Word reaches us that Transformers Live Action Movie veteran Glenn Morshower will not be returning for Transformers 4. While attending the Texas Frightmare Weekend earlier this month, Morshower told fans that due to a scheduling conflict he would be unable to reprise his role for the fourth instalment of the live action movie franchise. Glenn Morshower played the role of Colonel Sharp in the first movie, commander of the ill-fated Soccent air base, before returning to play the role of General Morshower in Revenge of the Fallen and Dark of the Moon.

E-Hobby have updated their pre-order page for Classics Magnificus with some pages from the comic that will accompany the toy. The comic features a plethora of obscure Transformers characters, from the appearance of an unreleased ape Pretender to Generation 2 Eagle Eye, to the Japanese leader who never got a toy, Scrash. Could this comic play into the fiction that accompanied the Transformers United EX toys? Stay tuned for more news on this release.

A new third party group has come on to the scene. Named "Mach 5" their first release is not a transforming Delorean or a Transformer based on Speed Racer's car but an unlicensed version of the Generation 2 fan-favorite character Ironfist. M5-01 Gauntlet, as they call it, is based on Nick Roche's design of Ironfist from the Last Stand of the Wreckers miniseries. So far only CAD designs and lineart has been posted on the group's Facebook page. Check it out for a teaser of the latest new third party and their first planned release.

Originally teased back in February, a new third party group called Transformazing Toys started teasing a new upgrade kit for the Fall of Cybertron Generations Optimus and Ultra Magnus molds. This very large trailer in vehicle mode converts into a monster armor set for the figures and includes a Roller figure. Their Facebook page has been busy updating with prototype images for fans to check out. The armor/trailer set is set for a September release and will set you back anywhere from $140.00 to $170.00.
Check out the images after the break. |

Previously we saw Bios of Predaking and Bumblebee through two special character trailers titled Transformers: Prime Beast Hunters “Inside The Hunt”. They were serious in tone and informative.
Today we have with us the Bios for Optimus Prime and Megatron; both clips narrated in a funny way. Thanks to Toys "R" Us, Hong Kong for both clips. |

A trio of Transformers 4 extras casting calls have gone out via Beth Sepko Casting & Third Coast Extras on Facebook.
The initial call that went out was for "Submissions from Extras with very strong unique "character" faces that express a larger than lifeTEXAS type personality. Think people that look like Ranchers, oil men and women, realtor types that sell Dallas mansions, small town salt of the earth types, and strong southern-looking men & women- with faces that have a real local Texas flavor to their look and uniqueness!" A second call followed today for some more specific casting, as follows: ""Mom"- Female Caucasian or Hispanic: Age 30s-50s (must have plus sized figure, expressive comedic face, small town Texas look ); "Dad"- Male Caucasian or Hispanic: Age 30s-50s (must have plus sized figure, expressive comedic face, small town Texas look)" There was also a casting call for Hollywood staple attractive women: "FEMALE CAUCASIAN EXTRAS between the ages of 16-23 fit, tan, attractive with an "all-american" Texas type" |

Apple's iBooks has uploaded a three page preview of IDW's Robots in Disguise #18. In issue #18 someone has a bad case of survivor guilt!
After the shattering events of the past two issues, we can't tell you who's alive and who's dead. But we will hint that one CYBERTRONIAN has to reconsider her worldview—while she comes face-to-face with some old enemies. We won't mention any names, but she's in for the fight of her life! Check out the preview attached to this post. |

Third party group Mach 5 is not hanging around announcing new projects - after yesterday's full reveal of their unlicensed take on Last Stand of the Wreckers Ironfist, today they have announced the remold of their Gauntlet. Sporting a new head and cannon mount (along with two guns), Mach 5's second release is the M5-02 Piston aka an unofficial Generation 1 Crankcase. CGI renders of both modes have been posted on the group's Facebook page by way of an announcement.

Courtesy of TFW2005 Site Sponsor Robot Kingdom's Facebook page, we now have in package photos of the soon to be released Platinum Edition Ultra Magnus. Featuring a newly-molded Forge of Solus Prime, the Platinum Edition Ultra Magnus is a vast remold of the Weaponizer Optimus Prime mold from the Transformers: Prime- Robots in Disguise line.
What is additionally intriguing about this release is the mysterious Autobot Logo with the words "3 of 30" printed on top of it. Could this be referring to the Platinum Edition toyline itself, or is this referring to the number of toys in the "Thrilling 30" line? Stay tuned to TFW2005 as time goes on, where we will bring you news regarding the Thrilling 30 celebration, as well as everything else Transformers as the news breaks. |

2005 Boards member cobra zartan has shared with us some test shot images of the upcoming Generations Deluxe class Orion Pax. This toy represents a young Autobot law enforcer already on the path to becoming the greatest hero of Cybertron - Optimus Prime! He will be a part of Generations Deluxe Wave 5 which is due for a release sometime this summer. His wavemates will be Bumblebee, Megatron and Trailcutter - each of them based on their appearances in IDW's Transformers comics!
