We still have no concrete information on price or release date, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates.

Thanks to the detective work of our very own Jtprime17, we have learned of a possible new Masterpiece Movie listing.

As usual, take this information with a grain of salt until we get an official confirmation. This new “Transformers TF Movie Masterpiece 2” listing surfaced via UK site Abgee. There’s not much information or product description, but it indicates a £119.99 retail price (around $150.00). For those interested in tracking this item, use the following codes:

• EAN: 5010993683833
• SKU: 285 E7300

Stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates. In the mean time, we can place our bets. Are we getting a new Ratchet to complete the Autobot cast from Transformers 2007? Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Courtesy of Dengeki Hobby Web we can share for you new stock images of Takara Tomy Earthrise ER-08 Doubledealer And Takara Tomy Mall Exclusives ER EX-09 Race Track Patrol And ER EX-10 Snapdragon.

Takara Tomy have chosen the Micromaster Decepticon Race Track Patrol (Roller Force & Groundhog) and Snapdragon as the next Takara Tomy Mall exclusives in Japan. They are both scheduled for release in late September this year.

The next regular release is Doubledealer which seems to have no discernible differences compared to his Hasbro counterpart. The new images let us see the faction changing gimmick in robot mode, the robot, vehicle and bird modes and how you can connect his vehicle mode with Earthrise Quintesson Judge base mode. Doubledealer is also scheduled for release in late September 2020.

Takara Tomy Mall has just uploaded the Transformers Generation Selects Super Megatron Web Comic/Manga on their listing for the toy.

This time we have in fact a 2-part web comic/manga which seems to be linked to the events of previous Generation Selects Star Convoy and Seacons stories. In part 1 we can see a flashback with Convoy/Optimus Prime and Galvatron face Unicron and his armada of small Cybertron Unicron clones while back in 2011. Then, we get back to the battle against Optimus and King Poseidon (Piranacon) which is interrupted by the arriving of Super Megatron (who seemed to have taken down Halfshell previously). King Poseidon now battles against Super Megatron revealing a new “combat mode” transforming his limbs into weapons, but he’s defeated easily by the upgraded Decepticon leader.

Part 2 reveals the next battle. With King Poseidon out, now Super Megatron and Convoy/Optimus Prime clash. Optimus uses his silver Matrix and becomes Star Convoy again. He transforms into a new battle station mode (which can be recreated with the toy) and defeats Super Megatron. But the treacherous Megatron forces Optimus to hand him the Matrix in order to save some innocent inhabitants. Now, Super Megatron powers up again, and a second alt mode is revealed! A new tank form which seems a homage to Ultra Megatron (also seen only in the old G1 TV Magazine Battlestars: Return Of Convoy pages).

This new alt mode gives us a lot to think. So far, many of the new alt modes, combinations or configurations seen in these comics are possible to recreate with the toys. Could Super Megatron toy also transform into this tank mode? We can spot tank treads in the first stock images of the toy. Time will tell if this is possible or not.

You can download the pdf files of part 1 here and part 2 here. Alternatively, you can check out the mirrored images after the jump. Then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Bad news for Chinese Transformers fans. Tencent Games have just announcemed the closure of their game: Transformers Online.

Transformers Online was a Chinese exclusive Multiplayer online first-person shooter developed by Tencent Games which released in June 23, 2017 featuring characters across multiple Transformers Universes including Michael Bay Movies, Generations and even High Moon Studio’s Fall Of Cybertron. All packed with stunning character design.

This game was exclusive to the Chinese market and never saw a release in the US or any other country. According to the Tencent Games website the game will be completely shut down on February 13, 2020, but it won’t be able to register as a new user starting November 14, 2019.

This is not to be confused with the already cancelled Transformers Online which was developed by NetDragon or Certain Affinity’s Transformers Online which is currently in development.

Thanks to TransFans Facebook and Capcomkai Instagram we can share for you new in-hand images of the upcoming Transformes Studio Series SS-59 Shatter (Jet Mode).

Fans of the Bumblebee movie will sure be pleased with this new Shatter mold which looks very movie-accurate in robot mode, which is a great improvement over SS-40 Shatter (car mode) body, specially if we compare the heads. It’s good to remark that while the images show Shatter with 2 arm cannons, she has proper hands to hold them. Jet mode looks really compact with an interesting transformation that hides most of the robot parts.

This figure is expected for release in 2020, and you can find pre-orders for this figures and the new Studio Series DOTM Roadbuster and Offroad Bumblebee via our sponsors links below. See the new images after the break and let us know your impressions on this new Shatter mold!
