Several fo you submitted news about the "alternator style" Mini being reported. This is not new news, but it seems many people missed this.
Back on the 24th June we reported that the US Mini site had been updated with a picture of a robot Mini which could be used to give you the impression of what an Alternator Mini woudl be like. Well almost a month on and some other sites are now picking up on this news. The picture is NOT of an Alternator/BinalTech Mini and is the same robot used for some advertising by Mini a few months previous to the image appearing on their website. In fact their is a avi file around of this "robot". We shall try to dig out a link to the video footage for you to see
To read our original report you will need to go back to
Page 7 of our news.

TF World 2005 once again have more pictures of Energon Testshots. These include painted Steamhammer and Stormjet and several of Barricade. What Hasbro make of the rapidly increasing leaks of these Energon figures is not known as this time, but is expected to come up during the Hasbro Panel at OTFCC. Hasbro were extremely keen to stamp out the displaying of these un-authorised images in the past, and for a short time gain mild success.

The first energon KnockOffs are now out in China, they are of HotShot and Inferno and can be seen
here.
You can comment
here.
The latest Knock-Offs we"ve seen in the UK include Generation 2 Minijets, DEulxe Beast Machines Aerodrone and Beast Machines BlastCharge. The BlastCharge one is made from better materials than some of the official toys especially some of the Beast Wars II and Beast Wars Neo. They were made of much thinner, lighter plastic. We shall put up some galleries of these soon. Also the Supersize Knock-Off Aerial bots are also floating around the UK. Superion has lipstick, and these toys are to the same scale as the other supersized gestalts.
