Here is a news about Nerf N-Strike Barricade RV-10 Special Edition Transformers Optimus Prime Blaster straight from GeekDad.

This Barricade RV-10 features styling based on Optimus Prime from Transformers, in addition to:

• a motorized, semi-automatic Nerf blaster
• a revolving dart barrel that holds 10 whistle darts
• compatibility with the Nerf Tactical Rail System accessories

You’ll need three AA batteries (not included), so bring them and $24.99 to booth #3329 at the San Diego Comic-Con 2011 next week, because for now that’s the only place you can buy it.

Once Comic-Con is over, it will be available in limited quantities at HasbroToyShop.com.

Transformers comic artist Guido Guidi recently sent out a Tweet informing a fan that issues 19-21 of the Transformers Ongoing comic from IDW will be his last for the forseeable future.

Sad news indeed. Guido has been drawing and contributing to the Transformers brand for many years now. Some of his most famous include IDW's "All Hail Megatron" and Dreamwaves "Armada" and "Energon" comics. That's not even close to being all he's done!

Jump in on the discussion after the break.

Staff Edit: Guido himself stopped by the 2005 Boards and clarified what he meant

Sure, I'm a freelance and can never say if or when I'll be back on a certain product, it depends on many factors. that's why I said "foreseeable".
Also I had other breaks from Idw Transformers in the past... but nobody noticed that

TFC Toys have shared some new images of their three upcoming Junkion Blacksmith Headmasters. Destruction Lord, Broadcaster and Earth Commander are Headmaster head versions of Megatron, Blaster and Ultra Magnus respectively. Each one transforms into a robot, head and vehicle form. These images are of white prototype versions. Also shown is some concept artwork of what we assume is going to be the box art.

These images were originally posted to TFC Toys Weibo account, and were subsequently reposted on ACToys.

Site sponsors Big Bad Toy Store have put up a listing for a new offering from Corbot V - the Carnage Axe. Corbot V's previous release as you may be aware was the War Axe - an axe accessory designed for War for Cybertron Optimus Prime.

The Carnage Axe is a redeco of the original War Axe, in black and red with a gray handle to match with the recently released Tokyo Toy Show Darkside Optimus Prime. It's looking very sharp in its new deco! According to 2005 Boards member Venksta this is a limited run item, hence the slightly higher price - so if you like it, get your preorder in now to avoid disappointment!

Takara-tomy have updated their website with a couple of new pages for their upcoming special releases. On the exclusive toys front, they have added a page for the E-Hobby exclusive Masterpiece Black Rodimus Convoy, complete with new images including a huge one showcasing all the features and gimmicks. Check out the new images, they show off the mold at its best.

On the Encore front, a page has also opened for Encore Devastator, though these images are the same ones we have seen before. They're still using placeholder images, based on a 1985 catalog prototype, so the final version will be a little different from what you're seeing here.
