The US HasbroToyShop has been updated with several Transformers Animated and Transformers Universe features, profiles and images.
Bumper Battlers Night Watch Optimus Prime
If he has to fight OPTIMUS PRIME prefers to do it out in the open, and
to keep it fair. He's wise enough to know that the DECEPTICONS don't
feel the same way, so he uses his special night mode that lets him
sneak up on the bad guys without being seen.
Gear up for on-the-go fun with this stealth truck vehicle! Press
the robot down for vehicle mode or press the bumper and watch the robot
pop right up! With fun electronic battle and speech sounds, this
quick-conversion AUTOBOT leader is ready to roll out
Bumper Battlers Sting Racer Bumblebee
Racing into danger at top speed, BUMBLEBEE blasts electric stingers at
every bad guy he sees. He may be the smallest member of the AUTOBOT
crew, but he's also the fastest, and his stingers pack enough punch to
put down almost any bad guy!
Gear up for on-the-go fun with this streetcar racer vehicle! Press
the robot down for vehicle mode or press the bumper and watch the robot
pop right up! With fun electronic battle and speech sounds, this
quick-conversion AUTOBOT character is ready to roll out!
Swindle
SWINDLE is a one-robot black market. He's only a DECEPTICON by default,
since they're the ones who most often take advantage of his unbeatable
deals on armor, weapons and combat systems. If it shoots, explodes, or
focuses light into a beam intense enough to melt high-grade armor,
SWINDLE will sell it to anyone. Anyone who can pay his price, that is.
Most of his inventory, he scavenges from those who fall in battle, but
he doesn't mind helping a crippled AUTOBOT all the way to the scrap
heap before stripping him of his weapons.
Universe Legends Beachcomber
Team up with the AUTOBOT alliance and take on DECEPTICON forces! This
quick conversion figure is ready for action and prepared for whatever
adventure is in store! Battle even the mightiest opponents in robot
mode and then convert the figure to dune buggy vehicle mode and roll
out!
Meanwhile TFW2005 have received some stock images and informatin of two other Transformers Animated toys.
Skywarp
Name: Skywarp
Faction: Decepticons
Function: Fearful Super Pilot
Motto: They're heading right for us! Run!
Bio: Fearful Super Pilot
SKYWARP wouldnt call himself a coward. He'd call himself smart. So what
if he runs away from combat? Fighting is dangerous! All those missiles
and lasers could really hurt someone! As a clone of STARSCREAM, he's
got all the power in and skill of the leader of the DECEPTICON air
forces, but none of the courage or ambition. He could easily be one of
the most dangerous DECEPTICONS of all time, but since he screams and
runs away the second a shot is fired, he's mostly just a joke.
Galactic Powers and Abilities:
- Gets shot in the back more than any other DECEPTICON
- Uses his teleportation ability to run away faster
- Even just seeing a picture of MEGATRON gives him nightmares
Shockwave / Longarm
Name: Shockwave
Faction: Decepticons
Motto: Secrets are the foundation of power.
Bio:
SHOCKWAVE is the ultimate spy. Able to change his voice, energy
signature, and even his appearance at will, he has spent years
infiltrating the AUTOBOT power structure. Graduating near the top of
the class from the AUTOBOT Academy, he moved through the ranks of the
Elite Guard, eventually becoming head of the Intelligence Division. Not
once did anyone suspect the bright, friendly AUTOBOT known as LONGARM
of being a devious enemy spy.
* Expert code breaker and thief.
* Enjoys blackmailing AUTOBOTS in positions of power.
* Stole his AUTOBOT identity from old historical files.
The stock images can be seen below

Derrick Wyatt has updated his blog with a preview images of some of the Transformers Animated characters which should make an appear in the cartoon series in Seasons 2 and 3.
The images appear to be off Swindle, Jetstorm, Wreck-Gar, Skywarp, Shockwave, Mixmaster, Blurr, Jetfire and Thundercracker.
Derrick also added
"About Gurren Lagann: No, actually. I hadn't seen Gurren Lagann until
after we had finished most of the first season of TFA. I wish I had,
because I would have had the Headmaster robot transform with stubby
little legs. And maybe Masterson's head popping up out of the top of
the robot."
and
"About the inspiration and influences on TFA: I'm always inspired by
Gainax's designs. They are by far my favorite animation studio in the
world. I just hadn't seen anything on Gurren Lagann when we started
TFA. We've definitely been inspired by that and Diebuster since. Prowl
and Soundwave's glasses are a nod to 2000 AD's ABC Warriors. That and
Mighty Orbots were the biggest influences on the designs.
As
for Shockwave: There is a reason for his color change, but I can't
explain that now. I do hope to get him repainted to his normal colors
somewhere down the road. "
as well as
"About the Seekers: You go right ahead and dream, you never know what could happen.
Mumbo:
I DID design the Amazing Mumbo, he was my favorite character from
Titans. If you scroll way back through this blog you will find some
drawings of him. Good times! Same thing with the Transformers sketches,
there are some a few posts down from this one. I am always doodling
other characters I want to put in the show. Some may even show up!
Curse
you Bigbot.com for your daily ebay rarities! (J/K!) I have to look
through those things obsessively every day, and I can never afford them!"

Many thanks to Sidekicker for confirming that the Transformers Classics two pack of Skywarp and Ultra Magnus is now out in the UK!
The classics Magnus and Skywarp 2-pack has been listed on the Woolworths site for months as unavailable but I checked on wednesday and it was in stock at just £14.99. I ordered it and picked it up from the Woolworths in Bradford yesterday. Bargain! I'm guessing this means it will be hitting shelves soon, possible as a Woolworths exclusive.

Seibertron have a report that Woolworths have updated their website with a new Transformers product listing, that of Transformers Classics 2-pack Skywarp vs Ultra Magnus!
Woolworths
has the set listed on their website for £29.99. However, the listing
does not show the correct figures. View the listing for yourself by
clicking here.
There's no news on when the figures will be released though, as it's assumed this is simply a pre-sale advertising at the moment.
