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.

Check out the images after the break and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards.

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.

under Transformers Toy Gallery Updates

Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday have all come and gone here in the States, hopefully everyone had some good ones!  The holidays pushed back some galleries we had in the pipeline so today will start some catch up.  First up is the recently released MP-18+ Masterpiece Streak (Bluestreak).  This is the Anime / Cartoon inspired repaint of the original Masterpiece Bluestreak toy.  It features new heads, a more matte cartoon accurate color scheme and comes with additional laser effects.  Overall it’s a really sharp execution of the character so it comes down to your Masterpiece preference – toon or toy inspired.  Takara seems to be on a toon kick with recent releases so he will fit right in with MP-44, MP-45, MP-17+, MP-14+, MP-12+, MP-20+, and even Grapple, Inferno, Ratchet, Ironhide and Sunstreaker.  Read on to check out some key shots or hit the gallery link here to view the full gallery!

He’s in stock now and shipping from TFSource!

Masterpiece Releases: MP Anime Bluestreak, MP-44 Optimus Prime v3, MPM-8 Megatron, MPM-9 Jazz, MP Anime Smokescreen, MP BW Black Arachnia, MP Hound, Masterpiece Pre-Orders.

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.
