The fan says that the store he aquired them from gets test shots like this fairly often. Hopefully I´ll have some pics up soon. These may just be more knockoffs, but the pictures do show them with Decepticon logo on them.

Straight from Newsarama: "So, you think that December’s Transformers Profiles Book I is just your run of the mill encyclopedia in the same format as dozens of other “encyclopedia” books? Wrong. Simply put, the four volumes of Transformers Profiles will officially establish a new continuity for the Transformers, free of key points that were specific to the animated series, the Marvel series, and the movie. When all is said and done, Dreamwave will have its own, independent Transformers continuity." Read the full article HERE to find out all of the details about the Transformers "transformed" history.
