IGN has just confirmed that Michael Bay will not be returning to direct Transformers 5.

After going back-and-forth multiple times concerning his directing the Transformers movies, it appears Michael Bay has finally decided not to return, instead opting to direct a Benghazi drama, titled "13 Hours" based on the novel by Mitchell Zuckoff.

The 5th live action Transformers film was officially announced earlier this month at the Hasbro third quarter 2014 earnings conference call, although after the box office success of Age of Extinction many assumed a 5th installment was a certainty.

Nagi Miyako has posted a slew of artwork he drew for Takara-Tomy on his Deviant Art account. These artworks are for the Transformers Cloud story chapters - prose chapters which were published on Takara-Tomy mall and told the story of a group of Autobots and Decepticons who journeyed the multiverse visiting many, many different continuities on their travels. Be sure to check them out - there are some truly amazing pieces of work in there to be appreciated!

Lena81822 on Ebay has posted an auction for the Masterpiece Megatron Gold Version. This gold version of the Masterpiece Megatron figure is set for a release toward the end of the year in Asian markets, and sports this premium gold paint job. We're not sure exactly what is meant to be referenced by this gold deco - our bets are it's either "because it looks cool" or a reference to how some early comic stories, such as the UK annual story "Victory", would sometimes color Megatron in gold rather than silver.

Whatever the reason, the gold does make Megatron look particularly regal. Check out a few in-hand pics of the robot mode after the break - the gun mode is not shown.

Revealed this past weekend are two new figure designs by the independent company Play With This Too. The two figures shown are Goldminer and Flarestrike! Goldminer is a remold and recolor of PWTT's already revealed Astroblast, which appears to homage the inner robot of Pretender Landmine. Similarly, Flarestrike (which we briefly saw at TFcon) is a new color scheme of their Jetstrike mold to homage Pretender Sunstorm and will only be available during PWTT's crowd funding campaign scheduled to launch in February. PWTT has more images on their homepage of these reveals and other projects as well.

What do you think of the reveals? Excited for potential Pretender homages? Sound off after the jump!
