Courtesy of TFW2005 boards member xterry, we have our first look at a colored sample of third party group TFC's "Sixgun" figure for Generations Titan Metroplex. This add-on figure is designed to transform into another gun for Metroplex and additional shoulder mounted blasters as well, to give your Titan figure more G1-esque features.

Check out the new image after the jump.

It has been two weeks since Michael Bay’s Official Website making an announcement stating that the teaser trailer for Transformers: Age Of Extinction is “Coming Soon”. We are yet to see the official reveal.

Now, take what we are about to say next with a grain of salt. 2005 Boards Member “Eject, Ravage” is stating that they have received an official confirmation from Paramount requesting the theater owners to debut the next Transformers: Age Of Extinction Trailer before 300: Rise Of An Empire.

300: Rise Of An Empire is the sequel to the 2006 hit movie; 300 and will open this March 7th. However being an “R Rated” movie, the practicality of reaching a large audience is thrown out of the window. But this being a “Digital Age”, surely the trailer will be online for all of us to enjoy.

Do keep this information strictly as RUMOR only. We are yet to hear an official announcement stating whether or not the new rumor is true.

Official Kre-O You Tube Channel has uploaded some new Kre-O Commercials and as always they are fun to watch. Although the clips advertise some of the old product lines, this is the first time international viewers get to watch the new clips.

The first clip features the Autobot Command Center for the Beast Hunters line. The second clip is a battle between Optimus Prime and Ripclaw. The third clip (which is the most fun to watch) features Kreons from various product lines including G. I. Joe, Cityville and Star Trek.

Check out the commercials, after the jump.

The Ontario Film Review Board and Alberta Film Ratings have rated the next trailer for Transformers 4 Age of Extinction. Looks like we're finally getting the trailer we've been waiting for since Michael Bay's Official site teased us by saying it's ''coming soon.''

The teaser trailer is rated PG and has a running time of 2:22. And it has,

• Occasional use of words such as darn, damn, hell
• Scenes that may cause a child brief anxiety, or fear
• Restrained portrayals of non-graphic violence

The rumor about it being released with ''300: Rise of an Empire'' might turn out true afterall. It's because when a trailer is rated, it usually means the trailer will debut in approximately a week's time. In our case, the movie in question is 300: Rise of an Empire. If it is, you can enjoy it in your theater on March 7th, but there's a strong possibility that it'll be released online couple of days early.

By way of our sister site Cybertron.CA we are pleased to report that the Transformers Generations 2014 Legends Wave 1 - aka Swerve with Flanker and Cosmos with Payload - have been released at Canadian retail. They were spotted in various stores around Ontario, as well as in Wal-Mart in Montreal.

This marks the first release of these toys on the North American continent. Can a US retail release be far off? We certainly hope not!

Actor Titus Welliver corrects his previous statement about Transformers: Age Of Extinction, where he mentioned it as “Not A Kids Movie”.

Today, Paramount Pictures reached us with a corrected statement:

Titus misspoke and released the following statement to clarify his comments: “I misspoke in my last interview when I said that Transformers 4 was not a kids movie…what I meant was that this film, will in fact expand their target audience and bring in a bigger fan base. Following the huge success of Transformers and their toy line, it is certainly a kids movie and with the addition of Mark Wahlberg, Transformers 4 will be the coolest in the franchise.”

We know from listings on Big Bad Toy Store that MP-21 will be Bumble, or Bumblebee as we know him in the West, but this is our first look at what this Masterpiece might look like - albeit a blacked out one.

Here's hoping for a full look in the near future!

Hat tip goes out to TFW2005 boards member cliffjumper15 for sharing with us a video posted on the Japanese website Niconico. The video shows off new iPhone cases in celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Transformers, which will include a G1 Optimus Prime, a G1 Megatron, and two other cases that look to show off both the Autobot cast and Decepticon cast.

At this time no ordering information appears to be available, but according to the video the cases may be "rimited," which we can assume was a typo and means limited release.

Check out the full video here and discuss after the jump!

We have received a You Tube Clip from 2005 Boards Member jon3pnt0, where we hear legendary voice artist Peter Cullen giving "life" to Optimus Prime.

The recording takes place at Creekside Audio, Ohio with the support from Rick Sellers and Wes McCraw.

Based on what is being recorded, we can assume that the recordings might be for Transformers: Age Of Extinction Merchandise such as Toys, Role Play Items or for the Video Game (Rise Of The Dark Spark).
