Kaiser of the HK-TF Forums has posted a scan of two upcoming figures from TakaraTomy. The first is a sketch of the robot mode for Transformers Alternity GT-R Convoy whilst the second show the Chara-Hobby Exclusive Transformers Henkei Wildrider toy.

The figure is a dark repainted of Transformers Classics HotRod and is once again fairly similar to a BotCon exclusive toy.

The Allspark member Powered Convoy has gained a testshot of an upcoming Transformers Universe Treadbolt toy. The figure is a recoloured version of Transformers Classics Jetfire in G1 Mircomaster Air Patrol leader Treadbolt's colours.

You can see Powered Convoy's images here.

FantoFan have updated their early bird pre-order page with new images of Masterpiece Thundercracker.

The toy is said to have a new face sculpt and is the fourth colour variation of the MP Starscream mold.

Thanks once again to Break for letting us know about his latest find at Toys R Us (in the UK). 

My ToysR Us had the Transformers Animated Activators in today - and they are quite nice toys for the price of £4.99 (they are basic size so could have easily been marked at 7 quid by Hasbro). They have an automatic transformation like the flip changers and are pretty poseable too - and Bumblebee is in scale to the deluxe/voyager figures! In the assortment as well as BB are Strscream & Bulkhead (who seems to have made it into every scale except deluxe so far)
