Transformers Generations Classics 3.0

It's not just Transformers Prime's Preview series that has been released in Hong Kong - newly released are the next two Transformers Generations toys, the so called "last of 2011", Sky Shadow and Junkheap. Some in hand images of Junkheap, showing the new head, have been posted over at HK-TF.com. An in hand image of Sky Shadow has also been posted up, and comes to us from Hong Kong store Hobbybase via The Allspark.

I've got it on good authority that these are headed out to certain online stores and specialty retailers as we speak - they should hopefully be making their way into the piles of loot of Transformers fans within the next couple of weeks or so - just in time for Christmas!

Thanks to ACToys (and Taobao auctions,) we now have an image of the upcoming Generations Sky Shadow toy in package. Sky Shadow is part of an impending wave of Generations alongside Junkheap, and is based upon the character Black Shadow, from Transformers: Victory (who was also a remold of a Thunderwing toy.)

Are you liking what you see? Want to talk about the toy with your fellow fans? Hop on over to the discussion thread by hitting the "Discuss on the boards" link below, and join the conversation.

For our next Transformers Toy Galleries update, we bring you Reveal the Shield Lugnut. Lugnut was one of the four Voyagers in this Classics subline, and another of Derrick J Wyatt's Transformers Animated creations who have been adopted into the mainstream. Reveal the Shield Lugnut brings a lot to the table - he's a very imposing, massive looking Decepticon, with loads of 3mm clip weapon points, and spring loaded punches. All in all, he's a fun toy and it's a pity he saw such limited distribution.

Lugnut was also released as a part of Transformers United. United Lugnut sported a very different deco to his Reveal the Shield counterpart. Check out our gallery of United Lugnut here by way of comparison:

It's time for another TFW Gallery update! After last week's blitz of movie galleries, I thought I'd highlight something for the non-Movie fans, and SydneyY shot the perfect thing. Here for your enjoyment is a gallery of Transformers United Laser Optimus Prime, the Japanese release of Reveal the Shield Generation 2 Optimus Prime. United Laser Optimus Prime makes a few changes to the deco, going for straight-up red and black in truck mode, and the clear plastic is changed up from orange to blue, giving Optimus blue eyes and windows - and a nice blue sword to boot.

Check out SydneyY's gallery of the toy we all want redecoed in black and teal and named Scourge (with a Takara-Tomy release named Black Convoy for the fans of the Car Robots incarnation) by clicking on the link below:

We've got a pair of awesome new Transformers galleries for you today! War for Cybertron Optimus Prime and Megatron are some awesome, fun toys - and both received black repaints during the summer. The Tokyo Toy Show exclusive set of these black repaints, the Darkside set, is the subject of todays gallery. Darkside Optimus Prime in this set rocks the Robots in Disguise Scourge colors, while Darkside Megatron sports a deco inspired by Animated Shadow Blade Megatron or possibly his latest IDW comics design. Either way, the deco rocks and brings out the full menace of Megatron.

Hot on the heels of the Canadian release earlier this month, the Toys R Us Generations Rage Over Cybertron three pack has been found at US Retail. This three pack features three redecoes of Generations War For Cybertron Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee. It was spotted at the Los Feliz Toys R Us in Los Angeles, California by 2005 Board member Silvershot.

With all the classics love from TFC Toys today, I thought we'd throw in a bit of our own, so I'd like to highlight to you some galleries we've had done for us by 2005 Boards Photo team member thedrkness48! Hailing from the later waves of Generations, we have galleries of Generations Wave 7, which featured Wheeljack and Thundercracker! But that's not all. In a little thing called Transformers the Movie (which I'm told recently turned 25) Thundercracker was reborn as a new Decepticon named Scourge. He got a new toy in Generations Wave 6. Guess what - we've got a gallery of him too! Click on the links below to check out the galleries:

When we shared our galleries of the Transformers United E-Hobby exclusives with you last week, I promised we had another Transformers United multipack in store. Well, we're keeping good on that promise today - on Decepticon turf you have tumbled, and here comes Rumble (and also Frenzy).

The Transformers United Frenzy & Rumble pack was sold at a Voyager pricepoint, which seems a bit steep for a pair of Scouts. Nonetheless right now it remains the only way to own this Decepticon duo, who feature some pretty nifty arm transformations to give them their signature piledriver attacks. Red or blue does not really matter - they're both here for your enjoyment and they're both rather cool. Hopefully they will one day see release at US retail rather than being forever consigned to high aftermarket prices on the United set.

But enough talk from me! Click on the links below to check out the galleries:

TFW2005 is happy to present a detailed gallery of the Amazon.com Exclusive Unicron figure, recently released this week. This is Hasbro's "more adult" paint application for the figure, done to commemorate the 25th anniversary of 1986's Transformers The Movie (in which Unicron was introduced for the first time, played a big role).

Check out over 90 high res images of the figure from all angles by checking out the gallery: Unicron (Amazon Exclusive) Gallery.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

We've got a three in one gallery update for you today! For your viewing pleasure, we have a gallery of the E-Hobby Decepticons set! This set consisted of crystal versions of Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge from the Universe & Generations series, to represent their dramatic reformatting scenes from the 1986 animated Transformers movie.

2005 Board Member Shadow Panther has noticed a new shelf tag at his local Toys R Us store in New Jersey. "Transformers Cybertron 3-Pack" with a $39.99 price tag. This is most likely the Rage Over Cybertron 3-Pack featuring the Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee Generations molds.

Keep an eye out on your Toys R Us stores and be sure to let TFW2005 know when you see these guys hit the shelves!

2005 Boards member catz has received solicitations from his supplier of an upcoming assortment of Transformers Generations toys - yes, the line lives on folks! Returning in November 2011, the assortment will feature the following toys:

2 TRA DLX GENERATIONS BLACKSHADOW (retooling of Thunderwing)
2 TRA DLX GENERATIONS JUNKION (retooling of Wreck-Gar)
1 TRA GENERATION SERGEANT KUP (repack)
2 TRA GENERATION WHEELJACK (repack)
1 TRA GENERATION WARPATH (repack)

There you have it guys, Generations is confirmed to be continuing with Black Shadow and a Junkion, two remolds of previous releases much anticipated by fans, along with repacks of the popular and hard to find Sergeant Kup, Wheeljack and Warpath. Other online retailers have also independently confirmed this information - will we get to see them at the San Diego Comic Con 2011?

E hobby has put up a page for upcoming EZ Collection Chronicle Legends figures. These figures will be released in July and feature previously released Legends figures from both the Reveal The Shield and Revenge Of The Fallen lines. A notable difference is that these figures will come blind-boxed, like gashapon/trading figures. Another notable difference is the inclusion of Thundercracker! The rest feature minor cosmetic differences.
