Yesterday we brought you news of the first public exhibition of a gray prototype of Hearts of Steel Starscream, a third party release planned by new group D.I Studio. Today courtesy of 2005 Boards member Cadbane, we can share a whole lot of more detailed pics! Read on and take a look. We're also informed this is going to be approximately Voyager sized.
Additionally something that was not picked up on initially is that there is in fact a second release from D.I Studio in the works - an Insecticon train, based on the Insecticon's appearance in Hearts of Steel. A picture has been posted on
TEKMEN's Weibo page, we've mirrored it on this story.
With three potential new third party releases and a new comic in the form of IDW's Infestation 2, 2012 is going to be a very good year for this "Steampunk" era of Transformers.

A new third party product has been shown off at a show in China. On show was a gray resin prototype of a Hearts of Steel Starscream. This one is by a new group, D.I. Studio, rather than Mastermind Creations who've brought previous designs from the Hearts of Steel series to life. This prototype looks promising - time will tell if this ends up being a worthy companion to the Knight Morpher Commander and the Cyclops.
TFC Toys also had a display at the same show, showing off their Hercules and also their DSLR "Reflector", who's also still at the gray prototype stage.
These images come to you via the
TFClub Weibo account.

Perfect Effect have updated
their blog with some new CGI images of their upcoming PE-DX01 RC unofficial motorcycle version of Generation 1 Arcee. She's seen here in robot and bike modes, along with CGI of a potential blue Prime Arcee / Chormia inspired deco.
Also included in this updated is some lineart for a pack in comic that will come with the figure. The lineart is not terribly clear in some cases, but it looks like we'll have Arcee and Bludgeon having a swordfight in there.
The blog post suggests that the current release timeframe will be March of 2012. Preorders are expected to open with online retailers at around the middle of next month.

Here we go. We're in the home stretch for the final two figures for TFC Toys' massive Hercules figure. New shots of the last two remaining figures have popped up on TFC Toys
Facebook page as well as their
Weibo page. In these pictures we see Neckbreaker (with a black plow) in robot, vehicle and arm mode. We also see Mad Blender (with a green mixing drum) in robot, vehicle and leg mode. These pictures also show off Mad Blenders mixing drum seperated into it's many pieces and attached to Mad Blender in robot mode. No doubt, for spraying his enemies with corrosive acid. Finally, we get a good look at Hercules' chest piece.
Check out all the images and then head over to the very popular Hercules Mega Thread to discuss!
