Thanks to 2005 Boards member Rookbartley for sharing in our boards images of the Transformers Authentics Role Play Enegon Axe & Energon Sword found at US retail.
Found at a Five Below in Fort Wayne, Indiana; these are quite big role play toys (about 50 cm long each) for affordable $5.00. Both the axe and sword are molded after Optimus Prime weapons seen in AOE/TLK.

Via fonziechavez we have our first look a the packaging of the new Transformers Legacy: Evolution Autobot Medix.
We had previously seen this redeco of Legacy Crankcase with Burnout’s head, as an homage to Rescue Bots Medix while back in 2022 but we had no other details about it. Now to our surprise, we have a look at the packaging in a very unexpected way. A Crosscut figure was ordered from Hasbro Pulse but he came in a Legacy Medix box. We can see Medix in robot and alt mode and his colorful Evo-Fusion weapon combination. We still have no concrete information if this figure will be an store exclusive or not or an specific release date. Stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates!

This a new black redeco of the Masterpiece MP-53 Skids mold with a new head, inspired by the Diaclone black Honda City Turbo mold (which later became G1 Skids) which is also known as Burn Out in later modern renditions. We have clear shots at the packaging, extra parts, robot and alt mode. In a nice detail, she comes with G1 and G2 insignia stickers for you to choose which to apply.
Dia Burnout was released as a Takara Tomy Mall exclusive in Japan, but you can still find pre-orders via our sponsors links below:
