If you're one of those people who love the Minicons / Micron toys, which were introduced with Transformers Micron Legend / Transformers Armada, then you're love the latest addtion to TransformersArmada.Blogspot, a gallery of the rare Space Galaxy Micron toys.

You can see the images, as well as various other Minicon goodness by following this link.

The first image of Transformers Movie Stealth Bumblebee was posted on the Hong Kong Talk Transformers message board this morning. The figure is a repainted, remolded 2008 Camero but with a partially black colour scheme and "battle mask" head.

I thought I'd update those of you who are after the Visual Works Exclusive Green Ratchet and do not want to pay out $150 for one that seller Hydra AKA Black Gears is offering the figure for $99.99. Here's what Hydra had to say

Emergency Green Ratchet:
I am offering the toy at $99.99 each, $50 less than online retailers, and a very competitive price considering the cost to obtain the item. Shipping to USA, Europe and Asia via EMS will be $18 for the first and $7 more for each additional figure ordered. This the cost of one would be $99.99 plus $18, two would be $199.98 plus $25, so on. At this point I have enough order forms available to fill numerous orders so I am not imposing a per-customer-limit. However, I only plan to accept pre-orders through the end of this month, so it would be in everyone's best interest to put your order in ahead of time. I absolutely guarantee support for all orders placed, although if my stock of the item sells out I may have to discontinue orders earlier than planned. The item will be shipped out promptly when it is released in April. All those who preorder from me will also receive a Japanese KitKat bar, although I don't expect that to be the deciding factor
in anyone's order.

Those interested should email him at blacklist@mm.blackgears.com

Good and bad news for people wanting to get the green Encore Ratchet. Big Bad Toy Store have put up a pre-order listing at the moment, only that figure will cost you $150!

Check out these awesome images of Wave 2 Real Gear for 2008. Figures include FARSIGHT T-20 (binoculars), MIDNIGHTER XR-4 (watch) and TWITCHER F451 (game controller). Look for these characters in February-March of 2008.

FARSIGHT T-20
FARSIGHT T-20 is a scientist and analyst who is used to examining both sides of any problem with which he is presented. His keen intelligence and highly logical mind can break down any issue to its most important few points and reach a conclusion within a few moments. He joined the AUTOBOTS not because of an ethical compulsion, but because his analysis put them squarely in the right. Many DECEPTICON strategists have tried to out think FARSIGHT T-20, but all have failed.

Below you will find eight new images of the Revoltech Starscream and Rodimus figures that will be released on the 18th March 2008 in Japan. The images include uncoloured prototypes as well as coloured versions.

We are pleased to bring you the first image of the Transformers Visual Works exclusive repaint of Transformers Encore Ratchet into Transformers Movie colours. Please note that the image is of the prototype, so the final version may change. Yes that means if you manage to get this limited edition figure as well as the e-Hobby 2008 New Years Ironhide, then you will have both G1 figures in their live action Transformers Movie colour schemes. TakaraTomy have released both of these figures as a celebration of not only the Transformers Movie's success, but also the longevity of the Transformers line.

To buy the figure you must purchase the Transformers Visual Works book. The book will come with a slip that can be used to purchase up to two figures, at a cost of 5200 yen each, about £25. If you want to buy more than two, you need to purchase additional copies of the book. Orders need to be placed by the 7th Jan 2008, with the figure shipping in April. Only orders from Japanese residents will be expected.
