News Following on Devastator, it is safe to say that it's only a matter of time before all the great Transformers gestalts will get the 3P make-over. TFC Toys moves ahead to other combiners with a new teaser image just posted for their upcoming homage. The name, Project Uranus, is not very descriptive, but it don't take but a second to see this is NOT Superion. The image of the silhouetted figures revealed at Botcon has been updated with a blurry image of what we think is their version of Slingshot. We know what you are thinking. You are posing (or playing - we do not judge) your Transformers Prime Voyager Optimus Prime figure and you think, "man, I really want those battle blades he had in the show! Those were awesome!" Well, it seems Dr. Wu heard those cries all around the world, and has created a pair of show-accurate battle blades! Date and pricepoints are not yet available, but we will let you know when we do! Protoman is offering a video look at the TFSource BTSToys BTS-05 China Workaholics Exclusive Yin & Yang. The set is a redeco of the Tremor and Frenzy Minions set and is made to have these vibrant colors similar to the Generation 1 Constructicons. These guys can be thought to be as workers for the larger Decepticon beings. Yin & Yang are ready for release this month and are available for pre-order at TFSource. After a long silence, FansProject has returned to the custom scene with a reveal of their work: Warbot WB-002 Steel Core. The figure is the second entry in their line of the Warbot line that was kicked off with WB-001 Defender way back in March 2010. A teaser was posted on Facebook and a full illustration reveal of the figure was revealed on their FansProject Core website. The Core site does state that they are attempting to bring out some exclusives to the Core members. There is not a release date or price point, but until then, enjoy the images. Third party shop Mastermind Creations has been working on their next entry into their Knight Morpher series KM03 Cyclops (Not Hearts of Steel Shockwave) for quite some time now, and it appears to be ready for release this month. In a video posted on YouTube, the video shows a transformation sequence of the figure with a May 2012 date tacked on at the end. In previous comparison pictures, this figure is looking a behemoth, being a little larger than Masterpiece Grimlock. TFC Toys may possibly offer up a Shattered Glass version of their Hercules gestalt, if an image posted by the third party shop is any indication. An image of the Hercules breast plate in red and a blaster in blue was posted on the TFC Toys Sina Weibo page, without really much of an explanation. Comments posted on the image by others believe it is Shattered Glass, similar to the Transformers Collectors Club Shattered Glass line. Hercules is the third party homage to the Transformers Generation 1 Devastator, which has received quite a lot of praise since its release. View the image and let us know what you think in the comments. Third party custom shop ToyWorld has finalized their Hegemon (Not G1 Megatron) figure and is on target for a June 2012 shipping date, they announced. The company showed off the final figure that is capable of being held by a human. The product is pre-orderable at 3rdPartyStore for $99 USD. Grab a look at the images after the hop. TFC Toys has shown off their upcoming Iron Army figures, the Power Core Combiners third party limbs. Just like the Hasbro versions, these these limbs can be used on all figures, as it is showcased on Power Core Combiners figures Bombshock and Heavytread bodies. The figures were announced back in November 2011 and were showcased this past weekend at BotCon 2012. The figures are split up into Set A German Tiger-I Tank and U.S. P-51 Mustang plan; and Set B Japanese J7 Shinden plane and Russian T-34 tank, with TFC teasing that there will be others in the future. These sets are due for a late May release. Thanks to Maketoys who have released some new looks at their Mobile Crane and Dump Truck robot figures in the classic yellow color theme. Get a look at both of the figures after the jump to share your comments. ToyWorld, the third party company behind TW-01 Hegemon (not G1 Megatron), has unveiled their next custom for this year, TW-T01 (Not Rollbar). The unnamed custom appears to be just the first in a series, according to a teaser image posted by ToyWorld. The image shows Rollbar at the top and five other silhouette vehicles below, suggesting that the third party shop plans to release the remaining five characters in the Throttlebots group.

This figure pays homage to the Generation 1 Brawn character with an all new mold that takes this mini-bot into a new dimension.

If it wasn't enough that you shelled out a load of cash for the TFC Toys Hercules Gestalt figure to get the ultimate edition of a figure that Hasbro could never make from a third party. Now you might find yourself dipping into your wallet again for the Dr Wu DW-P04 Roaring Head Replacement. The new upgrade head replaces the less dramatic one with a screaming (roaring) face that was obviously inspired by the classic comic art of robots going into battle.

The image released online show a prototype figure with a very BB-like look and the unmistakeable horns that are the signature of the G1 character. The figure looks to be heavily detailed with a lot of torso, not much beef in the legs and big feet. He's also got a pile of weapons and accessories ala the NOT Ironhide / Ratchet kits.
