-spoiler stuff:
-Transformers 3 will be released in 3D. No word though if it will be shot in 3D or converted in post. -"Dorky comedy" gone. Twins are "basically" gone. -Transformers 3 will be the end of a trilogy. Bay says “As a trilogy, it really ends. It could be rebooted again, but I think it has a really killer ending.” And now for the spoilery part: -The main villain in Transformers 3 will be Shockwave To read the full /film article head on over there using this link. Then jump on in our forums and join in on the discussion, but beware, spoilers are abound! |
