ACtoys has posted our best look so far of the Transformers: Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class Starscream, Dread/Crankcase and the dubbed Human Alliance Basic A.W.E. Striker look-alike.

This time, it seems as though Starscream is properly transformed. Dread looks downright scary (in a good sense). We finally got the answer... Dread's pincers fold away in the vehicle mode. It is amazing what “proper transformation” and “good posing” can do to a toy.

Enjoy the images and leave a comment.

An image has been posted by DotmToys on the /toy/ board of 4Chan (NSFW) of what could well be the new villain of Transformers Dark of the Moon, Shockwave. As you can see from the image, it's a very purple Cybertronian looking tank, similar in style to Megatron's own tank mode in Revenge of the Fallen. Check out the image by clicking on the thumbnail to the left.

We've got a new Transformers toy sighting for you all! We've had two independent reports - with images to back it up - that the next assortment of Transformers Generations featuring Sergeant Kup and Scourge has been released. They were first spotted by NICKBOT at the Gilbert Target in Arizona, and later were also spotted by orionpax636 in the Walnut Creek Target in Northern CA, who kindly provided us with the photo attached to this story. So check out those Targets everyone, they seem to be getting this assortment first! Happy hunting!

A set of new images has appeared on Chinese auction site Taobao, showcasing both Deluxe and Legends class versions of the "Dread" SUV believed to be named Crankcase, and the as-yet unnamed mullet sporting Legends Class Lowe's Nascar. The Deluxe Crankcase images are worth checking out for the nice clear view they give of the robot mode. The Legends Crankcase version pales by comparison, though the Legends Class Nascar looks very cool.

Remember the recent Transformers: Dark of the Moon toy listing? On that list we saw... Deluxe Class Barricade. b-o-t of ACToys has posted what appears to be that particular toy. Continuing the tradition of giant weapons, this toy too seems to be carrying a big Mechtech gun. Is he in the movie? Nobody knows yet. What do you think? First a Legends Class toy and now this. Is he in the movie? Only time can tell. Kudos to Mr. Bay and team for keeping the plot and characters well hidden this time around.

MSN.com has posted what appears to be an accurate listing for future episodes of Transformers Prime. Now, before you all roll your eyes, remember, MSN has been accurate with information on The Hub's other new show in the past, G.I. Joe Renegades, and they generally do not post user edited content, so this list is probably correct.

The new episodes are as follows:

6. Masters & Students - 02-11-2011
Starscream uses a distraction to find something far more intriguing.
7. Scrapheap - 02-18-2011
Bumblebee and Ratchet eliminate a swarm of Scraplets.
8. Con Job - 02-25-2011
9. Convoy - 03-04-2011

Also slated to air once more is the GI Joe & Transformers Behind the Season Special on 02-27-2011.

Some intriguing titles and descriptions for sure - Scraplets? And what could the episode Convoy be about, given Convoy is formerly the Japanese name for Optimus Prime.

Join in the speculation and the anticipation in our Transformers Prime discussion board!

Some new in package images have appeared on Yahoo Japan auctions of what we can safely say are the next wave of three Reveal the Shield Scouts. These new images show front and back of package images of Demolition Rumble, Downshift and Bodyblock, revealing that they are Decepticon, Autobot and Autobot respectively. Does this mean that Deep Dive, the recolor Bodyblock is colored to match with, will also be an Autobot? Well, possibly not, given that Strafe and Sunspot are Autobot and Decepticon respectively, while also being colored to match each other.

2005 boards leader has chimed in with information about an all new upcoming figure for Transformers 3 Dark Of The Moon, Ultimate Optimus Prime!

No pic but

Movie 3 features Optimus Prime driving into battle with his weapon trailer! Trailer converts into mech suit that powers up Optimus Prime. Try me packaging with light and sound. Optimus Prime has several ports to armor up with mechtech weapons from other characters

Not suitable for under 5 years old

2 per carton which means it's at the devastator price point if history repeats itself.

Will this figure surpass the Dark Of The Moon Voyager Optimus Prime that we've been seeing recently, and be on par if not better, than the renowned Revenge Of The Fallen Leader Optimus Prime?

For our latest Transformers Toys Galleries update, I thought I'd share something a bit special with you. These are galleries of the new, not-yet-released-at-US-retail fourth assortment of Power Core Combiners Two Packs - Heavytread with Groundspike and Skyhammer with Airlift. They've recently been released at Canadian retail and at online stores so a US retail release is imminent - so I thought I'd share this collection of images of both of these awesome new toys with you to whet your appetites for them. They are some of the best new toys to come out in Power Core Combiners, working great as both stand alone Scout class toys and also as a part of the wider combiner theme, with excellent poseability and some really nice touches.

But enough of me singing their praises for now. Set aside everything you think about the Power Core Combiners line and check out the new galleries and decide for yourself if these are a "must buy" when you see them hanging from the pegs in the coming weeks:

TFW2005 Power Core Combiners Heavytread with Groundspike Toy Gallery
TFW2005 Power Core Combiners Skyhammer with Airlift Toy Gallery

Enjoy!

Ebay seller DJ-WISO has posted what appears to be an image of the recently seen Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class Jolt in robot mode. From the image it is clear we are dealing with a complete new mold with new more accurate arm designs, plus a very different head, although the legs are now less accurately formed by the front end of the car. Unless of course the image shows an incorrectly transformed robot mode which seems likely, considering that the upper torso is very bulky and barrel chested with a thin lower torso. Time will tell of course. For now, check out the image and share your thoughts on our 2005 Boards!

We've got some more new images of a hot new release in the Transformers line for you. Just released at US retail, it's Wreck-Gar from the Reveal the Shield series. A nice faithful update to his Generation 1 persona, the Autobot Beautification Campaigner looks badass whichever mode he is in. Check out our exclusive high-resolution gallery, kindly donated to our Transformers Toy Galleries by 2005 Boards member thedrknss48.
