We've got multiple reports tonight - including one from 2005 Boards member Hye6640, who took the pic you see to the left - that the Dark of the Moon Deluxe Wave 5 is hitting US retail. Wave 5 consists of recolor Armor Topspin, remold Darksteel, and new mold Air Raid. The sightings thus far have all been in the California region - the photo attached to this report was taken in the Visalia Ca Target. Target seems to be the place to look if you want any of these guys - most of the sightings so far have been there.

CM's Corp have updated their blog with some new images of their Guttu Kurru Minerva figure, showing more detail on her packpack. Big deal, right? Well, as a Headmaster, Minerva's backpack forms the face of her Transtector's robot mode. This figure goes the extra mile and incorporates this design into the figure. The backpack is removable, with a couple of moving parts to transform it into "face" mode.

The images also reveal that the lower part of Minerva's hair is detachable, so it should not interfere with poseability.

Here's a bit of an oddity for the Cyberverse Legion Stealth Bumblebee - a minor packaging variant. Evidently some Stealth Bumblebees out there are straight up named Bumblebee on the packaging, while others use the correct "Stealth Bumblebee". It's not just a case of a wrong insert - the back of the card is also printed up with the regular Bumblebee name. They are apparently out there in equal numbers, so this might be a running change in the packaging style, since evidently Bolt Bumblebee was also marketed as plain old Bumblebee.

When our crew at the New York Comic-Con shared a look at the Transformers Prime Cyberverse toys earlier, one of the main talking points was the use of clear plastic, particular on Megatron. We've received some more pictures from our team at the NYCC which reveals just what all that clear plastic is going to do! Evidently Wheeljack's spaceship will come with a light up feature, which can attach to other Cyberverse figures to make them "glow" through their transparent plastic parts - perhaps to simulate an Energon infusion?

Although this answer raises further questions - could this mean a Decepticon light-up set is also on the cards, to give the Decepticons an evil red or purple glow? And with the emphasis on clear weapons, and the ports on Wheeljack's ship looking just the right size to take them, could there be potential to attach the clear weapons to the ship and make them light up too?

Join in the speculation on our 2005 Boards!

Check out these images from our crew at the New York Comic-Con. On show at the Hasbro booth were the next two Dark of the Moon Deluxe toys, Wheeljack and Soundwave. Hasbro has truly saved some great toys for this latest wave with both looking very close to their on-screen counterparts. According to the cards on the display, you can expect to add this pair to your collection in December 2011.

As you may remember, a few months back TFW2005 uncovered a new Trademark named Unit:E. We thought of it as some sort of a project to unite Hasbro’s most popular brands including Transformers.

It seems as though we came pretty close. The project encompasses a whole range of Hasbro products, many not seen since the 80's, including Micronauts, Jem and the Holograms, Action Man and M.A.S.K.!

Read on to check out the promotional poster from the New York Comic Con 2011.

Since the very first Michael Bay Transformers Live Action Movie back in 2007 Titan Magazine of United Kingdom released movie specific issues from June 2007. Sadly, the movie issues have come to an end.

From October 2011, Titan Magazine’s Transformers Issues are rebranded as Transformers: Prime. We’ve heard rumors of this happening, but today TFW2005 Members ojcoolj1 and Oberoniss brought us details of the rebranding.

Issue #1
Biographies of characters
Episode Guide: Darkness Rising
Comic Strip: The Safe And The Failsafe
During a routine training mission in the "Practice Area", Bulkhead accidentally sets off a nuclear missile's timer. The missile is designed to kill them and it attracts Vehicons, who think it's Energon.

This could very well signal the end of the Michael Bay Transformers Movie Era and at the same time indicate Hasbro is planning for a solid Transformers: Prime future.

Robot Kingdom has put up a new preorder for DA-15 Dark Nightwatch Jetwing Optimus Prime. This figure is a redeco of the Japan exclusive Jetwing Optimus and will feature chromed parts. Additionally, this version of the figure will have the head that features Optimus sans mouth plate. The preorder is expected to be in early December of this year.

One more thing to point out, is this figures color scheme bares a striking resemblance to a figure by the name of SCOURGE. Is this your chance to add a movie SCOURGE to your collection?

An interesting bit, is the UNIT:E project is also being headed up by former IDW Senior Editor, Andy Schmitt, and artist Marcelo Matere.

Are you one of the many 2005 Board members with children? Do your kids benefit from the comfort of Optimus Prime? Or maybe, you have a keen sense of interior decorating and need a pillow in the shape of a truck? Well, if the answer to any of these questions is "yes" then Target has something in store from you. This adorable (and squishy) Dark Of The Moon Optimus Prime pillow was found by 2005 Board member fisch at a Target in Florida. Unfortunatley, it doesn't transform ala Softimus Prime, but it is darn cute.

Talk about crappy connections. We got online just now, so here are the images from the Transformers Panel at NYCC. Key shots include TF3 movie Wheeljack classic deco, Soundwave Soundblaster deco, White Ratchet deco, and TF Prime Deluxe Wheeljack and Soundwave figures. Also of interest are some shots of the upcoming Fall of Cybertron game.

Key notes from the Video Game part include:

Shockwave opens a space bridge to search the universe for powerful forces, etc, finds dinosaurs on Earth. Takes form and applies to bots on Cybertron. Tries to control new Dinobots, can't.

Sees Earth as a good source of energy to repower Cybertron.

More Dinobots hinted at.

Build a Bot part of game is huge, testers are spending 2 hours plus just playing around creating characters.
