We have quite a nice surprise to share with you tonight. The highly anticipated Transformers Generations HasLab Deathsaurus has started to be delivered in Taiwan, and we can share for you our first in-package images of this figure.

Lucky fans in Taiwan has started to get their copies and, to our surprise, Deathsaurus’ box is bigger than Victory Saber’s box. We have a clear look at the figure inside the box, extra pics of the packaging and a group shot of all four Transformers Victory Micromasters together in alt mode.

Stay tuned with this space for more updates, since we may get our first in-hand images in the next hours. Click on the bar to see the mirrored images attached to this news post, and then join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Let’s say go!

Now it’s our turn! First we’ll play “TJ Returns from TFCon Orlando!” from my hand! This allows us to play “Aaron: The Non-Chiral” directly from our deck… but that’s not all! After playing both of those cards, we reveal our face-down cards: “Vangelus, The Everwatching” and “The Neverending GoBots Rabbit Hole!” These two cards will work together, along with the rest of the field, to create a new episode of WTF @ TFW.

Coming to us thanks to 2005 Boards member Bluemarvin we have our first in-hand images of the new Transformers Legacy United Animated Universe Optimus Prime.

It seems Amazon is already shipping this figure now. We have images of the robot mode which really captures the Spirit of the original Transformers Animated design. To top it all, we also have comparison shots next to other modern Voyager toys.

Update: Full pictorial review thanks to 2005 Boards member TrophyBOT125 showing us packaging, robot mode, battle axe, alt mode and comparison shots next to several of the original Transformer Animated toys. Almost 30 pics!

See the images after the jump and then sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Thanks to That Toy Guy on social media, we now have in-hand images of the new Transformers: Reactivate Starscream and Bumblebee!

These pics show the two figures off in their packaging, the robot and alt modes, a few poses, and some size comparisons with other toys, where it can be seen that they are noticeably larger than some of their previous incarnations.

Let us know if you’re interested in picking this pack up!

Update: Additional images added.

under Beast Wars, Generation 1, Non-Transforming, Transformers Sightings

Thanks to 2005 Boards members AlvinC and Exodus for giving us the heads up of our first US sighting of the new Super 7 ReAction Transformers Wave 6 and Beast Wars Tigatron.

ReAction Tigatron was revealed some weeks ago and it was finally found together with ReAction Wave 6 Wreck-Gar and Ultra Magnus at Target stores in Florida and Oregon. The rest of the wave consists of Cyclonus, Quintesson, Sharkticon, and Unicron.

Happy hunting!

under Energon, Generations / Classics

Hot on the heels of our first in-hand images of the new Legacy United Core Tasmania Kid, now we have pictures of his wave partner Transformers Legacy United Core Class Energon Universe Megatron for our viewing pleasure.

These images come thanks to 2005 Boards members Lazerwave and Oniconvoy. This new mold is a very nice modern and faithful rendition to the original Energon Megatron design, now adding some modern poseability. The new Core class size will sure look great in the hands of Energon or Armada Megatron.

Not much left to say, so see the new images after the break and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Following up our story from a few weeks ago about the Transformers: Reactivate Soundwave and Laserbeak game designs, we now also have a few images of the Starscream design again courtesy of TFW member Frosty Coffee!

These pics show the Decepticon air commander in his robot and jet modes, and can be compared with the recently revealed toy. It remains to be seen if the final design will have any changes.

Check it out and stay tuned for more Reactivate news.

under Beast Wars, Generations / Classics, Japanese Transformers

Coming to us thanks to our very own 2005 Boards member Lazerwave, we have our first in-hand images of the new Transformers Legacy United Core Class Beast Wars II Universe Tasmania Kid.

Tasmania Kid and the rest of the Legacy United Wave 1 Core figures (Energon Megatron and Bouldercrash) have showed up in Canada. Tasmania Kid  is a very nice robot, pretty articulated for his size and well sculpted. His gun attaches only the side of the arms, but this is how he used it in the Beast Wars II cartoon. Tamanian devil beast mode looks nice but the front legs are molded parts. We also have comparison shots next to other Legacy and Kingdom figures for those wondering about scale.
