I’m sure all of you remember Jimmy. He was one of the TFW2005 members who were on-site in Chicago bringing us photos as Transformers: Dark of the Moon filming happened. Here he is bringing us something very intersting which he found on Flickr..

Apparently someone has decided to erect tombstones in memory of Sentinel Prime and Megatron who died at the hands of Optimus Prime (on the Lasalle Street Bridge).

You can take a look at spudart's photostream on Flickr and appreciate his hard work and dedication to the Transformers Franchise.

iGear have revealed the latest of their Seekers. Having recently released their Sunstorm MP Seeker along with the coneheads, iGear have apparently now turned their attention to the three that have already been officially released by Takara, starting with Thundercracker. Lightning, as iGear are calling him, is an animation colors version of Thundercracker VS the realism of the officially released Masterpiece version, and also features the alternate leg configuration.

There are also more to come - as pointed out by heirofthedog and others, the shipping carton includes the following information:

PP03J - Jet
PP03E - Elegy
PP03A - Attack
PP03S - Storm
PP03C - Current
PP03L - Lightning
PP03T
PP03D
PP03R

By all indications, there are three more in the works. Potentially two of them may be Skywarp and Starscream.


As this piece is so directly infringing upon Hasbro and Takara's IP, moreso than any of the other pieces released to date, we would urge anyone looking for a Masterpiece Thundercracker to see out the real thing from Takara themselves.

As if seeing the fully combined Hercules for the first time yesterday was not enough, today TFC Toys have treated us to a fresh look at Hercules member number 5, Neckbreaker. These new images show a resin prototype of Neckbreaker in robot and vehicle mode from a couple of different angles, giving us a nice view on what the final toy might look like. These images also demonstrate that there will be two different leg transformation options for the robot mode - one in the style of Exgraver, or one that is closer to the style of the Generation 1 legs.

Read on to check out our mirror of the images, which originated on the TFC Toys weibo account.

With all the classics love from TFC Toys today, I thought we'd throw in a bit of our own, so I'd like to highlight to you some galleries we've had done for us by 2005 Boards Photo team member thedrkness48! Hailing from the later waves of Generations, we have galleries of Generations Wave 7, which featured Wheeljack and Thundercracker! But that's not all. In a little thing called Transformers the Movie (which I'm told recently turned 25) Thundercracker was reborn as a new Decepticon named Scourge. He got a new toy in Generations Wave 6. Guess what - we've got a gallery of him too! Click on the links below to check out the galleries:

TFC has been busy this morning. Along with the new pictures of Neckbreaker, we now have full images of the 6th member of Hercules, Mad Blender. These new images of the resin grey prototype show Mad Blender in vehicle mode and robot mode. Additionally, they mystery of what his mixing barrel does has been revealed. It breaks apart into several guns that can be attached to Mad Blender's robot mode. No doubt, to spray various hazardous chemicals on his victims.

New images of Structor have been posted as well, showing off the 4th member in vehicle and robot mode.

HK-TF has shared some new pictures of the upcoming Cyberverse Legion Soundwave figure. These new pics are a good example of exactly how much detail they can cram into a tiny figure. Soundwave has a very detailed head sculpt as well as his "speaker"-esque weapons in his arms. There are also some comparison pictures with the 1st Legends Soundwave mold and the Commander Shockwave mold.

Facebook fan group Transformers Galaxy have posted a pair of images of the new redeco of Dark of the Moon Voyager Class Megatron from the Transformers Chronicle 02 two-pack. The Transformers Chronicle two packs pair reissues of the original Optimus Prime and Megatron toys with redecos of their new Dark of the Moon toys. The Megatron, as you can see from these pictures, looks nothing short of gorgeous, with a silver cannon, rust paint applications, silver bumper, and an overall premium level paint job.

Another week's come and gone, and that means it's time for another retrospective! Last week is memorable or not only being the week we finally saw all the rest of the TFC Toys Hercules project - not only the combined mode, but all of the remaining four members yet to be released - but also for being the week that Transformers Robots in Disguise - a show so near and dear to the hearts of many of us - turned 10 years old. Here's to the show that gave us so many great things - Sky-Byte, a ten-changer Galvatron, and SCOURGE!

MTV recently had a chat with actor Shia LaBeouf (Sam Witwicky) of Michael Bay Transformers Live Action Movie Series and he had this to say…

"For me, I feel vindicated for having guilt on my shoulders for the second movie. There is vindication in this one being successful and people enjoying it."

Speaking of Shia, we shouldn’t forget Megan Fox; ex-Transformers actress. She’s saying to the press that she will watch Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

“I haven't seen it yet, but I will see it. I mean, if they hadn't been hitting me so hard on the press tour, I would have gone to the theater. But I felt like that would have been a disaster: Me sitting with a packed theater of people watching the movie. So I didn't go. I mean, I have nothing against watching it. And I love Shia to death; I love him unconditionally. And I love that crew. I'm really close to the hair, makeup and wardrobe that made that movie. I want to see it for them. I know it looked amazing in the trailer. Out of all three trailers, that was the trailer that I was like, "Wow, sh*t, this is a huge movie." So I think it will be an interesting, fun thing to watch, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.”
