There´s a picture making its way around the internet of what´s supposed to be the box for a reissue of the G1 Fortress Maximus. I´m going to be unusually blunt here. The thing´s a fake. Hasbro isn´t putting out Fort Max in any form but the Heroes of Cybertron PVC. If this one turns out to be true, I´ll eat my hat!

Has a prototype picture of an ALPHA Q (QUINTESSON) figure surfaced or is it a fan-made custom figure? Check out the pictures for yourself at CosmicRust.com: Picture 1 and Picture 2. If this figure is indeed the real deal, it will mark the first time that one of the Quintessons have made it to the official toyline and the second time that a non-Transformers figure has made it to the official toy line (the first being the human Kicker from Energon).

In other news, rumors are running rampant that the Shockwave figure featured on an upcoming issue of TOYFARE will NOT be called Shockwave. Sadly, the rumors claim that the logical Decepticon will be called "Shockblast." Find out what information the phone calls to Hasbro are revealing here.

If this rumor is true, only one thought comes to mind: "Hypothesis: This is illogical."

Recently posted at CosmicRust.com is an email from a TF fan named Bodycount claiming the figure as his own personal kitbash: "That Alpha Q you posted is not a prototype..its actually a kitbash. my kitbash. Skunkobot decided to play a cruel joke on everyone [and] he blew it out of porportion and I apologize for any trouble ..."

Oh well ... one can hope! Incredible work Bodycount!

In one of the most recent cover of Toy fare, in their 80´s toys tribute, we
can see an Unknown Transformers wearing the Decepticon logo, with a head very similar to the old Classic Shockwave from Generation One. No name for this guy was given yet, but we can think of Shockwave name, you´ll see why.

Note #1 from Seibertron: For those of you who are doubting this would be Shockwave because Tidal Wave is called Shockwave in Japan, remember that the original G1 Shockwave´s Japanese name was Laserwave.

Note #2 from Seibertron: Per the request of one of ToyFare´s editors, we have removed the image of this cover. When images are able to be published again of this figure, we will post them here for all to see!

Just when you thought it was safe to say you´d completed your Armada/Micron Legend collection, this surfaces! The figure in question has been making its rounds among some of the more hardcore collectors for awhile now. Is this another of the Factory Made Fakes that were so popular last year? Could it be a legit Lucky Draw item to be handed out shortly? Does the world really need another STD Convoy repaint? These questions and many more will be answered in the near future, so keep ´em glued to this page!
