Sightings are coming in to us via social media that the Beast Hunters Wave 4 deluxes are starting to become available at Tesco here within the UK.  The Wave four line-up includes the remoulds of Knock-out and Arcee as well as Vertebreak the repaint of Lazerback.  Check out your local Tescos stores today as there is also a sale on right now.

Our thanks go out to Neurie for tweeting us some images of the Predacon Rising figures he spotted in Tesco within the London area.  The toys have been sighted in other areas of the country for the last few weeks but it seems that their distribution is now starting to spread.

Neurie has also just confirmed that he has spotted the FoC Soundwave and Grimlock in Toys R Us as well within the London area.  In a related sighting, Pete Brown has also let us know that the same FoC figures have turned up within in the Poole Toys R Us, though we have also received report that they are yet to turn up within the Bristol area. If your area does not yet have them, do not worry, they are likely to start turning up soon.

latimes.com have the scoop on the SDCC exclusive Transformers figures which are bound to leave some fans disappointed.  This years offering see's three sets of figures.  The first is a tribute set to Generation 1 with a release of "Titan Guardians action figures" which are non-transformable versions of G1 Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave and Grimlock.  Think ActionMaster but with less articulation.  Next up is a Transformers Prime Beast Hunters offering in the form of "Shockwave's Lab".  The set consists of Shockwave a legends class transparent Predaking  and his "cloning chamber".  Finally, the third release is the figure which has been expected for some time in the form of Titan Class Metroplex with two guns and chromed legs.  Whether this release will be convince fans especially with the 3rd party Six-Gun set on the way remains to be seen.

Autobase Aichi have posted over 50 images of the Transformers Go! event which has taken place today at the Hiroshi Shinagawa Prince Hotel.  The event featured a toy display covering the Cybertron / Autobot leaders from the original Convoy (Optimus Prime) through to Transformers Go! (Beast Hunters) Optimus Prime.  Also shown at the event were the Alternity GT-R Convoy and Star Saber figures, leaflets promoting these two toys along with Fortress Maximus and Megatron from the same line and a GT-R Satefy Prime was also in attendance, or at least a cosplay.

Hydra, who currently works for Part One Ltd / e-Hobby, has posted some information regarding Transformers Go! over on The Allspark taken from the just released magazine information on the upcoming straight-to-dvd animated series.

"Well, looks like the information is legitimately out...

The magazine spread for Go! said that Optimus and co. had sealed Predaking [Dragotron] away inside the Earth using the artfact known as the "Legendisk,"
and left Earth to hunt down other Predacons who had spread throughout the galaxy. They entrusted the duty of hunting down the scattering of Predacons still on Earth to a team of six Autobots...

In that sense, it takes place after BH, but whether it will link up smoothly is anyone's guess.

Basically, the extent to swhich this mirrors Battlestars>OpCom is uncanny. Elite team of powerful Autobots, including Optimus Prime (and BH Op himself is very Star Convoy-ish already) leave Earth to do battle in space. Earth is left in the hands of small team of freely combining Autobots.

Coincidence? Almost certainly.

-Hydra"
