The price of the toy is listed as "undecided" but with a current release date of June. Its reported that the figure will be made with Stainless steel parts and is described as a car-robot item manufactured by Shehorp.
There were packaged photographs of the Transformers Alternity GT-R Convoy (red version) as well as more images of the Fairlady Z Megatron prototype.
The Disney Label Transformers Mickey Mouse (coloured version) was once again shown as was Masterpiece Grimlock who was photographed wearing an apron and bow tie.
For Transformers Henkei fans, Ratchet was once again shown as having a feb 2009 release day, with the first image of the Japanese release of Inferno (for Figure King) being published. There are comparison images between the Henkei and Transformers Classics Ratchet version shown in the issue. Transformers Henkei Hot Shot, Dinobot and the Minicon set are all announced as having a March 2009 release, with the photographs showing the US versions rather than the Japanese re-colours.
The Transformers Encore: "Cassette Masterpiece War Volume 1" set is introduced in the Magazine. Figure King list the set as containing Lazerbeak rather than Buzzsaw who was originally reported as being in the set.
