Do you remember Death's Head? The 30-foot tall robotic bounty hunter was created by
Transformers godfather Simon Furman during his run in the Marvel UK series, and Geoff Senior's artistic touch. He was soon promoted to more than a one-off character and even got his own series in the late 80s, though reduced to a human-sized robot.
With Furman's blessing, writer Kieron Gillen brought the multi-dimensional mercenary back to Marvel comics, although always as a secondary character. Well, after showing up in the background of Marvel comics for the past year, Death's Head makes his full-on return in Gillen and Dale Eaglesham's latest
Iron Man comic, issue 9, and he's in his full size!
Back in 2012, Seibertron.com reported from the Toy Fair that
a new Marvel Universe figure of Death's Head had been announced by Hasbro - is this a good sign for its release?

New Transformers Prime "Beast Hunters" Voyager listings found? That's what the latest rumor making it's way around the internet would have us to believe. These listings are said to have come from Wal-Mart's computer system, and appear to reveal three previously unknown upcoming Voyager Class figures.
The first two listings seem to match up with Voyager Wave 1, Optimus Prime and Predaking.
TRA PRM BST OP -
Optimus Prime, pretty straight forward.
TRA PRM BST DR -
Predaing, the DR likely meaning dragon.
Things get more interesting when we examine the next three listings.
TRA PRM BST SHKW - Shockwave would make sense. He's a popular character, we know he will
appear in Season 3 "Beast Hunters", and Hasbro has yet to release him in toy form. Could be a situation similar to the recently revealed
"Beast Hunters" Deluxe Smokescreen.
TRA PRM BST UM - Ultra Magnus also seems likely. He's already received two figures in the previous "Robots in Disguise" line, he's currently appearing in the
Transformers Prime: Rage of the Dinobots miniseries which leads into Season 3, we already know he's going to get a
Weaponizer class figure in the "Beast Hunters" line. The question being would this figure be a new mold, or a spiky retool of his existing Voyager Class figure.
TRA PRM KNT TL - ?, speculate away on this one.
Keep in mind Toy Fair is less than a month away, so we won't have to wait too long to see if these listing are accurate.
Here are the listings as reported by Seibertron.com
