Cybergundam blog has posted some scans from the latest issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine which includes a page showing both of the final versions of Transformers Alternity Megatron, Henkei Smokescreen and Red Alert (the last two figures in the Henkei series as confirmed by this months Figure King) as well as a Transforming Autobot symbol.
TakaraTomy have updated the Alternity section of the Transformers website with a silhouette of a new figure and the words "Comming Soon", and no that's not a typo on our part, but is wrong on the TakaraTomy page.

“From Here to Alternity”
[World ID: Primax 109.0 Beta]
The time is 2009. The place is another Earth. There, the robot life
forms called Cybertrons and humanity live peacefully together. However,
a quarter century after they first met, an unknown threat endangers the
world. On the four outer planets of the solar system, large marks
resembling the claws of a beast have simultaneously appeared.
On Earth, following the appearance of the marks, a mysterious ring of
light appeared in the skies above Vancouver, America. When the
Cybertron army deployed there, the ring of light floated above their
heads in the shape of a closed racetrack, and around it was racing
something that appeared to be a silver sports car. When Commander
Convoy saw this strange sight, he whispered, “The promised time has
arrived,” and he stopped his compatriots as they prepared for battle.
“That visitor is our friend. To be more precise, that is the me of
another world. It is Convoy.”
Two years before, he had met a messenger from another world and made a
secret promise. In the year 2009, the evil Megatron would bring the
terrifying Beast of Time and come to destroy the Earth. The beast
“Hytherion” was a super-dimensional life form and a powerful enemy that
those on Earth could not even touch. The only thing that could act
against this threat was the power of the multi-dimensional space
protectors called “Alternity.” Convoy agreed that when the danger
appeared, he would become a member of Alternity and fight alongside
them.
In the center of the ring, a spacetime window opened and a shining
metallic frame appeared from within. Convoy fused with the frame, and
before the Cybertrons’ eyes, he was reshaped and transformed into a
form matching that of the silver visitor. In that instant, he was
reborn as a manifestation of the Alternity super-beings. As Convoy
raised his hand into the skies and cast aside the veil of the
dimensions, the row of Hytherion’s giant fangs became visible covering
the heavens. And so, with modern Earth as its stage, an unimaginable
battle began.
Higher Definition
Biology: Alternity is a future form of the Transformers which, after
900,000 years, have evolved into a celestial being. Their bodies are
made of a higher-dimensional material called Alternium, and they have
huge forms that straddle multiple parallel worlds. As a result, it is
impossible for terrestrial beings to comprehend the entirety of their
appearance. Each individual fuses with their selves of countless
parallel worlds to make up a giant manifold being. The word Alternity,
referring to their multi-dimensional nature, has become the name for
the entire species.
Abilities: They are able to “reach out their hand” to various time
periods and dimensional worlds, and they can use their powers to
manipulate reality and duplicate timelines. Furthermore, when taking
individual action on the mortal plane, they use Transformer bodies
called “Auto-Avatars.” Each avatar’s mechanical function is about the
same as that of a modern Transformer, but various high functions have
been added through the technology of the Alternity. The Auto-Avatars
normally transform into the form of a sports car, which is the most
efficient method of transportation for using the super-dimensional
locomotion of the Timaeus Drive.
Weaknesses: The Alternity are experts on dealing with multiple
dimensions, but they are not omnipotent in the matter of time travel.
Their greatest weakness is that they cannot move under their own power
to any time prior to when Alternium was first created; that is, Earth
date 2007. This often works to their disadvantage when battling
Hytherion. For missions that go past this barrier, they must use
long-range time-space weapons, or the aid of non-Alternity agents
called “Protectors.”
A-01 Masterlord Convoy
Alternity Grand Commander Convoy
Alt-mode: Nissan GT-R
Convoy’s new form, which transforms into a GT-R sports car, is a very
unusual transformation in which he uses the super-material frame built
into his body to link with the hyper-being from the future,
“Alternity.” This body, which is known as the “Auto-Avatar,” is in a
way an avatar of Convoy that has evolved into a higher form. Alternity
includes a collective of many Convoys from different dimensions, and
each of them can have its own avatar. So far, the two Auto-Avatars that
are known to exist are the silver one known as “Vector 01” that was
created in the “BT World” from which Alternity originates, and the red
traditionally-colored “Vector 109.” Each has ranged space-time weapons
on both arms called “tachyon blasters,” and in car mode, they can
activate the Timaeus Drive that opens the super-dimensional portal.
With these new abilities, Convoy will continue his mission to protect
peace on Earth and defend freedom, and will thus challenge Megatron’s
ambitions.
