Remember BotCon takes place next week

Robotkingdom have posted a collection of in-package images of Transformers Generations Voyager Sandstorm figure who is a retooled and repainted version of the previously released Voyager Springer toy.  The images, wich can be viewed below, also show his bio which is as follows:

SANDSTORM lives for action. His only real fear is a fear of boredom. As a result, he takes unnecessary risks, both in combat and out - risks that can sometimes threaten the success of his missions. He lives fast, loud, and dangerously - traits that make him fun to hang out with most of the time. But his fellow AUTOBOTS are getting a little sick of his habit of giving away his position to the DECEPTICONS just so he has the opportunity to enjoy a fight.

Transformers facebook page briefly posted a couple of images the upcoming Transformers Generations Voyager Class Sandstorm! They were quickly taken down, but Seibertron.com member Vectorshot managed to grab the images

Sandstorm is a remold of the Generations Springer figure.

Autobase Aichi has updated with a couple of images of new Transformers Dark Of The Moon  Human Alliance Toys. The first is a repaint of Human Alliance Sandstorm, ?resembling a lunar rover coming with a NEST driver wearing a space suit.  The second is a Formula 1 car which is either the Human Alliance figure previously announced on a TakaraTomy Product list, or a new toy.  The colour scheme is quiet Dragstrip like.  Click for larger images.

If you are within the UK or Europe and you look out of your window right now you will probably notice that its bright and sunny outside.  As such that can only mean one thing .... the continuation of our Spring / Summer Special of updates.

Following on from our last set of updates, the paint-samples of two of the Brainmasters, it is with great pleasure that I bring to you today another piece of European history, a FEP (Final Engineering Pilot) of Transformers Generation One Classics Sandstorm.  The image gallery contains comparisons with both the original release of the figure as well as the final gold box "classics" version (which had the black plastic feet that were painted and different colour stickers).  The early testshot Sandstorm is made from a milky white plastic and was purchased from the former head of Hasbro Europe.

Enjoy!

Three previously unseen Transformers Universe recolours appeared recently on eBay. The auctions have now ended but the listings can still be seen. The auctions were for Universe Whirl, Universe Sandstorm and Optimus Prime.
