BTS Toys has updated their site with new images of a final production sample of BTS04 Sonicron, a figure based on a design by Guido Guidi for Soundwave, and compatible with your CHUG figures. Not only does it have full articulation, it's also compatible with Soundwave's G1 transforming cassettes! This figure does differ in some notable areas when compared to the preproduction sample reviewed early last month.

Stay tuned, as we have a gallery and review on the way. In the meantime, check out the most recent images after the jump!

Third-party newcomer Maketoy has updated their website with some very interesting photos of a new figure Giant from their Build series. While the individual member photos are blurred, it is still pretty clear that each figure bears a striking resemblance to members of a certain construction combiner team. This also gives fans another option besides the TFC Toys Hercules for this same type of combiner figure.

There is a clear photo of the group of toys combined, illustrating some of the articulation of the figure (notably the ankles and articulate fists), and a comparison photo to another familiar gestalt figure, giving us a good idea of what the resulting, combined form will look like! Click the link to view all of the mirrored images.

With the release of Transformers Dark of the Moon, the literal dam of concept art has broken and washed down upon the Internet. We are drowning in concept art right now - and like you, we're loving every gasping breath of it!

We're pleased to bring you some concept art done by Wesley Burt (with thanks to Concept Art World), who worked alongside Michael Bay and Nigel Phelps to help create some of the really amazing things seen in the latest installment from Paramount. You'll see plenty of things you recognize (Igor!), some things that didn't make the cut (some cool Optimus Prime trailer battle-station modes), and some names for characters that obviously were changed ("Steeljaw"?).

What are you waiting for? Click the story title to check out all the images!
