Thanks to Oddsey for posting an image showing the robot mode of the recently seen black and green Transformers Revenge of the Fallen motorbike toy called Knock Out in our Transformers News Discussions area.

The image originated from an ebay auction for the figure.

Thanks to Japanese Transformers fan S250 the first images of an unpainted prototype of a previously unknown Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toy have now been revealed. The new figure / character is a boat and could well represent Tidal Wave from the second Transformers film (obviously this is an unconfirmed name).

Ebay seller Heerotoysmaker has placed two new auctions for some of his own Worlds Smallest Transformers. In the past he has sold a variety of clear, chromed, and custom coloured World's Smallest Transformers as well as various full size testshots and samples. The auctions this time are for Tracks and the red repaint Roadrage. You can view some, but not all, of the images below.

Taobao seller Easynet has posted an auction for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Detour which is the red car which has recently been seen.  The auction can be viewed here and the images can be viewed below.  He has also posted an auction for a Revenge of the Fallen motorbike testshot which can be viewed here.  yizhi521, of TF08.net has also posted a photo of the painted version online as well.

An auction has appeared on Taobao for a figure of the Scrapper character that appeared in the Transformers video game from Activision.  Its not known at this time whether the figure is planned for a release as part of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, or whether it will be a Transformers Universe release.  You can view the auction here and the images below.

Japanese Online retail store  AmiAmi have published some new images of the upcoming Transformers Masterpiece MP-08 Grimlock which you can view by clicking the link or by using the thumbnails below.

Derrick Wyatt has sent TF Wiki writer Walky an official image of Transformers Animated Season 3 character Hot Shot.  This is the second image of Hotshot to be published, the first being in the Transformers Collectors Club Magazine but is the first image availalbe to the entire world.  You can view the image here.

According to the latest issue of the Transformers Club Magazine, three of the Botcon exclusive figures for the 2009 convention will have remolded heads.

Rumours are ripe regarding which toys will be used for the convention, which takes place in the 25th Anniversary year, and around the time of the released of the second live action Transformers film.

TF08 has been at it again with more testshots of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys.  Following on from Soundwave is Deadend (a deluxe figure) as well as an unknown truck.

Pascal (who often buys figures from TF08, has shared his pictures and a review of DeadEnd at Cybertron.ca).

Transformers guru Simon Furman has updated his blog with a new post regarding the out-tomorrow Maximum Dinobots issue one comic from IDW.  The post contains the cover art for the issue (which you can find on his blog), but you can read the text below. 

"Out this week, Wednesday December 10th in the US, 11th in the UK, is the first issue (of five) of Maximum Dinobots, the no-holds barred return of Grimlock, Sludge, Slag, Snarl and Swoop. Plus Scorponok, Sunstreaker, Hot Rod, Headmasters and more! And though issue #1 picks up on story strands laid in various Spotlights and Escalation/Devastation, this one kicks off from the ground level, bringing the five Dinobots—last seen together way back in Spotlight Shockwave—back together again in a raging battle-filled storyline that pulls no punches. Featuring Nick Roche’s amazing art and Josh Burcham’s scintillating colours, Maximum Dinobots is just a must-have. We confidently predict a roaring success! Click on the thumbnail below for a look at #1’s cover and check out the IDW website here for more news on upcoming Transformers comics releases."
