UniverseTF Coverage of Toy Fair UK!




News Article by James-
As you can probably gather by the picture, no TF pics. Unfortunately, no one, and I mean no one wanted me to take any pictures of anything! But, I can report that Barricade will be retaining his Mustang Mode, and the Soundwave and Bumblebee look extremely cool! Head over to the forums to view all the Night Before Christmas, Halo, and Call of Duty pics I got!

UK Toy Fair Part 1! *SPOILERS*



News Article by British Citizen James-



Ok, I couldn't be there today, but I shall try and get some images and maybe more news tomorrow when I do go! So here's what has been said so far...
- Devastator will be around about 2 feet tall and built like a gorilla.
- The Human Alliance Bumblebee that we have been seeing recently will be the first release in his range.
- No toys of the Fallen at present.
- There will be new Robot Replicas of Ironhide, Ratchet and Starscream.
- More information on the RPM - Robot Powered Machines - line. The cars are "Hot Wheels style" and are mainly Autobots, with their robot modes embossed on the bottom. The racetrack has tracks all over the place, and instead of the central "mountain" you sometimes see on these tracks, you've got Devastator!
- There will be a radio controlled Optimus Prime truck with Peter Cullen sound clips.
- The tank mode Megatron toy (which version is not specified) was on display, although nobody was available to comment on whether or not he is in the film.
-Devastator is... devastating! The mixing drum in his chest becomes a massive turbine grinder. It creates a turbine effect, sucking everything in Devastator's path up, and spitting it out of his back.
- Wheelie is effectively confirmed as a remote controlled car, in line with other rumors we have heard recently.
- Legions of Decepticon drones, resembling Frenzy, will cause carnage in the Witwicky household.
- Sam fights for his life on top of a car against Pretender Alice.
- Captain Lennox also gets to see some serious action against the Decepticons, with full helicopter backup.

I shall bring you guys some UniverseTF stuff tomorrow. Images, news, and maybe one sneaky little interview!

Animated to End After Season 3?! !RUMOR!

News Article by James-

I could have put this up first, by I felt it needed front page attention, TFW2005 sources have claimed that Transformers: Animated will be ending after Season 3! There is "no comment" whatsoever about the matter and so remains a rumor until proven true.

If this is true, what could this mean for the Transformers? Do they want to solely focus on the movies? Is there a new series in the works? Or is it financial issues? UniverseTF will bring you the latest!

This is some major news, if it were not a rumor. I will one of those guys wanting the series to stay. Just imagine what it will be like with the Movie line out all the time!

More ROTF Info Confirmed! *SPOILERS*

News Article by James-

Roberto Orci has given us some major new info on Revenge of The Fallen over on Don Murphy's message board:

* With many of the Decepticons being CGI, there is more freedom to add scenes in post-production. Adding extra scenes with Transformers is currently under consideration.

* As a follow-up, Roberto said one extra scene being considered was director Michael Bay's idea with Bay saying, "You and the fans are gonna love this..."

* Starscream's character will be more similar to his Generation One self.

* Roberto states that Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura's comments in Empire that there are around 40 robots was not an exaggeration.

40 robots aside confirmed! OMG! There goes my money for the next two years...

FansProject Updates Again! But not because of Prime War!

News Article by James-

Not specifically focusing on the "Prime Trailer War", FansProject have updated their site yet again with projects to be released in 2009:

- G3 Trailer

- Protector (What looks like a Classics/Henkei Hot Rod Upgrade to Rodimus Prime!)

- Classics Matrix

- Mini Megatron

No release dates for all of these sets as of yet.

Judging from when they were first shown, I think we'll get either Mini Megatron or Classics Matrix first, the G3 Trailer, then Protector, speaking of which looks like an amazing piece of kit! Can't wait to see more!

YEY! New ROTF Toys!

News Article by James-

We have some new Voyagers set for the ROTF line, courtesy of The Arker, so buckle up and enjoy the ride!

First up is a Voyager Class Bumblebee! No I'm not joking. It looks like Bumblebee has been given the Alternators treatment and has been given a Sam figurine to boot as well!What slightly disturbs me about this is that it says "Action Figure interacts with Robot"! To see that phrase and more looks at "Human Alliance", click this link:http://www.the-arker.com/news_show.asp?info_id=1975.

Second, it appears that Optimus Prime will be getting a repaint! New features include hieroglyphics!Link for more pictures given below.

Lucky old Starscream will be given a new Voyager mold! It's covered with hieroglyphics and it looks like they sorted out the cargo hold section!

To more images of him and Optimus, click this link: http://www.the-arker.com/news_show.asp?info_id=197.

Finally, a new Ironhide remold has been confirmed! The only definite thing made out from this image is new weapons, just like Bumblebee:

No release date have been confirmed for these figures.

EDIT: New pictures of Ironhide have surfaced, confirming him to be a slight repaint as well as remold! To view the images, click the link:http://www.the-arker.com/news_show.asp?info_id=1977.

Very interesting. I think I'll pass on Optimus and Bumblebee, but that Starscream and Ironhide look amazing! Can't wait to see more of them!

New Kids on the Block...

News Article by James-

Meet iGear Toys, new kid on the block. Now, it's got a lot to live up to with rivals FansProject and BestToys still in the market, but here are it's first two projects for you to look at.

iG-TF001 will be another City Commander Upgrade Upgrade Set. But, unlike it's predecessor which had a head and rockets, this one has a head, rockets, G1 Accurate Rifle and Sword! Please note that the pictures below are CGI and photo shopped:

iG-002 will be of interest for you fans of Soundwave and one particular item in the "Gear of War" weapons set. If you only want the Autoscout from the "Gear of War" Set, then this is essentially what iG-002 is with the added bonus of a comic!

iG-001 will be released in April, while iG-002 will be released in May. Thanks to TF08 for providing the pictures.

OK, so the second one, I'm not too interested in, but that CC upgrade looks awesome! The reason I didn't get the last one, was that it was £11 for a head and rockets. This one might be a bit better...

Guess Who...

News Article by James-

As predicted, FansProject have retaliated to BestToys' recent uncovering of the colours of their two trailers by giving us quick size comparison of their trailer with City Commander Trailer Set:

As you can see, it is huge compared to City Commander, but whether this means that the set will be more expensive is yet to be known. But, you may have noticed a little feature shown in the first image, seeing City Commander hooked onto the back of Optimus Prime's. Now to understand this means taking a look at the Japanese Masterforce character "Godbomber".

That is huge! If it's more expensive than CC and doesn't any extras apart from Rollar, then I've made up my mind.

Animated Samuiri Prowl and Waspinator AND WReck-Gar in-stock at BBTS!

Article By: Patrick Cuddy

The BigBadToyStore has Received Animated Deluxes Samurai Prowl and Waspinator AND Wreck-Gar!. As you may have guessed from the title! .... so I guess you will be seeing these in stores soon.... oh yay and Click here to view them at BBTS.

Sweet, glad to see things are being released quicker! But honestly these figures don't appeal to me at all. Not even Wasp, I think He looks cool and an AMAZING upgrade to his pervious model. But Just not a figure I can see myself getting. Who knows, maybe I will. But that Samurai Prowl thing is Bull! He's all fat looking and stuff. Making a new mold was soooo unnecessary. Not getting Wreck-Gar either, just don't want him, don't need him. Would MUCH rather waist my money on something like Masterpiece grimlock... Ohhh yesss....
