Via Weibo user 来自塞博坦情怀 we can share for you images of the color prototype of X-Transbots MX-10 Virtus (Masterpiece Scale G1 Springer).

This is a very impressive take on the Autobot Triple Changer showing off a great cartoon accurate design in his 3 modes. The figure will include a plethora of extra parts like sword, gun, blast effects, a display base (weapons and other parts can be stored under this base), a rotating effect for the helicopter mode and a small human figurine inspired by Springer’s synthoid form as we saw him in the G1 episode “Only Human”. To top ir all, Virtus will have LED headlights and die-cast!

Keep in mind that this is still a prototype and some changes may be done in the final product (as stated in the pictures). This figure is scheduled for release by March 2021 and you can find pre-orders via our sponsors links below.

Thanks to 2005 Board member Tungg for sharing images of a new Transformers Kingdom Megatron head variant.

This new head shows grinning teeth instead of the closed lips of the original head making it more expressive. Could this be a homage of the original Beast Wars Megatron toy? Or maybe the head of an incoming repaint? Time will tell. Time to look for this head variant during your hunting time.

Update: Megatron’s upper torso image with the new head thanks to 2005 Board member Tungg

Walmart app is a goldmine when it comes to discovering upcoming toy releases. Today, we are happy to stumble upon a listing with toys belonging to Transformers: Cyberverse Season 4.

That’s right: Season 4. However, thanks to these newly discovered names, we now know that this latest season is none other than the two TV Movies which TFW2005 reported during our coverage of Festival Of Licensing.

The gimmick for the new season is ‘Roll & Transform/Combine‘, with the Dinobots taking the center stage. But, there is a very special surprise which makes this list fall into SPOILER territory.

It’s also interesting that a Dinosaur related BotBots pack is being released to coincide with the ‘Dinobots Season’.

You can check out the full list (as of this day… more toys may follow) after the jump (spoilers – don’t say we didn’t warn you), and download* the official Walmart app via Google Playstore and iOS Appstore.

Via TonTon Review on Youtube we have new in-hand images of the upcoming Transformers Studio Series SS-70 B-127 (Cybertronian Bumblebee).

B-127 (Cybertronian Bumblebee) is part of the new Studio Series Wave 12 Deluxe together with SS-71 Dark Of The Moon Dino. This figure is a redeco of Studio Series SS-64 Cliffjumper (Bumblebee movie) with a new head to resemble Bumblebee’s Cybertronian mode as seen in the Bumblebee movie. As usual, we also have comparison shots in both modes next to other Studio Series figures.

Check out all the images on this news post, as well as TonTon video review, after the jump. Click on the discussion link below and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Thanks to 2005 Boards member levandowski for sharing in our board an images of a possible first look at an unreleased Masterpiece MP-50 Tigatron “Mutant Mask” accessory.

We have a small image which shows what seems to be parts of a test shot or prototype, revealing several extra faces plus an extra “Mutant mask” part. A great homage to the original “Mutant masks” we saw in most of the first Beast Wars toys back in the day.

Take this with a grain of salt until we get an official confirmation, but we should remember that we saw something similar with a Masterpiece MP-34 Cheetor green prototype which also revealed an extra accessory. This long range communicator device accessory was later included with Masterpiece MP-34S Shadow Panther. Could this mean we may have a Masterpiece Tigatron redeco in the works? Time will tell.
