Transformers 3rd Party

Third party company Cang Toys have revealed, via their Weibo account, images of the gray prototype of their new  CY-Mini-01 Firmament (Legends Scale G1 Tantrum).

While Cang Toys is already working on their own Masterpiece scaled Predacons, they also offered a new version for the Legends scale market. This take on G1 Tantrum brings us a very interesting design, stylized for sure but still recognizable as the classic G1 character. We have images showing the robot and beast mode, comparison shots next to CT-Chiyou-02 Landbull (G1 Tantrum MP scale) and next to his scale-partner CY-Mini-01 Firmament (Legends Scale G1 Divebomb).

Via Weibo user 赛博坦联邦情報局 we have some images of the color prototype of Toyworld Bumblebee Movie Shatter.

It’s been a long time since we had news about this project of a Bumblebee movie triple-changer Shatter. As we can see from the new images, there have been some changes compared to the first prototype images we saw while back in 2019.

While it’s an interesting update, we still have no concrete information about price or release date of this item. See the new images after the jump and then share your impression on the 2005 Boards.

Via 小蜜蜂小王子on Weibo we our first images of Generation Toys GT-11D Darknight (Black Beast Sideswipe).

Generations-Toys is back with a very nice and elegant black and gold redeco of their GT-11 Red Bull/Beast Sideswipe which transforms into a mechanic bull. This design comes from the doujin artbook (non official) Transformers T-Beast by Kuramochi Zukan Group which take G1 characters into mechanical beast modes.

The robot mode looks like good old G1 Sideswipe, with classic details like his shoulder cannon and original parts like two small horns on his head with a good range of poseability and a solid beast mode. According to the information shared in the Weibo post, this will be a limited run with a new interchangeable faceplate, 2 blast effects, and some improvements on the mold. For those of you wondering about the scale, this figure should be as tall as regular Masterpiece car like Tracks.

This is a direct redeco of Fans Hobby MB-15 Naval Commander / Armada Optimus Prime now in a darker deco inspired by the original Powerlinx Armada Optimus Prime toy from 2003.

As we can see from the images, this a cartoon-accurate Masterpiece scale mold which is pretty similar to Magic Square’s Legends MS-B46 Light of Victory Optimus Prime 2.0 but, as mentioned by our boards members, it shows some small changes and extra details. It shows an impressive level of poseability, an opening chest for the Matrix and a very compact backpack. It’s still unclear if this new release will include a trailer, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates.

Update: Via Weibo user WuSssTtt we have new images of the color test shot from different angles and showing off his poseability. We can confirm that the official name will be MS-02 Light Of Peace.
