In a massive shocking turn of events, Cybertron Con in China has produced some incredible news we know many of you had been hoping to see come out of the San Diego Comic Con. At the Hasbro new products panel several of the new 2011 release Transformers toys were on show, and photos were allowed. All of these images come from tfclub's Tsina account (requires registration).
On show were toy pictures of: Legends: Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream and revealed for the first time anywhere, Gold Bumblebee, who long time fans will recognize as a homage to Bumblebee's upgraded form Throttlebot Goldbug from The Return of Optimus Prime! Scouts: Windcharger. Just Windcharger. Check him out, he's awesome! Deluxes: Here's the mother-lode, what you've all been waiting to see. On show were: Special Ops Jazz, "Turbo" Tracks, Perceptor, Scourge and Thunderwing. Voyagers: Lugnut and Grapple were shown. Lugnut looks a little mistransformed / awkwardly posed though. Power Core Combiner Five Packs: Grimstone with the Dinobots and Steamhammer with the Constructicons. Stay tuned for more news from Cybertron Con as it becomes available. |

At the Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong (ACGHK) material-entertainment fair, being held over this weekend, Hasbro Hong Kong is offering this cool, one-of-a-kind Lucky Draw Battle Blades Bumblebee. It is made entirely in gold chrome and is encased within a special display case, much like the 2007 Movie Leader Optimus Prime Lucky Draw offered by Hasbro Hong Kong in 2008. Like the Movie Leader Optimus Prime, this piece is available to fans who spend big at the Hasbro booth - except this year, because there is only one piece, it is a straightforward case of whoever spends the most at the Hasbro booth over the course of the weekend gets the prize toy!
Check out the images of this piece by clicking on the title of this article - and take a look at the some more images from the event by visiting HK-TF's gallery. |

This wave, which includes newcomer Clone Gunner / Republic Fighter Tank along with the 2010 redeco of Obi-Wan Kenobi / Jedi Starfighter and Cad Bane / Xanadu Blood in the new, black, original trilogy inspired packaging. These three were sighted at a Target store in Seattle.

Get those salt-shakers ready folks, because we have a very interesting - and unusual - item for you today.
As you can see to the left of this image, that is a fully gold chromed version of the legendary Fortress Maximus - the largest Transformers toy ever released. He originally hit stores in 1987 as the centerpiece of the Headmasters line, and has since gone on to command high prices on the secondary market. The mold has been reused a couple of times down the years, including Brave Maximus in Car Robots - also known as Fortress Maximus in the series Robots in Disguise. Which brings us to this strange piece. It is on display at Cybertron Con in China alongside many other items including the prototype for Masterpiece Rodimus Prime. While it is tempting to write this off as a bootlegger getting a bit over-enthusiastic with gold chrome, it is on display with the other official Transformers merchandise - which you can check out here on ACToys. UPDATE - 2005 Boards member DrillBIT and several other members have pointed out this new image. For those that cannot read the caption, it explains that this is a fan made custom item and not an official piece. The fan who created this awesome piece brought it out for display at Cybertron Con for his fellow fans to enjoy. So there you have it. It's a custom, not an official piece, and doesn't hint at a reissue or anything. It's still extremely cool though, so enjoy the pics by clicking on the title of this story. |

There had been many speculations regarding the identity of the new Mercedes-Benz E350 Autobot in Transformers 3 by fans. Finally, Nelson of the Shoot For The Edit provided us with more info about who he is.
First of all Nelson said… “Mercedes is not Jolt.” And to clear things-up furthermore, “IIRC, the blue Mercedes and the Einstein-looking bot are the same.“ If this is not a misinformation then, so ends the rumors stating that the Mercedes bot is Shockwave/Soundwave in disguise. Still we are yet to findout the name of this bot with brains. |

This is an update to a previous article.
Nelson continues to pour more info about Transformers 3 NASCAR Trio. Answering to a thread Nelson of MichaelBay.com said that the NASCAR Trio are not Rallybots with a simple "NO". So far Nelson said NO to Stunticons, Omnibots and now for Rallybots as the NASCAR Trio. For those who want to know about Rallybots, you can visit our Resources Section for more info by clicking on : Double Clutch with Rallybots. |

Nelson; the administrator of MichaelBay.com, visited our boards and announced that the famous Transformers 3 NASCAR Trio are indeed The Wreckers.
We wish to thank, Mr. Nelson Lauren for this exclusive piece of news. We do believe The Wreckers need no introduction. But, just in case... The Wreckers are a sub-team of Autobots in the Transformers Universe, functioning essentially as a commando unit. They were created by Marvel UK writer, Simon Furman. The Wreckers are called upon whenever the odds of success are slim. We end this article with the famous quote... "Wreck & Rule!!!" |

No, the article's not about a ginger haired person but rather about a new face of a robot for Transformers 3.
This new robot was spotted interacting with Sam and Carly on the TF3 Set. You can also spot him on the following YouTube video (at 3:51). Who do you think this new robot is? The Ferrari 458 Italia, Rollbar, the red NASCAR Wrecker or someone else? Tell us what you think by clicking on the Discuss Button. |

This is it; we now have the name of the Transformers 3 Mercedes-Benz E550 Autobot thanks to Nelson, who cleverly hid the name of the robot. It was only after giving away the name at the Don Murphy Message Boards that people started to notice the meaning behind the title at Nelson's Flickr Account.
Those who know G1 is familiar with the name… while at the same time, those who love James Bond films may also know the name. To make things much easier… His name can be pronounced with just one letter from the Alphabet. Can’t guess? Or think you’ve got it? Click on the Title Bar to uncover the name.

Patrick Dempsey revealed that his character in Transformers 3 is a Race-Car Driver and has a great car collection.
Speaking to The Herald News, Mr. Dempsey said... "In 'Transformers 3,' my character is a race-car driver, which is perfect. It's cool to have all those toys in the movie." Also, speaking to the NBC Chicago he revealed that... "My character has a great car collection, which has been fun. We were shooting in Milwaukee a few weeks ago -- which was a beautiful city -- at their museum there, and there's a lot of stuff that we do with cars. My character is very involved with the automobile, so it's great fun." Dempsey had kind words for Chicago. "This city has been wonderful in allowing us to do what we're doing with the movie. Michael Bay loves this city and I think it's going to show up in the movie the way he's shooting it." Image courtesy : NBC Chicago. |

TFClub has shared an image from the Cybertron Con new toy displays of a possible Takara-Tomy version of Battle Ops Bumblebee. This toy, which was shown in the same case as a number of other upcoming release toys, features a very impressive looking metallic gold finish in the place of the yellow plastic on the Hasbro release - a similar treatment to the one given to Animated Bumblebee when he was released in Japan. According to the card displayed next to the toy, it is a "Gold limited edition Bumblebee".
Stay tuned to TFW for more information on this and all things Transformers. |

Also posted on KOToys are images of The Fallen with the new spear accessory and the removable face mask. These images show Fallen both with and without the facemask, so you get a nice look at The Fallen after he has "given Optimus Prime his face".

An image is circulating the Transformers fan sites of an unknown crystal "clear plastic" version of the 2007 Movie Voyager Class Optimus Prime mold. If you've seen any Movie series Voyager wave in stores over the last three years, chances are you'll know this toy - it's various reuses include Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime and Defender Optimus Prime, plus from 2007 the Target store exclusive Robovision Optimus Prime. So he's had a lot of reuses already. This version sticks with the traditional red and blue deco but renders it all in clear plastics.
What it is though is unclear - is it an upcoming Hasbro or Takara-Tomy special edition? Or is it an unofficial knock-off piece like the fake Lucky Draw Classics Optimus Primes and Galvatrons that are known to be in circulation. As always keep it TFW2005 for more updates. |
