GetterDragun has posted the following information this morning:

"TFW2005 is reporting that Action Toy House is saying that the next reisue is G2 Laser Prime. I don't understand this because you can still pick up G2 Laser Prime for under 100 bucks on ebay, which is what they'll probably charge for him anyways. What is Takara thinking with this ... hmmm G2 Laser Prime or saying, Black Zarak, Browning, Art Fire, Victory Saber, a Headmaster."

Stay tuned for more information. We'll help you sort out whether this is fact or fiction!

HobbyLink Japan have updated thier on line store with listings for TFC-21 Broadcast (AKA G1 Blaster) and C-00 Primus! It was previously thought that both the TFC line and the later half of Galaxy force (including Primus) were to be cancelled by Takara, is this evidence that both lines will continue or another Hobbylink Japan mix up? You decide.

Over at the Don Murphy Board a poster named fflashfusion has claimed to be Roberto Orci, one of the current script writers to the upcoming Transformers Live Action movie. He posted the following post;

Roberto Orci here, in probably Alex and my one and only post, to tell you that we do care what the fans think, and we have been paying attention. We appreciate all the input, and if we are lucky enough to have our script cut the mustard and get this movie made, it will have been with your help.

May all of our mojo go to whatever is best for the Transformers.

Chances are that this is another hoax, but you can never know. It wouldn't hurt to express your personal views here, as Don Murphy and his men do indeed read all the posts on the board.

Update:
Don Murphy himself has confirmed that the poster claiming to be the writers duo, was a fraud. He closed the thread and posted the following;

This poster (who somehow joined under Robert's email address) was NOT Robert.

This poster is gone and the thread locked.

Robert has been invited along with Alex to come say hi, and he just might. He still has a script to finish, but hopefully they will pop by.

In the meantime, hang tight.

Nevermore from The Allspark got some info from a Japanese about a POSSIBLE Galaxy Force Soundwave repaint for the TRU.

Click here for the original post and here for the pic from the Japanese Image Board!

Note: This only a RUMOUR for now!

-UPDATE-

Cloudimus Prime, who is from the Allspark as well, translated the sentences on the pic:


Main body (ie. Soundblaster)
Force Chip
Original Card x 1
Mini Robot x 2 (Buzzsaw & Condor)

Edit: It also says that Soundblaster is Soundwave's power up form.

See Cloudimus Prime's original post here.

-FURTHER UPDATE- Nevermore of TFW2005's contact in Japan has debunked the rumor as essentially a “prank” aimed at TF websites that borrow images without crediting. Read the full story here at TFW2005.

Generation 1! KidDynamite of TFW2005.com reports the proposed gap line between Transformers Cybertron and the toy line to accompany the 2007 Live Action Movie is an updated G1!
He reports BOTCON attendees were shown:

Starscream in robot and jet mode (F15); tons of detail and articulation.

Also shown was.............

A gun Megatron. I swear we´re not making this up. He was a pistol looking gun with a Scope. Again lots of detail, no robot mode shown though.

We were told that the line would be comprised of Deluxes and Megas (Starscream was a deluxe), and that the idea was to go for a cross between Alternators detail and Cybertron play patterns.

Addition infomation about this line has bee supplied by TFormers.com

Proposal for After Cybertron
Alternator’s Realism/Cybertron Playability. Example figures shown:

o G1, modern take on Starscream - F15, highly detailed.
PICS (Bot & Vehicle): Starscream is kind of like a cross between a modern Macross figure, and a larger Robot Masters Starscream in vehicle mode. It looks almost exactly like a F-15 display model. In bot mode it's pretty menacing with some HUGE guns on his arms.

o Megatron as a gun. Huge - revolver-like, but obviously fake.
PIC (Bot): For a comparison of what the gun looks like. It kind of looks like the gun from 'Judge Dredd', but with a fat scope on the top of it.


It is important to note this series is NOT set in stone, this is just a proposal for a filler series that might never happen.
