BBTS has posted Sunstreaker and Prowl as the next two Henkei figures. Previously these two pre-orders listings had been blank on their pre-order page with the place holder names C-07 & C-08.
Ages 3&Up reported in April that the two figures would be Sunstreaker and Prowl. However, uncertainity was created because BBTS and other retailers did not update their sites respectively. With this new updated information people should now feel confident with preordering these two figures from BBTS. These two figures are slated for a September release, which is a different release date as reported on other sites. Click here to see their listings:

I have the Hasbro versions preordered, I'll wait to see pictures of these to decide if they are worth getting instead.

Anyone want to take bets on what parts on them will be chromed?

Chrome arms for Sunstreaker and chrome shoulder cannons for Prowl. That’d be my guess.

Looking forward to photos so I can decide what to preorder.
Cost vs. Chrome, lol.

I have not seen any trace of the new Classics, I may just get the Henkei versions instead from an online toy store.

I'd like to see Sunstreaker's engines chromed,maybe Prowl's missiles too. The other thing Universe Prowl is lacking is the police badges on his shoulders so if the Henkei version had those I'd be more likely to get it.

Confirmed that there would be two more Henkei figures? Yes.
Prowl and Streaker? No.

Haven't FanToFan had a preorder for Henkei Sunstreaker up for a while now?

And you shouldn't until August. That's when the new UNIVERSE toys (not CLASSICS) are scheduled to make their first appearance.
The Henkei versions are following in October I believe

Besides, they are site sponsors, so they deserve press when we can give it to them.

Thats not a real reason. This news is clearly old. Since they are site sponsors... aren't their ads up all the time?

Not really anything to think about. They along with our other sponsors pay the bills.
AS Cyber Bishop said, it needs to be dropped.

I would have to see a colored picture to see if there is any difference between the Henkei and Hasbro versions. If there is no difference, I will stick with my Hasbro version, otherwise, I might change my BBTS preorder from Hasbro version to the Henkei version.

Paying bills and repeating old news are two different things! If this was about Big Bad Toystore was announcing the PREORDER I could see a point to this being actual news. This wasn't confirmed today it was confirmed months ago...

You want news out of this story, ok. How about this? BBTS.com shows these preorders being available in September 2008. Original reports or the preorder itself were posted as October 2008.
So add AVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBER and there you go. NEW news.

No, only the original poster can. Stormrider lives in Japan and is on a different time schedule. He'll change it tonight sometime, I'll let him know.

Boy you guys are a tougher crowd than when Michael Richards dropped the N-bomb.
In all fairness I do appreciate the heads up with the previous news. And I do appreciate the helpful and "pleasant" comments. In light of the various comments and questions -
Yes, Ages3&Up did have Sunstreaker & Prowl next to their listings for C-07 & C-08. That was an oversight. However, since there were blank names next to BBTS's listings for over a month it creates uncertainity among buyers. This news should act as a reminder and to help confirm previous claims. If you already knew this and felt confident with your preorders then you are a savvy bold Transformers fan! And gold stars will be given out later.
A couple things to keep in mind:
BBTS is one of our site sponsor, so we do cover new information on their site as soon as it is made available.
Yes, the release dates are different than described in previous stories. No confirmation can be given at this time.
Yes, I have updated the story to reflect the changes. Though the title will remain as a confirmation (see the reason why above).
If you have any questions or suggestions please send me a PM. For those of you who were understanding through this mix up - I appreciate your gentlemenly behavior. Tar and featherers will need to take a number and schedule an appointment with my secretary.
