An ebay auction has turned up for what appears to be a testshot for Transformers Universe Stormcloud, the Decepticon recolour of Univese Powerglide. The colour scheme of the toy however is compeltely different, featuring black and purple, in what is basically more accurate to the original Micromaster Stormcloud. Were these the original planned colours, or is this the Transformers Henkei version of the toy?

Sharbric is back again on Yahoo Japan auctions with more of the Clear testshots from the Transformers Collectors Edition line, often referred to as Lunchtime Specials.
In addition to the Targetmaster Hot Rodimus auction you will now find Sideswipe, with hands and weapons from the clear Starscream toy (2nd mold) as well as a clear Matrix (from the later re-issue Convoy set). The second auction is for a clear Smokescreen with the same Starscream parts and Convoy hand.
This is the first time that we have seen a clear matrix, indicating that a clear version of Convoy was made for both the original and later releases in the Collectors Edition line.
You can see full image galleries of the clear Sideswipe, Smokescreen and Starscream (with Megatron gun) in our Transformers Toy Image Gallery.

Ebay recently saw two unlicenced Worlds Smallest Transformers toys sold, for quiet high prices, which were made as exclusive items for the Wonderfest 2008 convention which took place earlier in the year in Japan.
The figures were Springer and Goldbug, both new molds, both fully transformable, and both looking pretty nice (especially Springer).
