Digital-Toys.com have received some news from Japan of some new toys coming later this year from TakaraTomy.

C-09 Lamborghini
C-10 Streak
C-11 Ironhide
C-12 Ratchet
D-05 Octane

Cougars message reads
“The final data you purchased is encypted with this message. Feels like I had to take on half the Decepticon forces on Earth to get this, but a bot’s gotta get paid. I know Megatron’s desperate to stop me from sending this, but it’s going to take more than a dirty look to stop me when I get a contract! This thing looks an awful lot like Thundercracker, but hopefully it’ll put up more of a fight than that half-wit cake-baker.”
