The Transformers Ride info continues to roll in! Tonight we have a
youtube video, courtesy of youtube user, BIGBEARSG. This video is a full walkthrough of the que area, where fans will get to wait in line to experience the ride. In this video you get to see each room, plus nearly all the pre-show videos which help tell the story of the Transformers universe. Ironhide, Rachet, Wheelie, Optimus, and
EVAC all join in to tell the story. Which means this ride takes place right after Revenge of The Fallen, despite some footage from Dark Of The Moon being shown. You also see the gift shop and cafe that were built near the exit as well as a quick look at the EVAC ride vehicles in action.
This surely is an exciting time to be a Transformers fan. Seldom do we get to experience something that actually puts us inside the Transformers Universe. The Transformers Ride at Resorts World Sentosa in Universal Studios Singapore will open on December 3rd.

BTS Toys have shared with us some images of their next sets of releases. Next from them are two two packs of cassette-robots. BTS-05A will consist of the not-Rumble & Frenzy named Tremor and Frequenzy. BTS-05B will consist of not-Ravage & Ratbat, named Savage and Nightfang respectively. Each of the four bots will turn into minicassette tapes compatible with the original Soundwave or the BTS-04 Sonicron.
Frequenzy and Tremor are the Frenzy & Rumble styled cassettes of the group. As well as turning into cassettes, they come with "batteries" which can transform into their piledrivers - not shown in these images are that the piledriver barrels can extend for full ground-pounding style. Tremor & Frequenzy will be available in three versions, each set exclusive to a particular region:
The first set are a Generation 1 Rumble & Frenzy inspired set, a limited run of 1000 pieces. These are confirmed to be exclusive to North America.
A second set will be Tremor & Frequenzy "Mirror" versions, based on the Shattered Glass concept.
A third set have been dubbed the "Workaholics" and will be in Constructicon colors.
The latter two sets will be available as Asia & Europe and China regional exclusives, although we cannot yet confirm which set will belong to which region. Asia & Europe get a limited run of 1000 pieces, while China's will be limited to 888 sets of BTS05A.
BTS-05B, the Savage and Nightfang set, will also be a limited run set of 1000 pieces. Of interest is that Nightfang - "not-Ratbat" - can combine with Frequenzy or Tremor in the style of the 1990s European Action Masters to form a humanoid bat mode. Savage meanwhile can equip the "battery" piledriver components from Frequenzy or Tremor.
Read on to check out all of the images that we have received from BTS.

Thanks to
ACtoys we have new images of the upcoming Junkion Blacksmith Generation 1
Devastator upgrade kit, JB-07. This kit appears to eliminate the need for any of the original G1 Constructicon accessory pieces needed to form Devastator.
Take a look at all the new images after the break!

once again shared with us some new pictures of upcoming Transformer releases. This time around it's Dark Of The Moon Deluxe Soundwave. He's taken some nice photos of Soundwave's robot mode including an alternate transformation for the shoulder of the famous Decepticon and a recreation of his scene with Bumblebee from Dark Of The Moon.

Good news for fans of the Powercore Combiner line. The very last figure from the line,
Over-Run with Stunticons, has been found at discount store Ross by 2005 Board member Big Hank. Big Hank previously found the other last two Powercore 5-Packs, Grimstone and Steamhammer, at a discount store back in
August. This figure was controversial when it was revealed due to the name the character had before it was renamed to Over-Run. Over-Run is a repaint of
Powercore Combiners Leadfoot packaged with a mix of drones from
Rallybots and
Destructicons sets. If you're a Powercore Fan or a fan of the Stunticons, now is the time to check your local Ross and other discount stores.

mentioned…
The Signature series box set will available January 31, 2012.
It will include the DOTM 3D Blu-ray as an added bonus.
Nelson also came to our forum to
answer a member question regarding Michael Bay’s Signature on this special edition.
“Actually, they're being personally hand-signed by him as we speak. All 5,000. No two will be exactly the same.”So, whoever get their hands on this special collectors’ item will indeed be holding a unique piece from the Movieverse.

Word is reaching us from online retailers including our friends TFSource that the third of the TFC Toys Hercules Team members - Structor - is set for a release next week, and is expected to arrive in stock the week after. Even with the potential for a few shipping delays as we enter the holiday period, it looks like Structor will be in the hands of fans in time for Christmas.
Latest word is also that member number 4, Dr Crank, is due in early to mid December, but realistically may not arrive until after Christmas due to the holiday season.
