Following on from the Kabor update to TheVisionaries.net we are pleased to bring you are 2nd gallery of Season 2 2-up hardcopy weapons, this time belonging to the Spectral Knight, Lazorlash
Once again we use Witterquick as an example of the size of the 2-up.
We do not have the 2-up of the axe for Lazorlash but the shield is an interesting one in itself. Not only is it held in an unusual manner, we believe that the "broken piece" is part of a gun which he can hold enabling him to attach the shield and hold it in a more traditional fashion.
Sadly we do not have all of that piece (if you do, please let us know), but if you look at the Toy Fair image you will be able to work out how it would have worked.
You can view the gallery at http://www.thevisionaries.net/toys/spectral-knights/lazorlash/32
Enjoy!

We have added a new image gallery into the Books section of the resources area of the website containing 40 images from the Transformers: Generations 2011 Vol 1book that was released by Million Publishing.
The book covers figures from the Transformers: Revenge, Transformers: DarkSide Moon, Transformers Animated and Transformers United as well as some new images of the Generation One Rodimus Prime hardcopy that was shown of a few months ago within the page of Hyper Hobby magazine. The book also includes two interviews, one with TakaraTomy the other with Kabaya, a small section on the Japanese toy leaflets, the final part of the Unite for the Universe comic and a look at the character designs for Transformers Animated.
The book is still for sale and we advise anyone who is interested to pick up a copy from a re-seller or direct from Amazon Japan.

If you are within the UK or Europe and you look out of your window right now you will probably notice that its bright and sunny outside. As such that can only mean one thing .... the continuation of our Spring / Summer Special of updates.
Following on from our last set of updates, the paint-samples of two of the Brainmasters, it is with great pleasure that I bring to you today another piece of European history, a FEP (Final Engineering Pilot) of Transformers Generation One Classics Sandstorm. The image gallery contains comparisons with both the original release of the figure as well as the final gold box "classics" version (which had the black plastic feet that were painted and different colour stickers). The early testshot Sandstorm is made from a milky white plastic and was purchased from the former head of Hasbro Europe.
Enjoy!

In a follow-up to the news we bought you yesterday afternoon regarding Hyper Hobby Feb 2011 containing an article and images of a newly unearthed Generation One Prototype of Rodimus Convoy that TakaraTomy recently found in a warehouse, we can now bring you some low resolution images thanks to Masabon from TFW2005.com. The figure is actually a hardcopy and is significantly taller than the released version. According to the text this was the original Rodimus toy that was designed by Takara but the toy was nixed by Hasbro in favour of a smaller, cheaper version that was eventually released.
We will keep our eyes out for higher resolution scans, and if we find them we will let you know.

TF08.net member yizhi521 has posted two small images of what could be the first glimpse of a Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen figure. You can view the images below.
The images are very small, making them hard to see, but they could be of the corvette character
