2005 Boards member GenZhao has shared some images of the Japanese exclusive Micron Volter with us. Volter (who is traditionally known as Vortex in the English line), who was recently released, is one of two exclusive Microns available only with an application for a Japanese Transformers themed Credit Card - making him one of the rarer pieces released in recent years.

52Toys, the personal blog of 2005 Boards member S250, has posted the animation model for Transformers Animated Powerglide. Powerglide stays true to his Generation 1 design with big shoulders and his traditional head style.

Also, recently posted by S250 were several animation models from the latest episode of Transformers Animated, Decepticon Air. These models include both of Starscream's clones, Liar "Ramjet" and Suck-Up "Sunstorm" with their new (read: Generation 1 inspired) helmets. Also posted were animation models of Grandus in vehicle mode from the parade at the end of the episode, and models for Flare Up and Tracks, who made cameos in the crowd watching the parade. You can check out all of the images by clicking on the title of this story.

IGN has posted some further information on the Nintendo DS Transformers Revenge of the Fallen video games. They state that downloadable challenge missions, pitting players worldwide against one another will make a return appearance, in addition to head-to-head deathmatch battles. There are also stated to be 25 diverse locations to "drive, fly and fight" your way through. Most interesting of all, though, is the possibility to fully customize your characters -

For the first time, players can customize their own TRANSFORMERS robot with a modular body part system. Throughout the game, players will have the ability to scan objects to unlock new parts and upgrade their character by installing new unlockable parts in the Medical Bay as they progress through the game.

According to gojulasprime23, the height of this Robot Heroes figure is about 5 inches from foot to raised hand. If accurate, Devastator would be the first larger-sized Robot Heroes figure. There is currently no word regarding what type of Robot Heroes pack that Devastator will be included in. Check out the new images by clicking on the thumbnail to the left.

On this day, May 8th, twenty-five years ago, the world was taken by storm by the launch of The Transformers. The first, iconic issue of Marvel Comics Transformers miniseries - which was edited by the legendary Bob Budiansky, and accompanied by art by Frank Springer - was published on this day in 1984, and introduced us to the now classic characters of Optimus Prime, Megatron, Ironhide, Starscream, Bumblebee and so many more. In the months that followed, the massively successful toyline would top every child's "want list", and Sunbow's cartoon would captivate the imaginations of children the world over.

In the 25 years that have followed, Transformers has gone from strength to strength, with an animated movie, a blockbuster live action movie (with the sequel, Revenge of the Fallen, due in less than two months!), and more than a dozen animated series in both America and Japan with a combined total episode count exceeding 600 episodes, and thousands of toys in every shape and size, from the gigantic Fortress Maximus to the tiny World's Smallest Transformable Ravage.

Click on the discuss button to share you favorite memories of the Transformers line, whether you have been a fan from the 8th of May 1984, or a new fan captivated by the world of Transformers after seeing Michael Bay's 2007 Live Action Movie.
