Thanks to a new
auction from lena81822 we have new images of a loose
Transformers Generations Deluxe Megatron production sample! While this isn't the 1st incarnation of Megatron as a stealth bomber, It's the 1st figure based off IDW's stealth bomber Megatron design!
At most, we are a few months away from seeing this figure on retail shelves. Itching to see how it turned out? Read on to check out the new images!
NOTE: The alt mode isn't fully transformed.

Here is an unusual sighting from Finland! It seems there is a Transformers fan hard at work sneaking some covert references to our favorite Robots in Disguise onto the Helsinki tram system. Tramlines in the Kamppi and Kluuvi districts have been observed sporting the faction symbols. They are professionally engraved so unlikely to have been anything applied on the street - which according to Helsinki City Transport rail unit director Pekka Sirviö suggests they either came that way from the manufacturer or else the symbols were added at the rail repair shop.
Like any good prank, the identity of the one who added the brands and the reasoning for it is a mystery.
This report comes to you via
Yle Uutiset.

Japan's Summer Wonderfestival 2013 approaches, and with it, the chance of some weird and wonderful one-day license items! A-Stone toys is making one such one-day licensed item, a "Jumbo TF Fortress Maximus", basically a super-deformed (large head) and full transformable version of Generation 1 Fortress Maximus. Images shared so far demonstrate that the oversized noggin is fully removable to allow the body to transform into a compact version of the super-dreadnought starship Maximus. He comes with his "Master Shot" rifle and "Master Sword". A further image also suggests that there are Grand Maximus and Brave Maximus versions planned.
For those unfamiliar and thinking "so isn't this a third party item?", Summer Wonderfestival is treated as a special event in Japan, with garage kit makers usually afforded a one day special license from the owners of various franchises to make models or kits from the licensed franchises, on the proviso they are only sold at Wonderfestival. This has led to some very cool and sought after items, such as the Jizai Toys releases.

A-Stone Toys on Facebook for more news on this project.

More new Transformer toys showing up at US retail this afternoon. 2005 Board member Thunderstruck saw the first US sighting of the new Constructbots line in the form of the "moderate skill level" Triple Changer wave of
Bumblebee and
Blitzwing. These new buildable action figures that Transform are Hasbro's answer to the Lego Bionicle and Super Hero lines.
A lot more of these are in the pipe line, so make sure if you see them to let your fellow collectors know in our sightings forum. Click on the title bar to discuss this new finding and see the picture for proof.

Here's some Transformers 4 news to make you scratch your head.
Michael Bay's official website has updated with a poll asking fans to vote on their "Favorite New Autobot". Choices to vote for include all of the following:
Optimus Prime
Bumblebee (1967 Camaro SS)
Bumblebee (2014 Concept Camaro)
Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse
Corvette Stingray
Hound (Medium Tactical Vehicle)
Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Coupe
Chevy Sonic RS
Pagani Huayra
2014 Argosy by Freightliner
We've known for some time that the top six choices were confirmed to be new characters. But this is the first time the Chevy Sonic, the Lamborghini, the Pagani Huayra or the Argosy have been mentioned as Autobots. Take this as a grain of salt. This could be a simple error or naming the poll incorrectly (perhaps they meant favorite new "Transformer") or this is could be a factual list. Time will tell. In the meantime, enjoy the poll. Head over to the link above to cast your vote.
