Kaijubot X of the Transfandom boards has posted the following information about Lee's Toy Reveiw #148:

Issue #148 of Lee's Toy Review features a cover story on Cybertron and Starscream, the version with the crown that had surfaced on the net. It is a very brief article with info from TF brand marketing director Greg Lombardo. Starscream is the only Cybertron toy pictured. The highlights:

-Pics include Starscream robot, alt-mode, close-up of face, weapons, and 2 Cyber Planet Keys.
-There will be a show, but no specifics on network, date of premiere, etc.
-Toys will see a summer release
-No actual size is given for Starscream, although it is confirmed that basic through supreme sizes will return.
-The force chips will be called Cyber Planet Keys.
-The plot of the series is that the Autobots and Decepticons are on a scavenger hunt to find all the Cyber Planet Keys due to an Energon crisis on Cybertron.
-Names of the first wave were given, altough there were no corresponding sizes or price points. Initial wave will feature:
--Optimus Prime
--Megatron
--Jetfire
--Scourge
--Crumplezone
--Vector Prime
--Hot Shot
--Dirt Boss
--Thundercracker
--Landmine
--Overhaul
--Ransack
--Scattorshot

Those are the highlights. I won't be scanning any interiors of the magazine since publishers frown on such things, but here's the cover so you can find it at your local newstand or collectors' shop.
