Hisashi Yuki of the Takara-Tomy Transformers team continues to provide us with MP-24 Star Saber updates as the release date for this Generation 1 character from Transformers Victory inches closer and closer! This time around we have new images of Star Saber in the base mode! Hisashi Yuki provided images of both the MP in this base mode as well as the G1 toy for comparisons, which as you'll see in the photos attached the Masterpiece does pull off the base mode to a degree.

Play With This Too just sent over a press release announcing they have contracted famed toy designer Christopher Dahlberg to design their own digital sculpts for their action figure toy line.
Dahlberg is very well known in the toy industry after nearly two decades as a sculptor/designer, co-founder and former co-owner of Four Horsemen, 14 years experience for Mattel in action figures development, as well as the lead sculptor for McFarlane Toys. You can see more of Dahlberg's past/current work on his website and get a feel for what his style may mean for Play With It Too's action figure line. Continue on after the jump for the full press release and new digital render of their Tech Drone figures! |

Rumors aplenty these days! This one should make all you combiner fans out there very happy. Following on from the recent Leader Class Ultra Magnus rumor, we now have a rumor originating from our own forums concerning a possible Combiner Wars Titan Class Devastator! This has been brought to us by two separate sources, and can be checked out in TFW's ongoing Combiner Wars speculation thread in the Toy Discussion forum.
Take this all with a grain of salt for now, but it it turns out to be legitimate, there is a chance it could be revealed around the time of one of next year's conventions. And of course, a big part of this is speculating as to the specifics of the release . Read on for yourselves for the full details and discuss what you think after the jump! |

Transformers: Legends Facebook Fan Page is informing us that DeNA has initiated the Beta Testing phase for the English Version of Transformers: Rising Mobile Game.
After the sudden announcement of the cancellation of G. I. Joe: Battlegrounds, Transformers fans were left wondering if the same fate would fall on Transformers: Legends as well. Announcement of a new game titled Transformers: Battle League by the same company didn't help the matter either. A while back, Transformers: Rising was announced as well. However, Mobage stated that there is no need to panic; for Transformers: Rising is only targeted to the Asian audience. But this new development seems to be proving otherwise. Currently, we have to look into another aspect as well… Combiner Wars. It was stated that Transformers: Legends game will play a certain role when Hasbro carries on with this new initiative in 2015. If you have been following Transformers: Rising game, there is already an event called Combiner Wars and Combiner Cards are available on Transformers: Rising whereas Transformers: Legends does not. We can speculate that this new game may be a way to incorporate Hasbro’s plans as a game. If you want to be a beta tester for the game, Transformers: Legends Facebook Fan Page is giving a direct link to download the Android version of Transformers: Rising. No announcement for the iOS version yet. |

The first reported retail sighting of the Platinum Edition Optimus Prime with Sideswipe two-pack has been spotted! Found at a Toys R US in New York, this set features the First Edition Optimus Prime mold from the Age of Extinction toy line, a redeco of the MP-10 trailer, and a redeco of the Revenge of the Fallen Sideswipe mold for $196.99. We only have one reported sighting so far, so we are not sure if that price is standard MSRP.
If you're looking for this set, utilize your area's sightings thread to help out fellow collectors! |

A bit of interesting speculation is surfacing that revolves around supposed talks between Hasbro and DreamWorks Animation, a division of DreamWorks Studios. According to one article that has surfaced on Deadline, Deadline reports that "DreamWorks Animation is deeply engaged in two potentially game changing negotiations that could transform the company — including one with Hasbro to forge a family entertainment powerhouse to be called DreamWorks-Hasbro." The report claims that this deal is at least 60 days off, if it even happens, while both companies are not commenting on the matter and dismissing as rumor and speculation. You can read the full article here for more details.
You may recall that DreamWorks was involved in the production and distribution of the live action films Transformers (2007) and Revenge of the Fallen, while being somewhat involved in a lesser role with Dark of the Moon. It's not totally inconceivable that these two companies could potentially be in business discussions. The biggest question circling around this rumor for now: what does this mean exactly? Is this Hasbro shifting away from physical toys and moving towards more entertainment routes? Will there now be more opportunities for Transformers toys? Are Transformers animation films now more plausible? Time will tell, as for now this should be treated as a rumor. Speculate away TFW! |

Alfes2010 has updated his blog with in-hand images of Takara-Tomy's Age of Extinction Armor Knight Optimus Prime. This version of the Age of Extinction Leader class Optimus Prime is to the original release what the Revenge of the Fallen Buster Optimus Prime was to the original Revenge of the Fallen Leader Optimus Prime - a release which takes everything good about the previous figure and improves on all aspects, in this case adding new tooling on the arms, head and chest, redone weapons, a head which can switch from faceplated to mouthed forms, and to top it all off, a premium grade paintjob. Check out these in hand images to see for yourself.

Play With This Too have unveiled a new piece of concept artwork showing off Bitemark, one of the designs which they intend to offer as a crowdfunding exclusive. It's a redeco of their existing Desolataur, using the head of Bloodbath.
Crowd funding exclusive decos of the headshots by designer Steve Redinger have also been shown, one of whom matches up to Bitemark to give you something looking a bit like Diablo - not Transformers, but pretty cool! Check out the Play With This Too facebook page for more info. |

Hasbro has ended talks with DreamWorks Animation regarding their potential merger. It is said that a sudden drop of Market Share after the rumor has scared the Transformers Toy Maker to say "No" to the proposed merger. Disney; who roughly own 30% of Hasbro's business, also expressed a negative reaction to the deal.
"The breakup of the negotiations followed a sharp slide in Hasbro‘s shares after reports of the talks emerged late Wednesday. The toy maker’s shares had fallen nearly 5 percent since then, closing on Friday at $54.02. The fall in Hasbro’s share price was notable because the company had weighed paying both stock and cash, people briefed on the matter have said. Also playing a role was a negative private reaction by the Walt Disney Company, which comprises roughly 30 percent of Hasbro’s business through licenses for “Star Wars,” Marvel characters, “Frozen” and the Disney Princesses toy line. Disney was predictably upset that Hasbro would discuss a merger with DreamWorks Animation — its primary cartoon competitor — only weeks after the toy maker was given a lucrative Princesses contract, having taken it away from Mattel, one of these people said. As a toy partner, Hasbro receives early access to private information about films in Disney’s pipeline." |

DeNA has initiated the Beta Testing phase for the English Version of Transformers: Rising Mobile Game. It's a game very similar to the Transformers: Legends game which was out since late 2012. This game is rumored to be the successor of TFL.
A discussion on the game is happening at our TF video game boards as well. If you are a Beta Tester, leave your thoughts at the thread associated with this post. TFW2005 had a shot at the Beta Version of TFR and decided to let our readers in on the details of the game. Checkout our review, after the jump. |

TFW2005 member Yaujta reports that he recently spotted an Age of Extinction Value Pack in a Walmart in Hagerstown, Maryland. This value pack pairs up the Mega One Step version of Bumblebee with a tiny Legion class Stinger - the Stinger is a repack of the existing Walmart exclusive version of the character who was a redeco of the Prime Cyberverse Knock Out toy.
This set is also a Walmart exclusive - so check those Walmarts if this set interests you! |
