Masterpiece Riggorus is yellow MP-56 Trailbreaker redeco with a retooled head, inspired by the Diaclone No.5 Car Robot Hilux 4WD yellow variant. We have clear images of packaging and robot mode.
The packaging information states that Riggorus is a Decepticon medic. It comes with a force field effect and a double-missile accessory, but he doesn’t have any Decepticon insignia on it or additional sticker.

TFNation makes two more guest announcements: voice actors Gregg Berger and David Kaye.
Berger has been the voice of Grimlock for many an iteration of the Transformers, be it the original 1980s cartoon, the more recent Machinima series Power of the Primes, or some of the bigger videogames between those two, such as Devastation and Fall of Cybertron.
Kaye voiced the incredible Predacon leader, Megatron, during the Beast Wars and follow-up saga Beast Machines. When the Transformers moved into its Unicron Trilogy phase, Kaye continued his evil streak, voicing the big-bads Megatron and Galvatron in the Armada, Energon and Cybertron series.
Stay tuned to the 2005 boards and the TFNation blog for more details as they are revealed.

Via Mattel Turkey website we have our first official image of the new Hot Wheels Skate Transformers Bumblebee.
We got our first official images of these Transformers-themed finger skateboards with a pair of finger sneakers some days ago, but we only got images of the Decepticons (Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave) skateboards. We finally have an HQ image of our first Autobot skateboard featuring Bumblebee. We can bet there’s an Optimus Prime skateboard, with a third Autobot character to be revealed.
See the new image after the jump, including and HQ pic of Megatron skateboard, after the break. What do you think of this Mattel x Hasbro collaboration? Sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Hasbro Transformers designer Mark Maher has taken to his Instagram to spill the behind the scenes details on the Legacy United Doom ‘n Destruction Collection!
“The Decepticon Doom N’ Destruction is here, ready to beat down all and any Autobot Wreckers who dare to take back the sacred ancient artifact known as Malleus Minotaurus. Which team will get to wield the power of Solus Prime’s blacksmith helper? Or perhaps, Mister Minotaurus’s awakening will unleash the power of the primes and command his own army!
.
So as many of you already know, the mayhem attack squad is a great answer to the Autobot Wreckers crew. Quite the delictable energon consuming crew with the likes of Chopshop and Barrage! But if your looking for firepower and muscle look no further then Windsweeper with his lil target master boys Cleansweep and Ozone, obviously the muscle would be Breakdown.
Solid squad here to cause some real destruction on your collection shelf.
.
I took a stab at designing the logo based off the logo that was featured in the comic book. I even sketched out the hydra esk logo style for the packaging. Clearly I still wanted the decepticon badge to be prevalent on these guys to help complete other collections we’ve started. I put in alot of work alongside my Takara family, but dont get it twisted, Takara works harder and puts in more passion and hours then anybody. Their dedication and skill set are as you know legendary status and they are paladins.
.
There is alot of accessories and value jammed into these 2pks. You know Im a stickler for trying to complete sets, so I promise I will continue to push! My shelfs need that completed squad just as much as yours do coo coo ca choo!”

Thanks to 2005 Boards user bagofshhh for sharing in our boards photographic proof of our first US sighting of the new Transformers Studio Series 86 Blaster & Eject at US retail.
This figure is a new redeco of the Kingdom/Legacy Voyager Blaster & Eject toy, now featuring brighter red plastic and new cartoon-accurate paint apps and without clear plastic parts. Several copies were found at Santa Rosa Target in California, but they were street dated for March 31.
