TFClub have shared a pair of new images of the upcoming Human Alliance Basic Wave 4, Reverb and Crosshairs. Reverb's weapon mode is confirmed to be a "Gunner Station" (I figured it was either that or a device to create a wind tunnel, which it still might be thinking about it). Both toys are also confirmed to be Autobots, meaning that Dragstrip and Icepick are still currently the only Decepticons in this sub series. Both toys also look mighty fine, especially the dynamic looking Reverb.

L-U of HK-TF has shared some high-resolution images of the two Wave 3 Human Alliance Basics. Wave 3 includes Decepticon Dragstrip, who transforms into racer and shield modes, and is seen here in the hands of the larger Voyager class toys who can properly wield him. He is joined by Sandstorm redeco Half Track, seen here clearly in both modes and compared to Sandstorm. Check out the galleries by clicking on the links above.

Takara-Tomy have updated their Transformers Heat Scramble site with details of the new booster set for the Collectible Card Game. This booster set adds not only more units, actions and events from the first two live action Transformers movies, but it also adds cards based on Transformers Dark of the Moon, included cards of Shockwave & The Driller, cloaked Megatron with his shotgun, Optimus Prime with his trailer, and a very angry looking Sentinel Prime. Details of the cards can be viewed on the cards and decks overview page here, but what I think most of you will want to see is the gorgeous artwork, which can be viewed in a separate gallery here. Much kudos to Takara-Tomy for sharing the artwork individually. There's also artwork of four event exclusive cards - special cards only given away at tournaments and the like.

25 Years. That's nearly how long it has been since Transformers the Movie killed Optimus Prime and showed an entire generation of children that sometimes even the good guys go to the big truck stop in the sky. But it's also been 25 years since Vince DiCola's Transformers score first graced our ears (and what a great score it is too, still standing the test of time 25 years on).

That's what this article is all about. Examiner.com has posted an interview with Mr DiCola, taking a fond look back at his memories of composing for Transformers, his first Botcon, and a boxer named Rocky Balboa. Check it out here.

Sometimes, news gets overlooked. With the recent barrage of Movie-related news, it seems we overlooked the fact that many members of our 2005 Boards started to received their Transformers Collector's Club exclusive Generation 2 Ramjets. A few even received their Cheetors! (To the best of my knowledge, nobody who ordered both has yet received theirs, and this newsie is still waiting for his shipping notification)

Many thanks to all the members of our 2005 Boards who have joined in the discussion and pointed out this fact - here's to you, the best community on the best Transformers site on the internet!

Japanese blog site Mame Gyorai has posted some more images from the International Tokyo Toy Show 2011 and these cute little critters were among the new stuff shown! Check them out to the left - it seems in Japan McDonalds gets the fast food premiums, and these make Optimus Prime a mack again - Big Mac, that is! Bumblebee, as appropriate for a yellow robot, hangs out in the fries, and a soda is shown in the background - what do you want to bet Ironhide jumps out of that one?

These as you can see seem to have a gimmick where the character "jumps" out of the food item, although my first thought on seeing them was the great old McDonalds McChangeables from the 80's. Could this be a spiritual successor to that great old promotion?

There's also some great other upcoming toy images on the blog - we've mirrored them here for your convenience, though be sure to click that link above to check out the whole wider Tokyo Toy Show coverage.

Here's the big one - at the International Tokyo Toy Show 2011, Masterpiece Convoy Version 2.0 was officially shown off to the public for the first time. 2005 Boards member Masabon was in the audience and he took a video recording of the entire unveiling - which you can see by reading on.

Masabon has also kindly provided us with a few key pictures including the comparison image of the new Convoy 2.0 and the original Masterpiece Convoy, showing the difference in design between the two toys. The toy was displayed after the presentation, and Masabon has also supplied pictures of the display.

On a final note, Masabon reports that the designer who designed Convoy talked enthusiastically about how he wants to make a combiner for the Masterpiece series, and said that he wanted to make a Masterpiece Bruticus. This is not to say there will be a Masterpiece Bruticus, just that the designer would like to make one.
It's pretty positive news though to know that like us, the designers also like the idea of a Masterpiece Combiner Transformer!

2005 Boards member Masabon reports in from the International Tokyo Toy Show 2011 with news of various items being shown at the show. First item of massive interest is our first look at the upcoming Transformers Chronicle Optimus Prime and Megatron sets. First of all, check out the box art - it's an utterly gorgeous display piece pairing the Generation 1 characters with their Movie selves. The Megatron box, which features Dark of the Moon Megatron, looks particularly nice with Megatron's cloak.

The toys themselves are also on show - indicated here is that Megatron does not appear to come with his stock and silencer, and seems to lack the chrome on the display picture (the one on display has it though so don't take this as fact yet). The Dark of the Moon Megatron is also slightly repainted with silver bumpers for the truck mode. The Optimus Prime set is only shown with one trailer, the Dark of the Moon Voyager trailer, although the Movie Optimus Prime in the set is the Wal-Mart exclusive Deluxe Optimus Prime - with a new MechTech weapon.

Stay tuned for more news and information from the Tokyo Toy Show!

And now for the rest! The International Tokyo Toy Show includes many displays of upcoming Transformers merchandise for Japan, some of which we have already highlighted in the past few days. Now we will take a step back and show you everything else that is being shown, from the Dark of the Moon displays to the rather awesome Cyberverse display. Plus check out the Jetwings Optimus Prime suspended as if it is in flight - pretty groovy!

The reported Devastator display is also photographed here - but it's just the original toy, so no indication of what is actually going to be reissued. There's an interesting note though that this was always intended for a reissue, planned for last year because he was in Revenge of the Fallen, but the mold was not in a usable condition so Masabon suspects the mold had to be refitted, hence why we are seeing this now.

Last but by no means least there are some images of the Tokyo Toy Show exclusives in hand, the United Darkside set, as well as a new image of the actual Lawson's exclusive Optimus Prime Darkside Edition - no photoshoppery this time!

Check out all the images by reading on with this story, or see our Japanese Transformers News category for more information on specific items like the Transformers Chronicle sets that might interest you.

Masabon reports that the next Japan-only item in the Transformers Darkside Moon - Japanese Dark of the Moon - line, Vortex, has been released in Japan at the International Tokyo Toy Show. He has sent us over a couple of quick in-hand images of Vortex in packaging, along with the Tech Specs and Bio of this Tomahawk remold.

Vortex is the aerial soldier of Decepticon. As he has ruthless and brutal nature, he ultimate pleasure is to chop up the Autobot he captures.

Chenkofs of TFClub has shared a pair of new galleries, showcasing the next two Dark of the Moon Human Alliance Basics. Wave 4 consists of Crosshairs and Reverb. Crosshairs is a recolor of Thunderhead from wave 1, and looks really cool in the more military color scheme - there's an image that shows beautifully how much these work as an army builder. Reverb is the new mold, and we can finally confirm from these images that his alternate mode is a hoverbike. He also looks very sharp in robot mode, which is probably his strongest mode.

If the Transformers Toys you buy comes with another label titled “Funskool”, you are one of the countries getting toys from Funskool, India; a toy company manufacturing Transformers, G. I. Joe, Nerf etc. toys on behalf of Hasbro.

Although, the street date of the Transformers: Dark of the Moon toys was on May 16th, some of our members informed us that their countries are yet to see the toys on stores. TFW2005 contacted Funskool in India to find out more. We were told that the latest shipment (DOTM Wave 1) was issued to the Indian Subcontinent Countries last Wednesday (June 15th) and sure enough we saw the stores stocking the toys yesterday.

Back when the Target exclusive Starscream was first revealed, something that attracted an understandable amount of fan criticism was the cockpit - specifically how the cockpit was painted instead of clear plastic like on the original. Well, your wish is now granted - because a variant has just been spotted that gives clear plastic for the cockpit instead of red. Check out the picture at right - the variant is to the left, the initial version to the right.
