Toymachine posted the following on
TF @ The Moon - Sake Comments yesterday.
Well, I got the newsletter from Metrodome today, so I thought I better get a copy pre-ordered.
I've received a dispatch notice already stating that it's been shipped.
So hopefully my copy will arrive before it's official release on Monday.

Benson Yee has an update on his website,
BWTF regarding Alternator Skids. In the article he has information on plotlines that Hirofumi Ichikawa had laid out, now going unused in
favor of the KissPlayer storyline. Of note are the prospect of a
BinalTech Hot Rod (now rumored to be a Mirage redeco in the KissPlayer
line), the use of Masterpiece Ultra Magnus as an Autobot Commander, and
the potential for history-altering changes during the run of the BT
storyline.
Thanks to
The Allspark for originally reporting his update.

Kickback, from
TF World 2005, has posted a large bunch of information on there message board. Here's a snippet :-
Optimus v. Megatron 2 packs
This time I'm not going off a description, but off a picture.
These are deluxe figures, and supposed to be brand new molds. The Optimus Prime figure is indeed a G1 figure, but his vehicle mode is hauntingly familiar to Robot Masters Optimus Prime in vehicle mode. He seems to have a lot of articulation ... the way they had him posed in the packaging art made me think of THS-02 Convoy in terms of articulation. Could be just really good packaging art though. (wasn't THS-01 Galaxy Convoy?)
No idea his accessories.
The Megatron is indeed G2 Megatron. In tank mode, he's green with purple camoflauge, just like his G2 incarnation. This is *NOT* the Hero mold from what I could tell. The picture was pretty small, but I do believe his gun is now on his arm as opposed to his shoulder? Again, not sure. Need bigger pictures!
The $39.99 two pack of "Optimus v. Megatron" is actually the ultra sized BW figures. Now, like everyone else, I'm curious as to if they're the original, or if they're the Beast Wars Reborn set from Takara-Tomy. My source believed it was the BWR set and NOT the original Ultra figures, but he is unable to confirm. To the same, reliable sources have said they're just the original Ultra figures. So, just to be safe, we know they're the Ultra sized figures. We just don't know which ones.
Guess we'll find out soon enough though.
