In 2010, Hasbro founded its TRANSFORMERS Hall of Fame, honoring humans and robots that have left an everlasting mark on the world of toys, entertainment and CYBERTRON during the past nearly 30 years of “ROBOTS IN DISGUISE” action. Now in its fourth year, Hasbro is once again turning to fans to help select two Fans’ Choice robot inductees to make up the class of 2013!
The resultant point values will be used to generate the final ballot of five choices, which will be voted upon in early June on Transformers.com. The two characters receiving the most fan votes in the final polling will be announced at Hasbro’s panel on Saturday, June 29, at BotCon in San Diego. Follow the linked discussion thread to place your nomination. |

Courtesy of Alfes 2010's blog, we now have a vast in-hand gallery of the recently released Super GT GT-R Prime and GT-R Saber (who are both retools of the first Alternity Convoy mold, as are the others in the line as well) with shots of their vehicle and robot modes, comparisons with the Alternity Convoy mold and galleries of their out-of-scale Microman-esque Race Queen companions that are bundled together with each Super GT release. Take the jump to view the galleries.

Alfes2000 of the Higekuma Toy Blog has posted some in-hand images of the recently released Takara-Tomy Generations Blaster. This incarnation of Blaster is a Japanese release of Fall of Cybertron Blaster with Steeljaw. Blaster sports silver on his legs which in vehicle mode links up with the silver on the arms and a deeper red. Steeljaw features a darker yellow and both have additional paint details over their US releases. Check out the gallery at the link above.

Hot on the trail of our last front page update on this figure, an eBay auction surfaced with in-hand photos of the upcoming e-Hobby Masterpiece MP-12T figure, Tigertrack! While this auction does not show any robot mode photos, it does allow us to get a closer look at the beautiful, yellow Lamborghini Countach alt mode. Tigertrack is a redeco of the Masterpiece MP-12 Lambor figure.
For those that may not know, this figure is a homage to not one, but two previous toys. The more obvious homage is to the mail-order e-Hobby exclusive Generation One Tigertrack that came out in early 2003. Also, this figure homages the Diaclone line, particularly the Diaclone New Yellow Countach LP500S figure (which is also obviously homaged by the 2003 G1 e-Hobby exclusive). Several of our sponsors have pre-orders for this figure, and if the recent Masterpiece figures are any indication of availability, you may want to secure yours today! |

The Transformers: Legends game by Mobage just wrapped up yet another game event, "Cold Delivery". Gamers, we hope you caught your breath fighting off Cosmos, Jetfire, Sky Lynx, and Omega Supreme, because it's time for yet another event! "Countdown to Extinction" has just begun, and this time players will be battling the likes of Starscream and his Minions. For this event the special Spacebridge characters are Ironhide, Sideswipe and Red Alert! Mobage updated their events web page with this story summary:
"With his superior missing in action and presumed dead, Starscream has stolen the Exponential Generator from Doctor Arkeville, and plans to use it to destroy the Earth and harness the energy to restore Cybertron! With the help of Ironhide, Sideswipe and Red Alert, you must seek and attack Starscream and his minions, before time runs out and the Earth is destroyed! If you have an iPhone or an Android, this is a free downloadable app that you can download by clicking here (data transfer charges apply, of course). This game is a multi-player card-based battle game that features much of the Classics-Generations characters, featuring new character artwork on each of the battle cards. This game allows the player to go through stages as well as teaming up with allies to beat bosses during events like the one reported here! TFW2005.COM features an ongoing discussion for the game itself going on here, as well as a the Transformers: Legends Mobage Social Group. If you're jumping in on the fun of this game, then jump into the discussions here as well! |

2005 Boards member Masabon has kindly shared with us some in-hand pictures of the newly released Takara-Tomy Generations Fall of Cybertron Skywarp. Presently a Japan exclusive release, Skywarp is a redeco of Generations Fall of Cybertron Starscream and along with the upcoming Hasbro Thundercracker completes this set of pre-Earth mode Seekers. He shys away from the traditional purple and black Skywarp colors for a grey and purple deco, previously featured on Alternity and Transformers Cybertron Skywarp. Check out these images and see if the more strongly purple deco is a deal-breaker for you or not.

With the news for Transformers 4 coming thick and fast, let's take a look at one of the cooler iterations of the movie series leading Autobot, Bumblebee. Starting out in the 2007 live action movie as a scout sent to locate Shia Labeouf's character Sam Witwicky, Bumblebee has been a mainstay of all three of the live action movies so far, and doubtless will also make an appearance in the upcoming Transformers 4.
Since its inception the Revoltech line by Kaiyado has sought to balance affordability with detail of design in its figures and incredible levels of poseabilty thanks to most figures coming with a display stand and the unique "revolver joint" system. Bumblebee, from the Sci-Fi Revoltech series, lives up to this ambition. He features a selection of alternate parts as standard for the Revoltech series, including an arm cannon, open and closed hands, and two interchangeable heads, one for his "normal" look and one with his battlemask deployed. He makes a great companion piece to the Movie Optimus Prime figures which Kaiyado has also released in their Sci-Fi Revoltech line - check out galleries of those two here and here. Open the link below to check out our gallery of Revoltech Bumblebee, which was contributed to our galleries by boards member VaderPrime1. Revoltech Transformers Movie Bumblebee |

New third party group, Mach 5 Toys, isn't pulling any punches with the reveals for their first project. They've revealed via their Facebook page the prototype for their Gauntlet figure. This unofficial Last Stand of The Wreckers Ironfist figure is shown here in robot mode. Also, displayed with the prototype is the alternate head and weapons which will be included with the 2nd release of this figure as Piston (aka G1 Crankcase). According to their Facebook page, they're aiming for a $45.00 price point.
Check out the image after the jump. |

The one-shot features the three GT Autobots - GT Prime, Saber and Maximus - racing when GT Megatron interferes. The kids walk exclusive character Safety Prime and the five GT Sister Race Queen characters also all make appearances.

Next up via Japanese imageboard 2Chan we can share with you a pair of scans showcasing the three different combined modes of the Autobot Samurai Team who are due for a release next month under the Transformers Go! brand. As demonstrated in these images the three Autobots Kenzan, Jinbu and Ganou can combine into three different gestalt forms, with one forming the arms and head, one forming the torso and the last forming the legs. The aesthetic of the combined forms, especially the main combined form with Kenzan as the arms and head, is very reminiscent of Takara's 90s "Brave" robot franchise, while the "three robots combine in three different formations for three different super robot modes" is a Super Robot anime staple that originated way back in the 1960s with the original Getter Robo anime.
Check out these images and see what you think of a Transformers series with a healthy side order of classic Japanese super robot anime thrown into the mix. |

A pair of tweets have been brought to our attention which between them have some interesting information about the newest incarnation of Transformers in Japan, Transformers Go! The first tweet shows off a bit more of the DVD animation that will be included with TV Boy to accompany the series, focusing on the two humans who will accompany the Transformers. The second shows off a new Transformers Prime / Transformers Go! Happy Meal (called "Happy Set" in Japan) promotion, which is set to launch June 21st. No other information on releases for this promotion is available beyond the Season 1 Optimus Prime with the flip out Star Saber that is pictured.

By way of our sponsors Robot Kingdom's Facebook page, we have a trio of updates on the Unique Toys Predaking project, War Lord.
First up, seen at left, the big guy himself is revealed. Unique Toys War Lord, the combination of the five smaller not-Predacons. These images also indicate the main gun will be formed out of the smaller guns of the individual Beasticons. The images also give a sense of scale by way of a comparison image with a Universe Cyclonus. Next up, colored test shot images of Unique Toys Savage Bull the War Bison have also been posted. You can check them out at the link above as well. Rounding out the update are a pair of in-package images for the second of the five Beasticons to be released shortly, Ironhead the War Rhino. The Unique Toys War Lord Beasticons are an unofficial project, neither licensed nor endorsed by Hasbro or Takara-Tomy. |

It's time for some actual Transformers 4 news, courtesy of Yahoo!, who has publicity photos of two new cars (and possible Autobots) fresh from the Transformers 4 set on the border of Arizona and Utah: The 2013 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse (which is one of this newsie's favorite car designs, period) and a special racing livery version of the 2014 C7 Corvette Stingray concept. While we do not know who exactly these characters may be, we DO know that they are both new Autobots.
Who do you think they could be? Swing on by the discussion thread and speculate away! |
