Ebay seller lena81822 has posted auctions for the following figures:

• Generations Rhinox
• Generations Doubledealer

Both auctions have a number of robot mode images attached, which we've mirrored here. Interestingly they are listed as TakaraTomy releases but I think these may actually be the Hasbro versions(lack of shiny paint). If these are indeed the Hasbro releases, they may be indicative of how the final production figures will look upon release in November.

Read on to check out the new Generations voyager figures.

Thanks to cmraseye on Flickr, we get another shot of a TF4 Clapperboard (the thing they snap when they yell "Take 1"), featuring what looks to be robot-mode artwork for new Transformers 4 characters. This time the bot looks red, "Bumblebee-ish" with spikes on the shoulders. Could this be the Pagani Huayra seen on set before? Discuss and speculate after the break!

The gigantic Generations TG-23 Metroplex has also been released in Japan! Takara-Tomy's Metroplex features a second gun, additional paint applications, white ramps, a chromed face, and foil stickers - all of which together makes for a lavish and slavishly Generation 1 release styled release.

A pair of new Bot Shot launchers have been revealed in a catalog displayed in Taiwanese store Toyworld! The two new launchers feature Buzzclaw, an orange and green Predacon Bot Shot, and Bluestreak, who looks very much like Generation 1 Smokescreen. The page also features a fresh look at the Starscream and Hun-Gurrr Bot Shot Launchers.

The catalog also features coverage of Construct Bots, the Rescue Bots Flip Changers and Optimus Prime Rescue Trailer, and the Beast Hunters Cyberverse Vehicles, but nothing on those pages that was previously unseen.

Via the Facebook page of Cassy Sark, we have a look at a second possible unofficial Overlord figure. Cassy Sark is a freelance designer who has done work for Mastermind Creations on their Reformatted line including Seraph Prominion Nova Prime, Hexatron Sixshot and Feral Rex Predaking. So what we are looking at here is the announcement of a possible Overlord from Mastermind Creations, with the intricate level of detail like Hexatron. 2005 Boards member CenoKibble, who passed the word of this along to us, gave the name of the figure as "Carnifex" ("Butcher" in Latin). Stay tuned for more information.

2005 Boards member GENgoraw has shared with us some cool images of the presently Japanese market exclusive FJ Optimus Prime. This figure comes with a base robot "skeleton" and two different colored vehicle shells (on runners) for you to attach to the base and form either a white or a yellow Toyoto FJ Transformer. The semi-model kit nature of the set naturally lends this to customization as well, helped by the inclusion of a white vehicle shell. Read on to check out the images that GENgoraw has kindly shared with us.
