E-Hobby have updated their site with the official images of the upcoming Tokyo Toy Show exclusive Optimus Prime and Megatron Darkside Versions. The pair will be sold as a set at the Tokyo Toy Show 2011 in June 2011, with whatever stock remains being sold on E-Hobby after the event, as has been the case with past Tokyo Toy Show Exclusives. These new pictures give us a nice and clear look at both of these new decos on the War for Cybertron versions of Optimus Prime and Megatron - who look like Nemesis Prime and Dark Energon / Shadow Blade Megatron, respectively.

Thanks to Chinese Transformers forum, HK-TF, we have a nice set of images for the upcoming Dark of the Moon Air Raid figure. This item may look a little familiar as we have seen the base mold before in ROTF Thrust and Breakaway, but there is a little bit of retooling going on here.

Another great piece of news coming to you from the Allspark today - the Transformers Unite for the Universe comics have been translated! The first four parts of the five part saga was initially released with the Movie Masterpiece series releases, while the fifth part was not released until Transformers Generations 2011 collected all five parts. The series is written by Simon Furman and features art by Guido Guidi, with colors by Tommaso Renieri. The Allspark's NightViper, Lonegamer8 and Powered Convoy came together to provide us with this excellent translated version of the story. Be sure to check it out - it features lots of later series toy-only characters, including Bludgeon and Seaspray!

Our fellow fans over at The Allspark have interviewed the legendary Transformers writer Simon Furman about the proposed revival of the original Marvel Comics Transformers series, which lasted 80 issues. If you have not already done so, sign the petition here and show your support.

If you need some convincing, here are some key points of what Simon would bring into the series should IDW decide to greenlight it:

- The story would be called "War to End All Wars"
- The creative team that worked together on the story are Andy Schmidt, Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman.
- The story begins 20 years from when issue 80 ended (i.e. now) and Earth has been at peace. The Autobots let their guard down, and as a result a catastrophe happens on Earth.
- The book will focus on the core cast of characters
- Optimus will be mentoring Hot Rod. He sees a potential in Hot Rod that the other Autobots don't see.
- The story will be a single arc, leaving room for additional arcs afterward if sales are good.
- Elements introduced in the G2 comics will come into play in additional arcs.

Many thanks to Might Gaine of our 2005 Boards for providing the keypoint summary.

We have received the Diamond Comics Shipping list for next week's comics from the ever-informative D-Drive. Next week the road to Chaos continues with the second part of Space Opera in Transformers Ongoing 20.

The Transformers Vault is also on the shipping list, and the new month brings with it a huge amount of Transformers toys arriving in comics stores through Diamond. Most of it has been out since 16 May, but it's also got some of the harder to find items such as Cyberverse Powerglide and Blackout, so you might want to check the independent shops that order through Diamond if you can't find these at regular retail.

TRANSFORMERS ONGOING #20 (& it's incentive)
Mike Costa (w) o Guido Guidi (a) o Marcelo Matere, Guido Guidi (c)

Through a series of misunderstandings, Rodimus and his two strange new partners arrive on a planet we haven't visited in a long time, and meet a few other 'bots everyone thought were lost forever. Those are a lot of vague words, because this issue has a TON of surprises. Check them out in SPACE OPERA Part 2.

We've got another new Transformers toy release for you tonight! This time out we have the Scan Series, the Toys R Us Exclusive Dark of the Moon assortment of Autobots in the middle of scanning their vehicle modes. More specifically, it's wave 1 of the Scan series, featuring Ironhide and Sideswipe - the other two in the set, Bumblebee and Ratchet are evidently part of a later assortment, as both Ironhide and Sideswipe are shipping in equal numbers in each case. San Antonio TX based raiden225005 made the sighting.

Check out "Everything" if you want a quick glimpse at a new character, the Autobot Mirage who transforms into a red Ferrari Italia. He's got some pretty mean looking arm mounted blades - perhaps him and Sideswipe will slice and dice some Decepticons together?
