There is an element which Hasbro should (and I’m sure they are) be proud of. An element which helped them to keep the Transformers Franchise going since its inception back in 1984. An element which demands, debates, appraise and even help taking the third Michael Bay Transformers Live Action Movie to become the 5th Highest Grossing Movie Of All-Time. This element therefore is the most valuable part of the franchise… The Fans.

Transformer Peru is a group which started back in 2003 and grew to be an association recognized by the Peru Government. Their dedication, hard work has led them to become a cultural aspect of their country, something we all as Transformers Fans should be proud of.

You can take a look at what they have done to make Transformers: Dark of the Moon, a success in Peru and appreciate their hard work, over at the thread 2005 Boards Member Neo-Bombshell has shared with us.

TFW2005 wish them all success and a wonderful future ahead. Good luck guys, keep-up the good work!

A few days ago, we broke news about an upcoming Mastermind Creations exclusive repaint based on Shattered Glass Optimus Prime. TFW2005's very own Vangelus (who does a little podcast for the site called WTF@TFW) visited Cherry Bomb Toys to talk (as well as take review footage) about the upcoming third-party toy, which is exclusive to the 8th Annual Victoria's Ultimate Toy and Hobby Fair, through Cherry Bomb Toys. There will be only 500 of this item made, 200 of which are special bundles with a special axe made by Renderform. There is also a non-attendee version, that will ship after the show itself.

While the USA might be waiting until September for new Transformers Prime episodes, Canada is steaming ahead! Last week Teletoon aired T.M.I., episode 21 of Transformers Prime. This weekend, they aired episode 22, for which we currently have no title.

Fans of Ratchet (or his voice actor Jeffrey Combs), you'll be pleased - this episode gives him plenty to do.

The last week in the Transformers world saw a lot of events, foremost among them the third of the "big three" summer Transformers conventions, Auto Assembly 2011 in Birmingham UK! A great weekend was had by all, with the crazy fun time that comes with a Transformers fan gathering. The buzz for Auto Assembly 2012 has already started with the announcement of two guests of honor for the 2012 convention, and the promise of more great stuff to come.

Elsewhere in the world, Canada got a new episode of Transformers Prime before the rest of the world, and the US saw the release of Human Alliance Leadfoot. Wherever you were, chances are something awesome happened!

Another Dark of the Moon Voyager Shockwave redeco has popped up on Ebay seller RifleScopeShop's store. This one is an odd piece, the main toy seems more or less unchanged - but the cannon and hose are rendered in clear plastic. There are only vehicle mode shots on the listing, but they should be enough to give you an idea of what this odd second version of Shockwave is.

Like the seemingly underpainted gray version we saw last month, we are not sure where or how this version will be released - stay tuned for more updates.

A small gallery of the Toys R Us Japan exclusive Darkside Optimus Prime has been posted by Alfes on his blog. This rather cool little toy is a reworking of the Legends class toy from Revenge of the Fallen, done in the Robots in Disguise Scourge colors and using that nice smokey clear plastic. This cool piece was available with purchases of 3,000 yen or more on Dark of the Moon toys, while stocks lasted.

Here's something a little unusual. Remember how the Sharkticons in the 1986 Transformers movie - 25 years old this month! - came in vast hordes? Hong Kong fan group Transformers Galaxy appears to be playing follow the leader on the Sharkticon front, as they have posted a couple of images of scores of miniature non-transforming Sharkticons. Perfect for showing large crowds of the things. No idea if it is them or another group making these, nor how many there will be, prices or anything like that. As always, more information will be posted when it becomes available.

Here is something that we thought was cool and we hope you do too. Alex Milne has posted lineart of Nominus Prime, from Transformers Ongoing 23, on his Deviant Art account. Nominus is the Prime before Sentinel Prime. According to Alex, he decided to make this one a jet since so many other Primes are land-based vehicles.

This art and many other pieces like it are featured in the IDW Transformers Alex Milne sketchbook, on sale now.

Hasbro has applied for a new Trademark at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, TFW2005 learns. The trademark is named UNIT:E and is classified under various categories including Motion Picture.

The description clearly mention a numerous amount of detail that may apply to many of Hasbro’s brands including Transformers, G. I. Joe, My Little Pony, Nerf, Monopoly and many others (complete description, after the jump).

This new trademark may apply to anything, for we do not know exactly what it means. However, if you all would recall, last year in May, leaked information from Hasbro mentioned a movie featuring many of its brands; a movie very much like Toy Story but with Hasbro toys.

We will update you on this new development as soon as we hear more stuff. Stay tuned with TFW2005, HISSTANK and TOYARK for more info.

Robot Kingdom has posted images of the next two entries into the Transformers Alternity line - Dai Atlas and Goldbug, redecos of Alternity Convoy and Bumble respectively. Neither of them feature different heads as had been reported, just alternate paint schemes. The paint schemes do look like they have a nice metallic finish, but will this be enough to sway you into buying these two new Alternities?

The lack of new head toolings suggests that the other two reported Alternity releases, Banzai-Tron and Galvatron, will also use existing heads, although this news hopes that if only one of these does get a new head, it is Galvatron.

Here is something of interest - it looks like there is a fourth Toys R Us exclusive set on the way. This one is priced at $49.99 and is described on the shelf tag, spotted by 2005 Boards member Megatronus, as a "TF3 VOYAGER DELUXE PACK". Given the cost, it is potentially in a similar vein to the Revenge of the Fallen Gathering at Nemesis pack.

We'll update you when more information becomes available - popular thinking is that one of the two Shockwave redecos we have seen recently might be featured in this set.

Here's some fun news for you - site sponsor Big Bad Toy Store has put up a listing for a set of reproduction Tech Specs for the mail-in Transformers from the early part of Generation 1 - the Powerdashers, the Omnibots and Reflector (all three of him). What is so cool about this set is that the three individual Reflector bots and the Powerdashers never had individual tech specs before - in fact, the Powerdashers never even got names! (These Tech Specs name them Zetar, Aragon and Chromar)

If you're a Generation 1 collector and want to give these toys the dignity of their own identity, check out this set! It'll be the same high quality as previous Tech Spec Repro sets by Atomic Laser, and it is due in September with a list price of $15.99.

Hong Kong fashion magazine Milk is celebrating its 10th anniversary in Prime style - Optimus Prime, that is. Working with Hasbro, they are offering two exclusive - and very limited - versions of Deluxe Class Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime. These ones are hand-painted so are a different caliber of limited edition prize toys. One version sports an extremely detailed "premium" paint job, while the other sports a black deco that makes him look very much like a movie Scourge or Black Convoy.

The next issue of Milk magazine will contain the details of how to get these toys - expect a prize draw with these as the grand prize and runner up prizes, I'm thinking.

Hasbro has revealed the Official Instruction Sheet of Transformers: Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class Wheeljack (or Que if you prefer to call him by that name).

However, the instruction sheet sports a new head (Oh, the irony!) Sorry Jackie, no disrespect. Anyway, this could mean a possible retool, but at the moment it is yet to be announced (Or not).

You can download the Instruction Sheet here.

TFW's Transformers galleries are BACK! We took a little break for the launch of Dark of the Moon and the convention season, but now that is all a pleasant memory, we are going to turn the dial up to 11 and serve up some crisp galleries of images of all your favorite Transformers toys.

First up, courtesy of SydneyY, is an extensive gallery of the Takara-Tomy Japan exclusive Jetwing Optimus Prime. This toy was only available in Japan and through selected retailers in Australia, and it's a pity because it is a gorgeous piece recreating Optimus Prime's rocket pack from the final battle of Transformers Dark of the Moon in Leader Class.

Optimus is also packing a pair of chainguns in this version - all the better to gun down Decepticons with!

Check out the gallery by clicking on the link below, and be sure to visit again soon - we have lots of cool images to share with you including Botcon and TFCon exclusives, and all the cool new toys that have been appearing on pegs, and some old favorites as well!

More new additional images from TFclub's Hercules project continue to roll in. First up, our first look at a CG image of the last component to be revealed, Madblender. No robot mode pics just yet, but still impressive looking so far.

We also have a new image of Hercules' chest shield. According to the photographer, the two triangle segments of the shield are accessories coming with Neckbreaker. They can be plugged into Neckbreaker's chest plate as well as is in alt mode. The center rectangle segment of the shield can be applied to Structor in a leg mode.

Check out all of the above and much more after the jump!
