In this special retrospective we’ll be looking back at Transformers Prime and discussing its legacy, what makes it so well remembered, and what newer Transformers series can learn from Transformers Prime.

Courtesy of Cybertron Phillipines we can share our first images of the content of the Transformers Prime 10th Anniversary 2-Pack.

We are sure many fans would be happy with the confirmation that this pack contains re-issues of the original Takara Tomy Arms Micron War Breakdown and Jet Vehicon which were never released in the US market. These figures later became one of the most hard-to-find and expensive Transformers Prime figures and considered holy grail for many Transformers Prime collectors.

The images show no visible differences compared to the original releases but we can’t spot the original Arms Micron/Minicons that were originally included. and while they are hard to spot, we can confirm that there’s a model tray behind the figures that confirms that the original Arms Micron/Minicon partners of the figures will have to be assembled like the original release. The original sticker sheet of the figures is also included too.

Update: Thanks to Eric John A. Cruz from Cybertron Phillipines we can add a picture of the Arms Micron model trays and the sticker sheet.

Check the images after the jump and the sound off on the 2005 Board!

Via Cybertron Phillipines Facebook Group we have our first images of what seems to be a Transformers Prime 10th Anniversary 2-pack.

This suggests that a new Transformers Prime anniversary line is coming with a Breakdown / Vehicon set, with Breakdown sharing his Takara-Tomy name as “War Breakdown”.

We still have no images of the content or the figures, just a closed box. It’s still unclear if these figures would be reissues, repaints or even just other molds with special deco. One of the images confirm the names but it also indicates that they are two Deluxes figures. What could this mean? Your guess is as good as ours.

We know many collectors have been waiting for a new chance to get Breakdown which became one of the most expensive and hard-to-find Transformers Prime figures. Stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates.

We’re sad to report that notable voice actor Keiji Fujiwara has passed away at the age of 55. According to Crunchyroll’s article, he passed due to cancer on April 12th and his agency made the announcement today. The article also states that he’s been fighting it off for some time.

For those unfamiliar with his work, he is known to many as the voice of Maes Hughes from Full Metal Alchemist [Brotherhood], Captain Hannes from Attack on Titan, Hiroshi Nohara from Crayon Shin-Chan, and the Japanese dub voice of Robert Downey Jr./Tony Stark from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. To the Transformers fandom however, he is known as Transformers Prime Megatron, Transformers Animated Grimlock, Beast Wars Dinobot, Micron Legend Devastator, and others. His career was vast with three decades of voice over work and countless lives enriched by the characters he portrayed, and he will be deeply missed.

The TFW2005 team offer Mr. Fujiwara’s family, friends, and colleagues our deepest condolences and wish them all peace and strength during this time of mourning.
