eBay seller Toy Arena has placed a listing for the first batch of 500 fake all clear Generation One Optimus Prime toys. Though the toy is similar to the clear testshot / "lunchtime special" that we own, it is different as even the tyres have been replaced as clear. You can find images below and click here to view the auction. Unlike many other sites, we link directly to the ebay auction, not via a commission proxy.

Thanks to Rich for confirming a few details regarding the Transformers items that will be listed in the new Argos Catalogue that is released this coming Saturday, Jan 19th 2008. Rich has confirmed that there are no Transformers Animated figures or Masterpiece Starscream in the catalogue, both of which were only ever an outside chance. He has confirmed that most of the figures are Transformers Movie toys.
