eBay seller psikyo1974cw has posted two auctions for new some Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys which were previously unseen.  The toys are recolours of the Transformers Movie Voyager Starscream figure in the colour schemes of Generation One Skywarp and Generation One Ramjet.  The auctions can been found here for Ramjet and here for Skywarp.  Only the jet mode has been shown thus far, so we can not say whether the toy uses the original Starscream head or the remoulded head on Movie Thundercracker.

FrenzyRumble has put another customised Masterpiece combiner toy on ebay, following up his auctions for Devastator and Menasor.  This time FrenzyRumble has created Masterpiece Defensor using the molds for Fire Convoy (RID Optimus Prime) as HotSpot, Armada Sideways as Groove, Classics Prowl as Streetwise), Cybertron Evac as Blades and Energon Towline as Firstaid (a bit like BotCon Ratchet).

The toy stands an impressive 18 inches, 47 cms, and is said to have over 50 points of articulation.  The auction includes a nice gallery which we'll look to mirror once the auction has ended, so you'll be able to appreciate the toy in the future as well.

Even if you're not interested in bidding it's well worth having a look at this auction even if it's just to get some ideas for yourself.

The latest edition of the Master Collector magazine, by Fun Publications, includes some interesting previously un-known Transformers Animated figures.  The   toys are mainly recolours, although the listing for Arcee and a Voyager Bumblebee are new.  

The toys listed are Arcee and Electrostatic Soundwave (both deluxes), along with Hydrodrive Bumblebee and Golfire Grimlock (both Voyagers).

Hasbro has mentioned that this new version of Soundwave won't come with Laserbeak but with a new "cassette" minion - most likely Buzzsaw, a re-coloured version of the Laserbeak guitar.

Higekuma Toy Toy Blog has been updated with images both in and out of packaging of Transformers Henkei Cheetas (Transformers Universe Cheetor) and Transformers Henkei Hound.

The Cheetas images also include comparison pictures to the American Transformers Universe Cheetor figure, highlighting the colouring differences.

TF08.net's Yizhi has posted a new item for sale in the form of Transformers Animated Sunstorm, the orange recoloured version of Transformers Animated Starscream.

TFW2005 also have more images of the toy which include comparison shots to Starscream and Skywarp.

Yizhi has posted the first images over at TF08.net showing the Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen Movie Legends Optimus Prime toy combined with the Jetfire toy.

Since this image contains spoilers regarding the movie you will need to scroll down to see the mirrored images

These images follow up from the auctions that Yizhi placed on ebay yesterday for the ROTF Optimus Prime and confirm previous rumours about the figures.  Quiet how the figure will compare to the full size versions remains to be seen

Yizhi has placed an auction for 10 loose Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Legends Optimus Prime toys for sale on ebay at $19.99.

The auctions only  include one image but show that the legends figure features a more accurate paint scheme than the original Transformers Movie legends Optimus Prime toy.

Transformers Animated.com, the internet's first Transformers Animated website, has been updated with three new galleries provided by members of the site. The new galleries include Transformers Animated Activators Starscream, Deluxe Sentinel Prime and Deluxe Swoop.

A scan has been posted online from the February issue of the Japanese hobby magazine Dengeki Hobby.  The two page scan contains new images of both Masterpiece Grimlock as well as Alternity Megatron.  The Grimlock images show off two of the gimmick, the mind transfer unit from "Grimlocks new brain" and that the Autobot symbol on his chest can be rotated for a black version.

The Alternity Megatron images are of the prototype of the figure and give the best indication of how the final toy will look.

Update:

The Allspark's Hydra Darkwings has translated some other images of the MP Grimlock toy to reveal that he will no longer come with the crown accessory that was seen in previous images of the Grimlock Prototype.

Digital Toys have started put up some new pre-orders for two new upcoming Transformers Henkei April 2009 releases in C-20 Red Alert and C-21 Smokescreen.  They have also received some images of the figures which can be seen below.
