Netflix’s well-received series The Toys That Made Us has just shared the date of the premiere of their next episodes: May, 25th on Netflix.

This awesome documentary series really impressed fans of different popular franchises with the first 4 episodes of their first season, covering Star Wars, Barbie, He-Man and G.I Joe. Fans and collectors were looking forward for the next episodes, and now you can finally start getting ready for: Lego. Hello Kitty, Star Trek, and Transformers, of course.

31 days to go! What are your expectations for the Transformers episode? What do you think we will see? Let us know your expectation at the 2005 Boards!

Machinima have added a trailer for their Power of the Primes web animation series. The series, which is set to be the concluding part of the Prime Wars trilogy, picks up where Titans Return left off and is set to feature a desperate race to find the requiem blaster. The trailer features several scenes in a mechanical jungle that seems to be taken straight out of the Megaman games, and gives us our first look at the Dinobots in action in this series – the first time all five have been united in animation since 1986 – and the first time ever they have been united in the combiner sense ever! Yes, we get to see a bit of Volcanicus in action, as well as some scenes of him squaring off with Predaking. The trailer is topped off by our first impression of the new, Ron Perlman voiced Optimus Primal, and we’re happy to report that Ron Perlman’s voice is not too far removed from Gary Chalk’s, although the delivery is a bit stiff.

The series is premiering on May 1st, and will be going out on Go90 for those in the US. Unfortunately, fans in the rest of the world are once again having to make do with Tumblr, a platform not really optimized for enjoying a web animated series.

Check out the trailer below:

Via Simon Chan in the Hobbymizer Hong Kong Facebook group, we have new images of Takara Tomy Power Of The Primes Predaking Images From Figure Oh! Magazine.

Predaking is the star of the magazine this month with 6 pages dedicated to the massive G1 Predacon combiner. We have a double-page image showing Predaking in a pose similar to his appearance in the “Call Of The Primitives” episode. We also get individual images of all the Predacons in both modes, and the combination sequence. We finally have a side-by-side comparison pic next to Titan Class Combiner Wars Devastator, and we can see they are the same size. There’s an extensive article in Japanese, showing interesting pictures of the early sketches and prototypes.

You can check out the mirrored images after the break, and then sound off your impressions at the 2005 Boards!

We have entered Day-2 at CinemaCon 2018 and Paramount Pictures has already generated a lot of positive buzz even before their official presentation tomorrow.

Over the last couple of months, we heard only from Hasbro regarding their new 5-Year Agreement with Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon (both owned by Viacom). Paramount CEO Jim Gianopulos saw CinemaCon as a good opportunity to finally break the ice. Speaking to LA Times, Mr. Gianopulos stated the following:

In May, [Jim Gianopulos] flew to the Pawtucket, R.I., offices of Hasbro, the toy and game company behind such Paramount franchises as “Transformers” and “G.I. Joe.” Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner wanted to accelerate his company’s growth in the film business and have a greater creative voice in the films based on its toy and game properties.

The companies quickly struck an exclusive five-year production and financing deal. Projects include a G.I. Joe reboot, as well as movies based on more obscure Hasbro properties such as M.A.S.K. and Micronauts. Goldner said he expects Hasbro to make two live-action movies and one animated film a year with Paramount.

LA Times did not forget to grab a quote from Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner as well:

“Literally, he’s a database of what works and what doesn’t work in movies,” Goldner said. “Jim exudes a level of optimism and an understanding of the business, and a positive attitude that’s very infectious.”

With the above quotes, we now have a better understanding of the new Hasbro-Paramount Agreement which followed the disagreement between China’s HuaHua Media and Paramount. Thanks to all the revealed info we have so far, staff members at TFW2005 mapped out the roadmap. You can check it out, after the jump. Let us in on your thoughts on the thread associated with this news post.

Machinima’s new series, Power Of The Primes, is on the way to its premiere this Tuesday, May 1st. Machinima is showing off pieces of a Power Of The Primes Teaser Poster.

This poster is surfacing by pieces via Machinima’s Instagram account. Our first part was revealed via voice actor Frank Todaro, who also confirmed that Dinobot Sludge will be on the new series. After that, 5 more pieces have been revealed (from what seems to be 9 parts). A new part was shared by Jason Marchona, who voices Megatron on Machinima’s series. Of course, this piece shows part of Megatron’s body.

We have half of the poster so far, and we can identify Dinobots Sludge, Snarl and Slag, Overlord, Megatron, and Predacon Razorclaw (Predaking‘s chest may be a good guess, too). We hope the poster will be completed by this weekend before Power Of The Primes premiere, and maybe we could catch a glimpse of more new characters.

You can check out all available pieces, including a composed image of the poster so far after the jump. Let us know your impressions at the 2005 Boards!

Thanks to 2005 Boards member prime roller, we can report that Transformers: Movie Edition Tiny Turbo Changers Series 3 has been found at Taiwan retail.

This is the most recent series of Tiny Turbo Changers figures and so far, it has been spotted only in Thailand and Canada. Now we finally have our third sighting over the world. Wave 3 blind-bags were now found at Carrefour, Taiwan for 99 Taiwanese Dollars ($3.34 approximately).

While the first 2 series contained The Last Knight characters, this wave consists of characters from other previous live-action movies. This wave contains: Ratchet, Slug, Lockdown, Sentinel Prime, Bumblebee, Dino, Ironhide, Optimus Prime, Starscream, Drift and Barricade.

Happy hunting for all fans in Taiwan!
