We have something quite special to share with you this Sunday. YouTube user 87render, who got the attention of the fans thanks to his impressive “Starscream OVA” fan-animation video, has just treated us with another great piece of animation for our viewing pleasure.

Old school anime fans will sure catch the references to Daicon short animation and other classic anime.

Via Weibo user 漫港湾 we have images of the color samples of the new Yolopark AMK Series Pro G1 Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Optimus Prime is the next entry in Yolopark’s easy-to-build model kits line (all parts pre-painted and assembled, just connect limbs to the torso). This non-transforming action figure has got a very cartoon-accurate design and proportions and includes die-cast parts.

Then we have images of the previously seen AMK Pro Series Megatron now showing off the updated interchangeable faces. We also have a look at the inner box and parts and it seems we have a new updated packaging compared to the one we reported some weeks ago.

Price and pre-orders for Optimus Prime are yet to be revealed, but Megatron it’s already available for pre-order via Yolopark website or our sponsors links below.

Another great piece of Transformers history is now available online for all old-time fans. The Sunbow Marvel Archive website have uploaded new early The Transformers: The Movie storyboards.

Covering the initial third of the film before jumping to Unicron’s transformation. Working from a slightly earlier version of the script, they include more brutal deaths for the shuttle crew, as well as the confirmed death of Mirage (layout simplification on the final version makes it ambiguous).

You can find this new material via the Sunbow Marvel Archive website, along with the finalized versions. We also have an an animatic video after the jump. Click on the discussion link below and be sure to share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
