We've got one more Transformers Prime gallery for you today. From the First Edition Voyagers, it's the man himself, presenting for your enjoyment TFW's
Transformers Prime Voyager Class Optimus Prime Gallery!
As the main character on the Autobot side, Optimus Prime getting an awesome toy is almost always a given, and the Transformers Prime Voyager does not disappoint. It's a release that rivals some of the very best Optimus Prime toys in recent memory for its shear coolness, combining an awesome and heroic silhouette, show accurate styling, great poseability and a fun, challenging yet intuitive transformation into a single awesome package.
Check out our new gallery below and experience the awesomeness of this newest rendition of Optimus Prime for yourself:

Botcon has updated their
website with their next 2012 Botcon Exclusive. This time, it's Heroic Decepticon Soundwave! This figure is based on the Universe Ironhide mold with a new head. He also appears to be sporting a Cold Slither logo. Which is a nice little nod to G.I.Joe fans.
Alas, he is missing his headband. Fear not, for Botcon has updated their
Twitter that the headband will be available at the Club store!
Heroic Soundwave joins the already revealed Shattered Glass Tracks and Classics Gigatron figures from the 2012 Invasion Botcon Boxset. Yet to be seen are Shattered Glass Treadshot and Ultra Magnus and a Classics version of Metalhawk.
Botcon will be held in Dallas, TX April 26th-29th at the Hyatt Regency.

Reports
are coming in that thanks to Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Paramount has achieved global Box-Office supremacy for 2011.
Despite their largely successful Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II, Warner Bros. had to settle with the second place as Paramount dominated the world, crowning as the “
world's most successful studio”.
"This achievement reflects the combined efforts of our entire team across the globe and the careful process by which we select the projects and partners we believe in," said Paramount Pictures chairman and CEO Brad Grey. "We produce pictures that aspire to entertain audiences around the world, while at the same time we have sought to find innovative ways to reach moviegoers in this changing entertainment environment." The studio will release Brad Pitt zombie flick World War Z, Sacha Baron Cohen's latest The Dictator, toy franchise sequel G. I. Joe: Retaliation and a fourth Paranormal Activity film in 2012.Meanwhile in Hong Kong,
Transformers: Dark of the Moon was crowned box office king of 2011 in Hong Kong, but more surprising was the record-breaking success of You Are the Apple of My Eye, the little Taiwan romcom that could, which took over the title of the highest grossing Chinese-language film ever in the territory.

Some new in-hand images and perhaps more importantly first fan impressions of the Maketoy's Excavator and Bulldozer have been posted over on
ACToys. There's a whole lot of images on the far side of that link, and also a (Chinese language) review which 2005 Boards member Bystander has translated some key points of. Key things coming out in the first impressions are:
Vehicle modes "concise and neat", decos mirroring nicely the real life construction vehicles that these two are based on. Not many exposed alternate mode parts.
Excavator - shovel only moves forward-backward, no side-to-side movement.
Bulldozer - plow does not feature functioning hydraulic cylinders and poseability of it is "pretty bad".
Transformation - described as being on a similar level to your typical official Deluxe Class release.
Robot modes - limited head movement, good movement in the legs (ball jointed knees and feet). Both have backpacks of vehicle mode parts.
Are these going to be the third party Constructicons for your collection? Click the link above to see the original thread on ACToys, or read on for our mirror and Bystander's full translation.

Courtesy of TFW2005 member Type-R and
Autobase Aichi, we now have a small gallery of photos of the newly released Alternity Goldbug. This toy is a redeco of the previous Alternity Bumblebee, with metallic paint similiar to Alternity Cliff. This toy is an Asian Market Exclusive release, and is available currently in stock at
BigBadToyStore and
TFSource.
Do you like the shiny paint job? Do you wish the prior Alternity Bumblebee had such a paint job? Does the lack of a remolded head kill off any interest for you? Share those thoughts and any others you have regarding the toy, and discuss away with your fellow TFW2005 members by clicking the Discuss link below.

Yesterday we brought you news of the first public exhibition of a gray prototype of Hearts of Steel Starscream, a third party release planned by new group D.I Studio. Today courtesy of 2005 Boards member Cadbane, we can share a whole lot of more detailed pics! Read on and take a look. We're also informed this is going to be approximately Voyager sized.
Additionally something that was not picked up on initially is that there is in fact a second release from D.I Studio in the works - an Insecticon train, based on the Insecticon's appearance in Hearts of Steel. A picture has been posted on
TEKMEN's Weibo page, we've mirrored it on this story.
With three potential new third party releases and a new comic in the form of IDW's Infestation 2, 2012 is going to be a very good year for this "Steampunk" era of Transformers.

A new third party product has been shown off at a show in China. On show was a gray resin prototype of a Hearts of Steel Starscream. This one is by a new group, D.I. Studio, rather than Mastermind Creations who've brought previous designs from the Hearts of Steel series to life. This prototype looks promising - time will tell if this ends up being a worthy companion to the Knight Morpher Commander and the Cyclops.
TFC Toys also had a display at the same show, showing off their Hercules and also their DSLR "Reflector", who's also still at the gray prototype stage.
These images come to you via the
TFClub Weibo account.
