Windcharger is unique among the Autobots on The Ark thanks to his magnetic powers!  Check out my review and gallery of Studio Series 86 Windcharger.

Takara Tomy has officially announced a new Transformers sub-line called "Overgear" in a dramatic way: a new animated video!  The short video features Ironhide getting away with classified information before the Decepticon Blackout intercepts him!  In an interesting twist, Ironhide is not the live action version or the G1 version.  Instead, this appears to be a new incarnation of the Energon version of the character!  This is partly revealed in the video as he communicates with "Jones" (aka Kicker Jones) and his head design, which calls ba

Combaticon Brawl is loud, brash and obnoxious with a horrible temper.  Fortunately for the Decepticons, this makes him a very effective warrior!  Check out my review and gallery of Age of the Primes Brawl.

Yesterday Hasbro released a pile of preorders for upcoming Age of the Primes figures!  Check out the official product info and images below along with links to BigBadToyStore and Entertainment Earth.  Using the links below will help support Ben's World of Transformers!

Artist Daniel Egan has posted several pieces of official Transformers artwork.  These designs represent characters like Arcee and Grimlock in their "Evergreen" designs which are meant to be used on anything from toys to licensed products.  In the case of at least two pieces (Mirage's robot mode and Shockwave's alt mode) they have been used on Authentics packaging!  Check out these beautiful pieces of art mirrored from Egan's Artstation page.

Thanks to the folks over at TFW2005, fans have their first look at (what appear to be) stock photos of Liege Maximo and Nexus Prime from Age of the Primes!  Liege Maximo appears to be a take on the character's appearance in the Generation 2 comic book.  Meanwhile Nexus appears to take some inspiration from both the Transformers Collector's Club version of the character and the design from Transformers One.   Take these images with a grain of salt until we get an official notification.

UK Retailer In Demand Toys has posted official stock photography of the upcoming "One Shall Fall" Megatron figure.  This figure is a redeco and retool of the Studio Series 86 Megatron featuring battle damage on the chest and head and it includes the pistol Megatron used to blast Optimus Prime in The Transformers: The Movie.  This will go along with the "One Shall Stand" battle damaged Optimus Prime.  Given the look of the packaging, this will likely be part of Target's "More than Meets the Eye" exclusives in the United St
