Thanks to new listings on Amazon UK, we can share for your some new stock images of the new Transformers Cyberverse Deluxe Optimus Prime and Megatron.

This new “Deluxe” Wave brings us a great improvement in design and articulation compared to previous Cyberverse figures. Additionally, we have the new Maccadam Build-A-Figure. Optimus Prime comes with the left hand and Megatron includes the upper torso. While both figure are expected for release on January 2020, the complete Wave 1 (including Shockwave and Bumblebee) has been found in Hong Kong.

Courtesy of Dengeki Hobby Web we have new stock images of Takara Tomy Earthrise releases for May 2020: Trip-Up & Daddy-O, Wheeljack and Ironworks.

The figures show no discernible differences compared to their Hasbro counterparts, but they use different code numbers for each one.

  • ER EX-03 Micromasters Trip-Up & Daddy-O – Takara Tomy Mall Exclusive – 1500 Yen ($13.78)
  • ER-03 Wheeljack – 2800 Yen ($25.72)
  • ER-04 Ironworks – 2800 Yen ($25.72)

It’s good to notice that the new Micromasters will be sold as Takara Tomy Mall exclusives like Battle Master ER EX-01 Soundbarrier and ER EX-02 Grapple.  We also have a very nice gallery for Ironworks showing his parts, weapons, modes and all the combination and playability potential with other bases, Micromasters and Battle Masters. To top it all, we have a pic with Wheeljack using Ironworks parts as an armor via Autobase Aichi.

Via Iron Star 钢铁星Facebook we have our first look at the gray prototype of Transform Element Masterpíece Scaled G1 Mirage.

Fans looking for cartoon-accuracy will be very pleased with the sculpt and design of this new mold, very clean and solid with proper feet and highly posable. While we still have no alt mode images, there’s a comparison pic next to MP Sunstreaker and Transform Element TE-01S (Masterpiece scaled G1 Optimus Prime sleep deco).

We still have no additional information on price or release date, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates! Click on the bar to see the mirrored images and share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

We are saddened to report that script writer & story editor Dorothy Catherine  “D.C.” Fontana has died at the age of 80. Articles on Comicbook.com and Scyandfantasyfanssociety.com have just confirmed it.

While she has been well-known by her involvement in the Star Trek franchise for many years, she became part of the Transformers franchise when she wrote the Beast Wars episode “Crossing The Rubicon” when Blackarachnia became a Transmetal 2.

We offer our heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.

2005 Boards member TheBeastman is giving us the heads up that the New Transformers Cyberverse Ultimate Optimus is Available on Amazon.com.

This new mold stands at 9 inches tall in robot mode and converts to truck mode in six steps, packed with a cool, colored Energon Armor and an Energon Axe Action Attack gimmick. This mold was officially scheduled by January 1st, 2020 but you can already find it via Amazon.com.

There are some strange details on the listing though. First, the $16.75 price which does not match the official $29.99 price, and the fact that it sold via Amazon Warehouse as a used item.

We also know that a new Cyberverse Ultimate Shockwave is coming too. We hope a listing for fan-favorite Decepticon Cyclops surfaces soon.

under Generation 1, Japanese Transformers, Transformers Masterpiece

A few weeks ago we learned about a new Takara Tomy Raiden Project that would be finally revealed at the  the special exhibition: “A Railway Story In The Sky” in Japan.

Today, images from the event reveal a big poster with a Raiden silhouette and a text that translates: “Starting with Transformers Masterpiece! Raiden project has started”. It seems Takara has a new plan for Trainbot Combiner Raiden, a Japanese exclusive character and toy from 1987, now with an upcoming Masterpiece mold.

There’s still no extra details about this project, but the display at the event features the original G1 toys next to the new Masterpiece MP-44 Optimus Prime Ver. 3 and MP-45 Bumblebee Ver. 2 as well as a monitor showing clips of Raiden from the Japanese exclsuive “The Headmasters” cartoon.

Stay tuned with TFw2005 for more updates! Click on the bar to see the mirrored images from the event, thanks to Autobase Aichi. Do we finally have our first official Masterpiece Combiner in the horizon? Share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
