DragonX76 of TFans has posted a list of possible future Binaltech figures including some new moulds and some very welcome repiants. He writes:

GC-23 "MEGA" Convoy 5,800 Yen, End of September. The 5th & last Convoy to appear.

BT-17 "SKIZZ/SKIDZ" Feat. Toyota Bb 5,000 Yen, End of November. Toyota's first car to appear in the Binaltech series. All six doors are reproduced.

Binaltech Asterisk (*) Series
A 1/24 scale woman figure is included with this new Transformer.

Transformers Binaltech Asterisk "BROADBLAST/BROADCLAST/BROADCAST" Feat. Toyota Bb meets "LUMINA" 5,500 Yen, End of November
Covered Vehicle (Van) includes Female Announcer Figure.

Transformers Binaltech Asterisk Sunstreaker Feat. Dodge Viper GTS meets "JUNCO/JUNKO" 5,500 Yen, End of September
Race Car includeds Race Queen Figure

Transformers Binaltech Asterisk Alert Feat. Subaru Imprezza WRX Prefecture Police meets "*" 5,500 Yen, End of September
Patrol car includes Police Woman Figure

DragonX76 is known for being pretty reliable with this stuff so these figures may really happen!

UPDATE: This has been backed up by Zinc Panic who have posted this little piece of news concerning the 'Asterisk' Series:

more curious is the BinalTech Asterisk Series. "Alert featuring the WRX Prefecture Police meets Asterisk." Asterisk is a female cop. "Sunstreaker featuring the Viper GTS meets Junko." Junko is a racing queen. This means something a little different in Japan than it might in the US. Think "track bunny". "Broadcast featuring Toyota Bb meets Rumina." Rumina is a quick-to-the-scene news reporter. Will they keep a gun in their purse? Ships in September, September, and November, respectively.

[Update: An early fax suggested the girls might be Microman-based figures, but later info backs off that notion.]

So will we be seeing female Binaltechs or just Binaltechs with female Microman drivers? I'm more inclined to believe the later.
