Perfect Effect haven't stopped at just showing off the Warden redeco today, folks. They've also partially revealed their next project, Deathstalker - an unofficial version of Scorponok. Thus far only the head itself has been revealed - but a partially silhouetted image shows the main figure itself, standing a fair amount taller than the already substantial Warden. Check out the first images of this interesting project attached to this post.

Thanks to Youtube channel ResurrectecForEver, we have a semi new trailer for Transformers 4 Age of Extinction!

It is basically the theatrical trailer we saw last week, but there are some new additions and alterations. Instead of ReallySlowMotion's amazing music, now it has Imagine Dragon's new song for the movie; Battle Cry. And there are also some new scenes like Crosshairs doing a front flip while jumping off from the drone ship, and the famous ''Sweetie, hand me my alien gun!'' scene we heard from Cinemacon. Enjoy!

Update: Added the 1080p HD version of the new trailer:

Cartoon Network have updated their site with a small promotional area for Transformers Age of Extinction. While there is nothing new, per se, you might find some of the material on the site interesting, particularly the demonstrations of how some of the transformations work.

Via Planet Iacon on Facebook we have learned that in addition to this year's Asian market reissues of the Masterpiece series Transformers, in 2015 - to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Transformers releasing in Japan, possibly - Takara-Tomy will be reissuing four of the Masterpiece series Transformers. The four to be reissued are MP-12 Lambor / Sideswipe and MP-14 (Red) Alert in February 2015, followed by MP-11 Starscream version 2 in March 2015 and then to top it all off, MP-10 Convoy version 2 will be reissued in April 2015.

These reissues are almost a year away - but that means more time to put aside some money if you missed out on these guys the first time out.

Renderform have unveiled another two projects tonight. The first one is Death Czar, an alternate head for Predacons Rising Darksteel to convert him into the big bad of Transformers Victory, Deathsaurus! This new set includes a new head and also a new weapon which is modeled on Deathsaurus' weapon from Transformers Victory. It's a limited run of 250 pieces, and complements the recent Reprolabels Darksteel to Deathsaurus sticker set rather nicely.

A second set, named "Crimson Faust", is also being produced. This set is a red version of the Death Czar and is colored to go with Transformers Go Budora, to convert him into a homage of Deathsaurus' Brave series redeco, Red Geist - which you may also know as Shattered Glass Deathsaurus.

Check out Renderform's page for both kits for more information.

Snakas has posted a (Japanese language) roundup of the recent Transformers 30th anniversary celebration event in Japan, where the Takara-Tomy Transformers team were in attendance.

While at the event, the team dropped a few hints at future plans. The first hint was that the team want to put out more Generation 1 themed recolors of the Age of Extinction Dinobot toys in addition to the already-announced recolors of Grimlock and Slug.

The second one which will please Masterpiece fans was a declaration that in the future, more Destron Masterpieces will come out. No hints at whom, though with Takara-Tomy's trend at looking to the early years of Transformers, safe bets might be the likes of Shockwave, a new Megatron, Galvatron, or possibly the three Decepticon "conehead" jets given the easy mold reuse potential. Keep it TFW for more news on that morsel!

It was also hinted that more past Transformers Movie toys might make an appearance in the Takara-Tomy Movie Advanced line, the Japanese version of the Age of Extinction Generations series which has already featured reuses of the popular Battle Blade Optimus Prime and Battle Blade Bumblebee toys.

You can check out the full text of Snakas' report here (in Japanese, so you might want to run it through Google Translate or another online translator).

Perfect Effect have unveiled a redeco of their popular Warden unofficial Fortress Maximus figure. This figure, Guardian, is based on the colors of the Brave Maximus version of Fort Max (or if you prefer, it is homaging Robots in Disguise Fortress Maximus). Two versions are planned - an 800 piece limited edition version launching at conventions starting in June 2014, which will feature special box art. It's listed as being available at conventions in USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Japan, Singapore - so chances are you will be able to find this at major summer conventions such as TFcon 2014 and Auto Assembly 2014. A regular edition is also stated to be planned for fourth quarter 2014 if you miss out on the convention exclusive version.

But that's not all - Jagex have also let us know that they will be releasing a special "behind the scenes" video later this week, to shed some light on the process behind the development of the MOTA. Lastly if you are in London in the UK, Jagex will be at the MCM Comic Con - giving you a chance to get hands on with the new game!

Like we previously reported, Oreo brand released its brand new TV commercial for their Transformers 4 Age of Extinction campaign.

The commercial is directed by Michael Bay himself, and it uses a whole lot of the infamous scene where Optimus gets shot by Lockdown... twice. From this commercial, we see get to see the extended version of it and Optimus gets shot from behind first (like in the trailers), then when he turns around, he gets the final shot that knocks him down. But of course he gets up by the power of... Oreos.

Check out the cool clip below and discuss it on our boards.

Nikko RC has updated their Facebook page with some new images from their upcoming Transformers: Age Of Extinction line.

First things first: The mysterious Helicopter now has a Faction Symbol. To check out what it is… take a look at the image attached with this news post. But the name of the robot is not revealed yet.

Also, we have with us a good look at the Lockdown RC Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. The official Facebook page also teases us with more screen-accurate Optimus Prime and Bumblebee RC Vehicles that will release in the future.

TFW2005 also received some Hi Res images of the Transformers: Age Of Extinction Nikko RC toys seen at the UK Toy Fair. However, the Helicopter does not contain the Faction Symbol, indication the hi-res images are a bit old.

Speaking of Nikko, the company was recently purchased by Toy State. However, their dedication towards the partnership brands such as Transformers will remain the same.

Checkout all of these, at the images section of this news post.

Toys R Us have begun to put out the shelftags for the reissue of Masterpiece Grimlock. Thanks to this fact, we can reveal that Masterpiece Grimlock seems to be set to retail for a low price of $59.99, which was the RRP of Grimlock the first time out.

Please do not get your hopes up too much though - this price seems almost too good to be true, especially given that the cost of making a Transformer as complicated as Grimlock has increased a little since the last go round. So this might turn out to be the old RRP still stuck in TRU's system.

However if this does prove to be accurate, it means that everyone is in with a shot at getting themselves a Masterpiece Grimlock for a steal of a price - big thanks goes to mumdb1 for sharing this information with us.

Via Japanese retailer Maruzen we have learned the possible identities of the final three listed releases for the Takara-Tomy Movie Advance Age of Extinction line. The three listings are AD-28 Snarl, AD-29 "Kurabar" which might mean Clubber or maybe Slugger, a name that popped up in the leaked listings and is probably an alternate name for Slog, and lastly AD-30 which is the speculated Voyager Drift.

The listing for Drift implies some movie spoilers - highlight to read - he's listed as a helicopter which implies Drift might rescan a second alternate mode during the movie - it might also be his "Decepticon" form or play into the earlier rumors Cyclonus would make an appearance.

No pictures as yet but this confirms all but two of the Takara-Tomy Movie Advance releases - and popular thought is one of those two is Stinger. Keep it TFW for more news.

As you all know, Imagine Dragons took over the role of Official Transformers Live Action Movie Band from Linkin Park who performed for the last three movies.

Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington talked to Europa Plus, a radio station in Moscow regarding their involvement with Transformers: Age Of Extinction and CB fan website chesterbnetwork.com translated the interview.

Question: Will the band participate in the creation of music for the fourth part of “Transformers”?

Chester: There’s definitely some discussion going on, something related to producing music, so I hope everything will be settled and we can take part in the new Transformers. We really like the film itself, and our partnership with Transformers. We grew up loving the Transformers, so it is very cool to be a part of this.
