Transformers toy information specialist s250 has provided
TFW2005 with an image of a fully painted Optimus Prime figure from the War for Cybertron game. It's difficult to tell the scale of the figure, but most people seem to think it appears to be Deluxe Class. This figure doesn't look to be at it's final stage yet, so it may change between now and release.
This image looks very different from the
prototype we saw before. Is it possible we'll be seeing multiple figures? Or is this the new incarnation? Check out the image below!
More information on the War For Cybertron toyline will be provided as it becomes available.

Seibertron.com veteran and resident Cheesehead Fender Bender has just posted information on this year's Dairycon Exclusive's. Here's what he had to share:
First 2010 Dairycon Convention Exclusive Revealed!
Sources within Dairycon have just revealed artwork for the first of the 2010
exclusives:
None other than Uncle Whiskey Breath!
"In honor of Dairycon's 10th Anniversary, we've decided to reissue a
perennial Dairycon Classic- our very own Uncle Whiskey Breath. Uncle will
come with his usual assortment of accessories, as well as a few surprises,
all within our fantastic Dairycon packaging."
"In-addition, the second Dairycon character- that is, one that's been in the
stories, but never produced until now... is everyone's favorite Medic,
code-named Ticker."
These two characters are part of the 'Battle for Brew City' assortment,
slated for Dairycon 2010.
No word yet on whether these will be regular or limited raffle items.
One final tidbit: "There will be at least 3 more character reveals in the
coming weeks. One of which is expected... and one which will blow your
mind."
Looks great! Can't wait to see what they reveal next!
As always, you can PreRegister for Dairycon here:

Toy Hobby Market has updated Gentei Dark Skyfire's
product page with a handful of new images. While these pictures are of the small variety, it shows off Dark Skyfire in different lighting. It looks like the figure is more black than initially supposed. There also might be some chrome work on the figure. Check it out below.
Dark Skyfire will be released sometime in March. You can pre-order it off of valued site sponsor
RobotKingdom at a discounted price, or off any sponsor you see in the banners above and to the right.

Revision3's Tekzilla gives us a hint that Takara's Device Label might just be heading stateside in the future. Tekzilla reports from CES 2010, a major tech festival in Las Vegas, Nevada. Not much information is given apart from what we know about the toys, although it appears that
Toshiba might be behind this. That means we might be seeing Device Label Ravage, Tigatron, Grimlock and Trypticon in retail sometime soon. Unfortunately it looks like the rumored to be cancelled Blaster is staying that way. Check out the video
here, or embed in this news post below.

Third party
CrazyDevy offers another appendage that's aimed towards EZ Legends Class Devastator. For those who ever wanted to visually see the junk in toy form, you can now do that with this add-on. While being slightly inappropriate, it's quite movie accurate. Check out the ad below.
It will be released in March 2010.

BigBadToyStore has posted preorders for the first wave of the Japanese Transformers Animated figures, giving us the first images of these figures. These are promotional images, and thus may be enhanced with photoshop; however it seems that the figures may have a metallic paint finish applied, and Ironhide (US Bulkhead) seems to be a different shade of green.
Check out all the images by clicking on the following links:
Ironhide
Bumblebee
Optimus Prime
Starscream
Megatron
Prowl
Ratchet
These preorders have an estimated release in April.

Seibertron Energon Pub member Diem who resides in Japan, strikes again by giving us another exclusive personal view on Japanese Transformers toys.
This time he is reviewing the Japanese Kabaya Food Gum + Convoy Sets. He is kind enough to go through all 3 different figures for your pleasure reading.
I just picked up the Kabaya candy figures and thought I'd give people the verdict. So far I only opened and constructed G1 Convoy so far, but he's great! His parts were really easy to remove from the sprue and put together. Though he looked very tacky and plasticky to begin with, some kind of magic happened as I applied the stickers and he ended up really cute. He looks a little dodgy from the back, but then so does the full size figure.
His transformation is identical to the original except the forearms which have to be removed and reapplied, and his articulation consists of bending elbows and a rotating neck. His stickers were generally easy to apply but his face and headlights presented problems. I just quickly put him together at work but someone with a craft knife, a sticker tool and maybe some paint could do a better job.
Also, he comes with gum!
G1 Convoy pics:
And now for Henkei Convoy. This guy comes with a whole load of stickers and a whole load of parts. This meant he was pretty complex to put together, and not as much fun initially.
Overall, he's not as good as G1 Convoy. He's a severe partsformer (basically his arms and shoulders come off, split into three parts and get awkwardly reconfigured again), his head is (barely) held up by friction alone and his elbow articulation is nullified by his arm doors. Biggest complaint of all, the red of his stickers is a totally different shade to that of his plastic.
On the plus side, he looks okay in truck form, and fantastic in robot form. His legs rotate at the hips, and his arms at the shoulders and slightly at the elbows. Also his head can turn when it isn't faling down. His canopy can be stored on his back or held as a sort of shield.
Sorry about the crappy pictures.
Now for Star Saber.
Starsaber is (pun only slightly intended) definitely star of the show. Despite being based on a larger figure than the others, the boisterous bulkiness of post-Season 3 Japanese toys works to its advantage.
His robot mode looks absolutely fantastic! He's pretty well articulated with shoulders, elbows, a turning head and hips that don't swing but do splay. He can hold his sword or stow on on his back and his head is made up of no less than five seperate pieces. He looks good even before the stickers are applied and when they are applied; he's awesome.
There are a couple of downsides. His stickers are incredibly fiddly, to the point where a magnifying glass and some tiny tools might help apply them (I used his sword, which is why his eyes and cockpit are a little wonky). Also his jet (?) mode is good, but the sword across the back looks a little awkward and his head jutting up looks downright odd. Also he has the same red issue as Henkei Convoy, although this only really applies to the crest on his head.
So that's my thoughts on the three. For $3 figures, they're amazing, though my recommendation relies on how much they cost you to import and how much you want them. Also it depends on whether you are prepared to take the time to carefully construct them and maybe even paint them. G1 Convoy would be fantastic for collectors of Prime, or for those who just want a mini Prime, Star Saber is fantastic in his own right, and Henkei Convoy...didn't impress me too much.
Stay tuned to Seibertron, Number 1 Transformers fan site in the world.

The back of the box shows the cross-sell EZ figures. Expect these to hit Japanese store shelves soon!
