The latest issue of Japan´s famous ´Figure King´ magazine has some interesting pictures of never-before-seen Transformers. Well, that´s not entirely accurate, they´ve been seen before in G2, but they sure weren´t painted like this!

Hero Optimus Prime has been repainted into Scourge (Not Black Convoy, Scourge. It has Decepticon logos)

Hero Megatron has been painted...yellow. Not as cool as Scourge, but not terrible. These are store exclusives but are in the ´USA Edition´ line. A US release for these is quite possible.

Check out the picture of these upcoming releases.

Thanks to Matt, who inquired about Hasbro UK´s plans to carry the Hasbro reissues, we find out "... the UK tends to run 6-12 months behind that of the US. Hasbro UK is committed to building the Transformers brand here in the UK and has the intention of running ALL the US developed lines, so Transformers fans will be able to get the toys in due course. Many UK retailers share Hasbro´s enthusiasm for the Transformers range and over the coming months more product will become available nationwide."
