Chinese fansite, The-Arker, has posted some new images of Electrostatic Soundwave and Freeway Jazz in packaging.  The images also include their bio's which read as:

Electrostatic Soundwave
After a couple of years working alongside Laserbeak, Soundwave realized it was time for a change. His new partner, Ratbat, lets him lay down multiple tracks of sound at a time, creating frequencies that can do more than just control other robots. Now, Soundwave is into straight-up mind control. Using complex synch beats he can make people - and even the Autobots - do whatever he wants.

Freeway Jazz
With Decepticon activity at its peak near the galaxy rim, rumors begin to circulate that Earth may be getting more evil visitors as well. In anticipation of incoming Decepticons, Autobot Jazz goes undercover, inmersing himself in Earth culture where he hides in plain site. He can enjoy the sights and sound of Earth while planning the perfect moment to strike.

Entertainment Earth is reporting that the , Transformers Animated Deluxe Wave 7 is due for release in December 2009 in the US / Canada.  The toys include Electrostatic Soundwave (the black repaint) and Freeway Jazz (grey repaint).

KOToys.com have provided new images of an upcoming Transformers Animated Bulkhead recolour which you can find within the Toy Images sub-section of Bulkheads area on TransformersAnimated.com

Good news for Transformers Animated fans as Transformers Animated Fireblast Grimlock, the Animated Activiators recolour, has now been released within the US.  TFW2005.com board member Articwave spotted the figure on sale at his local Stop & Shop store

Jim Sorenson has stopped by The Allspark with some exciting news for fellow Transformers Animated fans.  Here is what The Allspark reports "It seems that himself, Bill Forster, Derrick Wyatt and Marty Isenberg are all on board for a second volume of the Allspark Almanac book, should the first book sell well enough. Additionally, Marty Isenberg is also eager to write a "Season 4" for Animated that could be released in comic book form.

So what do you need to do to help get these made? Here's what Jim Sorenson has to say:
The best strategy is to buy one for yourself, advocate to people who might be interested, and above all make some noise. Let IDW and Hasbro know that you like the book by posting on their forum or publishing an amazon review - preferably both. Bill and I (and Marty and Derrick) are super-keen to do the follow-up volume and finish out season 3. I know Marty is itching to do a virtual season 4 in comic book form too. Right now, TPTB will be looking at this volume as a bellwether."

If you are a fan of Transformers Animated and can get to Burbank California on Saturday the 22nd August then you'll be very pleased to hear that a Allspark Almanac signing will be taking place between 2 and 3pm at the Emeral Knights, 4116 W Burbank Blvd, Burbank, CA 91505.  You can ring then on (818) 588-3631.  The authors of the book Jim Sorenson and Bill Foster will be on hand along with Derrick Wyatt himself.
