The Arker has some images of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Leader Class Megatron in packaging.  The figure closely resembles that of the leaked image of Megatron from several months ago.

Thanks to Snakas for reporting on his site that Mamegyorai.co.jp have updated their site with two new listings and images for the Alternity Megatron figures.  The listings can be viewed here and here with the images mirrored below.

The owner of Kapow Toys Red Leader has posted some information over at TFW2005 regarding some UK Transformers Animated released that will be hitting the shelves in the next few months.  The figures are Roadbuster Ultra Magnus, Shadow Blade Megatron along side the Season 3 character Safeguard (Jetfire and Jetstorm).  Red Leader should have a firmer release date today and will be placing their pre-order shortly.  This confirmed what we reported on the weekend regarding Shadow Blade Megatron being in the new Argos catalogue

Sadly the UK Transformers brand manager from 2007-2008 is no longer employed by Hasbro so we are trying to get in touch with her replacement to try to find out more.

ModxToy.com have published some scans of the February issue of Hyper Hobby Magazine (issue 94).  The scans show more colour images of Transformers Masterpiece Grimlock as well as Transformers Alternity Megatron (unpainted sample), the Transformers Disney Label Mono-chrome Mickey Mouse as well as some images of Transformers Henkei Inferno, Ratchet and Cyclonus.  Due to the slow nature of the website, we have mirrored the images below.

Kapow Toys have posted over on TFW2005 that the upcoming Transformers Animated 2-packs of Optimus Prime and Blackarachnia and Megatron and Prowl, will both be Walmart exclusives in the US.  Both Prime and Megatron will still be the battle damaged versions.  Also they report that Shockwave and Skywarp are set to ship at the end of October / start of November within the US.

Here is the text from the back of the box of the two double packs.

The Revenge of Blackarachnia

Long ago Optimus Prime was forced to abandon Blackarachnia in the caverns beneath the surface of an alien world. There she found herself surrounded by a terrifying horde of bizarre spiders and she was forced to reformat herself based on the strange organism to survive. The experience twisted her and drove her away from the autobots and left her with an undying desire for revenge on the former ally who left her to her fate. She has come to earth in search of Optimus Prime and she will not stop until she has destroyed him and everything he holds dear.

Battle In Space

In Space over a strange alien world Megatron carves his way through the hull of the autobot spaceship with his fusion cannon. Inside Prowl and his fellow autobots wait, knowing there is very little chance of defeating the Decepticon leader in a fight. Prowl knows his only chance is through stealth and skill. When it comes time to meet the mighty Megatron in combat he relies on his holographic projectors and speed to avoid being hit whilst tagging his opponent with every combat technique he knows. Unfortunately even his most powerful attacks bounce off the invincible armour of the Decepticon tyrant.

SGCollect member Sparkplug has posted over on their message board that he received confirmation the Masterpiece Grimlock will be released in March 2009 in Japan at a cost of 130,000 Yen.  He then later posted that Alternity Megatron will be released in two colours (blue and silver) with the car based on the Nissan Fairlady Z.

Treat both as rumours at this stage, but no doubt more will follow in the coming weeks.

TFW2005.com member Red Leader has posted an image and information of some Transformers Animated 2-packs, containing two carded bubble-pack toys  The Transformers Animated toys in the stock list which he received were Prowl and Megatron (Cybertronian Mode) in one set and Blackarachnia and Optimus Prime (Earth Mode) in the second set.
