An auction on ebay claims to be a prototype for an unreleased Universe figure by Hasbro, called Menasor. The figure was meant to be a repaint of Machine Wars Optimus Prime. The colours were never applied to the toy but art was designed for the figure, which gives an idea of the paint scheme.

Forum member Perceptor has spotted some of the Transformers movie Allspark Battle Legend 2 packs at his local Tesco store. Sighted were Nightwatch Prime vs Stealth Starscream (Wave 2) and Decepticon Brawl vs Rescue Ratchet (Wave 1) for £5.97 each.
