Recently,
we reported of images of the Transformers Cloud Optimus Prime and Megatron figures. Now, official images have surfaced of these figures. These figures are exclusive to
the new Transformers Cloud: Guardians of Time collaboration venture with e-Hobby and TakaraTomy Mall. The availability of the exclusives are split between both companies, as TFC-A01 Optimus Prime figure is
available exclusively from TakaraTomy Mall while TFC-D01 Megatron is
available through e-Hobby.
The photos have been mirrored here, and you can check those out after the jump, as you can even see a few photos of Prime and Megatron locked in struggle! Notably, Optimus' wind vane/rifle is painted black and sports a silver Autobot symbol on the top. Also, his thighs appear to be a light gray or white, mimicking the Generation One cartoon design a bit more than previous releases. Megatron also sports a color scheme very reminiscent of his Generation One cartoon counterpart.
If you missed your chance to pick up either a
Classics Optimus Prime,
Henkei Convoy, or a
GDO Megatron, you can take advantage of ordering these for ¥ 5,940 each (roughly around $59 USD).

Amazon has listed a new pre-order page for
"Transformers Armada - The Complete Series". As per
TVShowsonDVD, the distributor is
Gaiam Americas which also does distribution for Shout! Factory. Shout! is the company that does most of the current Transformers dvd/blu-ray releases now. If you missed out on Transformers Armada back when Rhino put them out last decade, this could be your chance to pick the series up minty fresh, if it pans out of course.

Fan favorite 3rd party company, Fansproject, has updated
their website with new pictures of their next figure in their Warbot line - Revolver. This unofficial Roadbuster was previously revealed at this years
TFcon. He will sport the Wreckers orange and green color scheme and the weapons will be able to connect to the figure or his vehicle mode in whatever manner fans want. This figure will also be one of their Heartmaster figures, similar to their previous release
Steelcore. The Heartmaster figure, which is more or less a Powermaster engine, plugs into the back of Revolver as opposed to his chest.
Check out all the new images after the jump!

Entertainment Tonight (ET) has aired Part 2 of their Transformers: Age Of Extinction Special and it's off to Hong Kong.
Again, the report seems to confirm few names from the movie, but this time they are humans:
"However, setting up the many explosions, while also simultaneously dealing with distractions from onlookers, leaves the cast with plenty of downtime. When Mark Wahlberg wasn't giving Rocsi tips on how to throw football, he and Jack Reynor were up to no good playing pranks on Nicola Peltz.
"We got Wild Weave Wednesdays...when Mark and I rip out Nicola's weave every Wednesday," shared Reynor (Shane), who plays Peltz's (Tessa) boyfriend in the fourth installment of the Transformers live-action film series."But it's Director Michael Bay who caught our attention, when he reveals a Plot Secret from the upcoming movie.
Spoiler!
Spoiler!
"The world has progressed/modernized to a point it can almost cannibalize and kill itself."

Earlier today, Takara-Tomy officially announced the winners of their Masterpiece Fan's Choice poll. The votes are in and counted, and Star Saber from Transformers Victory won with over 30% of the vote.
As suggested earlier today by Figure King's own poll, Transformers Armada Optimus Prime won second place, with 24% of the vote, and Super Ginrai from Chojin Masterforce took third, with a little over 18% of the vote. Dai Atlas and Super Fire Convoy, from Transformer Zone and Transformers Car Robots respectively, took the fourth and fifth places.
The other headline item is that Hisashi Yuki is leading on the Masterpiece Star Saber project, rather than the usual Masterpiece designer, Shogo Hasui - so the creation of Masterpiece Star Saber will not derail the other ongoing Masterpiece releases.
Takara-Tomy have uploaded the whole video where they announce the winners to their Youtube channel - check it out embedded below. Some designs are shown during the run of the video - please be aware these are the designs of the original Star Saber and not the new Masterpiece version!

By way of this magazine scan from Figure King #190, we have our first look at the upcoming Transformers Cloud exclusives. The Optimus Prime as anticipated is very much his traditional colors, although this time with white upper legs rather than silver, and the black windvane has the Autobot logo stamped on it. He appears to have a chromed grill and bumper in truck mode, but it might be the quality of the image.
The Megatron on the other hand is all done in pale grey and at first glance almost looks like an unpainted resin prototype, were it not for the black on the treads and waist armor, and red on the side bumpers. A closeup of his headsculpt is shown, which seems to be the same sculpt as the GDO Megatron, although being done in white means that the angles of the face seem smoother in this photograph, giving the face a rather unsettling quality.
The scan also has a brief new look at the Transformers Go! black version of Thundertron / Leo Prime, who is sporting a very Zoids Blade Liger look in beast mode with the swords pegged into his sides in beast mode.
Last but not least, we are informed that this magazine also has the results of a fan poll on the next Masterpiece toy. Winning this fan poll is Star Saber, followed by Armada Optimus Prime in second, God Ginrai in third, then Dai Atlas and Super Fire Convoy. Fortress Maximus ranked last. Will this be the same as the final results, posted later today? Join in that speculation in the
Masterpiece Fans Choice Winner Thread!
