And now for something completely different.
Earlier this month,
we ran a story about a promotion that High Moon Studios and Ford Australia ran on their Facebook page, asking fans to help create the first Australian-created Transformer.
And now, the result of the promotion has been revealed, via the gaming website
Player Attack, with art of the Australian Autobot known as Falcatron, who turns into a Cybertron-inspired Falcon XR6 Turbo Sedan. As announced and confirmed in the prior news story, this will be only a piece of concept art and there no plans to add this to the game through DLC.

3rd party group, Perfect Effect have updated their
blog with teases for two upcoming products. The first, a remold release of their popular Scouting Force X. This time around, the three camera-bots will be given a Generation 1 toy color scheme and new parts such as the chests and heads. The figures also get new names; Vanguard, Sniper and Cannonier . So far, it seems that these may be a Japanese fan convention,
transfunket, exclusive, but that's not confirmed just yet. We'll update as more info becomes available.
Also teased is PE-DEX02 shown in cycle mode. This upcoming figure will be a Black Arachnia inspired motorcycle bot and may be an extensive remold of their PE-DX01 Motobot. This figure has been
previously teased before, but hopefully new images and information will be available shortly.

Photos have emerged at
ACTOY.net, showing
Masterpiece Lambor/Sideswipe out of package and in-hand. The photos aren't big, but they are clear and convey an excellent sense of what we can expect from the final retail product. The packaging is compact, follows the standard Takara Masterpiece format, and displays the Lamborghini logo prominently.
MP-12 is due out towards the entire of this year.

For our latest gallery update, we're sharing with you a selection of galleries of the Japanese Transformers Prime Arms Micron series. The Arms Micron toys are pretty awesome variations on what we see in the US for the toy line - in place of the accessories of the US releases, you get model kits to assemble into little Targetmaster style partner "Arms Micron" figures, who can attach to the larger robots in a variety of ways, thanks to additional hardpoints added to the toys. It's an interesting (and probably totally unintentional) homage to the Transformers Armada series, which is 10 years old this year!
On to the galleries, we've got a motley crew of toys to share pictures of with you, courtesy of 2005 Boards Photo Staff member SydneyY and also a pair from Sol Fury! Check them out by opening the links below - we've got pictures of the Japanese market exclusive Skywarp, the Arms Micron versions of Optimus Prime, Ratchet and the Vehicon, plus the First Edition series remolds that were released for the Arms Micron line, Terrorcon Cliffjumper and Megatron
