A whole bunch of new, in hand images of Dark of the Moon Sentinel Prime have been posted on ACToys (and a few more here, also on ACToys). These new images show Sentinel in his robot and vehicle mode, in and out of packaging, and give some size comparisons with the Revenge of the Fallen leaders. Also, if I am reading that correctly, he's got SFX and his voice chip says "I am Sentinel Prime". Check out the images by clicking on the link above, or check out our mirror by reading on.

The other half of the Autobot brothers from Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is confirmed to be getting a Deluxe Class toy for Dark of the Moon! Autobot Mudflap is back, like Skids he gets a new mold and a new Mechtech weapon. He first popped up, vehicle mode only shown, in an ebay auction from seller kiditoys. Next up, we have this thread on ACToys from poster sipannuolisi over there, which shows off the robot mode (although the arm seems to be transformed wrong in those images). Check out all the images compiled handily in this one post for your enjoyment, or click on the above links to visit the original sources!

Over the last couple of days, more images have been filtering through of Dark of the Moon's Laserbeak. Like Ravage before him, Laserbeak does not have a robot mode - he has his mechanical bird mode, and a high tech bird jet mode. Plus gigantic gatling cannon weapons which look to be interchangeable so you can give them to your other Transformers to upgrade their arsenals. The initial new picture popped up on Ebay - thanks to the boards members who alerted us to that - and then some more new images appeared on Taobao and ACToys, including a higher res version of the Ebay picture. Check them all out by clicking on the links above, or get them all in one convenient place by reading on!

Today, we are revisiting a Generation 1 item we had previously featured. However, it's an item that simply doesn't come around too often. For our Featured Ebay Auction, we have a rare Transformers G1 Optimus Prime Cookie Jar. While the box is a bit dented, the cookie jar itself looks to be in excellent condition.

I'd like to kick off this update of Japanese themed Transformers with a brief PSA. Doubtless you all know about the ongoing crisis situation in Japan following the 8.9 magnitude earthquake, tsunami and explosion at the Fukushima reactor. I urge you all to take a moment to remember all those who have lost loved ones and livelihoods, and to keep in mind those who may still be in danger. If you want to help, please give whatever you can spare to the International Red Cross. Every little helps them to continue their vital work, more so now than ever in Japan's hour of need.


With that in mind, let us take a look at some of our latest gallery additions, brought to us by 2005 Photo staff member SydneyY. This update is all about the Japanese Transformers United releases of the Reveal the Shield and Generations toys. For your enjoyment this day we have pictures of United Lugnut, United Jazz and United Tracks, plus United Cybertronian Megatron and United Cybertronian Soundwave. Do they measure up to their US counterparts? Comparison images are present for some galleries thanks to 2005 Photo staff member Trailbreaker77 to help you make that call!

Check out the galleries by clicking on the links below:

Transformers United Lugnut
Transformers United Jazz
Transformers United Tracks
Transformers United Cybertronian Megatron
Transformers United Cybertronian Soundwave

As an added bonus, we have some other Takara-Tomy releases to share with you. From their Transformers Animated line, we have the one and only Animated Blackout! The big guy was only released in Japan, and you can check out his gallery right here! Also of interest, we have the Family Mart Exclusive EZ Collection Bumblebee. The Family Mart Exclusive EZ Collection toys were only available in a lottery held by Family Mart in Japan last year, they were the fourth prize so are quite rare and it's a real privilege to be able to bring these images to you. For both these slices of Transformers Animated goodness, once again you have SydneyY to thank! Check out the images by clicking below:

We just received a surprising Press Release from Hasbro.

It says on the press release that Hasbro and Jagex enter strategic development agreement to create a new Transformers Online Game.

Under the agreement, the two companies are slated to launch the TRANSFORMERS online game in 2012 in North America, Latin America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia.

Just when you think you’ve seen everything, something like this shows-up. ACToys has posted an image showing a new Deluxe Bumblebee, Ironhide and Ratchet in the middle of… errr… your guess is good as mine.

Anyway, interestingly enough, the toys look as though they are Trans-scanning, Transwarping or Turning Invisible (or something altogether different).

The origin of this image is unknown. Till the authenticity is proven, keep it as a rumor or a custom.

If this is indeed part of the Transformers: Dark of the Moon toyline, it'll be interesting to see what's down the line.

ACToys has posted some up-close images of Transformers: Dark of the Moon Laserbeak; minion to Soundwave.

The toy comes with retractable wings and TFW2005 members speculate that from the looks, it is as if the toy has a vehicle form after all.

We’ve seen him thanks to the Superbowl spot and hopefully will have a role similar as Ravage (ROTF).

Few hours ago, we broke the news of an upcoming MMO Video Game by Jagex on behalf of Hasbro.

Online game magazine, Kotaku has contacted Jagex to findout more about this game. What they wanted to know was “What continuity this game is based on?” Jagex public relations has answered… “Transformers: Prime”.

This raises a lot of possibilities. It is clear that Hasbro is mainly focusing on "Transformers: Prime” TV Series after the end of Michael Bay Movie Series. (Dark of the Moon hitting theaters this July 1st).

MMO based on Prime continuity might mean the overall environment will expand… it’ll have mythos and a wide variety of characters of its own (World of Warcraft and Matrix: Online are perfect examples).

This looks like good news to all the Transformers: Prime fans. Even the movie fans will have something to look forward to after the ending of the trilogy.

If you have something to say about this future development, click on the discuss button and share your valuable views.

Ahead of his video review, 2005 Boards member Peaugh has shared with us a couple of in-hand images of the upcoming Transformers Dark of the Moon Leader Class Sentinel Prime! These images include the character's bio, which paints him very much as a King Arthur type of character, risen up to help the Autobots in their hour of need.

SENTINEL PRIME is a legendary warrior, thought lost long ago. The strength of his will and the power of his sword are spoken of in reverent whispers by AUTOBOT and DECEPTICON alike. Now that he has returned, the final defeat of MEGATRON and the DECEPTICONS is assured.

We just received another Press Release from Hasbro. This time it’s the official reveal of “Transformers: Dark of the Moon 16 Weeks of Cyber Sweeps”. We’ve been updating you with the news... before it appeared anywhere else. Now it’s the official announcement.

Now, before we move onto the Press Release, there is something that need some attention; Nick Kids Choice Awards 2011. With the latest press release, we do get a hint of some sort of DOTM activity at the KCA 2011.

Take a look at the Press Release after the jump.

Yahoo Auctions, Japan has posted our first Robot Mode look of Transformers: Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class Nitro Bumblebee.

The mold is similar to the previously seen DOTM Deluxe Bumblebee, but the overall look is different due to the attached boosters and a missing rear spoiler.

The Mechtech gun is different as well. On top of the hood of Bee’s vehicle mode, the weapon looks as though it resembles a Supercharger.

Take a look at the mirrored images, after the jump.
