The Weibo page of tktf has been updated with a new colour image of the Super Deformed Convoy (Optimus Prime) that was previously seen in December 2010. So far there is no information on who is producing the figure, though it still appears that the toy will transform. Our bet is this could be a garage kit for Winter Wonderfestival, which takes place this month in Tokyo.
