TFW2005 member HeroicC300 is on site at this weekend’s PAX Unplugged Energon Invitational in Philadelphia and scored the following recon straight from the source, Transformers Trading Card Game Brand Manager Drew Nolosco, prior to the start of today’s festivities:

  • Drew wants Mini-Cons in the game
  • Common Ultra Magnus? Possible, Magnus will return at some point
  • He loves Hearts of Steel and agreed that it could give Boat/Train support
  • He gave some agreement – no promises – to the idea of Steamhammer appearing as a train despite being a construction vehicle most of the time
  • Wave 7 by next PAX? “Probably.”
  • Construction as a subtype unlikely, might be tanks and trucks

under 3rd Party Unlicensed

It took some time, but Third Party company Master Made have shared, via Weibo, images of the color prototype of their new SDT-07 God Ginrai.

This the latest installment on Master Made Superdeformed or “chibi” style Transformers figures. We have a look at their take on God Ginrai / Powermaster Optimus with Apex Armor. This figure looks quite powerful and cute at the same time, and of course it can split into Ginrai, Super Ginrai and the final combination.

under Japanese Transformers

The Japanese G-Shock Website have just uploaded a very nice G-Shock x Transformers Master Nemesis Optimus Prime Promotional Video for our viewing pleasure.

Master Nemesis Optimus Prime is the new Takara Tomy and G-Shock collaboration. This is a special G-Shock DW-5600TF19-1 in Nemesis Prime/Black Convoy colors. It features a new LCD screen with red backlight with a Decepticon insignia and a 2-color molding band. It also includes a transformable watch pedestal: “Nemesis Alter Mode” that can convert in the main robot body.

This video features a simple but very cool animation that provides some visuals to Master Nemesis Prime background story. He is supposed to be a former hero who has fallen into darkness. He was trapped between space and time after the battle that destroyed Cybertron. Once there, a cursed Dark Matrix turned him into an evil warrior. He looks for Master Optimus Prime to regain his ability to manipulate time.

Watch the video below, as well as some, screencaps after the jump. Then, you can share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
