Back on July 17th, 2008, TFV opened its doors to our little group, and the idea that all views from the Transformers community are welcome. Today as we look back on the first 2 years and over 15,000 forums posts, as well as dozens of questions answered in the official Hasbro Q&A program, we also look to the future of Transformers and what our group can do with it. Thanks for the first 2 great years, and to many more to come! Post your thoughts in the anniversary thread.
Dengeki online has an image of the upcoming Movie Masterpiece MP-M01 Starscream. Amazon Japan also has an excellent image of the figure. This Japanese repaint of the US Leader-class Starscream’s expected release date for Starscream is October 2010.
It’s a reissue of Blaster, and a new Prowl Mighty Muggs figure! Available at San Diego Comic-Con starting July 21st, and HasbroToyShop.com after the show while supplies last, Hasbro’s 2 Transformers Comic-Con exclusives are sure to please (even if HTS booth lines are possibly the worst of the entire convention).

This week at Toys R Us stores, pretty much all Hasbro products are buy 1, get 1 half off, and not just of the same brand. So you could buy 1 Transformers figure and 1 Star Wars figure, and the discount still applies. This sale will continue until the 18th, according to in-store signage, and since TRU has been told by Hasbro to set aside the August street date on almost everything Transformers, they have a lot of new product right now. Good luck, and good hunting!
ComicBookResources.com has a preview of Ironhide #3, due out this week from IDW. Please note, shipment is due on Thursday of this week rather than Wednesday, due to the Independence Day holiday. Also, the preview pages do contain a major spoiler, so if you prefer to wait until you have the entire issue in hand, don’t read it!
He’s been stranded on a deserted Cybertron, but IRONHIDE is about to meet the only two other functioning AUTOBOTS on the planet. One is an old friend in dire need of help, and the other is a legendary character making his IDW debut. Mike Costa and Casey Coller reveal why exactly IRONHIDE—and his death—were so important to the future of Cybertron.
TRU has been getting new Transformers from the Hunt for the Decepticons movie sub-line as well as the new Generations figures and putting them on shelves. And a nice bonus, until July 3rd all Transformers figures are buy-one-get-one-50%-off, which applies both in-store as well as on www.ToysRUs.com (it’s 1 bogo per order there, but spend $49 or more and you get free shipping). Sightings are coming in from all over the country, so check your local TRUs now!
