Great news, Transformers Kabaya kit fans! We've got a double reveal to share with you now. Revealed today on Rakutan stores, Snakas' blog and the Cybergundam blog amongst many others are two new series of Transformers Kabaya kits. First of all, there is a fifth wave of the revived Kabaya Transformers, and second, a new Kabaya combiner set.

Starting with Wave 5, there are three great new additions in the form of Deathsaurus from Transformers Victory, War for Cybertron Optimus Prime and a Classics style reimaginging of Protectobot Hot Spot. Some pretty cool choices - and another Transformers Victory character given some love as a Kabaya! Each kit in the set also comes with extra parts to form "full armour" Deathsaurus - I'm guessing that means he'll have both breastmasters?

The second new reveal is the combiner set, a follow on to the reimagined Multiforce Gaia Cross. This set is named Gaia Guardian and is based on the Protectobots - with a couple of extra members. The six Protectobots here are named Streetwise, First Aid, Graze (aka Blades), Groove, Skyfeather and Heatrock. Streetwise, First Aid, Graze and Groove are all looking to be faithful updates to the original Protectobots from these images - the two newcomers, Skyfeather and Heatrock, a VTOL plane and a drill tank, are homages to a pair of Brave characters. All six together merge into the super robot, Gaia Guardian. But there's more! As alluded to in an interview graciously translated by 2005 Boards member SydneyY, this is a full on Kabaya Scramble City combiner - Kabaya Transformers Wave 5 Hot Spot can merge with the Gaia Guardian to form a full-on Defensor update, God Guardian!

Are you as excited as me? Sound off on our 2005 Boards!

Zap2it has updated with the title and description of the 28th episode of Transformers Prime. The title is no surprise considering the title of the season premiere, and the description - which I think most people following the show saw coming a mile away - does spoil a certain plot development, so read at your own risk.

A neew images has reached us of the Transformers Prime Arms Microns - the new mold, non-exclusive ones. These guys are set to be Capsule Toys. Four are shown so far, and from this and previous images, we believe this is only the first assortment! Shown here are two Autobot and two Decepticon Arms Microns - the Autobots convert into guns, and the Decepticons into melee weapons including a nasty looking buzzsaw axe thing. Their robot modes are equally divided based on their faction - the Autobots get robot modes, while the Decepticons get animal modes, a chameleon and a cobra. Pretty awesome!

New images have been released of the upcoming Japanese versions of the Transformers Prime mainline toys, including the (for now) Japan only Skywarp. A recolored version of the First Edition Starscream, Skywarp also appears to come with new accessories.

Also shown in the new images are Japan's gimmick for the new line - unlike the US series emphasis on MechTech on the bigger toys and standard accessories on the Deluxes, Japan's releases all feature Arms Microns, small partner figures that transform into the weapons of the main characters - so Ratchet has a laser scalpel Arms Micron, Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have partners that becomes their arm cannons, etc.

This is a real departure - it is the first time a Japanese mainline has featured this extent of different toolings for many years.

A further catalog scan from the Nuremberg Toy Fair has revealed a new look at the Transformers Prime Cyberverse Energon Driller with Knock Out. The Driller is shown here in its "transformed" state looking much closer to how it appears on the show. Knock Out is also shown individually for the first time - he features two weapons, his melee Energon Shock Staff and his buzzsaw, both done in the usual clear plastic for the Cyberverse line. Read on and check out the new image, which also has another look at the Cyberverse Wheeljack included.

Back in December, a grey resin prototype of a Super-Deformed Optimus popped up on Weibo. Today, we have a color image of this figure courtesy of the weibo page of tktf (Login Required). As of now, a 3rd party group has still not laid claim to the project. But if what we saw back in December is still accurate, this figure is still transformable and comes with a paper trailer.

Take a look at the new images after the break.

Hasbro’s 2011 4th Quarter Earnings Conference Call was held just moments ago. We at TFW2005 joined the call with Hasbro to know what’s heading our way in 2012.

Most of the information was regarding financial matters and information which most of you already may know. But, it was interesting to know what’s going on behind-the-scenes.

Hasbro mentioned few tidbits of what they have planned to do in 2012 and mentioned that there will be “New Characters” introduced for Transformers. This was said immediately after Hasbro’s CEO Bryan Goldner mentioning Transformers: Prime and therefore it is safe to assume that these new characters were regarding Transformers: Prime.

We have noted-down some important facts from the Conference Call for our dear readers. You can check out TFW2005’s coverage of the event, after the jump.
