00:07:10 Machinima’s Transformers: Titans Return Episodes 5
00:21:40 Thanks to weibo user tf-factory, we have our first look at the highly-anticipated wave 2 deluxes from the new Power of the Primes line! The wave features quite the assortment with Snarl, Sludge, Blackwing, Moonracer, and Rippersnapper. Not only does this wave get collectors started on their Terrorcons and G1 fembots, but it will also complete the Dinobot limbs and Volcanicus with the nearing release of Grimlock! Dreadwind will also be united with his counterpart so fans can form the mighty Dreadwing!
In addition to these figures, we also have our first in-package look at Grimlock from the upcoming Authentics line, one that seems to be similar to the Cyber Battalion line.
00:30:46 We have our first “teaser” images of the box art of both new Voyager Megatron and Brawl molds. Most of the body have been blurred but we get an idea of the parts and design and a clear look at vehicle modes. As an extra bonus, we also have a look at the possible box art of Brawl.
And Blackout

00:40:11 Generation Toy brings us an impressive and detailed take on the last G1 Autobot Combiner we saw in season 2 of the original cartoon. We got renders and images of both the Combiner mode and all the individual Protectobots: Hot Spot, Streetwise, Blades, Groove and First Aid in both modes. We can be sure you will enjoy these highly detailed and stylized designs for this Autobot team.
00:46:52 Planet X have updated their Facebook page with a sizeable gallery of their upcoming project, Pluto! Finally in full color, Pluto is Planet X’s tackling of the beefy Fall of Cybertron Megatron design that was sadly overlooked in the game’s toy line. Featured from every angle, in a variety of poses, and in both modes, Pluto is shaping up to be a well-executed take on the game’s model.
00:50:44 Michael Bay has been posting images to Instagram, one of which seems to confirm that Paramount will be taking the Transformers cinematic franchise in a new direction.

Well 4.5 billion dollars later, 100s of millions of people saw the Transformers movies - I’d say it had great run. Any Studio would take this franchise series success. That said. Now it’s time to take this franchise in a totally new direction

NEWS
00:14:14 Machinima’s Transformers: Titans Return Episode 3 Available Online
00:28:49 Hasbro Toy Shop has updated their website with new stock images of the new Wave 1 Power of The Primes Prime Master figures. This assortment contains Cloudburst with Micronus Prime, Skullgrin with Leige Maximo and Metalhawk with Vector Prime.
00:34:42 The Takara Tomy Mall has updated their website with official images of the just announced Street Fighter II vs Transformers TakaraTomy Mall Exclusive sets. As mentioned previously, these figures are due in May and feature Ryu vs Bison (using the Titans Return Octone and Blitzwing molds respectively) and a second set featuring Chun Li vs Ken (Generations Arcee and Titans Return Hot Rod respectivley). There are a lot of great, clear images here including some amazing shots of the characters doing their special moves.
00:42:17 we’ve got some additional images of the imminently releasing Masterpiece MP-39 Sunstreaker. These images, taken from the Generations 2018 book, shows the vainest Autobot this side of Tracks in both of his modes, including multiple angles on his vehicle mode.
00:47:23 Masterpiece Dinobot New Images From Figure Oh Magazine #238, Via Loopaza Mega Store on Facebook we have high resolution scans of pages that bring us some new images of Masterpiece Dinobot.
The first scan shows the full colored Masterpiece figure in two great group shots next to Masterpiece Optimus Primal and Cheetor, and Generations/Legends Rattrap and Rhinox in both robot and beast mode. We can get a great idea of the size of Dinobot who proves to be the tallest and biggest Beast Wars Masterpiece to date.
The second scan gives us nice shot of the color, details and poses of the Maximal warrior in both modes. Gimmicks like the rotating eyes in dino mode are also shown next to the display base and one of most expected accessories of Dinobot: The famous Golden Disc.
00:51:54 Takara Tomy Transformers Legends LG-50 Sixshot, LG-51 Doublecross, LG-52 Misfire, & LG-53 Broadside
Japanese site 1999.co.jp has uploaded stock and package images of Takara Tomy Transformers Legends LG-50 Sixshot, LG-51 Doublecross, LG-52 Misfire, & LG-53 Broadside.
LG-50 Sixshot comes in a very impressive and big box which resembles the original G1 Sixshot package. LG-51 Doublecross, LG-52 Misfire, and LG-53 Broadside come in the regular window box used for previous Legends figures showing the Headmaster unit in one corner. The stock images let us see the difference in color and accessories of these releases including the Headmasters and Targetmasters partners compared to the Hasbro versions.

NEWS
00:08:17 Titans Return releases with episode 1 and 2, with starscream reborn, a nice voice over summing up Combiner Wars and Optimus Prime leaving again. Rodimus hands over the matrix and reverts back to hot rod and the old battle station called trypticon is rebuilt. So what are our thoughts?
Power of the Primes figures appearing at retail in the US this week.
[image]
00:44:25 It turns out that the completionists are going to HATE this line, because each figure has TWELVE variants of cards in their box, each one describing how a different Prime affects and powers up that figure.
00:51:50 Meanwhile, it does seem like the power of the primes actually refers to the impressive ability of the figures to remain upright with all this shit attached to them.
https://twitter.com/JM77/status/930218271403524096?s=09
00:53:12 We saw some images and hints at a new movie Collector's series where hasbro are re releasing fan favourite bots from the first five films with more collector based engineering and look. We now have a reveal via Facebook (taiwan TFCC) of a new Deluxe age of extinction stinger. Also visible in the image is the new leader class black out and voyager ratchet figures.
Maybe this is related? Details are emerging of a new Studio Series movie range for 2018.
00:56:08 We've seen blurry images but now Takara have released production shots of the new movie Masterpiece MPM-05. Barricade. It transforms in 40 steps, has diecast pieces and 30 points of articulation.
01:03:56 Takara Tomy has revealed colour figure shots of MP-41 Masterpiece Dinobot in all his glory. The $245 USD price tag appears to be true and online retail has put up pre orders of accordingly. So who's buying it?
Scale image:
01:11:55 It appears Takara might be about to make Brad faint with joy, as one of their designers have an interview for the Generations 2018 book we recently reported on, stating that their eventual goal for Masterpiece Beast Wars figures is Megatron.
Other news
01:16:35 We all love the animated figures and although it was discussed on Transformers Legends this week we thought we'd take a look at this older piece of news also.
Here we have A Plus Toys Animated Dirt Boss in Painted Prototype with Devastator Images
01:17:58 Joining the 3p Combiner fight Fans Toys has announced FT-30 Ethereaon (Masterpiece Scale Aerialbots/Superion) with prototype images of thier silver bolt figure.
Movie news
01:21:58 Finally in movie news, it appears the Bumblebee movie might be abandoning it's Generations name and just going out as Bumblebee The Movie
http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/11/12/bumblebee-movie-news-roundup-wrap-353441
After 70 days Principal photography on the bumblebee movie has wrapped. News for the film will probably be light until February where we might possibly get a look at the new toyline, but there's probably not going to be a super bowl trailer as universal have mission impossible 6 and cloverfield 3 to promote.

NEWS
00:12:21 The First Trailer for Machinima’s Titans Return is now online featuring Metroplex and trypticon going at each other. Prime, megatron and windblade are back along with a couple Combiners. Any positives?
Confidence level?
What would have to happen to make this a must-see?
00:20:38 Power Of the Primes in Packaging news
Wave 1 of power of the primes is getting boxed up ahead of thier 2018 release.
First up This week we have images of Voyager Grimlock.
00:26:11 We have also seen wave 1 Legends in package for the first time. Windcharger, slash and beachcomber will be hitting international stores shortly, and we should expect to see them by February.
What’s your feeling on Power of the Primes?
00:34:14 Takara Masterpiece News
Takara MP-41 Masterpiece Dinobot has hit retail pre orders this week upsetting fans with an expected 28,000 yen price tag which is about $245 USD. One local retailer has it up for $269 so Dinobot is looking to be the most expensive MP beastwars figure, and in the MP10 area price-wise. So it's now got Collectors wondering the figures scale, or accessory count that would make the figure more expensive than Megatron.
How much is too much for a Masterpiece figure?
00:39:38 Blind bagged toys fans are rejoicing this week at the news that Kid Robot, already known to Transformers fans for their vinyl figures, are bringing out a new series of blind-bagged figures based on IDW’s Transformers vs GI Joe comic series.
http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/11/03/transformers-vs-g-joe-collection-kidrobot-hasbro-353094
00:42:19 Paramount has been relying on Chinese investment from a company called HuaHua to finance a lot of their recent movies. That deal is now over, sources say, citing poor returns on investment for recent pictures including Transformers: The Last Knight.
http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/11/09/paramount-pictures-loses-huahua-media-film-financing-deal-353298
Other news
00:47:13 A new statue manufacturer has popped up in China called Titanium Alloy. Their first statue is a Fall of Cybertron Optimus Prime measuring 30 inches tall. Unsure if it's licences yet as there's no logos on it but we know hasbro usually allow statue makers to make their products.
00:53:42 Unique Toys has shown off its new Bruticus Combiner at SGC 2017. (Image 15 or 21)
This figure was to be Toyworld’s Bruticus but the designers jumped ship and took their designs with them, so now for unique toys to not have to pay for engineering and design the bots are approx $60 each.
More of a parts former since thighs aren't part of onslaughts transformation.
00:58:02 Also seen were magic Square g1 Legends figures. New company on the block and they are making g1 Legends class figures.(last image 60)

NEWS
00:15:43 Machinima Titans Return
The new Titans Return Machinima series is almost here - cower in fear, humans! If you didn’t really like their Combiner Wars series then we don’t think Machinima cares.
They’ve released a new poster.
And it turns out Combiner Wars (which we’ve been saying can’t be seen anywhere) has reappeared on Hasbro’s YouTube channel.
00:23:58 Power of the Primes
Two items this week on POTP with a look at Hasbro press images for Starscream coming up. Before we get into that though, we also saw news this week that preorders for the first wave are live and stock is expected to ship in December.

01:21:27 Chris - talk a bit about your collection and collecting habits
01:36:39 TCCA BUSINESS
Australian Transformers Weekly is produced by Transformers Collectors Club Australia.
TCCA is run by volunteers who donate their time and money to make the club better for everyone. Our goal is to connect Transformers fans around the country and we do it by engaging the collecting community.
This means attending and exhibiting at conventions and events around the country, and that costs money.
If you’re enjoying this podcast, we hope you’ll consider becoming a paid member of Transformers Collectors Club Australia.
Yearly memberships cost just 5 dollars and help support club activities at conventions big and small around the country, from Supanova and Oz Comic Con in capital cities to smaller local gatherings.
To join us as a paid member, go to transformerscca.com.
Christmas Donation Drive
- Annual tradition for the club, it’s like a Christmas bonanza!
- Prizes include Masterpiece Megatron, Shockwave and Sunstreaker, third party figures like War Dog Veteran edition, a TFcon exclusive Mirage, G1 character posters and a whole lot more!
- It’s a lucky draw. Tickets cost just $5 and you can buy as many tickets as you like.
- Like membership, your ticket purchase helps support the club. We use the money to pay for figures for other giveaways, attending conventions and supporting other club activities like birthday and christmas gatherings around the country.
- Go to transformerscca.com, or look at the pinned post in the Facebook discussion group for more information.
