The Hollywood Reporter has the first look at Saturday's installment of Transformers: Prime Episode #19; Rock Bottom and co-creators Roberto Orci and Jeff Kline discuss the series' genesis.


"We literally started from ground zero," he said, adding that they "were working out of the lobby of Kurtzman and Orci's company" during the first few weeks.

Since Transformers: Prime's launch on Nov. 29, 2010, the animated series has performed well in the ratings. A second season will begin airing in late November.

Several auctions have popped up across the board for a potential recolor of Transformers Dark of the Moon Shockwave. This version of Shockwave drops a lot of purple for gray, which in robot mode will probably give Shockwave a purple head and chest, and gray almost everywhere else. The deco just might be inspired by the original Astro Magnum toy that Shockwave was inspired by.

Check out the original auctions here, here and here. Or alternatively read on and view our mirror of all the images.

Junkion Blacksmith Studio has updated their Weibo stream (requires registration) with images of their second Infinity Warfare set. These new images demonstrate how the set can combine with the first Infinity Warfare set to form even more gigantic weapons than the original set could do on its own (and they were pretty huge!)

Check out the images which we have mirrored for you by reading on.

Here's something for the oddities shelf - Transformers Dark of the Moon Eggbods. Eggbods are small wind-up toys with egg shaped bodies, who can swap their top halves with one another. The Transformers versions are cute super-deformed versions of Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee, known in this series as Eggtimus Prime, Eggatron and Bumble Egg (the factions also got new names, Auto-Eggs and Decepti-Eggs). They look like great, cute fun toys and they're available now in the UK priced £5.99! Eggatron even comes with a shotgun!

Here's something fun for you this morning. The Delta 4 rocket that recently launched the GPS IIF-2 satellite had a very interesting mission patch. Check out the shape of it - does it look familiar to you? Perhaps the GPS IIF-2 or the Delta 4 are more than meets the eye... or at the very least there's someone on staff who thought slapping an Autobrand on the mission would be cool.

Check out the full coverage over at Spaceflight Now.

The latest reveal from TFC Toys (via the TFClub Weibo) about their Hercules custom Devastator is the weapon system. Several 2005 Boards members have suggested that the various guns that come with Exgraver and the rest might combine, and they were right on the money! This new concept sketch shows how the various guns would appear to clip together, Landcross style, into a single gigantic rifle weapon for the final combiner. Check out the sketch and join in the ongoing discussion about Hercules by clicking the discuss link.

We here at TFW have been busy as heck since Botcon 2011. Almost non stop, the site picked up leading into the Transformers movie launch. Increased users online, server problems, and a ton of other things, kept us in a tizzy.

One thing we overlooked was the fact that one of TFW2005's own, Dark-Sakura, won 1st place for her entry into the Botcon 2011 Art Contest. On top of it being awesome she won, and down with 2005, the other angle is that she is none-other than the daughter of long time 2005 Veteran Shin-Gouki.

We congratulate her, and her proud dad, for taking home the prize. (And apologize for taking so long to get this up!)

Check out the entry after the break, and if you are a 2005 member and won something during Botcon 2011, make sure to let us know!

Transformers artist Guido Guidi has shared a look at some alternate panels from the recent Transformers #20. In the published version, a wounded Sweep is healed by Galvatron and the power of the Heart of Darkness. In this alternate version, Galvatron's response is a little more in line with the Decepticon we know and love. Check out the pages on Guido's Deviant Art account:
