BOTCON 2010 in Orlando FL.

Article By: Patrick Cuddy

Botcon next year is in the hot and humid Orlando Flordia, not to mention right in the middle of said hot and humid season. June 24-27th is when the convention takes place. What we'll see there is always unknown and .... "top secret" but im expecting a lot of talk about War for Cybertron the game and toyline. As well as talk or realse of the new classics series we heard about months ago. Figures such as Rhinox or Thundercracker.

Flordia....really Flordia.... Thats like the opposite side of the country for me.... BUT my parents are actually excited (I think) of going to Orlando so...theres a chance I may show up. But if not Rimfyre will definately be there.

New ROTF Images

Article By Destron23

TF08 has released a few new pictures of upcomming toys in the line. They include an in package Arcee, Swerve and a traditional constructicon repaint of Mixmaster.
I'm only going to comment on Mixmaster. He looks so awesome! I've been wanting him since we've seen pictures of the first Mixmaster. Sigh.... I guess I'll have to find a way to get 2 versions of each constructicon.

Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen wave 3 figures released in the US

News Article By Disguy4-

dmc2008 of TFW2005 has found the latest wave of ROTF figures at his local Target (located in Baltimore) and was able to add Mudflap to his collection Other figures included in this wave of figures are Canon Bumblebee, Barricade, and Ravage. Keep an eye out at your local toy stores for the latest batch of Revenge of the Fallen figures!

This is just... wow. The third wave is amazing, I'm really looking forward to Mudflap and DEFINITELY Ravage. It is also a "wow" moment because the third wave of figures is already being released but I'm still having trouble finding a figure from the first wave (SIDESWIPE >:/ )

Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen Wheelie Clip in English!

News Article By Disguy4-

A clip from the upcoming sequel had previously been released, but the clip was in German. Recently, a japanese website known as CinemaToday.jp has posted the same video clip, but this version is in English with Japanese subtitles. Featured in the clip are Sam, Mikaela, and Wheelie.

You may view the video clip by clicking here.

This is SICK... You don't have to worry about seeing any spoilers or anything because hardly anything happens that ruins the story for you. Wheelie seems like a pretty awesome character. He's pretty funny and I'm diggin how small he is and how he skates with the wheels on his feet. Oh, and he looks a lot more awesome in the movie than his figure is.

New Human Alliance Figures reveled!!!

Article By: Patrick Cuddy

The website The-Arker has posted Images of new Revege of the fallen Human Alliance Figures! These Include Autobot Skids with Makila and Sideswipe with Sergeant Epps. Both are approxemently voyager sized and come with a human figure that can sit inside the alt mode of the figure.

Bios:

Autobot Skids likes to think of himself as pretty capable, but the fact is Mikaela is a better driver than he is. With her behind the wheel, and him concentrating on squeezing every last bit of power out of his engine, even the fastest, most powerful Decepticons have trouble keeping up

When Sideswipe arrived on Earth, he was a raw, untrained fighter, used to battling alone and outnumbered. He was teamed with Epps so the tech sargeant could whif him into shape as an effective member of the strike team led by Ironhide. The two have become good friends. In combat, Epps' combat-hardened instincts direct the speed and cunning of Sideswipe with devastating effectiveness.

Sweet, some of these look pretty decent, but also chunky. Can't wait to see a review on these so I can make my mind.

Endgame Part 2 Now Online!

Article By Destron23

The final episode of animated has now aired. Many unansered questions remain, but hopefully Animated will have some news at Botcon.

Sigh.... So many questions unanswered. Like how Sari's origins are linked to the nemesis when the nemesis itself went to the moon in present time. Ratchet and Arcee's reunion should have been played up more. Also we never really get to find out what happens to Ultra Magnus, and WHERE the heck does Optimus get the MATRIX!!!! I'm also a bit dissapointed we never got to see team Charr and Rodimus Prime's crew again. Also, there is still no name for the female Starscream. It was also kind of sad to see Starscream die, if anyone should have done it, it should have been Megatron. Too bad Prowl didn't mention anything about Yoketron's final words to Jazz. Really wish we had another season.

One thing I did like though, was that Megatron finally called Optimus by his name. Also, Omega Supreme finally gets the recognition he deserves.

Transformers Endgame Part 1 Now Online!

Article by Destron23

In this episode, the decepticons prepare to bring their master plan to fruition, while the earth bound autobots attempts to stop the evil doers, all in this two part series finale.

Great Episode! Loved Lugnut supreme and Lugnut's conflict with Shockwave. Loved to see some of Prime's past tied up, I really enjoy how they met Prowl. Also, I love the Cybertron Reference with Optimus' Jet pack, he even has the two guns on it! Hope we get to see more female Starscream, and find out her name!

Ironically, this episode didn't seem as dramatic as a series finale should be.

ROTF Combining Devastator! With individual Robot Modes!

News Article By: TACToy Wizard.net has shown us new images of ROTF EZ collection DX Devastator. These are the Japanese Versions of the legends. Its amazing that the large versions with bot modes dont combine, yet a tiny version that has great modes for each bot can. This dev's looks really sweet! Also keep in mind that scrappers and rampages bot mode pics has been swapped.

Tac's opinion: This is awesome. If this doesn't go out anywhere but to japan, i will order one, not matter if its $100! If the big ones do combine and have bot modes, then i'll still get this. That head looks nicely sculpted. Also this proves the 7th constructicon Overload! (the red truck thing).

Intrestingly enough, Flareup sounds like fairlady Z from Botcon! RATRAP (or Rattletrap according to the credits)!!!!!!!! Shockwave's true colours!!!! Lugnut's Jealousy!!!! Naming of Metroplex and Fortress Maximus!!!! Tracks! And Macaddam's oil house! Can't wait for Endgame, though I'm terribly dissappointed animated's going to end.

New Aniamted Designs

Article By Destron23

S250 of tfw2005, has uploaded a sneak peak at some more animated designs. They are of Grandus's alt-mode and Flareup. Grandus was hinted to appear in the show, but Flareup is a complete surprise. If all info is correct, Grandus is schedueled to appear in episode 39, and Flareup in episode 38 (next week).

They look really good! I'm surprised Grandus will transform in the show, considering how he's basically a platform. I'm really surprised Flareup will be in. I wonder if the reason she's showing up for is because she appeared in the Bee in the city script read at Botcon 2008. Overall, can't wait to see them!

News Article by James-

- The previously known Protector Upgrade Set (Classics Hot Rod to Rodimus Prime)

- Their first ever fully functional figure, Defender (aka Springer)

- Their second figure, Collector (aka Wreck-Gar)

- Their third figure, ??? (Broadside)

To see the other projects and the whole interview, click the link:http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/seibertron-exclusive-sit-down-interview-with-fansproject-pictures-included/15700/.

The only given release dates were tentative; Universe Classics Superion Limb Set and Protector Upgrade Set for June and "end of the year" respectively, while Springer and Wreck-Gar should see the light in the first quarter of 2010. Also to be note dis that Min-Megs has been canceled

One word describes my excitement for some of these... AWESOME!!!

Human Error Part 2 Online

Article By Destron23

The new animated episode is out, recaping the events in the previous episode. The one major part of this episode, is that we see many cameos!

This episode was great! Let's see who we've had for cameos: Scrapper, Dinobots, White Soundwave, Soundblaster, Laserbeak, Ratbat and Wreck-Gar! It was very nice to see the return of these guys! Snarl's story was hillarious! He betrayed the Dinobots to live as a pet for Scrapper, and Scrapper was the one to nae him Snarl, but he was going to name him Slag! I guess this means that only Swoop is without a name in this show, and I wish him and Snarl would talk for once! I also wonder where the other Constructicons may be, it seems that Scrapper was by himself for quite some time.

Device Label Revealed!

News Article by James-

First off, I wish to apologise on how we have not been keeping "updating". School hits hard man.

So, following in the money-destroying footsteps of the way over-priced Chrono Label, Device Label sees real working computer devices! Characters include a proper looking version of G1 Blaster who turns into a USB Hub ($59.99), Beast Wars Dinobot (dino mode only) and G1 Overkill who turn into laser mice (both $59.99), and finally G1 Ravage and Beast Wars Tigatron (tiger mode only) who turn into 2GB USB Sticks (both $42.99). All of these pre-orders are available on BBTS where you can also see the other concept images.

Man that Blaster is looking pretty good for me. If he goes up to Deluxe size, I'm sold. Getting a proper sized Overkill looks also nice, but seriously, these are quite overpriced. There's Japan for you.

Human Error Part 1 Online!

Article By Destron23

The new TFA episode is up! This episode is a two parter featuring the return of Sari and Soundwave, and is set on Christmas day! Hurry and check out this week's new episode!

This was a very good episode! Not as good as Predacons Rising, but maybe my opinion will change once we've seen part 2. I like all the human forms except for Bulkhead's. When we started seeing all the decepticons and Cybertron closing in on Earth, I thought the whole show had gone INSANE! Also we get to see Marty Isenberg and Cancer in Burger Bot, and we get to see a white music label/ shattered glass Soundwave! And we finally get to see the return of Soundwave and his two minions, Ratbat and Laserbeak! And when we saw Optimus's red eye at the end, I thought that this could be a way to introduce Nemesis Prime to the series if the writers wanted to.

Two and a Half Minutes of ROTF!

News Article by: TransformerAreCool and Patrick Cuddy

*Exclusive* Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Footage from Bay Films/Michael Bay Dot Com on Vimeo.

Michael Bay Dot Com has put up a 2.5 minute video showing ROTF scenes. Mainly a long Bumblebee scene and then LOTS of ACTION! View the video here http://www.michaelbay.com OR direct link *Exclusive* Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Footage on Vimeo.
It show Devastator, Chromia, Sideways, Blackout, Optimus Prime, Megatron, Fallen, Jetfire (funny), Twins, Wheelie (seen above) and a bunch of other stuff that proves the robots are ACTING a LOT better. .

TAC's Opinion: Holy crud. I fainted. I cannot wait for the move. The last bit you can see the acrobatic Sideswipe. NICE.

Transformers Aniamted: Predacons Rising Online

Article By Destron23

The new aniamted episode is online for those of you who haven't catched it on Cartoon Network. This episode in particular was written by Bob Forward and Laryy DiTillio, the writers for Beast Wars! They do an excellent job, and MANY hommages are made in this episode.

Greatest Episode of Animated thus far!

Wow! Blackarachnia under the mask! Wish she would have put it back on though because I really enjoy her Beast Wars look. I wish we could see her again, though I doubt it. I would like to see how she interacts with the other established Decepticons and how she was accepted into Megatron's team.

Again, aniamted toys are horrible with scale! That Waspinator in the show was almost twice the size of Blackarachnia, and the toy is smaller than Bumblebee!

Nice to see Prowl kept his armour!

I was also expecting us to see a flashback of how Optimus got out of the Elite Guard.

Sentinel's reaction was cruel to Blackarachnia. You can definetly see contrasts between how Optimus met Blackarachnia and how Sentinel did. Optimus seemed to care for BA, and said he would help her, whereas Sentinel wanted to kill her!

Does Optimus saying that Sentinel's a good leader, lead to foreshadowig? I would hate to see a Sentinel Magnus instead of a Rodimus Magnus or Optimus Magnus. I really don't think he's suited to lead the Autobots, especially with his close minded actions to others like BA.

Nice to see the Dinobots weren't slaged by the Constructicons. And Jetstorm and Jetfire took them down pretty easily.

I liked the Wasp/ Waspinator apology seen. This Waspinator seems a lot more monstrous and confident then our last Waspinator from Beast Wars. I wish he was smaller though, and his colours are much more vibrant in the show. I wish he had kept his Wap voice, now it just sounds like Tom Kenny was immitating a monster. Loved the ending and how he was able to reconstruct himself like in Beast Wars. Waspinator has plans!

And that part with Wasp trapped in the transwarp pod, was very disturbing. Horrific scream of madness! That's one of the good thing about season 3, the darkness of it all while still keeping the show's primary tone.

To further the darkness of S3, each episode after transwarped has been featured at night.

Great ending! Blackarachnia meets the Maximals! Too bad there's no such animal as Silverbolt's fuzor mode.

Let's see from what we saw on Wyatt's collage, we still need to see Cancer, Powell, popsicle and Laserbeak.

Article By Destron23

I'm not sure if these guys are worth picking up. I like Barricade's claw-light thingies but that's pretty much the only difference between him and the original, even the face is the same, and it's not coloured in premium colours. While Smokescreen's colours look cool, I wasn't a fan of the Jazz mold and we don't even know if he has a new head.

Article by Destron23

TF08 has released more images of the new Megatron, confirmed to be a voyager. The gallery of images can be viewed by clicking here.

Is it just me, or does the voyager Megatron look a million times better than the leader? I mean he has a better robot mode, normal arms, and has an even better tank mode! I will definetly be picking up both, but this one is my favourite. I bet the leader looks the way he does is ecause the toy is sacrificed for the gimmick. The one thing that I don't like about this Megaton is that his lips are coloured orange which is pretty random. Is it just me, or does his tank mode look a little like TFA Blitzwing's tank mode?

FansProject have finally updated their site again, this time highlighting the soon to be released TFCon Exclusive, Powered Commander, and G3 Trailer. Powered Commander has been slightly changed since the prototype and now sports rocket launchers and BFG tips. The G3 Trailer is also shown off with what appears to be a completed Rollar and a good look at the weapons to come with the Trailer which at the moment are all chrome. Click Here for more of Powered Commander, Here for more of G3 Trailer, and Here for the weapons set. Still no price or release date for the G3 Trailer.

AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! On the other hand, that Powered Convoy looks good, although even if it was mass retailed, I still wouldn't get it.

Botcon Thunderclash

Article By Destron23

Botcon.com has released photos of their upcomming figure Thunderclash. More images can be viewed here.

Here's his quote: "Where all others fail, I stand able to succeed."

Here's his bio: "A decisive leader who is never afraid to take action, he commands the instant respect and loyalty of every soldier he takes under his wings. With a razor sharp mind, and a reputation for rescuing troops under his command from disastrous situations, Thunderclash is considered an ideal mentor to initiate new recruits into the Autobot ranks."

The botcon figures seem to be getting a bit better. Thunderclash looks really nice, and has an appropriate repaint. You would think theses colours should never be seen together, but for some reason I enjoy them. Great work Botcon officials!

New ROTF Deluxe Brawl Repaint

News Article By Disguy4-

A member of the TFW2005 boards going by the name of "Chinaseller" has posted new images of a previously unknown repaint of the 2007 Movie Deluxe Brawl (or as the film refers to him, Devastator...) figure. The figure is simply a repaint and bears a striking resemblance to the Deep Desert Brawl repaints of the 2007 Movie Leader Class and FAB Brawl figures. The images we have received are ONLY of the vehicle mode, but I am sure we will soon be receiving images of what this figure will look like in his robot mode. To view the rest of the photos, click here.

Honestly, I could care less about this... As a matter of fact, I'm sure not too many people care about this. In My opinion, the 2007 Movie Deluxe Brawl was a bad figure. The pegs in his arm didn't correctly connect to the sides of his torso, he didn't have much play value, and he just felt cheap overall. I'm sure a new color scheme couldn't make this figure any better. If you feel the need to get one version of Brawl from the 2007 movie, stick with the Leader class figure, he's great.

iGear-004B Update!

News Article by James-

Original Video - More videos at TinyPic

It what has only been achieved with major sites such as TF08 and The Arker, iGear have hit the news for the third time this week with an update on iGear-004B, Masterpiece Optimus Prime Trailer. Although not necessarily in the full battle, this trailer IS in the current "Prime Trailer War" and will have to be VERY good if it is to get any sales, especially as this isn't even the first one! With no price tag or release date at the moment, iGear-004B will come with iGear-004A (Masterpiece Rollar). To see the other images, click the link: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/generation-1-1/igear-ig-tf004b-update-167178/.

I must admit, one day, I would like to get some Masterpiece figures. But not now, so this is useless news.

Alpha Trion, What is Your Job?

News Article by James-
Derrick.J.Wyatt has provided a little background to Animated Alpha Trion, you may have noticed him near the end of "Transwarped" in the Council chamber next to Magnus. Wyatt states:
"Alpha Trion is head of all of the civilian guilds that make up the non military portion of the Autobot High Council. I guess this sort of makes him like a "vice-Magnus.""

Um, fine. Not much of an opinion you can say about this can you.

iGear-002 Isn't Just an Auto-Scout...

News Article by James-

Now I was among quite a few saying that iGear doing an Auto-Scout was a waste of time as it was coming out in the "Gear of War" set from TFC. Not anymore. iGear have released some new images revealing not one, not two, but three other things coming with the Auto-Scout! They are:
- Kremzeek (as pictured (final will be yellow))
- Energon Cubes
- The crystal that sent the Auto-Scout to it's doom
But, there is a catch to this as not everything is in the same box. If you get the "Blue" version (box modelled after G1 Soundwave) you get the Auto-Scout, an original comic, THREE crystals, three Energon Cubes and a tape cartridge. If you get the "Black" version (box modelled after Soundblaster) you get the same things, except the Energon Cubes are replaced by two Kremzeek models. Both sets are $19.99. If you want to see the other four images, click the link: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/other-news-20/new-images-of-igear-toys-auto-scout-accessories-167162/.

UPDATE: iGear-001 has now been updated with some new stuff! The price of the set still hasn't arisen, but it would have probably been bumped up by the addition of:

- Animated Ultra Magnus Classics Hammer

- Wrecker's Flag The colours are not final.

I was thinking 19.99 was a bit much for a cassette! I still won't be getting it, but if I had to get one, it would be the "Black" version simply because a Kremzeek figure is very expensive these days.

SPOILERS: Transformers Animated Five Servos of Doom Leaked Online

Article By Destron23

As we had Where Is Thy Sting leaked, we now get a leaked Five Servos of Doom. This episode includes many past characters, a couple new ones, a character's past and a fan favourite voice actor.

One of the most AWESOME episodes ever! We finally see a bit of Prowl's past, and an awesome one at that, wasn't his ninja master supposed to be Dai Atals though? George Takei as Yoketron was awesome! Glad to see that Swindle and Blitzwing are still alive! I wonder if Sari's protoform came fromthe ninja HQ? We now the know the fate of the Magnus Hammer (I'm guessing that hammer goes to every new Magnus). And dramatic foreshadowing of Prowl's death when Yoketron says: not to sacrifice a piece of the future for the past, and that Prowl would understand when his time comes. Also, does this mean Prowl will ware the armor for the rest of the season?

Also, I don't think this Warpath would be a Warpath to shout BOW! KABOOM! ZANG! David Kaye's Warpath sounds a lot like Kaye's Sesshomaru to me.

Also, no Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Ratchet, Sari or Sumdac. And the only seeker left is the female Starscrem, where could she be hiding?

Revenge of The Fallen In Package Images: Megatron, Skids and Chromia

Article By Destron23

TF08 released some in package images of Megatron, Skids and Chromia. It is now certain that the Blue motorbike is indeed Chromia.

They look really nice in package and Chromia looks much nicer than what we've seen in previous pictures. And if I'm not mistaken, this is the first time we've seen in package pictures of Chromia and Skids.

SPOILER! Where Is Thy Sting Leaked Online

Article By Destron23

Yesterday, Where Is Thy Sting (schedueled for Saturday on Cartoon Network) was leaked online. The episode features Wasp, and we see the Jet Twins in this episode.

SPOILERS!!!!

I really enjoyed the episode! Much better than Three's A Crowd. I like the quiproquo between Wasp and Bumblebee, but it took a bit too long. Bulkhead's squeeks and bus head were funny! I'm really dissapointed with Jetstorm and Jetfire's voices. What they did was cool, I still find them really neat, but why must they be Russian? I could see it for Strika, but not for them, now I can just imagine the jet twins saying "hoopla!" I really enjoyed Ratchet's reaction to the combined Safeguard. It was also nice to see Jazz and Sentinel, and I liked it when they referenced the comic book. I also liked the rainy setting of the show. My presumptions were correct in thinking Wasp wouldn't upgrade to Waspinator in this episode. And I loved Shockwave in the episode, being ever the logical being by taking matters into his own hands when he couldn't reach Megs. And because of Shockwave, we get our Awesome cliffhanger. Curious though, when Ironhide asks Ultra Magnus who attacked him, Ultra Magnus says Shockwave. I wonder if this will be dramatic irony, because we know Longarm is Shockwave, but do the autobots know this? Of course they know Longarm's a traitor, but they don't know that he had the Shockwave alter ego, they might think it was a random Decepticon who attacked Ultra Magnus.

LOL: Where's your hammer?

Botcon Flak

Article By Destron23

Botcon.com has revealed pictures of Botcon's new box set figure: Flak. He is a repaint and has a remolded head from Cybertron Defense Scattorshot. More images can be seen here.

Here's his motto:
"Always be prepared. If you can be lucky, do that, too."

Here's his bio:
An experienced 'alien fighter' who forged his career in the Cybertronian Revolution, Flak is a fearsome opponent. Space pirates, mutants, transorganics... Flak has fought them all, first as a security officer, then as an explorer, and finally as a shock trooper under Thunderclash's command. Off the battlefield, combat doesn't interest him; it is his job, he does it when needed and he does it well.

Other than Skyquake and Leozack, I really enjoy the look of this guy! He must be the best Autobot in the set thus far. Very nice use of the mold, and how fitting that he's in the Elite Guard, the mold was originally used for the Cybertron Defense Force. LOL, I guess Flak stole his motto from Landshark. The colours are really basic, but for some reason, I really like them. The red and green stand out in a good way. I also really like the head sculpt, it reminds me of something that would come out of Armada.

NEW Pictures of Animated Activators Soundwave and Fireblast Grimlock

Article By Destron23

TFW2005, has received some official Hasbro pictures of the Activatots class Soundwave and a new figure, Fireblast Grimlock. More pictures of Soundwave can be seen here, and more images of Fireblast Grimlock can be seen here.

These guys looks AWESOME! Maybe we'll get more toys in Animated afterall. Fireblast Grimlock's paint scheme's much nicer than Golfire, and his paint scheme reminds me of R.I.D Bruticus. Too bad the paint scheme isn't on the voyager. Soundwave looks spectacular! His paint's the proper shade of blue, and although his backpack is big, his mold looks spot on to the show, he even has the proper chest decal, the play buttons abdomen, and the relatively skinny legs, as opposed to the big clown feet. Too bad he isn't deluxe or voyager scale.

The Fate of Mr. Blurr...

News Article by James-

In "Transwarped" last week, you may remember Blurr getting crushed between two walls by none other than Shockwave (something which would have been gladly appreciated in G1). But what everyone wanted to know was whether he was dead or not. Some said that he was dead, he got crushed into a cube, end of. But some others (including me) argued that he could have survived, Beast Wars Waspinator did, so why not him? Well, Derrick.J.Wyatt has once again stepped into the line of fire to put an end to this war.

Take a look at this box:

Notice the spark, which Derrick says, is still beating. What your looking at here is the original animated model of "cube" Blurr. Derrick claims that he has no idea what has happened, it just depends whether the incinerator was switched on when Cliffjumper disposed of him.

Well, there's my brother happy again!
