Thanks to 2005 Boards member dalianjj for sharing in our boards our first images of the new Fans Toys FT-29T Quietus (G1 Cyclonus) Metallic Color Version.

Fans Toys Quietus proved to be one of the best alternatives for a cartoon-accurate Masterpiece scaled Cyclonus. This special version gives us a very nice shiny finishing to this impressive mold, and we are sure you optics will be pleased with the result. We have a nice set of images in both modes and a comparison shot with the original Quietus regular release.

We still have no concrete information on price or release date, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates! Check all the mirrored images after the jump and then join to the discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Update: Several of our sponsors have got pre-orders for this item. Expected for release on August, 2019. Check it in our sponsors links below.

3P Company Mech Fans Toys have shared in their Weibo account our first images of the gray prototype of their MS-26 Iron Sky (Legends Scaled G1 Astrotrain).

This Legends scaled take on the classic G1 Astrotrain looks very promising so far. We have a look at the space shuttle and train modes at the moment. We are yet to see the robot mode, but the images show fairly cartoon-accurate alt modes, something remarkable for a figure this size.

We still have no concrete information on release date or price, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates when it’s available. Click on the bar to see the mirrored images and then join to the discussion on the 2005 Boards!

3P company Newage had recently revealed their Legends scale Insecticon, and now they surprise us with their first variant: H-10+ Abadon (Kickback), H-11+ Berial (Shrapnel) & H-12+ Asmodeus (Bombshell) in correct G1 cartoon colors.

These small but cool Legends sized Insecticons now show more gray in different areas, that match the colors seen in the G1 cartoon. A very nice option to choose between the toy-accurate first release.

These figures are expected for release by August this year. You may look for a pre-order via our sponsors below. Check the mirrored images after the jump and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

3P company Newage have uploaded via their Weibo account images of the color prototypes of their next entry in the Legends scale market: H10 Abadon (Kickback), H-11 Berial (Shrapnel) & H-12 H12 Asmodeus (Bombshell), the G1 Insecticons.

These are small but very articulated figures with a great cartoon-accurate design in both modes. Each toy includes the respective classic gun and three Energon cubes as extra bonus. We still have no concrete information price or release date, but they are likely to be sold as a set of three.

Via X-Transbots Weibo, we can share for you some images of the X-Transbots MX-XVII (T) Taiho (Masterpiece Skids Police Deco).

This new black and white deco of X-Transbots MX-17 Savant (Masterpiece scaled G1 Skids) is based on the Honda Today police car from the classic anime “You’re Under Arrest” or “Taiho Shichauzo” (There you are the “Taiho” reference on the name). Besides the colors, it will come with a new head, the original small motorcycle, and 2 small figurines based on Natsumi and Miyuki, the two police officers from the original anime series.

Interested on this mold? You can still find pre-orders in some of our sponsors below. This mold is now expected for release by August this year. You can click on the bar to see the mirrored images and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

It has been a while since Fans Hobby shared an update on this project, but via their Facebook account we have some great images of the Fans Hobby Thunderclash Gray Prototype.

This a very promising extensive remold of Fans Hobby MB-06 Powerbaser (Powermaster Optimus Prime) which seems slightly inspired by IDW Thunderclash. We are yet to see how the inner robot or the alt mode would be, but we are sure the images shown will catch your attention.

Check all the images by yourself after the jump, and then join to the discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Via Transform Element on Weibo we can share for you the first prototype images of the new TE-02 Bumblebee Movie VW Bettle Bumblebee for your viewing pleasure.

Transform Element is bringing a very promising take on Bumblebee as seen in his first solo movie. The robot mode looks movie-accurate (specially the back) and highly detailed. We still have no concrete information on scale, price or release date yet, but be sure to stay tuned with TFW2005 for new updates.
