We're rounding off our series of galleries on the Botcon 2011 toys with the second set of at-show souvenir toys, two toys who ironically had nothing to do with Transformers Animated at the Transformers Animated convention! These two toys were Shattered Glass characters, Galvatron and Thundercracker! Galvatron is the reborn form of Shattered Glass Megatron, powered up with the power of Nexus Prime of the 13, while Thundercracker is a homage to the legendary Action Master Thundercracker - he's a toy that does double duty because while he came packed with a Shattered Glass Tech Spec, a Generation 2 Tech Spec was also written for him! Check out the galleries of these two Shattered Glass Decepticons below - maybe we'll be seeing them again given this year's Botcon is a return to the Shatteredverse?

Read the solicitations below but beware spoilers!

The TRANSFORMERS comic that began it all—is back. With a vengeance! 21 years have passed since CYBERTRON was restored to its former glory, and finally there is peace. But, after millions of years of bitter civil war, can all ever truly be one? In a conflict this primal, this epic and far-reaching… There are always “Loose Ends”!

Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye Ongoing #7
James Roberts (w) • Alex Milne (a) • Milne, Nick Roche (c)
DECEPTICON MONTH! The war’s over — but no-one told the DECEPTICON Justice Division! Meet the five deadliest DECEPTICONS in the galaxy. Their sole purpose: to hunt down and kill anyone who has ever disobeyed MEGATRON. Who’s their next target?

Transformers: Robots in Disguise Ongoing #7
John Barber (w) • Brendan Cahill (a) • Andrew Griffith, Casey Coller (c)
DECEPTICON MONTH! Fan-favorite character TURMOIL returns from the dead—but what does he want on CYBERTRON?

Seeing as this week has brought us our first look at the Million Publishing Generations 2012 exclusive, Artfire, let us take a look back at his partner Stepper. Stepper was the mail in exclusive with Transformers Generations 2011, a Classics style update to the original Stepper from the 1987 Headmasters line. Like the original toy, this new Stepper was a redeco of Autobot Jazz, and like the original, this new Stepper included an additional Targetmaster figure (a redeco of Cyclonus' Targetmaster in fact, just like the original!). A final comparison with the original toy is that this new one looks utterly amazing! The black deco with the gold flames is very sharp, and contrasts nicely with the white in robot mode. But don't just take my word for it - we've got an extensive gallery for you to check out and enjoy. Open the link below and check it out!

A reminder readers to tune in to The Hub today to catch some more all-new episodes of Transformers! Airing today is an all-new episode of Transformers Rescue Bots! This new episode is titled "Four Bots and a Baby"! Just how will Heatwave handle being a dad to a robo-baby? Find out on The Hub at 12:30pm ET | 9:30am PT!

Then at 8:30pm ET | 5:30 PT it's time for a new episode of Transformers Prime! This week is the episode Grill - the episode is being billed as a recap of everything that has happened so far from the point of view of Agent Fowler, as he is brought before a military tribunal. It's unashamedly a clip show - but the Fowler point of view suggests we might get an interesting "take" on events.

The Singaporean Transformers fans Facebook group Planet Iacon have uploaded new, in-hand photos of the second Bathing Ape, or BAPE, exclusive G1 Convoy. Like the first version, this redeco features a forest camouflaged trailer, but this time in grey. Custom paint applications and stickers further help to distinguish this exclusive.

There are more photos after the jump, and you can head over to Planet Iacon to see more.

Images of a new 3rd party set from Dr. Wu have surfaced on ACToys. This time, it's color images of their DW-P06 Partners set. This set, which looks like it will be a two pack, comes with two yellow hard hat workers intended to be in scale with Masterpiece 10 Convoy. These two figures look an awful lot like Generation 1 Spike and Sparkplug. Hopefully a Chip Chase is on the way!

Check out the images after the break.

Amazon.com has listed the IDW Collections Volume 7 for pre-order, due out later this year. The product page lists the following will be included in this hardcover set:

The Transformers: Drift
The Transformers: Infestation #1 and #2
The Transformers: #7 thru #18

Transformers: Drift has already been published in the IDW Collections Volume 4, and we suspect that is most likely supposed to be The Transformers: Ironhide miniseries.

To wrap up our coverage of the 2011 Fun Publications releases for the time being, we have another pair of galleries for you. These two were the Transformers Collector's Club 2011 exclusives - Generation 2 Ramjet and Transformers Animated Cheetor! Animated Cheetor got to feature in the Botcon 2011 comic as the partner to veteran Autobot Sideswipe, so he makes a fun extension to the Botcon 2011 figure set. Ramjet on the other hand sports his awesome Generation 2 colors, as seen in the CGI intro credits to the Generation 2 cartoon (the only new footage in that cartoon... sort of). He makes a nice complement to the Botcon 2010 Generation 2 Redux set.

Click on the links below to check out the galleries of both of these cool figures.

Lowbcousin of HK-TF has shared a selection of images of the newly released Kabaya Transformers Gum Wave 5 Hot Spot and the Gaia Guardian combiner series. The six robots in this series - Graze / Blades, Groove, First Aid, Streetwise and newcomers Heatrock & Skyfeather variously combine to form Gaia Guardian or with Hot Spot to form God Guardian. Leave out the new guys and you can form a tiny version of the original Defensor! By the looks of these images, Defensor's original Scramble City limb switching may even be intact - three out of the four Protectobots appear to retain their original head / arm attachment design - Streetwise was always a bit different to the rest but could his also be intact, to make this a truly scaled down version of the original 1986 vintage toy?
