Deadline, which seems to be the go-to source regarding recent announcements regarding the Transformers Cinematic Universe of sequels, prequels and spin-offs, has just announced two more writers that have been added to the writer's room headed by Akiva Goldsman. The new additions are Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down) and Geneva Robertson-Dworet. These new writers join the previously announced team of Art Marcum, Matt Holloway, Zak Penn, Jeff Pinkner, Robert Kirkman, Christina Hodson, Lindsey Beer, Andrew Barrer, and Gabriel Ferrari.

Akiva Goldsman also explains some of the reasoning behind this writer's room in the article, so check out the link above to read what he has to say. In one paragraph he even mentions Beast Wars as something that could be explored:

“If one of the writers discovers an affinity for Beast Wars, they can drive forward on treatments that will have been fleshed out by the whole room,” Goldsman said.

Only time will tell if a spin-off featuring the Maximals and Predacons of Beast Wars will become a reality, but the possibility is mentioned by Mr. Goldsman himself! It appears that they are considering many options for future films.

Keep following TFW2005 for all of the latest Transformers news, and let us know what you think of this news on the boards!

The Transformers Hong Kong Facebook community page has shared a new promotional video for the Combiner Wars toy line. This action packed video shows off the Combiner Wars toys in motion through some awesome computer animation sequences. If this doesn't get you hyped about this line, I don't know what will.

This is definitively a great way to get more people excited for the toyline, and we hope this will be shown on TV and other popular venues to reach a wider audience. Before that happens though, check out the clip and tell us what you think on the boards!

One of our favorite Twitter accounts, belonging to TakaraTomy designer Hisashi Yuki, continues to provide us with excellent updates. This time around we have an in-package look at the Transformers Adventure Powerglide!

There does appear to be some slight differences from the Hasbro release, which is to be expected. The limbs appear to be more of a white color, the overall red may be a bit darker, and this Takara release also has the Autobot circular insignia on the robot chest.

Every few years, the Galactic Games are held as a friendly competition between friends and allies of the Autobots, but the Quintessons have sent a spy. Will the Autobots discover who is behind the sabotage? Find out in TRANSFORMERS Legends, "The Galactic Games"

Earlier this week TFW2005 sister site HISSTANK reviewed G. I. Joe: Strike Mobile Game by Backflip Studios. Now, the studio has hinted that they are in development of mobile games based on other famous Hasbro properties including Transformers.

Back in 2013 Hasbro acquired this famous Mobile Game Development Company and Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner announced to the Hasbro Investors that the game studio is now in development of several games based on Hasbro IPs, during past financial calls. Pretty soon games based on Nerf and G. I. Joe franchises arrived to mobile devices.

Following the Soft Launch of G. I. Joe: Strike on the Android Platform last month and the expansion of their famous game; DragonVale, Backflip Studios spoke to the media last week and stated:

"We plan on supporting DragonVale for a long time. Thanks to our arrangement with Hasbro, we plan on working with smaller but proven studios to bring their IP to life without stretching our core resources that focus on the DragonVale brand. Expect to see many of Hasbro's favorite brands in mobile very soon!"

February last year, the company first hinted that they are in development of several games for Hasbro. Back then, Transformers, G. I. Joe and Monopoly were announced as planned games. One of the three games is already out with the other two possibly down the pipeline.

"Backflip will also marry the brands at Hasbro with the short-duration games and use them as user acquisition tools. Backflip emphasizes its experience in mobile, game design, monetization, and marketing. About half of the company’s*internal games will be on original ideas while the rest*will be on Hasbro brands. (These include big names such as Monopoly, Transformers, and G.I. Joe.)"

Hasbro's Transformers Mobile Games have seen an increase in popularity among fans, general public and critics recently and we are now waiting for this new mobile game by Backflip Studios. The game company has delivered some amazing games in the past with loyal following. We wish them the best.

What do you think the game might be? Will it be an Action game? Puzzle game? Or something else? Let us know your thoughts at the Video Game Discussions forum at TFW2005. You can also learn more about Backflip Studios from Ad Colony.

Good news, Robots in Disguise fans! The latest assortment of Legion class toys from Robots in Disguise has begun to appear at US retail.

Robots in Disguise Legion Wave 3 adds Fixit and Underbite into the mix. Fans will definitely want to consider giving Fixit a look, even if you are only collecting the Warrior class offerings, since with his diminutive stature he should be a good fit with the larger toys.

Tip of the hat goes to TFW2005 member maxlovesamber, who spotted this duo at a Target in Columbia MD!

It's time for another Transformers toy sighting! This time we can report that the Rescue Bots Epic scale versions of Blurr and Salvage have been found at US retail. These 12 inch non-transforming versions of the Rescue Bots' new recruits can fit a 2-inch Playskool Heroes PVC in their chest compartments, such as the human characters from Rescue Bots. These were found at a Walmart retail store in Connecticut by TFW2005 member Almightymaximus.

Well we have a new entry into the ever expanding world of 3rd-Party masterpiece-styled figures. A few days ago, brand new third-party company Transform and Rollout released some renders of their first project TR-01 Masterpiece-styled Jazz on their Facebook page and have now followed up with the first images of their prototype in bot mode.

This figure appears to scale with the current run of Masterpiece figures and features everything you would expect from Jazz, including his blaster, grappling hook and speakers.

There isn't a release date or price point announced for this figure, but feel free to jump over to the boards to let us know what you think of it.

Snakas has shared some images of the upcoming Combiner Wars Legends class Wave 4. Combiner Wars Legends Wave 4 is made up of Rodimus, a Blackjack redeco, and Skywarp, a redeco of the Generations Legends Skywarp / Thundercracker. It's worth noting that these images show Rodimus with the spoiler on his back, but we're informed this is not possible to achieve normally, and is probably affixed with blu-tak.

If you look in the packaging images of Rodimus, you can also see some artwork showing the completed Optimus Maximus!
