Two auctions appeared earlier on eBay Australia for the Transformers Dark of the Moon Starscream and Crankcase / Dread figures. The auctions include two imags of the toys in robot mode, albeit mistransformed.
DOTMToys has posted two images over on 4chan /toy/ of a new Human Alliance figure from Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The figure has only been shown in vehicle mode, and a mis-transformed form at that but it joins the previous leaked "AWE Striker" figure as a smaller Human Alliance figure.
The Allspark.com report that there are "three new auctions have appeared on Asian auction site TaoBao.com. Three auctions for repackaged Cybertron Scouts on Generations packaging (Like the Mini-Cons before them, the card backs do not actually say "Generations", however they are the same red as the Generations card backs, and not the yellow of Hunt for the Decepticons or Reveal the Shield). The auctions are for Undermine, Wreckloose, and Backstop.
For those of you that may not think this newsworthy, as these toys have had multiple card backs before, a closer look at Backstop may be in order. Instead of purple and mustard, the toy is now gray and blue!
UndermineThe figures are described as being a homage to the Transformers Victory character Land Cross (Multiforce) which does appear to be the case when you look at how they combine. The listing suggests that, much like Multiforce, the toys will be able to combine in pairs as well as all 6 together.
The figure is set for release on the 6th April 2011 priced at 210yen per figure. You can view a picture below

In a follow-up to the news story we bought you on Christmas Eve which included the first images of the Transformers Dark of the Moon toy packaging, ACToys.net have posted two new images of the Chinese packaging for Dark of the Moon Megatron. The packaging appears to be a sample as there is plenty of space left on the back and it is missing the writing from the previous images.
