Amazon Japan has updated their order pages of Art Storm's ES Gokin and EM Gokin versions of Roadbuster. Fully licensed by Takara-Tomy, these two Japanese collector figures redeco Art Storm's Dorvack Mugen Calibre releases as the Autobot Wrecker. The ES Gokin version is a cute, SD version of Roadbuster who can also transform. The EM Gokin is more realistically proportioned and features a small arsenal of weaponry, but does not transform. Check out the images attached to this post.

Courthouse News reports that Harmony Gold, owners of the Robotech IP and by extension Macross in the USA, have filed a complaint that Hasbro's recent SDCC 2013 exclusive G.I. Joe VS Transformers Skystriker Jetfire has infringed on their IP. The action, submitted to the US District Court, seeks injunctive relief and damages from Hasbro.
The action against Hasbro by Harmony Gold originates with the earliest origins of the Autobot Jetfire and the US licensing rights of the series from which his toy originated, Macross. Hasbro in 1984 licensed the VF-1 Valkyrie toy for use in Transformers as Jetfire, while during the same period, Harmony Gold licensed the rights to Macross from Tatsunako, including merchandising rights. This was one reason, in the original Generation 1 Transformers cartoon, for Jetfire featuring a much different design on screen and being phased out of the series early in the second season. What Harmony Gold alleges is that Hasbro's G.I. Joe VS Transformers Jetfire Skystriker toy infringes upon Harmony Gold's rights to the marketing of Macross, including merchandising rights, outside of Japan, based on the resemblance of the toy to the Veritech VF-1 Valkyrie. They allege that the SDCC exclusive toy has caused, and continues to cause, financial damage to their company. As a result Harmony Gold are seeking the withdrawal of the G.I. Joe VS Transformers Jetfire Skystriker toy from sale, seizure of all remaining stock (including Hasbro to "recall from any person or entity known to them who purchased or received... any unauthorized toys or other products based on [Harmony Gold's] copyrighted works"), Hasbro to pay all profits made on the set to Harmony Gold, in addition to damages, legal fees and "exemplary damages in an amount sufficient amount to punish and make a public example of Hasbro, and deter wrongful conduct in future". Short version for those who do not wish to read the long wall of text: Harmony Gold is taking action in the courts against Hasbro due to the resemblance of the G.I. Joe VS Transformers Jetfire Skystriker, and what they are seeking is: 1) Remaining toys to be removed from sale; 2) Unsold stock to be turned over to them (& a possible recall); 3) Lots of $ in damages. View the original report on Courthouse News here, and a copy of the complaint lodged with the United States District Court here. |

We have received a press release from DeNA announcing the next episode content for the Transformers Legends Mobile Game! Next up is the episode titled "Full Assault" which seems set to feature the Decepticon Micromaster Military Patrol as the villains. From information we have received from DeNA, it seems that this event will feature event card versions of Warpath, Hound and Jetfire. Bombshock of the Micromaster Military Patrol features as a boss, and it stands to reason that Growl, Tracer and Dropshot will also put in appearances.
Read on for the full release, as well as some artwork of Jetfire and Bombshock. |

iGear have unveiled their latest project on Facebook. They are revisiting the Seekers with this latest not-Starscream, this time going with a design based on the E.J. Su F-22 Raptor design featured in the pre-All Hail Megatron arcs of IDW's Transformers comics. Highly stylized, the design features bulky legs but perhaps too-thin arms, and a trademark Starscream smirk on the face-sculpt.
We wish to remind our readers that this is an unlicensed third party product, neither licensed or endorsed by Hasbro or Takara-Tomy. |

Robot Kingdom have posted images of the Cybertron Con 2013 exclusive. Just as ACG 2013 gets their own version of SDCC 2013 Metroplex, so Cybertron Con 2013 get their own version of the Shockwave's Lab set. This set shares the same packaging as the SDCC 2013 Shockwave's Lab set, but the toys inside are subtlely altered. The Cyberverse Predaking is now done in a golden yellow plastic, while Shockwave swaps out the pinkish purple paint apps on his arms for black.
Check out the images attached to Robot Kingdom's preorder listing. |

The official Transformers Facebook page has posted a new image from the grand finale of Transformers Prime, Deadlock. This new image shows Bumblebee making a heroic charge - what he's holding could be considered a spoiler, so you'll have to check out the full picture after the break.
Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Deadlock airs TONIGHT at 7:30 pm EST on Hub Network. From previews and spoilers previously brought to our attention, it sounds like Hasbro Studios have pulled out all the stops to deliver us a truly planet-shattering finale. Be sure to tune in and check out the conclusion of Transformers Prime. |

Thanks to a couple of websites, we have some on the set shots of Transformers 4 filming in Detroit. Looks like a beat up Chinatown or Hong Kong. There are subway cars on set marked with Chicago Transit, so this may be a scene which takes place in a now devastated area of Chicago (please see Dark of the Moon for why that is).
Check them all out above, a couple shots of interest after the break. |

Kids Logic, makers of the licensed SD Optimus Prime figure, have announced via their Facebook that they will have an exclusive item available at ACG HK 2013. A 3 inch, clear Optimus Prime figure will be available from their booth as a bonus for pre-ordering the larger 6 inch figure.
Additionally via Facebook page GigaHobby (slightly NSFW), we can share some pics of the Kids Logic Booth. The 6 inch SD Optimus Prime is on show, along with a small poster announcing that Kids Logic will be following up their SD Optimus Prime with an SD Megatron. He'll be based on Generation 1 Megatron - it's only a silhouette so far, so stay tuned for more information. |

Whoa, don't worry. This isn't an article at HISSTANK accidentally ending up here.
Director Jon M. Chu recently had a chat with Collider about his upcoming project; G. I. Joe 3. At the interview, the director of G. I. Joe: Retaliation expressed his interest in directing a G. I. Joe/Transformers Crossover. "[Jokingly] I got to get rid of Michael Bay first" said Mr. Chu. "We got to get there. We got to evolve to something like that. I would love to. As a kid I would combine my toys. If the realities of their worlds match, I think you are okay to do that. I'd love to. I'd be totally ok to do something like that" For more information about G. I. Joe 3, you can visit our Sister Site; HISSTANK. |

It has been rumored for a couple of weeks now, but today it was confirmed that the boats S.S. Columbia and S.S. Ste. Clair, which until 1991 ferried people to the amusement park on Boblo Island. The boats are presently moored in River Rouge, Michigan. According to the ship keeper of the Columbia, Sam Buchanan, the Ste. Clair has a prominent role in Transformers 4, and the Columbia a minor one. Buchanan also states the filming has taken place mostly at night, with city officials mentioning that lots of helicopters have been flying around. River Rouge city officials confirm that some filming was taking place on Wednesday and Thursday night. Reports indicate that a second smokestack was added to the Ste. Clair for some kind of stunt or explosion.
