While all attention is currently on Transformers Prime (episode 4 today! Whoo!) Simon Furman has continued to post summaries of the story of how Transformers Energon would have ended. Issue 32 would have kicked off the first part of the "Armageddon" plotline heralding the beginning of the end. Starscream would finally have made his appearance in a very different role to how he was in the cartoon series, Alpha Quintesson's scheme would take shape, and the treachery of Avalon would cost one character - and perhaps all Cybertron - dearly.

Check out the latest summaries here:

Transformers Energon Issue 32 Part 1 - Armaggedon Part 1
Transformers Energon Issue 32 Part 2 - Armaggedon Part 1
Transformers Energon Issue 33 Part 1 - Armaggedon Part 2

And also be sure to check out the previous issue summaries (if you have not done so already)

As always, major props to Simon Furman for giving us fans a chance to find out how this series would have concluded!

TFClub has revealed yet another Transformers Toy. This time it’s Power Core Combiners: Salvage with Bomb-Burst.

Bio:
"Salvage has gone through a lot since the Allspark first brought him to life. A few rounds of upgrades brought his vehicle mode into the modern era, and the power core process powered him up to unheard of levels. He'd still rather be back at the junkyard, but if the Decepticons want a fight, he's ready to give them one."

The latest set of unlicensed custom not-Transformers from Perfect Effect have been released. Ninja VS Kingbat is a VS set of Perfect Effect's take on Kiss Players Position Rosanna and Generation 1 Ratbat.

Now for the real news here! The newly released boxed set carries a couple of images on the back advertising Perfect Effect's upcoming products. Shown on the left of the boxback is the Perfect Effect PX-04 Ultimate Form (mispelled as From), a set of four unofficial homages to Eject, Rewind, Sundor and Howlback. The set probably also includes the recently shown Backpack add-on, given the City Commander shoulder attachments are pictured on the back. There are also what look like sword attachments for The Sun and The Moon, probably color variations of the sword with Kingbat.

Also seen as initial artwork is Scouting Force X, a Generation 1 style take on Reflector. This unofficial custom Transformer set indicates that Perfect Effect is working on three robots who will combine to form the camera, and will also include a large amount of accessories. Stay tuned for more news and images as it becomes available.

Initial report comes to us courtesy of Red leader of Kapow Toys. Images originally posted by Cheem the Rup and joshua of our 2005 Boards, with the high resolution images you see here originally posted on Toynova and linked to us by 2005 Boards member Peaugh.

Naughty
01 – Not Naughty At All
