Our sponsors
TFSource have sent us some finished product pictures of the Headrobots Drone kit. Drone is a conversion kit for Hunt for the Decepticons Tomahawk, to convert him into a Classics style version of the Generation 1 Wrecker, Whirl. These pictures show the finished kits in all their glory, along with a couple of repeats of earlier images to give you an idea of how this unlicensed kit looks when installed on the figure.
TFSource reports that the set is due to start shipping out next week as well, so get those spare Tomahawks ready if you are investing in this kit. T

We'll kick off our 2013 gallery updates with a new toy of a character who is very dear to me - Grimlock!
Fall of Cybertron Grimlock is another one of those toys who occupies a happy medium between lines, blending with Classics, Fall of Cybertron or even Prime with varying degrees of success, and beyond all that, he's just plain awesome. He's tall in robot mode and imposing in dinosaur mode, with a gimmick that makes sense for the character and that does not get in the way of the rest of the toy's operation. Excellent poseability in robot mode is the icing on the cake. Some fans were disappointed that the original Classics Grimlock was, in their eyes, not a worthy update to Grimlock, well, thanks to Fall of Cybertron we now have a Grimlock who is a lot closer to the Generation 1 original, and nice and big to go with it.
What we have for you here is a nice extensive gallery showcasing Grimlock's dinosaur and robot modes, along with
comparisons with previous Grimlocks and a selection of images showing how Grimlock fits in with
other Fall of Cybertron toys, with
other Classics series characters, and
with Transformers Prime characters too, given that this version of Grimlock is presently playing a leading role in the Transformers Prime continuity "Rage of the Dinobots" comic.

2005 Boards member uranusdd has shared with us a look at the Transformers Platinum Edition Year of the Snake Energon
Optimus Prime and
Omega Supreme in their packaging. The packaging truly lives up to the "premium" billing these toys have received, with a nice red backdrop and gold foil effect combined with nice snake effects in traditional Chinese style in the shape of the Autobot sigil - and that is just the backdrop to the character art.
Check out the in-package image, attached to this story.

The
official Transformers Facebook page has posted a "beast" update of a different nature today. In 2013 the Transformers Collectors Club is introducing us to Beast Wars Shattered Glass - a new team of Maximals featuring some familiar faces and led by Ultra Mammoth (a reformatted Ultra Magnus) are up against tough odds. The story features the Autobot team led by Ultra Magnus on the Hyperion, previously seen in the Botcon 2007 Games of Deception comic. Notable Transformers fan Ben Yee had a hand in creating the story and calls it "a bit off-beat, but fun".
Visit the
Transformers Facebook page to check out the single page preview of the 2013 Transformers Collectors Club comic. And visit the
Transformers Collectors Club homepage to find out how to sign up for the club to get the comic as well as the membership exclusive pre-Beast Wars Depth Charge figure and that Botcon discount.

The
Transformers Asia Facebook page has followed up on their previous tease of a new release in the Asia Premium Series of Movie toys with a picture confirming the APS-2 will be a redeco of Leader Class Decepticon Brawl. The picture though is a total tease using inverted colors, preventing anyone from getting a proper look at the toy.
Fear not though, because through the magic of Photoshop, Singapore Transformers Fan Group
Planet Iacon have removed most of the photoshopping to reveal what this new Leader Brawl might actually look like. As with the Striker Optimus Prime, this Leader Brawl takes the 2007 Leader mold and gives it a full-on Premium Series redeco.
If official, non-photoshop tease images are released by Transformers Asia look vastly different to this we will update you here. For now, enjoy this first look at Decepticon Brawl's premium deco.

2013 just arrived and this year Transformers fans can enjoy Transformers: Prime Season 3 - Beast Hunters on Hasbro-Discovery Hub.
Back in last October at the New York Comic Con 2012,
we saw for the first time what exactly Beast Hunters is. Before that, we’ve only known it through a
mysterious new trademark filed by Hasbro, which TFW2005 revealed for the first time. At NYCC 2012 we were treated to a small clip from the 3rd Season. However, it was not very clear and the camera was all shaky.
You Tube user, TransEpisodes3 has recently uploaded a 720p HD version of the same clip from the show. You can enjoy it below:
Transformers: Prime is rumored to return this Spring.
