A member of 4Chan reports that he has sighted the exclusive Transformers Animated Arcee figure at a Toys 'R Us store in Houston, TX. The item was not in the Toys 'R Us computers yet, so the cashier mistakenly rang up the item at Legends-class price. There is no confirmation if the Toys 'R Us exclusive Autobot Ratchet Cybertron Mode figure was also sighted. Check out the picture proof by clicking on the thumbnail to the left.
Update: panzerjedi of our 2005 Boards has sighted both at a Toys 'R Us in California. See the updated thumbnail picture to the left for proof. |

Higekuma Toy Toy Blog has posted galleries and reviews (in Japanese) of the two latest Transformers Revenge of the Fallen releases to arrive in Japan, Shanghai Attack Demolishor and Desert Combat Rampage. Both of these decos will shortly be arriving in the US - Shanghai Attack Demolishor will be released as a part of the Shanghai Showdown set, and Desert Combat Rampage will be released as a part of the 2010 wave 3 Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe class toys. Both US releases will feature small differences, though - Demolishor's US release has "mud" on his treads and parts of his body, making this Japanese release a "clean" version, while Desert Combat Rampage has additional yellow paint applications not included on the US release, and a silver shovel on his vehicle mode.

Pete has let us know that new images have been posted at the Transformers Collectors' Club website, showing us the two new club exclusives in detail.
The new Shattered Glass Cyclonus' bio reads: Cyclonus has always found loyalty to be merely a means to an end. However, the war has changed and Cyclonus may have changed as well. With the help of his new Targetmaster, Krunix, Cyclonus seeks to leave his old ways behind so that he can once again be deemed a worthy soldier in the Decepticon ranks. and Punch/Counterpunch's: Many in the espionage world put on a second name to hide who they truly are from their enemy. Punch takes it a step further, not only donning a new name, but a new face and body as well! This second persona lets him get close to his enemy, accomplishing his missions without the Decepticons being any the wiser. Click above to view all images. |

In his downtime between saving the world from the evil Decepticons, Megatron and the Fallen, Optimus Prime has been moonlighting helping one Taiwanese man dry his washing! The sculpture, built for the man's son who is a big fan of Optimus Prime, is 14 feet high and cost approximately $1,600 worth of scrap metal to build. Check out the original report over on Mobile01 and an English article on Engadget. To top it all off, here is a clip of the local media's coverage of this unique addition to the local scenery:

Takara-Tomy have launched a promotional campaign to support the Japanese release of the Revenge of the Fallen NEST Global Alliance series! These special edition tin badges bear the NEST logo as seen on the packaging of the new assortments of Revenge of the Fallen toys. They were obtained at a Toys R Us store in Japan by 2005 Boards member Nightbirdy - while it is not confirmed that these are Toys R Us exclusive items, it seems highly likely they are, based on Toys R Us Japan's history of offering exclusive campaign Transformers merchandise with qualifying purchases.

Cybergundam Blog has updated with scans from the latest edition of Hobby Japan, which includes the unveiling of the Winter Wonder Festival Exclusive Transformer! As previously indicated by his silhouette in Figure King, this will be a redeco of The Fallen - more specifically, it is a slightly different version of the Target Exclusive "Burning" Fallen. The Fallen Blazing Edition features more or less the exact same deco and color layout as the Target version, and comes in the same packaging, however, unlike the Target version, the orange plastic on this one is translucent to simulate the effect of energy or "flames".

2005 Boards member Yizhi521 has shared with us our first images of the upcoming "Unite for the Universe" Jetpower Optimus Prime and Megatron toys. As previously suggested, Megatron is a silver repaint of his Voyager Class mold, while Optimus Prime comes with additional parts to form either a "jet truck" or a more movie accurate version of his final combined form with Jetfire. Optimus Prime himself appears to be the Voyager Class mold, although there may be some modifications to attach the Jetfire parts.

Courtesy of yizhi521 of TF08.net, the first images have surfaced for UA-01 Jetpower Optimus Prime and UD-01 Megatron from TakaraTomy's Unite for the Universe subline for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen toyline. Jetpower Optimus Prime appears to be an Optimus Prime figure with additional Jetfire armor. While the armor does not appear to transform into a robot Jetfire, it can transform to part of Jetfire's jet mode and be hauled by Optimus Prime in his vehicle mode. Megatron is a repaint of the original Revenge of the Fallen Voyager-mold, in a more movie-accurate paint scheme. Check out the images, albeit small, by clicking on the thumbnail to the left.
Update: Courtesy of Remy and his TFKenkon blog, larger images are available. The Jetpower Optimus Prime image confirms that the Jetfire armor fits on top of the Voyager-class Optimus Prime mold. Click on the thumbnnail to the left to see the larger images as well. |

2005 Boards sponsor Red Leader of Kapow Toys has sent some images of a pair of interesting new Transformers Animated products from Takara-Tomy our way. These new sets recreate Optimus Prime and Bumblebee in Lego (or similar, Lego styled construction system). They are capable of transforming between robot and vehicle mode (with what looks like a minimum amount of part swapping) and appear to have basic levels of articulation in robot mode. They are due out in June.

Trevor Hutchison has posted the alternate cover to Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers Issue 4 on his Deviant Art Account. The cover continues the trend of strong, retro styled covers for the series and does not give too much of what is happening in this issue away.
Don't forget that Last Stand of the Wreckers Issue #1 will be hitting comic stores this week, so be sure to check out this series that is already being called a "future fan favorite". |

The CyberGundam blog has posted a clearer image of the upcoming Starscream figure from the Transformers Alternity line. This will also be the 1st Starscream figure that turns into something other than an aerial vehicle. "Carscream" is also the 1st seeker in the Alternity line.
