FansProject have posted some teaser images of their upcoming Function X project which is really a third party Headmaster release. The figures featured within the preview images are Chromedome, Brainstorm, Mindwipe, Minerva, Weirdwolf and Skullcruncher but repainted as Optimus Prime from the Generation One episiode "City of Steel".  Does this mean that there will also be an "Arcee" repaint of Chromedome? Time will tell.

TFormers have images of the Summer Wonder Festival 2012 Exclusive Minerva Repainted Figure which CMS Corps say is based on the original designs for Minelba, though are actually Muzzel's colours, the headmaster partner of Nightbeat.

CM's Corporation have updated their blog with three images of their upcoming Summer Wonderfest exclusive Minerva Nightbeat figure.  The toy is a recolour of their officially licensed Minelba figure but it is the other images which are causing the most amount of discussion around the fan community because it is an alternatve head for their Ginrai figure that turns him into Hi-Q!  Yes the Powermaster figure from the Western release of Powermaster Optimus Prime. The blog post points out that, at the Summer Wonderfest, all you will get is the head of Hi-Q with the Minerva Nightbeat type figure, Ginrai's body is sold separately.

Images from the 2012 Winter Wonderfestival have started to come in.  Since Tomy (TakaraTomy) are not in attendance it was thought that Transformers images would be thin on the ground. 

CMS Corphave filled the gap by showing of a resin prototype Ginrai and (a possible final version) Minerva, as well as an upcoming "Minerva Special Edition" figure based on the colors of Nightbeat (and the Minerva Night Beat special release in Japan.) Also shown off on the Minerva Special poster is an extra head based on Hi-Q from the Marvel Comics Transformers run that can be attached to the Gutto Kuru Ginrai's body.

CM Corp have updated their website with more images of their upcoming PVC Minerva figure which is from their Guttu Kurru series.  Minerva was one of the Headmaster Juniors from Transformers Masterforce where the toy was a recolour of Nightbeat.  The toy, which represents the character in her exo-suit, comes with interchangable faces and stands 185mm.  The 2nd Transformers figure in the series will be Ginrai.  You can view three images below, with the rest available here.
