It's time for another TFW site gallery update! This past weekend in Japan was the Tokyo Toy Show 2012, which had two exclusive Transformers toys - one of which was a black version of Classics Optimus Prime. Based on an unreleased Wonderfest design that was originally conceived for the Henkei line,
United Black Optimus Prime depicts the heroic Optimus Prime taking up a Decepticon persona to infiltrate the enemy, but he might have gone too far an unleashed his repressed dark side in the process:
A new Decepticon ground troop had falsely claimed themselves to be Autobots and were causing havoc in many parts of Earth. To stop the disturbances, Optimus Prime used the enemy's tactic himself and planned to infiltrate the Decepticons camp. He repainted his body in jet-black and applied Decepticon insignia on his shoulders to make himself "Black Optimus Prime". He destroyed everything in his path as if his suppressed inner desires were unleashed. What actually happened to him...? Check out the full gallery of this new version of Optimus Prime to see plenty of pictures of both robot and alternate mode, along with comparisons with the
2008 San Diego Comic Con exclusive Nemesis Prime, another convention exclusive "evil Optimus Prime" from this same mold. Give a big thanks to SydneyY for the gallery!

Our friends and sponsors Big Bad Toy Store have updated with new preorders for the upcoming releases from Takara-Tomy's Transformers Prime line. There's a few new pictures giving us our first looks at some of the upcoming releases plus confirmation that Skyquake will be getting a Cyberverse class toy in the Japanese EZ-Collection - so we can at least unite Dreadwing and his Spark-brother in our collections with the pocket sized toys!
The upcoming releases are as follows:
Main line -
AM-22 Dreadwing - comes with a fish inspired Arms Micron that resembles Beast Wars Depth Charge's rifle.
AM-23 Wheeljack - comes with an Arms Micron who becomes a sword, also has additional ports added to the front of his car mode.
AM-24 Breakdown Cyrus (aka Breakdown Silas) - only a CAD drawing right now, but the head is the "eyepatch" Breakdown head. Comes with a praying mantis Arms Micron that becomes a double-bladed gauntlet.
AM-25 Nemesis Prime - only shown in silhouette, this should be the black version of AM-01 / RiD Voyager Optimus Prime shown at the Tokyo Toy Show over the weekend.
AM-26 Smokescreen - again only a silhouette, this could potentially be a Knock Out redeco / remold.
AM-27 Ultra Magnus - this would be the Voyager Class Ultra Magnus on show at the Tokyo Toy Show over the weekend.

Here's some good news for Transformers Prime cartoon fans. We might all be eagerly awaiting those new episodes (they really left us hanging with that cliffhanger in Toxicity!) but the show continues to impress in a different way - with a second year of wins at the Daytime Emmy awards. Transformers Prime took two Daytime Emmys this year - the Emmy for
outstanding special class animated program which went to the whole crew; and the Emmy for
outstanding individual achievement in animation for Supervising Color Designer Christophe Vancher. That's two years of wins for Transformers Prime now - can they make it three?
Congratulations to Christophe and the whole crew at the Hub - the awards are well deserved.

Here's a real leftfield sighting from 2005 Boards member Dilbertron. Among the items unreleased at the sudden end of the Dark of the Moon toyline last year were the final two releases in the Robo Fighters subline. Robo Fighters Wave 3 consisted of two redecos,
Nightwatch Optimus Prime and
Elite Guard Bumblebee. They've never been sighted at US retail - until today, when Dilbertron sighted both at the Greenwood, Indiana Toys R Us.
A case of some random stock in the back room finally making its way into the store months on, perhaps? You be the judge - the question now though, is if we are only seeing these nearly nine months after their original projected release date, what else could be lurking in the depths of the stockroom?

Takara-Tomy has updated their Transformers Prime Toys website with high-resolution images of their June releases. Up now on the website are robot, alternate mode and Arms Micron pictures of
AM-07 Starscream,
AM-12 Breakdown,
AM-13 Medic Knock Out and
AM-14 Decepticon Vehicon. All four are due out at the end of this month, which will also mark the first time that Breakdown has been available outside of the Cyberverse scale - and as demonstrated by pictures of the cases at the Tokyo Toy Show, he makes a great companion piece to Knock Out.
