Kapow Toys have put a pre-order for the Chinese reissue of the Generation One Ultra Magnus figure.  The toy is going to be a Toys R Us exclusive and will give fans who missed out on the previous re-issues another chance to buy the figure.

e-Hobby have posted three new listings over night for some forth-coming Transformers Prime Arms Micron figures.  The toys are:

1. AM-24 - Silas Breakdown (a black recolour of Arms Micron Breakdown)
2. AM-25 - Nemesis Prime (A Black recolour of Arms Micron Optimus Prime)
3. AM-26 - Smokescreen (A white recolour of Arms Micron Knockout)

You can view images of the toys as well as their Arms Micron partners by following the jump

BigBadToyStore have posted a video preview of the Transformers Prime Dark Energon Optimus Prime and Megatron sets which you can watch below

Back in July we recorded a video tour of our Transformers display which we have dubbed as "The Transformers Museum". Well, we've finally gotten around to recording the narration for the video and have now uploaded it onto YouTube for your viewing pleasure.  You can find it on YouTube where it's titled "Transformers Toy Collection: Transformers Display Room from Transformers At The Moon" or by clicking the plug-in below.  The video is available in 240p,360p,480p and 1080p for those with HD support and a fast internet connection.

The sound-bite at the end is Lorenzo Di Bonaventura and was recorded during the International Junket for the first live-action Transformers film when Moonbug got to interview him for the website.

We don't often produce videos for the website with us speaking, so you may want to turnof the sound if the narration annoys you too much ;) but let us know what you think over on YouTube, Facebook, Google+ or via Twitter.

For those of you still looking for some Transformers: Dark of the Moon figures you may be pleased to hear that the UK high street retailer, The Entertainer, is currently stocking the deluxe class figures for the reduced price of £6.50 including Darksteel, the recolour of DOTM Sideswipe.

Our thanks go out to Duckstar for letting us know via Twitter and for sending through the following image.

Following on from the Prototype Transformers Fall of Cybertron Starscream figure shown off on ACToys, another purple and green testshot has seen the light of day, this time it's Transformers Fall of Cybertron Kickback

Andrew "Hydra" Hall has tweeted, via the e-Hobby Shop Twitter account, that they have placed more sets of the Shattered Glass Vs set (Blaster and Soundwave) up for pre-order due to the number of customers who were unable to place their orders in time.

If you live in Japan and are after the figure you can place an order from the e-Hobby website here for 13,900 yen.

Following on from the previous news story from NYCC which contained the preview trailer for season 3 of Transformers Prime which will contain the subtitle "Beast Hunters", we can bring you some preview images of the first Predacon toy, Predaking, thanks to TFW2005.

The images of the figure, which can be viewed after the jump, have been mirrored from TFW2005 as that website is currently serving malware and is unsafe for visitors until the admnistrators remove the infected files.  If you visit the website you will receive a warning in your browser regarding the malicious trojan software which has probably been uploaded as a result of a vunerability within the v-Bulletin platform which runs the website.  Once the site becomes available again you will be able to find the original images here, but until that time simply click on the heading of this news article in order to view the mirrored imges.

Predaking is the leader of the Predacon, a third group of Cybertronians who, according to the hints within the preview video as well as the background stand, are the "Decepticons ultimate weapon".  The toy of Predking is a homage to both the original Generation One Predacons, in terms of colour scheme, as well as Transformers Galaxy Force Flame Convoy (Transformers Cybertron Scourge).

The figure is only shown within his dragon form, though if you look closely you will see the shape of the head quite clearly.  We have enlarged one of the images to help highlight this which you can view below.

TFW2005 have a nice gallery and review of Transformers Prime Thundertron (based on a character from the Transformers Exodus novel).

Wave 3 of the Transformers Generations Fall of Cybertron toys have now been confirmed.  The product cases will be packed as follows.

1) Ultra Magnus x 2
2) Sideswipe x 2
3) Starscream x 2
4) Fireflight x 1
5) Insecticon x 1

Alfes 2010 has done some nice work translating the profile, backstory and bio for Transformers United Combat Master Prime (Power Core Combiners)

The battle between Autobot and Decepticon for the Power Core Drones was one that would determine the course of a new generation. Two Transformers crouched in the snow, both precariously low on energy. Around them were scattered four drones. Then, laughter rang out beside them.

“You should know that victory all comes down to strategy… Unite!”
As another Transformer, Combatmaster, calmly appeared on the battlefield, the four drones obeyed his will and merged together with him.

“Ung.. How could the Decepticons know about the project… They’ve got their own Master Class?”
Paying little attention to the gravely wounded Choppermaster, the cool-headed strategist Combatmaster lifted his injured comrade up off the ground.

“We’re called ‘Master Chaos.’ Of course, you’ll be the first and the last Autobot to ever know that name. Farewell.”

Speaking these words, Combatmaster fired off a barrage that struck the snowy slopes far above them. Moments later, the area resonated with a soft echo. The sound grew louder and louder, and soon a thundering avalanche swept toward them. Leaving the wounded Autobot to meet his fate, Combatmaster flew off into the distance.

Inside the secret Decepticon underground base, Combatmaster saluted the visage that appeared on a wall monitor.

“Very soon, High Regent. All of the Power Core Drones will be under our control.”
The figure he addressed showed not even a hint of emotion in response, with a face as expressionless as a mask.

“Use the combiner created from your data as a diversion… While the Autobots are occupied, we shall seize victory. We are the rightful masters of the next generation.”

Takara Tomy have updated their webpage for the upcoming Transformers Masterpiece Lambor (Sideswipe).

The images include some high resolution close up shots of the highly anticipated figure.

Many thanks go to Full Metal Hero for posting a confirmation images that some Toymaster stores are now stiocking Transformers Prime Wave 5 figures which include Kup, Rumble and Shadow Strike Bumblebee.

So far just Kup and Bumblebee have been spotted.

The only down side is that not everywhere has a toymaster, and if you live in an area like us, we never got past Wave 2.

The Malaysian Blog Famitoy have posted a picture of an upcoming Kabaya release of Big Powered.  Big Powered is the combined form of Dai Atlas, Sonic Bomber and Roadfire.  You can check out the image below: kabaya-
