Thanks to TFW2005's very own Seth Buzzard, we now have an image of an upcoming TFCToys product into the Hercules line, this time being an expansion set for the now completely released Hercules. Called the Rage of Herclues set, this set comes with a new headsculpt (with an optional "Rage Face"), forearms, shoulder extensions, and the gun we first reported a few days ago. As well as these new parts, the set also contains the 7th Bio Card for Hercules itself, and a new poster. This set will be released sometime in May. There is no news regarding price at this time.

UPDATE: We now have two clearer images of the banner.

As well as this banner that was on show at the AOD Convention in San Francisco, Seth Buzzard also reports on Twitter that the planned TFCToys exclusive was not available at the show, as it was held up in Customs.

Our fellow fans over at The Allspark have shared an English translation of the E-Hobby exclusive Black Rodimus Convoy comic, translated by the one and only Hydra! This short comic sets up how Black Rodimus Convoy is a clone born of Rodimus' own self-doubts, a dark reflection of his character. The comic also includes an English translation of the character's bio.

Not enough Black Rodimus Convoy for you? There's a full bio over at E-Hobby Magazine, again brought to you in English by Hydra! The full bio sheds more light on the circumstances leading up to the comic, revealing that it was the ghost of Starscream who led Rodimus to the cloning chamber! Even dead, that Decepticon causes nothing but trouble!

CM's Corp have updated their homepage with some official photography of their upcoming Gutto Kuru Minerva Nightbeat Edition. The figure is a recolor based on the Headmaster partner to Nightbeat, whose mold was also used to make Minerva originally. In the vein of the US-themed set, there is also an additional Hi-Q head included for use with the upcoming CM's Ginrai to give him his US look - it's a really cool little add on, and very appropriate given we're about to return to the Marvel Generation 1 comic universe this July, where Hi-Q was a major character! Check out all the images by clicking on the link above.

eagle800524 has shared with us images of his latest third-party project - a 13cm tall resin kit version of Decepticon Scourge. Modelled after his appearance in Transformers the Animated Movie and Generation 1 Season 3, this garage kit version of Scourge combines the look of the original with the poseability of a modern design.

It also comes with a pack of molded resin spaceships, including Galvatron's command ship from the Animated Movie and a pair of the Sweeps.

The whole thing is a limited run of 50 pieces worldwide, so it's a true garage kit item with all the charm that comes with it.

Read on and check out all of the images.

TFC Toys has updated their Facebook with new images of their Rage of Hercules set. The set adds more parts to their Hercules combiner set including a new head with optional "rage" face, shoulder and forearm add-ons for a closer to Generation 1 look on the arms, plus a new different gun. Revealed in these images is that most of these combiner parts look like they can also double up as other parts, such as cabs or other vehicle bits - like Hercules itself, it seems his add-on will be a bit more than merely some spare parts used when combining.

iGear have added three new images to their Facebook gallery of their upcoming W-01 Upgrade kit for Classics Kup and Perceptor. The kit gives these two toys additional guns to complement their existing load-out - alternatively you can just use the kit to arm up any of your other toys who are in need of a blaster or two. These final product images mean the set is nearly ready for release and on Facebook our sponsors TFSource have confirmed it will be in stock with them soon.

Gamesradar.com has updated with a very cool article titled "15 Things You Need To Know About Fall Of Cybertron". One of the coolest things revealed in this article is that Gregg Berger will be voicing Grimlock. Now, every thing on that list has detailed summary about it, but we'll break it down to a simple list for you.

• The plot begins immediately after War for Cybertron
• It has one campaign with different characters
• At least one Transformer has more than two forms
• Every Transformer has a unique ability
• Like Jazz's a grappling hook...
• Or Optimus Prime's control of the massive Metroplex...
• Or the Combaticons' ability to turn into Bruticus...
• Grimlock is in the game
• ...and he can transform into a fire-breathing robotic T-Rex
• You can buy and upgrade gear
• Cybertron is no longer flat
• Nolan North voices an archeologist
• There's more ammo this time
• There's no campaign co-op
• Character creation is insane

The great thing about video games is they sometimes have bonus rounds - so by way of a Fall of Cybertron video game bonus round, here's a new look at the toys of the Combaticons! These new images show the decos of the five Combaticons - Onslaught, Decepticon Brawl, Vortex, Swindle and Blast Off - as they were exhibited at Toy Fair 2012. The most notable thing about them is the purple deco on Blast Off, but there are some other tweaks in these pictures too.

Last but by no means least is Kotaku's coverage of Transformers Fall of Cybertron. Kotaku has a video with text narration - no voice over - so you can hear the in game SFX and some very cool voice over interaction between characters - including a conversation between Optimus Prime and Perceptor. You can also hear Jazz and Bruticus' voices, and they are in a word, perfect!

Click here to check out the video on Kotaku, and its accompanying article, which again has some very nice information.
