BigBadToyStore.com has some new interesting listings on their website. Apparently, there are going to be several MP3 related devices that will soon be released featuring G1 Convoy (Optimus Prime) and G1 Soundwave! The best part of all: they're transformable!

--------------------------------------

Convoy iPod Docking Bay with Speakers

Two iconic products have merged to create the new Convoy iPod Docking Bay! Convoy is presented in an entirely white iPod color scheme and fully functional iPod Docking Bay with Speakers. This product is fully licensed by Apple. The trailer holds two speakers and all standard size iPods will mount in the center of the trailer to play your favorite tunes (iPod not included of course). Please note that the iPod Shuffle will not work with this product. An AC adapter cord is also included. Convoy himself will be the same size as the G1 mold and a brand new Convoy head mold has been used.

Product Number: TAK10694
Shipping Weight: 4.20 pounds



--------------------------------------

Soundwave MP3 Player - White & Blue

An inventive combination of exciting products, the new Soundwave MP3 player features an all new character mold and fully functional integrated digital music player! Soundwave is available in two colors, the traditional blue color scheme and also an all white color scheme in honor of the iPod. Soundwave's cassette door opens to reveal a Mini SD card reader (Mini SD card is not included). Batteries are requierd, but not included, we are currently not sure what size batteries are required. More information about this cool new MP3 player will be posted as we receive it. Takara requires us to buy equal amounts of each color, so be sure to grab your favorite or save $15 and get both together. The MP3 player will function in both cassette mode and robot mode. We expect this figure to be slightly smaller than the G1 Soundwave so it can fit comfortably in your pocket.

Product Number: TAK10697
Shipping Weight: 2.80 pounds

Popular ebay seller eptoys71 has an auction up for what seems to be a toddlers version of The Transformers Movie Optimus Prime. It looks fairly simple in it's design, basic pull back and let it go functioning. Much like the Battle Chargers and Throttle bots of yester year, it seems this Optimus "flips up" when it is wound up and let loose.

Toys "R" Us UK has updated their webite with a new Transformers product listing, that is not so new. It is a listing for Transformers Energon Optimus Prime and Megatron 2 pack. This may be the set that was released in the United States and Japan during Energon's run. An image of Energon Optimus Prime is shown, but not Megatron. However, it could be something different based on the product description:

"Transform these cool robots to a vehicle and back or make mini robot figures. Contains Optimus and Megatron. Optimus breaks down into four figures while Megatron transforms to a cool truck. Colours and styles may vary."
