I'd like to introduce a new "theme" that will occasionally be used in our Featured Ebay Auctions. I'd like to introduce Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, or something that loosely rhymes with "blue". In these we'll feature an old product auction, a new(ish) product, a licensed product and something different for the "blue or rhymes with blue" auction. I'll usually go with this about 2 times a month.

Something Old
G1 Starscream Piggy Bank

Something New
Reveal The Shield G2 Optimus, Wreck-Gar, Perceptor and Bumblebee

Something Borrowed
G1 Skywarp Sealed Birthday Candle

Something Blue
Vintage G1 Sleeping Bag

You can see pics of each by clicking the headline of the story.

We have with us another possible Human Alliance figure from Transformers: Dark of the Moon toyline thanks to 4chan /toy/.

It is unsure what size class this figure belongs to. Many TFW2005 members speculate that this might belong to the said "Human Alliance Basics" line.

Previously, we saw the G. I. Joe A.W.E. Striker look-alike toy and now this. Both toys came unannounced, without prior notice of such toy existing.

It’s time to see them in robot mode. It’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class Crankcase/Dread and Starscream (Yeah, you’ve been waiting for this). That’s right… Not prototypes, not vehicle modes… Robot Modes. But, Starscream looks as though… mistransformed.

These images were found on (enter Optimus Prime voice here) eBay, Australia. You can check out Starscream auction here and Dread auction here.

Take a look and enjoy!

If you could ask the creative team at The Hub and Hasbro Studios any one thing about Transformers Prime, what would it be? The lack of a nose on Optimus' face? The whereabouts of Jackson Darby's father?

Well, now is your chance. Hasbro have given us a chance to submit any one question about Transformers Prime to the creative teams behind the show for them to answer. One question, one chance to learn something awesome about the backstory of this new series - or if you prefer, a chance to get technical and ask about the process of creating this great new series.

We've put together a few ideas of our own, based on the most popular topics of discussion in our Transformers Prime forum, which you can check out, add to or suggest your own questions for by clicking on the discuss link below.

Last week we saw a tentative list of trailer dates for all the big summer movies, including Transformers Dark of the Moon. The list, however, did not fully cover the list of trailers that would be attached to Superbowl XLV on February 6.

Hollywood Reporter has got ahold of the tentative list of summer blockbuster trailers set to premiere during the Superbowl or its pregame programming. The next Transformers 3 Trailer is on the list, due to be shown during Superbowl itself.

Most of you probably took this as a given, but for those who were skeptical, here it is. Just a little over two weeks until we get to see the next trailer for Dark of the Moon.

A gallery has been posted over on ACToys.net of Reveal the Shield Demolition Rumble. These in-hand images show off the little Decepticon in all his glory, as well as his piledrivers. Click the link above to check out all the images.

But that's not all. It seems whenever we see a new image of Rumble, a new toy is sure to follow - and this time is no exception. Along with the Demolition Rumble gallery, we have an in package image of two upcoming Scouts - Downshift, who we have seen before, and an-all new recolor named Bodyblock. Bodyblock is a green and white recolor of Breacher, colored to match with the upcoming Voyager Deep Dive.

Reports are coming in from California collectors that the second wave of Reveal the Shield deluxes are being spotted at Target stores. The wave consists of Perceptor, Wreck-Gar, "G2 Laser Rod" Optimus Prime and a redeco of the Classics Bumblebee mold. Our own thedrknss48 found the wave at Fullerton Target, and a member of the Allspark forums reported the same success at Target in Culver City (Jefferson)! Good luck!

TFW2005 member Bern has shared with us some new in-hand images of iGear's Masterpiece Optimus Prime Animated Head set. Showing the Convoy and Ultra Magnus color schemed heads, he gives us comparisons to the stock Hasbro and Takara heads. Bern also wrote:

So I got these in today, they look really great and have an exceptional level of finish and detail. Hard to believe these aren't Takara. Even the mouth piece works. Fit is perfect on the figure, not loose or anything. Only criticism I have is that the blue plastic for the H-01 is slightly darker, and the eyes aren't chrome blue or red like the Takara versions. Otherwise its a very nice metallic paint in there. AND it will not fit when in Alt mode. but who cares.

If you missed out the first time on CrazyDevy's CDMW-14 The King's Power Parts Sword upgrade for your G1 Predaking do not fret. The sword will be re-released now in a gold hue still keeping the 227mm length and the same polylac virgin ABS plastic construction. What intrigues in CrazyDevy's teaser image is the amount of swivel on Headstrong and Tantrum. Is their a new thigh or leg upgrade on the way? Click above to view the image in full size.

Their may finally be an alternative to FansProject's first third party foray. Some images have popped up on chinese board Actoys depicting an upgrade kit for Classics Cliffjumper. Known as the Devil Horns Custom Kit, just like FansProject's kit before, it swaps the figure's head for one more reminiscent of his G1 counterpart. Giving him more firepower comes courtesy of a new handheld beam blaster and his glass gun. Click above to view all images.
