Max Nicholson of IGN posted a short interview with Transformers Director Michael Bay, bringing to light some more promises from the director that Transformers fans have come to be all too familiar with.
In the 4th installment of the live action Transformers series, Bay states this film will be "much more cinematic" and "won't [have] any goofiness." This is followed up with describing star actor Mark Wahlberg's character as a "wacky inventor."
Is bay throwing us off the scent again with his promise of no goofiness? Or is Age Of Extinction going to be a more serious film?
Check out the full interview after the jump and let us know what you think.

We have received next week's Diamond Comics Shipping list, and next Wednesday's comic releases are looking
Prime!
Next week brings us the concluding issue of the Transformers Prime Beast Hunters comic. Issue #8 sees the Dinobots get some help from a few familiar faces to stop the newest threat to Cybertron. Next week will also see the release of the Covenant of Primus, which delves into the deepest depths of the mythology of the Aligned Continuity to tell the story of the original 13 creations of Primus, and the backstory to the Transformers Prime series only hinted at in the show.
Last but not least, next week also brings the release of the Transformers Monstrosity trade paperback. This story follows on the events of the Autocracy miniseries and tells the story of the early days of the war for Cybertron in the IDW publishing continuity. Many thanks as always to D-Drive for the news tip.

There's not a better way to get your day started than with a brand new image of an Optimus Prime toy from Transformers: Age Of Extinction! Courtesy of TFW2005 board member, yizhi521, we have what appears to be a leaked image of an Optimus Prime toy from the new live action film.
At this time we only have the one image with the original source being unknown; we are unsure where the leak originated. It does appear to be different from the previous
Optimus Prime toy revealed at this year's New York Comic Con. Is this a new Leader Class figure? Voyager?
Check out the image after the jump and sound off on what you think of this reveal!

It's time for a triple dose of TakaraTomy Generations this morning, courtesy of (as usual)
Alfes' Toy Blog, where he has a posted galleries of TakaraTomy's take on the IDW
Bumblebee mold (with a more Goldbug-inspired color scheme, albeit one that doesn't use the "Goldfire" Goldbug headsculpt), as well as the two-pack release of
Trailbreaker and
Hoist. All three galleries feature numerous photos of these new releases, with comparisons with the Hasbro releases of the toys, as well as their Generation 1 counterparts for Hoist and Trailcutter.

TFsource has sent out a catalog for the holiday season and it contains some looks at new 3rd party unofficial Transformer products. First up, is the next project from Mastermind Creations. Terminus Rapidus will be a Quickswitch homage and has cleverly been teased before in the form of their "Steelian Scientist" teasers (
Cyclops,
Doctrinus Scope,
Physicus Tempest) which were all Mastermind Creations way of showing the various alternate modes. This doesn't mean these figures won't be released, just that Terminus Rapidus is most likely first. To top off this exciting news, Mastermind Creations has sent us a clear picture of the prototype!
Also shown in the
TFsource catalog is our first look at the individual images of Maketoys next combiner, Quantron. This is our first look at the individual vehicle modes of the groups next combiner homage of G1 Computron.

Rounding out our look at the Generations Deluxe IDW Comics Wave 3 is a look at
Skids! Skids is a talented Autobot - a theoretician by training, he is also an "outlier", an Autobot with an unusual talent, which in his case is the ability to learn at an exceptional speed. He was picked up by the crew of the Lost Light suffering from memory loss and joined their quest to search for the Knights of Cybertron. As such he is a very special toy, because not only is he the last of the 1984 and 1985 cars to get a Classics update, but he is also a member of the Lost Light crew, which are always welcome releases.
Skids is a really fun toy. He is not flawless, because he does have a bit of limited movement in his shoulders and his backpack does sometimes make him a little tricky to balance. But he also has a very sharp look, strongly conveying both the concept of an updated version of Generation 1 Skids and also capturing the feel of the character from the comic. He also has an absolute mountain of weaponry, including two double-barreled shoulder cannons, two shoulder mounted banks of missiles, 8 missiles per shoulder, twin lasers in each arm which swing out to either side of the wrist, plus liquid nitrogen rifle and the nudge gun. The latter two weapons can combine into a larger weapon. Almost all these weapons can tuck away as well, so Skids can be displayed in a nice variety of configurations.
All in all, Skids is a good release, and a lot of fun. He is very much the spirit of a Classics update of the original toy, and the sheer amount of guns makes for lots of posing options. If the shoulders had a little more freedom to move, he'd probably be perfect. Even so, with his wave now hitting US retail, I cannot recommend this one enough. He's worth hunting down and adding to your collection. Check out the gallery at the link below and see for yourself.
