TFW2005 06-03-2014 09:20 PM Transformers 4 Age of Extinction International ''PG'' Trailer   Originally posted by: Red Goblin @ TFW2005.com Quote: Happy Trailer Tuesday. We first reported it's rating a while ago, then some our members got to see it (and still can) before Disney's Maleficent. Now here it is, with its full glory. CBMTrailers uploaded Transformers 4 Age of Extinction's ''PG'' friendly trailer, but in Russian. It's mostly an alternate version of the Payoff trailer with a few additions like extended scenes with Bumblebee, a pack of ''Wolf''s, and a hilarious encounter between Hound and Stanley Tucci's Joshua. Check it out! Original Source: Transformers 4 Age of Extinction International ''PG'' Trailer @ Transformers - TFW2005.com.

TFW2005 06-03-2014 09:20 PM Age of Extinction Toys Off to a Slow Start? Less Retail Shelf Space?   Originally posted by: StayingInTheBox @ TFW2005.com Quote: Staff edit: A more detailed article on the slow pace of AOE toys has been linked to us helping us better understand this 50% statistic we're reading about. According to an article posted on The Globe and Mail the slow start for AOE toys and 50% decrease has to do with the amount of retailer shelf space given to these toys and not necessarily sales. From the article: "The fourth Transformers film, which is set to be released in late June, got half the shelf space at Toys R’ Us, Target and Wal-Mart as the movie’s third installment, Mr. Johnson said – this may have disappointed investors who were expecting the big-name movie to drive demand. He attributes the reduced space to increased caution on the part of retailers, and a certain amount of customer weariness." Our original report based on the New York Post article suggested toy sales were down 50%, however the more detailed article linked above suggests the decrease we're seeing is based on the retailer shelf space given to the AOE toy line. Original post: According to an article by the New York Post published earlier this week, the US toy industry is suffering from slow sales on figures based around blockbuster films, which the article calls “action-figure fatigue.” The article references three big blockbuster films supported by toy lines this summer which include the recently released The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but also includes a snippet of our main focus here on TFW: Age of Extinction. The article goes on to give some statistical comparison between the DOTM toy line launch and AOE's launch: The toys licensed around the next “Transformers” film is nearly 50 percent below levels seen before the release of the previous franchise film in 2011 [Dark of the Moon]. Is this bad news for the Transformers franchise? Are kids and collectors being "milked" by the same characters on the toy shelves? Is this nothing to worry about and just a sign of changing interests? Or perhaps, will sales pick up as the movie plays out? Let's hear what you have to say about this trend. Sound off after the jump. Original Source: Age of Extinction Toys Off to a Slow Start? Less Retail Shelf Space? @ Transformers - TFW2005.com.

TFW2005 06-04-2014 03:50 PM Transformers SDCC 2014 Exclusive Revealed: Knights of Unicron!   Originally posted by: Secretcode @ TFW2005.com Quote: Are you ready to rock out with your zebra-striped bot out?

In honor of the 30th anniversary of the Transformers brand, this Special Edition collector's set transformers your favorite characters -- Optimus Prime, Megatron, Smooth Jazz and Soundwave -- as you've never seen them before: hard-rockin' robots in the universe's greatest band, the Knights of Unicron!

With KISS and Iron Maiden-inspired album art (and perhaps a little Spinal Tap thrown in for good measure), the Knights record Look What the Bot Dragged In features such smirk-inducing tune names as Circuit Breaker, Laser Phaser and Rust Without You.

TFW2005 06-05-2014 04:20 PM Transformers Hero Mashers and Grimlock VS Silver Optimus Battler Masters Set Released   Originally posted by: Sol Fury @ TFW2005.com Quote: Some more Transformers toy sightings to report for you tonight! It's a one-two combo mash-up of sightings with both a new Battle Masters set and the Transformers Hero Mashers reaching US retail! The Battle Masters set is the most movie-themed the Battle Masters series has been so far, with a set of Silver Knight Optimus Prime and Grimlock which like all sets involving Silver Optimus Prime is a Target exclusive. The set lets you use these rock-em sock-em Transformers to recreate the less than friendly terms Optimus and Grimlock will meet under in the new movie. It was spotted at a Target in Fort Wayne, IN. Likewise in Fort Wayne, IN, we have a sighting of the first four releases in the Transformers Hero Mashers series - a series which lets you switch around the limbs of the various toys to create all kinds of Frankenstein-esque mash-ups. The assortment spotted consists of the "standard" releases Drift, Springer, Bumblebee and Starscream, and they retail at $19.99 each. Big thanks to TFW member Rookbartley for the news tip!

TFW2005 06-05-2014 04:20 PM TFW's Generations Tailgate with Groundbuster Gallery Now Online   Originally posted by: Sol Fury @ TFW2005.com Quote: It's time again to share with you another new Transformers toy gallery! This time we have a look at a diminutive little Autobot who has shot to stardom during his tour of the galaxy on board the Lost Light - it's Tailgate, with Groundbuster. Tailgate is, quite simply, a lovely little toy. Originally a Minibot in Generation 1, he has been updated as a new Generations Legend class toy, which puts him at around the size of a Scout, which is a perfect size for the little guy among the Classics toys. He's also spot on for how he looks in the More than Meets the Eye comic, really evoking the look of the character, especially in his face. Poseability is decent, though he's a bit constrained by his vehicle mode parts around the elbows and shoulders which do limit movement a little. Vehicle mode is a sharp looking sports car, with blue flames like the Transformers Prime Cyberverse toy. Tailgate is partnered with Groundbuster, who is loosely based on one of the Generation 1 Construction Patrol Micromasters, Neutro. He evokes a nice Micromaster feel especially with his robot mode design, and would look right at home with the old Construction Patrol or the Sixbuilder Micromasters. His transformation is typically simple for the sidekicks to the Legends toys - he flops forward. The weapon mode transformation and design - a claw - evokes a feel of the Power Core Combiner limbs. The claw mode is an unconventional accessory for a Transformer, but it fits with Tailgate's bomb disposal role in the comic. Groundbuster is an inoffensive figure and a great complement to Tailgate. Tailgate and Groundbuster were recently released in the same assortment as Skrapnel, and are making their way to stores now. He's a must-buy for those wanting to fill-out their Lost Light crew, and I'd warmly recommend everyone check out the little guy. You can start by taking a look at our gallery, linked below: Generations Autobot Tailgate with Groundbuster Original Source: TFW's Generations Tailgate with Groundbuster Gallery Now Online @ Transformers - TFW2005.com.

TFW2005 06-05-2014 10:21 PM BotCon 2014 Souvenirs Possibly Revealed - Flamewar & PRID Transmutate?   Originally posted by: Tony_Bacala @ TFW2005.com Quote: Thanks to two Taobao sellers, we have a look at what is possibly a BotCon 2014 souvenir figure - Flamewar! As seen in these images, she appears to be a redeco of the Beast Hunters Deluxe Arcee mold. Flamewar has been seen as a BotCon offering before, as a redeco of Energon Arcee. This is appropriate, as much like that exclusive, this figure is both a redeco of an Arcee mold, and one that has a crossbow-type weapon. Update: In a strange occurrence, there is also another auction from the same seller on Taobao with a blue/tan recolor of the PRID Arcee mold. It appears to have the same color scheme used for the recent TFCC Transmutate exclusive, which used the FE Arcee mold. What exactly could this be? A mold mix-up? Simply an experiment? Or could it possibly be another attendee figure? Check the images out after the jump, then discuss and speculate on the forums!
