TFW2005.com member DrillBit has posted some images of more upcoming Japanese exclusive figures. The first is an image of the Tokyo Toy Show exclusives which are a repaint of the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen NEST Mindwipe and Skystalker figures into Generation Two Dreadwind and Smokescreen along with a Transformers Animated exclusive white repaint of Prowl who is called Elite Guard Prowl. Prowl will cost 2,500 yen and Dreadwing / Smokescreen will be 5,500yen. The figures will be available at the TakaraTomy booth on the 17th and 18th July as well as having a limited number available on e-Hobby. Like other exclusives of a similar vein, the figures will be limited to a few thousand.
Next is an image of another "Welcome to Transformers 2010" figure that will be sold as a Toy Hobby Market exclusive. The figure is Primus and is a recolour of the Transformers Cybertron / Galaxy Force Primus figure. No word yet on whether the figure will be limited to 2010 pieces like Sleep Mode Convoy (whÂo was also limited to 2 pieces per person) or whether he will be produced in higher quantities with an unlimited amount like the Unicron figure (both of these figures will be available in limited quantities from Transformers At The Moon so we may also offer the Primus figure as well). Primus is out in October and costs 9,450yen.

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.
Derrick Wyatt, Art Director/Lead Character Designer for Transformers Animated, has posted some images on his blog showing some of the design concepts that he used for Transformers Animated Prowl prior to settling on the final design. As well as the images Derrick reveals that it has already been decided that Prowl would be a motorbike before he came on-board with the series, that he had originally had him coloured more like the black and white G1
version, but since Ratchet was already going to be primarily white, and the
ninja aspect of the new Prowl's character was going to be played up, they
decided to go with the black, gold and tan theme. Derrick also mentions that Eric Siebenaler from Hasbro and Alex Kubalski from Takara requested that they move Prowl's wheels from his shoulders to his legs as it helped blend his design with "a really amazing transformation idea"
that Alex had been working on for a motorcycle Transformer.
If you look closely on the image you will see that it is dated 2003, giving you some indication of when the work on Transformers Animated first began.
