Earlier this month Big Bag Toy Store posted a new listing for a Transformers Go! Optimus Prime figure which was reported to change from Robot into a train, into a dragon as well as combining with Kenzan and Gekisomaru. No image was available of the figure at that time but now, thanks to a Japanese Gaming event, 4gamer.net have posted an image which includes the first real look at the upper body design of the figure which appears to come with two swords.
Credit to 4Gamer.net for the images.

Recently there was a listing found for a Rattrap Generations figure within the Wal*Mart computer system which led fans into believing that there is a Rattrap figure in the works, something the fan community was speculating about after James Roberts name-dropped the character when talking about the comic books. Well over last weekend at Roll Out Roll Call 2013 it was confirmed that designs have been produced for a Generations Rattrap figure as well as a possibly a fourth Beast Wars character. No details were given on who that additional character could be; it was more deduced from the wording that was used rather than being directly stated; though the Rattrap design is said to be based on original season one form, much like the comic art has shown, rather than the TransMetal figure. Whilst nothing was shown since the Generations Rhinox figure is turning out to be be very close to the concept design (which was shown), this should give everyone hope that the final Rattrap figure should also look close to his design which is said to be close to the animation model. It was mentioned at the show that the figure was to be revealed at NYCC though from the reports we have read online it appears that this wasn't the case.
No word on when the figure is expected to hit, but it is coming.

Both Big Bad Toy Store and RobotKingdom have posted new listings for a re-issue of the TakaraTomy Transformers Hybrid Style Convoy Black Edition (THS Convoy). The figure was originally released as an e-Hobby exclusive. The re-issue of this figure is completely out of left-field considering only three THS figures were produced, Convoy, Galaxy Convoy and the Black Version of Convoy. We own all three figures and think that they are fantastic little "Masterpiece-styled" figures, though because the Black version was also release with parts to convert the original convoy into a Generation 2 version, does this mean that the regular release will also be finding a re-issue? Time will tell.
