Generation 1 God Ginrai/Powermaster Optimus, the original
Generation 1 Optimus, and the
1st Masterpiece Optimus Prime. Fans of the Masterforce Japanese series are sure to be happy with this one.

A reminder friends that the next (and for the time being, last!) new episode of Transformers Prime airs on The Hub tomorrow at 8:30 ET | 5:30 PT. Toxicity is the finale of the four episode relic hunt arc, recounting the events that led up to the shocking final moments of last week's episode Triage! It's a big bad brawl between the brave Bulkhead and the insidious Insecticons, with the final Iacon relic in the balance.
The epic clash of bot VS bug is captured in this new still from the
Transformers Facebook page, along with the info that "it's the last new episode for a while".
Fortunately we do not have too long to wait for new Transformers adventures because Transformers Rescue Bots returns from its own brief hiatus on 9 June! Watch this space for more news on future airings of Transformers Prime as they are revealed to us.

Our friends and sponsors at
Robot Kingdom have shared a couple of scans from the latest issue of Dengeki Hobby on their
Facebook page. Dengeki Hobby's May issue includes a nice clear picture of Arms Micron series Breakdown, shown here in all his glory thanks to a nice higher-res scan. The design looks very sharp and close to how he looks in the show - and doubtless will look great alongside Knock Out and Bulkhead. He's coming to the US somewhere down the line, possibly as one of the three new Voyagers in Voyager Class Wave 4 - this will hopefully be confirmed at the San Diego Comic Con in July.
The second scan, which shows the whole page, gives another look at some other upcoming Japanese releases, including Arms Micron Knock Out and Vehicon, a Lucky Draw Transformers Prime Optimus Prime, and the Tokyo Toy Show exclusives Henkei Black Convoy and Transformers Prime First Edition Optimus Prime Clear Version.

E-Hobby have
announced that they are entering into a collaboration with the Transformers Collector's Club! Exactly what this partnership is bringing to the table is unknown, but wishful speculation is that it will give Japanese fans access to the US TFCC exclusives, and US fans access to E-Hobby's own awesome exclusives without the need for a middleman.
Of course that is all speculation - full details will be announced on the
E-Hobby Magazine site in due course. I for one am looking forward to finding out more - and once we know more we will share the news with you here on TFW.

Here we get a look of some
Japanese edition Prime figures with a set of photos. These photos detail the
voyager-sized Bulkhead,
deluxe-sized Arcee, and the EZ Collection (the equivalent of Legends in the US)
Wheejlack. The Japanese editions comes with
the Arms Microns and also some labels, and these photos allows us to see these figures sans labels. A careful eye will note the lack of paint applications that the US versions have and just how much these depend on the labels to enhance the look. Also noteworthy is that Bulkhead and Arcee do not sport shiny plastic as some fans thought with the original promotion photos.
Check out the photos after the jump!

With TFcon's 2012 exclusive Shafter rising to the occasion when it comes to this year's exclusives, I figured now was a good time to give some focus to last year's exclusive duo of
Stronghold and
Toxin. Stronghold is a redeco of the great Hardhead upgrade set, this time for Universe Onslaught, and comes complete with Reprolabels to customize the Onslaught body into something new and altogether unique - a proto-Fortress Maximus version of Fortress / Cerebros. It's rather cool and the Toronto number plate decal adds a lot to the look.
Toxin meanwhile is a redeco of the first Headrobots release, Cobra, and is a nice little complement to the set - it also goes well on a Mindwipe body in my experience.
Open the links below to check out both galleries!
TFcon 2011 Exclusive StrongholdTFcon 2011 Exclusive ToxinTFcon 2012 will be held over the weekend of July 27-29, 2012 at the Delta Meadowvale Resort and Conference Centre in Mississauga, Ontario. Find out more and pre-register - or get your non-attendee Shafter -
