Before this week gets too insane, with the New York Toy Fair event coming up this weekend, we here at TFW2005 have one last Wonder Festival 2014 story to share with you.
First off, we would like to post a correction to an earlier story:
The recently revealed silhouette from the CMs Corps booth at Wonder Festival was not actually Deathsaurus, according to
Autobase Aichi. The silhouette is
actually of the titular robot Acrobunch from the 1982 anime series
Makyo Densetsu Acrobunch, and therefore not an actual Transformers character or product. Many apologies to any members out there who may have gotten their hopes up and subsequently smacked back down.
Secondly, we have a bunch of high resolution photographs of many of the Transformers related products at the Wonder Festival event, including clearer shots of Ultimetal Optimus Prime, Fewture Statues of Optimus Prime, Alpha Trion and Grimlock, the GIANT Unicron head statue and more- Including previously revealed EM Gokin and ES Gokin Roadbusters, Sentinel's non-transforming articulated G1 Scorponok, a Garage Kit of Optimus Prime with Matrix and a Super Deformed Fortress Maximus garage kit!
Special thanks to personal friend
WondAnon for doing me a favor and taking these photos specifically for our coverage.

Nelson; the admin of Michael Bay Official Website has
"hinted" that the Theatrical Trailer for Transformers: Age Of Extinction will be
"ready" next month. He has told this while
answering that the scenes from the Superbowl Spot were not in a chronological order.
"That trailer is not in chronological order. Rumor has it the theatrical trailer will be ready in about a month or so."For Transformers: Dark Of The Moon by this time last time, a Teaser Trailer and 2 TV Spots were already released. Which were then followed by the Theatrical Trailer late April.
If the AOE Theatrical Trailer will release in March, it's a bit tough to guess a movie it will release with. 300: Rise of an Empire is a certified 3D, 2D and IMAX movie... however its R rating may not capture younger audience. Next possible candidates being Need For Speed and Muppets: Most Wanted.
What do you think? If the trailer will indeed be released in March, which movie will accompany it? Leave your thoughts, at the thread associated with this news post.

Thanks to the
Twitter feed of TF YUKI we have some in-hand images of the Takara Generations figures of Waspinator (TG30) and Rhinox (TG31).
The Takara versions of these fan favorite figures feature a more metallic and glossy finish to the decos, including a very slick looking paint job on Rhinox's weapons which gives them show accuracy.
Check out the images after the jump and let us know if you're holding out for the Takara versions!

As the
Wonder Festival 2014 Coverage begins to slow down for Transformers, we get to the strangest possible story from tonight.
Teased a while back via Takara Tomy's webpage, the long teased shadow of a possible Megatron toy in their upcoming Takara Tomy ARTS toyline has been revealed to be something quite strange indeed: A Transforming Sega Mega Drive (Or Sega Genesis, for North American readers) that turns into a Generation 1 Megatron.
No, that's not a typo, and no you're not hallucinating.
Part of a partnership with SEGA, this upcoming release is part of a subline of Takara Tomy ARTS alongside Video Game Robotics HD and Microman Arts, and while the prototype itself is extremely rough, a recently placed sign by staff members working the display has revealed that the upcoming Transformers Crossovers/Device Label-esque toy will in fact transform from Sega Mega Drive to Megatron.
It is unknown if this toy is a one-shot release, or if this is merely a harbinger of what is to come into this fledgling toyline (One would hope an OptiSNES Prime would be there to combat Mega Drive Megatron) but stay tuned to TFW2005 as we bring you the latest (and sometimes strangest) news as it happens.

The news just keeps on coming from the currently ongoing Wonder Festival 2014 in Japan, this time via CMs Corp who not only have on display their previously released
Gutto Kuru Minerva and
previously revealed Spike and Daniel Witwicky with Exo-Suits, but a teaser image of an upcoming release with a silhouette that resembles none other than Deathsaurus (Or Deathzarus or Deszarus or...
look, he's got a lot of names.) from Transformers: Victory. It is not currently known how or what this teaser is foreshadowing, other than the possibility of Deathsaurus.

While the New York Toy Fair isn't until next week (and believe us, the TFW2005 Network will have you covered on that), Wonder Festival is currently going on in Japan, and while Takara Tomy isn't showing anything from the main Transformers lines, there are still plenty of new Transformers products to be found.
First off, Art Storm/Fewture Models (aka the guys who made that insanely detailed and expensive UltiMetal Optimus Prime) have shown off some new products: Namely, statues (At least as far as we know these are statues) of Grimlock, Optimus Prime, and Alpha Trion! They are also showing a GIANT Unicron Head replica, and Super Deformed toys of Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime, topped off with their previously mentioned UltiMetal Optimus Prime.
Stay tuned to TFW2005 as we bring you more Wonder Festival 2014 news as it goes live.

Here is something for the little kids. Montco Crafts will be
manufacturing Pop-Outz based on the Transformers Franchise.
These "Pop-Outz" are small color activity boards which the kids can
"pop-out" after coloring and use them as standees.
The company has manufactured them before, but going forward the product line will carry out the new Transformers Product Packaging.

Thanks to an
eBay auction by delicateangel01, we have with us some images of Transformers: Age Of Extinction Bumblebee Arm Cannon Prototype.
This prototype is a part of Disguise Costumes' Halloween 2014 product line and is titled Bumblebee Deluxe Light And Sound Cannon. According to the sticker on the back of the packaging, this is a handmade prototype but thanks to the packaging, we have a general idea on the color scheme as well.
The prototype is sold out on eBay for $31.

Earlier today we brought you the image of Transformers: Age Of Extinction Optimus Prime’s Flat-Nose Truck Robot mode.
Now, it is our pleasure to reveal Transformers: Age Of Extinction Bumblebee 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Robot Mode.
The image comes courtesy of Disguise, but it was so small that we had to enlarge it to get a better look.
Checkout the image, after the jump.
