It is Cobra from Headrobots in prototype colors but in a special convention packaging, with a numbered certificate and a background-story for the character.

Here's a photo of the package-card:   (The photos of the figure will follow soon)

Chinese Transformers testshot seller Yihzi has listed an auction featuring Transformers Collectors Club Exclusive Punch/Counterpunchtoy on Chinese auction website Taobao.

The image shows several of the figures, all of which will probably be for sake.

TFCC Punch/Counterpunch has sold out from the official store, yet once again the chinese "testshto sellers" have been able to get several of them to sell.

­Ameblo, a Japanese website, has posted a full gallery of the Japanese Transformers Animated Blackarachnia toy.

The figure looks very close to the Western release of the same figure.

Chinese Transformers site TFClub has pointed out two TaoBao auctions for upcoming Transformers Revenge of the Fallen ­Ratchet and ­Backfire.

Both toys are repaints of previous molds.

Thanks to Peaugh for posting a video review of the Transformers Power Core Combiners Skyburst with the Aerialbots on a YouTube video.

In a question and answer session with The Intergalatic Highway­, voice actor David Kaye announced that he was turned down for several roles in the upcoming "Transformers: Prime" CGI series that will air on  the Hasbro / Discovery channel called The Hub later this year (within the US).

Q: Has there ever been a role you didn’t get that you were really disappointed about?

A: Ya funny enough. ANYTHING in the new Transformer series. But hey I’ve had a great long run and it’s a new deal for the creators of the new show and it’s a clean slate but I have to admit I was sad to see it go. That’s show business folks There’ve been a couple of animated features too, also Star Wars and even the new Transformer films.

Our thanks go to S250 who has posted some images of the upcoming Transformers War For Cybertron Optimus Prime figure.  You­ can view the mirrored images below.

­We have now created a full gallery of images, thanks to Yokubarion, from the 2010 International Anime Fair

The fair saw the ­Transformers Animated toys displayed as well as Sega's Transformers Arcade game.

The Tokyo International Anime Fair is currently on in Japan with a Takara Tomy showing off the Transformers Animated line.  Sega's Transformers Animated arcade game "The Chase" is also being shown off and includes a card slot reader where the profile cards that come with the toys can be swiped. 

We will be uploading a full image gallery from the event in a couple of hours, but for now you can enjoy some other images by visiting Hobbystock Blog.

With the 4th Transformers Cyber Missions episode set to be published on Hasbro’s US site in April, US chain Walmart have posted episodes 5 and 6 on their own Canadian website here.  This is because YTV in Canada are already hosting the 4th episode.  YTV's site is IP restricted, so if you are outside of Canada you will need to use a proxy to view the episode, or wait for someone to rip it and upload it to YouTube.
