A member of ACToys.net has posted a gallery of one of TakaraTomy’s upcoming Henkei releases, Ramjet. As you can see from the pictures, the figure will have chrome tailfins, thrusters and the cockpit interior, as well as a different paint scheme on the wings and slightly altered details elsewhere. Both modes are shown.
TFW2005.com member Cheem The Rup has provided two scans from the August edition of Hyper Hobby 8 Magazine, which has pictures of some new Transformers toys from TakaraTomy. Shown are Henkei! Henkei! Sunstreaker and Prowl (with the Universe versions as well), Encore Mini-bots, Encore Skywarp and Thundercracker set, Binaltech Optimus Prime, E-Hobby exclusive Guardian Robot and more.
Automaster of TFW2005, who works at Wal*Mart, has posted some details of some new Transformers: Animated figures listed in the Wal*Mart computers.
Found are Voyagers Shockwave, Skywarp and Wreck-Gar, and Deluxes Blurr, Swindle, Waspinator and Arcee. There is also a Deluxe called Electro Static S, but not much is known about this figure. If Hasbro are involved (which they are), it’s bound to be a repaint.
