CM's Corp have updated their homepage with some new information and prototype images of their Guttu Kurru series Minerva. Minerva was one of three teens to join the Autobots in the Masterforce series as Headmaster Juniors. Minerva is known for her great compassion and being the level headed one out of the trio of herself, Cab and Shuta. This licensed figure from CMs represents Minerva in her exosuit, and comes with three different facial expressions plus her helmet (the final version presumably will have a clear visor over the eyes).
Click on the link above to check out the images of this fully licensed figure from CMs. According to the page, the figure will stand 185mm tall and be released sometime in 2012. Also in the Guttu Kurru series from Masterforce will be a figure of Ginrai - we eagerly anticipate our first look at him! |

Hey, you guys look like you need some more teasing for the upcoming Transformers War For Cybertron sequel. Well, Gameinformer is teasing away about Transformers Fall of Cybertron in their latest video, which shows a tour of the High Moon Studios offices. As Gameinformer teases, keep your eyes peeled to see some unannounced characters for Transformers Fall of Cybertron, and sure enough when you see the Concept Art room at 1:15 onwards, you get a glimpse of a pair of Autobots some of you might know - Wheeljack and Sunstreaker! (okay, maybe yellow is Swindle or Drag Strip, but this newsie is not seeing it)
Check out the full video over at Gameinformer. |

TFW user Jlogano20 has found a bit of unexpected and nondescript Transformers tie-in merchandise today at a K-Mart in New York. Called "Transformers Racer(s)", packed in with eight packs of Energizer AA Batteries you can also get either a nondescript Autobot car or a nondescript Decepticon car free with purchase. These nondescript cars are non-transforming and are very nondescript in appearance. For anyone picking up batteries, they are still a nice little freebie toy to mess around with.
In other news, my "Word-A-Day" calendar is finally paying off. |

Hasbro’s Transformers Facebook Page is telling everyone that they’ll be uploading more Adventures of Kre-O Optimus Prime and Bumblebee (I never thought I’d say this but… man, those two are adorable! Transformers: More Than Meets The Cuteness). Images after the jump. Oh, nearly forgot to tell you all: Stay tuned with TFW2005 and its sister sites for our coverage of New York Comic Con 2011, next weekend. As always... we will bring you the best coverage around!

It's time for another TFW Gallery update! After last week's blitz of movie galleries, I thought I'd highlight something for the non-Movie fans, and SydneyY shot the perfect thing. Here for your enjoyment is a gallery of Transformers United Laser Optimus Prime, the Japanese release of Reveal the Shield Generation 2 Optimus Prime. United Laser Optimus Prime makes a few changes to the deco, going for straight-up red and black in truck mode, and the clear plastic is changed up from orange to blue, giving Optimus blue eyes and windows - and a nice blue sword to boot.
Check out SydneyY's gallery of the toy we all want redecoed in black and teal and named Scourge (with a Takara-Tomy release named Black Convoy for the fans of the Car Robots incarnation) by clicking on the link below: Transformers United Laser Optimus Prime Gallery For comparison, check out this gallery of the US version, also by SydneyY: Reveal the Shield Optimus Prime Gallery Be sure to check out the rest of our Transformers Toy Galleries for even more cool Transformers photos! We've got another entry into the Classics series coming your way tomorrow, so keep it TFW! |

For our next Transformers Toy Galleries update, we bring you Reveal the Shield Lugnut. Lugnut was one of the four Voyagers in this Classics subline, and another of Derrick J Wyatt's Transformers Animated creations who have been adopted into the mainstream. Reveal the Shield Lugnut brings a lot to the table - he's a very imposing, massive looking Decepticon, with loads of 3mm clip weapon points, and spring loaded punches. All in all, he's a fun toy and it's a pity he saw such limited distribution.
Click on the link below to check out the gallery: Reveal the Shield Lugnut Gallery Lugnut was also released as a part of Transformers United. United Lugnut sported a very different deco to his Reveal the Shield counterpart. Check out our gallery of United Lugnut here by way of comparison: Transformers United Decepticon Lugnut Gallery Be sure to check out the rest of our Transformers Toy Galleries for even more cool photos of all your favorite Transformers toys. |

2005 Board member SydneyY has been gratious enough to, once again, use his magical translating abilities and share with us some interviews with TakaraTomy's staff. The original of this article was published in Figure-Oh magazine #162, but thanks to Syd you can now read the article and get a glimpse into the minds of the TakaraTomy design team.
Each staff member was asked the same seven questions in the article:

Thanks to ACToys we have a teaser image and some information regarding what may be a 3rd party battle damaged Unicron head. This will be coming via new 3rd party group, DR. WU, who is also responsible for the upcoming non-transforming pvc Sharkticons. According to the post this Unicron head will come with a transparent base so it can look like it's floating around. It will also be able to replace the head on the Armada Unicron mold.
Take a look at the teaser image after the jump |

Japanese retailer Red Mercury has updated with some new pictures of the packaging for the Transformers Kabaya Wave 4. These packaging images shed more light on the upgrade parts for turning Hot Rodimus into Rodimus Convoy. The trailer is the same ABS plastic as the rest of the set, and each figure in the set comes with a part of the trailer. Victory Leo gets the main gun, Inferno the base and wheels, and Rodimus himself comes with the side pieces. Get the whole assortment to create the trailer for Rodimus!

Among those who are attending, Matt Tieger; Game Director of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is sure to be bombarded with questions after the recent reveal of the upcoming game. Official Transformers Video Game Facebook Page announces that… "Matt Tieger, Game Director of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron will be headed to New York Comic Con this week for a panel discussion with Hasbro. Stop by the Activision booth if you are attending." You can visit Booth 738 for all the upcoming Activision goodies including Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, Prototype 2, Goldeneye 007: Reloaded and HERO HQ (Marvel) games and more.

People from the Transformers Collectors’ Club are on their way to the convention. On the official Twitter page they wrote…”NYCC... Here we come! http://www.transformersclub.com/”. And also, they left more details on their Official Website: "Starting this Thursday, the Transformers Collectors' Club will be setting up shop alongside artist Dan Khanna for the 2011 New York Comic-Con. If you are at the show, be sure to stop by booth C7 and say hello! There will be all kinds of cool comic and art related items for sale at the table, so be sure to check us out! And of course, if you are interested in joining the TCC, there will be someone on hand to get you set up with a membership." Also, Transformers Artist Marcelo Matere will be there too. On his Blog he wrote… “This is my first time! I will be at Artist Alley, and my table is C6. I will have some prints, some comics ( Incentive Covers) , sketchcards, small colors sketches and a few copies of my 2011 sketchbook.”. And don't forget to say "Hi!" to Kre-O Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.

TFW2005 Boards Member bigkid24 tells us that he has received information regarding upcoming Transformers: United figures.
Surprisingly, the list contains names belonging to the “Beast Era”. This news comes not too long after TFW2005 finding out Hasbro has applied to renew the trademark Tankor, who is another Beast Machines character. Windcharger and Wipe-Out are both listed. This may very well be a two pack much like the United Frenzy & Rumble duo. Update: Thanks to Malaysian toy blog Famitoys, we now have the Release Dates and Prices of the upcoming Takara Tomy Transformers: United figures. The 9 toys (UN-23 to UN-31) are expected to be released in January & February, 2012. Take a look at the list of Figures, Release Dates and Prices, after the jump. |

We've got multiple reports tonight - including one from 2005 Boards member Hye6640, who took the pic you see to the left - that the Dark of the Moon Deluxe Wave 5 is hitting US retail. Wave 5 consists of recolor Armor Topspin, remold Darksteel, and new mold Air Raid. The sightings thus far have all been in the California region - the photo attached to this report was taken in the Visalia Ca Target. Target seems to be the place to look if you want any of these guys - most of the sightings so far have been there.
