Following on from the Clear Ramjet auction which ended this morning, for over $550, eToysHunter / HeroToysMaker has now posted a new auction for a Clear Dirge Lunchtime Special.

This follows up the known Starscream, Thundercracker, Sunstorm and Ramjet toys.

Thanks to Linthart from Ozformers for posting several images of the upcoming Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Leader Class Jetfire toy.

Marcelo Matere has updated his Deviant Art page with a high resolution image of the concept and completed art of Transformers Animated Arcee's packaging picture.

The image was previously shown on Hasbro's Transformers Animated website.

Due to a bug in our automated thumbnail script our 700+ image captures from last weekends Transformers Animated Season 3 marathon ended up being uploaded but not actually accessible.  We do apologise for the delay in picking up on this and we have now fixed the bug and the images can be viewed on the review page.

Thanks to Snakas for linking to the Hobby Stock blog where new images of upcoming Transformers Henkei figures have been posted.

The new images include some really nice Henkei Smokescreen and Red Alert pictures, as well as Dinobot, the Minbots, HotShot and Masterpiece Grimlock.

Just a day after I posted on our very own message board with a possible answer for the fate of Blurr from Transformers Animated, Derrick Wyatt posts an update on his blog basically confirming my idea.

I won't post what it is, or what happened to Blurr - incase you're not seen or read about it.

hla2009tf2009 has listed an auction for a Clear Generation One Ramjet toy (actually a clear Reissue or Encore figure) which matches the Transformers Lunchtime Specials, or clear testshots, which were all the rage a few years ago.

The auction includes some great images and we believe this is the first time the Clear G1 Ramjet figure has appeared for auction and includes eToysHunter's watermarked images.

The account has no feedback, so this could be a new account for eToysHunter .. or it could be a fake auction, though we've not personally seen those pictures before.

EDIT:

We've also just noticed that GoldPrime is selling his boxed Collectors Edition Clear Soundwave figure on ebay as well.  If you want to see more images of the Clear Soundwave then take a look at the one we own.

Stan Bush has been in contact with Seibertron.com to let them know that he has released a "Tribute to the Troops" video on YouTube, that his band will be playing at JACON (Japanese Anime Convention) in Orlando on the Memorial Day weekend of May 22nd and May 23rd as well as Botcon 2009 (though he is waiting for final confirmation).  Stan also announced that Activision will be releasing a free download of "The Touch" for Guitar Hero and that apparently Hasbro will be releasing two Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys in May along with "The Touch".  Finally Stan sends word that he is going to be submitted a new version of The Touch to Paramount for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.  Whether it will get used time will tell.

SydenyY has posted a translation of the interview with TakaraTomy staff Takashi Kunihiro, Takio Ejima and Hisashi Yuki from the first volume of the 2009 Generation Book over on TFW2005.  The interview is a great read and though is mainly discusses the Henkei line it does cover a lot of other topics including just how much of the toy designs are done by TakaraTomy and not Hasbro (as they would like fans to believe)

For those wanting to see more of the Generation Book 2009, we recommend you pick up a copy as we have, though we will scan in some pages at a later date in the future when the magazine is not in general circulation

The waiting is over, the countdown has begun. The third one and only annual Dutch Transformers convention will open her door on Sunday June 14th 2009. More details will appear in the coming weeks.

Seibertron.com has a nice summary regarding the non-official Transformers Hearts of Steel Optimus Prime (HOS Commander) figure which is being created by MMC (Multi Media Creations).  The figure is based on the IDW story Hearts of Steel which was set in the past and features Optimus Prime transforming into a steam train.

The Arker followed the update of Henkei Slingshot with a large gallery of a new Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Autobot.  This new toy, which appears to be a Voyager class figure, is a transport plane and comes complete with a mini Optimus Prime figure.

The toy has similarities in the Transformation to Galaxy Force Dreadlock (Cybertron Jetfire).
