We thought we'd bring your attention to two nice ebay auctions for some more of the unusual, technically not official Transformers items.

The first is one of the Transforming watch series, always popular, and this time it the rare Radio Watch. This is the first time I've seen this piece for sale, myself, and it looks great.

The second item is the infamous Four Star Jet, a non-official remolded version of Generation One Starscream.  The FourStar jets have been popular with G1 seeker fans as they create yet another different G1 seaker.

AcToys has been updated with Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 1 Electro Disrupter Liger, the partially clear\black version of Transformers Classics Mirage (Henkei Liger).

Meanwhile HK-TF has been updated with images of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Hoist, a repaint of Transformers Movie Longarm in G1 Hoist colours.
