Thanks to TFW2005 boards member daimchoc and the Weibo account of third party group DX9 Toys, we've got our first colored figure images of Plague (Scourge) and Medilance (Ratchet) from the War In Pocket series!

DX9's Medilance is a redeco of their previously released Ironhide homage, Guartinel, while Plague is a new mold ready to be troop built! In the images provided you can also see some size comparisons along side their Speedo (Blurr) figure and Hasbro's Generations Titan Metroplex!

No release date info at this time, but stay tuned as we learn more! Check out the new images after the break.

The next DeNA Transformers: Legends event is now live.

The Lazy Sue, piloted by DIRK MANUS, is attacked by HUN-GURRR and CUTTHROAT. Just as his craft is about to take heavy damage, LIGHTSPEED, SCATTERSHOT, and AFTERBURNER arrive and drive the DECEPTICONS off.

Unbeknownst to the Technobots, DIRK MANUS is actually working with the Quintessons, who sent the Terrorcons to steal the Recreator from him before he could deliver it. With his deal with the Quintessons still a secret, DIRK MANUS convinces the Technobots to accompany him to deliver his package to his client.

Despite their setback, HUN-GURRR and CUTTHROAT are ordered to once again assault the Lazy Sue and take the Recreator from the human and his AUTOBOT companions. But the Technobots are wary from the last attack, and prepare themselves for potential attack.

Will HUN-GURRR and CUTTHROAT destroy the Technobots and steal the Recreator? Can LIGHTSPEED and the Technobots keep the Lazy Sue safe? How much money will DIRK MANUS make off this deal? Find out on TRANSFORMERS Legends: “Money Is Everything!”

Here is something interesting - via Planet Iacon Facebook group, we have a look at an Age of Extinction themed redeco of the Bearbrick Optimus Prime figure. Bearbrick Prime transforms from a cute bear figure that looks a bit like a Lego minifig into a fully poseable robot! This version skews closer to the movie series look and is branded Age of Extinction, while the previous one was Generation 1 themed. Interestingly the English logo for Transformers Age of Extinction appears on the box, rather than the usual Japanese version of the logo.

Hisashi Yuki has been active on his Twitter account, and has shared a couple of new images. One of the new shots shows the trio of female Autobots - Windblade, Chromia and Arcee - in their decos for the Japanese Transformers Legends line. They all arrive at Japanese retail in February.

There is also a new image of the Transformers Legends Sky-Byte, showing the toy both in box and also loose in robot mode. Notably this Japanese release of Generations Sky-Byte is inheriting his US dub name of Sky-Byte, although the Japanese text still says Gelshark, so he's got the best of both worlds name-wise. He's arriving in Japan later this month.

In a serverely unexpected turn of events (given how the Generations series has such problems getting to UK retail) we are proud to report that the new Generations Combiner Wars series has arrived in the UK! We have sightings from both TFW2005 member Robotochan in North Yorkshire and my very good friend, "Emperor" Shockscream, who spotted them in Derby!

So far, the sightings are only of the Voyager class figures - Silverbolt and Optimus Prime - though Shockscream reports that shelf space has been cleared for the Deluxes, though as yet no sightings on those.

As with the Robots in Disguise Warrior class toys, the place to check is Smyths Toy Superstores. Happy hunting, my UK brethren!

First, Ireland, then, the UK, now, it's the USA's turn! The new Robots in Disguise Warrior assortment has reached US retail. The set of four - Steeljaw, Bumblebee, Strongarm and Grimlock - were found at a Toys R Us in Woodridge, Illinois.

Big thanks go to TFW2005 member Danimal for the heads up!

Not sure if these toys are for you? Check out my fellow TFW2005 newsie Jacer's thoughts and pics of Bumblebee, Steeljaw and Strongarm to see if we cannot enable you on some new Transformers purchases!

Yet another toy rumor has just surfaced! TFW2005 boards member DecepticusPrime has once again come to us with some new info, reporting finding listings for both some previously-rumored and, more interestingly, some previously-unknown figures in Walmart's systems.

The brand new listings are for:

• Generations Deluxe Sunstreaker
• Generations Deluxe Ironhide
• Generations Deluxe Prowl
• Generations Deluxe Mirage

And as for listings we'd already heard of before, we now have even more evidence of the Protectobots (and by extension Defensor) happening:

• Protectobot Blades
• Protectobot Streetwise
• Protectobot First Aid
• Protectobot Rook

It's currently unknown to us what exactly Sunstreaker, Ironhide, Prowl, and Mirage are - fans have been speculating that Mirage could be retooled from Deluxe Drag Strip, so is it possible these are retools of the already-existing Transformers: Generations Combiner Wars Deluxe limbs; a halfways reference to the G1 episode Masquerade to further fill out the Autobot ranks?

We'll just have to wait and see - but for now, you can check it out and discuss after the jump!

Some new images have been released showing FansToys next Iron Dibot release. Revisiting their first Dinobot, the group will be doing a second version of their popular Scoria, who was based on Generation 1 Slag. This version will be based on the original toy, rather than the cartoon animation model, so will feature details such as a black red, red triceratops horns and an all-chrome gun.

There are two versions of the Scoria Toy Version coming in April 2014 - a mass retail one FT-04T, and one which is limited to 1000 pieces, FT-04X.

Our sponsor TFSource currently has both versions up for preorder:

We have received report that the next pair of new Transformers Rescue Bots are rolling to the rescue! Boulder and Chase are now showing up at retail in their new "rescanned" alternate modes - Chase as a police SUV and Boulder as a dump truck. Notably, the Boulder features black wheels rather than green ones matching the rest of the toy, like earlier official promo images implied.

These two were spotted at a Target in Westminster, South California! Big thanks to TFW2005 member OCProwl for the heads up.

TFW2005 member Bumblebee2008 reports finding the three Aerialbots in the first wave of Deluxes - Alpha Bravo, Skydive and Firefly - at a Smyths toy store in Milton Keynes! This backs up previous reports that Smyths stores were clearing space - and now we have a sighting.

Hisashi Yuki has shared some in-hand images of the Takara-Tomy release of the Generations Leader Jetfire on his Twitter account. This release, a part of the Japanese Transformers Legends line, lacks the shiny red chrome on the armor and boosters that the Hasbro release posesses, and also adds some very slight additional paint applications, some of which were planned for the Hasbro release but budgeted out.

Check out the images and see what you make of this new Autobot release.

According to an article on The Gothamist, the original Transformers show will conclude its stint on Netflix, among many other non-Transformers related movies and TV shows. In related news to our Hisstank members, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero will also be departing.

If you haven't seen G1 yet, you have until January 1st to stream all four seasons! Time to start binge watching!
