Transformers: War For Cybertron 2 is coming next year says Hasbro. Meanwhile behind the scenes, Alex Irvine the author of Transformers: Exodus (prequel novel to Transformers: War For Cybertron) is currently working on Transformers: Exodus 2. Although the official title of the book is still a mystery, it is said that the title will contain the word “Prime”.
Unicron.com had the privilege of interviewing Mr. Irvine and he had this to say…
“I don’t want to say too much about it yet, but it does pick up where Exodus left off. And readers of this book will learn some stuff about the 13, but the book stays focused on OP and Megatron(mostly)I have an idea for a book about the 13. Maybe someday…”

TFW2005 Boards Member SarahMobius told us that there was a preview of New York Toy Fair 2011 showing Transformers: Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime and Bumblebee 3D Robo Power Cine-Masks.
Take a look at the video here : Today Show – Parenting.
For those who read our Nuremberg Toy Fair 2011 article may have seen the info regarding two masks.
Translated from German using Google Translator, the official description is as follows…
“With the Transformers masks kids can become Bumblebee or Optimus Prime. The movable visor enables the vision modes “Normal” and “Fight”. The masks have individually adjustable fit.”
SarahMobius’ finding clearly explained what this “visor” is all about. It’s Transformers Movie Designed 3D Glasses to enjoy the movie in 3D (RealD).
You will also receive a pair of Anaglyph 3D glasses (Red/Blue 3D) with a poster as a free give-away.
Take your memory to 10-05-2010. We now know what “Robo Power” is about, completing the mystery of “Cyberverse“, “Mechtech” and “Robo Power” (Legends Class Playsets, Movie 3 Gimmick and 3D Glasses respectively).
Oh, in case you are wondering whether you can eat popcorn and drink soda in the theater wearing a Cine-Mask? Yes, you can… they are designed specifically that way.
Take a moment to imagine your local theater. [Read more…]
Our own Deceptigtar brings us a complete pictorial review for Dark of the Moon Deluxe Skids. Some things he had to say on the figure:
This is a new mold for Skids. He is actually about the same size in vehicle mold as his ROTF counterpart. There are some noticable difference on the car though as you can see. Also its kind of a reverse as he his mostly black with some green.Click above to view all images and keep on reading the review. [Read more…]

Here’s some tantalising news for you. Coming exclusively to Japan this July is something called “UA-01 Jetwing Optimus Prime”. Priced at around 12,000 yen, it is a leader class figure. The solicitation, Red leader of our sponsors Kapow Toys reports, pictures Optimus Prime wearing his Jetfire armor, but at this time there is no picture of the actual toy. Could this be the spiritual successor of the canceled Unite for the Universe Jetpower Optimus Prime, only redone as a much larger toy? All we know for certain right now is the price, the fact it is Leader class, and the fact it is only coming out in Japan right now. There is also no picture available right now.[/b] [Read more…]

Hasbro was kind enough to allow us to ask a question to the creators of the Transformers Prime series a bit ago, and today they sent back their response. Our question was, thanks to input from you guys…
2 main characters have non-speaking communication methods. Bumblebee who communicates with Raf, and Soundwave who repeats things back. What was the creative process which lead to that; could these elements change in future episodes?Continue reading the full story to see their answer! [Read more…]

Update: Official toy synopsis:
With the upcoming Transformers: Dark of the Moon movie, one of the most iconic characters in the Transformers lore will capture the spotlight as his heroic story becomes the focus of the first-ever 3D Transformers movie. Now, an action figure befitting such an icon will be available with the new Transformers Mechtech Ultimate Optimus Prime action figure. The figure includes the Autobot leader’s classic trailer that doubles as a weapons arsenal and is an integral part of the figure’s converting play pattern. The Mechtech Ultimate Optimus Prime figure features three modes of conversion – vehicle, robot, and robot with “mech suit.” The trailer, which serves as a weapons depot and command center, also converts into a “mech suit” that Optimus Prime shows off when it’s time to rumble. Featuring lights, launching projectiles, electronic battle sounds and Optimus Prime phrases, this is the must-have item for kids and fans alike. [Read more…]
