3rd Party group, Mastermind Creations has been nice enough to send us over a new image of their incoming unofficial Predacon figure, R-03 Bovis aka Tantrum! We have here our first in package image of this new figure. Mastermind Creations also states: we will start to ship the goods to resellers on Sep 15, and due to short of supply for the initial drop, we can only ship 50% of every resellers’ order, so they will fulfill the preorders on the basis of first come first serve. Also sent over to us, is an image of R-03s Bio Card with art from 2005 Board member Unicron-WMD!

The wait is just about over for these guys! Click on the title bar to discuss in our MMC Feral Rex Mega Thread!

What hidden stories do the DEATHBRINGER, BOLTAX, BUSTER WITWICKY, and GALVATRON have to tell, and what-if any-solutions are there? Or is it already too late?

It's just less than 2 weeks for Transformers: Age Of Extinction principle photography to end. Actor Mark Wahlberg mentioned to MTV that they are in the "Home Stretch" as Day 70 of 96 closes.

"My kids just did a cameo, just scared people in the street looking up, but they did a great job. I was so nervous because Michael doesn't have time for bad performances," he said. "You have to understand; you're shooting a $300 million movie. You've got a lot going on. He's got five, six takes. If you ain't got it, you're done. I didn't want to see my kids get clipped. They were excited about, but they started to get mad at me because I'm trying to over-direct them. It went great."

The actor also… kind of… confirmed The Dinobots. He wasn't quite ready to talk openly about the secret though.
"You can't say that, dude. Did you leak it? Did you leak it? You leaked it," he said. "Somebody leaked it, dude. Somebody was on the set leaked it, and it is not OK. It's not cool."

You can check out the video of the interview at MTV.
