Transformers Prime Cyberverse vehicle sets are hitting stores up and down the UK - and by a stroke of luck I've been able to score both of them. Here for you now is the Energon Driller with Knock Out - a great little set which is a lot of fun to play about with, mostly because of the big drill which spins around as you push it along the floor. The emphasis with this set is most definitely on simplicity and fun, not that this is a bad thing though, it's a very playable set reminiscent of the old Action Master Transformers and MASK vehicles of my childhood.

I've also taken a whole bunch of pics of the set including an attempt at demonstrating the light-up "Energy glow" feature on the set. Check them out by opening the link below:

Read on for more thoughts on the set and check back later over the weekend for when we review the Autobot set, the Starhammer with Wheeljack.

In case you had not heard the good news, there is a two episode double bill of Transformers Rescue Bots on The Hub tomorrow! The culmination of the first 13 episodes of the series brings us the two-part story arc "The Other Doctor" and "The Reign of Morocco" - and the introduction of Doctor Morocco, voiced by Tim Curry, as a potential human adversary for the Rescue Bots team to face!

It all kicks off tomorrow at 9:30am ET | 6:30am PT on The Hub - and if you want to check out a preview of this two-part special then we can do that for you - check out a preview below shared with the fandom by the good people at Comics Continuum!




That would be whom to thank, Mr. Mayor, and the answer would be me, Doctor Morocco.

Bad Flip Productions Blog is revealing another Transformers image. This time it’s Prima. The image is from the famous Transformers publication Transformers Vault.

This image of Prima, as the rumor has it, is part of the Aligned Continuity linking Transformers: Prime, Exodus series, War For Cybertron game series and other related Transformers media.

According to Mr. Christiansen, he had drawn 11 of the 13 Primes on behalf of Hasbro.

“This was a fun job! I got to do final concept images for 11 of the 13 Primes, for Hasbro, Inc., creating updated source images...

…Again, working with Eric Siebenaler, I began a bunch of pencil sketches, but one clearly stood out, and it's basically a rough pencil version of what's above. I themed him in a loose Samurai style, and reversed engineered details from Optimus Prime, to make that visual connection, as a descendant in the Prime Line. He was nicknamed the Warrior of Light, so we went with a really ornate style, with the piped lighting over a quasi-mother of pearl armor. The similar cues from Optimus only number a few, but are pretty overt - the facemask, helmet spikes, split chest 'windows', and I managed to put a G1 cue in there, the two bands over a triangle on the forearm. The sword was a joint design effort, Eric had sketched out the two-bladed idea, with the Matrix in the hilt, so I basically redesigned it to fit the look of the character/armor.”

Mr. Christiansen didn’t forget to comment regarding the Hasbro Watermark…

“*Sorry about the watermarks folks, it's the rules of the game for me to get this stuff on my site.”

You can visit his blog to checkout some amazing creativity from Ken Christiansen.

Courtesy of Midtown comics, we have the IDW Solicitations for August. Dinobot Month will roar into action late this summer as the Dinobots will take center stage in the pages of More Than Meets the Eye, Robots In Disguise and Regeneration One. Also shown in these solicitations is the cover of the 1st More Than Meets The Eye Anual. The cover of this book was shown as a teaser at the end of the IDW panel at Botcon.

Here's the solicitations, beware spoilers!

More Than Meets The Eye #8
(W) James Roberts (A) Alex Milne (CA) Alex Milne, Nick Roche
DINOBOT MONTH! Three years ago, Grimlock disappeared from his prison cell on Garrus 9. Where did he go? What happened to him? One thing's for certain: the leader of the Dinobots is back-and he's itching to settle some scores!

Robots In Disguise #8
(W) John Barber (A) Andrew Griffith (CA) Casey Coller, Andrew Griffith
DINOBOT MONTH! Guess who's back on Cybertron? SLAG, SLUDGE, SNARL, and SWOOP-and they're as mad as ever! IRONHIDE leads them deep into the Cybertronian wilderness searching for lost AUTOBOTS... but what they find might be the greatest danger of all!

More Than Meets The Eye Annual #1
(W) James Roberts (A) Jimbo Salgado, Guido Guidi (CA) Tim Seeley, Alex Milne
THE ORIGIN OF THE KNIGHTS OF CYBERTRON! Rodimus and the crew of the Lost Light finally reach Crystal City, home to the mysterious Circle of Light. But what they find waiting for them is going to change everything-and not necessarily for the better!

Regeneration One #82
(W) Simon Furman (A) Andrew Wildman (CA) Andrew Wildman, Guido Guidi
DINOBOT MONTH! And ex-Dinobot commander GRIMLOCK wishes it wasn't! His quest for a means to restore his ability to change modes takes him to Nebulos-a world off-limits to TRANSFORMERS, where a welcome that's more incendiary than warm awaits him. Plus, KUP and THE WRECKERS find themselves stranded, hunted and in a whole world of pain. Quite literally!

G.I.Joe Vs. Transformers Volume 1
(W) Michael Higgins, Larry Hama (A) Herb Trimpe & Various (CA) Klaus Scherwinski
The worlds of G.I. JOE and TRANSFORMERS combine in this first volume reprinting the classic crossovers. Contains the 4-issue G.I. JOE and the TRANSFORMERS limited series plus issues #139-142 of A REAL AMERICAN HERO. MEGATRON and COBRA versus the JOEs and the AUTOBOTS, who will come out on top?

Facebook group Planet Iacon reports that this year's Tokyo Toy Show exclusive is going to be a translucent version of Transformers Prime Optimus Prime. Carrying on the proud Takara-Tomy tradition of offering clear versions of Optimus Prime toys as exclusives, this one uses the First Edition version of the mold and looks very sharp. There's no word on pricing yet, but expect it to command a premium price even from the outset.

But that's not all! Hold on to your hats because Henkei Convoy Black Version is finally getting a release! Planet Iacon is the source once again, again no details on the pricing, other than that after fans were left at the altar back when this one was originally planned, it is finally getting released.

Well this is an unexpected surprise for a Monday night. Via the Facebook, the official Transformers community page has revealed Insecticon Hardshell from the upcoming Transformers: Fall of Cybertron game. Though we can only surmise why he is named this way, there is no mistaking the vented mask and back-mounted armature: he is clearly this universe's Bombshell.

In the scans we have our first looks at AM-12 Breakdown in color with his Micron (a rhino that turns into one of his hammers!) AM-14 Vehicon with Micron, AM-07 Voyager Starscream with Micron and AM-13 Knockout with micron. Also among these pictures is a prototype of MP-12 Sideswipe with a size comparison to MP-10.

Last but certainly not least is a silhouette teaser of MP-13! Popular vote in the thread has been going to Soundwave. But others have speculated Sunstreaker and Shockwave.

What do you think? Check out the images after the break and join in on the speculation!
