The journey continues as the crew of the Lost Light confronts a band of rogue DECEPTICONS-with terrible consequences. Plus, a visit to the planet Hedonia-and a chance to put recent events behind them. But all the while, locked in a secret cell underneath the Lost Light, hidden from the crew, a DECEPTICON psychopath is talking...without opening his mouth. And, Rodimus and his crew are confronted by the enemy within-and not everyone will survive the encounter. Read Replies (0)

The Spacebridge has shared a look at some more truly rare unreleased Transformers memorabilia on
Facebook. This time out he has given us a rare glimpse at metallic chrome versions of four different takes on the Generation 1 Seeker mold. These Seekers, which were never released, were produced by Takara for Hasbro to use as competition prizes. It is hard to pin down the exact time period these date from, but they must be post 2003 due to the Starscream using the Transformers Collection series tooling which included the additional Megatron gun accessory.
Not a bootleg, fake or "lunchtime special" These toys were made as samples by Takara for Hasbro. They would then be offered as exclusives or prizes to retailers if they wanted to run a promotion. So if Wal*Mart wanted to run a Transformers competition these would be offered to them by Hasbro as a possible prize. Most likely not used as Japanese size missiles so "unsafe" in the United States. These are original Hasbro internal pictures.Check out

Here's a shocker nobody was expecting this side of August! The Target exclusive Transformers Prime Beast Hunters subseries, Predacons Rising, has already begun to arrive on shelves with the first sightings of the Deluxe assortment reported in San Jose, CA. Sky Lynx, one of the two Deluxes in the set (the other is a Nova Blast Bumblebee) was found on Target store shelves by 2005 Boards member Deltagod.
How long will it be before the other cool Predacons Rising exclusives get released? For those hunting, these DCPI numbers might prove useful:
Predacons Rising Deluxes - 087 06 2427
Predacons Rising Voyagers - 087 06 2428
Predacons Rising Cyberverse Commander two-pack - 087 06 2430
Educated guesses put the Legion two-packs as DCPI 087 06 2429. Big thanks to JamesBenjamin and x BlackMagnus x for compiling these.

In an odd coincidence with our last story, Hasbro purchased a majority stake in iOs game maker
Backflip Studios. The company is known for mobile games such as Dragonvale and Ragdoll Blaster.
From their
statement:
Quote:
We are thrilled to announce today that we are selling a majority stake in Backflip Studios to Hasbro. The company will stay in Boulder, CO and will continue to be run by the current management team. In addition to producing original new titles and updating popular favorites, we will now have access to Hasbro’s catalog of well-known brands for future mobile development. We will proceed with our long held strategy of building a large and active network of satisfied users through compelling gameplay.
Looks like Hasbro is jumping in the video game arena and bringing this key sector somewhat in-house. Let's hope more awesome Transformers, G.I. Joe and other boys brands games make it our way soon.

This is a bit of news to chalk up in the rumor column - it could be something or nothing might come of it, so we invite you to adopt the appropriate scepticism.
Over the past weekend the voice of Generation 1 Grimlock, Gregg Berger, was in attendance at the
Florida Supercon. During his panel, 2005 Boards member Citricon asked Mr Berger the question of
"If Michael Bay or Paramount or Universal came to you, and asked you to voice Grimlock in the upcoming movie, would you do it or no?"
After a brief pause - and cracking a joke about how Grimlock would have made the previous movies a lot shorter - Gregg responded with
"I will bring justice to the character, you'll see"This could be something or nothing - however, a rusty cab-over-engine truck spotted on the set of Transformers 4
has been rumored to be a Dinobot, and a
rumored character list included Grimlock as a potential Transformers 4 cast addition. Signs certainly point to the possibility of their being a Grimlock in the next movie for Gregg to voice - and it is not unheard of for the live action movies to cast the original cartoon's voice talent to voice their live-action movie counterpart.

auction from lena81822 we have new images of a loose
Transformers Generations Deluxe Megatron production sample! While this isn't the 1st incarnation of Megatron as a stealth bomber, It's the 1st figure based off IDW's stealth bomber Megatron design!
At most, we are a few months away from seeing this figure on retail shelves. Itching to see how it turned out? Read on to check out the new images!
NOTE: The alt mode isn't fully transformed.
