Some things take a while to be revealed, and this news post is a clear example of that. Two years after our first report we finally have in-hand images of the Hasbro China Taobao Exclusive Studio Series Camo Blackout thanks to TransFans.

This figure is special and very limited redeco of Studio Series Blackout which was available as a special giveaway prize for customers who bought Studio Series figures from Hasbro China TaoBao site ONLY in May 15, 2019. Yes, just in one day. This figure was limited to only 88 figures worldwide since it was a special custom job by Chinese artist Li Yunfeng.

The box is the same as the original Hasbro Studio Series release, but it has a numbered sticker (the one in the pics is 79 of the 88 made) and another one with Li’s Sang Zhong Studio logo. Blackout features an interesting blue faded finishing that looks original and different compared to the original gray Blackout. This may be one of the most hard-to-find Studio Series figures, to the point we got images after 2 years of its original release.

Third Party company Cang Toys, via their Weibo account, have shared images of the color prototype of their CT-Chiyou-02 Landbull (G1 Tantrum).

This new take on the G1 Predacons brings us a very interesting design, stylized for sure but still very recognizable as the classic G1 characters. This figure features a wide range of articulation and many sculpted details in both modes. This mold is for the Masterpiece scale, so we should expect a quite tall Thunderking/Predaking. Some fans may remember that CT-Chiyou-01 Ferocious (Rampage) and this mold were initially reported as a Toy World project.

According to the information shared via Weibo, Ferocious (Rampage) is expected for release in April and Landbull in should be ready to ship by the end of June this year.

Via Banana Force Weibo we have images of a colored sample of their MPL-01B Red Sharpshooter Black Ver. (Car Robot Black Fire Convoy).

This figure is a black redeco of Banana Force Red Sharpshooter (RID Optimus Prime) inspired by the Japanese lucky draw Black Fire Convoy. Banana Force is bringing detailed non-transforming articulated figures made of ABS and metal alloy with a plethora of accessories and extra parts. We are glad they are bringing some new versions of RID/Car Robot characters into the competitive third party market.

We still have no concrete information on price or release date, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates. Click on the bar to see all the mirrored images on this news post and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

The official Transformers Instagram and Facebook accounts surprised us with the reveal of new Transformers Earthrise Target Exclusive Thundercracker & Skywarp 2-pack And Decepticon Clones.

According to the information shared, these packs will be available this summer exclusively at Target stores in the US. Skywarp and Thundercracker are the inevitable repaints of Earthrise Starscream mold, but we can spot that they have different face expressions. Pounce and Wingspan are the previously released Titans Return molds now sold together in a single pack. They were kind of hard to get before since Pounce was available only in the “Siege Of Cybertron” set and Wingspan was sold in a 2-pack together with Cloudraker as a Walgreens exclusive.
