Full Metal hero are reporting that Xovergen are designing a 3rd Party Fortress Maximus and Scorponok toy, which is backed up by the Xovergen Productions page we showing off very early concept designs.




ACToys have posted what is believed to be another hint that 3rd Party Group TFC Toys will be making a Computron (Technobots) 3rd party group.
You can see the designs on on ACToys

The Allspark and ToyWizard are both reporting that Malaysian retailers are starting to list two new TakaraTomy figure, Transformers Encore 23 Sixshot and Transformers Masterpiece 11S Sunstorm.
Sunstorm is rumoured to be a recolour of Transformers Masterpiece 11 Starscream (the new mold) and for some reason Toywiz are speculating that Sixshot may be the Figure King Lucky Draw Black Sixshot.

Rumour - Has Toys R Us UK Dropped the Kre-Os?
This is just a rumour at the moment, as we are trying to get an official comment from Toys R Us or Hasbro, but it appears that Toys R Us may have dropped the Kre-O line ... either that or it's just the Toys R us near us.
When I visited our local TRU a few weeks back there was a large range of Transformers products, the newly launched Kre-O range was positioned right at the entrance. Roll on a few weeks and they are no-where to be seen, their spot replaced by CARS.
A visit to the "boys toys" isle was one area of the previous Transformers stock replaced with Power Rangers, and the second area halved in space, with a Buy One get One Half Price offer on. There was also more Grimlock's then even Simon Furman would want.
I wondered around the store checking for signs of Kre-O's. Would they be in the Lego section .. no. Would they be in the discount section .. no. They were no-where.
So, have you spotted any Kre-O's in stores near you recently? Do you work for Toys R us can official comment on the situation. Let us know.
Automaton Toys has shared some interesting information regarding Tarkara's new Chronicle sets over on the Cybertron.CA forums. They report that the inner flaps of the Chronicle boxes reveal pictures of possible future Chronicle sets including Ratchet, Ironhide, Starscream and Shockwave.

A member of Seibertron.com has found an auction on TaoBao for an upcoming Knock Off Fortress Maximus. We know that KO Toys scrapped their plans due to costs.
An interesting auction has surfaced on TaoBao that hints at a possible third-party version of Fortress Maximus, or perhaps the rumored KO. The auction is labeled G-02 Titan and as you can see the silhouetted image mirrored below (which is actually based on an official image) is almost certainly supposed to be Fort Max.Â
Earth version of the giant Ford G-02 Titan (Titans) scheduled
G1 Japanese version uses giant Ford mold making, material color and size reduction ratio of 100% realistic
No official stamp, in addition to a large sword that contains all the accessories other than the new sticker
Quality is not to say, I bought here, great sword friend Earth version of the idea in mind
This product will be available first quarter 2012
Offer Price: 2450 yuan
Deposit: $ 50
Scheduled to have a good price ~!

ÂFullMetalHero.com have posted some images of what they are calling a non-official Masterpiece Blaster which look a lot like the FanToys Soundwave that was revealed earlier today.

TakaraTomy have updated their website with a new product listing for another recolour of the Disney Label Mickey Mouse toy. This time the toy is going to be repainted in red for Christmas. You can find the product listing here.

ACToys.net member oyloveq has posted an imaged of an upcoming third-party (unofficial) product called "DB2-01 Armored Saber" which is basically Victory Saber (the combined form of Star Saber and Victory Leo). No other info has been given about the product; including price, release date, or even what company is behind the design.

ÂSeibertron.com have received word that a 3rd party trailer may well be released to go with Botcon 2011 Motormaster. They have also been Âtold that an upgrade kit is in the works to combine the figures though no further details were given on that.
We have created three eBay auctions for some of our spare Botcon 2011 exclusive figures. All of the figures are sealed within their bags and start at cost price. The auctions are for Shattered Glass Galvatron,the Autotrooper 3-pack and Fisitron.Â.
If you are after the figures, why not check out the auctions. If you would like to see more images of the figures, then you can check out our image galleries of our personal copies below.

In an update on KOToys.com regarding a new knock-off Generation One Devastator Mike posted the following update when asked whether he had more information on their release.
"no, not sure about those, the guy who makes these is not very good at communication."
So it could be that those knock-offs have been delayed or maybe even cancelled. Either way you can find images of the boxes they would come in on that thread.

FullMetalHero.com are reporting an interesting rumour that a UK exclusive Transformers Dark of the Moon Leadfoot figure may be coming later in the year. According to Red Leader, "a well known UK high street wholesaler on Thursday indicate that the UK may be getting a Leadfoot figure in a limited capacity, no figure class details were revealed but the order quantity must be 5000 for the exclusivity and it may possibly be stocked by a high street chain well known for serving the UK with sci fi products, it is still an open offer so anyone can still bite. Go on TRU, you know you want to!"
This would certainly be an interesting and we will let you know if we hear any more
JustIToys has posted an updated on the Hybrid Style Snarl toy. Larger than the THS Transformers figures, the designs show a highly detailed, most likely articulated, Dinobot Snarl toy.
KO Toys have announced that the manufacturer of the planned knock off Fortress Maximus has confirmed the toy has been cancelled.
With an expected price point of 400 dollars, it is said they believe the issue was the cost.
