TFYuki has been busy on Twitter over the last week posting up grey prototype images of the Transformers Unite Warriors Technobots.

Following on from the Prototype Transformers Fall of Cybertron Starscream figure shown off on ACToys, another purple and green testshot has seen the light of day, this time it's Transformers Fall of Cybertron Kickback

You will find a new addition to our Transformers Toy Gallery area in the form of a Transformers Generation One�White Prototype of Octane.

The figure, made entirely of white plastic has 36 images in it's gallery.

eBay seller Heerostoyhamker has listed an interesting auction for what he refers to as a Generation One Optimus Prime prototype testshot.

The figure is actually a testshot, not a prototype, and isn't a Generation One mold rather one of the newer reissues of Convoy.� The toy features the head which was designed for the Transformers Music Label Convoy figures.

Heerostoymaker (aka TinTinHappy and various other names) has placed an auction on ebay for his latest clear/chrome figure.  This time its a clear Transformers Henkei Convoy but with some chrome gold parts.  The figure is not a lucky draw figure nor will it ever been officially released.  This origianl toy was made in the TakaraTomy factories and was then later chromed over. It is not an official Transformers item and can be put into the same category as our recently posted all gold chrome Big Convoy and Silver chrome Big Convoy with blue parts.

If you are intested in bidding on the auction or would like to see the images, you can find them here.

hla2009tf2009 has listed an auction for a Clear Generation One Ramjet toy (actually a clear Reissue or Encore figure) which matches the Transformers Lunchtime Specials, or clear testshots, which were all the rage a few years ago.

The auction includes some great images and we believe this is the first time the Clear G1 Ramjet figure has appeared for auction and includes eToysHunter's watermarked images.

The account has no feedback, so this could be a new account for eToysHunter .. or it could be a fake auction, though we've not personally seen those pictures before.

EDIT:

We've also just noticed that GoldPrime is selling his boxed Collectors Edition Clear Soundwave figure on ebay as well.� If you want to see more images of the Clear Soundwave then take a look at the one we own.

We received several emails after putting out Transformers toy gallery of the unreleased Transformers Universe Smokesceen figure online last year, asking us to let those people know if another one came up for sale.� Well today we've spotted an auction for both the Transformers Universe Smokescreen as well as Drench - so the complete Battle in a Box set.

The auction isn't cheap, but offers you the chance to get this really nice unreleased figure as well as Drench.

Part three of our January "Build-up to BotCon" features a hand painted sample of the unreleased BotCon Wreckers Rotorbolt figure.

Rotorbolt was a repaint of the Beast Machines Vehicon Obsidian toy, but was never intended to be issued as a convention exclusive. This was handpainted by a former lead deco artist from Hasbro and is the exact toy pictured on the BotCon Web site at http://www.botcon.com/archive/story/characters/catalog.html.

We've updated out previously small (2 images) gallery of the currently unreleased BotCon Wreckers Alpha Trion toy with 44 more images.

The gallery now comprises of the only full image gallery of this toy on the web, as it features the hand painted sample made for 3H, and never put into full production.

The timing of the gallery is perfect, with the BotCon 2009 toys believed to be comprised of the remaining BotCon Wrecker team, of which Alpha Trion was their leader.

Alpha Trion is featured along side Beast Machines Snarl and an all white testshot of Beast Machines Snarl (of which Hasbro put the legs on backwards).

Thanks to Senuseret for providing more images of what is listed as an unreleased G1 Triple Changer, but has been identified as one of the unreleased Transformers / GI-Joe Crossover figures (thanks to Ras and Doubleclouder for that).

�EDIT: 13:53 - updated with corrected information.� Thanks to Nevermore for supplying the link to ToyArchive for more images of the figure.

As a Christmas present to all the visitors to Transformers At The Moon we've uploaded a new Transformers toy gallery to the site.� The new gallery is of the Transformers Henkei Chrome Silver Convoy figure, a few of which have recently appeared on ebay.

A few more interesting Transformers auctions have appeared on ebay including several Transformers testshots, listed as Transformers prototypes, and Transformers Hardcopies.

The auctions are for a hardcopy Transformers Movie Scorponok figure, a testshot of the Japaneses G1 Killbision toy, and an auction for a testshot of G1 Fortress Maximus along with a testshot of Sixshot and an all black Ramjet (previously seen on ebay).

Earlier this year we started what we called our "Lucky Draw Research Project". This mini-project involved us trying to track down any and all hard evidence relating to the Takara Japanese Exclusive campaign prize draw Transformers figures known as Lucky Draw toys.

The project, which we had technically started several years ago with online research, involved us spending quiet a bit of time and an awful lot of money to buy back issues of various Japanese toy , TV and collectors magazines. There were a few issues to get over with the research.

• Language barrier - though our Japanese is far better than it used to be thanks to some lessons a few years ago
• Lack of online information, other than on the Lucky Draw Transformers website
• Age - the magazines we were after date back to 1997, with some issues required from 1987/1988.
  
• Range of magazines - the magazines, which are released monthly included TV Boy, TV Magazine, Hyper Hobby Magazine and Comic BonBon (that's over 10 years worth of 4 magazines, at 12 magazines a year), which works out at 480 magazines.

Anyway we bought over 150 magazines over a month and had them shipped into the UK (which was a whole new story) where we had to sort through them, document the information and then scan each of the magazines for evidence. We decided to scan any and every page which featured Transformers on them, as well as a few other series which we liked such as Microman.

Anyway the first batch of updates are now available on Transformers At The Moon in our In The Media section. The new galleries include Lucky Draw Transformers toys, Transformers protype and testshot toys, a Beast Wars II manga and much more. The Issues also include the Hyper Hobby magazine which featured the Black Rodimus Convoy toy currently on eBay:-
