Time for some Hercules news! This behometh is lurking on the horizon of being fully completed. Some new images have popped up over the last week in our extremely popular Hercules Mega Thread courtesy of weibo.com/jeffyzhong. First up is an image of Hercules utilizing two Exgraver arms and two Structor legs. This picture gives us a great sense of scale, especially with voyager Classics Optimus having his head crushed in the picture. Additionally, there are pictures of Hercules holding Dr. Cranks crane as a weapon, Structor in vehicle mode with his wings deployed and some prototypes of their World War 2 Power Core Combiner Drones.

Take a look at all the pictures after clicking the title bar and then join the Hercules Mega Thread to discuss!

The Transformers Ride info continues to roll in! Tonight we have a

, courtesy of youtube user, BIGBEARSG. This video is a full walkthrough of the que area, where fans will get to wait in line to experience the ride. In this video you get to see each room, plus nearly all the pre-show videos which help tell the story of the Transformers universe. Ironhide, Rachet, Wheelie, Optimus, and EVAC all join in to tell the story. Which means this ride takes place right after Revenge of The Fallen, despite some footage from Dark Of The Moon being shown. You also see the gift shop and cafe that were built near the exit as well as a quick look at the EVAC ride vehicles in action.

This surely is an exciting time to be a Transformers fan. Seldom do we get to experience something that actually puts us inside the Transformers Universe. The Transformers Ride at Resorts World Sentosa in Universal Studios Singapore will open on December 3rd.

Keroro Gunso (aka Sgt. Frog) Transformers Crossover? Yes, for real! The next issue of Kero Kero Ace magazine in Japan, released on December 26 2011, will come with an exclusive green recolor of the old Legends Class Starscream toy, dubbed "Keroroscream". This is certainly one of those weirder Japanese exclusive releases that'll probably only appeal to some areas of the fandom, but it's pretty cool as far as bright green fighter jet toys go.

Credit to Snakas for the original news report. Also check out this Wikipedia article to learn more about Sgt. Frog, which is where the deco of this Starscream is inspired from.

Time for another gallery update, and we've got something different and special for you tonight. Here for your enjoyment is a gallery of the Sci-Fi Revoltech Movie Optimus Prime! Revoltech is a line of anime and movie figures by Japanese manufacturers Kaiyado, specializing in a high degree of accuracy to the original design and high levels of poseability. The Sci-Fi sub-series takes this concept and applies it to the great characters of the silver screen, such as Alien, Predator and Batman. Optimus Prime from the live-action movies has received the Sci-Fi Revoltech treatment and as these images submitted by 2005 Boards member Russian fan demonstrate, he looks rather fantastic!

A new image posted through the TFC Toys Weibo account shows Hercules member #3 Structor in package! Structor's looking mighty fine with a green front shovel, and in homage to the original Scrapper coming with the Devastator chest, this one comes with a pair of wings which combine with parts from Mad Blender aka Mixmaster to form the chestplate of Hercules.

Opening this Saturday at Universal Studios Singapore is Transformers the Ride! This ride, featuring the voice talent of Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime and with Michael Bay in the role of creative consultant takes audiences into the world of the Transformers live action movie series - a world transformed, where things are not as they seem!

All joking and quotes from the 80's Marvel comic aside, the ride is shaping up to be the definitive Transformers theme park experience. The ride will feature more than 10 Transformers including Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Wheelie, Megatron, Ravage, Sideways, Grindor, Bonecrusher, Starscream and the awesome Devastator. Audiences will also be introduced to the new Transformer Evac.

A new video has been posted to Youtube which talks about the creative process behind the ride and shows some of the highlights, including a couple of clips of Devastator on the attack and a scene where the audience are "pulled" through a building - which must be a real experience in 3D! Check it out below.

A small teaser for the upcoming reveal of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is now online. The full trailer based on the Opening Cinematic of the game is to debut this December 10th on Spike TV for the annual Video Game Awards. High Moon Studios/Activision pulled off the same stunt for Transformers: War for Cybertron; the predecessor of FOC and left fans drooling for the release.

Some in-hand images of the Dark of the Moon repack of the Movie series Buster Optimus Prime and Jetfire two pack have surfaced over at HK-TF courtesy of HKGolden Cybertron. These images confirm this set is a little different from a straight out repack of the Jetfire and Buster Optimus Prime from the previous Revenge of the Fallen two pack - while the Jetfire is more or less the same, the Buster Optimus Prime does not feature the gold chrome of the original two pack, but the silver of the original Buster Optimus Prime release (but with the faceplate head of the original Revenge of the Fallen Leader - phew!). This small fact means that this is probably the best version of the two pack out there, with the accurate and premium level deco on Buster Optimus Prime, plus the GLORY OF JETFIRE!
