Coming this September from Kaiyado is Tokusatsu (Sci-fi) Revoltech Optimus Prime! This highly articulated and highly detailed figure is based on Movie Optimus Prime.
But how does he measure up compared to other Revoltechs? Is he a must own? 2005 Boards member Abyss Convoy has shared with us a review of an advance sample of Revoltech Optimus Prime, accompanied by plenty of pictures. Check out his review to see his thoughts on this piece, and check out his photos to decide if you want to add this Prime example of an Optimus to your collection! If you like him and you've not go him preordered already, check out our sponsors for preorders: Toy Arena Hobby Link Japan TFSource Big Bad Toy Store |

Junkion Blacksmith, who work in association with TFC Toys, have updated their Weibo account (requires registration) with an image showing their seventh project - a Generation 1 Devastator upgrade set. While Crazy Devy has already got that base covered, will this set deliver an "all in one" box at a price people want to pay?
The image shows a few items from the set, including a new gun, chest piece, forearms and waist connector which presumably will also give Devastator articulated legs. Check out the image and share your thoughts by clicking the discuss link below. |

3rd party group, Renderform, has shown off some new upcoming projects at Gotham Collectibles in Vancouver over the weekend. 2005 Board member Trans4mers has been gratious enough to share some pictures with us. Suprisingly enough, TFW fan favorite character Erector seems to be getting some love in the form of an upgrade kit for Reveal The Shield Grapple. Included in the pics are;

Dirt Rocket is a repaint of the Speed Stars vehicle High Wire and homages the classics Mini-Con of the same name. This figure has had a release in Canada but now the US gets a chance at adding this guy to your collection.

An interesting listing has appeared on Amazon for a hardcover version of Last Stand of the Wreckers, the seminal series by James Roberts and Nick Roche that pretty much redefined Transformers comic book storytelling. What's so interesting - other than this excellent series getting some hardcover love - is that compared to the previous trade paperback release, this release clocks in at 172 pages - there's an extra 40 pages of content in there compared to the last release.
The Last Stand of the Wreckers Hardcover Edition is due for release in January 2012 and is priced at $29.99. |

Chalk up one more for the "rumors" column - an auction has appeared on Taobao listing a pre-order for something called G-02 Titan. The listing comes with a silhouetted Fortress Maximus, suggesting that this is a third party manufacturer's attempt at creating a modern update of Fortress Maximus, although what we here at TFW2005 can gather from translations of the auction listing is misleading at best. We're guessing it is a new version, though, due to the way the name is given in a typical format for a third party release. As always, watch this space and we'll update with more information as it becomes available.
One question remains though - if this is a G-02, what is G-01...? |

The Transformers Collectors Club have posted the cover artwork for the Diamond Edition of Transformers Timelines Issue 6 - the retail release version of the Botcon 2011 comic. The Diamond Edition clocks in at 48 pages long, including an additional 16 pages of Allspark Almanac content here revealed to be focusing on "Season 3.5" aka the period the comic is set in (come on, Animated Erector profile page...!)
The comic will also include the two page preview to the comic story, titled Moving Violations, which was released online in the lead up to Botcon 2011 and introduces Animated Cheetor. This issue's cover art is by Thomas Deer, and it's due to hit stores in November. |

2005 Board member Quixote Prime has stopped by to share some information about the newly released IDW Transformers Classics Volume 1 Collection. This collection is comprised of issues #1-13 of the Marvel Comics Transformers comic. In previous reprints of the Marvel Comic, characters and issues that feature characters owned by Marvel we're omitted from the reprints. This always left fans with an incomplete story of the Marvel run. Well, thanks to publisher IDW, you can enjoy seeing the stories featuring characters such as the Amazing Spider-Man and Circuit Breaker in this "definitive" Marvel reprint collection.
This new release also features the following:
Quixote Prime has also provided us with scans showing off some of these images. Click the title bar to check them out and then share your thoughts on this news in the thread on the 2005 Boards! |

Kickback gets his Not-Insecticon on with FansProject's Casuality series with a Thundershred review, Shin Densetsu looks at the Cyberverse toyline, and Secretcode looks at "bases" in his latest installment of Gimmickry!

D-Drive has sent us the Diamond Comics Shipping list for next Wednesday, 7 September! There's just one comic on the list for next week - Transformers Ongoing 25, a part of the Chaos event and part one of "The Last Story on Earth"! (and also the incentive cover)
TRANSFORMERS ONGOING #25 (also it's incentive) Mike Costa (w) o Brendan Cahill (a) o Marcelo Matere, Cahill (c) "The Last Story on Earth" part 1 of 3! While there is much "CHAOS" on Cybertron, there's no less bedlam here on Earth as our remaining Autobots investigate the accusation that Spike, their trusted human ally, murdered a TRANSFORMER in cold oil(?) Now it's up to our heroes to find the truth and decide the fate of human/Cybertronian relations for years to come! Prowl and Jazz take center stage! |

Some new images have surfaced of the X-Transbots Wheelie figure. This unofficial third party item copies and upscales the event-only Jizai Toys Wheelie - this version is roughly the size of Masterpiece Grimlock's sword so is approximately in scale with Scout Class figures. The name, logos and packaging are all direct copies of the real Transformers details - making this even more of an outright copy of Hasbro's IP than nearly any other unofficial product out there.
Release details are currently unconfirmed, but the price is expected to be in the range of $35 to $45. |

News now for our friends in the Netherlands - Transformers Prime will be arriving this Sunday 4 September! In the Netherlands, TF Prime will air at 7:50 am on Nickolodean! No word on if the show will be the English language version or a dub. The early timeslot may not suit fans like us, but it's Prime (bad pun I know) time for the kids getting up and having their breakfast.
This news comes to you from Nickolodean's NL page, by way of Transfanclub.net. |
