Thanks to a post on the Transformers Collectors Europe Facebook Group we have confirmation that Hasbro Europe could not meet the demand required to stock Wave 2 of the Combiner Wars in domestic stores though Wave 3 was in high enough demand to warrant it's release.  This means that if you are after the toy you will need to look online at retailer such as In-Demand Toys, Kapow, All The Cool Stuff and Masterforce.

TFW2005.com report of sightings of the Wave 3 Combiner Wars First Aid, Streetwise, Rook, and Blades in a Toyland store in Scarborough. It is believed that these aere regular Hasbro UK offerings as the figures do not come with the comics like within the US. It means that, this far, Wave 2 (the Stunticons) have been skipped within the UK though rumours suggest that those figures will be Toys R Us exclusives and are set with a June / July release date.

Thanks to the Cybertron Philippines the world has it's first look at the upcoming Transformers Generation One Trypticon Reissue in packaging. The figure features new box art and comes complete with all of his accessories. Do not forget to check out our gallery of the original toy here to help remind you what he looks like

TFW2005.com board members are reporting sighting Transformers: Robots in Disguise Warrior Class wave 3 figures Jazz and Sideswipe for sale in Target stores in Maryland and California.  There is no word yet on when a likely UK release will be, though we expect it to happen in the summer.

The first figure from the latest batch of Transformers Subscription Service collection is now arriving at the door of US residents.  The figure is Carzap a homage to the cancelled Takara G2 "Blocktown" figure.  The original toy was due to come with Lego and so the homage comes instead with a mini Kreo set including G.B. Blackrock. Carzap himself uses the Generations Thrilling 30 Bumblebee mold.

Deadline reports that the writers for the upcoming spin-off Transformers live action movies have now been hired and include Robert Kirkman (Walking Dead), Art Marcum (Iron Man), Art Marcum(Iron Man), Matt Holloway (Iron Man), Zak Penn (Pacific Rim 2) and Jeff Pinkner (Amazing Spider-Man 2).

The next round of Japanese Hobby Magazine are going on sale which has lead to some images being posted on Twitter from the latest issues of Figure King, Hyper Hobby etc.  The images include the first look at Unite Warriors Groove where Groove is a new mold created for the Japanese release of Defensor.  Other images include Adventures Powerglide, Cosmos, Drift, and an Autobot police car repaint of Steeljaw.  There is also images of the Takara Amarda Megatron along with the Black Convoy redeco from the Reveal the Shield Laser Optimus Prime with both figures being made available at the Takara Tomy booth during the 2015 International Tokyo Toy Show on June 20th and 21st.

Thanks to an auction on Taobao a Botcon troop builder set of repaints of the Transformers Generations Waspinator figure appear to be on the way.  The recolours include Buzzsaw and Halloween Horrocon Waspinator as well as two others.  You can view a copy of the image below.
