Famitsu report that a Lucky Draw gold chromed Megadrive Megatron will be released by TakaraTomy in partnership with Sega.  The figure, which can be seen below, will be limited to just 5 pieces and is reportedly going to be a "made to order" item where in order to enter, you must complete a questionnaire that Sega are running.  The figure comes with a "Streets of Rage" cartridge rather than the Sonic game that comes with the standard release.

Finally, after all this time, we have a new gallery on Transformers At The Moon!!!  Yes you thought we were gone, you thought there was no reason to visit. boy you were wrong, we were just busy with moving - the result of which you'll seen soon.  Anyway all say a big WELCOME to our newest, and latest Lucky Draw Transformers toy gallery (not out latest Lucky Draw mind - hey, hey).

For our "Lucky Draw Magazine project" this and the confimation of Gold Big Convoy are two of the three holy grails.  We just have the colouring contest Beast Wars II to go.

As has become some what of a tradition here at Transformers At The Moon, January tends to bring Lucky Draw toys to this site and today the tradition continued as our latest Lucky Draw figure Transformers Animated Megatron Gold Version arrived from his long journey overseas.  This is the worlds first extensive look at this gold Megatron figure and follows on from our exclusive look at Transformers Animated Bumblebee Silver Version

You can also find the gallery on LuckyDrawTransformers.comthe worlds only site dedicated to the Japanese prize campaign figures known as Lucky Draws.

Whilst checking out the Megatron toy gallery, why not take a look at our galleries of the figures also shown within that gallery, Transformers Animated Bumblebee Silver Version and Transformers Animated Optimus Prime Gold Version

You may remember a month or so ago we announced news that Paramount Pictures published details of a gold deluxe Transformers Animated Megatron figure.  Well the page was pulled after four days of being online from their server and nothing was ever officially said again, that is until now as TakaraTomy have updated their own site with the same images and information on the competition which you can find here.

The toy will be officially limited to 1000 pieces, though like the Gold Animated Optimus Prime, more will be made

This is a hot of the press band new news story based on something that happened 12 years ago.  As part of yet another haul of back issues of TV Magazine we've managed to finally pick up documented proof of the Lucky Draw Beast Ware figures.  Previously only rumours have circulated regarding these, but now we haev full first hand proof of the toys, including images (though they are on yellow pages.

We can now confirm that in the March 1998 issue of TV Magazine the following Beast Wars prize draw figures took place.

1) 1x Gold Convoy + Gold Megatron
2) 6x Gold Convoys
3) 1x Gold Convoy, Gold Cheetas, Gold Rhinox, Gold Rattrap, Gold Dinobot

This is the first time that the Gold Beast Wars figures of Cheetor, Rhinox, Rattrap and Dinobot have been confirmed, as well as showing that 8 Gold Optimus Primals (Convoy's) were given out during a draw with only 1 Megatron (previously reported as limited to 3).

We will upload images to Lucky Draw Transformers and Transformers At The Moon in due course

Following on from their Lucky Draw Transformers Animated Optimus Prime Gold Version, TakaraTomy, Sega and Paramount Pictures are working together to produce the third Transformers Animated Lucky Draw figure (after Gold Prime and Silver Bumblebee) which will be a gold chrome delu­xe Megatron.

Much like the Optimus Prime before him, the figure will be officially limited to 1000 pieces with the prize campaign this time running between 1st November 2010 and the 16th Jan 2011.

To celebrate the 9th anniversary of the founding of Transformers At The Moon you will now find 3 new Transformers toy galleries in our Transformers toy section as well as an update on a Lucky Draw Transformers gallery with a figure which we now own.

The new galleries feature three out of the four new Transformers Binaltech toys (we've not photographed BT-22 Convoy yet), in the form of:-

• Transformers Binaltech - BT-19 - Bluestreak
• Transformers Binaltech - BT-20 - Argent Meister
• Transformers Binaltech - BT-21 - Arcee

In addition to these three new galleries, we are  very proud to bring to you a full image gallery of one of the older, and much rarer, Lucky Draw Transformers figures.  This toy has been owned by three collectors since it was first sold on  eBay a few years back (and we have tracked it ever since).

• Japanese Beast Wars Transformers - Gold Megatron (said to be limited to 3, probably limited to 10 in the world).
