It’s been a long time coming, but it is finally here! Today we are proud to announce the launch of our comprehensive Japanese Transformers category! Yes, the TFW2005 Transformers Resources section is no longer limited to just the American Transformers series! Now our resources coverage is expanded to every major Japanese Transformers line as well – from the Japanese only toys released as a part of Takara’s Headmasters series in 1987, to the brand new, current Takara-Tomy Transformers Animated releases. We have sections dedicated to the Binaltechs and Masterpieces. The various Japanese Beast Wars series are all also represented, as is the series that got it all started for us 10 years ago – Transformers Car Robots.
But we have so much more than the main lines too. We have a comprehensive section covering the many different series of Transformers PVCs licensed and released by Takara, and a section for those awesome limited edition Lucky Draw Transformers. Plus we are very proud to announce quite possibly the most comprehensive coverage of the Transformers Kabaya kits anywhere on the internet. These extremely cool candy toys began with Transformers in 1985 and have stayed with it right up until the present day, and we are proud to make this detailed section on these quite often overlooked Transformers collectibles available to you, the fans.
This section has been a labor of love for all of us involved, and we hope you all enjoy it as much as we have in making it a reality. I would particularly like to draw your attention to the help of the 2005 staff members and supporters who have made all this possible. First and foremost, I would like to give a big thanks to SydneyY for all his support with translations and compiling information on the Kabaya section. Next I would also like to thank SmokescreenGT for all his work on the Binaltech section, and Trebleshot for his work on Car Robots. I would also like to thank 2005 Contributor flywheels 2005 Boards Supporter kenucme for generously allowing us to use their vast archives of boxed Transformers images, allowing us to fill in many blanks. Lastly I would like to thank all the other members of the staff and of the boards who have supported us along the way, and I hope will continue to support us as we continue to expand our Transformers Resources section into the ultimate reference for fans hardcore and casual alike.

I'll be forever grateful to Akatsukidou (暁堂) sama for his contribution to the Kabaya section.

Aww thanks mate!

US Masterpiece Skywarp has the same faces as Masterpiece Starscream. Japanese Masterpiece Skywarp had different faces. The difference was apparently because Hasbro decided that the Starscream faces looked better and fit the character of Skywarp better.
I'll review the wording to see if I can make it any clearer.

I'm grateful that you finally got these up and running. I have a problem though. I bought MP Skywarp in the store here in the U.S. and he does indeed have both faces. Is this in error?

TFW2005.com's Resources has been SO immensely helpful for me over the last long while. It's fastly became my first place to go to for anything related to Transformers toy information. MAJOR props to those who really worked hard on contributing to everything.

The new section looks great! I'm glad I was able to help with the pics. I'll double check and see if I have any pics for the listings w/ no pictures too.
The Crazy Collector

You guys are fucking awesome for this. Well done.

Wow. Just took a browse through there and I must say that's quit an impressive list. Now I'll be able to come to TFW's resources to check out info on both US and Japanese releases.
Also, on a side note, I'd honestly forgotten that many of the Unicron Trilogy characters had different names in Japan than they did in the US…

Sweet!
