According to TFW2005.com, they have been informed the Target listing for a Prime vs. Megatron 2-pack is actually not the upcoming Primal vs. Megatron Beast Wars anniversary 2-pack, but instead a classic G1 looking Prime with more articulation and a green tank Megatron that will come with a dvd called “Battle Through the Ages’. Both figures will be packaged in vehicle form. It is not clear if this will be a Target exclusive or not just yet.

Their sources have also revealed that the reissue of 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime will actually be a repaint without the battle damage, in addition to having long smoke stacks. Packaged with the figure will be a dvd with the original animated Transformers: The Movie

[EDIT – Crazy: Hasbro has stated that 20th Prime will have SHORT smoke stacks. Long smoke stacks was apparently incorrect information. Interestingly though, they did not say anything else was incorrect. ]

Multiple sources are reporting that the first teaser trailer will be available online July 4th, 2006 on the movie’s website. Three days later a trailer will get a theatrical release with Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man’s Chest.

Botcon.com has revealed yet another addition to the convention exclusive set of pre-beast wars figures. This time Rhinox gets to strut his stuff as a repainted Cybertron Landmine.

From the site:

Here is the very first look at RHINOX in his pre-beast form
from the 2006 BotCon Figure Set! A Maximal who knows much
about his Autobot Ancestors, Rhinox values the ideals they fought
for and wears their sigil on his chest as a constant reminder of this.
His color scheme is based on the Anniversary Rhinox seen recently
at retail.

 

Waspinator has been added to the ever growing list of Beast Wars cast members getting a revamp for BotCon 2006.
Waspinator appears to be a revamp of a Machine Wars Skywarp, with details and coloring based of the recent 10th Anniversary Waspinator figure. These shots are provided by ebay seller SPX Toys by way of TFW2005.

Just in cased you missed them, look at Cheetor, Dinobot, Optimus Primal, and Rattrap.

Maz from TF-1.com has put up a gallery for the upcoming Astrotrain. It does a good job of showing off how he trainsformers and all of his modes, even a comparison with G1 Astrotrain.

Target computers have updates with price points and release dates for Transformers Classics.
Deluxe figures will come at $12.99 instead of $9.99, while Voyagers (Optimus Prime & Megatron) are still $19.99. They’re scheduled to hit stores the last week of July, so expect them to be everywhere by the end of August.

I don’t condone any 3 dollar price hike, but I think its fair considering how quality the line looks. Thanks Mouth!
And since Bumblebee was glossed over during the original announcements, have a look at him and others in box:

Ok, TransFans. You know what to look for, you know what it looks like, you know how much it will be, and you know when to get it. What more could you ask for? How about Grimlock:

Botcon.com has revealed the third figure in their exclusive set for this year’s convention, Cheetor. Cheetor appears as a repaint of Cybertron Clocker. He is sporting a brand new head sculpt and color scheme that matches the 10th anniversary figure currently available in stores.
