Alfes 2010 has done some nice work translating the profile, backstory and bio for Transformers United Combat Master Prime (Power Core Combiners)
The battle between Autobot and Decepticon for the Power Core Drones was one that would determine the course of a new generation. Two Transformers crouched in the snow, both precariously low on energy. Around them were scattered four drones. Then, laughter rang out beside them.
“You should know that victory all comes down to strategy… Unite!”
As another Transformer, Combatmaster, calmly appeared on the battlefield, the four drones obeyed his will and merged together with him.
“Ung.. How could the Decepticons know about the project… They’ve got their own Master Class?”
Paying little attention to the gravely wounded Choppermaster, the cool-headed strategist Combatmaster lifted his injured comrade up off the ground.
“We’re called ‘Master Chaos.’ Of course, you’ll be the first and the last Autobot to ever know that name. Farewell.”
Speaking these words, Combatmaster fired off a barrage that struck the snowy slopes far above them. Moments later, the area resonated with a soft echo. The sound grew louder and louder, and soon a thundering avalanche swept toward them. Leaving the wounded Autobot to meet his fate, Combatmaster flew off into the distance.
Inside the secret Decepticon underground base, Combatmaster saluted the visage that appeared on a wall monitor.
“Very soon, High Regent. All of the Power Core Drones will be under our control.”
The figure he addressed showed not even a hint of emotion in response, with a face as expressionless as a mask.
“Use the combiner created from your data as a diversion… While the Autobots are occupied, we shall seize victory. We are the rightful masters of the next generation.”

The images include some high resolution close up shots of the highly anticipated figure.
Many thanks go to Full Metal Hero for posting a confirmation images that some Toymaster stores are now stiocking Transformers Prime Wave 5 figures which include Kup, Rumble and Shadow Strike Bumblebee.
So far just Kup and Bumblebee have been spotted.
The only down side is that not everywhere has a toymaster, and if you live in an area like us, we never got past Wave 2.
Transformers Masterpiece 15 will be a repaint of Convoy. Who will it be? White as Ultra Magnus, Black as Scourge / Black Convoy / Nemesis Convoy, Purple as Shattered Glass Convoy?
Stay tuned to find out more

Japanese store Yamashiroya in Ueno has a new display showing off the next release for the Masterpiece Transformers line, MP-12 Lambor aka Masterpiece Lambor.
As well as showing Sideswipe in both his modes the display has a healthy amount of artwork, concept drawings and other material to showcase the new Masterpiece. Particularly awesome are the concept sketches showing how Red Alert and Sideswipe's head has subtle differences, and the scale chart from the original cartoon which designer Hasui Yuki is using to determine the appropriate scale of Sideswipe in relation to MP-10 Convoy Version 2.0

Glen Moreshower has been quoted talking about nto only Transformers 4 but also Transformers 5. This follows on Michael Bays' comments about handing over the reigns after Transformers 4, using that to set up a new story arc.
Last weekend at the Con X KC in Kansas City, Missouri, actor Glenn Morshower, who has appeared in all three films so far, talked about the continuation of the series. According to Morshower, who provides an introduction to the brand new "Transformers 3D" ride at Universal Studions, Bay and producer Steven Spielberg are not only working on 'Transformers 4', but more than likely 'Transformers 5' as well.
"After I did the opening ceremonies for the ride, Steven Spielberg walked up to me and chatted and said 'You know we've got you set to do the fourth one and probably the fifth one on the heels of that," said on how he was approached about the new sequels. "So, I guess in December we are on our way to making 4 and 5."
