eBay seller and forum member starwarsprotos is continuing to drop rare and unreleased items on eBay, and there are some goodies up right now and ending soon. The one of major interest is a clear, boxed, Beast Wars Transmetal Optimus Primal. Clear "test shots" or "lunch time specials" really picked up in the 2000's with Takara's G1 reissues, so seeing a pure clear Beast Wars figure from the 90s is indeed rare. Paperwork from the factory to a former Hasbro employee is shown and included. Check out all the pics for this and his other auctions below!

• PROTOTYPE Transformers Beast Wars OPTIMUS PRIMAL
• UNRELEASED Transformers Generation 2 G2 AUTOLAUCHER
• UNRELEASED Transformers Generation AUTOJETTER
• UNRELEASED Transformers Protectobot GROOVE
• UNRELEASED Transformers Generation 2 Megatron Combat Hero
• UNRELEASED Transformers Generation 2 Optimus Prime Combat Hero

We know, we know… this is a conversation that is happening almost all the time. But is Michael Bay really handing over the Transformers Movies to a new Director this time? During an interview with USA Today, the director; whose latest Transformers movie made $1 Billion at the Box-Office, hinted that he is moving ahead with new projects.

This is what USA Today has to say…

Bay is delving further into TV with both Last Ship and Starz's Black Sails, which kicked off in January and has filmed its second season. The hands-on producer keeps track of multiple projects from his high-tech screening room in.

"Literally, it looks like NASA mission control,'' he says. "I am always loaded with what's going on. I like to keep my eyes on everything."

The Bay streak continues with the horror film Ouija (out Oct. 24)and sci-fi thriller Project Almanac (Jan. 30, 2015), both of which he produced, and he's working on another undisclosed TV project. Bay, 49, believes he will pass the baton for future Transformer movies to a new director while he turns his focus elsewhere.

"There's kind of a new chapter, a new direction in movies I want to make," says Bay, who is eyeing a passion project, a documentary on elephant poaching. "I have a lot of stories to tell. And it's about flexing new muscles."

Recently, Paramount extended their deal with Michael Bay for another 3 years. But we do not know what role he will play in future Transformers movies.

Thanks to cybergeeks Alliance on Facebook for supplying fans with scans from TF Generations Volume 2 featuring new images of MP22 Ultra Magnus and MP23 Star Saber. Now, we've seen final colored images of Magnus and many prototype images of Star Saber, but these new images delve deeper into the exciting features in these toys. First up is Star Saber, who now has confirmation that he will indeed have his Brainmaster functionality! Not only that, but the Brain of Courage can even ride in Saber's cockpit!

Next, is MP22 Ultra Magnus and his new pictures not only give us a close up view of the cab on it's own from various angles, but also gives us a full turn around view of Ultra Magnus in robot mode. There is also comparison images of Magnus with Masterpiece Rodimus and various other Masterpiece Autobots in vehicle mode. Now, the best part, a detailed photo set of Masterpiece Ultra Magnus' transformation!
