Via
Taghobby, we have our first look at Masterpiece Star Saber in color! While it's a small image, it shows us how the big guy is going to look once he is finished - and he looks awesome!
In addition, this new information confirms that Star Saber will be MP-24, and will be released in March 2015 priced 18,000 yen.
Separately, the
TFYuki twitter account has tweeted a new image showing Star Saber in a stoic pose - what's notable about this image is it shows there is some real movement in those shoulders.
Check out both images attached to this story!

After a quiet couple of weeks following the launch of the public beta, Jagex have updated their Transformers Universe Facebook page with some new teaser images.
First up is a look at
a look at a new Decepticon, who we believe is named Pandemic. He sports a nifty purple and gold color scheme, perhaps with a tank alternate mode - and judging by the ground about his feet, he might fight using some kind of tentacles or vines. Or maybe it's just a fancy effect.
Next up is someone we all know -
Megatron! More specifically, this is Jagex's take on Megatron, who seems to be on the "warrior" end of the spectrum, a Decepticon marked with wounds of a dozen battles and untroubled by any of them. His design seems to bring in a bit of inspiration from the War for Cybertron designs - check it out!

Next up in our series of gallery updates, we have a look at the Fan-built 'bot herself,
Windblade! She's billed as "the first fan-built bot" as well as being the 30th in the series of 30 special edition releases to commemorate 30 years of Transformers. She's also something quite rare in modern Transformers - a complete new character rather than a homage or a reference to someone in the past lore.
Windblade has evidently had a lot of time spent on her toy. From her detailed paint apps to her sword complete with scabbard and removable fan in her "hair", Windblade really does live up to the billing of being a bit special. She's got a cool design with a few nice touches, including the ability to angle her VTOLs forward, the aforementioned removable fan, and the sword, which can be sheathed in a scabbard with a variety of different posing options. The scabbard has tabs on either side which can fit into any of the "cuts" for the swivel joints as well as groves on the jet nosecone, so Windblade can wear her sword on her back, her hip, and so on. The scabbard also has a 5mm handgrip allowing you to do some nifty poses involving Windblade drawing her sword - we quickly found she could do a lot of fun samurai poses.
We really like Windblade and hope that we can see more toys with her standard of design, detail and "nice touches" come along soon enough. Check out our gallery and see if you agree:

The Toys R Us exclusive
Optimus Prime Evolution 2 pack which was sighted in Hong Kong earlier this month, has now surfaced stateside. 2005 boards member C130 Ginrai spotted this set in a Toys R Us in Tustin, California.
This set features
Optimus Prime(Evolutions Then) using the Classic 2006 mold. Meanwhile
Optimus Prime(Evolutions Now) uses the Evasion Mode Optimus Prime mold. Unlike the initial stock photos however, the Classics Optimus here now features painted yellow eyes. Meanwhile Evasion Optimus no longer has the battle mask head sculpt.
Happy hunting!

We've got another new Generations toy to share a look at with you today! The next wave of Generations will shortly be arriving at US retail and one of the four new toys being released in the new assortment will be
Jhiaxus!
Generations Jhiaxus is the second time that the main antagonist of the 12 issue Marvel Transformers Generation 2 series has got a toy, but this is the first one to have been molded to look like his comic incarnation - that said, he's got the colors of his previous toy release, a store exclusive in the Robots in Disguise line. Either way, it's the first time Jhiaxus has has a mass retail, non-exclusive release!
Jhiaxus is a remold of the Generations Armada Starscream, an extensive remold that sees him gain not only a new head but a completely reworked chest / upper torso, jet nosecone, wings, tailfins and weapons. A new transformation step is also added, with the nose of the jet now folding into the chest instead of just hanging in front of the robot's waist. There's plenty of details in the design too, though the bright orange colors - and it really is a garish shade - does make it hard to properly appreciate the level of detail worked in.
Check out our gallery and see what you think!
