Thanks to the
Japanese TF Image board we bring you another large image of some new toys. Included is a great shot of GD-08, the first Transformers Spinosaurus, another picture of WolfFang and the Micron Booster Ver3. You can view the gallery of these images
here
Update by Nevermore
Here is an update on the names
Refute/Spark Lift repaint => Clamp
Crumplezone/Cannon repaint => Trigger
Incinerator/Turbo repaint => Wrench
Six-Speed/Blit repaint => Socket
Reverb/Bumper repaint => Plier
Jolt/Hop repaint => Bit
Sullow repaint => Dice
Gagenda repaint => Jack
Cyana repaint => Plug
Dead End/Bug repaint 1 => Bug General
Dead End/Bug repaint 2 => Bug Drone
Nightbeat/Cha repaint => Gauge
Plus, there"s also two more Microns, namely, repaints of two members of the Armada Emergency Team, which are part of the "Hellflame Micron" campaign similar to last year"s Windcharger campaign, which apparently has something to do with Flame Convoy.
The Prowl repaint is a Ito Yokado exclusive named "Quasar" that will be a free giveaway for purchase of any Galaxy Force item, while the Firebot/Draft repaint is a Jusco exclusive named "Graviton" who will be a free giveaway for purchase of GD-07 Flame Convoy. Expect a Makeshift/Twist repaint coming up as well.
They"re limited in number (like, only the first X customers to purchase the items listed would get a free Micron in each participating store), but apparently the article doesn"t mention the exact number.
Credits for the last part, which required some actual *translations* from Japanese, should go partially to Doug Dlin at ATT.
Lastly, note that Overdrive appears to be coming WITH the long barrel.

The Japanese Image board has a scanned page from Issue 19 of the Garage Kit & Character Figure Replicant - Vol 19 Winter 2005 Edition. (ISBN 4-8124-1991-3) of a new Convoy and Ultra Magnus statue. They remind us of the two Metalforce Optimus Prime figures that were released several years ago (you"ll find both in our galleries).

STAR SABER and VICTORY LEO, they had been modified as Decepticon colors for "Undercover Mission".
Though their functions are as good as before, the coating of black colored paint can hide them by optical camouflage (however, the optical camo has dangerousness to the surface of their bodies.
It is impossible to continuation use over around 6 hours).
The weapons are modulated moderately because they worry to injure Earthlings even they are villain. Both Autobots can of course combine as VICTORY SABER.
You may think the mission should be completed when they show the ultimate "Victory Combination" form.
In the Middle East of the earth, there is the underworld cooperate with Decepticons. To investigate the area, the Autobots deploy "Undercover Mission" by a request from the U.N.
They selected STAR SABER and VICTORY LEO as infiltration members because OPTIMUS PRIME thought the both weren"t well known by the enemy. STAR SABER and VICTORY LEO were disguised as seceded from Autobots, and re-formatted like Decepticon colors. Now, their mission has been started...
