Following up from our story earlier today regarding a possible image of Transformers Go! G26 Optimus EX, we now have our first look at the new figure from a user on Tinypic.. Surprisingly, this new figure features an alternate mode not yet utilized by an Optimus toy to date - a bullet train! A The third mode of this figure is also revealed to be a dragon. On top of those three modes this Optimus will also be able to combine with the G01 Kenzan and G05 Gekisomaru.

2005 Boards Member MineSky is back with some awesome photos he took during the Hong Kong Principal Photography of Transformers: Age Of Extinction.

These new photos feature not just Bumblebee, Hound and the Veyron… but also the Freightliner. Also, we now have an idea of what role the blue Kawasaki plays in the movie. The bike and its passengers (Stunt-doubles of Stanley Tucci and Li Bingbing) are being chased by the two Audi S6s we saw early.

Also, GabrielPrime is bringing us some more photos where we see actors Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor, Stanley Tucci and Sophia Myles running among the crowd carrying a bag of unknown content.

The white Lamborghini Gallardo and the Ferrari F430 Spyder (thank you NotRamjet97 for identifying) are also there.

You can check out MineSky’s photos with this news post and head on over to the thread for more. Check out the previous thread for more images by Infinity.

Thank you everyone for the awesome collection of photos. Keep 'em coming... our members would love to see more.

For our next gallery update, we would like to draw your attention to some extensive galleries of the Mech ideas Demoltion Crue - Apex and Geminus, unofficial and unlicensed versions of Generation 1 Topspin and Twin Twist.

Mech ideas are a relative newcomer on the third party scene, but their first full figure releases set the bar plenty high. Apex and Geminus share a basic body type, varying up the molding on the legs, shoulders, head and backpack to produce their unique robot and alternate modes. The designs are true to the original Jumpstarters, even if the alternate modes feel a little boxy. They are fantastic toys through and through though, with astonishing levels of poseability, excellent detail, and a good selection of accessories. There's lots of nice little touches in the designs, such as the double-jointed elbows, which make these toys for me. Best of all, unlike a lot of third party releases, they are not overly expensive - you feel like you are getting value for money with the Demolition Crue.

Our galleries for this pair are now online, over 150 pictures for each toy - check them out by opening the links below:

Unique Toys have updated their Facebook page with a CGI image of their forthcoming unofficial Sharkticon, named Sharky. Based on the Generation 1 toy Gnaw, Sharky takes the same basic approach as the War Lord series of releases and gives the original Generation 1 toy more poseability. This release also updates the look to make the character look more like the Sharkticon shown on-screen in Transformers the Movie, most notably including more black in the deco. Check out the image at left.

The Globe and Mail has posted a brief article about the financial fortunes of Hasbro. The headline is that strong overseas performances, an 11% rise for Hasbro International, have made up for slow performances at home; with strong growth expected in 2014 with the Transformers Age of Extinction toyline and a tie-in toyline for The Amazing Spider-Man 2; and this is expected to continue in 2015 with toylines for Star Wars Episode VII and Marvel's Avengers 2. Analysts are calling it a visible catalyst for sustained revenue growth.

Transformers Regeneration One #95
AND ONE SHALL RISE! Yep, a there's a new Prime on the block (and the old one isn't gone yet), and just in the nick of time too, as Cybertron shudders and reels under the dual assault of BLUDGEON and his WarWorld and a spitting mad GALVATRON. But is the advent of RODIMUS PRIME a boon for Cybertron or one more dark domino falling in the headlong rush to universal armageddon?

We have more news from Hong Kong filming of Transformers: Age Of Extinction. However, this news post contains rumored Spoilers. If you are sensitive to such content… you are warned. However, we are still going to keep the spoiler materials off the front page. To read the content of the title of this news post, take a look after the jump.

In other news, our members suggest there a clear nod to G1 Kremzeek on the Kawasaki bike which Li Bingbing’s Stunt Double riding. Whether it’s done intentionally or coincidentally, is yet to be determined.

And our members continue to bring awesome images and videos from the Hong Kong Shooting. Check out the latest Hong Kong Filming thread for the content. We thank our members for their contribution: Thanks everyone.

Following up on some early leaked prototype pictures of a new unofficial Fall of Cybertron Onslaught figure, we now have further clarification on the figure and the group making it. From new 3rd party group, Microblaze Creations, we have the MB002 FOC Bruticus Upgrade kit. This upgrade, which is arguably one of the nicest looking to come out in awhile, will contain an unofficial Voyager Onslaught figure and a bunch of add-on pieces for the rest of the Fall of Cybertron Deluxe Combaticons. The end result? Well, you'll have to click on the title bar to get a look at the prototype pictures of how this upgrade kit improves on the Hasbro release. At least, as far as game accuracy.

Check out the images by clicking on the title bar.

Big Bad Toy Store has listed a preorder listing for a new Transformers Rescue Bots assortment. The assortment is named "Transformers Rescue Bots Rescan" suggesting the line may be undergoing a fresh revision for 2014, just like how the 2013 product line was by and large marketed under the "Energize" banner.

The assortment is listed as being due in December 2013 and features three toys - Rescan Optimus Prime, Rescan Bumblebee, and Heatwave. There are no pictures of any of them just yet, but one might guess that they are new redecos of the existing toys being brought out to coincide with Transformers Rescue Bots' second season on The Hub next year.
