For our latest new site gallery, we bring you a look at one of the two Gobits from
TFcon 2013!
Roswell is a blue and cream colored redeco of iGear's UFO Miniwarrior, inspired by the Gobot character Pathfinder (who also had an E-Hobby Minibot named for her, which is where this one gets her inspiration). Roswell is a bulky, chunky little robot, evoking the feel of a spacesuit, and the mold has a few cool touches including the dome over the robot head, the 50's sci-fi style ray-gun, and a display base, to display Roswell in flight in either mode.
She is overall a very cute, fun little robot and a nice character to add to the growing collection of TFcon exclusives. Open the link below to check out our gallery of Roswell!

Speaking of action, MineSky did not forget to take pics of the Cast and Crew, including Director Michael Bay. Based on what GabrielPrime is sharing, they are filming the
previously rumored scene. Also, our members are letting us know of another scene; which we are keeping away from the front page for those who are sensitive to Spoilers. You can read about it on the thread associated with this news post.

It seems Sixgun figures to accompany Generations Metroplex are the new Predaking for third parties - because
ACToys poster alienzhi has shared some images of another third party Sixgun, the third one to be announced so far after
TFC Toys and
Before and After both announced their own takes on the character. This newly unveiled Sixgun dwarfs the other two, standing almost waist-high against Metroplex; he's also the most accurate to the style of the original Generation 1 Sixgun unveiled thus far. Check out the images which we've attached to this story for convenience - and jump into the discussion thread to check out a handy comparison of all three not-Sixguns.

While many of you may have written off Jagex's Transformers Universe game after an extended period of no news from the project, Jagex has updated
their website for the game with some new CGI and wallpapers, showing that this project is not down for the count yet. The
new wallpapers show off some of the character designs - both newcomers and also familiar faces, including Optimus Prime himself in one image, and in another, someone who just might be Jazz! The site's news page - called Comms - has also been updated, and is showing daily updates since 23 October 2013, with the latest update posted today indicating that a fresh round of closed beta testing has begun.
It's been a long time coming - make sure to watch the
Comms page on transformersuniverse.com or the TFW news frontpage for further updates!

Finally, it seems as though we have our first look at the Renders of Transformers: Age Of Extinction robots. Now, we know that there is quite a lot of Far Art circulating. But, if you look closely you can see that the Renders of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are near identical to the kids Costumes we saw not too long ago. Also, we get our first look at DinobotGrimlock.
We are yet to confirm the origin of these images. They were first
published by Singapore Transformers Fan Club; Planet Iacon. They group was pretty reliable in the past.
If any of our members wish to track down the images, the best place to start would be to keep a look out for a Licensing Magazine published in Singapore.

Some tiny updates from Hong Kong Principle Photography of Transformers: Age Of Extinction.
First one
is from Director Michael Bay who says the rumors going around are not true and they are having a great time filming the movie
"I'm here to set the record straight again . . . my crew and I have been having a great time in Hong Kong despite what you may have read about us being "rocked by a second extortion attempt." Totally untrue. A few bad dudes have definitely not ruined the experience. We shoot from sun up to sun down, and the local HK crew have become part of our on-set family. We're in the middle of busy streets, in businesses, and even in people's homes, and everyone we've met has been very accommodating and generous. It's been a once in a lifetime experience we'd all consider doing again.
Michael Bay" Second update is about the Lamborghini Gallardo
spotted recently. Local Reports
say that the vehicle is Privately Owned by Julian Cheung Chi-lam, a famous and quite wealthy Hong Kong singer and actor who gave the car for the movie. This explains why we didn't see it during the Detroit and Chicago filming.

Takara-Tomy have updated their
Transformers website with details of the five Arms Microns being released as a part of the "Gojou" Campaign. The five Arms Microns are recolors of those included with the Japanese Transformers Prime toys Nemesis Prime, Frenzy & Rumble, Wild Ride, Silas Breakdown and Dreadwing; named Ex, Sen, Geki, Shou and Go respectively.
These will be available with a purchase of 3,000 yen or more of Transformers Go! products at participating stores. Ex will be available at Toys R Us Japan; Sen at Aion; Geki at Joshin Kids Land and Bic Camera; and Shou at Edion, Yamada Denki and Yodobashi Camera. The last one of the set of five, Go, the recolor of Dreadwing's Arms Micron, is said to be a wider national release, but is obtained in the same way by spending the requisite amount on Transformers Go! toys.
Check out the page, and the new images that accompany it, including the huge Godenjin sword that the five Arms Microns merge into.
