More images of the new version of Sci-Fi Revoltech Optimus Prime have surfaced on the Candymam Rakutan Store and made their way to you via Snakas' blog. These new images show it's not just the Jetwings flight pack that is new with this second version of Movie Optimus Prime in the Revoltech line - he also comes with his gigantic axe with which he ended the existence of Megatron for good (or at least until Transformers 4).

We've also got a new magazine scan of Sci-Fi Revoltect Optimus Prime by way of 2005 Boards member tot_kit, which you can also view attached to this story.

Do you want extra fixings for Transformers Fall Of Cybertron? How about a Fall Of Cybertron G1 Retro Pack, featuring some weapons from the old cartoons, items for customization in multiplayer, and arguably, most importantly, a skin for G1 Optimus Prime! IGN has posted a video featuring some rather fitting music in a scene reminiscent of the 1986 movie:

Dr Wu's TP-07 looks set to be an extra accessory for Transformers Prime Breakdown - more specifically a show-accurate hammer to replace the Arms Micron's Rhinohammer accessory. The small gallery posted also includes a CAD image of the Polarity Gauntlet from the episode Metal Attraction, which may either be a part of the same set or another upcoming project.

Crazy Devy have announced their next upgrade package for the vintage Generation 1 combiner groups. For release #33 they are revisiting Piranacon. Having already overcompensated him with larger guns and a larger sword, their latest update provides a new and bigger piece of waist armor, boasting "no more skinny waist". Granted, the waist armor's larger size also means the combined mode needs to be transformed a little differently to incorporate the legs...

It's set to be one of their cheaper releases at $11.95 and due for release next month. Please note that this enhancement is an unofficial upgrade package and is not endorsed by Hasbro or Takara-Tomy.

AC Toys has uploaded a nice gallery of the upcoming Asia Exclusive/Toys R Us Exclusive Voyager Powerdive. This first reuse of the Hunt For the Decepticons Highbrow mold gets a Decepticon deco this time and features a new head with a retractable visor. While the figure slightly resembles the Generations 2 Rotor Force figure Ransack, he is actually named after the other Decepticon Rotor Force member. He also features a nifty shark deco.

Check out the pics after the break!
