A new third party group calling themselves Transformer Dreamworks have
posted renderings of their planned accessory set for Transformers: Prime
First Edition Bulkhead. The proposed set includes a rear bumper for vehicle mode, and two large blasters that can be repurposed as jetpacks.
It is currently unknown whether this set is compatible with the newer
Robots in Disguise Bulkhead.

A while back we
posted about Enterplay releasing high end trading cards based on the Transformers properties. Recently, Breygent Marketing has teamed up with Enterplay and is working on a Fall release for the cards, featuring more than just the movie properties. The cards will now also feature Transformers Prime characters.
Thanks to Lumpy of the 2005 boards, via

Auto Assembly has updated their website in regards to this years kitbash workshop. The update is as follows:
We have had a kitbash workshop at Auto Assembly for the last few years but as we are moving the convention to a new home for 2012, we wanted to do something special this year and bring all of you a brand new, improved workshop as part of Europe’s Largest Transformers Convention so we’ve teamed up with Calloway Customs to do something brand new which we think you’ll all love…
This “Blue Peter” style presentation will last approximately one hour, and will focus on how to change a stock Hasbro toy into a different character, using all the tools and tricks of the trade available. Discussing paint removal, disassembly and cleaning, spray / paint preparation and application, wheel removal, head replacement, decal application and much more.
Presented by Nick Calloway, the designer behind the popular Calloway Customs Shapeway store, and Botcon award winner Sid Beckett. This workshop will be backed up by a full “how to…” bullet-point refresher guide on the Auto Assembly website and a video of the presentation so you can follow along at home.
“We wanted to do something similar to the custom workshops other conventions offer,” said Nick Calloway, “without the practical difficulties of sixty people fighting over two soldering irons, against the clock. In this workshop you will learn all the skills you need so you can attempt a true custom in the comfort of your own home at your own pace.”
The limited edition convention exclusive upgrade kits themselves will be available to purchase at the convention and will be available to pre-order shortly from Calloway Custom Designs exclusively for convention attendees!

Who is MP-14? Could it be
Masterpiece Ultra Magnus which Mr Starscream alluded to last year? Or is it another character entirely?
