Next summer IDW Publishing will delve back into the original Transformers Comic Book story. Originally published by Marvel Comics, the Transformers comic ended with issue #80. Thanks to IDW, writer Simon Furman and artist Andrew Wildman are both back on board and ready to continue this story with IDW's Regeneration #81. Now, thanks to their Wordpress blogs we have the two discussing the prequel comic, #80.5, which will come out on Free Comic Book Day. In the two blogs we learn that Simon has reread all of the issues of the original run and is planning to address or wrap up all loose threads. Andrew has made a Facebook page for
Regeneration and has announced the interior color artist as Jean-Paul Bobe.
Take a look at their wordpress blogs
Here and
Here. Then head over to the 2005 Boards to discuss

Alright, it's time for another Transformers Prime Tuesday Q&A !
Each week, Hasbro Transformers Official Facebook Page is taking questions for the cast and crew of the hit animated series “Transformers Prime” from fans. Check out this week’s Fan Q&A with "Transformers Prime" Writer's Assistant (and writer of the episode "Stronger, Faster") Mairghread Scott!
Catherine Martin asks: “Stronger, Faster” is one of my favourite “Transformers Prime” episodes! Do you think the events of the episode have had a permanent effect on Ratchet?
Mairghread Scott: Of course our Story Editor (the fabulous Duane Capizzi) could answer this better, but I like to think my episode had the most impact on Optimus. Ratchet does gain a certain confidence from the events in "Stronger, Faster," but it's the first time someone really calls out Optimus for not being more aggressive toward the Decepticons. I think of this episode as the seed for Optimus' duel with Megatron in "One Shall Fall."You can read more from the
Hasbro Transformers Official Facebook Page.

The Tokyo Motor Show might not sound like the most likely place to see new images of Transformers products, but none the less, it's on now and Takara-Tomy has some current and upcoming product on display! GENgoraw of our 2005 Boards has shared images of the display, which focuses on the eight Transformers Prime toys coming to Japan - Optimus Prime, Bulkhead, Arcee, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Megatron, Starscream and the Vehicon Trooper. Some are largely unchanged from their US release, like Arcee, while others like Bulkhead and Cliffjumper feature new (and shiny) paint jobs.
Also on show are the upcoming Movie Deluxe releases, Wheeljack and Soundwave, who do not look all that different from their US versions. The show exclusive Neoscanning Bumblebee was also there of course, and we've got some new images of him, plus a look at him in package from
this Yahoo Japan auction. Thanks to 2005 boards member ultraq for the link to that one.
Lastly there's a two sided flyer showcasing Transformers Dark of the Moon and Transformers Prime toys out now and coming to Japan shortly. Thank 2005 Boards member Masabon along with GENgoraw for the scans of this. The flyer teases about the launch of Transformers Prime toys in March - judging by the attached silhouettes, this teaser is for the main line of "Robots in Disguise" Prime toys, and not the First Editions, which are expected out in Japan later this month.

Slashfilm.com is reporting that Executive Producer Steven Spielberg recently had an in-depth interview with Entertainment Weekly in which he discussed many upcoming projects, as well as other franchises he's involved with. Among those mentioned was the possibility of Transformers 4 and Michael Bay returning as director. In the interview Steven Spielberg states, "
I hope so, because I think he made the best of the three with this last one. I certainly can’t imagine anybody other than Michael being equipped to make another Transformers. He’s invented a genre and he’s got the secret formula." The statement goes hand in hand with one from Michael Bay from the opening of the Transformers Ride in
Singapore; "
How did I know someone’s going to ask me this question today? We’re talking about it, but there’s nothing right now. I’m going to do a tiny movie first, then we’ll talk about it, if I potentially do it."
Sounds like things are looking up for fans of the movie franchise. Click on the title to read more and discuss on the 2005 Boards!

The buzz for the next Transformers movie is still going on. With the success of Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Hasbro’s rise to popularity with delivering good content to moviegoers and TV audience alike, it’s not too difficult to say we’ll see more Transformers Live Actions Movies in the future.
We are still tangled up in a web without knowing what’s exactly going on in the background when it comes to Transformers 4. One person says one thing while another contradicts it.
On these recent articles by
Slash Film and Entertainment Weekly, the question was asked if Steven Spielberg thought there would be another Michael Bay Transformers movie to which he said:
"I hope so, because I think he made the best of the three with this last one. I certainly can’t imagine anybody other than Michael being equipped to make another Transformers. He’s invented a genre and he’s got the secret formula."And at the same time, Michael Bay was interviewed by Channel News Asia when he went to Singapore to open Transformers: The Ride.
"How did I know someone’s going to ask me this question today? We’re talking about it, but there’s nothing right now. I’m going to do a tiny movie first, then we’ll talk about it, if I potentially do it."With Mr. Bay’s recent comment, we now know that Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner was telling the truth at the
3rd Quarter Earnings Call 2011 and at the
Hasbro Investor Day 2011.

BTS Toys have kindly sent us some more on their upcoming BTS-05A Tremor & Frequenzy set. These new images show off a prototype of the cassette warrior - which sports 17 points of articulation, enabling it to strike some pretty cool poses. In these images the hips also appear less wide than they appeared in the initial images.
Also shown in this set of images are the accessories - a pair of "batteries" / piledrivers. These feature spring-loaded rams, and can also transform into hand weapons which fit into any 5mm hand hole.
Read on to check out all of the new images (including comparisons with the Generation 1 toy this was based on).
BTS-05A set of Frequenzy and Tremor are currently up for preorder at
Big Bad Toy Store.
