Next up from Alfes, a brief in-hand look - with comparisons with the Hasbro versions - at the Takara-Tomy Generations Wave 3. Ultra Magnus, Starscream, Kickback, Sideswipe and Air Raid make up this wave as in the US, although they all feature altered paint schemes at the least, or in Air Raid's case what amounts to a complete new deco. Check out these images by clicking here.

Alfes of the Higekuma Toy Blog has posted a selection of galleries of the newly released Takara-Tomy Transformers toys. First up are the final two releases in the Transformers Prime Arms Micron series for Japan, AM-33 Final Battle Megatron and AM-34 Jet Vehicon General. These galleries show the final two Arms Micron series releases in all their glory - including some cool extras, such as in Megatron's case, an alternate weapon combination for his three Arms Microns to form a large gun mode instead of a giant sword. As always we have attached a selection of what we felt were the coolest images to this story - read on at the link above to check out the rest of the images.

Last and greatest from Alfes, it's a look at the new Masterpiece Transformers releases, Rumble and Ravage (Jaguar). Alfes has posted two great galleries - the first shows Rumble and Ravage themselves, with the second showing their interaction with Soundwave, including Soundwave's ability to attach Rumble's piledrivers as an arm cannon. Open the links above to check out the images.
As a bonus, 2005 Boards member onnsake has also got this new Masterpiece series release and is sharing his thoughts in our Transformers Feedback forum. Check them out by hitting the discuss button below and be sure to share your own thoughts when you get this duo in hand. |

2005 Board member Juise continues with supplying us the goods this evening! He has also provided us with several pieces of official packaging and packaging artwork for upcoming Generations toys! Most of what we have here are figures that were debuted at this years Toyfair. However, two of these figures are now confirmed; Generations Hoist and Generations Fall of Cybertron Thundercracker. These two figures were basically confirmed already, based on two reasons. 1) The molds for FOC Starscream and Generations Trailcutter needed to be reused at one point or another. 2) IDW Publishing's Transformers comics will be included with future Generations toys releases. To date, we've seen the return of Transformers: Spotlight issues feature: Orion Pax, Thundercracker, and Megatron. Future IDW solicitations reveal the next few Spotlight issues to be; Bumblebee, Trailcutter and Hoist. Needless to say, these comics will no doubt, be the comics included with the upcoming deluxe Transformers Generations figures. Pay attention to future IDW Solicitations!
Shown in the pictures provided are:

2005 Board member Juise has shared with us official Transformers Prime Voyager class figure pictures. Seen in these pics are official photos of Ultra Magnus and the highly anticipated Shockwave! These pictures not only include the official images of both figures in both of their modes, but the in package shots as well. As a bonus, we have a single image of Shockwave's box art in a beautiful CGI render. Additionally, the bios for both figures are listed below:
Shockwave The cunning and brutal Decepticon scientist Shockwave plans to clone an unstoppable Predacon army! Take your Transformers adventures to the next level with this incredible Shockwave figure and his spinning Hyperflux Cannon! Whether he’s in robot mode or Cybertronian tank mode, he’s a scary enemy for any Autobot, and his snap-on beast armor gives him protection against his Autobot enemies’ attacks. Keep converting him back and forth so he can handle whatever you throw at him! Ultra Magnus The Elite Autobot special forces commander is ready to bring the battle to the Predacons with the mighty Forge of Solus battle hammer. Predacons beware, because this Ultra Magnus figure is just the Autobot to take any of them on! He’s a Special Forces commander with a mighty Forge of Solus battle hammer to use against his Predacon enemies, and his flip-down missile-firing launchers will make his enemies think twice before taking him on. Convert him to truck mode when he needs to make a fast escape or chase down his Predacon foes. Keep converting him back and forth so his Predacon enemies can’t keep up with him! |

2005 Boards member Predakwon dropped by to let us know that Amazon has updated with new listings for collected editions of IDW's Transformers Comics. First up is More than Meets the Eye volume 4, thought to collect issues 12-15 of the More than Meets the Eye ongoing series. This one is due out in August.
Next up, with a new Transformers movie on the horizon, IDW is publishing the first in what we assume will be a series of Transformers Movie Collection volumes. Transformers Movie Collection Volume 1 will contain the three comic miniseries covering the first live action movie - the four issue prequel series, the four issue adaptation and the Reign of Starscream comic sequel. This one is coming in July. Last but by no means least, the third of these new Amazon listings reveals Jim Sorenson's latest project. Jim Sorenson has previously compiled the animation model books the Ark Archives Volumes 1 and 2 as well as the must-have Transformers Animated companions the Allspark Almanac Volumes 1 and 2. For his next project, he brings to us the Transformers 30th Anniversary Collection, a hardcover volume all about the history of Transformers in comics: It's a celebration 30 years in the making! Relive the landmark comics that helped define the legacy of Transformers and read along with the creators that made these great comics as Jim Sorenson provides insight from a range of writers and artists that breathed life into the denizens of Cybertron. From Marvel to Dreamwave to IDW and other iterations in-between, this book is a must have for TF collectors! The Transformers 30th Anniversary Collection is due for a release on 25 June 2013. Given the timing, one might expect a special launch or signing at Botcon 2013, taking place that same weekend? |

By way of the Cybergundam blog, we have a fresh look at Transformers GT Megatron. GT Megatron is yet another reuse of the Nissan GTR / Alternity Convoy mold, as has been the case with the other two Transformers GT characters (or three, depending on how you view GT Maximus). Megatron sports his traditional grey, silver and black colors, with a slightly more rounded version of his usual bucket head and a suitably dangerous looking giant cannon in his arms. The cannon sports two hand grips, although given the design of the Alternity GTR's robot mode, we don't think he can get a two handed grip on the gun, so the second handle is presumably for some other purpose.
Check out the image at left. |

In a move showing how much of a worldwide brand our little Robots in Disguise have become, Hasbro has granted a license to Vandor to make new Transformers related licensed products, including large shopper totes, collapsible water bottles, ceramic mugs, acrylic cups with straws and tin totes. The Transformers aren't the only brand to get this treatment - Hasbro's My Little Pony is also getting a similar deal.

Comic Book Resources has posted an interview with IDW's John Barber, overall editor of the Transformers books and writer of Robots in Disguise and Spotlight Bumblebee. The interview talks a bit about Spotlight Bumblebee and goes into how the one-shot fits into the wider continuity - it is, effectively, filling in some character development for Bumblebee in his move from warrior to leader. What might interest some of our readers though is one particular question - when asked about characters he would like to make an appearance in the IDW Transformers comics, John Barber responds that he'd love to get Transformers Animated's Bulkhead into the mix, or some Beast Wars characters. He then goes on to say about how as he has an inside track, we might be seeing a little something sometime. Watch this space!
The interview is topped off with some new reveals of Andrew Griffith's cover for Robots in Disguise #15 - featuring Arcee - and some of David Daza's art from Spotlight Bumblebee. Open this link to see the full story. |

Thanks to some slight "detective work" from 2005 Board member Gauss Gunner (and Transbot90210's Photobucket gallery) we now have our first looks at Fansproject's upcoming "Intimidator" figure! These pictures show these unofficial Stunticon figures in their combined mode and all five in vehicle mode. No pictures yet of their unofficial Motor Master in robot mode just yet, but keep your eyes on TFW2005 as we bring you up to date 3rd party news.
