Well, that didn't take long. On Monday we
reported a blurred picture of TFC Toys Hercules in color and fully combined. Now, we have the same picture (among others) unblurred. These pictures also show off that Hercules will come with an optional visor accessorie and that Mad Blender's mixing drum will in fact be green. TFC Toys also teases that new pictures will be coming on Sunday.
Take a look at all the images courtesy of the weibo accounts of
TFC Toys and
Jeffyzhong by clicking on the title bar and then head over to our popular Hercules Mega Thread to keep up with all the latest Hercules news!

More news from the
Takara-Tomy Twitter account! Today they have confirmed that Transformers Prime will be making its debut on Japanese television in April 2012. We've known this is coming for a while, since there's never yet been a Transformers series that has not found its way to Japan (though Beast Machines was a close call). Still, the confirmation is great news! Let's see if the exceptional talent that is JAM Project is brought in to provide an opening credits song on the lines of the one they did for Transformers Animated.
The airdate of the show is also being promoted in Japan with pack-in flyers included with the Japanese First Edition Transformers Prime toys and the Dark of the Moon DVD. This additional confirmation
comes to you from Snakas.

TFW2005 is proud to announce the launch of the all new
RIDForever.info, our network's little side project that's been sitting around for years. The mini-site dedicated to any and everything "Robots In Disguise" has been completely redone, upgraded, and added-to, heavily. We've been working on this in the background for a while now, and just squeaked in the relaunch during December 2011, which happens to be the 10th Anniversary of Robots In Disguise in the United States! So, to celebrate the 10th anniversary, even if only for another 16 days, enjoy the all new RID FOREVER.
Things of note:
Completely redone site, new skin, layout, system.
Tons of new entries added for toys, coming very close to (or hitting) absolute completeness.
3rd Party Merchandise area created, documenting the US, Japan, and Korean items.
All figures and 3rd party items we have access to have been reshot this year, using semi-professional gear and lighting.
Over 7000 New High Resolution Images of RID Toys, spanning 293 Entries for figures and merchandise.
Over 2500 High Quality Screen Captures, spanning all 39 Episodes. Sorted by Character.
Here are some pages of interest to get you started.
Every single RID related toy on one page.
All the non-toy RID merchandise.

Good news everybody! Michael Bay's monster blockbuster film Transformers Dark Of The Moon has been nominated for a 2012 Screen Actors Guild Award. The
LA Times Envelope awards site is reporting that the film is nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture. No doubt for the "Bird Men" scene among others in the movie.
Dark of The Moon has some stiff competition in the form of "Cowboys & Aliens", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, "The Adjustment Bureau" and "X-Men: First Class".
Be sure to tune in to the
2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards Sunday, January 29th on TNT and cheer on the Transformers!

2005 Boards member D-Drive has sent us the Diamond Comics shipping list for next week, 21 December! There's only one IDW Transformers comic on the list for next week, the last Transformers comic of 2012. How appropriate at the end of a year when we look back on what has passed and look forward to what is to come, we get a Transformers comic that does just that, as new Transformers creative team John Barber and James Roberts take the reins in the story that sets up for the two new ongoings kicking off in January 2012 with a little story known as Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime
TRANSFORMERS DEATH OF OPTIMUS PRIME (ONE SHOT) [has two different incentive covers]
(W) John Barber, James Roberts (A) Nick Roche (CA) Nick Roche, Photo
Celebrating 125 issues of IDW's Transformers! After Chaos, Optimus Prime's fate was shrouded in mystery. Was he truly gone or could there be a way he had emerged unscathed? Now, Optimus sits in contemplation, in a place he does not recognize as home. And with the cost of the battle finally taking its brutal toll, does Optimus Prime even have the will to carry on? CHAOS changed everything, and Transformers #125 sets a new direction for the Autobot leader...
Ships with 2 covers in a 4-to-1 ratio, 4 photo covers for every 1 by Nick Roche

Good news, everyone! IDW Publishing have furthered their partnership with ComiXology, bringing in a host of new ComiXology apps including a dedicated Transformers comics app. More importantly, IDW is now going to be releasing its comics on a same-day digital basis - the new books will be on ComiXology the same day as the floppies are out in stores, and at the same price as the print copy to boot!
An interesting tidbit, pointed out by
Comic Book Resources where 2005 News Staff Orio first heard about this news is that with IDW now on the same-day digital bandwagon, the amount of comics available digitally the same day as they are in print has passed the 50% mark - good progress for digital distribution.
Read on for the full press release from IDW.

More new images from Robot Kingdom! This time out, there are images of Dark of the Moon Deluxe
Wheeljack - here called "Autobot Que" -
Soundwave and Alternity Goldbug in package. These are the Japanese release versions, so this does not confirm that Wheeljack will also be Que in the US - though it certainly makes things a lot more confusing! The new images also give us a look at Soundwave's bio, which we've added to our
Resources section:
Earth is bursting with information, the very air pulses with radio waves. Worldwide computer networks vibrate with digital secrets. Soundwave collects it all. Every voice is recorded, every birdsong is remembered, every bit of data analyzed. Information is power, and no one knows better than Soundwave how to turn that power into a weapon.Read Replies (0)
