Third party company NewAge have revealed, via their Weibo account, our first image of their upcoming Hephaestus (Legends Scale G1 Devastator).

This is another impressive Devastator for the competitive Legends scale market. According to the information shared in Weibo each Constructicon will stand 9.8 cm tall with die-cast metal parts, while the combiner mode will be about 25 cm tall. Different interchangeable faces for Devastator are included plus LED eyes. Devastator’s gun will feature sound and lights. To top it all, we also have an image of the gray prototype of NewAge Scavenger showing off his poseability.

A promising alternative to the recently revealed Magic Square Toys Legends Scale Devastator. Click on the bar to see the mirrored images and then join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Board!

Via Serlent Pops and Funko Pop News on Twitter we have our first look at the upcoming 10-Inch Funko Pop Optimus Prime.

This a special oversized version of the new Funko Pop Retro Toys G1 Optimus Prime. While it seems it was spotted in Philippines, there’s still not much information about the release of this new figure. We can spot a “Special Edition” sticker on the box which means it could be an upcoming store exclusive. Stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates and an official reveal.

We have something really curious to share with you, and some may consider it an opportunity. The owner of the 1987 Freightliner truck, which Paramount used as Optimus Prime in the last scene of the Bumblebee movie, has recently put the truck on sale.

The truck is offered via Facebook Marketplace and Truckers Buy Sell Trade or advice Facebook group. If you are hard core fan of Optimus Prime, and you have $21600 to spend, you may park Optimus Prime at home. Click on the sales links for additional information and location.

Would you buy the Autobot leader to display him in your parking lot? Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Board!

Third party company Magic Square Toys have uploaded, via their Weibo account, the first color image of their Legends Scale Devastator and a gallery of their Legends scale Mixmaster.

This figure was teased while back in January 2019 but Magic Square surprised us now with a cartoon accurate rendition of Devastator for the competitive Legends scale market. To top it all, they have also shared images of the first prototype of their Mixmaster figure in robot, vehicle and combiner mode. This is sure a great mold noyh in detail and poseability considering the scale. About the leg combiner mode, Magic Square added the option to display it with a cartoon-accurate toe or in a toy-accurate style with no toe.

We still have no additional information on price or release date, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates! See all the mirrored gallery on this news post and then share your impressions on the 2005 Board!
