Japanese Publisher Hero-X had announced a new 2020 edition of popular Transformers Generations Book. Now, we can share for you the cover of the upcoming book.

Here X have tweeted our first look at the amazing cover art of this book courtesy of veteran Transformers artist Kazumasa Yasukuni who has previously worked in several E-Hobby comics and the Japanese IDW Transformers covers. This is an amazing cover featuring the current and upcoming Transformers figures for the Japanese market and we can even spot Skids on the picture. Remember that we have a new Masterpiece Skids incoming this year.

The Transformers Generations book 2021 is scheduled for release in 13 May, 2021 for the Japanese market and it’s available for pre-order via Amazon.jp. Click on the bar to see the mirrored art and then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Via Kremzeek Reviews, we have our possible first look at Transformers Kingdom Galvatron.

The image was originally posted on Instagram, but it was taken down shortly. Fortunately, a small screenshot was shared via other internet sources. We have a look at Galvatron’s legs and torso revealing what seems to be a detailed and cartoon-accurate design. Unfortunately, the head and cannon were not shown. This figure was rumored to be a Leader class figure, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates and the official reveal.

Update: Via Autobase Aichi we can share a second pic showing Galvatron’s legs.

It’s time for our usual new sightings from the globe, courtesy of 2005 Board members. This week, Kingdom Ultra Magnus arrives to Hong Kong, more Kingdom toys plus the new Afterlife Ectotron have hit shelves in Malaysua and Studio Series 86 toys arrive to Russia.

Happy hunting, one and all!

under Rescue Bots, Transformers Sightings

A Walmart listing gives us a look at a new Transformers Rescue Bots Academy Monster Truck Optimus Prime figure.

This is a new 4.5-inch Optimus Prime action figure which transforms from a robot to an all-terrain monster truck in just one easy step. There’s still not much information about this figure and his respective wave, but some Ebay listings show some Rescue Bots Academy repacks of other previous molds.

Update: Courtesy of griffin-of-oz we can confirm that this figure is part of Rescue Bots Academy Rescan Wave 8. According to an Entertainment Earth listing, Optimus is the only new mold together with repacks of Rock Crawler Bumblebee, F1 Heatwave, Cement Mixer Salvage, VTOL Whirl and Helicopter Blades.

Not even four hours after images of the next wave of Wal-Mart exclusive deluxe WFC figures in packaging surfaced do we have our first sighting of them! Twitter users @Wheeljack64 and @Queenstodge have posted in store pictures of Cheetor, Deep Cover, Sparkless Bot and Deseeus Army Drone in their local Walmart in Long Island, NY.

on Monday, preorders for new Walmart exclusives are set to go live on their website. These new Netflix figures are likely to among those preorders. But given this sighting, we may be looking at a potential street date as well?

If you find these new figures please post on the 2005 Boards!

under Beast Wars, Generations / Classics

On the heels of yesterday’s Netflix War for Cybertron reveals of Optimus Primal with Rattrap and the Sparkless Seeker, thanks to Autobase Aichi on Twitter, we now have a glimpse at the next wave of deluxes from the line in their new packaging which follows Kingdom in suit with the cardboard inserts rather than the plastic ones. In addition, we also have the big reveal of Netflix Deep Cover! However, this Deep Cover has a new look to him with his blue and black reversed, battle damage added, and police badge decals removed. The wave also consists of Cheetor, who sports a bit more of a toon-accurate paint job, the Quintesson drone from the Siege Ironhide mold, and the Sparkless Bot from the Siege Smokescreen/Barricade mold.

No release info on these guys yet, but check out the pics in the meantime and share your thoughts in the discussion below!
