Justitoys
has confirmed that they will be producing the Stock and Silencer
for
MP-05 Megatron. The parts will connect to Megatron in both robot and gun mode and it will be interesting to see if they connect to form Megatron's canon.
There are already rumours that Takara will release a second Masterpiece Megatron toy, ala Masterpiece Convoy, with official scope and silencer, although these are unconfirmed.
Thanks to
Seibertron for the news

With the Easter Holiday coming to a close, I decided it was about time we took the number of Transformers toys featured in our Transformers Image Gallery to 1,400. So without futher ado, here are the latest additions to our extensive Transformers toy image gallery :-
BotCon G2 Breakdowns gallery only features In-Packaging pictures, as
we've still not taken the toy out of it's box. Silver Starscream is
"all toy" pictures, and we'll put some comparisons up with our other
Starscream toys at a later date. This gallery wasn't ever going to go
online, but we've had the toy for 2 years, so we thought it would be OK
to put it up now.

Softimus Prime and
Slumblebee toys.
The toys are currently only avaliable in New Zealand, and there's been no-word on when they will be released in the US or Europe. We think these toys are fantastic and have been longing for soft Transformers to be produced for some time. We were estatic that they arrived today, and take our

eBay seller epToys71 recently sold a repainted Transformers Energon Arcee toy with a blue and silver colour scheme. It is unknown at this time as to which line this toy is from. It could be Botcon 2007 recolour, a Transformers Movie toy, a Transformers Classics release, an unreleased Transformers Universe figure or something else. Which ever it is, you can see the item
here.

Pete Sinclair has posted a few times over on TFW2005 today regarding Botcon due to rather vocal displeasure that has been posted. His post was to let people know that there are still places available for the Movie, Hasbro tour and the toys. Here's his most informative post
"
Okay, just to be clear. There are still plenty of movie tickets available and there is still plenty of time on the boxed sets. The Hasbro tour is about full, there might be a few opening, BUT remeber, 100 people wil be drawn at random for the last 100 spots so even if you didn't make it in with the first 400 you still have a shot."

In
another update on his blg, Simon Furman has updated everyone on the latest happenings of TFAuctions mascot Cougar. Here's what Simon had to say.
"
A while back, it was my pleasure to supply a Transformer-style
character bio for Cougar, the official mascot of tfauctions.com (see:
http://tfauctions.com/mascot.php). Since then, Cougar's acquired a
nemesis and a sidekick (not to mention a sponsor or two). TF artist
extraordinaire Guido Guidi (who did the Cougar designs) is hard at work
on the next batch of illustrations, and there are plans afoot for a
dedicated website and more. As and when this happens, I'll post here
with updates."
