The Toys R Us Japan website has been updated with new images of Masterpiece Thundercracker, Henkei Ironhide and Henkei Galvatron.
TakaraTomy have updated their website with the a page for Transformers Henkei Sunstreaker, part four of the Transformers Henkei comic, a character page for Transformers Encore 12 Metroplex, a new wallpaper and finally, a character page for Generation One Prowl.
eBay seller tfctoys has placed an auction on eBay for the upcoming 25th Anniversary Optimus Prime figure. The auction is for a complete loose version of the figure, which is a recoloured Generation One Optimus Prime with bonus comic (Issue 1 of the US Marvel Transformers series), DVD and talking stand.
eBay seller katier9297 has placed an auction on ebay for their custom Transformers Classics Stunticons, which include the ability to combine into Menasor. The toy is made up from remoulded figures from Classics, Universe and Cybertron. The auction has been updated to include some bonus items (a trailer for Motomaster as well as guns and a sword for Menasor). Motormaster uses he Cybertron Optimus Prime mould whilst the other toys are made from Classics Mirage, Universe Sunstreaker and Universe Prowl. There are a load of images on the auction, so its well worth taking a look even if you do not intend on bidding.
An ebay auction has turned up for what appears to be a testshot for Transformers Universe Stormcloud, the Decepticon recolour of Univese Powerglide. The colour scheme of the toy however is compeltely different, featuring black and purple, in what is basically more accurate to the original Micromaster Stormcloud. Were these the original planned colours, or is this the Transformers Henkei version of the toy?
Sharbric is back again on Yahoo Japan auctions with more of the Clear testshots from the Transformers Collectors Edition line, often referred to as Lunchtime Specials.
In addition to the Targetmaster Hot Rodimus auction you will now find Sideswipe, with hands and weapons from the clear Starscream toy (2nd mold) as well as a clear Matrix (from the later re-issue Convoy set). The second auction is for a clear Smokescreen with the same Starscream parts and Convoy hand.
This is the first time that we have seen a clear matrix, indicating that a clear version of Convoy was made for both the original and later releases in the Collectors Edition line.
You can see full image galleries of the clear Sideswipe, Smokescreen and Starscream (with Megatron gun) in our Transformers Toy Image Gallery.
Ebay recently saw two unlicenced Worlds Smallest Transformers toys sold, for quiet high prices, which were made as exclusive items for the Wonderfest 2008 convention which took place earlier in the year in Japan.
The figures were Springer and Goldbug, both new molds, both fully transformable, and both looking pretty nice (especially Springer).
TF08.net member yizhi521 has posted a new image of the Corvette toy that recently surfaced. The new image shows that the car is a "Hot Wheels" style toy with a robot mode picture of the Corvette appearing on the underside. You can views the mirrored image below.
Amazon Japan have updated their Transformers Alternity Nissan GTR product page with some new images of the final figure rather than the prototype images they were using previously. Like other recent images the Amazon Japan ones are of the silver version of the figure. You can view the mirrored images below.
Update:
Amazon Japan have also updated their product listings for Masterpiece Thundercracker with new images as well.
