Let's continue the Transformers Collector's Club news with some more in-hand images of upcoming figures, this time from the third installment of the Transformers Subscription Service. Once again the
eBay seller lena81822 has put up an auction for a loose Carzap figure. Also, TFW2005 boards member c
obra zartan has linked us to even more images of both Carzap (who we see packaged in plastic bags) and Krok! We can't be absolutely sure if these are final, but if history repeats itself these are likely what fans will be receiving.
Are these going to be the first two figures released for TFSS 3.0? Stay tuned!

Following the success of the first Michael Bay Live Action Transformers Movie back in 2007, Hasbro worked with movie studios around the world to bring your childhood toys into the big-screen. From toys such as G. I. Joe to board games like Battleship and Ouija, Hasbro is a live action movie machine with more live action movies such as Jem And The Holograms and Candyland down the pipeline.
It so happens that TFW2005 has stumbled upon another possible live action movie and a toyline from Hasbro. Once rivals of the Transformers Franchise, Gobots became the property of Hasbro when they acquired Tonka; the original creators of Gobots.
On January 21st and on January 24th, Hasbro has applied for a new Go-Bots trademark (this is not a renewal) under "
distribution of motion pictures, ongoing television programs" and "
Toys, games and playthings, namely, toy vehicles and accessories for use therewith".

The Maketoys website updated earlier this morning to announce a new line of transforming robots: The RE:MASTER SERIES. This line is being speculated by our members as being a fit into the current line of Masterpiece styled Transformers, a trend that is taking the third party collecting world by storm. From Maketoys:
"Re:master " , in a time where scale is everything.....Re:master is a new series to bring a new twist, new gimmicks, and maybe even a new scale to the world of transforming robots. An instant classic to an already bright and vibrant world of robots, we hope Re:master will have a place in everyone's hearts......and on their shelves!No physical prototypes are available yet, but Maketoys showed off three blacked out silhouettes, and although we all would love to see a product shown off in full for the reveal this news is still exciting enough given the characters announced:
RM-01 Cupola (Chromedome),
RM-02 Gun Dog (Hound),
RM-03 Hellfire (Inferno). Click on the individual links to take you to TFW's discussion thread of each figure.
So what do you think of Maketoys apparent entrance into Masterpiece scaled third party figures? Excited for the characters? Let us know what you think!

TFW2005 boards member griffin-of-oz has brought something interesting to our attention today -
Bidoofdude of Ozformers.com reportedly wrote to Hasbro asking if Generations Legends Gnaw with Gnash and Brawn with Mudslinger would still be released. We had last heard of these figures before via leaked listings, but we haven't heard of them since, leading to some speculation that they may have been cancelled. However, Hasbro responded that they are indeed still planned to come out, and will be released some time in 2015, likely as part of the Combiner Wars line-up.
You can read the exchange below:
I've noticed that the Generations Legends Class figures for this year skip numbers #11 through #17. Is there a reason for this? Is it related to the listed Legends Brawn with Mudslinger and Gnaw with Gnash that seemingly didn't happen?
Could we be seeing Brawn (and less importantly, Gnaw) as a Legends figure in the Combiner Wars toyline in the coming year, as he is the only 1984 minibot without a figure yet?To which Hasbro responded with:
There are plans for the distribution of these characters in 2015, unfortunately I do not have an exact date of arrival.Take this with a grain of salt for now, but if true, we could very likely be seeing these figures at rapidly-approaching New York Toy Fair.

Sharp eyed board member iOnlyEatEnergon noticed that 3A has released their
Dark of the Moon Megatron Lookbook, which includes some teaser images of their upcoming Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime figure.
3A creates highly detailed and incredibly articulated action figures based on the Dark of the Moon movie characters.
Optimus was originally scheduled for reveal in January and looks to be completed, so look for a product announcement soon.

The third party group BadCube just seems to be on a roll these days and have no intentions of slowing down. Revealed a little earlier today on their
Facebook page is yet another project entry in their Old Timer Series, this time showing off prototype images of their Insecticon homages of Claymore, Hypno, and Kickbutt! These figures look to continue the Masterpiece styled trend of figures BadCube seems to be hitting their stride with.
No release date or preorder info is up just yet, but keep it locked here and we'll update you when that becomes available.
