First4Figures has contacted us for some sneak peaks of some of their products next year. These products are not only Transformers, but very interesting.
The sneak peaks contain some silhouettes of a Beast Wars Optimus Primal bust, Beast Wars Dinobot bust and a statue of Generation One Ravage with the Baroness.

Don Figueroa has acquired the bios for the upcoming Cybertron toys Defense Hot Shot and Scattorshot. We already have seen the bio for Hot Shot, on his packaging. Don has posted them over at
TFW2005.
Hotshot
HOTSHOT isn't psyched to give up his modified racer mode and the speed that went with it, but in the service of CYBERTRON, any sacrifice is worthwhile to him. his adventures on the Speed Planet taught him that speed is'nt everything- true victory can only be won through the combination of wits, reflexes and when it comes doewn to it, the right weaponry. his new, heavily armed modes pack enough firepower to keep most enemies at bay, but if they get close enough, HOT SHOT is more than happy to show them the sword fighting techniques he learned from BRAKEDOWN back on the Speed Planet
Strength: 8.5
Intelligence: 8
Speed: 7
Endurance: 7
Rank: 8.5
Courage: 10
Fireblast: 9.5
Skill: 9
Scattorshot
SCATTORSHOT has proven himself a hero during the campaign on Earth, and his newfound confidence manifests itself in his redesigned robot and vehicle modes. he is perfectly addapted to the harsh conditions he will find on CYBERTRON. it's surface is cracked and tossed into jagged rubble by the horrible gravity of the black hole, and it is infested with dangerous TERRORCONS, mutant robots programmed only for destruction. SCATTORSHOT still worries about bad luck but he now believes that enough firepower can overcome even all the bad luck in the Universe.

Japanese Transformers site
Fan2Fan have updated their website with some new pics of upcoming Transfomers releases:
1. Within a week,
Pepsi Convoy will be released! (note the Decepticon/Destron pizza in the left corner)
Here are some pics of Pepsi Convoy's box and trailer.
2. Being released in late February is Galaxy Force C-00
Primus!
3. Also being introduced is a somewhat new line: "The Beast Wars Reborn". Reissued are Beast Convoy and Beast Megatron, seen
here. These are not just reissues, these figures will come with new molds for the faces and show accurate coloring! According to their source these will be released in December, but Fan2Fan think this will be later, perhaps next year.
4. A March release,
T.H.S.-02 Hybrid Style G1 Convoy! Along with that pic, there's this
pic showing the different accessories and features. Finally, a pic of it's
design by "Kawamori S." .

Tformers.com recently acquired the bio's for the upcoming toys named Sky Shadow (Jetfire repaint) and Wing Saber.
Watch out, because Wing Saber's bio may contain spoilers!
Sky Shadow
An often-overlooked observer who prefers to remain in the background, silent and unnoticed. Few who know SKY SHADOW fully appreciate how dangerous he is. Even among his DECEPTICON® fellows, SKY SHADOW doesn’t quite fit in. While most other DECEPTICONS® prefer to bully, boast and plot against one another, he waits, watching, collecting information and laying his plans until he is certain of victory over his enemies. For in reality he is the AUTOBOT® second-in-command JETFIREâ„¢! Tired of his passive role as commander of the AUTOBOT earth forces, he has gone underground and taken on a new identity in an attempt to bring down the DECEPTICONS from inside.
Detailed robot figure changes to jet vehicle and back again and has electronic lights and sounds! Jet mode features flip-up rocket boosters and hidden rockets!
Wing Saber
WING SABER formed a close bond with OPTIMUS PRIME® during the POWERLINX BATTLESâ„¢. Their friendship was forged in the treacherous interior of the unconscious UNICRON®, when they first combined to form the powerful Sonic Wing mode. Though he is a canny warrior with a keen tactical mind and wisdom beyond his years, he is still eager to prove himself to OPTIMUS PRIME and the other AUTOBOTS®. As one of the few AUTOBOTS with a warp system capable of interstellar flight without the use of a space bridge, he is often assigned duties as a lone flanker, attacking enemy positions from behind. With weapons systems and armor to rival the most legendary warriors of CYBERTRONâ„¢, he is more than up to the task!
Detailed robot figure changes to jet vehicle and back again and has electronic lights and air combat sounds! Jet mode features hidden heavy blaster cannons and a hyperdrive ram-scoop, as well as removable rocket launchers with firing projectiles!
-----------------------------------------------------
As you notice, there are no hints towards Wing Saber having swords. In combination with it's packaging, this means he might not come with these swords.

BBTS VINTAGE DEPARTMENT HIRING - MINNEAPOLIS & WESTERN WISCONSIN

We are expanding our vintage department and are looking for people with a passion for action figures. The main focus of these positions is sorting, grading and listing action figures, both vintage and modern, on our website. We are looking for individuals who are self motivated, responsible, organized, and have a good basic knowledge of action figures (and are willing to learn a lot more) Hourly wage is $10+, more depending on experience and qualifications.
If you live within a reasonable daily driving range of Somerset, Wisconsin 54025 and want to work in an exciting and growing company, please email us back to set up an interview. -- Thanks! Joel
