Our
Transformers Feedback forum provides us with yet another news item: in-hand photos of some Japanese Happy Meal toys made to promote the widely-successful Transformers: Dark of the Moon movie.
While these figures lack articulation, they are fully transformable figures and even include label sheets for additional details. They are described as a cross between Gravity Bots and Activators due to the type of trigger mechanism to transform as well as the manner in which the toys change from car to robot.
Check out the images after the jump!

Our update today comes with our first in-hand photos of this toy, as well as a review of this toy. Is this a figure you're looking forward to? Check out the review posted in our
Transformers Feedback forum and be sure to discuss your thoughts after viewing the images after the jump!

Welcome, Transformers fan. I have summoned you here for a purpose.
I wish to share with you these in hand images of the upcoming Amazon.com exclusive Unicron with Kranix. These pictures were snapped by RampageSSS of the 2005 Boards - the lucky chap has him in hand already! Some things to note:
- Unicron has green eyes on this release, but red LEDs behind them.
- Unicron's packaging is marked 25th Anniversary of Transformers the Movie
- They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so we'll leave it to you to check out RampageSSS'
comparison images with Armada Unicron and TakaraTomy's Celebration 2010 Unicron.
As if that was not enough, a few more images have been posted over on
ACtoys.net.

Good news, everyone!
MSN TV and
Zap2it are both reporting that episode 22 of Transformers Prime - titled Stronger, Faster - is going to air on 17 September 2011! This is just one week after episode 21, T.M.I. is set to air.
There's currently no word on when episode 23, which just aired in Canada, is set to arrive on US screens. Hopefully we will see a nice uninterrupted run of new episodes through September and October - all the better to coincide with a certain billion dollar motion picture's DVD release.

Remember the
mini-Sharkticons we saw a few days ago?
Robot Kingdom have updated their Facebook page with more information on these unofficial non-transforming sharks. They're by a new third party group called Dr Wu, and they are going to be called "Shark Clones".
Here's the fun part though. The packaging is also transformable! It transforms from a tall box into a cardboard Sharkticon! Pretty cool as far as packaging goes, and a nice touch if I do say so myself.
Stay tuned for more information on this product, including pricing and availability.

The TFcon exclusive 2011 mini comic drawn by IDW's Alex Milne, colored by Josh Perez and written by Protoman is now up for the public to view (minus the dialogue).
The story tells of Fortress' transition from his original Planet Master body to his new Fortress Maximus upgrade, as well as introduces us to Toxin, the previously unknown 4th Decepticon Headmaster of Scorponok's gang. This story is based in the Japanese G1 cartoon continuity and happens before episode 1 of
Transformers: Headmasters.
Also, a careful eye will note that the Stronghold figure and drawn character are slightly different due to the design not finalized at the time the illustration was completed. Additionally, the Toxin character shares the same body of G1 Chromedome, just sporting a different color scheme.
What are your thoughts of this story and these characters? Be sure to discuss your thoughts after viewing the images after the jump!

Powercore Combiner fans rejoice! If you missed out on some of the final figures from this line, you're in luck. 2005 Board member big hank has found Powercore Combiners
Grimstone with Dinobots at discount store TJ Maxx in Farmington, New Mexico. Hopefully this means the remaining figures from the Powercore line that didn't see a mass release will find their way to other discount stores.

Wow! Nearly a year passed since the start of Hasbro-Discovery Hub Television Channel. This time last year, we were all excited to take a look at Transformers: Prime, G. I. Joe Renegades and the awesome My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (The Hub just got 20% Cooler). So, we have a great line-up for the 2nd year starting with the Season 2 of MLP: Friendship is Magic on September 17th and after Episode 23, this writer is pretty sure that everyone is looking forward to the Season 2 of Transformers: Prime.
Anyway, another new project by The Hub is Transformers: Rescue Bots. The series is due to debut in 2012 and will focus on teaching children about Hazards and Safety. The toyline is releasing way ahead of the planned TV Series and today we are bringing you the Official Images, Descriptions and a TV Commercial for the Toyline.
*Speculation: The background song from the commercial may be the Theme Song of the TV Series?
Continue on for the Official Images and Descriptions.

Valent Wang, along with famed TRANSFORMERS comic book artist Don Figueroa (Dreamwave's Transformers: The War Within, IDW Publishing's Transformers On-Going) have announced the formation of a new company, Mecha Workshop, which features an online comic as well as a collectable action figure line featuring customizable mech-figures that convert and have alternate modes!
The free-to-view online comic will be written by Dan Taylor (former editor IDW Publishing) and drawn by acclaimed artist Don Figueroa. The comic will showcase the unique universe of Mecha Workshop and develop a full back-story and current on-going story of heroes and villains! Lettering for the comic will be done by Thomas Mauer.
Celebrity artists Enrico Galli and Luca Zampriolo are also on board for this project. While both will be behind illustrations, the colors, graphics, and visual effects will be handled by Enrico Galli and Luca Zampriolo will be doing the sculpting.
This all new toy-line will premiere with the Infantry Unit Mech figure, who is a fit for a diverse range of combat situations!

Director Michael Bay
visited his Official Forum (S4TE) to tell us that “Transformers” might get re-released in IMAX Theaters.
“I think they are really considering re releasing Transformers on IMAX again. From what I heard from Paramount.”It is unclear what “Transformers Live Action Movie” he is referring to, but since he posted the comment at a “
Bring back TF3 3D to Imax” thread, we can safely assume that Mr. Bay is referring to Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
Stay Tuned With TFW2005 For More Info.
