The latest issue of Figure King has hit news stands, and with it a bunch of new news to speculate about. In the issue is some excerpts from TakaraTomy's Transformers designers, among the things mentioned are:
- The samurai motif for Transformers GO! was created to appeal to TakaraTomy's customers.
- Response to Encore 23 Fortress Maximus was greater than expected - therefore the Encore line will continue.
- Masterpiece Prowl & Streak's orders exceeded TakaraTomy's expectations - so the figures are delayed as a result of increasing production.
- An announcement regarding Masterpiece Smokescreen is impending and the figure will feature a lot of new parts compared to Prowl & Streak.
- TakaraTomy's designers are going to continue to bother car companies about licensing their vehicles for the Masterpiece line.
- TakaraTomy's version of Metroplex will feature different colors and an additional gun compared to Hasbro's mass retail version.
- Tokyo Toy Show will run on June 15th & 16th.
- The first 3 Autobot GO! figures will be available to purchase early at the show.
- Masterpiece Tigertrack will be available for 6,000 Yen at the show and will feature non-chromed versions of Lambor's Amazon.co.jp exclusive pile drivers over the default pile drivers included with Masterpiece LamborExpect a bit announcement at the show. Could this be Masterpiece Smokescreen or something else?
- McDonald's will be running another Transformers Happy Meal promotion starting June 21st - could there be GO! Happy Meal toys on the way?

First up was an article on the Chrono Label line. The prototype of the figure was once again shown, showing the toy in both robot and watch mode. The price of the toy is listed as "undecided" but with a current release date of June. Its reported that the figure will be made with Stainless steel parts and is described as a car-robot item manufactured by Shehorp.
There were packaged photographs of the Transformers Alternity GT-R Convoy (red version) as well as more images of the Fairlady Z Megatron prototype.
The Disney Label Transformers Mickey Mouse (coloured version) was once again shown as was Masterpiece Grimlock who was photographed wearing an apron and bow tie.
For Transformers Henkei fans, Ratchet was once again shown as having a feb 2009 release day, with the first image of the Japanese release of Inferno (for Figure King) being published. There are comparison images between the Henkei and Transformers Classics Ratchet version shown in the issue. Transformers Henkei Hot Shot, Dinobot and the Minicon set are all announced as having a March 2009 release, with the photographs showing the US versions rather than the Japanese re-colours.
The Transformers Encore: "Cassette Masterpiece War Volume 1" set is introduced in the Magazine. Figure King list the set as containing Lazerbeak rather than Buzzsaw who was originally reported as being in the set.
Finally their is an article entitled "25 years of the Transformers"
