On the Seibertron.com march to 2,500 galleries in 2011, we present to you the Universe/Revenge of the Fallen Aerialbots and their combined form of Superion. This five pack was a Target exclusive in the US in Revenge of the Fallen packaging, as well as a Universe 2.0 general release in Asian countries such as Malaysia, similar to Universe/ROTF Bruticus.
Seibertron.com and the Twincast are proud to present our first episode of 2011! We're kicking the new year off with a bang as we get together to discuss some of the latest and greatest happenings in the world of Transformers.
First on our plate, we revisit some of the coolest TF products/events from last year,
A few weeks ago, we let you know that third party toymaker iGear was planning to release new head accessories for your Masterpiece Convoy/Prime, Ultra Magnus, and Black Convoy. At the time, the head we showed you was a prototype leaving many to question whether the coloring would be correct for the final versions. Well, wonder no more: iGear has updated their online store with new images of all three heads in full color.
As a reminder, the heads will cost $18 dollars for one or can be purchased in a set for $50 dollars. Their release date is listed as next week, 1/10/2011.
Thanks to our tenacious site member El Duque for updating us on the latest news on third party toymaker iGear's deluxe Kup head upgrade, now called Kup01. According to the update, the set will include not one, but two heads for your deluxe RTS/United Kup figure: one with the "cygar" and one without. The set is expected to be released in mid-March (listed as March 20th) and will cost 12.99 which includes free shipping. While we still haven't see the final, colored versions of these heads, iGear has added a few new teaser images of the prototype to their site which have been mirrored below.

Omega_Prime, member of fellow fansite TFW2005, has posted what appears to be confirmation of what many collectors have been waiting to hear: Masterpiece Rodimus will be released in the US and UK. According to his post, he is an employee of Toys R' Us and while doing a search for interesting new listings, he came across the following update:
He also added in a follow-up post that the MP Rodimus listing was tagged a "global exclusive" which would indicate that it will be aToys R' Us exclusive in non-Takara markets.
Since most of the other listings have already been confirmed for release such as the Cyberverse and Mechtech figures, hopefully this information is true. However, because this news isn't coming directly from Hasbro or other sources from Toys R' Us, we're treating this as a rumor for now.
Goosefish from Actoys.net had posted new galleries of Ninja (not Rosanna) and Kingbat (Not-Ratbat). The galleries also provided some pics how they interact with current Generations and Animated figures.
