Online stores including the
Digitamin Rakutan store and our own
TFSource have been updating with listings for the next assortment of Transformers Gum kits from Kabaya. The next assortment, wave 6, is a Transformers Zone centric assortment consisting of all three of the main Cybertrons from that series - Dai Atlas, Sonic Bomber and Road Fire. According to the intial information these three should be a real treat with their base modes being included along with robot and vehicle modes, and in the case of Dai Atlas even his fourth tank mode is present, in addition to the Predaking-slaying "Zone Sword Cutter" weapon. Additionally, the three kits combine into the gigantic spaceship Big Powered (though here it is likely to be just a little bit smaller!)
They are due for a December release in Japan -
preorder yours at TFSource now!

If you are a UK or Europe based Transformers fan who has been enjoying getting new Transformers comic action on a weekly basis from IDW, we have some bad news for you. Visitors to
Comixology's Transformers section in the UK and some parts of Europe are being greeted with the message "I'm sorry, the content you are requesting isn't currently available in your area. We apologize for the inconvenience."
According to
IDW's Twitter account, it is down to a rights issue:
It's a rights issue, but unfortunately we can't offer digital Transformers comics in the UK. However it is not just the UK. According to the
IDW forums this has been a developing issue for the past few weeks, affecting regions including the Netherlands and Italy. The UK is just the latest region to be hit by this Comixology withdrawal of IDW digital downloads on Transformers comics.
This means for those in affected areas, buying paper copies of Transformers comics is now the only way to experience the stellar work that IDW is putting out. But for digital only series, such as Fall of Cybertron, Autocracy and the upcoming Monstrosity? Sorry, you are out of luck, at least until these are collected in a trade paperback.

Takara-Tomy have
updated their Transformers site with official photos and news of the next two store exclusive Transformers Prime releases, Orion Pax and Thundercracker. Orion Pax (who is a bit overphotoshopped here - he presumably won't look so pink in the final article) is a Bic Camera and Joshin exclusive release, and comes with a gold chrome version of R.A., and is the first Japanese release for the Deluxe class mold from the First Edition two pack. Thundercracker reuses the same tooling as Arms Micron Skywarp, and is exclusive to Aeon, Yamada and Yodabashi Camera. His Arms Micron partner is a silver chrome version of Skywarp's Baro.
Additionally, the
Takara-Tomy Transformers PR Twitter account has tweeted out an in-hand picture of Thundercracker.

The Allspark has once again provided a translation of the Transformers United EX packaging bios. This time out they have provided the fandom with a translation of the Choppermaster VS Rollermaster set story and bio. The story chronicles a battle between the two Transformers, while like with Jetmaster, the bios provide some hints at the identities of both Transformers. The stories and bios are also loaded with references to everything from the obvious to the obscure, leaning heavily on the obscure side of things with Firebugs, Microtrailers and Spanner all getting references.
So who are Rollermaster and Choppermaster really? Once again the actual names are not explicity stated, however it is all strongly implied. Rollermaster is stated to have been a former commander of Darkmount, wields a Targetmaster named Spanner, and coincidentally shares tech spec values with the Transformers United Straxus - all together implying that this is Straxus, who has hopped into a new body once again. Meanwhile Choppermaster is a master of chemical and incendiary weapons who was brought on board with Master Class at the recommendation of Jetmaster / Treadbolt - together with the helicopter alternate mode, it is suggested that Choppermaster is Treadbolt's fellow Sky Patrol Micromaster teamster, Blazemaster (the fact the story title is "In the Blazing Alps, indirectly dropping part of the name, helps)
Check out the full translation and story notes over at the Allspark.
