L-U of HK-TF.com has posted a collection of images of the Transformers Dark of the Moon Voyager class Sentinel Prime figure which you can view here.
TFW2005.com board member Destro has posted a review and a couple of images on the TFW2005 message boards regarding the Kre-O Starscream set. The good news is that Destro reports that the quality of the parts is high and that it has a similar feel to lego, the bad news is that, as our images from Botcon highlight, whilst the vehicle modes look pretty cool, the robot mode for some of the figures is pretty poor, as is the case with Starscream. The mini Kreon figures do look pretty cool though and will probably be the main reason most people pick up the sets.
You can read the review here.

Toycollectors.com.au have posted the first image of the Hasbro release of Masterpiece Rodimus Prime. The toy comes packaged in robot mode, is recoloured and comes with an exclusive Targetmaster figure. The trailer for the toy is not shown, which is interesting considering that he his marked up as Rodimus Prime and not Hot Rod. The image also confirms what was long expected, that the toy will be a Toys R Us exclusive.
LethalFarce.com have posted an official Hasbro stock image of the upcoming Transformers Star Wars Cross Over Quad Changer toy.The figure, which can be seen below, transforms from Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader into two vehicles, the Republic Attack Cruiser or a Star Destroyer
KOToys have posted more images of their upcoming releases that we have been recently covering. First up GenZhao posted some more images of the final samples of Ghost Thundercracker and Ghost Skywarp. These toys are knock-offs of the Transformers Classics Starscream figure, made up to look like Thundercracker and Skywarp but with transparent plastic.
This was followed by more images of the boxes and cards for their upcoming combiner Cassette knock-offs. These include the first two of the rare and high-priced Japanese dinosaur cassettes. The boxes and inserts are made up to look as close to the originals as they could, which means you must take care when seeing these figures for sale. Though you will note that at the moment both of the Japanese Dinosaur cassettes have the same numbered instructions. This will probably change come the final release, but if not it will be the best way to tell the figures apart.
This was then followed up by more images of their upcoming Death Starscream figure. This toy is based on the e-Hobby Black Starscream that was released during the Collectors Edition years.
