TFW2005 site sponsors BigBadToyStore and RobotKingdom have just put up preorders for the highly-anticipated MP-26 Masterpiece Road Rage figure, giving us our first look at her color scheme, alt-mode, and accessories. She is very faithful to her original Road Rage colors, with an alt-mode that, apart from presumably the colors, appears identical to Tracks'. As for her accessories, she will come with a mini Twincast boombox - the rebuilt form of Blaster (AKA Billy).
Get your preorders in here!

It seems that Wave 3 of the Combiner Wars Legends-class figures have been spotted at US retail at a Target in Anaheim California. This third wave of figures features Viper, Warpath, and Groove! Hopefully it won't be too long before these fantastic figures find their way to the shelves across the country.
Please feel free join in the discussion on these figures here on the boards.
A special thanks to TFW members
Sky Ray for informing us,
Shark Jumper for taking pictures, and
OCProwl for posting them.

I apologize in advance for any crude translations. Only so much you can glean from Google Translate.
Autobase Aichi posted a ton of photos from a Transformers Exhibition Tsunan Shopping Center in Japan. At the exhibition, they were giving away a
Transformers Adventure Special DVD. The DVD contains the first two episodes of the Transformers Adventure cartoon.
There was a special
Bumblebee Stage Event as well. There they had a quiz show, product demonstration and more hosted by a costumed Bumblebee. Those in attendance also had a photo opportunity with the Bumblebee.
The
exhibition itself had a nice Transformers display. They had figures and merchandise from G1, G2, Beast era, Micron Trilogy up to Transformers Adventure. The TF Adventure stuff consisted of items through their May releases.Included was a statue and vehicle exhibition, showcasing large scale Convoys, a movie Bumblebee car, etc.
Check out photos of the event by reading on.

Brian Savage has sent out an update regarding registration and hotel booking for Botcon 2015. The short version, registration will not go live this week, no new hotel blocks are available at Pheasant Run, and contrary to what was said on May 1st, there are unable to offer a second block of rooms at another hotel. Here's the full email:
Quote:
Hello Everyone!
We continue to work on the final issues to get registration online. This will not happen this week. I will update you next week. Now you don't have to worry about checking the site this week.
The hotel has told us that they are sold out and cannot add anymore rooms to our block. You will have to look for accommodations elsewhere if you don't have a room yet. We also cannot find a hotel in close proximity to the event to get a second block.
The good news is that the parking is free at the hotel for BotCon.
See you in St. Charles!
Brian
Botcon 2015 is June 18-21 in St. Charles, IL at the Pheasant Run Resort.

And another Unique Toys news drop! This time we have first pictures of their take on the leader of the Terrorcons, Hun-gurrr. Named Siegfried, we can finally see what this bad boy looks like in both beast mode, and robot mode. One thing we can see is that they took a very G1ish approach to his appearance. Special thanks to
daimchoc who struck once again with this news and
Unique Toys Club's Weibo
for providing the pictures. So what have you to say about the Unique Toys take on the Terrorcons? Let us know after the jump and check out those pictures!
Also, if you're looking to preorder, check out some of our sponsors who've already got preorders up for this guy, and

Boom! And the Third Party news barrage just keeps on coming! This time we have our first pictures of a testshot, or protoype of Unique Toys O-05 Hagen, their taken on Cut-Throat. Spotted by TFW2005 user daimchoc on the
Unique Toys Club's Weibo. While we have seen some early pictures of him in the past in some capacity, those were strictly in limb mode and this is our first gander of him in proper colors, and in robot and beast modes.
Take a look at the pictures and discuss after the jump, and those whom are looking to preorder this guy and finish out their Ordin/Abominus, check out our sponsors at TFSource and BigBadToyStore who've got their preorders already open!

Thanks to fellow board member, daimchoc, for finding these new images of WB-03D (Strafe) on Weibo's site;
Warbotron WB-03D.
WB-03D is Warbotron's take on G1 Strafe, and joins WB-03A Turbo Injector (Afterburner), in their ongoing take on the genius combiner, Computron. WB-03D is roughly the same height as Turbo Injector, and also seems to be able to form his own flight stand using his
sword!

Emphasis needs to be stated before we get too far into the report that this is a RUMOR, but a great one to speculate at for right now. TFW2005 member
Gepard forwarded us an image from /toy (original source unknown at this time), but an image that we can just barely make out what appears to be packaging art for a Combiner Wars Superion in G2 colors.
If you look closely in the cropped image mirrored, you can see one of Superion's thighs in blue and orange and his blue fists. Again, no word on where this image was taken so we have to emphasize this is a rumor.
Who wants to see this happen? Sound off with your thoughts and speculation after the jump!

The next DeNA Transformers: Legends event; Best Of Episode - Monstrosity, is now live. This is a rerun of the
original Monstrosity Event.
However, 2005 Boards members state that there is a technical difficulty preventing the players from entering the event and even dropping out of the final day of the previous event.
Best Of Episode - Monstrosity event description:
"While investigating a series of devastating, Decepticon coastal attacks, Ironhide and Fireflight witness a massive and terrifying creature rising from the oceans. The city-sized robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex named Trypticon now stalks the coast!
Rivaling the Autobots’ own Metroplex in sheer power, Trypticon begins a campaign to level Autobot Headquarters with the support of the Decepticons Rippersnapper, Cutthroat, and Blot. With Autobot Headquarters completely leveled, Trypticon sets his attention on Autobot City-and at the heart of Autobot City is Metroplex-who lies defenseless without his transformation cog.
The Autobots, knowing that only Metroplex stands a chance against Trypticon, race to deliver a new transformation cog to Metroplex before the rampaging, robotic, dino can stomp Autobot City and Metroplex into the ground. In order to defeat the Decepticon armies, Ironhide and Fireflight must wade through waves of Decepticon forces!"Read Replies (0)
