Maketoys has posted a slew of new photos for their MT-05LTE Gento (pronounced "Gen Two," no doubt) and its variations. Patterned closely after Reveal The Shield Laser Optimus Prime, Gento serves as a centerpiece for the updated Battle Tanker set, now known as Battle Sentinel. It is or will be also available in pretty much every variation FunPub ever did of the RTS Prime mold: Scourge (MT-04 The Nemesis), Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus (MT-02B Interspace Dagger Army Commando), and SG Optimus Prime (MT-02P Battle Sentinel SP SG).

After giving Apple devices an extended headstart for most of October, Angry Birds Transformers is now available through the Google Play store. A run-and-shoot game with Transformerized Angry Birds characters, it's gotten good marks from many players- including Radio Free Cybertron's own Rob Springer, who liked it enough to go nab some of the Telepods toys to unlock new Autobirds and Deceptihogs.

In case you had any doubts as to why Hasbro chose to try and make their own kids' network in the first place, TV Insider reports that we finally have a premiere date and regular timeslot for Robots In Disguise: the show will premiere Saturday, March 14th at 6AM, a month or so after the rest of the world gets it, and the regular timeslot will begin the following Saturday, March 21st at 6:30AM, before you get up. This is the extent of our opinion of Cartoon Network we can share on a SFW website, but suffice to say it's in line with their normal behavior ("bad") towards properties they don't own outright.

The latest episode of the QTransformers Animation is up! Titled "Mystery of Mystery of Convoy," it guest-stars the player characters from the original Famicom game, Ultra Magnus and Rodimus Prime!

From the weibo page of foklautoy, we've got a set of good out of package shots of the Battalion level Cyber Series Megatron figure. The line of large, simple figures often borrowing engineering from Legends and Cyberverse designs has so far only turned up at retail in some Asian and South American locations, which is a shame since they're generally pretty cool looking, a point well evidenced by Megatron here.

The episode title translated pretty cleanly this time! ...though it's possible the better translation might've been Adults-Only. This week's QTransformers stars Decepticons Soundwave, Starscream, Shockwave, and of course Megatron, as they discuss Kiss Players. Luckily, the episode seems largely safe for work.
