Thanks to
Hobbybase Japan's Facebook and
Hk-TF.com we have new images of upcoming Transformers Cyberverse Commander figures,
Ironhide and
Dreadwing. These pics show off the figures in package and a few outside of their plastic prisons. There bios have also been revealed:
Ironhide is always ready for anything, as long as “anything” involves a fight. Surly, tough and spoiling for battle, Ironhide has made a career out of blasting Decepticons to pieces. His laser-proof armor makes him a tough opponent for even the most powerful warriors.
Dreadwing is fiercely loyal to Megatron, and is nearly as savage in battle as the Decepticon leader himself. As a Seeker, he proved himself a force to be reckoned with, as Decepticon second-in-command, he may be the end of the Autobots.

Headrobots have just dropped by to give us the scoop on their next generation of Transformers accessories:
Courageous, a red and black redeco of their upcoming
Centurion set, is exclusive to
MegaToyFan and limited to 200 pieces.
Darksol, designed for Revenge of the Fallen Voyager Mindwipe, features several weapons and a headmaster unit. This not only provides the figure with a fresh robot mode, but a third bat mode as well.
Très à propos.
Lastly, Savant provides your Dark of the Moon Voyager Skyhammer with an all new headmaster, weapons and helicopter blades.

By way of some Hobby Magazine images originally posted on Japanese image board 2Chan, we have our first look at Sci-Fi Revoltech Bumblebee in color! Bumblebee's first Revoltech release is based on Movie Bumblebee and is looking to be every bit the excellent release that Kaiyado's Sci-Fi Revoltech Movie Optimus Prime was.
Also shown in these scans is a brief look at the April Transformers Prime toy releases, Soundwave and Terrorcon Cliffjumper, and their companion Microns. There seems to be a theme going on these two - Terrorcon Cliffjumper, who is still looking very blue, comes with a Micron that looks a lot like Movie Ravage. Soundwave's companion looks eerily like Movie Scorponok!
There are also details of a new Arms Micron campaign release - Autobot Pinpointer, a limited edition of 10,000 pieces, will be available on 31 May for those spending 4,000 yen or more on Transformers Prime toys. Pinpointer is a recolored version of Power Core Combiners Undertow's partner, Waterlog. We've got an additional image of a flyer attached with a better look at this new Micron.

Thanks to the weibo account of
yaY7IhwgL (login required), we have our first image of a new upcoming Cyberverse playset. This time around, Bumblebee gets a battlesuit treatment. According to the packaging, the battlesuit can transform into a base mode for use with other Cyberverse figures. This will make a nice companion piece to the
Optimus Maximus figure and will be sold at the same price point as the
Starhammer and
Energon Driller. It will most likely be a part of Cyberverse Vehicles Wave 2.
