Via the
Planet Iacon Facebook page, we have our first full look at Takara's version of Superion, the first in their new Unite Warriors line (Takara's version of Hasbro's Combiner Wars). As many had been speculating, he does indeed include the missing member of the Aerialbots, Slingshot, rather than his replacement Alpha Bravo. Slingshot, as many had also been speculating, appears to be a retool/redeco of Firefly. Superion himself seems like he will be sold as a gift set, being labelled as "UW-01". The individual Aerialbots feature many deco differences from their US counterparts for increased G1-accuracy, also with Superion possessing white hands and feet rather than the black ones of the US release.
Also featured is our first look at Takara's version of Robots in Disguise Warrior/Deluxe Bumblebee, who looks to be largely unchanged from his Hasbro release.

Ever since All Hail Megatron, IDW's version of Thundercracker has been one of the most interesting characters in the Transformers comics, and it's a depiction that's earning him not one but two new toys this year. Today we're taking a look at the smaller of the two, the
Legends class Thundercracker.
This Thundercracker is based on the F-22 design that was designed by E.J. Su for IDW, back when IDW took up the reins on the comics, and it's a straight-up redeco of the excellent Legends class Starscream mold that was released in early 2014. It's a mold that features a simple but pleasing transformation, and a decent range of articulation. The deco is excellent, and arguably works far better on this toy than it did on Starscream.
While not as awesome as Powerglide or Bombshell, this Thundercracker is an excellent example of how to do a redeco. Legends class Skywarp to finish the Seeker trio, please, Hasbro?
Check out the gallery at the link below and see what you think of this fun toy:

This one is a bit of a mystery, so take it as a rumor for now.
TV listings including
Zap2it and
LocateTV are listing that the next four all-new episodes of Transformers Rescue Bots are all set to air on 1 February. Four episodes, back to back, starting at 7am, if this is to be believed.
The four episodes listed are Season 3 Episode 11 Did you see what I thaw?, 12 The Attack of Humungado, 13 Thieves Like Us and 14 Time After Time.
Take this as you find it - the listings on Zap2it are unclear on the latter three episodes, and we have reports that at least one fellow fan is seeing the first four episodes in these slots on their DVR. But if you're a Rescue Bots fan, you may want to set these up to record, just in case new episodes do show up at the given times.

Further to our earlier report, Beyond Home Entertainment has now confirmed that they will be releasing a
complete Season 1 DVD boxed set for Transformers Rescue Bots. The set collects all 26 episodes of the show's first season, and is expected to be released on 2 March 2015.
Beyond Home Entertainment has also posted a listing for a DVD "
Serve and Protect", which is also due to be released on 2 March 2015, and is expected to feature 7 episodes, based on the DVD's runtime of 154 minutes. It's thought that these will be the first seven episodes of the show's second season, given that Beyond are releasing DVDs with the show's entire run in order.
US fans, you may wish to find a way of importing these if you want the whole run of Transformers Rescue Bots on DVD, as Shout! Factory have announced they have no plans to do complete season boxed sets for the US.
