The English version of Transformers: Rising was released a couple of days ago. However, the game was unavailable for majority of the players to download and with no official explanation.

The team at the Transformers: Rising Facebook Fan Page investigated the matter and stated that the English version released on March 12th was only for the South-East Asian region. The page also mentions that the US and UK release are both in development.

Today, after the third server went live for the game, fans inquired from the Official Transformers: Rising Facebook page regarding the confusion. Efun then made the following statement:

"for the moment the game is released in Southeast Asia region. We do apologize for the inconvenience we bring. Thanks."

We do not know how the roll out is going to happen at the moment. We'll update with more info, as we get it.

TFW2005 sponsor TFsource just dropped by to deliver some new Warbotron updates for their Bruticus and Computron inspired combiner projects.

The first two updates we've received are two figures belonging to their Computron gestalt. Preorders are now open for the next release, WB03-B, or more easily referred to as "Lightspeed." The next reveal is for WB03-C, better known as Nosecone. These figures are slated for a May and June release. Keep an eye here for more of our sponsor's preorder listings.

To round out the update, we also have new images of the mini-Shockwave figure that will come with several weapons and accessories for their Bruticus project. This X-ray and gun set will require some assembly as all parts come on sprues.

Join in on the discussion for Warbotron's Bruticus here, and make the jump to start discussing the newly revealed "Lightspeed" figure.

Staff edit:

BigBadToyStore has put up preorders as well.

Film illustrator & Director Augusto Barranco has shared several concept images of Transformers: Robots In Disguise villain Underbite.

Underbit was the first Decepticon villain we met in the series. And it's interesting to see what animal he is based on and how he came to be.

We've mirrored the images with this news post. Check 'em out, after the jump.

It's new comic previews day, and IDW has released a high-res version of the standard retailer incentive cover for Transformers #39, the opening salvo of the Combiner Wars. This retailer incentive cover features Swindle commanding Menasor to battle - a hint of what is to come, or merely a reference to how Swindle was initially responsible for Menasor's appearance in the first arc of the Mike Costa ongoing series? You'll have to pick up the book on its release tomorrow to find out!

(IDW have also released a preview of Transformers #39, but it has the same story pages as what was posted on iTunes a couple of weeks ago. Check it out here)

Courtesy of Snakas (Autobase Aichi), we have ourselves a look at a possible new Transformers: Generations subline - the Cyber Series, which seems to be a new line with simpler transformations intended for younger audiences. The line, thus far, looks to include Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Megatron.

Check it out after the break, and be sure to keep an eye out as there's bound to be more info coming soon!

Update: That was fast! Thanks to TFW2005 boards member Ra88, we have a translation of the Brazilian catalog these images came from:

"In the catalog of the Brazilian distributors for, new series of Generations has been posted.
The listed is the "Generations Cyber series" that new line, pattern of low age for simple deformation items in the motif G1 character. It seems to expand in two sizes.
"Cyber 11 Assorted" is, to catalog the size of the street 11 inches of its name (about 28 cm), Optimus Prime and Bumblebee of G1-style new design has been published.
Another size is a "cyber 7 Assorted", 7 inches (about 18 cm). Megatron to deform in tanks has been posted. Perhaps, the other day Starscream, which was exhibited in special events of the Indianapolis Children's Museum also, I will think or not than a lineup of seven inches size of series.
Pattern of release since autumn."

Sad news comes to us regarding Europe's largest Transformers convention, Auto Assembly. It has been announced that Auto Assembly 2015 will be the last ever Auto Assembly.

Founded in 2000, with its first convention held on 22 October 2000, Auto Assembly's first convention attracted just 31 guests, but the years that followed saw the convention bloom into the largest Transformers convention in Europe. What started out as a one-day event became a full weekend event, over the years playing host to the likes of David Kaye, Garry Chalk, Scott McNeil, Townsend Coleman, Sumalee Montano, Gregg Berger, Dan Gilvezan and many more - a veritable who's who of Transformers talent, to say nothing of the many artists and creators who have also attended over the years.

The reasons for drawing Auto Assembly to a close are nothing sinister, but merely the most human reasons of all. Faced with increasingly busy daily lives, and other concerns, the team has decided not to compromise on the quality of the conventions, but to go out on a high note with what they hope will be the biggest and best Auto Assembly yet.

The final Auto Assembly will be held at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel in Birmingham, England, on 21st - 23rd August 2015. Join us in seeing out Europe's largest Transformers convention with a bang! Find out more and pre-register today at the Auto Assembly homepage.
