Some more news coming out of Hamatoys today - this time out it is the Dark of the Moon Bash Bots. These are part of the Robo Power sub-assortment, and feature and Autobot and a Decepticon that you can bash into each other. The real revelation here is the back of the package which reveals just how the "Smash and Bash" action works - much like the brief scene in the Superbowl trailer, these sets invite you to bash the two included vehicles together and they will both auto-transform to robot mode to "battle".

One of the great things about the band JAM Project, who performed the Japanese theme song to Transformers Animated, is their live concerts. At a recent live performance, they performed a different version of Transformers Evo, which has been uploaded to Youtube by Youtube user Alpha21danse. Check out the embedded video below:

We've got another great new Transformers Dark of the Moon toy here for you today, courtesy of ebay seller kiditoys. Okay, maybe "new" is a slight exaggeration - it is a redeco of Landmine, from the 2007 Movie line, in the style of a Lunar rover. There's only the one vehicle mode picture for the time being.

We also don't know where this toy might be coming out. Presumably given the lack of a Mech Tech accessory, it might be another store exclusive release like the Voyager Class Starscream redeco we saw at the weekend. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

Takara-Tomy have updated their website with a page for the upcoming Masterpiece series Convoy Final Edition. The page does not give much insight into what new additions the mold will have, beyond the sound base that will reveal the identity of the next Masterpiece release. Nonetheless, enjoy the new official product pictures on the page.

2005 Boards member has shared with us some images and his thoughts on Power Core Combiners Undertow with Waterlog. Undertow is the last new mold Power Core Combiner planned for release, in the final fifth wave of two packs. He's a cool little boat with an excellent Mini-Con and a rockin' combined mode head sculpt. Read on and check out the images and Megatroptimus' review.

Lacking Frenzy, but gaining a new more accurate sculpt and head articulation, does this version of Barricade measure up to the standards of the original? Read on and check out Red leader's thoughts!

A list of new Takara-Tomy Dark of the Moon toy listings has been circulating around the internet. This new listing confirms that the Cyberverse series and certain other toys are getting a Japanese release, as well as a new Optimus Prime and Bumblebee variation. Plus, there are two new toys on the list - Mudflap and something named Condor. But way back when in Japan, Condor was the name of Laserbeak. And there was that mystery birdlike thing in the Superbowl trailer... Hmm...

Read on for the full listings, then join in the discussion and the speculation on our 2005 Boards!

Here's the sighting you've all been waiting for. The Reveal the Shield Voyagers have been sighted at US retail. Lugnut here was found in a Bay Area Target in North California by the girlfriend of 2005 Boards member xterry. This hopefully also means that Strafe and Solar Storm Grappel are starting to enter circulation.

Happy hunting everyone, the long wait for these excellent toys is finally coming to its end!

This week brings us a new Transformers Animated exclusive reveal - but not Botcon this time! This go around, it is the Transformers Collectors Club Exclusive Cheetor! We've seen some photoshopped pictures before, but check out these pictures of the final version in all his glory. The new head does a great job of making him visually distinct from Blurr, who Cheetor is a remold of.

Click on the link above to check out robot and vehicle mode images as well as a bio!


On a fun, and unrelated note, Derrick J Wyatt is trying his hand at the kind of dark poetry that only a 'bot like Dead End might write:

"I collapse to the oil stained floor of the garage, cracked and crumbled from the attack’s barrage
the throbbing tormenting boredom of this existence, spans unrelenting into infinite distance
painful longing to return to dust, we are all just food for rust." The End.

One of the lines they had produced was known as Transformers Junior. These were smaller, but fully transformable, versions of a few of the most popular G1 characters. Today for our Featured Ebay Auctions, we want to share some of the excellent figures from this line.

Slash Film is reporting that the visitors of Russian International Film Market this week, experienced several never-before-seen trailers/clips from upcoming movies, including Michael Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

“The CGI looks even better than the two first films [put] together. There are some really innovative visual decisions and the 3D has an amazing quality. There was one kinda big spot with Sam and his new blond girlfriend that helps him get a job. Since everyone cares about her being in this film, from this spot I can tell that she [demands] much of the attention. It feels so [forced] when the camera catches her to show everyone her sexiness when it’s not really needed. Well, yes, she looks sexy, and from that spot she didn’t [show] any emotion on her face, [either].”

Ebay seller dj-wiso has posted an auction for the new Dark of the Moon deluxe class Sideswipe. Sideswipe retains his iconic swords - here formed by a single piece of the car bodywork rather than the scissor style transformation of the Revenge of the Fallen deluxe. He also appears to have much less of a backpack, but unfortunately lacks the awesome silver paint of his previous releases.

We've got an update on some of the upcoming, highly anticipated releases from Headrobots. First up is the Gyro set for converting Revenge of the Fallen Whirl into a more Generation 1 styled version of himself - dare I say considering Generation 1 Whirl's look it could fit in with Classics? The update here is it is a Megatoyfan exclusive, and it is up for preorder now, priced at $35. I'm informed the stock is limited and the piece is selling out fast!

There is also an update on the Big Bad Toy Store exclusive Alternate Universe Hothead - the custom Wal-Mart Headhead set based on Headhead's look in the comics. It's been slightly delayed as some improvements are being made to the modeling on the lips. Last but not last, the Blood the Dark Warrior set - the Revenge of the Fallen Voyager Class Bludgeon custom upgrades - are progressing well with testing on the chrome.

Cybergundam's blog has updated with some new information on Transformers items coming to Japan in May for Dark of the Moon. First up is confirmation that Japan will also get to enjoy the Stealth Force line, probably because it is being used in the film in some degree.

Second, there are some images of the Robo Power Robo Fighter figures. Nothing too shocking here, except there is confirmation that these mini-Powerbots all have some kind of transformation in their bodies to deploy even more guns. I'm quite partial to the idea of Ironhide getting shoulder launchers to go with his arm cannons!

Lastly there are some images of the "Transformer Battle Masks" which look similar in style to the Cinemasks that are getting released in the US, except these are full face masks, and the visors seem to be on the outside. I'm also unclear on if they function as 3D glasses, or are just cool masks for kids to wear.

Check out all the images by clicking on the link above. According to the page, this is all hitting Japan on May 14th, which appears to be the worldwide release date for Transformers Dark of the Moon merchandise.

Here's something we don't see all that often anymore - a test shot for an unreleased Transformers toy! Lately, all those leaked factory samples have been near finished articles - but here is one from earlier along the production line, which is used to work out what plastic color each part of the toy should be molded in. Ebay Seller icetwin65 offers up this test shot of Dark of the Moon Sentinel Prime. The red leader was brought to our attention by none other than Red leader of our 2005 Boards. Check out the auction by clicking on the link above.

nihaohuwen of Yahoo Japan auctions has listed an auction of Dark of the Moon Voyager Class Shockwave in package. The back of the package lacks the bio (it's on the side as with Reveal the Shield), but the arm cannon is referred to as a "Particle Wave Blaster" which sounds like a suitably logical choice for Shockwave's arsenal. Check out the images by clicking on the link above, or read on for our mirror.

b-o-t of ACToys has relayed some images of the first assortment of Dark of the Moon Deluxe toys in package. Front and back images are present of Crankcase, Roadbuster and Ratchet, and there's a front of package image of Bumblebee only. Ratchet's back of package image is too blurry to make out the bio, although there's enough clarity to read Crankcase's and Roadbuster's - some of the information in them might be considered spoiler-ish!

There's also an in-hand truck mode image of Leader Class Ironhide, bizarrely hauling around a cigarette packet, although you can use that to get an idea of the truck mode's scale. Click on the link above to see all of the images.

Looks like Hasbro has started promoting their upcoming Transformers: Dark of the Moon Toyline.

TFW2005 Member fallen_revenge is sharing with us a video clip, where we get to see Hasbro sponsoring Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2011 with an image of Voyager Class Optimus Prime in a starry background.

Take a look at the 0:21 mark to see the advertisement. With just 27 days to go till KCA 2011, we’ll probably see Transformers 3 Toy Advertisements frequently on the television. Since Hasbro is a sponsor… Yep, we’ll see DOTM Toy Ads pretty much throughout the entire Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2011 show.


Any chance of an actual Movie TV Spot at the awards?

A new image of Dark of the Moon Voyager Starscream has surfaced on Ebay. This time out, it is a loose picture, showing off a clear look at this Starscream's robot mode. He's a much darker gray this time out, with some nice red highlights on the exposed sections of his chest. The tattoos are in a lighter, metallic color, which offsets nicely against the darker gray. Check out the image by clicking on the thumbnail to the left.

Need a bit more *BAM* in your day? How about some in package pictures of Transformers Generations Warpath, courtesy of a TFClub Taobao auction? You can check out the front and back of the package, including getting a good look at the bio. But that's not all! For some extra *SPOOM*, *c*ke*th has an auction up with some new, loose, in-hand images. With Wheeljack and Thundercracker arriving in stock at our sponsors, can Warpath be far behind?
