A new third party group,
Voodoo Robots, has entered the scene of unofficial product by revealing what looks to be a masterpiece inspired Ratchet and Ironhide figure. Revealed earlier this week on their
Facebook page, we've got a good look at both the alternate and robot modes in the prototype stage, which shows off a very promising take on Ratchet's and Ironhide's G1 silhouettes.
No other information is available at this time, so stay tuned on the forum thread where we'll update you when info surfaces.

Here's a rarity - new toys we knew nothing about until they were found at retail! The Robots in Disguise cartoon toyline seems to be undergoing a mid-line shift to "Clash of the Transformers", and the first releases under this banner are some Legion class two-packs, which are branded as Toys R Us exclusives - and they are already out in Australia.
Via
Ozformers member Fatbot, we know that the first two two-packs are: Bumblebee VS Underbite, and
Optimus Prime VS Megatronus
Notably this is so far the only known way to get a Megatronus Legion class toy - though we'd not rule out a wider release down the line.

Thanks to fellow board member, ezim93, we have information that suggest that next month's
Loot Crate will
possibly contain Transformers-related merchandise. The theme for the box is Cyber which would make the raise the possibility of seeing Transformer stuff pretty high.

Last week we reported pretty big news announcing the writers that would be heading the spinoff movie projects for the Transformers cinematic universe. Today
Deadline is reporting that Ant-Man writers Andrew Barrer & Gabriel Ferrari are the latest writers brought into the brain trust. Deadline goes on to say "
one of the ideas in the works has a working title of Transformers One, and that it is more or less an origins story that takes place on Cybertron."
You may recall way back in 2010, we reported news of Hasbro filing a trademark for a certain
Transformers One.
More details: "
I’d also heard that this might be an animated feature, but that Barrer & Ferrari are also going to the writer’s room with the expectation they’ll write a live action Transformers movie, as well. Paramount insiders said that they haven’t gotten that far on the specific projects, but I am told this is the plan.Even though nothing has been 100% confirmed, what do you think of this possibility given the evidence we have before us?

Earlier this month, we got our first look at an upcoming repaint of
Generations Skids. The repaint was similar in style and color to a classic Diaclone repaint of the mold that became Generation 1 Skids. Now, thanks to the
New Transformers Archive, we have even more new pics.
In the new images, you can see that the vehicle mode paint apps are different than the previous photos. There are some other paint changes and additions as well. The figure is sporting a wildly different paint scheme on the head sculpt as well as some Decepticon symbols.
You can check out the new images after the jump.

Third party group Headrobots have ended a seemingly unending quiet period by way of having a new product go up for preorder! They are making an add-on set for the ToyWorld Infinitor - aka unlicensed Fortress Maximus - to give him his Master Sword from the Headmasters series, along with a version of the twin-barreled gun the original wielded. It's due in the third quarter 2015.
Preorders are now up at our sponsors:
Infinitor upgrade at Big Bad Toy StoreHeadrobots have also got their second Botcon 2014 Scorponok upgrade,
Green King Part 2, up for preorder. It's a set of accessories to bulk up the chest of Scorponok, and add the chromed leg shields of the original. It too is due in third quarter 2015.

Well look what we have here everyone! Yet another entry into the Astrotrain Wars! Spotted by
DaimChoc on Machine Boy's
WeiboThis time we have a look at Machine Boy's take on the Decepticon transport and uber train. Thus far this guy seems to take a lot of aesthetic cues from the G1 toy as opposed to the animation model but still looks five different types of fantastic, and better yet, preorders have already opened up on this bad boy. Preorder yours, take a look at the pics, and discuss, after the jump!

When the two Transformers: Combiner Wars posters
made their online debut, a lot of people were asking "Where can we get a physical copy of these?". 2005 Boards Member Soundbarricade may have the answer for you.
Earlier this month, an image was
leaked with a possible hint of a Superion Giftset release. On the boxart is the word "Included" followed by an image of the posters.
Of course the giftset is not confirmed at the moment but hopefully we'll get more news soon.
