Via Italian marketplace site
Terminal Video Italia, we have a look at a transformation scheme for what we think might be a Three Step Changer Robots in Disguise Sideswipe.
The image comes from a listing for the Warrior class toys assortment, but the image shows a Sideswipe that transforms in three distinct and easy steps. Hence it seems to be showing us that a Three Step Changer Sideswipe has at the very least been designed as a concept, or more likely will be coming in a future assortment - we'd imagine it will be coming in Three Step Changers Wave 3.
One to watch for more information - it is entirely likely that the upcoming US Toy Fair will reveal all!

The newly-formed 3rd party garage kit company, GCI, has been hard at work for some additional weapons for the recently released
Mastermind Creations Fembots. This limited-run set of swords, named "Aster Blades," not only fit any standard 5mm port, but they also actually glow! The swords are priced at $24.99 for each pair, and have a limited release. You can click this news story for a detailed overview by GCI lead, TFW2005.COM's own Dr. Killinger and also in the ongoing discussion thread.
In addition to this product announcement, TFW2005.COM member autotronprime has given us a brief "behind the scenes" look at creating and designing things in
SolidWorks, a 3D CAD modeling program. autotronprime shares in the video different details about design and the rationale behind some of the design choices. You can watch the video after the jump!
Be sure to keep up with all of the plethora of third party items in our
Third Party Discussion Forum. Perhaps this productand the video inspire you to design you own work? You can get a good grasp on some design renders that our TFW2005.COM Fan Artists design in
our Fan Art forums and get some tips in
our Tutorials section! On occasion, artists will show off prototypes in
Radicons Customs as well! Perhaps YOU could be the next designer for an unofficial - or even official - project someday!

Rihappy we have a look at the next assortment of Angry Birds Transformers two-packs, which seems to consist solely of one set - Jazz VS Brawl! You might find this Jazz a little odd since he lacks the visor he sports in the Angry Birds Transformers game, but on the other hand, IDW also draw him visor-less in the Angry Birds Transformers comic.
Both figures in the set are retools / redecos of earlier releases - Jazz is a remolded Soundwave with a new head, while Brawl is a redeco of Bludgeon / Megatron. The set also features new branding as "Deceptihogs Revenge", tying in to the new update we posted information on yesterday.
Check out the new images attached to this post.

The next DeNA Transformers: Legends event; Rescue The King is now live.
This weeks event is based on Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron game by High Moon Studio.
SLUG and SNARL traverse the Sea of Rust, searching for their leader, the mighty GRIMLOCK. As they are about to give up on their search and look elsewhere, the group is suddenly set upon by HARDSHELL and the INSECTICONS.
The Lightning Strike Coalition put up a valiant fight, destroying many of their foes in the process, but in the end are captured by the overwhelming DECEPTICON forces. Shortly thereafter, they are brought before SHOCKWAVE and an unconscious GRIMLOCK.
Gesturing to their leader, SHOCKWAVE reveals to SLUG and SNARL that it was his plan all along to lure the Lightning Strike Coalition to him, so he could alter them to create new superweapons. With that, he begins his experiments on GRIMLOCK, the sounds of machinery filling the room.
Will the AUTOBOTS emerge unscathed and victorious, or will they be twisted by the alterations? What nefarious plans does SHOCKWAVE have for GRIMLOCK and his team? Find out on TRANSFORMERS Legends - “Rescue the King”!Read Replies (0)

"And away we go!"
Up next is our gallery of the
Combiner Wars Powerglide! A Legends class figure from the new Generations assortment, he just oozes personality and has a great look which is at once very faithful to the Generation 1 cartoon robot mode and an updated version of the vehicle mode.
Powerglide is a great little figure. He's got all the right articulation, lacking only elbow swivels, and has the bonus of a third weapon mode which can be wielded by any Transformer with a 5mm fist, such as the larger Combiner Wars figures and the massive combined robots.
One of the best in this new Legends class assortment, and very much deserving of a place in any Classics collection. Check out his gallery and see what you think:

Titanic discussion of Titan Devastator has been devastating our boards as of late(in a good way!). Will an upcoming yet to be seen Prowl form an optional head? Is this just a repainted Revenge Of The Fallen Devastator with wrecking balls? A G1 reissue marked up like the recent Platinum Insecticons at Kmart?
No official word, yet, on what Titan Devastator will be but catz has come through with information! Not just for Titan Devastator but for more G1 Platinum reissues! Note: some of the sets listed were seen recently such as the Insecticons and Conehead Seeker trio. Here's what catz' supplier relayed:
