There's a long established tradition of taking Optimus Prime and repainting him in white with blue highlights as Ultra Magnus - and Takara-Tomy's Alternity line is no different! Exclusively available at the TF China Carnival in Shanghai and Chara Hobby 2010 in Japan over the summer, Alternity Ultra Magnus is a cool white redeco of the Alternity Convoy design. Here today for your enjoyment we have a gallery showing off this Autobot in all his glory, courtesy of TFW2005 Photo Staff member SydneyY!

We are pretty sure that all of you remember how we announced the Transformers: Hunt For The Decepticons campaign for the first time. On that day, we revealed some upcoming packs called “Most Wanted” for the said campaign (containing a special code inside). We later saw them at the San Diego Comic Con 2010.

Now, Hasbro has decided to update their website with the official images of the Transformers: Hunt For The Decepticons Most Wanted packs. You will find THE VICTORY OF THE FALLEN, CONSTRUCTICON DEVASTATOR, ROTORWASH RUMBLE, HUNTERS RUMBLE, HIGH-SPEED SPY BATTLE, CRASH LANDING ATTACK, RAMPAGE AMONG THE RUINS, DESERT RUINS BRAWL, THE FURY OF BONECRUSHER, STARSCREAM’S ASSAULT, BOMBING RUN BATTLE pack at their website.

The HFTD toyline is old news, we know. But, let’s share some memories of the line before heading-off to the “Reveal The Shield” campaign beginning somewhere very early next year. “Reveal The Shield” will focus mainly on the Generations line, where the Transformers fans can take a break from the movie products and enjoy the toys from early continuities. You can buy these HFTD and Generation toys via our sponsors.

We end this news article with Wreck-Gar’s famous quote:
“Yes, friends, act now! Destroy Unicron! Kill the Grand Poobah! Eliminate even the toughest stains!”

KOToys have posted a selection of galleries of new toys over the past few days. Foremost among them is a gallery of Voyager Class Lugnut, who is an update of the Transformers Animated character crossed with a World War II / Cold War era flying fortress.

Also featured in this update is Voyager Class Strafe who is a redeco of Revenge of the Fallen Mindwipe / Tokyo Toy Show Dreadwing, inspired by the Generation 1 Strafe. These images show Strafe docked with Sunspot, which reveal that these two are not the dynamic pairing that Mindwipe and Skystalker were, although the colors still gel nicely.

Also posted earlier this week but overlooked were galleries of Reveal the Shield Tracks and Mindset. Mindset is an Autobot redeco of Hailstorm with a new head, these images include comparisons of both heads. Decide for yourself which of the two you prefer.

And to top it all off there's a gallery of Takara-Tomy's Autobot Alliance Seaspray, which swaps out the gold of the first release for a more Generation 1 accurate yellow. There's some comparisons of the two posted, decide for yourself which of the two you prefer.

Thanks to Amazon (again) we have with us the official description of “Transformers 3 Push-Pops Board Book” published by Reader's Digest and illustrated by Alex Miline.

Nothing major, we already know most of the things. But, there is a “shocking” G1 reference… Read-on by clicking on the Title of this news article.

Nothing major, we already know most of the things. But, there is a “shocking” G1 reference… Spoilers:

"The Autobots Bumblebee, Ratchet, Ironhide and Sideswipe led by Optimus Prime, are back in action, taking on the evil Decepticons, who are determined to avenge their defeat in 2009’s Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. In this new movie, the Autobots and Decepticons become involved in a perilous space race between the U.S. and Russia, and once again human Sam Witwicky has to come to the aid of his robot friends. There's new characters too, including a new villain in the form of Shockwave, a longtime "Transformers" character who rules Cybertron while the Autobots and Decepticons battle it out on Earth."

Now you might be thinking big deal, we saw this set back at Botcon, and you would be correct - except before now, we've only known this would be a store exclusive set. Now we can reveal from this listing that this set will be an exclusive to Target stores in the US.

Shane McCarthy, that lovely fellow who wrote the critically acclaimed (both good and bad) All Hail Megatron series for IDW Publishing, as well as created the new Autobot character with the Decepticon background starring in his own Spotlight series, Drift, has done something pretty rare - he's decided to share the basic look of what a comic script looks like.

This is a rare treat for those fans who love to write fan-fiction or hope to someday write for a comic publisher. You can see that while Shane McCarthy does call for specifics in each panel, he leaves the artist plenty of freedom in designing the overall artwork in each panel.

You can click here to go to Shane McCarthy's blog post and then follow the link within to download the .rtf (Rich Text Format) version of the script.

A pair of new images have surfaced, showing off some more of what Perfect Effect have in store in the coming months. The first image shows the PX-04 Ultimate Form group of Ejector, Rewinder, The Sun and The Night, based on Generation 1 Autobot cassettes Eject and Rewind, Kiss Players Position Sundor, and E-Hobby Cobalt Sentry Decepticon Howlback respectively.

Also shown is a thin strip of an image showing the feet of a set called Scouting Force X, with a wide variety of accessories. No idea what this one could be, but there's three sets of feet barely visible at the very top of the image, so at the very least it looks like some sort of team or three pack.

Remember the Perfect Effect releases are "adult collectibles" intended for mature collectors and not children, and that they are in no way endorsed by Hasbro.

Is the filming of Transformers: The Dark Of The Moon over? That is the question.

According to TFLAMB... “Even though current, but limited knowledge, indicates that Transformers: The Dark of the Moon is no longer filming in the states, the image (to the left) taken by Denise T. shows Ironhide and Ratchet as they were transported on Monday around noon through Phoenix, Arizona in Eastbound lane. More than likely the destination is wherever the TFs are stored when no longer being used for filming or promotional use but maybe more is being done in LA.”

According to the planned schedule, Transformers 3 was supposed to end filming mid October… and this is mid October. Though some say that the International filming is still to be done, many actors (supporting) Tweeted that International Filming went simultaneously with US Filming. But there’s no proof other than the Tweets. Nelson at the S4TE once stated that “International locations and dates are not being released due to security issues”.

If you know more about these matters or if you can get a glimpse that the filming still continues, tell us about it by hitting the Discuss Button.

If the filming is indeed over, then all we have to do is to wait for the List of robots like last time and more importantly… The Transformers 3 Teaser Trailer. When do you think that a Transformers 3 Trailer be out? And what do you expect from the trailer? Do tell us by visiting the Transformers 3 Trailer Discussion.

A new image has appeared on ACToys.net of the second toy in the MGT female not-Transformers robot series. She is based on Firestar, a member of Elita-1's cadre of female Autobot guerillas fighting against Shockwave's domination of Cybertron in the classic Generation 1 cartoon episode "The Search for Alpha Trion".

No further details are available at this time, but if the first MGT release - Delicate Warrior aka Arcee - is anything to go by, expect this to be distributed as an iGear partner product and to cost somewhere in the region of $100.

Remember, this is a completely unofficial release and is neither made by or authorised by Hasbro or Takara-Tomy. It like all third party custom pieces is an adult collectible and should not be given to children under 15.
