Sad news for Device Label fans, Broadblast (formerly Broadblast aka Blaster) has once again been delayed, now until sometime in the spring or summer of 2010. No specific reason was given for the delay, but this has led to some stores cancelling all of their pre-orders due to the continual delay. Credit to Autobas Aichi.

Big news for fellow collectors of the "Lucky Draw Transformers" as the December issue of TV Magazine is now out in Japan and it is normally this end of year issue that features the mass prize competition for the gold chrome figures from various toy lines. Well mark this year down as TV Magazine do not appear to do holding such a draw this time. Yes the issue is out and there is no sign of the photo-shopped gold toys on the background of the cover that normally happens. So does this mean that we have seen the end of these highly limited and prized toys? Perhaps. Its possible that they have delayed the draw until the January issue that is out next month. We'll have to all wait and see on that, though it could be that the competition has been dropped for various reasons from fakes being made, to some draws being rigged so that certain figures are not actually draw at random, to the recession meaning that TV Magazine and/or the toy manufactures have decided that it is just too expensive to produce figures this year.
We will have more on this story as it unfolds, and as we say it could be that they have simple pushed the draw back to the Jan 2010 issue, as they seem to be releasing the issues earlier this year.

In their Investors Day webcast Hasbro announced their "Hunt for the Decepticon" initiative. Its unclear what exactly this will be, it could be a sub-theme for Universe or Revenge of the Fallen, an online game, online webisodes, a competition or something else. Its unlikely to be the name for the next series though as the only show they mentioned during the investors day was to do with My Little Pony.

HK-TF.com member tf-op has posted an image of a new upcoming toy that is best described as a Legends-esq Rumble figure. The toy's origin is unknown, and the one image does not show any copyright markings meaning that the figure could just as easily be a non-official release as an official figure. Either way, you can view the image below.

Transformers Robotmasters was a pretty short lived series in Japan, featuring only a few toys and even less cartoon and comic episodes, yet it made quite a big impact when first released. The toys featured mainly new molds, with a few recoloured toys fom Transfomers Generation Two and Transformers Beast Wars, and was the Japanese take on the Transformers Universe theme, where characters from different Transformers lines were bought together.
The line featured some of the best Transformers toy molds and some of the most popular characters, and also showed how the original Transformers Generation One toy molds could be updated with more articulation, but could still be extremley close to the originals.
To help celebrate this short lived Japanese exclusive line, we have uploaded 21 new Transformers Robot Masters toy galleriesas well as updated 3 existing galleries with new images.
This takes us to an unrivaled 2,178 Transformers Galleries

The Arker has posted a pair of in package images of the upcoming Hasbro release of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Legends Devastator.
The figures is the US releae of the Japanese EZ Collection Devastator toy, which is by far the best version of the Revenge of the Fallen combined that has so far been made. The figure includes all seven Constructicons which can transform into their individual robot, vehicle and combined form.
The figures packaging is a smaller version of the large Devastator toy, which is a nice touch.
