We have something quite curious to share with you. Via Twitter user @Jalaguy we have an incredible set of images of some vintage original G1 Transformers costumes.

These old Jazz and Thundercracker costumes were used in several G1 commercials and promotional events. According to the information shared in the tweet, they were probably acquired from Sunbow Production’s inventory, and they were finally found in a closed warehouse by Tales of Adventure, a comic shop in Coopersburg, Pennsylvania. These items are quite unique and well made, including what seems to be an inner voice changer.

See all the mirrored images (and tons of nostalgia) after the break, then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Board!

Japanese publisher Hero X have just announced a new 2021 edition of their popular Transformers Generations Book.

Hero X confirmed via Twitter that the Generations Book 2021 is coming out on spring in Japan which means it should be available between March and May this year.

We still have no concrete information on the content or the cover art but, as usual with previous Generations Books, we should expect a lot of great pictures, concept art, interviews and more.

What are you expecting to see on this new book? Share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Via Twitter user @Cheetimus we can share for you our first in-hand images of the recently revealed War For Cybertron Deep Cover. 

This is a nice black and blue redeco of the War For Cybertron Siege mold, inpired by the E-Hobby exclusive Deep Cover figure (G1 Sideswipe redeco) from 2003. We have images of both modes which let us see the new deco of this unexpected release. We are yet to learn about official details on this figure.

Thanks to 2005 Board member BenjaminXavier and Terrorcon0 for sharing in our Board images of a new Transformers Kingdom packaging variant.

As we can see from the comparison pics, one box has a printed cardboard hang tab while the other has the more common clear plastic hang tab. So far, it seems this variant has been found in the Deluxe class boxes.

Additionally, we can also spot a difference in the way how Warpath Kingdom is placed inside his box. In the cardboard hang tab, we can see that Warpath has his arms tied to the cardboard, while in the plastic hang tab box there are holes cut so the overhanging part of the arms can go into the tray.

The official Takara Tomy Transformers Twitter have uploaded images of a production sample of the new Transformers Kingdom Dinobot for your viewing pleasure.

Kingdom brings us a completely new  Voyager mold for Dinobot with a great mix of a cartoon-accurate robot mode with a more realistic dinosaur mode. A very nice update for the honorable Maximal warrior. We have a clear shot in robot mode and another one showing the back of the dinosaur mode.

Via Kreemzek Reviews on Youtube we have our first in-hand images of the new Transformers Kingdom Deluxe Class Huffer.

Huffer will be released as part of Kingdom Wave 2 Deluxe class this year. This figure is a complete new mold and a great modern update of the small Autobot warrior. Robot mode looks cartoon-accurate but with some new modern added details, and a good poseability. Alt mode es pretty compact and small, and scales very well next to Leader class Optimus Prime and it’s compatible with the trailer to recreate the famous scene from “Heavy Metal War”. We also have comparison shots in robot mode next to several War For Cybertron figures for those wondering about scale.

Thanks to 2005 Board member Vector Oracle for sharing in our board  images of the new Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee Spark Armor Bumblebee.

This figure (together with Spark Armor Megatron) was found at US retail some days ago. Spark Armor Bumblebee is a new combo which includes the previously released Cyberverse Elite Class Bumblebee but with a redeco of the garbage truck accessory that came with Cyberverse Elite Class Grimlock.
