eBay seller psikyo1974cw has posted two auctions for new some Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys which were previously unseen.  The toys are recolours of the Transformers Movie Voyager Starscream figure in the colour schemes of Generation One Skywarp and Generation One Ramjet.  The auctions can been found here for Ramjet and here for Skywarp.  Only the jet mode has been shown thus far, so we can not say whether the toy uses the original Starscream head or the remoulded head on Movie Thundercracker.

FrenzyRumble has put another customised Masterpiece combiner toy on ebay, following up his auctions for Devastator and Menasor.  This time FrenzyRumble has created Masterpiece Defensor using the molds for Fire Convoy (RID Optimus Prime) as HotSpot, Armada Sideways as Groove, Classics Prowl as Streetwise), Cybertron Evac as Blades and Energon Towline as Firstaid (a bit like BotCon Ratchet).

The toy stands an impressive 18 inches, 47 cms, and is said to have over 50 points of articulation.  The auction includes a nice gallery which we'll look to mirror once the auction has ended, so you'll be able to appreciate the toy in the future as well.

Even if you're not interested in bidding it's well worth having a look at this auction even if it's just to get some ideas for yourself.

Higekuma Toy Toy Blog has been updated with images both in and out of packaging of Transformers Henkei Cheetas (Transformers Universe Cheetor) and Transformers Henkei Hound.

Yizhi has posted the first images over at TF08.net showing the Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen Movie Legends Optimus Prime toy combined with the Jetfire toy.

Since this image contains spoilers regarding the movie you will need to scroll down to see the mirrored images

These images follow up from the auctions that Yizhi placed on ebay yesterday for the ROTF Optimus Prime and confirm previous rumours about the figures.  Quiet how the figure will compare to the full size versions remains to be seen

A scan has been posted online from the February issue of the Japanese hobby magazine Dengeki Hobby.  The two page scan contains new images of both Masterpiece Grimlock as well as Alternity Megatron.  The Grimlock images show off two of the gimmick, the mind transfer unit from "Grimlocks new brain" and that the Autobot symbol on his chest can be rotated for a black version.

The Alternity Megatron images are of the prototype of the figure and give the best indication of how the final toy will look.

Update:

The Allspark's Hydra Darkwings has translated some other images of the MP Grimlock toy to reveal that he will no longer come with the crown accessory that was seen in previous images of the Grimlock Prototype.

Digital Toys have started put up some new pre-orders for two new upcoming Transformers Henkei April 2009 releases in C-20 Red Alert and C-21 Smokescreen.  They have also received some images of the figures which can be seen below.

A few more interesting Transformers auctions have appeared on ebay including several Transformers testshots, listed as Transformers prototypes, and Transformers Hardcopies.

The auctions are for a hardcopy Transformers Movie Scorponok figure, a testshot of the Japaneses G1 Killbision toy, and an auction for a testshot of G1 Fortress Maximus along with a testshot of Sixshot and an all black Ramjet (previously seen on ebay).

eToysHunter is currently selling a few knock-off silver chrome Transformers Henkei Convoy toys on ebay.  The toys are now being sold pretty cheap, and if like us, you like the figure in the all silver colour scheme, although understand it's non-official status, then you may be interested in the auction.

Don't worry, we won't be bidding against you, we've already got one on the way.

Seibertron.com are reporting on an interview win which Hasbro's Transformers Universe designer, Bill Rawley, revealed a few details about the future of the Universe Line in Toyfare #138 (the February 2009 issue).

Mr Rawley reveals that Hasbro are already thinking of bringing back Universe after the film, probably to help fill the gap to the next movie, and are looking at Soundwave and Rhinox to possibly feature in the series.

TF08.net have confirmed our rumour that the recolour of Transformers Universe Silverbolt is indeed meant to be a Transformers Universe Darkwing figure.

A robot mode image of the toy is now available on their site.

TF08.net have come through again with yet another sneak peek into the future of the Transformers toy line with images of the Transformers Universe Countdown figure.

Countdown is a recolour of Transformers Galaxy Force: Cybertron Defense Team Red Alert, in a colour scheme loosley based on the Generation One Micromaster Countdown - a theme which seems to be fairly popular with Hasbro in the new Universe line.
