Seibertron member formula93 follows up his previous Toys"R"Us Masterpiece Thundercracker retail sighting with some nice in-hand images of the figure. As you can see Thundercracker features some interesting homages which include G1 Reflector on each bicep with the words "Say Cheese", a silhouette of of himself holding G1 Soundwave on his shoulder with the word "SONICBOOM" on his tail fins, and a reference to Hasbro designer Joe "Bid Daddy" Kyde just under the cockpit canopy.

Here are a few pics of TC, albeit on my crappy phone camera. You'll notice in the pic with the green circle, there was a stress mark on that tab straight out of the package. It connects the arm to the wing in plane mode. Might want to be careful. I figured everybody knows the scale of this mold, so there aren't any of those pics. Also, if you can't make it out, he has what amounts to an arm tatto on each bicep that has a picture of G1 Reflector, and the words "Say Cheese." Pretty neat touch. The sidewinder missiles are included, but I don't think there's anywhere to store them in jet mode, as his null ray blasters are now permanently mounted to his arm. The two face gimmick is absent, but the instructions still refer to it, as they're the same for the old MP Seeker figs. They also don't refer to the new heels, which are a FANTASTIC addition. I finally have a seeker that can stand on his own!

­­Seibertro­n.com have published three news stories containing images from a recent Japanese garage kit show.  The first mirrors images that were originally published on TFC Toys weibo page that shows i­mages of a previously unannounced third-party Hearts of Steel: Starscream figure. Normally MasterMind Creations are the company that fans associate with Hearts of Steel products but this new figure is from D.I. Studio.  You can view a copy of some of the images at the bottom of this news story. >

The second story contained i­mages and information from the  TEKMEN weibo page which showed some news images of a Super-Deformed Convoy (Optimus Prime) figure that, despite his proportions, appears to be able to transform, albeit by taking him apart and rebuilding the vehicle mode.  The figure comes complete with a trailer, accessories and multiple hands.

Michael Bay has posted a comment on his message board regarding the ShoWest footage he recently posted online.

The Showest footage was pulled down because it was just a 12-hour thing.

I just wanted the fans to get a taste of what we have been making for a year and a half because we have been so quiet. The piece was cut about a month ago for this Showest thing I accepted this past month - so as you can see many of the shots were far from being finished renders. This dinky little site received over 1,500,000 hits and 550,000 downloads in this short time. Anyway the trailer is being printed today and coming out on Wolverine and Star Trek. 64 days left!
