The LEGOformers: Ultra Hexacon and Tetragon, the transforming Nintendo 64 and controller (Soundwave and Scorponok respectively), along with their transforming game pack minions Hot-Shot, and Mecha Kong (Frenzy and Rumble) were all created for the Toy Brick Contest held this summer by Baron von Brunk.
"These original LEGO models are made in near-perfect size and proportions to authentic N64 components, and can transform completely and by 'transform completely' I mean each robot can transform from N64 accessory to robot and back without detaching/removing parts, with the exception of Tetragon’s controller cord," said the New York based artist on his Instructables page.
"Ultra Hexacon is to this date, my most durable and articulated Transformer model built, with great flexibility and joint strength; he can also stand and be posed without falling over or having pieces break off. With the exception of the custom stickers/labels, every single piece in these toys are 100% LEGO — bricks, plates, slopes, tiles, wedges, and Technic parts. No glue, paint, cutting, nor 3rd party custom pieces.".Thought we’d share this since it's on the news. You can check out more cool stuff and a gallery of Ultra Hexacon and Tetragon at Mr. Brunk’s
Instructables page.

A new image of Transformers FJ Cruiser Optimus Prime had gone up yesterday on DSK3's
Twitter page. The image is actually a concept art for the upcoming toy.
Update: The FJ Cruiser Optimus Prime image is from a magazine titled Best Gear. Autobase Aichi has
posted some scans of the magazine and it proves that the image is just a Concept Art for the remote-controlled toy shown at the Tokyo Toy Show.

Transformers Prime may have ended, but the action lives on with the Transformers Prime toys! For this next gallery we are looking back to where it all started with the Transformers Prime First Edition series. This First Edition two pack depicts Optimus Prime and Megatron's rivalry. It was the only way to get
Megatron in the First Edition toy line, and also features a Deluxe class
Optimus Prime and PVC figures of the Autobots human friends
Jack, Raf and Miko.
The set is a great and fun one. The Optimus Prime is a good solid Deluxe, although his aesthetics are a little weird, particularly his hands. He however sports some nice solid articulation and is lots of fun to play about with. Megatron is the star of the set, pulling off an excellent show-accurate look for the Decepticon leader and managing it without any overtly obvious vehicle parts hanging off his back - a real accomplishment all things considered. He's the best version of Prime Megatron designed in this fan's opinion. The PVC figures of the humans are nice, though they all lack a few paint apps compared to the show models (most notably Miko's highlights are absent) but they are a nice complement to any Prime collection.

It was just few days ago we
reported of a new casting for Transformers 4. This was Victoria Summer joining the cast.
Later, reports came in that her character will act as an Assistant to Kelsey Grammer; the
main human villain of TF4 named Harold Attinger.
However, popular news reporter Jeff Sneider
tweeted that Victoria Summer will not be playing the role of Kelsey Grammer's Assistant. Furthermore, her role is said to be kept under wraps leading into speculation that she may have a role more than just a minor character.

This post contains a little bit of spoilers… so you are warned.
Going back to the news, a new car has been
spotted on the Transformers 4 Set. Currently, we do not know whether this Saleen S7 will appear as a Cybertronian or just a background prop.
Moving onto possible spoilers:
Images from the set suggest Mark Wahlberg’s character piloting what looks like a Decepticon ship from Transformers: Dark Of The Moon. This ship was seen being transported not too long ago.
Also, Jack Reynor and other cast members; Nicola Peltz, T.J. Miller were seen running away from the Sonic RS. Some speculate the Sonic RS may be trying to protect the civilians.
Only time can tell. You can discuss these new developments with your fellow Transformers Fans over at the thread associated with this news post.

The
Transformers Collectors Club announced plans for their 2nd Subscription Service and started teasing figures. Check out the details below, and shots of the first figure Treadshot (black redeco of Generations Warpath mold).
Quote:
After the great success of the Transformers Figure Subscription Service (TFSS) 1.0, the Transformers Collectors' Club now brings you version 2.0! The TFSS is only available to active club members. This service is an optional feature and is not included in the cost of your annual Transformers Collectors’ Club (TCC) membership.
The TFSS 2.0 will consist of six different Transformers toys. You will receive six shipments starting in approximately February 2014, and then each month after that for a total of six months. Figures will be shipped in a surprise sequence (figure shipments will be the same for everyone each month) and it will also be a surprise each month as to which figure you receive! Your last shipment (6th shipment) will include a FREE mystery figure! That’s right, if you sign up for the TFSS 2.0 you will get a BONUS 7th figure! This 7th figure will never be sold in the club store. The only way to guarantee getting it is to sign up for the TFSS 2.0.
The limited edition TFSS 2.0 contains a variety of fan favorite characters from the Transformers mythos, all tied together by a great story to be told thru Transformers: Timelines. The assortment includes some very popular Generations, Henkei and Transformers: Prime molds. For 2.0 we will be offering 5 Deluxes and 1 Scout with THREE new head sculpts. You will definitely want these toys as part of your Transformers Collection. Stay tuned for more updates as the order period is scheduled to begin in mid-September of 2013.
