Artist Livio Ramondelli continues our April 2021 solicitations coverage with an advance look at his cover artwork for Transformers Escape issue #5.
Sound off on the 2005 boards with your thoughts about this series!
We have something quite curious to share with you. Via Twitter user @Jalaguy we have an incredible set of images of some vintage original G1 Transformers costumes.
These old Jazz and Thundercracker costumes were used in several G1 commercials and promotional events. According to the information shared in the tweet, they were probably acquired from Sunbow Production’s inventory, and they were finally found in a closed warehouse by Tales of Adventure, a comic shop in Coopersburg, Pennsylvania. These items are quite unique and well made, including what seems to be an inner voice changer.
See all the mirrored images (and tons of nostalgia) after the break, then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Board!

New Pre-Orders
Japanese publisher Hero X have just announced a new 2021 edition of their popular Transformers Generations Book.
Hero X confirmed via Twitter that the Generations Book 2021 is coming out on spring in Japan which means it should be available between March and May this year.
We still have no concrete information on the content or the cover art but, as usual with previous Generations Books, we should expect a lot of great pictures, concept art, interviews and more.

Courtesy of 2005 Board member Megagalvatron1 we can report that the new Transformers R.E.D Wave 2 is out at US retail.
Transformers Prime Arcee and Beast Wars Cheetor action figures were found at Waynesboro Walmart in Pennsylvania.
Happy hunting!
Via Twitter user @Cheetimus we can share for you our first in-hand images of the recently revealed War For Cybertron Deep Cover.
This is a nice black and blue redeco of the War For Cybertron Siege mold, inpired by the E-Hobby exclusive Deep Cover figure (G1 Sideswipe redeco) from 2003. We have images of both modes which let us see the new deco of this unexpected release. We are yet to learn about official details on this figure.

Key players from the My Little Pony / Transformers creative team are reassembling for part II, with TFW2005 members Darth Gonzo and Issy543 reporting this news via io9.
From authors James Asmus and Sam Maggs:
“The first crossover was about as much fun as I’ve had in my writing career,” Asmus said. “I am hugely delighted that we’re not only doing a follow-up, but getting to flip the script. In the first series, we got to tell really charming and fun stories by tossing the Autobots and Decepticons into the colorful, magical world of Equestria. But now, dragging dark magic and friendly ponies into the sci-fi world of Cybertron lets us play with brand new tones, toys, and team-ups!”
“I can’t wait to jump back into this world of magical friendships that really is More than Meets the Eye,” Maggs added. “It’s such a blast coming up with the most fun (and downright weird) pairings of ponies and ‘bots, and I think fans of both series are going to be surprised at what’s we’ve got for them this second time around!”

Thanks to 2005 Board member BenjaminXavier and Terrorcon0 for sharing in our Board images of a new Transformers Kingdom packaging variant.
As we can see from the comparison pics, one box has a printed cardboard hang tab while the other has the more common clear plastic hang tab. So far, it seems this variant has been found in the Deluxe class boxes.
Additionally, we can also spot a difference in the way how Warpath Kingdom is placed inside his box. In the cardboard hang tab, we can see that Warpath has his arms tied to the cardboard, while in the plastic hang tab box there are holes cut so the overhanging part of the arms can go into the tray.
