New Pictures of Henkei Ironhide and Galvatron!

News Article by StuntPrime35-

Two pictures each of Henkei Ironhide and Galavtron have come up. Diferences include Galvatron chrome and a yellow strip fo Ironhide in vechile mode. No chrome tyres for him though.

Ironhide is really looking good, but Galvatron on the other hand is a bit of a let down for me. I was expecting a purple tank like G1 but it seems the only thing the Japanese have done to it is chromed it out...

TFA Season 3 Characters?

News Article by Disguy4-

s250 of Seibertron.com has come at us once again, this time bringing us news of some possible Transformers Animated characters who will be making their debut in the upcoming third season. Apparently, s250 has a reputation of being correct about his accusations, so we may actually be seeing these guys. Below is the list of characters he has brought us. The list is written in "code", so you might not be able to distinguish some characters. If you want Season Three to be a surprise, then DO NOT READ:

R*da***t,female medic

B***n,very G1,more bulk

B****o**,looks like a big beetle

C*******,big rabbit ears

RP,skinny,head looks like Kup

H*****t,armada head

Sp***or,toad like thing

St***a,very BMB

********er,big G1 head,cute the “Comic Character” in the show

A****,a big difference than previous show,more details I think

Okay, MOST of these I am VERY excited about. I see they are FINALLY squeezing in Rodimus Prime. ONE name I am particularly interested in would be the name that starts with "C", and is described as having big rabbit ears. Could this possibly be Cheetor. I know that the name has one extra letter in it, but I am hoping this is a typo.

Custom Heads for G1 Black Ironhide and Green Ratchet

News Article by StuntPrime35-

Although no pictures have been released, just like the originals there are going to be custom heads for Black Ironhide and Green Ratchet. The set is listed at $24.99 (£12.99) on BBTS.

When I purchesed G1 Ratchet on Ebay, I was expexting limited articulation, but no head! If you want these figures to look good, I would seriously recommend getting this

New Animated Repaint

Article BY: Patrick Cuddy & Astrotrain52

New Animated Leader repaint pictures.

WHY, WHY, WHY!!!! hasbro you have got to be kidding me!!!!! These are without a doubt some of the two UGLYST repaints I have EVER seen!!! A green and brown ultra magnus, I thouht I've seen it all but no. Ultra magnus looks like Hasbro took a shit and rapped it in plastic. He now takes the thrown from Shadow Blade Megatron as one of the stupidest repaints ever. This, this is just sad. AND DO YOU SEE THAT PINK MEGATRON ARM THATS NEXT TO SHADOW BLADE THERE! WTF IS THAT!!!

Join our forums and in the Toy discussion the pinned poll is what is the worst animated repaint please tell us there, thanks!

Second Opinion: Astrotrain52

Shadow Blade Megatron = I would be hunting stores to find this if I didn't have the original. It's KICKA**. The Pink Megatron arm is actually the original version.

Roadbuster Ultra Magnus: Doesn't even look like Ultra Magnus OR Roadbuster. Terrible cosplay of a trigger happy G1 Autobot. WORST repaint ever.

NEW Transformers: ROTF Books

News Article by Disguy4-

A member of Seibertron.com has brought us information of new Transformers related books popping up on Amazon (Canada). The new books feature content of the upcoming sequel, "Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen." The books are due out for a May of 2009 release. There are currently no pictures, but it is said the books will include coloring activities, which means these books will be geared towards the younger fans.

This is somewhat neat news. When pictures of these children's books are released, they should have images of the new bots in the sequel, hopefully confirming some rumors going about. I would keep an eye on the Canadian Amazon if you want some pictures, because they are bound to be released soon.

C3xHobby Convention

News Article by StuntPrime35-

I have here some new pictures of figures:

- Transformers Alternity Nissan

Keep in mind this is one of the first pictures of the finished thing!

EDIT: There is a close up of the head thanks to TFormers

- Gentai Wildrider (Limited Edition Wildrider)

- Masterpiece Thundercracker

To check out the rest of the pics, click here, http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/conventions-15/japanese-c3xhobby-convention-coverage---alternity-gt-r-convoy-stuntron-wildrider-and-more-165689/

That Nissan has my name written all over it, if a name doesn't crop up, then I will need a closer look at the head to determine who it is. Masterpiece Thundercracker also looks amazing, just hope it doesn't go for £60 or something like that!

EDIT: Now that I have a look at the head, it looks like a possible Downshift from G1. I say this because there has been an Alternators Camshaft, also part of the Omnibots.

This comes with Animated Ratchet, with all his red parts now yelow, and two legends figures, Prowl and Starscream. The price is unknown, but the fact that the box states its a deluxe could possibly be $9.99. The set is to be a Target exclusive.

Wow! I am shocked that Hasbro is able to ship out yet ANOTHER repaint! Of course if it is $9.99, I would really suggest you pick it up as there are two free figures in there!

UNIVERSE UNICRON OUT IN US




in opinion
since it is a reissue im going back in time.i do think that the chest gimic misslie should be painted red to give a blast feel since he is a planet i think the minicon ports should be removed and have more of a ring than a minicon toy thats in 2002 its o8 give us a more unicron colored figure and at least they didnt change the minicon.

Generation 2 Reproduction Devastators Are Out In The Wild

News Article By PrimeReviews-


A heads up to vintage collectors - The Generation 2 Devastator, who was originally made in both orange and yellow, has been knocked off, according to These Two Listing from Yahobby.com The reproduction is easy to identify in package, as it comes in a Generation 1 Devastator gift box. Any reproduction or knock off Transformers are made without the permission of Hasbro and may not be subject to the same level of quality testing as an official
Hasbro Transformers toy.


Prime`s Opinion: Anybody Remember Sean`s(TransformersMatix) Old Review About Knock Off Devastator? I Do, And I Learned That Knock Off``s Are A Horrible Excuse Of A Transformers Figure, And Especially Devastator! If You See This Figure Somewhere,You Should Report It To Hasbro Because It Is Ilegal.

Bio and additional pictures of Universe Unicron in Package

Article By: Patrick Cuddy

New Images of Universe Unicron have appeared on ACToys.net. One of which Shows the bio of the figure. An interesting thing on the back of the box were the bio is located you see that it says Armada Series, like the classics series or the animated seri

es, there may even be a Cybertron series. 

I like how they gave him 10 on about everything and even a little more on the rest, makes him ultra bad A$$!Cool, im happy there re-releasing this guy. The bio is very well done, even though it was used for Unicron in the Ultimate Guide it's still a good bio. The whole Universe/ classics takeing  or/animated or /armada thing is still really confuesing me. especially when there justthe same figure and putting it in a new box. Which in some cases is just fine. This is the same thing that the Last Universe line did so it's not totally weird. I just don't see why they just can't call in Universe or 2.0 or something. It would just make things simple-er. well thats enough of me rambling. Cool stuff were gonna get here, you don't want to miss out.

Seacons and Nightbeat up for Pre-Order

News Article by StuntPrime35-

Club members can buy Nightbeat for $48 and the Seacons for $88. Non member prices are $88 and $159 respectively, but the extra $40 buy you a 1 year club

This isn't for me. I have got Nightbeat's original mold, (Energon Hot Shot) and the Seacons are just way overly priced like so many other TFCC exclusives. But... so many other people will throw away their money on these guys, so if your one of them, enjoy.



Source- Unicron

Second Opinion: Astrotrain52

Eh...I'm with StuntPrime, not for me. I also have Energon Hot Shot, it's not that great. Paying what Nightbeat is being asked for is insane for what I believe is a boring toy. As for the Seacons, WAAAAYYY too much money for G1 Styled Figures. Yeah, I know it's G1 styled, but they're still pretty expensive. I'm skipping on both.

New Pic of Henkei Silverbolt

Cybertron board member Pascal has posted new photos of Henkei Class Silverbolt

Slegos Opinion:

Henkei= Chromed up Classics for 10 bucks more. Just a bit of highlights in chrome? Oh please, chrome is'nt worth the money... the 2 figures worth it are Henkei Megatron and Astrotrain, the others are only worth getting if you cannot find the others. Pass on this figure automatically, I don't like the robot mould, alt. mode, or transformation, so why would I purchace either the original or a chromed up version for even more money? I wouldnt, its stupid..... bad figure, bad repaint
