First up TV Aichi has updated it's website confirming that Transformers Animated will be shown in Japan on 3rd April 20:10 at 08:00. They have also launched a mini site for the series.
Secondly new images of the Japanese Transformers Animated toys have surfaced showing off the metallic paint schemes. You can find these images within the Transformers Animated galleries for each of the toys.
As the only new character name is for Bulkhead, now called Ironhide in Japan to fit it closer with the Transformers movies, we have just decided to add the images to the existing galleries rather than create new ones.

posted preorders for the first wave of the Japanese Transformers
Animated figures, giving us the first images of these figures. These
are promotional images, and thus may be enhanced with photoshop;
however it seems that the figures may hav a metallic paint finish
applied, and Ironhide (US Bulkhead) seems to be a different shade of
green.
US Toy seller Big Bag Toy Store has posted listings, including images, of the Japanese Transformers Animated toys which include new metallic paint schemes. Ironhide (Bulkhead) also now sports a more teal shade as well,
Ironhide
Bumblebee (he'll probably be called Bumble)
Optimus Prime

The-Arker has posted some new in-packaging images of two Transformers Animated figures that were first shown at Botcon 2009. The toys are Cybertron Mode Ratchet and Arcee. Both figures will be Toys R Us exclusives within the US. You can view the profiles and Galaactic Powers of both figures below.
Deluxe Cybertron Mode Autobot Ratchet
Deluxe ArceeBack when the war was at its worst, even the Autobots who weren't programmed to fight were called into battle. More than once, Autobot Ratchet was forced out onto the battlfield not just as a medic, but as a warrior. They're not memories he likes to recall, but he learned more than one lesson that has saved his life in the years since.
Galactic Powers & Abilities
* Injured Autobots often request him as their medic.
* Specializes in modifying armor and weapons to peak conditions.
* When forced to fight, usually shoot to disable, instead of destroy.
Arcee has dedicated her life to the power of information. As a teacher, she saw to it that young Autobots all learned the value of the facts, and how to tell truth from lies. During the war, she turned her dedication to the truth to carrying data for the Autobot High Command, often from deep behind enemy lines. She will face any danger to defend what is right, no matter what the cost.
Galactic Powers & Abilities
* One of the top sword fighters on Cybertron
* Modified to make rocket-powered jumps in car mode.
* Encrypted memory core is nearly impossible to hack.

Chinese fansite, The-Arker, has posted some new images of Electrostatic Soundwave and Freeway Jazz in packaging. The images also include their bio's which read as:
Electrostatic Soundwave
After a couple of years working alongside Laserbeak, Soundwave
realized it was time for a change. His new partner, Ratbat, lets him
lay down multiple tracks of sound at a time, creating frequencies that
can do more than just control other robots. Now, Soundwave is into
straight-up mind control. Using complex synch beats he can make people
- and even the Autobots - do whatever he wants.
Freeway Jazz
With Decepticon activity at its peak near the galaxy rim, rumors
begin to circulate that Earth may be getting more evil visitors as
well. In anticipation of incoming Decepticons, Autobot Jazz goes
undercover, inmersing himself in Earth culture where he hides in plain
site. He can enjoy the sights and sound of Earth while planning the
perfect moment to strike.
