TF08.net have published the first image of a Decepticon repaint of the Transformers Universe Classics Silverbolt figure.  The toy has been repainted into the colour scheme of Generation One Darkwing which, if the case, would mean that the classics partner for the 2007 Botcon exclusive toy will findally have been released.

The Hartmans have placed various auctions for sale on ebay for some handpainted unreleased BotCon figures.  These toys include Defensor (repainted version of Fire Convoy / RID Optimus Prime, Alpha Trion (recolour of BW Snarl), Rotorbolt (recoloured version of BM Obsidian) and Devcon (recoloured verson of BM Mirage).

Other auctions include a hand painted BotCon Windrazor as well as a hardcopy of Torca

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).
