3rd party group Justitoys has updated their Facebook page with some new prototype images of their upcoming Worlds Smallest Transformers Astrotrain unofficial toy. Aside from the size of this impressive piece is that for once, Astrotrain appears to have normal length arms. Unlike the original Generation 1 toy that had fairly stubby arms.

A new episode of Transformers Prime aired in Canada on Teletoon this past Sunday. 2005 Board member Autovolt 127 was fortunate enough to catch it and give us the run down on the new episode.

In this new episode, a skirmish with the Decepticons leads the Autobots to find an ancient artifact that ends up beaming a formula for Synthetic Energon into Bulkhead's head. But, the formula starts to occupy Bulkhead's mind to the point of his mind being lost forever! Of course, this is all Miko's fault.

No official word yet if this episode will air this coming Saturday on the Hub, nor is a title provided just yet. We will keep you posted as more information becomes available. In the meantime, feel free to click the discuss button and join in on the spoilerific thread!

Thanks to TFW2005 Contributor Jarodimus, we now have a look at Perfect Effect's next product, known only as PE-12. Just what is this product? Not much is known, except for that it is a motorcycle that may or may not transform that can be ridden by smaller Perfect Effect toys (one of which may or not be included.) What exactly could this product be? Is this a Perfect Effect Junkion? Maybe an Armada Sideways? Speculate and discuss away in the thread.

iGear recently updated their Facebook page with a Photoshopped image of their PP05M Medical Specialist that bears a striking resemblance to another fan-favorite chief medical officer. While there is a disclaimer present on the image stating that this may not be the final color scheme chosen, it's likely that the final product could end up looking very close.

iGear, much like other "3rd party" companies, often listen to the fan's responses on items such as these, and TFW2005.com members have already been chiming in with their opinions of what they would like to see and not see. Are you happy with what you see when you click the image or do you see something you feel could use some attention before this product is released? Be sure to discuss your thoughts with others here!

Many collectors who are a fan of the World's Smallest Transformers line (or WST for short), find themselves with a lot of gaps in their collection. For those who want some Stunticons are at least one step closer to closing these gaps with this release here. What looks to be a figured based very closely from the WST Lambor, this figure sports a familiar white and blue deco and also comes with two rifles!

One of the main reasons the Staff here at TFW2005.com wish to continually bring you news such as this is to continually alert buyers to "unofficial" products. This product, along with others, are not manufactured by either Hasbro or TakaraTOMY, nor do they hint at any official revival of the WST series.

If you are interested in other WST figures that are also made in an "unofficial" capacity, you can always check out the WST Customs found in the Legends And World Smallest Transformers Customs Gallery!

Guess what? It's another first sighting! And this one is easily the most adorable sighting in a while, as TFW2005 member Hollywood Hoist has found and purchased the Bumblebee Garage from the Transformers: Rescue Bots subline at a Toys 'R Us in Washington.

Hollywood Hoist has also mentioned that "[the employees] initially said that it was recalled, but later said it wasn't due out until 9/20. They eventually sold it to me."

A bit of a Double Punch of Revoltech news today. Thanks to the official SciFi Revoltech webpage we have a small preview of the upcoming Movie Prime's box, which is a window-less box like the rest of the Sci-Fi Revoltech line.

Unfortunately, the toy has also had it's release date pushed back from September 1st. The toy's new release date is September 15th. The alleged reason for the delay was so that they could make more of the product to meet the higher than anticipated demand.

Another sighting, and unlike the others this one has seemingly come out of nowhere. TFW2005 member Yaujta has found something completely new at his local K-Mart: New(ish) DOTM Robot Heroes Puzzle Packs. While the Robot Heroes are simply just earlier Movie Robot Heroes molds repainted, the toys come with puzzles are single-packed instead of in pairs. In this wave are Megatron (with his Movie 1 Design), Optimus Prime, and Sideswipe.

Do you have any sightings to share with your fellow collectors? Well come on over to the Sightings Forum, and share the love.

We’ve been hearing a lot about Transformers: Universe; the upcoming browser based MMO game by Jagex. But what about Transformers: Online; the video game by NetDragon for the Asian region?

TFW2005 Boards Member MechanovaKing is the right man for the job. He brought some cool stuff to share with all of us.

According to the MMO Game News Website, MMOCulture.com Transformers: Online limited close beta (or Elite Close Beta as the Chinese gaming industry would call it) has been started.

And at the China Digital Entertainment Expo & Conference a.k.a ChinaJoy2011 a Teaser Trailer made its debut.


The game is a Third Person Shooter very much like Transformers: War For Cybertron (sequel is also coming next year).

Prepare to open your wallets movie-toy collectors because the Japanese exclusive Skywarp has been released at Toys'R'Us stores in Japan!

For those who spent 3,000 yen or more, they also received a free Dark Side of the Moon Optimus Prime (EZ) figure.

It's reported that the Skywarp figure, which many collectors were hoping would find a release somewhere in the United States, has nothing on the packaging that relates it to Hasbro (TakaraTomy and Paramount are the only company logos shown). Click the story to see all the pictures!
