TFC Toys have posted new images on their Weibo showing off their next project, a third Gear of War set. This third set is intended to accompany Generations Titan Class Metroplex and gives him a Sixgun figure! Like the Generation 1 original which this is based on, TFC's Gear of War 3 breaks down to form a selection of guns, with the core of the figure forming a large rifle like the one packed in with Metroplex. The arms and the legs can also form more Generation 1 inspired rifles and shoulder cannons if that is your desire. Check out the images mirrored after the break.

Mobage have announced the next chapter of the Transformers Legends game, kicking off today, on their Facebook page. The latest event is titled Eagle Eyes and features a clash between Silverbolt & the Aerialbots and Motormaster! Check out the event description below, taken from Mobage's Transformers Legends Blog.

In an effort to go undetected, the Decepticons have taken to the ground! Lead by Motormaster, the convoy is delivering the final component to a super weapon capable of crippling all Autobot communications. The Autobots, however, have a surprise of their own and have taken to the skies to keep an eye on the delivery. Once the convoy is clear of the populated areas, Silverbolt, Skydive, and Fireflight are to intercept Motormaster before they enter Decepticon territory.

Will the aerial interception catch the Decepticons by surprise or will they escape beyond Autobot reach and deploy their secret weapon?

Find out in episode … “Eagle Eyes”!

Reports are coming out of Hong Kong that there was an altercation involving Michael Bay and crew with locals during shooting of Transformers 4. Due to translation and conflciting reports it's not 100% clear what happened. Loose translations imply three folks attacked and injured Michael Bay and crew, or, there was an argument and they attacked police officers. The locals were arrested and Michael bay refused to go to the hospital. Early info assumes it was over a rent dispute for the area they were filming in. We will update when we have more solid information.

Director Michael Bay dropped by his site to let everyone know of the incident which took place while filming Transformers: Age Of Extinction in Hong Kong.

"Hi, it's Michael.

Yes, the story is being passed around is not all true! Yes, some drugged up guys were being belligerent asses to my crew for hours in the morning of our first shoot day in Hong Kong. On guy rolled metal carts into some of my actors trying to shake us down for thousands of dollars to not play his loud music or hit us with bricks.

Every vendor where we shot got paid a fair price for our inconvenience, but he wanted four times that amount. I personally told this man and his friends to forget it we were not going to let him extort us. He didn't like that answer. So an hour later he came by my crew as we were shooting, carrying a long air conditioner unit. He walked right up to me and tried to smack my face, but I ducked threw the air unit on the floor and pushed him away. That's when the security jumped on him. But it took seven big guys to subdue him. It was like a Zombie in Brad Pitt's movie World War Z—he lifted seven guys up and tried to bite them. He actually bit into one of the guards Nike shoe, insane. Thank god it was an Air Max, the bubble popped, but the toe was saved.

Then it took fifteen Hong Kong cops in riot gear to deal with these punks. In all, four guys were arrested for assaulting the officers.

After that, we had a great day shooting here in Hong Kong. The place could be better."

By way of TFClub's Weibo, we have what is (sort of) our first look at the new style Bumblebee in Transformers Age of Extinction! What you can see here are images from a two-sided poster inside Hasbro's 2014 catalog, which was exhibited at the Shanghai Toy Expo last week. The poster shows licensed costumes of both Optimus Prime and Bumblebee - and while branded as Transformers Prime, the Optimus Prime costume resembles the confirmed design of Age of Extinction Optimus Prime. The Bumblebee costume similarly resembles the familiar Movie series Bumblebee, particularly with the "mouth" area, though the forehead area is newly designed and the battlemask is also altered, looking more insectoid than previous.

Also of interest is that the Optimus Prime costume includes a sword and a shield like the Age of Extinction toy, suggesting these are not just random accessories for a toy but might play into the movie's story.

Of course, as dress-up sets, liberties have doubtless been taken with both designs. But check out these images for our first real teaser of the new looks of both leading robots.

Thanks to our members, we have with us some cool photos from the Hong Kong set of Transformers 4 a.k.a Transformers: Age Of Extinction.

What's so amazing is that there is huge number of SuperCars involved and a blue Kawasaki. New cars being: a couple of Audi S6, a Cadillac CTS, a white Lamborghini Gallardo, a black Ferrari and what looks as though a Bentley.

Also, stunt-doubles and cast members were spotted along with some local actors. Famous actors include Jack Reynor, Sophia Miles and Titus Welliver. Speaking of famous actors, the main cast of robots were not spotted yet (while shooting) other than the Bugatti Veyron.

Filming will go on for two weeks and it has been smooth sailing since the unfortunate incident which occurred couple of days ago. Check out the latest images with this news post.

Many thanks for the photos and info everyone. Keep 'em coming.

Takara-Tomy are currently holding an exhibition for their 2014 products in Japan, and their booth has an image promoting Transformers Go! at its entrance. Japanese site 4gamer has posted this image though it's not a focus of their coverage since they are focused on video games. The image (enhanced by Snakas) shows off the core cast of Transformers Go! with Gekisomaru and Kenzan and their human allies in front of a version of Optimus Prime - while not entirely clear from this image, it is believed that this might be a look at the upcoming Transformers Go! G26 Optimus EX Prime.

Transformers artist extraordinaire Alex Milne has posted the design sketch art for Thunder Clash on his Deviant Art page. Thunder Clash features in More than Meets the Eye #22 - on sale now - and is a new take on a classic character from the 1992 line of Transformers, only released in international markets such as Europe and Canada. Alex notes that with this new take on Thunder Clash the trailer - originally a stand-alone battlestation - is incorporated into the robot mode, and that Thunder Clash himself is a big bot, around the same size as Ultra Magnus.

Head on over to Alex Milne's Deviant Art page to check out this and other artwork that he has shared.

Thank to Twitter user trafes20120505 we have an image of this upcoming figure! Instead of the MechTech cutlass that Thundertron had, or the Arms Micron L.P. sword that Leo Prime had, Black Lio Convoy instead comes with 2 red swords which look similar to Kenzan's.
