A member of ACToys has got his hands on the upcoming Walmart exclusive Masterpiece Skywarp, and has kindly posted a few in-hand images. In addition to showing the jet and robot modes, these new images show both of Skywarp's heads, indicating that he will be using the same faces as the previously released Masterpiece Starscream and not the "high handed face" from the actual Masterpiece Skywarp release. Click on the link above or the title of this story to see all the images.

A user on the japanese message board Futaba Channel has posted some new in-hand images of the recently released Transformers Basecamp Gentei! Gentei! Strafe exclusive. We get a out and in package image, as well as peaks to the bio card on the back.
Strafe is a redeco of Universe Cyclonus and comes with a redecoed Targetmaster Nightstick named Rocketbot. He is an exclusive release for the Transformers Basecamp website and is tied into their Transformers Visa credit card. Thanks go to TFW2005 member DrillBit for translating part of his bio: The bio says Strafe got shot during battle and changed back to its old form (he was rebuilt from one of the deadbodies of some transformers inside Unicron right?). In this "old" form Strafe feels younger and can fly 1.8 times faster then before. Click on the title for more images. |

Japanese website Hobby Search has added new images for the upcoming addition to Takara-Tomy's Disney Label Line: Donald Duck. We get now clear views of his face including his snorkel mask (that can be lowered over his eyes), a surfboard/skateboard that can be stored in vehicle mode on his roof or ridden in robot mode, and his alternate mode that seems like a cross between Herbie and Bumblebee.
Disney Label Donald Duck is scheduled to be released in mid-December 2009. Click on the title bar for all images. |

A user on the chinese message board Actoys has recently shared some images of the just released Generation 1 Springer and Octane knock offs. For now, he has only shown the figures loose. We have no packaged images, making it impossible for now to judge any faults when and if these show up for sale as MISB pieces.
Click on the title bar above and see if you can spot the differences from a real Generation 1 piece. |

TFW2005 sister site Toyark.com is reporting that Hasbro's Transformers line was #1 in North America for the month of July, Hasbro has made huge strides in the U.K. as well. Due, in large part, to the tremendous popularity of summer's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Hasbro has taken the lead as the top toy manufacturer in the U.K.
"With Transformers riding high and its game range performing strongly, a bullish Hasbro has highlighted its position as the number one UK toy manufacturer, according to NPD figures. On the back of the movie sequel’s summer success, the Transformers range sold £2.6 million at retail in July giving it a 33 per cent share of the action figures sector. However, the firm’s current dominant market share is also driven by its games range, which is up 50 per cent in July with a 33.5 per cent share. Within this, Monopoly sales are up 45 per cent, Guess Who? up 257 per cent, Connect 4 up 337 per cent, Operation 193 per cent and Cluedo up 109 per cent." Read the entire article Here. |

KOToys.com has posted a gallery of images of a test shot of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen's Jungle Attack Ironhide. Helpfully, this test shot renders most of the newly remolded sections in white plastic, so you can see how much this version of Ironhide differs from previous versions, such as the first Revenge of the Fallen Ironhide.

TFW2005 sponsor TFSource needs a graphic designer on their staff! Interested? Check out the following:
We’re looking for a good, no great designer that is passionate about Transformers, and can bring some flavor to the already exciting TFsource team. The work time is flexible, anywhere from 1-4 projects a month, and although this is posted publically, we prefer an active member of the TFW2005 boards. Your design and creative needs to be top notch, you have to know and love the toys just as much as we do, and you have to be able to do both creative and production level artwork as we’re not hiring two people. It is a freelance type position, but with lots of perks, and besides, who said you can’t love what you do at work? We at TFsource do! We have our first project posted here at Crowdspring, but you can submit your rate sheet/portfolio directly to us as well at: curt@tfsource.com Click on the title bar to read more about this exciting opportunity! |

Hasbro have updated the wallpapers section of the official Transformers Homepage with print adverts for Human Alliance Sideswipe and Supreme Combiner Constructicon Devastator. There are two different versions on site - wallpaper sized versions, and the actual versions used in print publications such as Toyfare. Also in this update to the site, a countdown has been added to the main page, ticking down the days until Revenge of the Fallen is released on DVD and Blu Ray.

Transformers Animated fans, we've got a date for you to add to your diaries! According to wholesaler site Entertainment Earth, Transformers Animated Deluxe Wave 7 is due for release in December 2009! This new wave of Deluxes will include the new redecos Freeway Jazz and Electrostatic Soundwave.
However, as Entertainment Earth also has a release date of September 2009 for the sixth wave of Animated Activators - which contains the recently released Soundwave and Fireblast Grimlock - do not take this date as set in stone - they just might slip out to market a little earlier or later. There has been no official confirmation of these dates from Hasbro as yet - watch this space for updates! |
