Thanks to 2005 Boards member Oniconvoy is giving us the heads up that the new Transformers Cyberverse Tiny Turbo Changers Series 3 has been found at Canadian retail.

These little figures have proved to be very elusive with only one sighting in Taiwan before. They have finally been spotted in Canada at Toys”R”Us Burlington, Ontario.

The Tiny Turbo changers figures are packed in blind bags, but there’s a code embossed on the bottoms of the bag near the Hasbro logo. The code starts with a letter of the alphabet and it’s this letter that tells you who is inside. You can find an identification code list here.

Third Party company DNA Design, know for their accessories and upgrades, have updated their Facebook account with images of their DK–17 TF Mammoth Fusion Cannon (Big Convoy’s Matrix Buster).

This is a very nice alternative for those collectors who missed the Encore Big Convoy Matrix Buster Ver. which was an expensive Takara Tomy Mall item. This new accessory is DNA Design’s take on Big Convoy’s Matrix Buster but adding some interesting modifications:

  • Slightly stylized design, still cartoon accurate but not the same as Takara’s.
  • Removable cannon crown.
  • New Matrix.
  • Handler can rotate, so you can attach the cannon into Big Convoy’r right or left arm.
  • Additional new part to connect the cannon on the back of the mammoth mode.

We still have no details about price, but this item is expected for release in August this year. Images are from an early prototype, so changes may be done in the final product. Stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates.
