Another ebay auction for the recolours of the Sports Label Convoy toy (often referred to as Marine Convoy or Ultra Magnus), this time with a slightly different colour scheme. The toy is also picture in mock-up packaging (notice part of the box refers to the toy as Convoy and others as Megatron), despite reports to the contrary on some other sites. You can view the auction
here. The final colours of the toy made still change,the box certainly will, and as such their is still no official word on its final name.

If you cast your eyes over to the
Hasbro toyshop, you'll find a complete listing of the Transformers Robot Heroes toys, including Generation One and Transformers Movie characters.
I'm not sure when they were added, but I'd not seen them listed there before.

After taking a little break to cover the Simpson toys,
eBay is back on the Transformers bandwagon, advertising the Transformers section on the homepage of it's American site. The focus today is on a repaint / kitbash of the Lead class Optimus Prime toy, recoloured to look more like Optimus Prime from the actual Transformers Movie.
It will be interesting to see how long Transformers remains in the "main stream".

Talk Transformers has an image of the Decepticon Sneak Attack 5-pack of Transformers Robots Heroes. In typical toy-company style, the box is far larger than needed to hold the five small toys, although it does come with some nice cardboard display buildings.

Talk Transformers.
The toy comes with a silver version of Roller as well as appearing to have the Cybertron logo painted onto it's shoulder, rather than being a sticker.
