Leading 3rd Party non-official Transformers maker TFC Toys (AKA Transformers Club out of China) have revealed several new images of their upcoming figures including the next part of their Hercules (Devastator) combiner team. The figure they have shown off is called Neck Breaker and is their version of Bonecrusher. The group have also posted mock-up image of what Hercules will look like when he is fully combined. The image is a combination of grey-resin prototypes and a CGI outline of the yet-to-be-produced figures.
As well as showing of their Devastator toy, TFC have also posted new images of the DSLR camera team (Reflector), as
well as Junkion Blacksmith Headmasters and Infinity Warfare 2. The images have been mirrored below but were originally posted on their weibo page.

Following on from the recent announcement of the Japanese release of Beast Wars II, the box art has now been released, and can be viewed below. Beast Wars II was a Japanese exclusive series that was produced to fill the gap between Japanese dubs of Beast Wars and led on to the follow-up series Beast Wars Neo. There has been no official word on whether Beast Wars Neo will be released on DVD though, personally, we are expecting that announcement shortly after the release of Beast Wars II. It is also our prediction that the series will be subbed into English and released via Shout Factory in either late 2012 or during 2013. Again there is no official confirmation of this yet, it is purely a prediction by Transformers At The Moon.
If you like Beast Wars II or want to find out more then why not check out our Toy Gallery where we have photographed many of the figures or our Prototype section that contains some pages from the animations sheets and character designs. You'll be seeing more behind the scenes details from Beast Wars II over the coming months here at Transformers At The Moon as we own hundreds of pages of character models from the show as well as some original scripts.

There are 50 pages scanned from the Dengeki Hobby managzine and 13 from TV Magazine.
Remember to check out the hundreds of other Japanese magazine scans which we have in our Transformers In The Media section.
