Dark of the Moon Eggbods

Here's something for the oddities shelf - Transformers Dark of the Moon Eggbods. Eggbods are small wind-up toys with egg shaped bodies, who can swap their top halves with one another. The Transformers versions are cute super-deformed versions of Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee, known in this series as Eggtimus Prime, Eggatron and Bumble Egg (the factions also got new names, Auto-Eggs and Decepti-Eggs). They look like great, cute fun toys and they're available now in the UK priced £5.99! Eggatron even comes with a shotgun!

Here's something fun for you this morning. The Delta 4 rocket that recently launched the GPS IIF-2 satellite had a very interesting mission patch. Check out the shape of it - does it look familiar to you? Perhaps the GPS IIF-2 or the Delta 4 are more than meets the eye... or at the very least there's someone on staff who thought slapping an Autobrand on the mission would be cool.

The latest reveal from TFC Toys (via the TFClub Weibo) about their Hercules custom Devastator is the weapon system. Several 2005 Boards members have suggested that the various guns that come with Exgraver and the rest might combine, and they were right on the money! This new concept sketch shows how the various guns would appear to clip together, Landcross style, into a single gigantic rifle weapon for the final combiner. Check out the sketch and join in the ongoing discussion about Hercules by clicking the discuss link.

We here at TFW have been busy as heck since Botcon 2011. Almost non stop, the site picked up leading into the Transformers movie launch. Increased users online, server problems, and a ton of other things, kept us in a tizzy.

One thing we overlooked was the fact that one of TFW2005's own, Dark-Sakura, won 1st place for her entry into the Botcon 2011 Art Contest. On top of it being awesome she won, and down with 2005, the other angle is that she is none-other than the daughter of long time 2005 Veteran Shin-Gouki.

We congratulate her, and her proud dad, for taking home the prize. (And apologize for taking so long to get this up!)

Check out the entry after the break, and if you are a 2005 member and won something during Botcon 2011, make sure to let us know!

Bic Camera Exclusive Dark Steel

2005 Boards member Gaokaiser dropped by to share with us an image of an advertisement for a new Bic Camera exclusive Transformer. Dark Steel, who will be called Dark Iron on his US release, will be released in Japan as a Bic Camera exclusive item. Don't worry US fans, he will still be a general release as a part of Wave 5 as well - this promotion is like the old "USA editions" of days gone past.

Additionally, this advert marks the first publicly available image of Dark Iron / Dark Steel. As revealed at Botcon he's a retooled version of Sideswipe in black and teal, who gains a lot of yellow in robot mode. He also wields a recolor of Starscream's MechTech weapon! The new head is unfortunately not very easy to see on this image. He's supposed to be a Beast Wars Quickstrike homage, how well do you think he pulls this style off?

On the last Hasbro-Press Meeting, Brian Goldner; the President and CEO of Hasbro mentioned that profits were low due to the fact that there were no Transformers Live Action Movies to boost the toy sales. But, now that there is one… guess? Oh yes! Here comes profit!

Hasbro issued a press release mentioning…

"As expected, top line momentum in our business began to build during the quarter, led by strong gains in the TRANSFORMERS brand, driven by TRANSFORMERS: Dark of the Moon, and BEYBLADE, as well as continued double-digit growth in the International segment," Goldner said. "We have continued to make important investments in our business which will help drive both top and bottom line growth in the future. In the third quarter we are launching key new initiatives, including the global introduction of KRE-O, our new construction brand, the addition of the SESAME STREET brand to our preschool business, and innovative new products in core brands such as FURREAL FRIENDS and LITTLEST PET SHOP."

But most of the profit from the third movie will be counted for the third quarter.

Licensing revenue associated with TRANSFORMERS: Dark of the Moon will begin to be recorded in the third quarter 2011.

Transformers Prime Starscream and Wheeljack Concepts by Jose

Transformers Prime concept artist Jose Lopez has shared some rare behind the scenes material of a pair of Transformers Prime characters - Wheeljack and Starscream. These concepts show the characters at an earlier stage of their design. Key elements to note from these designs is that Starscream has a lot more bulk to his build on this design compared to his lean finalised design. Wheeljack equally has a bit more mass to him - he's distinctly less sleek than the Drift inspired version in the show.

Check out the original pages on Jose's Deviant Art Account:

Crazy Devy Omega Supreme Leg Extensions
 
Originally posted by: Sol Fury @ TFW2005.com

CrazyDevy have unveiled their latest custom add-on kit for vintage Generation 1 - massive additional leg tracks for Omega Supreme. Compared with the original, where the yellow clips reached to the knees, there seems to be a good extra inch of material between the tops of the clips and the knees - so it gives Omega a bit more height. In fact, CrazyDevy are boasting that the total height of Omega Supreme with these add-ons is 330mm. The parts are listed on CrazyDevy's own site at $29.95 and are expected to be released in August or September.

iGear PP04 Bumblebee

iGear have released an image of their PP04 on their Facebook page. PP04 will be an unofficial custom Bumblebee, presumably in scale with their PP05 Ratchet and Ironhide and Seeker customs. The image so far does not give much insight into the mold other than the fact it is coming - and we'd lay even money on there being a Cliffjumper variant in store as well, if not Bug Bite, Glyph and other variant versions.

2nd TFcon 2011 Exclusive Announced: Head Robots Toxin

The 2nd TFcon 2011 exclusive is Toxin!
When Lord Zarak needed someone to help copy the Headmaster and Transtector technology that Stronghold pioneered, he turned to Toxin. Toxin biggest claim to fame back on Cybertron was the mass cloning process of Reflector which bulked out Megatron's army during the early days of the war. He made 3 special clones for himself Edge, Shield and Bullet (Dubbed the NIGHT OPS SFX) as his hired goons to help get him needed "materials" for future experiments.
All was going well for Toxin till he along with Lord Zarak got captured by the Autobots. His personal Transtector body was destroyed in the scuffle and now he hopes to break free and commandeer a new one.

Produced by Head Robots, you can now give your headless G1 figures a much needed upgrade. This figure is limited to only 100 pieces and limited to one per attendee.

TFcon features Canada's largest dealer room for Transformers merchandise, question and answer panels and autograph sessions with many special guests including Transformers writer Simon Furman and Transformers voice actors Garry Chalk and Paul Eiding; artists Joe Ng, Alex Milne and Matt Moylan, a costume and customs contest and fan discussion panels.

TFcon - Canada's 10th Annual Transformers Collectors Convention is July 30th and 31st, 2011 at the Delta Meadowvale Resort and Conference Centre in Mississauga, Ontario with free parking. You can book your hotel room for TFcon 2011 via the hotel reservation website.
