TFW2005.COM's very own E-magazine, TFWe, has released their monthly third issue. This month, TFWe is all about Dark of the Moon!

Click here to check out TFWe Issue 03!

This month, with Editor-in-Chief Kickback tied up in that thing we like to call the real-life, Sol Fury has taken the reigns and steered the crew in the right direction - towards Dark of the Moon!

Be sure to check out our "TFWe Reviews Dark of the Moon" special feature, as it was probably the most chaotic thing I have partaken in over the last few years (a live chat room). Check out what TFWe's staff had to say about the movie, and for a laugh, check out our outtakes at the end of the issue.

Shin Densetsu writes the longest thing I've ever read in his "Reign of Starscream" article, looking at Starscream from the original movie to Dark of the Moon, toy-wise. A lot of pictures. A lot information. A fun, good read.

Secretcode tells us why Laserbeak is the greatest thing from Dark of the Moon, and Sol Fury puts his neck on the line by writing an editorial explaining why he thinks the live action movies are the best thing to ever happen to Transformers.

What are you waiting for? Click here and read Issue 03 of TFWe!

NOTE: The PDF of this issue will be released very, very soon. Timing issues caused us not to be able to launch them simoltaneously ... so if you're an avid PDF reader, cheat and check this one out before you can take it with you!

At TFCon this weekend, Simon Furman was selling copies of the script to The War Within The Age of Wrath issue 5, and a summary of issue 6 for which the script was never written. We've written a brief summary of both issues for your enjoyment, if you - like us - want to know how this great series would have concluded. Check out the summaries below:


The War Within Volume 3 The Age of Wrath Issue 5

The War Within Volume 3 The Age of Wrath Issue 6



Get up to speed with what went before by viewing our summaries of the previous four issues here:


Transformers The War Within Volume 3 The Age of Wrath


Also be sure to check out the rest of our Transfomers Comics Resources section for more information on Transformers comics past and present.


On behalf of the entire Transfomers fandom, I would like to thank Simon Furman for sharing the scripts of these unreleased Transfomers comics with us. The folding of Dreamwave was a sad event, as was all the drama that accompanied it. To finally learn how these stories ended is a true gift to us all. So if you should meet Simon Furman at a convention down the road, be sure to give him some massive props for all he has done for Transformers, and our fandom.

Slagacon has updated their website to announce a Non-Attendee package for their upcoming convention, and for their upcoming Vector Zeta Add-on kit for Classics Optimus Prime.

There has been a lot of interest in our exclusive for Slagacon 2011, the Vector Zeta armor set, and we thank everyone who’s purchased one so far. One of the most common requests we’ve seen, both here and on TF fan boards across the ‘net, is the desire for a non-attendee package. After much deliberation, we’ve decided to open up Vector Zeta to the general public.

Hit the jump for the rest of the info.

TFW Board Member Ricochet strikes again, this time with photos of the toys for the Japanese McDonalds Transformers campaign. The Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are made of soft vinyl material and move at the shoulders and hips and are based off the Movieverse designs, whereas the food phone strap toys are based on the Transformers Prime designs.

Following on from the third party product reveals at TFCon 2011 yesterday, several of the third party groups have posted up clearer images and information on their future products.

G1Uppers have shared a clearer view of the lineart for the head for their Animated Menasor custom. It's going to be limited to 1'500 sets, BBTS and Toyarena are the US distributors.

Headrobots have shared an update regarding Blood (currently in production and will ship out shortly) as well as the first info on Drone. Also good news about Iguana - apparently it's not cancelled as reported, there was just no new info to share on it.

Lastly, Mastermind Collectibles has released some new images of their Hexatron Custom Sixshot.

According to Autobase Aichi, the DVD that is included with a purchase of a Happy Meal this week at Japanese McDonald's, there is a mention of new "McDonald's Trailer Optimus Prime" that can store the "Food Straps". The product image in the DVD is in silhouette and more details are to be announced in TakaraTomy website soon. Strangely enough, the Optimus Prime toy appears to be the Dark Of The Moon Voyager mold with a McDonalds "M" logo. How this toy will be available to consumers is unknown but we'll keep you updated. 2005 Board member has included some screen shots from the new dvd of this new trailer and Optimus figure in silhouette.

Additionaly, some new images popped up over the weekend of the new food strap Happy Meal toys and you can see them here

IDW’s new editor John Barber shared his thoughts on Hasbro’s Transformers and G. I. Joe Franchises.

“Q: Would I be right in saying the movie comics are currently done until what happens next with the franchise is decided?

A: I can’t confirm or deny anything right now. I’m just not sure what we’re going to do about moving forward. Its one of the things on the agenda I have to talk about when I get to IDW. We’ll see where everything stands and figure it out from there.

Q: After planning and plotting through three major, and well-received movie-verse comic series - how would you describe your Transformers perspective/history/vision to fans that might not know much about you, other than your work?

A: The thing I wanted to do going into the movie-verse was respect it and what had gone on before, and also tell stories I felt people would want to pick up. You know, if they had never seen a comic or maybe they’d come out of the movie theatre and they wanted some more. As much as the continuity stuff played a role in it—and as big a length as I went to not contradict or retcon anything—to me, the main thing was that you could pick up Foundation or Rising Storm and get a whole new set of adventures with these characters. You know, sometimes you see these movie tie-ins, and I’m not speaking of the Transformers ones, I mean historically throughout the history of comic books, and the worst ones for me are those that focus in on one specific continuity issue, or thread, that someone really wouldn’t care about. You should be able to enjoy these without necessarily knowing what came before.”


You can read more (and not just movie-verse, mind you) over at IDW.

With all the excitement of TFCon now passed (and what a great weekend it was), we now turn to the third of the big three summer Transformers conventions: Auto Assembly. AA2011 is less than two weeks away, and there is plenty of news about the 2011 and the 2012 conventions.

First and foremost, we've got the program for the events across the whole weekend. An update went out by email within the last two days, detailing the various panels, contests and other activities taking place. Read on for the full text of this update. The key panels taking place across the weekend include Auto Assembly's first ever Friday panel, celebrating the 25th anniversary of Simon Furman's legendary UK story Target 2006. This panel is hosted by Nick Roche and also includes Simon Furman and Geoff Senior. Saturday will see a panel with Gregg Berger, while Sunday's program includes panels with David Kaye, David Wise, and Death's Head!

Other events across the weekend include contests for Artwork, Kitbash, Mosaic, and Cosplay, a Beast Wars Transmetals videogame tournament and a Transformers Connect 4 tournament.

Another great event over the weekend is that Hasbro UK will have a display of upcoming Transformers products. The display is billed as showcasing some of the latest Transformers available - so probably nothing groundbreaking in terms of upcoming products, but still a nice chance to see some toys yet to hit the UK in the flesh.


Last but by no means least, let's look ahead to 2012 and Auto Assembly 2012. Bookings are open now for Auto Assembly 2012 and already in the first few days nearly 50 tickets for the 2012 event have been sold. This may well be Auto Assembly's first ever sell-out event! Auto Assembly 2012 will take place on 3-5 August at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel (near Birmingham International Airport) in Birmingham, UK.

I look forward to seeing many of you there!

Deadline Hollywood has reported that Transformers: Dark of the Moon has surpassed the prestigious $1 Billion mark, making DOTM not only the most successful movie in the franchise, but the first movie from Paramount to cross the barrier. DOTM is also currently the 10th highest grossing movie of all time, beating out the majority of the Harry Potter films, the Spider-Man trilogy, and all six Star Wars films.

The Movie's run is far from over, however. Considering the last two movies had four month theatre runs, DOTM can possibly break even more records in the remaining three months it has. Could DOTM overtake 2008's The Dark Knight, who is currently resting at $1.001 Billion?

Thanks to HK-TF.com, we are now able to see a detailed photo gallery of the upcoming Transformers: Prime deluxe toy of Starscream!

This figure looks to be a very faithful representation of Starscream from the Transformers: Prime show. This new gallery provides an additional, closer look at this figure previously reviewed here.

The excitement for the retail release of these figures continues to build, and this gallery certainly indicates that we are but a few steps away at seeing this figure (and more) at retail stores soon!

Check out the image gallery after the jump!

Richard Hammond of Top Gear once said… “If you are under 12 then this to you is Bumblebee from the Transformers movies and in a minute it is going to stand-up and throw an Oil Tanker at my face. But back in the 60s its grandfather was fighting the Cold-War”.

He was talking about the new Chevrolet Camaro. The car is now 45 years old, this September. Chevrolet is celebrating with this video featuring the Bumblebee/Transformers Edition Camaro.


It was doors wide open today at GM Canada's Oshawa Assembly Plant as over 2,000 enthusiasts from across Canada and the U.S. descended upon Oshawa to visit the home of the Chevrolet Camaro. On display was the Transformers Bumblebee Camaro.

Michael Bay’s Transformers Live Action Movie Series not only revived the franchise we all love but also revived the Camaro. As the trilogy ended we even said “Goodbye!” to the Hummer and the GMC Topkick (Ratchet and Ironhide respectively). Driving a good car, above all else… is fun. But this whole “look-back” experience is tinged with the knowledge that I’m writing about something that has ended.

What’s interesting is the Camaro Tagline: "The Camaro story has no ending. It's just beginning". What do you think of the car which gave life to movie Bumblebee? Leave a thought at 2005 Boards.

Along with the IDW Transformers Ongoing #23, another IDW book is releasing and it’s called Alex Milne Transformers Sketchbook.

Mr. Milne updated his DeviantArt page with the Clean Cover of the sketchbook. Josh Perez is the one who did all the coloring and the artwork looks just brilliant.

Take a look at the full cover after the jump.

There's been some buzz this past week about what Animated Menasor's head should look like, thanks to the G1Upper's Animated Menasor head sketches. Now we have a sketch from the man himself, Derrick J. Wyatt, of what he thinks Animated Menasor's head looks like. Given Derrick J. Wyatt worked with Fun Publications to design the Animated Stunticons, and was the character designer for Transformers Animated, this is as close to a canonical head design for Animated Menasor as we are ever likely to see.

Click on the link above to check it out - it's very different from the G1Upper designs, and blends in the classic Menasor helmet look with the modern Animated Motormaster facial hair.

Auto Assembly 2011 is a little under a week away now, and here's some great news of one of the cool items that will be available at the show. Nick Roche will be attending Auto Assembly 2011, and he will be bringing along a pair of art prints for sale. The first of them is called "Sticky Fingers" and is based on Nick and James Roberts' seminal "Last Stand of the Wreckers" miniseries. Art by Nick Roche, and colors by Josh of the 2005 Boards! Stay tuned as there is a second piece of artwork yet to be shared.

Fun Publications have begun to share a series of assorted pieces of artwork and other goodies on their Deviant Art Gallery. There are some interesting pieces on there, but what stands out to me the most of what is there right now are these two pieces:

Fangry Pitch
First Aid Pitch

These two documents linked above are examples of the "pitch" documents produced by Fun Publications when they are suggesting the year's Transformers exclusives to Hasbro. They are a look at toys we never got and never will get, and present a view into the process of designing and producing a Botcon exclusive toy. Check them out, this is presumably how all Botcon exclusives start out, with photoshops and images of the original toys.

Other items of interest can be seen in the full gallery and these include concept sketches for Botcon 2007-9 Elita-1, an unused Transtech Depth Charge, comic pages without dialog balloons and a whole lot more. Check out the gallery, and check back often - more items are being added over the next few days according to Fun Publications.
