TheAgabyss we are slowly getting new in-hand photos of upcoming Transformers: Lost Age releases from Takara Tomy. These photos include our first looks at:
Protoform Optimus Prime, in G1 Colors
A metallic redeco of Battle Blades Bumblebee
Seemingly untouched rereleases of the upcoming Age of Extinction Deluxe Bumblebee and Crosshairs
Deluxe Dark of the Moon Starscream in his first movie colors
Dispensor, a Deluxe 2007 Movie Payload retool complete with Mounta- "Mood Wiplash" deco.
Hunt for the Decepticons Voyager Optimus Prime, in a metallic deco.
Legends Devastator from Revenge of the Fallen, in a Movie-Accurate Deco
TheAgabyss is seemingly slowly updating his Twitter as images come in, so this news post MAY be updated with new images as time goes on.
Word about these releases initially came up two months ago thanks to Takara-Tomy toy listings. This same sheet also mentioned redecoes of Dark of the Moon Deluxe Ratchet in Generation 1 colors and Dark of the Moon Jolt in ROTF Colors with movie-accurate whips.

Hot on
the previously-reported news from Shogu Hasui's Twitter page showing a silhouette teaser, a gray prototype image of the highly-anticipated
MP-21 - Masterpiece Bumble - surfaces by way of
Comic Toys' Facebook page. We get a look at both the robot and the alternate modes of Masterpiece Bumble. The photo shows us that the alt mode is a realistic representation of the fully-licensed Volkswagen Bettle, as opposed to a chibified toy alt mode that
the original Generation One toy represents. Also, a feature unknown until now is that the faceplate for Bumble is removable!
Along with this image is what appears to be a fully-transformable Exo-suit Spike figure, as seen from the 1986
The Transformers: the Movie! Certainly feel free to journey back to that scene with some of our screencaps of the scenes shared with these two here:
The Transformers: The Movie - Bumble[bee] and Spike Screencaps.
Now, it is a bit unclear as to whether or not the figure is actually Spike or his son, Daniel. However, the likelihood of Spike seems to be a bit higher, given his long friendship with Bumble[bee]. If you want to speculate further, jump on over to our
Masterpiece Speculation thread!

Here's an update for all of you Transformers Rescue Bots fans. Recently we reported on the titles and airdates of the initial six season 2 episodes, however there was an oddity with episodes 5 and 6 both seemingly being shown outside the show's normal timeslot.
Zap2it has now updated with new times for episode 5, A Virtual Disaster, and episode 6, Spellbound, which are now airing on 3/29/2014 and 3/22/2014, respectively (yes, they seem to be showing out of sequence - or maybe Zap2it just has them round the wrong way?)
In any case, here is what the list of upcoming episodes and their airdates looks like:
3/08/2014 One for the Ages - This Saturday!
3/15/2014 Tip of the Iceberg
3/22/2014 Spellbound
3/29/2014 A Virtual Disaster

Transformers Dioramas on Facebook has revealed one of the store exclusive items coming this summer as a part of the Transformers Age of Extinction toyline.
What we have for you here is a look at an "evolutions" two-pack, taking characters appearing in Transformers Age of Extinction and bundling them with toys from past Transformers toy lines to represent the characters as they appeared in Generation 1; which is also a great 30th anniversary celebration. The set we have a look at here is Grimlock, and it's a Toys R Us Exclusive.
In this set we have two Grimlocks. The "then" half of the equation is the Transformers Energon Grimlock, representing the original Grimlock likely due to the prohibitive cost and mold quality of the Generation 1 original. The "now" half of the evolution is the new Generations Age of Extinction Voyager Grimlock mold. The packaging has a particularly cool effect where the tray behind the original toy features the classic Generation 1 grid and gradient style - even the Autobot logo as it appeared on the original boxes.
This is not the first time that the evolution of a Transformer has been collected as a store exclusive set - in 2008, there was a "Legacy of Bumblebee" set which did the same for three Deluxe Bumblebees from Classics, Animated and Movie series. We also know that from the leaked upcoming toy list from Hasbro that there are some more "Then and Now" evolution sets planned, including Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Slug / Slag and Strafe / Swoop.

Is your life in danger from the alien robots? Have you seen any Transformers activity? Call 855-363-8392.If you enjoyed the
Teaser Trailer for Transformers: Age Of Extinction, you may have noticed a phone number to call (the phone number above, to be exact) on a billboard stating "Remember Chicago". If you called that number you'll receive an automatic reply, followed by a website to visit:
transformersaredangerous.com.
This is the Viral Marketing Campaign for Transformers 4. It's common for movie to do so nowadays and the previous Transformers movies also did such campaigns.
For now, we are only treated with a poster stating "Transformers Are Dangerous". But we will see more stuff in the coming future leading up to the release of the movie on June 27th.
Check back here at TFW2005 for more info.

Thanks to 2005 Boards members SydneyY for the translation and Type-R for the original scan, we have the opportunity to read the full text of the interview with Shogo Hasui from the April issue of Figure-oh magazine. Besides some of the details previously translated from this interview, there's a lot of interesting new information here, including:
why they decided against light-up ears for Wheeljack
details of Wheeljack's transformation
hints about Bumblebee as the next MP and why he was chosen to be paired with Wheeljack
It's a really fascinating read and you can read the whole thing after the jump.
