Galaxy Force C-00 Primus is out now in Japan from Takara. The toy features G1 Packaging and a nice image of all the Convoys. Galleries of the toy can be seen here at Fan2Fan and at TFKenkon 1,2.

The latest news on Cybertron Primus is that the figure will be available this summer to all stores. You will be able to change him from robot-mode to battle station-mode to planet-mode, and unlock cool features with the Cyber Planet Key. In addition, the INITIAL quantities released in the US will include a bonus 3-inch battle-damaged Unicron head!

There’s more good news for anyone who didn’t pick up any of Dreamwave’s Transformers Generation One comics. As well as Volumes 1 & 2 being reprinted, Volume 3 is also on the way, due to arrive in April 2006. However, according to Waterstone’s, it will have a limited availability. The cover is also shown but no price has been given yet.

So, it has come to this. Universal are missing out on a great opportunity to make money with the 10th Anniversity of Beast Wars next year, and as with all things in the UK, the fans have to do something about it.

So sign up now to the thetransformers.net Beast Wars DVD Petition. it will then be printed off and sent to Universal UK Ltd once we get enough replys. Hopefully it might get their attention.

Big news about the new Alternators for 2006!! T-formers.com is posting images of the OTTFC conventions Hasbro stands, and not only are they showing off the new Universe and Cybertron stuff that’s on it’s way, they also have a new Alternator prototype of a Ford GT which is reportedly going to be the new form for Mirage. Also there will be an orange Jeep redeco called Rollbar, and a Subaru repaint, black with gold flames, for Ricochet. There will be 4 repaints and 6 new cars for 2006 including the biggest one yet. The Dodge Ram SRT-10 pick-up truck which is bigger than the Mustang but will be the some price. And who is this one I hear you ask? Only the man himself-Optimus Prime! Check out the pictures at transformers.com and see what you think. Finally, more good news for all Beast Wars fans, as the tenth anniversary line will be released in January with the figures repainted to match their series counterparts more. Plus many will have an extra part to build the Transmutate character from Season 2. And two new figures for Optimus Primal and Megatron. They will retain their original forms (gorilla and T-rex) but will have more detail and a new chip feature. Head over to T-formers.com for all the updates!!

The final Botcon Exclusive figures, Chromia and Dirge have been revealed. As speculated, Chromia is an Arcee repaint while Dirge is the same mould as Buzzclaw. See the figures plus the boxart here and then head over to our forums to let us know what you think.

This has been rumoured for ages, but it looks like this could be true after all. Both DigitalToys and BigBadToyStore have a preorder page for a reissue Galvatron from Takara, due to arrive around Christmas. Galvatron was also mentioned at The Tokyo Toy Show 2005 recently.

Update fantofan have revealed that this is no ordinary reissue. He we be repainted to match the cartoon colours, have a newly remoulded face, diecast Matrix attached to a chain (just like the movie) and 7 new sounds.

TFW2005 have received a gallery of some of the new Binaltech toys from the Tokyo Toy Show 2005. They reveal shots of the Asterik packaging and Sunstreaker.

Tformers.com has just put up some photos from SDCC. Not only are there some rather impressive looking Justice League figures, they also show some of the new Cybertron and Alternators figures down the line, including the rather dubious Swerve Corvette and the new Toyota Scion otherwise known as the Autobot’s resident daydreamer, Skids.(And he looks damn impressive too!) Skids is slated for a December release so I guess that the Binaltech version will be out around January time.
