Our very own Protoman provides us with yet another look of some upcoming BTSToys products. This time, we have a preview of the future BTSToys redeco of the BTS-05 Tremor & Frequency set. This set is named "Yin & Yang", and are apparently part of a sub-group dubbed "Workaholics", which could allude to another sub-group of construction robots due to the similar color schemes.

These figures are exclusive to our site sponsor, TFSource.com, and are available for preorder. Check out Protoman's review below!

2005 Boards member Darkprime has uploaded the next episode preview from yesterday's Transformers Prime episode to Youtube. Next week's episode is titled Triage, and can be summed up as Wheeljack & Ratchet VS Soundwave. Soundwave's one of the toughest Decepticons in the series, but can he handle one of the Autobot's elite Wreckers unit? Check out the preview below!

Hasbro Masterpiece Optimus Prime Version 2 Coming to Austral

When it was unveiled at Botcon 2012, Hasbro's release of Masterpiece Convoy Version 2 as Masterpiece Optimus Prime created a lot of excitement among fans. This awesome new rendition of Optimus Prime in the Masterpiece series would be available in the US as a Toys R Us Exclusive! And he'd have his trailer!

At the time, there was no news on release windows or pricing, but now we can relay some good news from Griffin of the Australian Transformers site Ozformers - Masterpiece Optimus Prime is coming to Australia in October 2012, with a price of AU$150. As Griffin rightly observes, this probably means a similar release timescale for the US - and factoring in the usual price inflation for Australia, it's probably coming with a pricetag of $100 for the US.

Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available to us.

Good news, UK Transformers fans! Some new Transformers Prime goodies are now available in the UK ahead of their US retail debut. The Transformers Prime Cyberverse vehicle assortment - Wheeljack & the Starhammer and Knock Out with the Energon Driller - have been released at UK catalog store Argos. 2005 Boards member Ishino made the first purchase at the Norwich St Stephens Argos.

Hopefully it will not be long before these also appear at US retail - their advertised release date at Botcon was August 2012 but the Botcon case labels typically represent a saturation date after first release. Stay tuned for more release news!

A new knock off item has popped up and the good folks over at Hobbybase Japan have provided us with some comparison pictures. This time, it's a knock off version Dark of The Moon Human Alliance Leadfoot. If you're in the market for one of these, please note the following differences:
  • Original has "Hub" label and laser label with code.
  • The plastic window of the packing on the KO version is more "yellow" than the original.
  • The sealed code at the bottom of the box has more space between the numbers on the KO version.

Back in the “pre-Dark of the Moon days” Transformers fans with good eyes spotted something above the skies of Chicago on a TV Spot. Many speculated it being the Planet Cybertron. Sure enough, at the Power Of The Primes campaign by Wal*mart a new image confirmed the theory.

Artist Ken Christiansen revealed today via his blog the entire image of Transformers 3 Cybertron used by Hasbro for promotional purposes.

"Not totally accurate with how it appeared in the film - but it was for Hasbro's toy marketing, and I think it works as a pretty cool toy version of movie Cybertron."

“This is how it appeared in stores, (I only ever saw it in Walmarts) cropped with about only 1/3 of the full image showing. Below is the full version.”

Originally posted by: NIBMRatchet @ TFW2005.com

Bad Flip Productions Blog is revealing another Transformers image. This time it’s Prima. The image is from the famous Transformers publication Transformers Vault.

This image of Prima, as the rumor has it, is part of the Aligned Continuity linking Transformers: Prime, Exodus series, War For Cybertron game series and other related Transformers media.

According to Mr. Christiansen, he had drawn 11 of the 13 Primes on behalf of Hasbro.

“This was a fun job! I got to do final concept images for 11 of the 13 Primes, for Hasbro, Inc., creating updated source images...

…Again, working with Eric Siebenaler, I began a bunch of pencil sketches, but one clearly stood out, and it's basically a rough pencil version of what's above. I themed him in a loose Samurai style, and reversed engineered details from Optimus Prime, to make that visual connection, as a descendant in the Prime Line. He was nicknamed the Warrior of Light, so we went with a really ornate style, with the piped lighting over a quasi-mother of pearl armor. The similar cues from Optimus only number a few, but are pretty overt - the facemask, helmet spikes, split chest 'windows', and I managed to put a G1 cue in there, the two bands over a triangle on the forearm. The sword was a joint design effort, Eric had sketched out the two-bladed idea, with the Matrix in the hilt, so I basically redesigned it to fit the look of the character/armor.”

Mr. Christiansen didn’t forget to comment regarding the Hasbro Watermark…

“*Sorry about the watermarks folks, it's the rules of the game for me to get this stuff on my site.”

You can visit his blog to checkout some amazing creativity from Ken Christiansen.

Transformers Prime Cyberverse vehicle sets are hitting stores up and down the UK - and by a stroke of luck I've been able to score both of them. Here for you now is the Energon Driller with Knock Out - a great little set which is a lot of fun to play about with, mostly because of the big drill which spins around as you push it along the floor. The emphasis with this set is most definitely on simplicity and fun, not that this is a bad thing though, it's a very playable set reminiscent of the old Action Master Transformers and MASK vehicles of my childhood.

I've also taken a whole bunch of pics of the set including an attempt at demonstrating the light-up "Energy glow" feature on the set. Check them out by opening the link below:

Also shown in these solicitations is the cover of the 1st More Than Meets The Eye Anual. The cover of this book was shown as a teaser at the end of the IDW panel at Botcon.

Here's the solicitations, beware spoilers!

More Than Meets The Eye #8
(W) James Roberts (A) Alex Milne (CA) Alex Milne, Nick Roche
DINOBOT MONTH! Three years ago, Grimlock disappeared from his prison cell on Garrus 9. Where did he go? What happened to him? One thing's for certain: the leader of the Dinobots is back-and he's itching to settle some scores!

Robots In Disguise #8
(W) John Barber (A) Andrew Griffith (CA) Casey Coller, Andrew Griffith
DINOBOT MONTH! Guess who's back on Cybertron? SLAG, SLUDGE, SNARL, and SWOOP-and they're as mad as ever! IRONHIDE leads them deep into the Cybertronian wilderness searching for lost AUTOBOTS... but what they find might be the greatest danger of all!

More Than Meets The Eye Annual #1
(W) James Roberts (A) Jimbo Salgado, Guido Guidi (CA) Tim Seeley, Alex Milne
THE ORIGIN OF THE KNIGHTS OF CYBERTRON! Rodimus and the crew of the Lost Light finally reach Crystal City, home to the mysterious Circle of Light. But what they find waiting for them is going to change everything-and not necessarily for the better!

Regeneration One #82
(W) Simon Furman (A) Andrew Wildman (CA) Andrew Wildman, Guido Guidi

Chinese BBS site 78dm.net has shared a small gallery of the combined mode of the Maketoys Giant. The poseability of the combined mode is demonstrated here along with a few size comparisons with the Fansproject Colossus (Bruticus), giving a decent indication of how tall this guy stands.

Tokyo Toy Show 2012 Exclusive Transformers Prime Clear Optim

Facebook group Planet Iacon reports that this year's Tokyo Toy Show exclusive is going to be a translucent version of Transformers Prime Optimus Prime. Carrying on the proud Takara-Tomy tradition of offering clear versions of Optimus Prime toys as exclusives, this one uses the First Edition version of the mold and looks very sharp. There's no word on pricing yet, but expect it to command a premium price even from the outset.

But that's not all! Hold on to your hats because Henkei Convoy Black Version is finally getting a release! Planet Iacon is the source once again, again no details on the pricing, other than that after fans were left at the altar back when this one was originally planned, it is finally getting released.

Well this is an unexpected surprise for a Monday night. Via the Facebook, the official Transformers community page has revealed Insecticon Hardshell from the upcoming Transformers: Fall of Cybertron game. Though we can only surmise why he is named this way, there is no mistaking the vented mask and back-mounted armature: he is clearly this universe's Bombshell.

2005 Board member Gaokaiser has shared with us some new catalog scans from courtesy of Japanese BBS. In the scans we have our first looks at AM-12 Breakdown in color with his Micron (a rhino that turns into one of his hammers!) AM-14 Vehicon with Micron, AM-07 Voyager Starscream with Micron and AM-13 Knockout with micron. Also among these pictures is a prototype of MP-12 Sideswipe with a size comparison to MP-10.

Last but certainly not least is a silhouette teaser of MP-13! Popular vote in the thread has been going to Soundwave. But others have speculated Sunstreaker and Shockwave.

What do you think? Check out the images after the break and join in on the speculation!
