Quick note from Auto Assembly via Sol Fury - Jagex announced that in the upcoming Transformers Universe MMO, a character named Flamewar will be in it. Design is similar to the Prime style we saw at Botcon 2011, with overall aesthetics similar to the Botcon 2005 toy.

We now have a name for Episode 21 of Transformers: Prime.

Episode #21 : T.M.I.

This writer’s best guess is that it stands for "Too Much Information" which fits perfectly with what happens in the episode.

“The Decepticons hunt Bulkhead down when he gains possession of the secret formula for synthetic Energon.”

The episode ia originally intended to release on 10th September, 2011 but Canada’s Teletoon channel aired the episode more than 1 month ahead of the schedule.

3rd Party group Mastermind Creations has uploaded two color schemes for their upcoming Terminus Hexatron figure to their Facebook page. The group is asking for fans opinions for the figure's first color scheme. The first image shows Hexatron in a traditional Generation 1 deco titled "Civil War:Format". The 2nd color scheme called "WWI: Format" is similar to the G1 deco but with more muted colors and a neon glow to certain areas ala War For Cybertron. There are two more decos, "Ghost" and "Shattered", have not been revealed yet, so keep it here and when new images become available we'll post them.

What do you think of this figure in his proposed color schemes? Let us know in the discussion thread after the jump.

There is an element which Hasbro should (and I’m sure they are) be proud of. An element which helped them to keep the Transformers Franchise going since its inception back in 1984. An element which demands, debates, appraise and even help taking the third Michael Bay Transformers Live Action Movie to become the 5th Highest Grossing Movie Of All-Time. This element therefore is the most valuable part of the franchise… The Fans.

Transformer Peru is a group which started back in 2003 and grew to be an association recognized by the Peru Government. Their dedication, hard work has led them to become a cultural aspect of their country, something we all as Transformers Fans should be proud of.

You can take a look at what they have done to make Transformers: Dark of the Moon, a success in Peru and appreciate their hard work, over at the thread 2005 Boards Member Neo-Bombshell has shared with us.

TFW2005 wish them all success and a wonderful future ahead. Good luck guys, keep-up the good work!

A few days ago, we broke news about an upcoming Mastermind Creations exclusive repaint based on Shattered Glass Optimus Prime. TFW2005's very own Vangelus (who does a little podcast for the site called WTF@TFW) visited Cherry Bomb Toys to talk (as well as take review footage) about the upcoming third-party toy, which is exclusive to the 8th Annual Victoria's Ultimate Toy and Hobby Fair, through Cherry Bomb Toys. There will be only 500 of this item made, 200 of which are special bundles with a special axe made by Renderform. There is also a non-attendee version, that will ship after the show itself.

While the USA might be waiting until September for new Transformers Prime episodes, Canada is steaming ahead! Last week Teletoon aired T.M.I., episode 21 of Transformers Prime. This weekend, they aired episode 22, for which we currently have no title.

Fans of Ratchet (or his voice actor Jeffrey Combs), you'll be pleased - this episode gives him plenty to do.

Here's something a little unusual. Remember how the Sharkticons in the 1986 Transformers movie - 25 years old this month! - came in vast hordes? Hong Kong fan group Transformers Galaxy appears to be playing follow the leader on the Sharkticon front, as they have posted a couple of images of scores of miniature non-transforming Sharkticons. Perfect for showing large crowds of the things. No idea if it is them or another group making these, nor how many there will be, prices or anything like that. As always, more information will be posted when it becomes available.

A small gallery of the Toys R Us Japan exclusive Darkside Optimus Prime has been posted by Alfes on his blog. This rather cool little toy is a reworking of the Legends class toy from Revenge of the Fallen, done in the Robots in Disguise Scourge colors and using that nice smokey clear plastic. This cool piece was available with purchases of 3,000 yen or more on Dark of the Moon toys, while stocks lasted.

Another Dark of the Moon Voyager Shockwave redeco has popped up on Ebay seller RifleScopeShop's store. This one is an odd piece, the main toy seems more or less unchanged - but the cannon and hose are rendered in clear plastic. There are only vehicle mode shots on the listing, but they should be enough to give you an idea of what this odd second version of Shockwave is.

Like the seemingly underpainted gray version we saw last month, we are not sure where or how this version will be released - stay tuned for more updates.

The last week in the Transformers world saw a lot of events, foremost among them the third of the "big three" summer Transformers conventions, Auto Assembly 2011 in Birmingham UK! A great weekend was had by all, with the crazy fun time that comes with a Transformers fan gathering. The buzz for Auto Assembly 2012 has already started with the announcement of two guests of honor for the 2012 convention, and the promise of more great stuff to come.

Elsewhere in the world, Canada got a new episode of Transformers Prime before the rest of the world, and the US saw the release of Human Alliance Leadfoot. Wherever you were, chances are something awesome happened!

Here is something that we thought was cool and we hope you do too. Alex Milne has posted lineart of Nominus Prime, from Transformers Ongoing 23, on his Deviant Art account. Nominus is the Prime before Sentinel Prime. According to Alex, he decided to make this one a jet since so many other Primes are land-based vehicles.

This art and many other pieces like it are featured in the IDW Transformers Alex Milne sketchbook, on sale now.
