Courtesy of HK-TF member oscarfung we can share with you an in-hand look at the upcoming Kre-O Micro Changer Combiner Defensor set. The Defensor Micro Changer Combiner is a part of the second wave of Micro Changer Combiners and gives us Kreons of Hot Spot, Streetwise, Blades and First Aid (with Groove in the second blind-bagged assortment completing the team). The four small Kreons switch between robot and vehicle forms, or can be combined into a single, larger robot. Check out these images to see what they look like in hand, along with a fan combination which incorporates Groove into the design as well.

Here are a few extra pics from Saturday. The pics feature a Transformers Prime Talking Bumblebee and a Beast Hunters Optimus Prime in green. Both are repaints of the Weaponizer Bumblebee and Weaponizer Optimus Prime figures. These figures differ from the original versions(aside from color) since Optimus Prime now comes with a sword similar to the Ultimate Optimus release. Meanwhile Bumblebee has a talking feature and comes with his Eagle Hunter bow. EDIT: Bumblebee also features a new head sculpt which shows his mouth. Thus far is the is the only screen accurate Beast Hunters Bumblebee figure.

Read on to check out the images.

Actress Sophia Myles had a chat with the Press Association regarding Transformers 4. Of course she was tight-lipped about the content of the upcoming movie by director Michael Bay, but never-the-less mentioned who she is working with; further confirming her role as an assistant to Stanley Tucci as the rumor suggests.

"We've been on it for a couple of months now. It's so exciting and so thrilling. I love working with the whole cast and Michael Bay is just an incredible director. I feel so privileged, I'm still pinching myself," she said.

"We're still shooting right now. We've been all over the world: we've been in Detroit, Chicago, Washington, Texas and a lot of it in Hong Kong and maybe parts in China."

"I haven't actually worked with Mark yet but I have lunch with him and his entourage whenever we're on set. They're the most hilarious people I've ever met," she continued.

"A lot of my work is with Stanley Tucci and he's just so funny. He's so talented and I have to not laugh at him being incredible, and that's one of the hardest things I've had to do on the film."

"I think it's going to be even better than the last ones and they were pretty great," she said, adding: "We've all been sworn to secrecy. I'd love to tell you more but I can't."

Scans from the August 2013 edition of Figure King magazine have surfaced via a Japanese image board. This month's issue of the Japanese Hobby magazine focuses on the August releases from Takara-Tomy, including Transformers Go! Hunter Ratchet, who in addition to featuring a movie inspired deco seems to have been rebranded as a Decepticon. Predacons Budora and Goradora (Grimwing and Abominus redecos) are also featured, as is the second member of the Shinobi team, Hishomaru. Generations gets a strong showing, with August releases Springer and Blitzwing shown, October releases Gold Bumblebee and the Trailcutter & Hoist two-pack, and a little guy named Metroplex who is getting released in Japan in September.
