Thanks to Seibertron.com member El Duque for letting us know that third party toymaker iGear Toys has updated their Facebook page with new pictures of the replacement head they're creating for the upcoming Hasbro Generations and Takara Tomy United Kup figure (aka Sergeant Kup). This head, which appears to be a quick swap with the production version, features a more comic-styled look to it including his signature "cygar". Some would also argue that it better captures the gruff nature and battle worn look of the elder Autobot warrior. No word yet on when this accessory will be released or whether it will be an exclusive on the iGear online store or available from our sponsors. When we know more about this product, we'll let you know!

Following in the footsteps of the Transformers Animatied-inspired, 2009 ROTF N.E.S.T. Lockdown, Hasbro is releasing Decepticon thug Lugnut as an all new Reveal the Shield, voyager class figure in 2011. As the release date gets closer, new images of this figure have surfaces on fansite HK-TF.com posted by Sumsum.com. This gallery give us an even closer look at all the detail on this new figure including its fantastic articulation and somewhat more realistic, drab army green paint scheme, a departure from his signature purple paint that Takara Tomy is using for their pending United release of the mold. The Reveal the Shield release from Hasbro is expected to be released at the end of this year and should starting showing up in stores in January or February. We've mirrored several of the images from original post. Click HERE to see the rest of the gallery on HK-TF.com.

The back-packaging of PerfectEffect's Ninja and Kingbat Two-Pack revealed PerfectEffect's next project, Reflector! The SFX Reflector set looks to be a spot-on representation of the G1 character. With new photos posted on PerfectEffect's blog, we've got a look at the middle component of Reflector, Viewfinder. Viewfinder is a tad taller than their Shadow Warrior, looks very articulate, and like their other figures, can dual wield weapons. We also get a look at some of the weapons that come with the SFX set. Check out the prototype images below!

Targetmasters in the 21st century? After the release of Universe Cyclonus with Nightstick, some may have been hoping for more Targetmasters to be released. A couple years later, we're getting more thanks to Takara, however you'll have to get out of your way to obtain Fracas, Haywire and Recoil. Thanks to blogger Alfes 2010, we've got in-package images of United Haywire and Fracas, as well as images of Haywire held by Generations Blurr. Fracas is held by a BotCon Sweep. These Targetmasters are extremely limited and rare, so if you have yet to get out of your way to obtain them, then good luck! Haywire is a repaint of PCC Caliburst, while Fracas is a repaint of PCC Chainclaw. Check out the images below!

In the mood for Dark Energon? Have a thirst to annihilate your own planet? Then you'd make great friends with Megatron from the War For Cybertron video game. The figure's been redone by Takara into their United toy line, featuring some darker paint job and a more 'evil' feel. Seibertron.com News Crew member Mach has notified us that Alfes 2010 has updated his blog with images of the figure, as well as comparisons to Hasbro's Cybertonian Megatron. Thanks to Alfes 2010, the first wave of United figures are well documented. You'll find Voyager Megatron here, and the remaining eight here. And of course, pictures of this Megatron below!

If you like big guns, you'll certainly like what Ironhide can wield in alternate and robot mode. The GMC Topkick might be a defunct real-life vehicle, but make sure you don't tell Ironhide.

Thanks to Seibertron.com member Ungie for letting us know about a new review posted to YouTube by video "personality" Emgo316 featuring Corbot V's CV-001 War Axe. This axe accessory is the first product released by rookie, third party toymaker Corbot V and is intended to complete the video game look for your Generations War for Cybertron Optimus Prime or Optimus Prime Cybertron Mode from the United line. Emgo's review gives us a good, first look at the axe including what appears to be its very sturdy construction, nice detailing, and the translucent axe blades. The Corbot V War Axe accessory is available now from most of our great sponsors.

Yes, you read right! The Insecticons haven't received much love in the form of a new figure for quite some time. But from the looks of it, it will be at the hands of a third party. It's still unclear as to who is headlining this project, and whether it will be mass produced like FansProject's work, limited to miniscule numbers like Mastercollectors' Nova Prime, or simply a project made for fun. Yet since it is based off Hearts of Steel work, it might just be Mastermind Creations. Enough jabbering though, behold Shrapnel, who also forms the front of the Battle Train!

Seibertron.com member El Duque has pointed us towards a thread on ACToys which gives us a brilliant look at upcoming products by TFClub. These images include our first look the Targetoids final look. It also gives us a new look at the Optimus Prime and Soundwave headmasters, a new looks at the SD Movie Optimus Prime called Primas and a new better look at the Not-Constructicons Not-Hook and Not-Scavenger, including a clear shot at Not-Devastator's head! We now also know the name these will be sold under "Project: Deva".
We have mirrored the images to see them in the original post just click here!
And just to clarify since this has been creating some confusion lately: TFClub is a Chinese unofficial Transformers fan site, like seibertron.com, just that they also produce unofficial 3rd party Transformers toys. They are not affiliated with Hasbro, TakaraTomy or the official Transformers Collectors Club.

So the day is finally there that the Seibertron.com galleries can show you the complete combiner set members of the official Transformers Collectors Club got for free: The Autobot combiner team that's made up of robots from different factions from different universes and toy lines, yea.
First off we have Heatwave for ya, Heatwave is a Decepticon from the Shattered Glass continuity. Heatwave being a Heroic Decepticon does heroic things, like chopping off heads of non-threatening hamster shaped fun park attractions with a sword his toy totally doesn't have, also he talks to non-sentient machines. He was the fifth and final free member exclusive needed to create a very special combiner, a combiner with a hilarious name and made with a lot of translucent plastic.
Now here we have the main event! the completed combiner, with the name of Nexus Maximus, if you go by the toys name, or Nexus Prime, if you go by the name given to him by fiction. Why does he have two different names? Well Funpub gave Hasbro two possible names for their combiner, Nexus Prime and Maximus Prime, Hasbro should chose which one was going to be taken. Well Hasbro is very protective when it gets to the word "Prime", and decided to not allow FunPub to use it and suggested to combine the non Prime parts of the names and call him Nexus Maximus. Now there are two things that are really silly about this, the first is the fact that Hasbro had already green-lit the story in which the combiner was revealed to be one of the Original 13 and therefore a Prime, and the other , ...well the name was already taken by a different type of toy - one you have to be at least 18 years old to buy it. But then Funpub just went ahead and called him Nexus Prime in the comics instead of using the awesome toys name.
So there you have it, Nexus Prime is finally complete, and if you want a collection of the Original 13 Transformers, well you need this guy and you'll have to dig deep as after-market Prices for all five of these guys are, well pretty hefty.
And if you want to check out the complete team, just click the following names to get to their galleries: Landquake Breakaway Skyfall Topspin

Stay tuned for more updates in 2011, as we get closer to release.
Seibertron.com - The Ultimate Transformers Resource!
The upgrade, or "project" which is how Fansproject refers to them, that made Fansproject famous (it wasn't their first) was the TFX Parallax 01 City Commander, or as we all like to call it: The Classics Ultra Magnus upgrade armour. A set that just seemed so perfect with the sculpting, the detailing, the engineering, the design, the quality, the packaging, and the functionality. Fansproject showed us that fan-made custom toys can have near Hasbro-like quality. However, just like with mass produced releases by Hasbro or Takara, City Commander did have a few problems, problems Fansproject learned from and improved for it's next releases: The Shadow Commander, Powered Commander, D.I.A. Clone Commander (you see what they did there?), and the 2009 re-release of City Commander. And we at Seibertron.com are proud to present to you the Seibertron.com galleries of the Shadow Commander and the D.I.A. Clone Commander!
To get to the galleries, just click the images below!
First off we have the Shadow Commander, an upgrade so evil, so incredibly evil, that not only is it black and goes perfectly with SDCC Exclusive Universe (2008) Nemesis Prime, but it also has a pink sword – that's how evil it is. The Shadow Commander came with everything the original City Commander came with, a new Nemesis Prime-like face, the aforementioned pink sword, and an improved structure all packed together in a far superior plastic quality than that of City Commander -oh and it was even more limited than the City Commander. For a long time this set was the cheapest and easiest to get variation of the mold, lasting for almost a year before the last one was sold, just to put this into perspective City Commander sold out within a month after it's release, it is now the most expensive and hardest to find version of the mold.
Now here we have the D.I.A. Clone Commander, this is one of two releases that are based on Diaclone Powered Convoy (get it? D.I.A. Clone = Diaclone, clever Fansproject), the toy we now know as G1 Ultra Magnus. One, the rarer and more desirable version was a limited to 500 pieces exclusive for the Canadian fan convention TFCon Toronto and was made to fit Classics Optimus Prime. Then there is the D.I.A. Clone Commander, a less rare variation, based on the Chromed Powered Commander variation made to fit Henkei Convoy/Optimus Prime. This version lacks some of the extras that came with the TFCon version but does feature chromed parts, it is still available at some stores. This did cause some controversy due to the sets being so similar, while one was an exclusive and the other was a general release, well as general as a limited-run fan made toy can be.
