Meister79, posting over at the Allspark, has shared an interesting bit of news with the fandom. He's posted a Takara-Tomy solicitation which includes a whole bunch of new toy names which we have not previously heard about. Toys on the list include:

United Reflecter (sic) - This one is priced at the Deluxe pricepoint, so it is potentially a release of the Reveal the Shield Perceptor redeco with the alternate head mentioned at Botcon 2010.
United Hard Head - again a Deluxe priced release, this might well be a release of the Deluxe Warpath with the alternate, Hardhead inspired tooling.
United Shock Wave - priced the same as the Takara-Tomy Generations Optimus Prime and Jazz, so potentially a release of the Fall of Cybertron toy with a shiny paint job like the Takara-Tomy Generations are sporting.
United Gremrock (sic) - again, priced at the Deluxe pricepoint like Shockwave.
United Starscream
United Swindle

There are also two new Transformers Prime Arms Micron entries on the list:

AM36 MMOG Thundertron - this sounds like an Arms Micron series release for Thundertron. What is of interest is that first bit - MMOG - which might possibly stand for "Massive Multiplayer Online Game", i.e. suggesting that Thundertron is going to make an appearance in one of the online Transformers games currently in development. Potentially Transformers Universe since we already know the Star Seekers are represented in that game.
AM37 Preview Optimus Prime Re-do - This is at the Arms Micron Deluxe pricepoint so it is potentially second release for Japan of the First Edition Optimus Prime Deluxe class toy, although your guess is as good as ours what the "re-do" means.


The list itself includes a healthy mix of Takra-Tomy Japanese market items and also confirmed Asia exclusives, so time will tell if any of those United toys will be released in Japan or will be more Asia exclusives.

This is it folks - the grand finale. From amnesia and human mech-organ thieves to endless hunts for bits of Cybertronian tech carelessly left scattered around the globe, it all comes down to this. A climatic battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons with the fate of two worlds in the balance. The countdown that began yesterday with the start of the Transformers Prime marathon reaches its conclusion at 7pm ET with Darkest Hour, the second season finale of Optimus Prime.

The stakes have been raised higher than ever. Share your thoughts on the episode in the season 2 finale discussion thread on our 2005 Boards.

Another one of those fun little segments airing during today's Transformers Prime marathon on The Hub featured Megatron transforming into a rather unlikely new alternate mode - check out the clip below:

We've got another new gallery to share with you tonight - this time we have the Sci-Fi Revoltech DX Optimus Prime, aka the Movie Series Jetwing Optimus Prime Revoltech figure. SydneyY provides us with an extensive look at this toy, which features a selection of optional hands, swords and a giant battleax as well as the jetwings flight gear and a display stand. It's a fantastically detailed non-transforming piece that crams in as much detail as physically possible, and features plenty of options for posing and display.

Anyone remember Falcatron? The Australian fan decided Ford based Transformer? Well, Ford is at it again with another character created using fan influence. Fans got to vote on whether this character would be Autobot, Decepticon, what kind of alternate mode he would have and more. This time, meet Torque, (not to be confused with our very own 2005 Board member) who has been debuted on Motorauthority.com. The website has the following to say on this new design:

This time the fans chose the Ranger, but in its range-topping Wildtrak trim. This model packs a 3.2-liter five-cylinder turbodiesel that’s rated at 197 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque.

Torque’s bright orange finish is available on the Ranger Wildtrak, though that’s about all he has in common with the actual production model.

Ford has said it plans to use Torque in some promotional materials, just like it is doing with Falcatron. However, don’t hold your breath waiting to see either in Transformers 4--they were created just for Ford’s own promotional use.

Simon Furman has posted up a "creator's comments" article on his Wordpress Blog for Transformers Regeneration 1 #85, due out this Wednesday. He goes into detail for the main selling point of the issue, the final, no-holds-barred showdown between Optimus Prime and Megatron, his reasoning for including this particular clash and briefly teases at what is to come. The comments are fairly spoiler-free for the issue - check them out here.

By way of ACToys, we have word of an upcoming project from third party group Beezleboss. This project shown here as an early concept is for Transformers Prime Ratchet and gives him a new head and new chestpiece to convert him into IDW's take on First Aid, from More than Meets the Eye. A second head with an occular microscope and a healing tool accessory are also shown in the concepts.

This may turn out to be the biggest TRANSFORMERS news story of the year if it turns out to be true. The folks over MTV Geek have kicked up the rumor cloud surrounding Disney and it's recent use of purchasing power. This time Hasbro itself is in the crosshairs!

"By "Geek Spy"
OK folks, take this one with a grain of plastic for the time being. Unless you’ve been under a rock, you’ve heard that Disney acquired Lucasfilm for roughly $4 billion last week and Marvel for around the same price a few years prior. Well, we have it on good authority that serious discussions are happening at the highest levels of both Disney and Hasbro to fold the largest toy and game company on the planet into the Mouse.

From what we’re told, these are still just discussions at this point, but serious enough that something could be announced at any time and create ripples throughout the entertainment industry. "

For a while now we've been hearing that Maketoys has a robot in production based on The Fallen, named Mobain. We'd seen that it had Power Core Combiner functionality, that the arms and legs could split off to form weapons systems or sets of limbs for the Power Core Combiners in their own right. Now it appears that Maketoys is splitting up the Mobain, with the limbs-tank being sold separately in two different decos. The set is named "Missile Launcher" and comes in "Jungle Type" green deco colored to match Power Core Combiners Heavy Tread, and "Marine Type" gray deco, ostensibly colored to match with Undertow. According to the linked pages on Big Bad Toy Store, they are going to retail at $54.99 and are due for a release in December.

There's still no word on the teased black deco or the release of the second tank that was shown in early pictures and presumably forms the core robot of the Mobain. One can assume from Maketoy's past form, though, that the core tank will be released separately and then a giftset - with the source-material accurate deco - will follow afterwards.

Can't wait for another triple changer? According to FansProject, Assaulter(their modernized take on G1 Broadside) will be released on November 30. However, it seems that some lucky fans were able to score this new figure early as some rather impressive in-hand images have surfaced here!

To date, this is the largest figure FansProject has ever produced. Assaulter is roughly the size of a voyager class figure give or take, and has 4 modes of transformation. Check out how this figure turned out after the jump!

Staff Note: This kit is an unofficial product not produced or endorsed by Hasbro or Takara/Tomy.

Paladin/Chaos is planned for release in December for 8,400 yen. Check out more images of this chaotic release after the jump.

On the back of the recent rumors that talks were underway between Hasbro and Disney about a possible Disney buyout of Hasbro, the Providence Journal reports a spike in Hasbro share prices. More importantly, there is also the closest we are likely to get to an official comment on matters right now:

Hasbro declined comment [in the Disney purchase rumor], citing its policy of not talking about rumor or speculation. CNBC analyst David Faber reported that Hasbro's advisors told him there's "absolutely nothing going on that they are aware of at all, in any way, shape or form" involving Hasbro or Disney.

Wall Street analysts said a Disney acquisition didn't make much sense, just after Disney agreed to buy Lucasfilm Ltd. for $4.05 billion. And for any deal to happen, Hasbro would have to dissolve agreements with Disney's competitors.


So there you have it. For now, consider the rumors of a Disney buyout debunked.
