The official Takara Tomy Transformers Twitter uploaded images of a production sample of the new Deluxe Swoop from the new Generations Selects Volcanicus pack.

The Power Of The Primes Dinobots will be released by Takara Tomy as a 5-pack with a special G1-inspired deco. The images let us see a great comparison of the new Vocanicus Pack Swoop next the original POTP Swoop. The new brilliant colors look great, specially the new red head in robot mode and the complete yellow beak in dino mode. You can also check comparison pics of Volcanicus pack Grimlock here.

Volcanicus will be a Takara Tomy Mall exclusive 5-pack but you can already find pre-orders via our sponsors links below. Click on the bar to see the mirrored images on this news post and then share your impression on the 2005 Boards!

Time to take a look at this year’s Commander Class figure from Transformers Earthrise – Sky Lynx!  He joins WFC Siege’s Jetfire as that “bigger than leader, smaller than Titan” offering.  And he does that job well.  I’ve been looking forward to him since Toy Fair 2020 (man that was forever ago now).  While I personally prefer early run G1 characters, a select few movie+ ones hit a note with me and Sky Lynx was always one of them.  Is he ridiculous in concept, execution – yes.  Was the character in the show even more silly – yes.  Is he awesome – also yes.

The Earthrise Commander version captures the essence of the original – larger, space shuttle, stark white with red blue and gold mixed in, combination, bird and lynx modes.  Same transformation style with a couple extra flips and twists mixed in. Something new I thought was cool – an additional base mode where the lynx becomes the base for the shuttle launch pad.

I had a bit of a time with some engineering points – hard to keep together in combined mode.  Bird legs are floppy af.  Wings don’t hold position tight.  None of these really kill it, but it’s not as fine tuned as I would have liked.  Once I got him in his shelf pose though, he was fine an will be fine hanging with Omega and Jetfire in the Space Force corner.

We’ve run him for a set so hit the link below to check out over 40 HD shots, both basic and fancy.   We’ve also attached some to this story after the break.

Attention UK collectors! 2005 Board member Underlord is giving us the heads up of his sighting of the Transformers Earthrise Wave 2 Deluxe Smokescreen at UK retail.

Smokescreen was spotted at Smyths in Tollgate. It’s good to point out that only 3 copies of Smokescreen were found, with no trace of the rest of this wave’s figures (Arcee, Allicon and Airwave). We hope the other toys will pop up soon an it’s not a Smokescreen solid case. 2005 Boards member Gumblor Gimbles sent us photographic proof that this is an Smokescreen solid case for the UK market.

Happy hunting!

Via Weibo we have an image of what seems to be our first look at the rumored Studio Series 86 Deluxe Kup.

We had rumors about some Studio Series figures based on the characters of the classic G1 Transformers animated movie. We had reported some Walmart listings for Kup, Jazz, Blurr and some other characters.  We have a look at a mistransformed Kup in robot mode which looks like a nice new mold with inspiration from the G1 toy. There’s still not much information about this toy, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates.

Via David Wallace on Twitter and Marcomadrysreviews on Facebook we have some images and information to let you go into speculation mode. We have a possible first look at the rumored Studio Series 86 Hot Rod & Kingdom Fossilizer.

As usual, take this with a grain of salt until we find an official confirmation. We have small and blurry images of what seems to be a G1 Hot Rod which was rumored to be released in the Studio Series line as part of a sub-line of Transformers 1986 characters. According to the information shared he will be a Voyager size figure.

Additionally, we have another image showing what a strange robot which transforms into a Velociraptor skeleton plus a pic that shows it combined with Kingdom Warpath as extra weaponry. Could this be part of the rumored Kingdom Fossilizers? They were supposed to be like Siege Weaponizers figures like Cog.

We don’t stop here. Some extra information was shared about an upcoming Studio Series 86 Deluxe G1 Jazz and Leader G1 Grimlock but with no images so far. To top it all, we have a new slightly better image of the rumored Titan Class G1 Ark we had seen before.
