Million Publishing, the company that will be bringing us the exclusive
Artfire later this, or early next year, has updated their website with images from the Generations 2012 book.
In addition to page previews, a shirt featuring Artfire and his preceding exclusive Targetmaster buddy
Stepper will be available.
The book is usually required to purchase the exclusive figure, but for those of us overseas, there are other means. Visit our sponsors to check for availability.

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.

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.

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!

Universe Animated Legends Prime as a base and is rocking an Ultra Magnus-ish color scheme.
