Karyuudo Fansubs has dropped by and let us know that their complete subtitling of Transformers Car Robots is now done! For those that don't know, Car Robots is the Japanese version of Transformers Robots In Disguise (2001) in the West. Watching the series subtitled in Japanese will be a different beast for sure, as many liberties were taken when the folks at Saban and Fox Kids translated it into English. Not that it was a bad job, but seeing a series in it's original language should give you a different perspective and is worth a look. On top of the subtitled episodes, Karyuudo also has a ton of bonus content related to the show.

The set includes the following:

- All 39 Episodes in the Original Japanese Audio with English subtitles
- Clean Opening and Ending Songs
- Toy Commercials Spots
- Marionette CD Single Commercial Spot
- A Complete Reference Guide (PDF Format) - Explaining translations, cultural references and information from the series
- Transformers Car Robots - Original Soundtrack
- Blazing Overdrive CD Single
- Marionette CD Single
- DVD Cover Scans
- Scans from Hero Super Guidebook 10 - Transformers Car Robots: Warriors Battle Guidebook!
- Karyuudo Fansubs Promotional Material
- English Cover Song of Blazing Overdrive by Glocktimus Prime
- All 39 script files that we created / timed + the fonts used

Head on over to the forums and discuss!

The Evangelion X Transformers fiction has been updated on Takara Tomy's website today with part 2 of 3. In this round, we get an appearance by Starscream and Unicron, maybe.

We are still waiting for the new Transformers: Age Of Extinction trailer, but in the meantime we have with us an updated version of the SuperBowl TV Spot.

The updated version now features:

• Galvatron with a more accurate color scheme
• More spaceships added
• Crosshairs wearing his goggles
• Cade's punching scene has the Nightship visible in the sky

But the biggest change has been done to the scene where Optimus Prime is on Grimlock. Grimlock's character model has slightly changed and he is smaller in scale than before. Optimus also raises the Sword Of Justice rather than lowering it.

Check it out, after the jump.

Hat tip to TFW2005 boards member jru42287 for providing us with our first image of the Toys R Us exclusive Masterpiece Sunstorm. We've been getting a few tidbits of news about this guy lately, namely his price and possible release date in June. We now have a single image, although still a little hard to make out, revealing the deco for this figure. Sunstorm looks to be a different shade of orange from the Takara release with red detailing around the thighs and shins, as well as what looks like a brown colored helmet. Hopefully official stock images will arrive soon to confirm.

Also included with the image is the full bio of Sunstorm, which you can read in its entirety after the jump.

What do you think of the North American release of Sunstorm? Sound off after the break.
