As we reported earlier in the week, the Argos Catelogue is launched tomorrow. Most of the toys have already been annouced here, Ravage, Titanium Rodimus Prime, Titanium Soundwave. Now TFW2005 have a
scan, thanks to Fort Max and Scourge, of the Transformers page which shows Classics Jetfire, 6" Titanium War Within Prime, 20th Anniversary
Prime (Animated Movie Edition with Blue Gun), Classics Megatron
and Optimus 2-pack, Classics Legends figures, Classics Rodimus, and
Alternators Wheeljack, Prime, and Ravage.
The interesting thing is that Titanium Optimus Prime is shown, though Rodimus and Soundwave are in stock.

The images appear to be scans from a catelogue, perhaps Diamond or a toy fair slide. The images show a plush Generation One Prime, the Beatmix Bumblebee (which has a MP3 playing mode) and the previous known Optimash Prime. You can view the images,

That's what it sounds like if you read two listings on
Big Bad Toy Store's website for what they call JPW 2007 (Japanese Beast Wars).
"Little is known about these items yet, but we have confirmed that they
are all new molds, and they will be fully transformable figures (not
PVC figures). Takara is accepting orders for these items for one
weekend only at a trade show in Japan, so it is important that you
place preorders by January 18th so we can order the appropriate amount.
More info will be listed as we receive it from Japan. "

I went to the Stratford store in the east end of London today and purchased one for 19.99. The store is completely empty of any of the other new Transformers though.
Saber72 also found the double pack in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

Over the last week there have been several reports of the releases of Alternator Ravage (Mk II), Titanium Rodimus Prime and Titanium Soundwave, across the UK in Argos stores. At first only Argos Extra's had the new stock in, although as expected regular Argos stores soon caught up.
Although these toys are official Hasbro UK stock, their true official release date is the 20th January, which is when the new Argos Catelogue is released. Several fans, including ourselves, have been able to get hold of the toys early due to the leaked Argos store numbers featured on our site in December. (see below). So far many Argos, are yet to receive the stock of the Transformers Classics Optimus and Megaton 2-pack.
Once the catelogue is released on the 20th, you will be able to use the numbers on their website.
- Transformers Jaguar (cat no 369 7788) - Alt Ravage II
- Transformers Optimus and Megatron (cat 369 8938) - Classics
- Cybertron Heroes (cat 369 5319) - (Titanium Soundwave / Rodimus)
Update: As per the later news story, we have now received two confirmed reports that the Transformers Classics 2-pack has been spotted, one in London and the other in Yorkshire.

At the moment it appears that only Argos Extras have stock from the new Argos catelogue (the recently spotted Alternator Ravage and Titanium Soundwave and Rodimus Prime). All other stores will probably have these toys in stock around the 17th Jan, judging by last year, though our nearest Argos Extra has already sold out of the Titaniums.
Update: Thanks to Toymachine for
posting that the Titaniums are also out in normal Argos stores.
