It isn't long now until Doctor Morocco (Tim Curry) reveals himself to the inhabitants of Griffin Rock. So to tease his arrival on this week's Transformers Rescue Bots two-parter, the Hub has released a new teaser:
Hasbro's Transformers Bot Shots product page has been updated with official images of the upcoming two 3-packs and the Ironhide launcher. The 3-packs consist of Skyquake, Jetfire, Powerglide, and Brawl, Shockwave, Ironhide.
Leefinddave of HK-TF has posted in-hand images of the Transformers Bot Shots Brawl, Shockwave and Ironhide 3-Pack. We got a glimpse of these figures at this year's Botcon. Brawl is repainted in blue, Shockwave is a new mold, and Ironhide is a Super Bot in translucent black.
Full Metal Hero reports that the first wave of Transformers Prime Cyberverse Vehicles are out in the UK, and has posted in-hand images. The wave consists of Energon Driller with Knock Out and Star Hammer with Wheeljack.

For fans of Transformers who aren't typical Transformers characters, there are two bits of information that you might be interested in. First, new images on eBay have revealed that the Marvel Transformers Mech Machines that were listed in the information we received from Toy Fair are actually redecoes of Marvel Crossovers figures. Namely, Thor/jet, Ironman/sports car, and Captain America/Humvee. It would appear that each have had their colors altered slightly to better match how the characters appear in the Avengers movie. For example, Thor's yellow has been replaced with black and Ironman's yellow is now gold.
Our second bit of Marvel Transformers news is that the Amazing Spider-Man Flip & Attack toys have been found at US retail! Our own Code of Walky found them in a local shop and has taken a photo as both proof as well as show off the somewhat obscured Transformers branding on the packaging. These are the Marvel characters that transform similarly to the G1 Jumpstarters, and Wave 1 of the Spider-Man toys include Battle Hauler, Spider Jet, Spider Racer, and Cyber Lizard.
News is starting to trickle out on the web that hard-to-find Transformers Prime First Edition Bulkhead and the previously unreleased Hasbro version of the First Edition Vehicon are shipping soon. Both figures are highly sought after by collectors with the Vehicon only being released by TakaraTomy previously.
TFCon has released a press release regarding their latest guest, check it out below!
We are honored to welcome Transformers creator Bob Budiansky to TFcon 2012 for his first ever Canadian appearance. Mr. Budiansky is responsible for much of the writing of the original Marvel Transformers comic, and conceived the names of most of the original Transformers including Megatron. He also wrote the vast majority of the descriptive tech spec biographies printed on the Transformers toy packages that Hasbro produced in the 1980s, giving each character it’s own unique personality.
Mr. Budiansky will be taking part in a Q&A panel and autograph session with the attendees of the Canadian Transformers Collectors Convention.
ModXToys have posted scans from the June issue of the Hyper Hobby Magazine released in Japan. In this issue, an article shows off a few upcoming Takara Tomy Transformers Prime toys, such as the final toys for Bulkhead and Arcee and EZ Collection Ironhide, Dreadwing, and Wheeljack with Starhammer.
