TFcon Third Party Panel Correction

2005 Board member GMfan101 has stopped by to let us know of a correction at the 3rd Party Panel held this past weekend at TFcon. The picture at the right here of a third party Predacon Headstrong was believed to be coming from TFClub (Makers of the upcoming Hercules figure) but it is in fact, coming from Justitoys.

Could this be a concept sketch for a Worlds Smallest Transformers Predaking? Or maybe it's for something bigger?

It is very sad to hear the death of Mr. Francesco Quinn the voice of Mirage / Dino of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Sir, You Will Be Remembered!

Here’s a piece of news form the Indian Subcontinent. It’s very rare we get to share a valuable piece of Transformers News from our side of the globe. Let me assure you, there are plenty of TF Fans here (mostly movie) and we are breaking our country movie box-office records.

This video is from India, my neighboring country. As you all may know, Akshay Kumar received the vote from Michael Bay himself to voice Optimus Prime for Transformers: Dark of the Moon Hindi Dub.


He certainly seems to be having fun lending his voice to the most iconic Autobot to date. Bollywood Superstar Akshay Kumar spent his day from the wee hours of the morning and late into the night, dedicating himself to the role. He mentioned one other thing... he did it for free.

What better way to celebrate 25 years of Transformers than a special 25th anniversary toy hitting US retail - although you won't find this on the package, the last week saw the release of Transformers the Movie leading man Rodimus, then Hot Rod. Coincidence? Highly unlikely!

It was not all good news last week though. We received word that Francesco Quinn, who provided the voice of Dino in Dark of the Moon, had sadly passed away.

Well check out Razer's Transformers: Dark of the Moon Collector's Edition Gaming Peripherals.

Contest
Create, draw or photoshop an image showing TFW2005 as a video game from any gaming era. You can alter photos, video game screen shots, create faux box art or create an image from scratch. Do you picture TFW2005 as an old school side scroller like Super Mario, or do you picture it as a fighting game? How about an Atari 2600 era game? It's your choice. The only criteria is that your submission must be clearly related to video games and be clearly related to TFW2005. That's it.

Now remember, TFW2005 is a TRANSFORMERS website, so incorporating something Transformers related (like our very own mascot, BOOMBOX) into the image will likely earn you some extra consideration.

By the time you are reading this, you may have received an e-mail from Jagax regarding their upcoming MMO Game; Transformers Universe.

At the same time, popular Online Video Game Magazine Eurogamer interviewed the game's executive producer Kris Jones.

"It's very soon," said Jones of the beta. "It's not going to be far away. We're launching this in 2012, so it goes without saying that the beta will be soon."

"Transformers Universe will take some nods from the recent cartoon series, visually and thematically. We're in that universe" Jones confirmed, referring to Transformers: Prime.

Among the more memorable things he said… "I can't make Optimus Prime pink and put him in a tu-tu. There are certain characters you can't mess around with and they'll always be the way they are".

A new episode of Transformers Prime aired in Canada on Teletoon this past Sunday. 2005 Board member Autovolt 127 was fortunate enough to catch it and give us the run down on the new episode.

In this new episode, a skirmish with the Decepticons leads the Autobots to find an ancient artifact that ends up beaming a formula for Synthetic Energon into Bulkhead's head. But, the formula starts to occupy Bulkhead's mind to the point of his mind being lost forever! Of course, this is all Miko's fault.

No official word yet if this episode will air this coming Saturday on the Hub, nor is a title provided just yet. We will keep you posted as more information becomes available. In the meantime, feel free to click the discuss button and join in on the spoilerific thread!

Auto Assembly Update Regarding Recent World News

The European Convention Auto Assembly has issued a statement regarding the convention and recent world news. Please, read on if you are planning on attending this weekend.


Hi everyone,

In light of the recent, saddening news coming from various cities around the UK, the Auto Assembly Committee has been flooded with questions, as you might imagine. Our response has been purposefully delayed and carefully considered - we are sure you will understand that we are faced with a unique situation and we wanted to take the opportunity to consider every possible eventuality.

To anybody who doesn’t know, there have been reports of isolated pockets of civil unrest in Birmingham. West Midlands Police have confirmed they will have a very large Police presence on the streets tonight to ensure that they continue to calm the situation. Like everybody in the UK right now, we are thankful for the great job that the Officers are doing at present in such difficult circumstances.

Nevertheless, we are pleased to announce that as things stand, Auto Assembly 2011 will go ahead as planned... and friends...it is going to rock! As the song goes, “Nothing’s gonna stand in our way, not tonight!”

Now, we are keeping a constant eye on the news and on official Police press releases so, if this situation changes we promise we will make an announcement the second we find out. But rest assured, we have no intentions whatsoever of cancelling Europe’s biggest and best Transformers convention unless we are presented with absolutely no alternative. The show, as they say, must go on!

However - it is of the utmost importance that all our convention goers please bear a few things in mind to ensure that we all have a fantastic and most importantly, a safe convention this weekend.

1. Auto Assembly 2011 is still ON
2. Allow extra travelling time to and from the convention
3. Don't go out of the hotel alone. Try to stay in groups for safety.
4. Don't go out of the hotel after dark on your own
5. Keep valuables safe at all times
6. Be vigilant
7. Please look out for each other and be safe.

As we say, if for any reason the situation changes we will inform you as soon as we can, but at present Auto Assembly 2011 is ON!!!! We just need to take extra care in looking after each other this year Transformers fans.

Finally, remember that for those of you arriving in Birmingham one or two days early, you can pick up your passes on Thursday afternoon between 2:00 and 4:00 pm which will make your admission to the convention Much easier. Trish and Simon will be in the hotel bar on the second floor to do this but you must contact us in advance to let us know.

Anyway, we're looking forward to seeing you all in a few days.

The Auto Assembly Team

While there is a disclaimer present on the image stating that this may not be the final color scheme chosen, it's likely that the final product could end up looking very close.

iGear, much like other "3rd party" companies, often listen to the fan's responses on items such as these, and TFW2005.com members have already been chiming in with their opinions of what they would like to see and not see. Are you happy with what you see when you click the image or do you see something you feel could use some attention before this product is released? Be sure to discuss your thoughts with others here!

Unofficial WST Breakdown

Many collectors who are a fan of the World's Smallest Transformers line (or WST for short), find themselves with a lot of gaps in their collection. For those who want some Stunticons are at least one step closer to closing these gaps with this release here. What looks to be a figured based very closely from the WST Lambor, this figure sports a familiar white and blue deco and also comes with two rifles!

One of the main reasons the Staff here at TFW2005.com wish to continually bring you news such as this is to continually alert buyers to "unofficial" products. This product, along with others, are not manufactured by either Hasbro or TakaraTOMY, nor do they hint at any official revival of the WST series.

If you are interested in other WST figures that are also made in an "unofficial" capacity, you can always check out the WST Customs found in the Legends And World Smallest Transformers Customs Gallery!

Guess what? It's another first sighting! And this one is easily the most adorable sighting in a while, as TFW2005 member Hollywood Hoist has found and purchased the Bumblebee Garage from the Transformers: Rescue Bots subline at a Toys 'R Us in Washington.

Hollywood Hoist has also mentioned that "[the employees] initially said that it was recalled, but later said it wasn't due out until 9/20. They eventually sold it to me."

A bit of a Double Punch of Revoltech news today. Thanks to the official SciFi Revoltech webpage we have a small preview of the upcoming Movie Prime's box, which is a window-less box like the rest of the Sci-Fi Revoltech line.

Unfortunately, the toy has also had it's release date pushed back from September 1st. The toy's new release date is September 15th. The alleged reason for the delay was so that they could make more of the product to meet the higher than anticipated demand.

Another sighting, and unlike the others this one has seemingly come out of nowhere. TFW2005 member Yaujta has found something completely new at his local K-Mart: New(ish) DOTM Robot Heroes Puzzle Packs. While the Robot Heroes are simply just earlier Movie Robot Heroes molds repainted, the toys come with puzzles are single-packed instead of in pairs. In this wave are Megatron (with his Movie 1 Design), Optimus Prime, and Sideswipe.

Do you have any sightings to share with your fellow collectors? Well come on over to the Sightings Forum, and share the love.

We’ve been hearing a lot about Transformers: Universe; the upcoming browser based MMO game by Jagex. But what about Transformers: Online; the video game by NetDragon for the Asian region?

TFW2005 Board Member MechanovaKing is the right man for the job. He brought some cool stuff to share with all of us.

According to the MMO Game News Website, MMOCulture.com Transformers: Online limited close beta (or Elite Close Beta as the Chinese gaming industry would call it) has been started.

And at the China Digital Entertainment Expo & Conference a.k.a ChinaJoy2011 a Teaser Trailer made its debut.


The game is a Third Person Shooter very much like Transformers: War For Cybertron (sequel is also coming next year).

And finally if you are interested in playing Transformers: Online and not living in Asia… not to worry… It’s coming to Europe and US.

We now have a name for Episode 21 of Transformers: Prime.

Episode #21 : T.M.I.

This writer’s best guess is that it stands for "Too Much Information" which fits perfectly with what happens in the episode.

“The Decepticons hunt Bulkhead down when he gains possession of the secret formula for synthetic Energon.”

The episode ia originally intended to release on 10th September, 2011 but Canada’s Teletoon channel aired the episode more than 1 month ahead of the schedule.

3rd Party group Mastermind Creations has uploaded two color schemes for their upcoming Terminus Hexatron figure via their Facebook page. The group is asking for fans opinions for the figure's first color scheme. The first image shows Hexatron in a traditional Generation 1 deco titled "Civil War:Format". The 2nd color scheme called "WWI: Format" is similar to the G1 deco but with more muted colors and a neon glow to certain areas ala War For Cybertron. There are two more decos not yet revealed yet, so keep it here and when new images become available we'll post them.

What do you think of this figure in his proposed color schemes? Let us know in the discussion thread after the jump.
