It’s just been discovered that there’s some new Classics protos over at the Japanese patents office. It’s a bit of a hassle getting through their site, so I’ve mirrored the images here. They’ve also updated with Prime and Starscream, but it’s nothing new. In additon ebay seller SPY_Toys has Classics Grimlock for sale.

Continue on for a mirrored gallery of these 3 highly anticipated Classics.

A new shot of the Grunty looking Bumblebee has shown up on the net. Click on the thumbnail to view the whole thing.

Two more hilarious videos!

And in case you missed The Rude Awakening of Optimus Prime, here it is.

There was a lot of Transformers news in the past few days that we passed over, so I wanted to do a quick round up of some of the things we missed in case you missed it too.

First off, the lenticular cover art was revealed for the 20th Anniversary release of The Transformers: The Movie. That can be seen here. Its a large animated gif, so it may take a minute to load. Magnus seems to have gotten the shaft on this one.

The Hartmans’ shared some images of a ‘few’ items they will be bringing with them to Botcon to be sold. The Hartmans’ have what is generally believed to be the most complete collection of Transformers and have stated that it will be on sale at Botcon. The images can be seen here on the 2005 boards. The wall of American carded figures alone leaves me speechless.

Registration letters and events schedules should be arriving in the mail for those who have pre-registered for Botcon.

An image of an upcoming 2-pack in the Classics line surfaced. It features a repaint of Prime as Ultra Magnus and Starscream as Skywarp. The package indicates it will be a Target Exclusive.

The peoples at e-Hobby have listed Rodimus on their site, with a very nice collection of pictures showing his all the new features that he comes with. Check out this boner-riffic repaint below.

In an effort to do more around here, I’m going to start posting any cool customs I see on the net, and once in a while, put up some stuff I have in my files, which is pretty expansive (200+ MBs in size).

So I’ll start off with Freestyle’s Deluxe Primus. Hit the links for the full gallery.

AICN has posted three images of Optimus Prime from the upcoming Transformers Movie coming in 2007. I have mirrored them below after the jump. These images are much clearer than the images that surfaced several weeks ago.

ACtoys has posted some pics of proto which is presumed to be Ravage. If you look closely at the underside picture, you can see his head and some paws, which probably means he’s going to be a Jaguar car that transforms into a jaguar. Follow the link for the thread or click on our mirrored pics here.
