yizhi521 of TF08.net has posted some more images of the Transformers Universe Special Edition Overkill figure. You can view the mirrored images below as well as a copy of the profile from the box.
Its only a matter of time until one of these toys turn up on eBay.
"Formerly bound to Soundwave as a partner and slave, Overkill was often
overlooked by enemy and ally alike. Recently, however, he has overcome
his diminutive size, reinstalling his cerebro-circuitry in a larger,
more dangerous body. Now, he is free to indulge his destructive whims,
stomping cars flat, snapping tractors trailers in half with his jaws,
and being generally terrifying."

The US HasbroToyShop has been updated with several Transformers Animated and Transformers Universe features, profiles and images.
Bumper Battlers Night Watch Optimus Prime
If he has to fight OPTIMUS PRIME prefers to do it out in the open, and
to keep it fair. He's wise enough to know that the DECEPTICONS don't
feel the same way, so he uses his special night mode that lets him
sneak up on the bad guys without being seen.
Gear up for on-the-go fun with this stealth truck vehicle! Press
the robot down for vehicle mode or press the bumper and watch the robot
pop right up! With fun electronic battle and speech sounds, this
quick-conversion AUTOBOT leader is ready to roll out
Bumper Battlers Sting Racer Bumblebee
Racing into danger at top speed, BUMBLEBEE blasts electric stingers at
every bad guy he sees. He may be the smallest member of the AUTOBOT
crew, but he's also the fastest, and his stingers pack enough punch to
put down almost any bad guy!
Gear up for on-the-go fun with this streetcar racer vehicle! Press
the robot down for vehicle mode or press the bumper and watch the robot
pop right up! With fun electronic battle and speech sounds, this
quick-conversion AUTOBOT character is ready to roll out!
Swindle
SWINDLE is a one-robot black market. He's only a DECEPTICON by default,
since they're the ones who most often take advantage of his unbeatable
deals on armor, weapons and combat systems. If it shoots, explodes, or
focuses light into a beam intense enough to melt high-grade armor,
SWINDLE will sell it to anyone. Anyone who can pay his price, that is.
Most of his inventory, he scavenges from those who fall in battle, but
he doesn't mind helping a crippled AUTOBOT all the way to the scrap
heap before stripping him of his weapons.
Universe Legends Beachcomber
Team up with the AUTOBOT alliance and take on DECEPTICON forces! This
quick conversion figure is ready for action and prepared for whatever
adventure is in store! Battle even the mightiest opponents in robot
mode and then convert the figure to dune buggy vehicle mode and roll
out!
Meanwhile TFW2005 have received some stock images and informatin of two other Transformers Animated toys.
Skywarp
Name: Skywarp
Faction: Decepticons
Function: Fearful Super Pilot
Motto: They're heading right for us! Run!
Bio: Fearful Super Pilot
SKYWARP wouldnt call himself a coward. He'd call himself smart. So what
if he runs away from combat? Fighting is dangerous! All those missiles
and lasers could really hurt someone! As a clone of STARSCREAM, he's
got all the power in and skill of the leader of the DECEPTICON air
forces, but none of the courage or ambition. He could easily be one of
the most dangerous DECEPTICONS of all time, but since he screams and
runs away the second a shot is fired, he's mostly just a joke.
Galactic Powers and Abilities:
- Gets shot in the back more than any other DECEPTICON
- Uses his teleportation ability to run away faster
- Even just seeing a picture of MEGATRON gives him nightmares
Shockwave / Longarm
Name: Shockwave
Faction: Decepticons
Motto: Secrets are the foundation of power.
Bio:
SHOCKWAVE is the ultimate spy. Able to change his voice, energy
signature, and even his appearance at will, he has spent years
infiltrating the AUTOBOT power structure. Graduating near the top of
the class from the AUTOBOT Academy, he moved through the ranks of the
Elite Guard, eventually becoming head of the Intelligence Division. Not
once did anyone suspect the bright, friendly AUTOBOT known as LONGARM
of being a devious enemy spy.
* Expert code breaker and thief.
* Enjoys blackmailing AUTOBOTS in positions of power.
* Stole his AUTOBOT identity from old historical files.
The stock images can be seen below

Seibertron.com are reporting that the highly-anticipated Transformers Club exclusive Seacon sets are
finally arriving. The figures had originally been
announced as a Wal-Mart exclusive for original Transformers Universe
line in August 2004, during the Official Transformers Collectors' Club
Convention, but the set had been shelved due to lack of retailer
interest and its fate had been uncertain for years. Some fans, such as Minon from our own message board, were fortunate enough to pick up the figures and now thnaks to the TFCC more Transformers fans are able to do so.
