ImpossibleToys have revealed a single CG teaser image for their Quinesson toys, Allicon (the aligator from Transformers The Movie).  As of yet there is no word as to whether it will transform or whether it will follow the style set by their previous releases in this line (the Quntessons and Nightbird)

Lets kick off 2012 with in-hand images of the Transformers Alternity Goldbug toy from Takara-Tomy, thanks to Autobase Aichi and Snakas.  The figure is a recoloured version of Transformers Alternity Bumblebee and Cliffjumper using metallic gold paint and with a dark blue head based on the G1 Throttlebot character / toy.

­­Seibertro­n.com have published three news stories containing images from a recent Japanese garage kit show.  The first mirrors images that were originally published on TFC Toys weibo page that shows i­mages of a previously unannounced third-party Hearts of Steel: Starscream figure. Normally MasterMind Creations are the company that fans associate with Hearts of Steel products but this new figure is from D.I. Studio.  You can view a copy of some of the images at the bottom of this news story. >

The second story contained i­mages and information from the  TEKMEN weibo page which showed some news images of a Super-Deformed Convoy (Optimus Prime) figure that, despite his proportions, appears to be able to transform, albeit by taking him apart and rebuilding the vehicle mode.  The figure comes complete with a trailer, accessories and multiple hands.

The team behind the Perfect Effect line of third party Transformers products, have posted an update on their blog that contains a teaser image of both Lio Convoy (Beast Wars II) and Big Convoy (Beast Wars Neo).  Does this means that both of these characters will be seeing a 3rd party release?  Most probably. If that happens, then you can expect to see black recolours based on their BWII and BWNeo recoloured figures as well as potentially a Flash and Galva-Leo Convoy version.
