Today's Featured Ebay Auction comes courtesy of 2005 Boards member ChristianTroy. It is a set of 6 mint on sealed cards (MOSC) Generation 1 Constructicons. The figures have been AFA Graded between 85 & 90. Regardless of your feelings on AFA Grading, these are beautiful carded figures.

So check out the Transformers G1 Constructicon DEVASTATOR MOSC AFA 85 90, and why not see all of sonofayoda's auctions, where he currently has over 20 AFA Graded figures for auction.

According to 2005 boards member Ricochet, numerous reports on various Japanese BBS' have stated that the Optimus Prime(Unite for the Universe) Megatron(Unite for the Universe) figures might be canceled. The reports state that Toys R Us Japan has canceled the preorders for these items due to them being discontinued by TakaraTomy.

Being that the Jetfire carcass/armor was an all new mold, chances are we may see it again; eventually. When is the question. This is a rumor for now, but lending credibility to this is 2005 board member influence82's report that his preorders with TRU Japan for the items in question have been canceled too. Hit the discuss button and keep your eyes peeled for more confirmation!

Transformers Animated has been released at retail in Japan! The first assortment of the line, consisting of the five main Autobots and Decepticons Starscream and Megatron. All seven were purchased by Masabon of our 2005 Boards, who has also shared with us scans of the tech spec cards that accompany each of the toys. The Tech Spec cards as previously reported interact with a Transformers Animated arcade game being produced by Sega.

Also released in Japan are the campaign exclusive Revenge of the Fallen EZ Collection toys, Infiltrator Soundwave, Defender Optimus Prime and Shanghai Attack Demolishor.

The Tokyo International Anime Fair is being held in Japan this weekend, and as expected, Takara Tomy has a strong presence showing off their whole Transformers Animated product line. The main line toys are all on display, both the recently released first assortment, and the second assortment which includes Lugnut, Blitzwing, Soundwave, Arcee and Shockwave.

Also on display is a color image of the super deformed (big head) keychains, more information on the Transformers Animated Battle Wheels, and Sega's Transformers Animated "The Chase" arcade game. The cabinet includes a card slot for players to swipe the tech spec cards that come with the toys, presumably to unlock new game modes or characters. A selection of additional cards were on display, including Megatron and Soundwave in vehicle mode, and most significantly, a card for Generation 1 Optimus Prime (Convoy) with his trailer, using a photo of Masterpiece Convoy Perfect Edition.

Does this mean that Generation 1 Convoy might be a "secret character" in the Sega game?

In this issue, Optimus Prime and Spike Witwicky have a heart to heart talk which could change the direction of human - Transformer relations - assuming of course that a big development in Hot "Call me Rodimus Prime" Rod's camp does not stomp them flat first.

Check out the full preview by clicking on the link above and be sure to check back later this week for TFW's exclusive review of this issue (and then make sure you go out and buy it when it hits the stands)

Our sister site Cybertron.CA reports that the Toys R Us exclusive Masterpiece Grimlock might be stomping his way onto toy shelves sooner than you think! They report that Grimlock's Canadian release could be as early as the end of April or the beginning of May - little more than a month away! Could this mean that the US release is also mere weeks away?

Animation cel's aren't as rare as they once were. If you know where to look, you can find them fairly easily. Even at various shows and conventions, you're likely to come across one or two. What is rare is to find those "perfect shots". The single shot that may have defined a particular scene.

Today, for our Featured Ebay Auction, we have one of those perfect shots. Check out the Optimus Prime Transformers the Movie Animation Cel from seller optimus235711.

In a recent Q&A session with The Intergalactic Highway, David Kaye has confirmed that he will not be lending his voice acting talents to the new Transformers series, Transformers Prime.

Q: Has there ever been a role you didn’t get that you were really disappointed about?

A: Ya funny enough. ANYTHING in the new Transformer series. But hey I’ve had a great long run and it’s a new deal for the creators of the new show and it’s a clean slate but I have to admit I was sad to see it go. That’s show business folks There’ve been a couple of animated features too, also Star Wars and even the new Transformer films
