Via Yu’s Hobby Land Facebook we have our first images of the color prototype of the new Iron Romance Workshop IRS-01 Bloody Azura (Legends Scale Samurai Beast Wars Rampage).
This figure is a redesign of Beast Wars Rampage similar to Iron Factory’s Samurai Series. Standing only 10 cm tall in robot mode it features six poseable arms (4 of them are removable) with several interchangeable hands. It still transforms into a crab. According to the information shared this figure should be out in June this year.
See the images after the break and then sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
Thanks to 2005 Boards Members prfctcellrulz and Pixelmaster, we now have our first look at Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Mainline Voyager Rhinox and Optimus Prime.
Not much is known about the figures but it is clear that Optimus Prime is based on his [awesome] Hasbro Control Art. Rhinox on the other hand is a retool of his Kingdom version.
Update: Thanks to the detective job of Jtprime17 we now know that these figures are part of Wave 2 of the ROTB mainline. Wave 1 includes Voyager Optimus Primal and the same Optimus Prime. The delay of the movie has caused multiple waves to be produced and ready to go at the same time.

Day-1 of RenegadeCon Virtual 2023 came to a close and the company teased several Transformers products to be revealed during the 2nd day of the event.
The company started off with the Transformers Deck Building Game. The game will see a new expansion titled War on Cybertron.
“Yeah, so again we have a deck-building game surprise, so this expansion is actually coming out in June. We haven’t shared this with anybody at all yet, and this is going to be another one of our Big Box Expansions.
It is all about the War on Cybertron.
Control Cybertron cities to determine the fate of the entire planet.
It has a ton of new cards, actually over 175 new cards.”
A brand-new Adventure Book is also introduced to the Transformers RPG:
‘The Time Is Now‘ will release in May.
“This is an adventure for levels 1 through 5 players can pull inspiration from NPCs and story locations and build their own characters. It’s a follow-up to Troubled Waters from the core rulebook. So, if you played through the troubled water adventure in the core rulebook, you can continue right into this with your players and continue their adventures.”
G.I. Joe Deck Building Game side was also covered with the recently revealed Transformers Crossover.
“This is called New Alliances and it’s a crossover with Transformers. So, you get to play using the mission deck and all the other things that you know and love from G.I. Joe Deck Building Game, but now we’re going to get a little bit of help from our Autobot friends.
So, if you were a little worried about defeating Cobra, well now we’ve got some extra resources to help you out here, but also new challenges as well.”

TFNation shares another guest announcement for its 2023 Mini-Con: comic book artist Kris Carter.
Carter provided colours throughout IDW’s initial Transformers comics run. Debuting on Devastation, his work appeared in numerous Spotlight issues and the fan-favourite series All Hail Megatron. He went on to contribute to the movie-verse with work on Nefarious, Alliance and the Revenge of the Fallen movie adaptation; a theme he would run with into the Titan Magazines era.
Stay tuned to this space and the TFNation blog for more details, then join in the discussion on the 2005 boards!
Courtesy of our very own 2005 Boards member Banshee we can share for you our first in-hand images of the recently revealed Transformers Legacy Voyager Metalhawk & Twincast.
To our surprise, both figures have showed up at some specialty stores in Canada. We have clear shots of Metalhawk in both robot and alt mode and good comparison shots next to Kingdom Cyclonus. Metalhawk proves to have his own personality and it’s hard to identify that he shares some parts and engineering with Cyclonus at first sight. Twincast is a nice Kingdom/Legacy Blaster redeco inspired by the G1 Japan character. He comes with his cassettebot partner Rewind which is molded in clear gray plastic.
Not much left to say, so enjoy the mirrored images attached to this news post and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
