Some of the Asian Transformers Fans would know that 2012 Hong Kong Toy Fair and the 2012 Licensing Expo was held recently at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Center. Hasbro was there at the Licensing Expo showcasing their Transformers product line for Asia.

At the Toy Fair however, there were some Licensed Transformers products by Fortune Merchandising Concepts Ltd. These toys are PVC Movieverse Robot Figures (Pictured with this article).

Going back to the Hong Kong Licensing Expo 2012, thanks to Atamaii we have some awesome Licensed products (mostly by previously mentioned Fortune Merchandising Concepts Ltd.) including Movie Bumblebee and Optimus Electronic Coin Banks, Sneakers, Trading Card Collection Album, Phone Covers, Key Chains, Stampers and much much more. Check out the videos, after the jump.

We don't normally report on "news coming soon" items, but we thought you might like to know when the Transformers Collectors Club were planning on potentially opening up preorders for their exclusives Shattered Glass Drift and Runabout. According to a recent post on Twitter:

Right now, the TENTATIVE date for Runabout and Drift pre-orders are last week of January. Maybe even the last day of January.

Please note the use of the word tentative - this is all subject to change and it may slip back into February. A later post on Twitter when asked if these are going up this week received the response:

Most likely no. Trying to have a buffer between Iacon and the Runabout/Drift orders


So there you have it. The most likely day for preorders going up is probably the 30th - 31st of January.


Stay tuned to for more information as it becomes available to pass on to you.

It's not just UK based fans who are getting some good stuff from the "Laminated Book of Dreams" (aka Argos). Argos have updated their website with new official pictures of toys we only found out even existed a couple of days ago! Shown here in official pictures we have: Voyager Class Megatron in robot mode, Deluxe Class Vehicon (new mold) and Bumblebee redeco (with a new head!) again in robot mode. Cyberverse Energon Driller with Knockout is also shown, and can be seen at left. Official pictures of Cyberverse Legion Evac and Mirage - a red RotF Legend Sideways redeco - round out the update.

Also of note, these pages seem to confirm the size classes are getting name updates - Deluxes, a name that's been around since Beast Wars, will now be Revealers, while the Voyager Class which came in in Transformers Cybertron will now evidently be called Powerizers.

Spearmark To Bring Licensed Transformers: Prime Products To

Transformers: Prime Toys aren’t the only Prime related stuff United Kingdom getting this year. On the December 2011 edition of Royaltie$ Magazine, it says that Spearmark; a leading manufacturer and distributor of children's licensed housewares and lighting is to distribute products based on Transformers: Prime under Hasbro’s permission.

This writer got his hands on the magazine and read below for the excerpt…

Hasbro Inks New International Deals

"Hasbro Global Licensing reached an agreement with Spearmark to make Transformers Prime and My Little Pony back-to-school and household items, such as lunchware, drinkware, and lighting. These items will be available in the summer of 2012 in the UK and Ireland.

Hasbro signed a licensing agreement with Universal Cycles Ltd. to bring to market skates, bikes, helmets, and other accessories based on the Nerf brand. The new outdoor recreational goods will expand the current line, which includes Nerf-licensed skateboards and scooters. Universal Cycles’ Nerf range will be sold exclusively at Toys “R” Us in Pan-European markets now through spring 2012. Ingo also signed on to create Nerf-branded electronic accessories. Products will be available this winter in Spain and reach the rest of Europe spring 2012."

Spearmark's official website is now updated for the upcoming product release.

"Roll out with Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Arcee, Ratchet, Bulkhead, and the rest of the heroic Autobots as they battle the evil Decepticons. Now that big bad Megatron has returned with a mysterious and dangerous element, Team Prime must prepare for an epic battle. But that's not so easy when they have to guard over Jack, Miko, and Raf -- three normal kids who’ve accidentally discovered the Autobots. As Team Prime works to defend Earth from destruction, the drama gets just as intense as the heavy metal action."

The bottom left corner of the scan also shows a (very, very small) picture of some prototypes, one of whom was identified as Breakdown.

So far, so groovy. Next up, there are some pictures of some new Mini-Cons. These are new molds, and seem to be more like Targetmasters than ever before. These would be the same ones seen attached to the remolded First Edition Optimus Prime in this news story. Now we know what their secret is!

Renderform Gold Scout Upgrade Kit Pictorial Review

2005 Board member, Obakemono, has provided a pictorial review for the latest offering from Renderform. The Gold Scout updgrade kit is for the United Bumblebee figure and takes the shiny gold version of the classics mold and turns him into a faithful representation of Generation 1 Goldbug!

The Gold Scout kit comes with the following:
  • 4 piece head (Front,Back,Face,Visor)
  • additional visor piece in solid blue
  • Three Weapons (Orders placed early will receive five weapons, two of which will be cast in translucent plastic and can be seen in the review)
Renderform owner and 2005 Board member Venksta has also dropped us a line saying "The solid blue visor is now part of paid preorders, and all other orders will not recieve it, but in exchange will recieve a gray gun (to be shown). Anyone wanting the solid blue visor can get it, instead of getting the gray gun.

Paid preorders are shipping now and anyone who didn't pay yet can expect invoices in the next 2-3 weeks.

More Goldbug kits will be available at Renderform.com after all preorders are shipped out."

Take a look at all the images after the break!

Dark of the Moon Nominated For Three Academy Awards

Transformers: Dark of the Moon may have made around $1.1 Billion, but can it win an Academy Award? The nominations for the 2012 Academy Awards have been released and Transformers: Dark of the Moon is in the running for three Oscars.

The movie is up for Sound Editing (alongside Drive, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Hugo, and War Horse), Sound Mixing (alongside The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Hugo, Moneyball, and War Horse). And what is probably surprising no one the movie is also up for a Visual Effects award; going up against Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 2, Hugo, Real Steel, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Do you think Dark of the Moon has a chance? Do you think the mere fact that the film is even considered for the awards to be a crime against humanity? Hit the 'Discuss' link below to talk about these topics and more with the community over on the 2005 Boards.

"IT IS THE YEAR 2005..."As the opening narration of the 1986 Transformers Animated movie, those few words ring out in your mind like a shotgun. Victor Caroli is the man who read that line and helped inspire the name TFW2005. Victor provided the narration for the original Sunbow Productions Transformers cartoon, Transformers: The Movie, the commercial bumpers and many Transformers toy commercials. 2005 Board member Jon3pnt0 recently had the privilege of interviewing Victor. In the interview he discusses how he got involved with the Transformers cartoon, why he passed on a part in the Michael Bay films, and much more!
