Zona Hobby has a pre-order for MP Grimlock with new images showing his detail, articulation, accessories and size. It is said that this figure will be around the same size as the MP Starscream mold. Actually disregard that as it looks a lot more like being as tall as MP Prime.

Accessories include:
Crown
Drinks tray
Energon sword
IQ- swapping device
Blaster



See the pre-order here.

TakaraTomy has updated its Transformers website with three new entries.

The Music Label page has been updated with the previously seen red/orange “Exile” version of Optimus Prime. Don’t feel alone if you’re not up on your J-Pop trends and haven't heard of Exile. Exile is a Japanese boy band that has had a few recent hits. Their current tour is titled “Exile – Perfect Year 2008”. Like the previous Music Label Transformers, this figure works with iPods and iPod Nanos. This figure will be released in November.





On the Events & Campaign page official pictures have been added for Black Megatron & Sunstorm. Both figures are eHobby exclusives and will be released in February 2009.

It has finally happened. Japan is getting the last of the Seekers for a complete set of six. It also appears that Takara went the extra mile with these two releases, as Henkei Dirge features G1 accurate wings rather than just a simple repaint of Ramjet like the Botcon release.

Silhouette images of both Dirge and Thrust are now listed on Gambo Store.com.

Toy Hobby Market also has the silhouette of Dirge on its page. It is unknown, but likely, if these two releases are store exclusives like Thundercracker and Skywarp.

Pre-orders for both begin November 13th and will begin shipping in March of 2009.

We will update when more information becomes available.

Whether you like cute small toys, or even cuter small toys, you should be happy with the most recent sightings.

Transformers Activators Street Patrol Bumblebee, and Thundercracker are beginning to make their way into stores.

Also, the new 2nd Wave of Robot Heroes which includes Blaster Vs. Trust, BW Megatron Vs. Silverbolt, and Ironhide Vs. Kickback is starting to be spotted as well.

The Arcee Vs. Rumble, and Rhinox Vs. Waspinator, and Optimus Primal Vs. Tarantulas are also being reported being found with the newer Robot Heroes in some places. These 3 sets, while released a few months ago, have been seen in very small amounts only so far.
