Robot Kingdom has posted images of the next two entries into the Transformers Alternity line - Dai Atlas and Goldbug, redecos of Alternity Convoy and Bumble respectively. Neither of them feature different heads in these images as had been reported, just alternate paint schemes (they may be mock up images, although we've never heard of mock-ups that don't show the main selling points - i.e. the new heads). The paint schemes do look like they have a nice metallic finish, but will this be enough to sway you into buying these two new Alternities?

Here is something of interest - it looks like there is a fourth Toys R Us exclusive set on the way. This one is priced at $49.99 and is described on the shelf tag, spotted by 2005 Boards member Megatronus, as a "TF3 VOYAGER DELUXE PACK". Given the cost, it is potentially in a similar vein to the Revenge of the Fallen Gathering at Nemesis pack.

We'll update you when more information becomes available - popular thinking is that one of the two Shockwave redecos we have seen recently might be featured in this set.

Transformers comic book artist Alex Milne has updated his DeviantART page with the design work for Springarm. Springarm (along with his repaint Wheelarch) is one of the new original characters featured in issues 22 and 23 of the ongoing Transformers comic from IDW. Springarm transforms into a cybertronian police motorcycle which Optimus takes advantage of in the most recent issue.

Here's some fun news for you - site sponsor Big Bad Toy Store has put up a listing for a set of reproduction Tech Specs for the mail-in Transformers from the early part of Generation 1 - the Powerdashers, the Omnibots and Reflector (all three of him). What is so cool about this set is that the three individual Reflector bots and the Powerdashers never had individual tech specs before - in fact, the Powerdashers never even got names! (These Tech Specs name them Zetar, Aragon and Chromar)

If you're a Generation 1 collector and want to give these toys the dignity of their own identity, check out this set! It'll be the same high quality as previous Tech Spec Repro sets by Atomic Laser, and it is due in September with a list price of $15.99.

Also on show are the presently unnamed Bumper and Hubcap kits, which again feature color variations to suit the various bodies.

Check out these awesome upcoming garage kit add ons for your Bumblebees and your Vortex and share your thoughts on our 2005 Boards. Please note these are just rough design prototypes, so will be improved by the time they reach yourselves.

Hong Kong fashion magazine Milk is celebrating its 10th anniversary in Prime style - Optimus Prime, that is. Working with Hasbro, they are offering two exclusive - and very limited - versions of Deluxe Class Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime. These ones are hand-painted so are a different caliber of limited edition prize toys. One version sports an extremely detailed "premium" paint job, while the other sports a black deco that makes him look very much like a movie Scourge or Black Convoy.

The next issue of Milk magazine will contain the details of how to get these toys - expect a prize draw with these as the grand prize and runner up prizes, I'm thinking.

TFW's Transformers galleries are BACK! We took a little break for the launch of Dark of the Moon and the convention season, but now that is all a pleasant memory, we are going to turn the dial up to 11 and serve up some crisp galleries of images of all your favorite Transformers toys.

First up, courtesy of SydneyY, is an extensive gallery of the Takara-Tomy Japan exclusive Jetwing Optimus Prime. This toy was only available in Japan and through selected retailers in Australia, and it's a pity because it is a gorgeous piece recreating Optimus Prime's rocket pack from the final battle of Transformers Dark of the Moon in Leader Class.

Optimus is also packing a pair of chainguns in this version - all the better to gun down Decepticons with!

Check out the gallery by clicking on the link below, and be sure to visit again soon - we have lots of cool images to share with you including Botcon and TFCon exclusives, and all the cool new toys that have been appearing on pegs, and some old favorites as well!

TFW Jetwing Optimus Prime Gallery


Why not also check out the rest of our Transformers Toy Galleries for even more cool Transformers image galleries? Spanning the whole run of the line, from Generation 1 to present, there is something for everyone!

Hasbro has revealed the Official Instruction Sheet of Transformers: Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class Wheeljack (or Que if you prefer to call him by that name).

However, the instruction sheet sports a new head (Oh, the irony!) Sorry Jackie, no disrespect. Anyway, this could mean a possible retool, but at the moment it is yet to be announced (Or not).

You can download the Instruction Sheet here.
