Movie-Accurate Leader Prime! - 1 year late!
check out the custom repaints of our fellow TFPH member, Mampy.
posting it here from the TFPH forumsHey guys, here are pics of my latest (and probably last for some time) custom - a premium leader class optimus prime!
at first i really disliked the leader class mold, but this custom was inspired by that nice gallery at toysdaily.com showing the takara premium prime. it made me say, "hey, this mold actually does have potential:P"
this custom has been in the works for the past 2 or 3 months. i could barely find time to finish him because of school.

MAXIMUM DINOBOTS #1 - SPOTLIGHT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
IDW RELEASES THE TRANSFORMERS:
MAXIMUM DINOBOTS #1 - SPOTLIGHT
(San Diego, December 8, 2008) Transformers fans have been waiting for the
Dinobots to get a series of their very own for a long time. At last, IDW
releases the long-awaited, full-fledged modern day debut of the Dinobot team
in The Transformers: Maximum Dinobots. The book will be in stores December
10.
Bringing some of the most popular characters from the original cartoon back
to life with a fresh take are Transformers uber-scribe Simon Furman, artist
Nick Roche, and colorist Josh Burcham, with cover art by Marcelo Matere and
Roche.
The Transformers: Maximum Dinobots brings together the team for the first
time in thousands of years, but it's far from a happy reunion. And out to
spoil the party further is Scorponok and his Machination/Headmaster army.
But he has two Autobots hot on his trail in Sunstreaker and Hot Rod.
And when all parties collide, expect mayhem, machinations, melee, and, of
course, Maximum Dinobots!
The story enhances the rich tapestry of Transformers lore for long-time
readers, but also is friendly for new readers - anyone can start at Page 1
and not miss a beat. And the first issue arrives just before Christmas on
December 10th!
It's an adventure not to be missed!

15 feet tall Optimus Prime in DLS - CSB
I just saw this post in Royce's multiply and this custom made Optimus Prime is standing in the basketball court of DLS-CSB, I think the figure is made by students for the coming Christmas event in their school.
according to Royce "Yes, Optimus Prime of the Autobots unexpectedly came to College of Saint Benilde thanks to the organizer of the Children's Christmas Party. The Testing Personnel gladly had fun with Prime during the photoshoot."

Encore, Henkei, & Other TakaraTomy Sighted.
It would be surreal but its true TakaraTomy products the Japanese released Transformers has been sighted in local stores. The vintage reissues of Jazz, Ratchet, and Ironhide from the Encore toyline goes for PhP 999.75 pesos.
The Transcans of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee from the Transformers The Movie toyline goes for PhP 1,299.00 pesos. The Japanese version of TF Classics/TF Universe known as Henkei had Deluxe Class Grimlock (PhP 700 pesos) and Voyager Class Optimus Prime (PhP 1,200 pesos). There's the Transformers The Movie Leader Class Megatron (PhP 999.75) and Voyager Class Ratchet (PhP 699.75) on sale that had the TakaraTomy sticker on the box now all over the place.
Let's hope Playkit (The local distributor) continue bringing not only the Hasbro releases, but TakaraTomy editions.
Sighted also are the TF Universe Ultra Class Storm Cloud (repaint of Powerglide) and Silverbolt. TF Universe two-pack box sets, but sold out are Deluxe Class Sideswipe and Silverstreak. As well as the rumored TF Animated Swoop which was no longer in sight.
Check out your local department stores for these newly released Transformes. Prepare a long Holiday season as more are coming!

Pretender Robots in Revenge of the Fallen
We got this heads up from TFW2005 that there will be a female character in the movie named Alice who transforms in to a humanoid robot. A transformer who hides in a human shell also known as Pretenders.
The TFW TF2 Insider has confirmed that the character of Alice, as played by Isabel Lucas, in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, is a Pretender. For those not familiar with Transformers sublines from the 1980s, Pretenders are Transformers that are hidden inside a shell that acts as their disguise. In the case of Alice, the shell will be an attractive human woman while the inner robot is best described as a hybrid of the Frenzy robot design from the first movie. The Pretender Transformer will have an arm that transforms into an energy weapon, a long tongue, and a scanning tentacle.So we will be seeing a female android like character in the movie. This is interesting. Let's hope this concept will work out good for the movie.
First Look: Masterpiece Grimlock
The most anticipated TransFormers masterpiece toy. Here is the prototype photos I got from maruzen-toy.com. More photos after the jump. Enjoy.
Transformers Animated The Game - Nintendo DS
Transformers Animated Series has now spun its first (and hopefully not the last) video game. It is the Transformers Animated The Game for the Nintendo DS handheld based on the latest Transformation Animated series.
Transformers Animated The Game Box Art
The only playable character here are Optimus Prime, Bulk Head, Bumble Bee and Prowl. Each has its own distinct abilities which prompts the users to often switch between characters inside the game. These are some of the screenshots I've taken from the first part of the game which will further explains how the game play is like:
This is the switch to Bulk Head in Mission mode. He is able to block enemy attacks and pounce through obstacles (e.g. breakable walls and doors). He can aim through objects and unleash his wrecjking ball for damage and unlocking doors. He can't jump though.
Bumble Bee's ability in Mission Mode is the stingers which is essential to destroy enemies and open up generators and lifts. Bumble Bee has the ability to jump to walls.
Optimus Prime can use his grappling hook to zip up or down through obstacles and use his giant axe to slash through enemies or throw it at them. He can also block attacks
This is Prowl in Race Mode. He can zip left and right to avoid other vehicles in the road and jump up through obstacles. He can also transform and shoot stars at flying or moving enemies. It is said that Optimus Prime and Bumble Bee can be used in Race Mode as well.
Some more screenshots from the game:
Here is a sample of its gameplay on the Nintendo DS Hand Held:

Soundwave is a Satellite in Revenge of the Fallen
Just got a heads up from Seibertron.com. They've got a scoop from a anonymous but reliable source about the much anticipated alternate form of our fav decepticon Soundwave. We know that Soundwave started as a cassette player during the 80's and evolved in to different forms. In the new animated series, soundwave's alternate form is a Toyota Scion xB thus fans anticipated that Soundwave will indeed be a vehicle in the next movie.
Last year a concept artwork spread in the internet revealing a very reliable design for soundwave.
But it turns out that it is just a fanart.
But today it is the day that this rumors are cleared because Soundwave's alternate form in the movie is none other than a space satellite.
TF News: Next Masterpiece is finally confirmed...GRIMLOCK
reported by Heer0san
Hot News: After months of speculation, its finallly confirmed, MP-08 is definitely is Grimlock. Check out the prototype pics in T-Rex and Robot modes

: TF Toy Review: TF Classics V.2/Universe Sunstreaker
Name: Sunstreaker
Series: Classics V.2/ Universe
Release: July 2008
Manufactured By: Hasbro
Variations: none as of now
Accessories: laser gun, car accessory(dunno what its called) & Instruction manual
Packaging: Carded
Size: Deluxe class
Toy Review by: JayCee
read more in our forums here
Introduction:
Sunstreaker was first seen in the Transformers Generation 1 series. He was probably known as 1 of the first Autobots to have crash landed on Earth a million years ago carried by the Ark. He is also a twin brother of Sideswipe
Vehicle Mode:
In vehicle mode he is very astonishing with a Lamborghini like alternate mode. Color is very catchy and well done aside from the chest plate which seem to be having a dirty yellow painting.
Vehicle scale Comparison:
Looks so good with fellow autobots almost all were at the same scale in vehicle mode.
Transformation:
transformation is quite difficult since its car mode is tightly done and well locked. He possesses a simple automorph mechanism which is located in its chest. Rotating the chest in robot mode allows its head to come up.
Robot Mode:
In robot mode………………………..WOW! This is so cool……my HONEST reaction pardon me. Robot mode is really great especially the amount of articulation it was given.
His mufflers turned to be his laser gun and the car accessory(dunno what its called) is attached to its back to give you that nostalgic G1 look.
Thanks to previous other reviews I find a cool toy gimmick which I think will be later on use for his twin brother I guess this proves that they really are twins even though they have different robot mode appearance
Robot scale Comparison:
he outstands when compared to other Classics perhaps a minor miscalculation there. I really do not know how tall he is compared to other autobots. ^_^
Comments:
for my overall reaction I find it VERY good. I’m not a fan of Hasbro but they really out done it this time and I’m giving my applauses for it. Some may have very loose parts on my part it came to be the car’s door they seem to be too loose in robot form but in general joints are tight.
I’ll be giving him 9 robot points, 1 point less for improvement and that’s all.
Sorry for the poor images I have. please bear with me....
