Thanks to Seibertron.com for pointing out another Transformers Movie Scout toy auction on Taobao, this time for Storm Surge, a repaint of the Transformers Cybertron Shortround
TRANSFORMERS® Movie Scout: STORM SURGEâ„¢
STORM SURGE is so named because of his all-encompassing approach to
combat. Allies and opponents alike rarely leave a fight in which he is
involved without being soaked in corrosive salt acid, or bathed in
jellied gasoline. During fights at sea, the water around him erupts
constantly into geysers as his depth charges roll indiscriminately into
the ocean. On land, he sprays the area around him with emitters housed
on his arms, figuring that the more destructive power he puts out, the
more likely it is he’ll take out his AUTOBOT® enemies.

Asian auction site TaoBao is featuring a new auction for a Target Exclusive Transformers Movie Basic Crosshairs toy, this time showing the bio of the character.
Armorer
and Weapons Master for the Autobots, Crosshairs is used to dealing with
some of the most dangerous technology in the galaxy. Long use has
taught him to be painstakingly methodical, but has also caused him to
be so entrenched in his systematic organizational methods that no other
Autobot could hope to find anything in the vast armory on Cybertron.
Crosshairs is so careful that he will not issue a weapon unless the
requester fills out forms detailing--in triplecate--his need.
Thanks to TFW2005 for pointing it out!

During a press conference to highlight the release of their new RD-A301
HD-DVD player in Japan, Toshiba revealed an exclusive Voyager-class
Starscream recolured toy, called Starscream Vardia Red Model. The figure sports red and gold paint
decos and can be obtained with purchase of the player (retailing at 100,000 Yen).
Expect to see the figure for sale on Auction sites, Yahoo Japan, Ebay, Taobao, a short time after (and possibly before) the release of the HD-DVD machine.


You've probably seen some pictures of this boxset before, as well as potentially seeing the TFormers gallery of Battle Damage Optimus Prime, but you may not have seen this images before.
This is of the Transformers Movie 3-pack set of Starscream, Battle Damage Optimus Prime and Battle Damage Arcee.
Appologies for not resizig the images.
