The Transformers Collectors' Club has revealed pictures of the previously announced Subscription Service 2.0 figure Fisitron. Fisitron uses the recent Fall of Cybertron Swindle/ Roadbuster mold and according to the Collectors' Club's website will be able to combine with Ruination. These images join the previously revealed mockups of Treadshot and Barricade, and the turnarounds of Chromedome's head. One thing to keep in mind is that these images are mockups and may change in the final release version.

Check out the images and learn more about the Subscription Service by visiting the Transformers Collector's Club homepage.

Also, if you missed out on the Transformers Figure Subscription Service and still need to add Slipstream to your collection, she's now available in the club store at the low price of $69. Grab this figure quickly, because she's sure to be sold out soon.

Purchase your Slipstream now!

New spy photos and videos from Transformers 4 indicate a scene where actors Mark Wahlberg and T. J. Miller interact with a Chevy Nova in a Bumblebee style deco.

However, despite Instagram hashtags, there is no evidence yet to support this is Bumblebee. A case against the theory is that there is a Driver visible (not a known cast member) with regular cloths on instead of the black suit worn for CGI removal.

This could very well be just a prop, but we can only tell what's what if an official announcement comes our way.

Alfes2000 has also posted galleries of the Japanese Generations Blitzwing and Springer. Blitzwing and Springer have just been released in Japan. While these great toys (and believe us, they are awesome!) are largely the same as the US versions, for their Japanese release they sport some nice metallic paint applications. Check out the galleries of both Springer (Part 1 and Part 2) and Blitzwing (Part 1 and Part 2).

Ebay seller 366offer has posted up some auctions for some clear versions of the recent Generations Fall of Cybertron Starscream and Soundwave toys. These two are made entirely in clear plastic with a few white elements. We suspect they are either mold tests made at the Hasbro or Takara-Tomy factory to assess how the various moving parts that make up the two Transformers work together... or possibly a pair of "lunchtime specials", molds produced by the factory workers on the side in between their work on the main production runs.

In either event they are kind of cool, check them out!


Update - we are informed these are "lunchtime specials", that is, special runs made by factory workers on the side of the main production run. They are not prototypes.

Small Transformers 4 update from Director Michael Bay himself. On a special announcement video, the director of Transformers Live Action Movie Franchise stated that he is using the new 6K Red Epic Dragon Digital Camera when filming the 4th Movie in the series.

This camera is the latest in 3D technology and delivers almost 10X the resolution of 1080p HD at 100+ frames per second. Before filming TF4, the director stated that he’ll be using a new technology in 3D and now we know what it is. You can find out more info from the Official Red Website.

You can watch Michael Bay's special message over at Vimeo.

Chalk this up as a rumor for now as these might just be placeholders, but the Wal-Mart computer systems have a few new names down against the Transformers Generations Deluxe Assortment.

The four names are:

Rattrap
Nightbeat
Crosscut
Tankor

What lends credibility to the rumor is that Rattrap was name-dropped by Dark Cybertron co-writer James Roberts in an interview with Fullmetal Hero. As the current assortment of Generations are based on IDW comics characters, Nightbeat makes sense given his importance in previous story arcs. Crosscut in the past was the name of a redeco / remold of the Autobot, Skids - could this be a potential Skids remold? Tankor though we have no idea on - but that's the fun of speculation!

Watch this space for more news and future updates.

More Transformers 4 news from the set. Two new cars were spotted rolling with the Autobots of Transformers 4.

One of them is a White 2013 Production Camaro by Chevrolet (as identified by our evac167). This new Camaro was seen with the 67 Camaro Bumblebee and the new Concept Camaro Bumblebee. This could be an indication of a commercial by Chevy since they did the same while filming Transformers: Dark Of The Moon. But, anything is possible right now.

The second car; a silver Aston Martin Vanquish was seen rolling with Chevy "Crosshairs" Stingray and the Bugatti Veyron.

In an exclusive interview with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Beijing News is revealing some cool Transformers 4 news.

First of all, now we have the official confirmation of the existence of Dinobots on Transformers 4. The secret was leaked not too long ago and the officials may have thought to finally reveal it since the cats are out of the bag.

"I can not disclose the specifics, but you can be sure that the joining of the Dinobots will give the audience new excitement. In addition to Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, the appearance of these classic roles changed, today the world's coolest, most exciting cars will appear in the film, including China's vehicles, whether you are a car enthusiast, you will feast your eyes and be shocked by them."

With this news, we now also have a confirmation on the possibility of Chinese Concept Car E-jet being a Cybertronian in disguise as well.

And the producer also mentioned that there will be no Special TF4 Chinese Edition like Iron Man 3 was. (IM3 Chinese Edition Incident was a fiasco which production studios may not try to repeat).

"I know that "Iron Man 3" had a special edition released in China, but "Transformers 4" will only have one version globally"

Filming in China will be in Beijing and Hong Kong and two additional cities:

"In China we have chosen Beijing and Hong Kong, as well as two more cities we are looking at."

Props to 2005 Boards member GabrielPrime for the link and translation.

A new car has been seen on the set of Transformers 4 being filmed. It's a Chinese Concept Car going by the name of E-jet.

This time there is a good chance for E-jet to be a Cybertronian in disguise. Why do we say that? We all know China plays a huge role in the upcoming 4th Michael Bay Transformers Live Action Movie. That, plus the fact that it is a Concept Car... the odds of this new car being a robot it rather high. But, we don't know for sure. It could very well be just another prop car. Who knows? Only time can tell. Stick with TFW2005 as we bring you more info.

The Ultimetal Optimus Prime is a non-transformable piece, which stands about 17 inches tall and features remote controlled light and sound, and the mouthpiece even moves when Optimus is speaking! This is all topped off with some removable panels to show the mechanical parts inside.

It's a nice high-end collectible with loads of great detail, check out the images to see for yourself!

Taking inspiration from the IDW comics depiction of Perceptor, Mugan Scope is a lean robot with two interchangeable heads (one "normal" head, and one "sniper" head with the targeting reticule eyepiece over his right eye). Mugan Scope also comes with two pistols and a large sniper rifle. These images give us our first real look at this piece in full color, check them out at the link above.

TFC Toys have a new version of their Primars super-deformed Optimus Prime toy on the way. This version, named Nemesis Primars, sports the black, red and teal of a Nemesis Prime.

The Jetwings can also attach to Classics Optimus Prime, we assume by way of a 5mm peg on the wings.
