TFW2005 boards member uranusdd (original source via Weibo member 软体动物), shared with us another new project, this time headed by the toy company Ori Toy, most notably known for their Acid Rain toy line. We don't have much to go off of right now besides one image that reveals they are working on some type of Optimus Prime figure, slated to be released in 2015. What the project entails is not known right now, so time to speculate and share your thoughts by hitting the discussion link below!

Fans Toys' next release is eminent and will be swooping into your collections soon! TFW2005 has an early look at the final packaged version of FT-05, Iron Dibots #2, Soar. We've done up over 90 high resolution shots of him in action today, all attached to this story after the break!
We'll forgo a proper review and let the pics speak for themselves, but feel free to ask questions in the thread and we will try to answer! |

The official Transformers Facebook page has updated with a pretty cool compilation image that traces the evolution of the new helicopter member of the Aerialbots, Alpha Bravo. Alpha Bravo is a reimagined Slingshot, though the comics by IDW make him a separate character in his own right.
This image charts the progress of a Transformer design from the early sketches, through the grey model prototype phase and the color charts, right down to the final design. The sharp eyed might notice, though, that there is a different head in the top right of the document to the one on Alpha Bravo. Alpha Bravo has a faceplate, a visor, and other details around the head are also different. Which begs the question - is this an earlier head design before concepts for the character went a different direction, or is this a stealthy glance at a potential alternate head for use on a remold of Alpha Bravo as Protectobot Blades - whose head features some of the design elements shown in the sketch, and others could be explained away as Hasbro's reinterpretation of the classic head design. There's also a red version of the helicopter mode right beneath the head - so could this be a tease at Blades? |

Good news Combiner Wars fans, the new Legends figures have been spotted at retail in the US! Dracula of The Allspark spotted the 1st wave of Legends figures at a Target in Arkansas. They share the same DCPI number(087061379) as previous Legends figures.
Happy hunting! |

Thanks again to the Official Transformer's Facebook page, we get a quick look at the production process of Combiner Wars Firefly! The image shows the progress of Firefly from the first sketches to grey prototype to the final design.
This is a follow up to Alpha Bravo which they did a couple days ago. What is interesting is that we have the same head design in the top right. Did they forget just to change the template or is there some more similarities between the two figures than meets the eye? Discuss your thought in your discussion thread! |

We've got an early Christmas treat to share with you, in the form of a gallery of one of the new glorious Combiner Wars Transformers! First up is Skydive of the Aerialbots - one of the Wave 1 Deluxe Combiner Wars toys, who can form either an arm or a leg for a larger gestalt.
Skydive sticks close to his Generation 1 predecessor with this updated toy, right down to the general transformation - though there is some clever "scissoring" of the legs when going between jet and robot modes. The general transformation is shared with the other Aerialbots. It's simple yet effective - my only critique is that the arms do not really tuck away. However, the robot mode is solid, and there are not too many sacrifices made for the sake of combining. The deco is good, though personally I'd liked to have seen the thunderbolt details of the original retained - the gold stripes do not have the same amount of punch, in my view. Overall, Skydive is a solid toy, as are his fellow Aerialbots, who we hope to share galleries of in the coming days. Check out Skydive in our new Combiner Wars galleries section below and see what you think of this cool addition to the Autobot air force! Generations Combiner Wars Skydive Gallery |

Third party group Xovergen has posted final images of their God Armor figure, a companion piece to their Trailerforce. As Trailerforce was to the original Powermaster Optimus Prime, so this one is Apex Armor for him (or if you prefer the Japanese version, Godbomber).
Check out the images and see what you think. |

TFW2005 member Masabon has kindly shared with us a selection of images of the Million Publishing mail-away exclusive Japanese Generations Shouki figure. Shouki is based on the Trainbot from the Japanese Generation 1 show The Headmasters, and comes with an exo-suited Daniel based on Micromaster Skystalker. Shouki himself is a redeco of Classics Astrotrain, and makes use of that shuttle mode to disguise himself as the Decepticon shuttle Thunder Arrow / Skystalker's shuttle.
Check out Masabon's pictures, attached to this post! |

In this update:
If you've not checked out Angry Birds Transformers, now might be a good time to do so - it's an enjoyable game for a quick burst of action when you have a few free minutes to blow stuff up. |

The latest edition of Previews has explained what the story is with the white spot that many people spotted on the Retailer Exclusive covers for the Combiner Wars comics from IDW. The white space is not hiding some huge spoiler - though that would have been a logical conclusion - but rather it is a space for your local comic store! Yes - your local comic store! What IDW is offering is a chance for comic stores to have their premises drawn into the cover, either being protected by Superion on Transformers #39 or destroyed by Devastator on Windblade (volume 2) #1!

Via Autobase Aichi, we have a clear image showing Takara-Tomy's AD-32 Stinger! This is presently the only planned Deluxe class Stinger - he's a redecoed version of the new Camaro Bumblebee, so his robot mode is spot on even though he's not a Pagani when he transforms. Check out the image and see what you think.

Thanks to TFW2005 boards member Type-R, we've got some new magazine scans to look over from the Dengeki Hobby magazine. We've seen most of the figures in the imagaes before, but always a welcome sight to see more! In these scans we have some shots of the QT line, Takara Legends, AD-32 Stinger, D-Style Convoy, and Genesis Megatron.
Make the jump to discuss with fellow fans. |

Hat tip goes out to TFW2005 member Nevermore for letting us know of his recent find at German retail: Robots in Disguise (2015) toys! Included in the find was wave 1 of the RID Hyper Change Heroes / 3-Step Changers, and wave 1 of the Warrior Class figures.
Good news for collectors and fans of the new series, but due to the Christmas holiday you may have to wait a little longer before hunting for them as stores are beginning to close to celebrate. Make the jump to discuss and be sure to utilize our sightings forum so we all can stay connected! |

Comics Alliance had the pleasure to interview Tom Scioli and John Barber regarding Transformers vs. G.I. Joe Volume 1 which is hitting shelves early January.
ComicsAlliance: The amazing thing about Transformers vs. G.I. Joe for me as a reader is that it doesn’t feel like it should exist, and I mean that in the best way possible. It has this feeling that there’s no way this book should’ve been approved, because it’s so wild, raw and energetic. How did you get that feeling to come across in this comic? Tom Scioli: I don’t know how you would get to that point with any kind of comic. Just from my perspective, I’ve been doing comics for such a long time and in such a way that’s very different from the normal career path for comics, so I don’t know how you replicate that. I don’t know how many other people are out there that would be able to have that mix of discipline and self-destructive chaotic impulse to get that. I don’t know, John? Do you have any perspective? John Barber: To one degree or another, when you’re working on something that’s company-owned, you have to forget about that when you’re working on it, and I think that degree varies. The whole idea was to make something kind of weird, that went out the window at some point. There was probably a minute early on where Michael Kelly, the guy we work with at Hasbro as their Director of Global Publishing, called and he was like, “This isn’t exactly what we talked about.” He loves the book, but at some point, the idea was going to be safer. It’s not like there’s anything unsafe about this, either, but you want to be able to point at it and say “here are these two things that we put together to make one thing,” and I don’t think you can do that with our book. I think that’s what makes it interesting. Read the entire interview at the Comics Alliance. |
