Amazon Japan have updated their website with some new images and updated product pages for some of the Transformers Go figures. Oddly enough, the updates have only included Transformers Go G02 Jinbu, G03 Ganou and G04 Gaidora.
You can view the new images below.

Cobra Zartan has posted an image of one of the testshots he recently picked up from China which is for the upcoming IDW-inspired Generations Deluxe Orion Pax figure in his vehicle mode


New 3rd party group Mach5 have announced their 2nd figure will be a recolour of their Gauntlet (Ironfist) figure with a new head which will be called Piston who is a homage to the G1 Crankcase.


TakaraTomy have posted a new in-packaging image of their Transformers Works Super GT Optimus Prime and Star Saber figures who will debut tomorrow. You can check out the new image below

Thanks to a Japanese Image board, magazine scans showing off the Japanese Transformers Go Exclusive Combiner have come to light as well as the first images of Transformers Masterpiece Tigertracks.
GO-1 Kenzan (the police car), GO-2 Jinbu (the jet), and GO-3 Gan'o (the fire truck) look pretty nice

Joblo have posted an article from a "source" claiming to confirm who some of the Transformers will be appearing in the latest live action movie. This should very much be taken with a pinch of salt as the script it's supposedly from could easily be a fan produced piece of fiction. For those not wanting to be spoilt, look away now.
From Joblo:
That's right, folks, our source has confirmed that TRANSFORMERS 4 will feature none other than the famed Dinobots, including fan favorite Grimlock. No word on whether he'll retain his neanderthal voice, but one can only hope he does as that's a true staple of the character. One of the villains of the film will be a character named Lockdown, who has a ship full of decommissioned Transformers, including the dinobots, which are somehow brought back to life by a captured Optimus Prime. Prime is joined by returning autobot Bumblebee and at one point both characters (and potentially others) will "ride" the Dinobots into battle in Hong Kong (which fits well within the announcement that the film would film partially in China), with Prime on Grimlock and Bumblebee on a Pterandon, presumably Swoop.
Additionally, the autobot Hound will make his debut, as well as a former "Samurai" Decepticon that wants to regain his honor and become an Autobot (UPDATE: Source confirms this is Drift). And what about Megatron, who is presumed dead after the last film? Well, fans of TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE will be happy to know that not only will the dinobots be making their debut, but also Galvatron, who is basically Megatron "reborn" (and originally voiced by the first Spock, Leonard Nimoy).
So those characters who are listed are:

Fellow UK site FullMetalHero.com report, via twitter, that the Transformers Generations Wave Three Deluxes re out now at normal UK retail. Sideswipe and AirRaid were spotted in a Toymaster with the figures retailing for £14.99
