We've got another new gallery for you all today - this time out it's the Reveal the Shield Battle in Space Two-Pack, courtesy once again of 2005 Boards member thedrknss48. This set includes Rodimus and Cyclonus, each upgraded with color schemes based more closely on the way they looked on the cartoon series. Hot Rod - sorry, Rodimus - looks particularly bright and dynamic in this deco, though Cyclonus also looks more vibrant. If you missed out on the earlier Challenge at Cybertron set, these are the same great decos from that set, only with additional rubsigns (and without Galvatron).

Check out the images, complete with comparisons of their other incarnations and characters you might consider displaying them with, by clicking on the links below:

Stay tuned for more galleries - we've got some Decepticons to hunt and more shields to reveal!

Big Bad Toy Store sent us and update, here are the key Transformers points from the newsletter.

TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS - WARPATH CASE
While this wave brings us only 1 new figure - Warpath - it is packed with fantastic molds including Wheeljack, Thundercracker, Kup, and Scourge. We have Cases at $104.99, as well as sets and a few singles. Pricing on Singles is higher than we'd like because there are only 2 pieces of the new figure in the case.

MP-09 MASTERPIECE RODIMUS PRIME
The long-awaited next entry in the Masterpiece series has arrived. This Transformer has the ability to change between Hot Rod and Rodimus in both robot and vehicle modes with his included trailer, and he also has weapons, the Matrix of Leadership and more. We have this figure listed at $209.99 and is a great addition to any Transformers collection.

Hasbro-Discovery Hub is revealing more stuff regarding the upcoming Transformers: Prime Episode #6; Masters & Students.

First, Hub revealed a Flash based Tower Defense genre game called “Terrorcon Defence”.

The game was quickly followed by two clips from the upcoming episode.

Now… Meet Skyquake, a Decepticon attack jet. Entombed in stasis on Earth until exhumed by Starscream; however, pledges allegiance to only his ‘one true master,’ Megatron.

Transformers: Prime returns to The Hub next Friday, February 11th at 6:30 P.M.

MTV News was lucky enough to chat recently with two of the men behind Transformers: Prime, executive producers Bob Orci (co-writer of the first two Bay Transformers movies) and Jeff Kline, wherein they revealed how much they pay attention to what fans have to say, and what impact it has on their work.
</div>"The uprising in terms of when we were doing the movie, for Arcee, seeing once we looked at all the comments in the aggregate, it felt like we missed the boat," Orci recalled. "One thing we wanted to do, we actually had Arcee in the first draft of the movie and the consensus was 'Well, it's weird enough that there are talking cars and robots, we don't want to confuse people with a gender switch.'"

Next up, the newest addition to our Transformers Toy Galleries is none other than Reveal the Shield Solar Storm Grappel! Grappel, or Grapple if you're a fan of Generation 1 like me, is a heavily remolded version of Universe Inferno, with some very pleasing alterations that set him apart from Inferno and make him visually distinct. He's big and chunky, and you don't really feel the lack of a weapon all that much as he's got his huge crane arm as a battering ram - and, in a very pleasing remold, he can also equip the clip system weapons!

Be sure to check out our extensive gallery of this master builder - we've got plenty of views of both the robot and vehicle mode for you, in box images, plus extensive comparison shots with Inferno showing all the remolded parts - arms, legs, panels on the vehicle mode and even the remolded clip system rails on the shoulders.
