Shockwave's Fusion Tank and Ratchet's Lunar Crawler have been released in Singapore. These next two releases in the Cyberverse Plus Action Set Assortment give us the debut of Shockwave in the Cyberverse, as well as a cool lunar version of Ratchet with the lunar rover robot seen during his moon trip sequence in Transformers Dark of the Moon. With these now hitting retail over in Singapore, how long will it be before the US release follows? Stay tuned to TFW2005 for more release news.

2005 Boards member Gaokaiser dropped by to share with us an image of an advertisement for a new Bic Camera exclusive Transformer. Dark Steel, who will be called Dark Iron on his US release, will be released in Japan as a Bic Camera exclusive item. Don't worry US fans, he will still be a general release as a part of Wave 5 as well - this promotion is like the old "USA editions" of days gone past.
Additionally, this advert marks the first publicly available image of Dark Iron / Dark Steel. As revealed at Botcon he's a retooled version of Sideswipe in black and teal, who gains a lot of yellow in robot mode. He also wields a recolor of Starscream's MechTech weapon! The new head is unfortunately not very easy to see on this image. He's supposed to be a Beast Wars Quickstrike homage, how well do you think he pulls this style off? |

Today we've got a fresh look at the Japan-only Supreme class entry into the Dark of the Moon line - Jetwings Optimus Prime. This gigantic toy is a remold of the acclaimed Revenge of the Fallen Buster Optimus Prime with a gigantic flight pack to recreate the spectacular scenes from the final battle in Chicago at the end of Transformers Dark of the Moon. How does it stack up to its Supreme Class pricetag? Check out 2005 Content Staff member SydneyY's review (and extensive images) by reading on!

On the last Hasbro-Press Meeting, Brian Goldner; the President and CEO of Hasbro mentioned that profits were low due to the fact that there were no Transformers Live Action Movies to boost the toy sales. But, now that there is one… guess? Oh yes! Here comes profit!
Hasbro issued a press release mentioning… "As expected, top line momentum in our business began to build during the quarter, led by strong gains in the TRANSFORMERS brand, driven by TRANSFORMERS: Dark of the Moon, and BEYBLADE, as well as continued double-digit growth in the International segment," Goldner said. "We have continued to make important investments in our business which will help drive both top and bottom line growth in the future. In the third quarter we are launching key new initiatives, including the global introduction of KRE-O, our new construction brand, the addition of the SESAME STREET brand to our preschool business, and innovative new products in core brands such as FURREAL FRIENDS and LITTLEST PET SHOP." But most of the profit from the third movie will be counted for the third quarter. Licensing revenue associated with TRANSFORMERS: Dark of the Moon will begin to be recorded in the third quarter 2011. Read the entire Press Release after the jump. |

UK based online retailer Play.com have updated their website with images of what is potentially the box of the Transformers Dark of the Moon DVD and Blu Ray. Here's the but you are probably expecting - the illustrations on the pages are "subject to change" so the cover for the home formats release may end up being a bit different to this.
That being said, potentially this is our first look at Transformers Dark of the Moon's cover for the home formats release - check out the links below and see what you think. DVD Version Blu Ray Version |

An image has surfaced online of the Dark of the Moon Shockwave recolor in robot mode. This alternate version of Shockwave as many of you anticipated has mostly gray arms and legs, with a purple chest and head. It's certainly a striking design that is probably a reference to Astro Magnum or Animated Shockwave, but will fans embrace it or leap for the more traditionally colored one already on shelves?

Image comes to your courtesy of Ebayer riflescopeshop who claims it is a Japanese version. |

Hasbro just sent us the Official Press Release regarding their San Diego Comic-Con 2011 plans.
Giving fans a peek behind the curtain and an inside look into what’s coming in the future for many of its entertainment brands, Hasbro’s SDCC 2011 Transformers lineup of panels and autograph sessions follows:
NERF N-STRIKE TRANSFORMERS BARRICADE OPTIMUS PRIME RV-10 Blaster (Ages 6 years & up; Approx. Retail Price: $24.99) Introducing the special edition NERF N-STRIKE TRANSFORMERS BARRICADE OPTIMUS PRIME RV-10 blaster, a motorized, semi-auto NERF blaster with revolving dart barrel that holds up to 10 whistle darts. The blaster features an exclusive new deco with TRANSFORMERS detailing, styled after the OPTIMUS PRIME character. The NERF N-STRIKE TRANSFORMERS BARRICADE OPTIMUS PRIME RV-10 blaster is compatible with the NERF Tactical Rail System and accessories (each sold separately). Requires three “AA” batteries; not included. TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON SPECIAL EDITION ULTIMATE OPTIMUS PRIME FIGURE (Ages: 5 & up; Approximate Retail Price: $79.99) Fans will have their first chance to get their hands on the new TRANSFORMERS MECHTECH ULTIMATE OPTIMUS PRIME action figure at Comic-Con, with a special edition foil-wrapped, slide-out package and customizable sticker sheet. This special edition ULTIMATE OPTIMUS PRIME will be the only way to get the figure displayed in vehicle and trailer mode; the trailer doubles as a weapons arsenal and is an integral part of the figure's converting play pattern. The MECHTECH ULTIMATE OPTIMUS PRIME figure features lights, launching projectiles, electronic battle sounds and phrases and three modes of conversion – vehicle, robot, and robot with "mech suit." The trailer, which serves as a weapons depot and command center, also converts into a "mech suit" that OPTIMUS PRIME shows off when it's time to rumble. TRANSFORMERS PRIME OPTIMUS PRIME FIRST EDITION FIGURE (Ages: 5 & up; Approximate Retail Price: $19.99) With the mainline series not available until later in 2011, be among the first to get an action figure based on the style of The Hub's hit animated series, TRANSFORMERS PRIME with this special edition figure. This deluxe class OPTIMUS PRIME figure converts from robot to truck mode and features a premium deco only available in this special edition Comic-Con figure. And, in true TRANSFORMERS fashion, the “Matrix of Leadership” packaging in which the figure is housed ‘converts’ into a wearable piece! Read the entire Press Release, after the jump. Make sure to visit TFW2005. Our staff is getting ready as we speak to bring you the latest news from the SDCC 2011 as it happens. |

A GMC Topkick Ironhide Edition, Camaro Bumblebee Edition, Skids, and even Mudflap, showing Transformers universal appeal, Shanghai-GM plan to release a Chevrolet Cruze Special Edition mimicking the changes found stateside in the Bumblebee Camaro. Even though not used as an movie-verse character, assorted badges in and out alongside black racing stripes try to bring the Cruze into the Bay-verse cloning Sam's best friend in a cheaper package. The Cruze Turbo retails for 160,000rmb in China but it is still not known how much the Transformers package will tack on the price.

Transformers Prime concept artist Jose Lopez has shared some rare behind the scenes material of a pair of Transformers Prime characters - Wheeljack and Starscream. These concepts show the characters at an earlier stage of their design. Key elements to note from these designs is that Starscream has a lot more bulk to his build on this design compared to his lean finalised design. Wheeljack equally has a bit more mass to him - he's distinctly less sleek than the Drift inspired version in the show.

Our friends and sponsors at TFSource have posted some new images of the WST Military Transport aka WST Astrotrain on their Facebook gallery. This trio of new images shows off a prototype in shuttle mode - we can see from these images that the die-cast content will be roughly consistent with the original, being concentrated in the legs.
