3 more toy galleries have been added today for your viewing pleasure. Follow the links to view Animated toys Autobot Ratchet, Voyager Class Bulkhead, Leader Class Bulkhead and Leader Class Megatron and Universe Classic Onslaught.

TFW2005.com member GenZhao has taken a large set of photos of Transformers Universe Treadbolt. In the gallery is the figure in the final colour scheme with photos of both jet and robot modes, showing the figure at many different angles.

The figure is a repaint of Classics Jetfire, released in early 2007.

Two auctions on Ebay have some new photos of Transformers Universe Springer. The first shows 4 photos of the robot and helicopter modes in what looks like a finished paint scheme, will another 2 photos in the second auction.

Springer is a voyager size figure that will only be available in the Target exclusive Standoff Beneath the Streets - Springer V Ratbat set.

Hasbro UK have updated their online toy store with the first wave deluxe figures of the Transformers: Universe line. Listed are Prowl, Sunstreaker and Tankor, each for the high price of £12.99. To put this in context, this equates to roughly $25 each, compared to $9.99 in the USA.

All can be bought now, are should be in other stores very soon.

TFcon have updated their website with news that the first waves of the Transformers: Universe will be available at the convention, which takes place on 21st June.

The bulletin lists the toys as “not yet hit mass retail anywhere in the world”, which is slightly incorrect, as the first wave legend figures are being sold in the UK right now.

June 14th - Transformers Universe figures will be available at TFcon Toronto next weekend. While Universe has not yet hit mass retail anywhere in the world we are pleased to be able to announce that there will be Transformers Universe figures available for sale at TFcon on June 21st. On a side note we’d like to remind our American guests, a passport is only required if you are flying into Canada. Americans driving into Canada DO NOT need a passport to cross in either direction. Visitors may be asked to verify citizenship and should therefore carry any one of the following documents: birth certificate, naturalization certificate, Green Card or passport. Photo identification is also required so visitors should carry their driver’s license or other photo ID with them.

With the first wave of Transformers: Animated figures being released last month, it seemed that the release dates of May and August for the Animated and Universe lines were true, but Hasbro UK has done something different and decide to release the first Transformers: Universe toys in the UK now.

Perceptor has found Transformers: Universe Legends Starscream, Onslaught and Red Alert, all wave 1 figures.

Also of note is that he has spotted some of the wave 5 Transformers movie voyager figures, Incinerator and First Strike Prime. Expect to see them and Evac and Off Road Ironhide very soon.
