Entertainment Earth has some new biographies on their site for upcoming Animated and Universe figures.

Atomic Lugnut

* Fancy evil colors!
* Bigtime action and excitement with these out-of-this-world figures!
* From the hit Cartoon Network series.

What Lugnut lacks in brains, he makes up for in strength and loyalty. His mega-punch can kill anything, plus he's able to get from anywhere to anywhere in seconds with his speedy bomber mode. This powerful plane transforms into Decepticon warrior and back again, and he'll crush anyone or anything in pursuit of the AllSpark for Megatron. Don't turn your back on this guy!

Roadbuster Ultra Magnus

* Now in minty green flavor!
* Bigtime action and excitement with these out-of-this-world figures!
* From the hit Cartoon Network series.

The supreme leader of all Autobots is here, now in a green and yellow color! What's more, now he's got the time to deal with your problems. As the head of the Cybertron Elite Guard, he's not afraid to get his hands dirty, even if some of his men won't touch these strange, fleshy creatures called "humans." Anything that crosses his path is going to have to face his incredible power and mighty hammer! In robot mode, Ultra Magnus measures over 10-inches tall and is ready to lay waste to any forces who dare oppose him. He features electronic lights and sounds, too!

Universe Inferno

* Big fire truck becomes an awesome robot!
* He's here to save the day!
* Hose shoots plastic "water" missile!

Make way for the Autobot fire department! One of Cybertron's finest, Inferno is here to help put a stop to fires caused by Decepticons. His cannon shoots out water (actually plastic) blasts, plus he's specially armored to be able to survive intense heat. (Just ask his girlfriend, Firestar.) Bring home this warrior for good today!

Universe Vector Prime

* An emissary of Primus!
* Includes Mini-Con partner!
* Awesome sword!

One of the heralds of Primus is here! Based on his numerous appearances in comics and cartoons, Vector Prime is one tough character. Transforming from an intergalactic space ship to a robot and back again, this 10-inch tall warrior doesn't go into battle alone. His companion Safeguard changes from a tiny starfighter to a robot, and can even become an arm-mounted weapon for Vector Prime! Relive the battle between good and evil with this awesome Autobot!

This smells fishy. Didn't we have rumored bios from here written by an employee?

"minty GFreen" :???:

Yeah, now that I have had a chance to read them, sounds like someone may be having a bit of fun with us.

Thanks IM.

You two are onto it. I doubt some or all of this is real. Roadbuster Magnus is green and brown... Minty green? And why would Universe Vector Prime's box say "Awesome Sword!" on it? Sounds cheesy to me... Most of that sounds ridiculously silly. I bet someone IS having us on. Let's play along for now so we can beat them to it at the end if you know what I mean.

When I see the figures and watch the storyline I will make my mind up on how these work.

OK...employeee made for sure. At what point does Inferno's bio EVER say he shoots water?

What do you know? Roadbuster UM can even be... edible!

Inferno has a girlfriend named Firestar? Where did they get this?

Someone must be playing with us, or it's a poorly done translation cross checked through five languages before being put into english.

Rather inappropriate for Animated UM.

Ha, freaking hilarious! Good to know some people have a sense of humour... surprised everyone is taking so seriously.

But I'm just in an extra good mood at the prospect of getting my hands on an MP Grimlock next year.

They're more like product descriptions than bios anyway, like the ones on Hasbro's site.

In an episode of the G1 Cartoon, when all of the Fembots are introduced on Cybertron, Inferno see's his old girlfriend Firestar.

Forgot the name/number of the episode, but I believe it's in season 2.

I see. I didn't see that one. Why would a robot have girlfriend?

Since the male bots overwhelmingly outnumbers the very few female bots, how would the vast majority find mates?

It's not a pairing to ensure survival of the species. They do not reproduce. It simply is the pairing of people of very like minds presented as a relationship that we are used to seeing, but it does not mean that if you don't have a pair you lose. You simply hang out with other bots of a similar mind frame, or date outside the species like PGide, and Sspray did.

So yeah, it's purpose is comradery, not to explore other notions...
