Transformers news and info for Marvel Transformers Crossovers and Star Wars Transformers Crossovers.

under Comics, Crossovers, Generation 1

Village Books Website has updated their listing for the upcoming Mazinger Z vs Transformers Manga/Comic with an image of the regular cover of this amazing crossover.

The regular cover comes courtesy of Go Nagai, creator of Mazinger Z and one of the keystones of Japanese Mecha series. The powerful Mazinger Z shines in the background, and Optimus Prime is in front of him raising his arm as if he were initiating an attack. A very classic and retro style cover.

We are sure fans of both franchises are really looking forward for this crossover. The planned publication date of this book is March 28, 2019 so stay tuned with TFW2005 for more details and information.

Check out the cover after the jump and sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

And when you thought it was going to be a normal morning, Toypanic website has listed a pre-order for an upcoming new MP-10 Convoy X The Real Ghostbusters Crossover Toy.

This would be one very particular crossover and new addition to the extensive list or MP-10 repaints so far. We still have no real images of the product, but according to the description it is a “HASBRO  Transformers 35th Anniversary Shanghai Exhibition Limited Item”. It will include a truck and trailer with a new logo plus new parts.

The item is listed for 815 Malaysian Ringit or $196 approximately and expected for release by September 2019.

Sadly, still no any image available just a placeholder. Take it with a grain of salt until we get further confirmation from an official source. Can you imagine Optimus Prime in an Ecto-1 deco? Who you gonna call? You can share your thoughts on the 2005 Boards.

Don’t be surprised by the long name. Japanese market always surprises us with rare and exclusive Transformers items and this is one of them.

While back in November, 2017  we had reported the announcement of one of the most curious crossovers in our franchise. The Transformers & Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!! Crossover~Donarimasu & Guchirimasu were part of the promotional campaign for the Japanese release of the DVD/Blu-Ray of popular Japanese comedy show “Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!” (“Downtown’s This Is No Task for Kids!”). An exclusive TR Cerebros/Fortress remold with special Headmaster units was included. The Headmasters were called: DONARIMASU and GUCHIRIMASU which had got faces molded after the Japanese comedians in “super-deformed” style.

Thanks to Twitter users @hikoneko27, @akahukutoorimon and @INCHIKIBANCYO we have our first in-hand images of the packaging, the small Donarimaus and Guchirimasu Headmasters units, and the main Headmaster used as the head of Legends Grand Maximus (you sure want to see it). To top it all, we can also share a video of the new audio clips which sound as if they were from a comedy show.

Takara-Tomy have updated their website with a new section for the Star Wars Powered By Transformers Millennium Falcon.

We have some new extra images, and one of them let us know that the Millennium Falcon will be 24 cm long. There’s also a new official video showing the transformation from Millennium Falcon to the Han Solo and Chewbacca components. It’s nice to see all the great finishing and paint details on the figure. As Takara Tomy Designer Takahiko Shirai stated on a recent Interview, the figures on this line really take special care on not to expose robot parts in vehicle modes without compromising proportions.

We are sure you will really enjoy the video, this is a very original and nice transformation. It also reveals where you can place the Han Solo and Chewbacce mini-figures that are included with this set. The Millennium Falcon is priced 14,800 Yen ($135 approximately) and it’s expected to be released on June,2018.

You can watch or even download the video here, and then you can click on the bar to check out some of the mirrored images and join to the ongoing discussion at the 2005 Boards!

Via Game Watch Impress website we have a very interesting interview with Takara Tomy Designer Takahiko Shirai Interview On Star Wars Powered By Transformers Millennium Falcon.

Thanks to 2005 Boards member Gaokaiser for sharing the original Japanese link in our forums and our very own Super Mod Shin Densetsu for providing us with a translation of the interview. This is a very interesting reading indeed, which reveals how Takara is highly interested in this new line. The original Star Wars Transformers Crossover from 12 years ago was a Hasbro initiative, and now Takara is taking the lead, trying to bring us more detailed and complex figures with great paint apps for both modes. The main emphasis is on vehicle modes that don’t give away the fact that they transform.

You can read the full translation and mirrored images, which include a short transformation sequence of the Millennium Falcon, after the jump and then sound off at the 2005 Boards!

We had previously reported the G-Shock x Transformers Collaboration Video featuring a G-Shock G-Steel watch that transforms into a robot that resembles Optimus Prime. Now we have a look at the complete CGI Model of this character.

Via Japanese site prtimes.jp has shared the complete CGI robot mode of the robot we saw in the promotional video and we also get the bio and background story of this character named G3 Prime. He is an ancient guardian of the life forms of the whole universe who sensed a distortion in time and appeared in our era. He can manipulate the flow of time and repair temporal distortion.

While the CGI model looks great, there are no plans to release a proper toy of G3 Prime, and it will be just used as part of the promotional campaign for the G-SHOCK G-STEEL watch.

You can check the mirrored images after the jump and then share your impressions at the 2005 Boards.
