Blueshirt2k5 of www.redshirt.co.uk sent in the following UK sightings report for Universe Inferno and Vector Prime.

"Bit of an interesting one this. I found what I think is a first sighting of Universe Inferno and Vector Prime in a toyshop in Weston Super-Mare called Lloyd's Toys.

It wasn't a speciality shop, they were both £19.99 on the shelves and in the European multilingual packaging which indicates this is an official release rather than something imported.

Pics of Inferno's box as proof:

EDIT: The story / images have now been removed, probably at the request of Fun Publications

Our longtime website sponsor, Robot Kingdom, has sent us through a quick message to let us know that the highly anticipated Transformers Universe Wave 5 Legends are now in stock.  These toys include Cosmos, Rodimus, Warpath and Wheelie.

Good news for French based Transformers fans, as the French Hypermarket chain Auchan are now stocking the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen preview figures, Soundwave and Bumblebee.  This means that France can claim the official debut of the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys.  When the figures will be released in other parts of the world is not yet know, but it does mean that you can expect to find a lot more on eBay in the coming weeks.

Credit goes to Vampry of TFW2005.com for the original report of the figures release.

JustIToys (Just Love Toys) have announced on their website that they will be producing a new batch of Dinorobots.  Unlike their previous WST (Worlds Smallest Transformers) version the new toys will be all new molds, around the size of the Transformers Classics, but based on the articulation of TakaraTomy's THS line.  You can see a shadowed out image here on their website.

Type-R has reported that TakaraTomy's site has been updated with a section for Transformers Alternity.

The site now features images of alt and bot modes of A-01 Convoy (Ultimate Metal Silver and Vibrant Red editions) in different profiles, flash animation of its "Synchrotech" transformation, toy features as well as desktop wallpapers.

Oddly, they've used a silhouette of Henkei Sunstreaker/Lambor to represent A-02 Megatron as "Coming Soon".
Both color variants of A-01 Convoy will be released in Japan next Thursday.

Takara Tomy have updated their Transformers website with their new products due for release on the 26th February. Included in this is an all new section for the Transformers Disney Label and both versions of the Mickey Mouse Transformer - color and monochrome.

The Transformers Henkei section has also be updated with Henkei Ratchet and Inferno, as well as the comic which comes included with Henkei Ironhide and Galvatron.
