Earlier today the
Transformers Collector's Club tweeted out a preview image of the TFCC Issue #53 cover done by Robby Musso! The cover of issue #53 showcases the figures to be offered in the Transformers Subscription Service 2.0.
Unfortunately there still wasn't any concrete hints dropped about the mysterious bonus figure besides the question marked image, we'll need to keep waiting for that surprise and speculate in the meantime!
transformersclub.com will be updating with a full preview soon.
Discuss and speculate after the jump!

Ultra Magnus is finally getting a proper Masterpiece figure and not just a repainted Optimus Prime. This Ultra Magnus looks to include a trailer that will, hopefully, combine to form a great looking homage to his G1 counterpart. So for our Featured Ebay Auctions, we're going to list some of the various figures, toys, statues and merchandise to bear the name Ultra Magnus.

TransformersAsia keeps on hitting with the reissues, and this time they are re-releasing MP-11 Starscream, complete with Coronation gear. As of now, looks to be the same as the Takara MP-11 from Japan, but that could change as we get closer to actual release.
Check out Pre-Orders at our sponsors below, they should be adding it soon if they plan to carry it:

Michael Bay's Official Website is sharing with us some Transformers: Age Of Extinction Set Images and Set Details. The report is coming from the Admin; Nelson, who visited the Chicago Set couple of weeks ago.
"Michael has a totally new crew for this movie (aside from the DP & the AD). Stunt people & drivers, SFX crew, camera crew, and grips. I guess it goes with the whole "fresh" feel and look of TF4."He also gave details on the new Optimus Prime Vehicle Mode, regarding how it came to be:
"The truck company for Optimus Prime in TF 1-2-3 never wanted anything to do with the movie franchise. Before filming the first TF movie, the production crew approach the truck company to see if they could lend them 2 trucks. They said no. The producers then found 2 old rusty 1995 models that barely worked and gave them a paint job that got the job done with a very tight budget for chrome and stuff. This time around, Western Star (a subsidiary of Daimler Trucks North America) gave them 2 new trucks. No questions asked.
Optimus Prime was painted by West Coast Customs."To read the rest of Nelson's Set Visit, head over to
Michael Bay's Official Website.

A while back, we got
our first look at the upcoming Sega Transformers: Human Alliance Arcade Game. This time SEGA is
letting users vote on what ‘trailer’ they want to see next. Each trailer is based on a area in the game, these two areas are England (which you have to like their Facebook post to vote on) and the other is Africa (which you have to share the post to like it.).
Since most Facebook users usually "Like" as opposed to "Share", there is a good chance that we’ll see the England Stage Video next.
For those who missed the first trailer, you can watch it below:

Michael Bay's Official Website always keeps a healthy relationship with the Transformers Fandom. Nelson; the Site Admin of Shoot For The Edit shed some new info on the Robots of Transformers: Age Of Extinction,
moments ago:
"I like how Bumblebee looks like in robot form this time around. He looks badass and sleek.
The Stingray is one of my favorite looking robots.
So is the Bugatti. Wait til you see this guy in action. He will blow your mind!!
And Hound reminds me of the bearded chubby fellow in Braveheart. He might take the cake when it comes to personality."With it, we now have a good idea as to who the
"Pole-face" Bearded Robot is.

For quite some time
we've been hearing that S. Damen Silos will receive the good ol' Baysplosion treatment for Transformers: Age Of Extinction. The time is finally upon us. According to
news sources, Transformers 4 filming is set to wrap for the City Of Chicago with the "Mother of all explosion".
“The “Transformers: Age of Extinction” director and his crew are scheduled to wrap in Chicago this week, but not before filming what one source with the production called the “mother of all bombs.” The source said the explosion will take place Wednesday afternoon around the silos on S. Damen Avenue and W. 29th Street in the Pilsen area. This is the same site where “Transformers” recently blew up a bridge, while at the same time setting off an impressive fireball.”TF4 filming will continue on Washington state, and then China. We wish Michael Bay "Good Luck" and thank him for the awesome spectacle at Chicago. Previous
reports suggests that actor Mark Wahlberg will also complete his Principle Photography for the movie and will move to film Ted 2.
As Chicago Tribune stated: "Leave it to Michael Bay to go out with a bang."

Hasbro have updated their
online product catalog with new official images of several upcoming Bot Shots releases including:
Launchers Bluestreak, Buzzclaw, Hun-Gurrr and Starscream
Single Packs Smokescreen, Hydrax, Soundwave, Prowl and Strafe
New images of the Combaticons Five Pack have also been posted.
Of interest is that the Smokescreen in the new assortment seems to draw on the Alternators / Binaltech "blue" version, with the Launcher Bluestreak looking a lot like Smokescreen, one questions if perhaps the names got switched. Then again, perhaps this Bot Shot Smokescreen is meant to evoke Transformers Prime Smokescreen in his Beast Hunters deco.
