TakaraTomy have updated the Alternity section of the Transformers website with a silhouette of a new figure and the words "Comming Soon", and no that's not a typo on our part, but is wrong on the TakaraTomy page.

Tesco have a 3 for 2 offer on all toys over the Easter weekend (ending Tuesday).  Animated Deluxe are back to £9.97 each but some stores are stocking Blurr, Swindle & Blazing Lockdown, all of which I picked up at Tesco Extra Cardiff earlier today.

Toys R Us have dropped Universe Deluxe to £7.69 (not sure how long for though) but at the Cardiff store they only had Wave 2 & 3 in stock.  They did also have Movie Nightwatch Prime (USA colours), Premium Series Megatron and Desert Brawl.  All £39.99 each and all in USA packaging.  Also spotted that the new Universe Ultra Darkwing & Countdown figures are in USA packaging (not UK multi language ones) so you get the full character profiles written on them.

Transformers Animated.com has been updated with screen grabs from the latest Transformers Animated cartoon episode, Predacon's Rising.

TFW2005.com member Africa has posted some new images of the upcoming WST Shockwave figure from JustItoys.  JustIToys, pronounced Just Love Toys, are the makers of the non-official World Smallest Dinorobots.  The new images show that the Shockwave figure will come with a new right hand for Bruticus (and all subsequent re-releases / recolours) that will enable that toy to hold their new WST figure in gun mode.  You can view the original thread by clicking the link at the start of this article, and the mirrored images below.

Botcon.com has been updated with the character profile image of Scourge.­ You can read a text version of the profile below.

"All who defy me shall lie at my feet; broken, crushed and defeated!"

Born from the wreckage of fallen Decepticons, Scourge is a merciless warrior without fear. He is often seen following the lead of Cyclonus, but internally he is constantly calculating new ways to maneuver the Decepticon Empire towards greatness through his service. While loyal to the Decepticon cause, there is no one he will not defy if he feels there is a better way to bring destruction upon the Autobots. Scourge is a tracker by nature, using his vast array of detection equipment to find his prey. Once found, he has an arsenal of weaponry at his disposal to destroy his targets including disintegration beams, acid rays and tractor beams. Scourge leads "The Sweeps", a tactical unit comprised of battlefield specialists who serve as extensions of his will. Scourge's only weekness is his arrogance.
