TF08.net has images of the upcoming Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe Chromia and Autobot Skids, and Leader Megatron, in package! Both sides of the package are shown revealing Chromia's bio! But don't worry about squinting to make out the bio on the cardback in the image - 2005 Boards member Omega Charge has done the hard work, so all you need to do is click here to visit our resource page for Chromia where the bio has been mirrored. Her bio includes a cool reference to Generation 1 Chromia's friendship with Ironhide!

Delta Star of Reprolabels has sent us his latest update, and it's a big one! Delta also wants to make clear that the Reprolabels staff want to apologize for their slow response times lately, but that they are back on track now with every order prior to this update having been sent out.

With that out of the way, on to the update! There are some cool customization sets to give your Universe Classics Hound (with Ravage), Cyclonus and Brawn that Generation 1 touch. There are also two sets to allow you to convert that spare Sideswipe and Sunstreaker into Patriot and Tigertrack. Patriot even comes with a choice of patriotic decos! There are also six brand new Generation 1 reproduction sticker sets, to restore your Ransack, Venom, Chop Shop, Highbrow, Skullgrin and Triggerhappy to that "just out of the box and freshly stickered" condition! And last but not least, by popular demand, Wreck and Rule with these Wreckers faction symbols!

Another of the upcoming Takara-Tomy new releases has hit retail in Japan! This time, it is the Transformers Encore Cassette reissue set, containing Ravage and Buzzsaw on the Decepticon side, and Eject and Rewind on the Autobot side! There are some new images in package, courtesy of ACToys, and our own 2005 Boards member joopsta. joopsta's image shows that Eject and Rewind's tape details are actually stickers like in the original Generation 1 releases and not tampographed details, as has been the case with some other reissues where there were originally factory applied decals.

For now, check out the images which we have mirrored by clicking on the title bar - you can see both Microns in the little baggies that they are packaged in.

TF08.net has put up images of a pair of CG designs for new accessories from their iGear IG-TF001 City Commander add-on set. The first of these new add ons is a War Hammer - one big honkin' hammer modeled after the one wielded by Ultra Magnus in Transformers Animated. This hammer can divide into two smaller weapons. The handle of the hammer also doubles up as the pole for the Wreckers Flag - which is based on a cover illustration from the Dreamwave Transformers War Within Age of Wrath.

Click on the thumbnail to the left to view our mirror of both the images for these very cool additions to what is shaping up to be a very promising accessory set.

Sharp-eyed viewers will no doubt have spotted Alpha Trion sitting at Ultra Magnus' immediate left during the council scene from Transformers Animated's Season 3 premiere, Transwarped. But what does Alpha Trion do within the Transformers Animated world? Derrick Wyatt has posted the answer on his blog:

Alpha Trion is head of all of the civilian guilds that make up the non military portion of the Autobot High Council. I guess this sort of makes him like a "vice-Magnus."

A heads up for collectors of the rare Lucky Draw Transformers - there are fake Transformers Henkei Galvatron Lucky Draws circulating on Ebay. These fake items can easily be identified compared to the real deal, though, as the fake ones all have orange triggers for the missile launcher, while the real deal has a gold trigger. Check out the full identification guide provided by 2005 Boards member diablien by clicking on the title bar.

We have a pair of eBay auctions of interest for you today - the first one, currently running, is for the rare Shining Ultra Magnus. This piece, a 20th Century Toy Museum exclusive, was limited to 800 pieces when it was first released.

Second is an already completed auction for this silver chrome version of Movie Protoform Optimus Prime. The origins of this item are unclear but it is suspected that it is a "Lunchtime special" as no official Lucky Draw or other campaign exclusive of this toy in silver chrome has ever yet been reported.

To keep track of all your important dates in 2010, why not do it in true fan style with a Transformers Calendar. This Transformers Revenge of the Fallen 16 month calendar is just what the doctor ordered if that is what you want to do, and if the promotional images for January and September are any indication, it should be relatively spoiler free, and both the months shown so far actually use stills from the first Transformers Movie. You can buy this calendar from anywhere where calendars are sold this fall, including our sponsor Big Bad Toy Store.

HK-TF has put up images of the recently released Transformers Henkei Hot Rod (aka Universe Hot Shot). The images confirm that while Hot Rod has the launchers dropped from the US release, he also does not have Hot Shot's JAAM vanity plate, instead opting for the less creative "HOT ROD". There are also some scans from the pack in manga, which spotlights Hot Rod and Dinobot, and features appearances by the six Minibots and a brief cameo by the one and only Grimlock!
