IDW announced this week that they will be launching two new Transformers series, Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye and Transformers: Robots in Disguise, which are a direct continuation of IDW’s Chaos event and spring out of the Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime special they released on Wednesday. The new series both launch in January 2012.
I was worried these clips would stop coming after the initial launch of the line this summer, but I’m delighted to say a new holiday themeed KREO stop motion clip has been released. Watch it above and let us know what you think of these adorable clips and the KREO construction brand in the comments.
It looks like one of the Transformers designers from TakaraTomy dropped a bombshell on twitter. While showing some images of the new MP10 Optimus Prime figure, Shogo Hasui also posted a picture of a rough Masterpiece Ultra Magnus. The image shown is a very rough concept of slapping armor onto the latest version of the Masterpiece Optimus Prime mold. Obviously, this is very rough, but it sure looks like it has potential.
We’ve talked about KREO before on this site, but now that the KREO kits have hit toy shelves, the marketing push has hit full steam. Here, we have a fantastic example of stop-motion animation using KREO kits and Kreon figures. Love these types of shorts.
Transformers Vault went on sale today. Don’t know what that is? Well, its a book that Hasbro has been teasing us about for almost a year now. With some exclusive access to some Hasbro resources that have not yet seen the light of day, the book is sure to be a must-find for Transformers fans. Don’t believe me? Check out the video above and click the link to buy and help the site out at the same time!
It was stated that MP-01L would be the final edition and use of the Masterpiece Prime mold. Shortly afterward, a new Transformers Masterpiece Optimus Prime figure was announced in Japan, but it would not be the same mold. As it turns out, some pictures have surfaced and it looks like this edition (MP-10) will be in-scale with the all of the rest of the Masterpiece line addressing the most common complaint and sole shortcoming of the previous mold. Not only that, but the figure will come with trailer, Roller, Energon Axe, transforming gun and an in-scale driver in the form of Spike Witwicky.

“You may lose your faith in us, but never in yourselves. From here, the fight will be your own..”
Transformers: Dark Of The Moon fires its latest salvo at the fanbase and mainstream audiences that lost faith in the series with Revenge Of the Fallen. Director Michael Bay will employ Shockwave to destroy Earth if he has to, but he will win those fans back.
What say you, Powet readers? Will you be there for the July 1 release or will you wait for the reviews? Will you see it in theaters, hold off for DVD, or skip it all together?
