The
official Transformers Facebook page has updated with a whole bunch of official images of the Bot Shots series, including our first look at some official pictures of what we're assuming is going to be the Wave 3 of the single packs!
The new official images give us a look at the robot and alternate modes of:
Thundercracker
Jetfire
Lockdown
Topspin (Dark of the Moon style)
Megatron, a different one based on the Dark of the Moon truck mode. Cast in translucent plastic, he is probably the "Super Bot" chase figure for this assortment.
Check out the official pics by clicking on the link above.

3rd Party Group, Corbot V, have udpated their
website with official images of their Carnage Axe. The Carnage Axe was produced in lower numbers compared to their original War Axe, so the group recommends picking it up soon before it sells out! Among their official pictures are various Transformers holding the axe, including a stunning shot (in this news posters opinion) of Generations Sky Shadow wielding the weapon.
Corbot V also teases us with an axe that is completely silver. Upcoming product? We'll see!
Check out the new images after the break and then head over to the
3rd Party discussion forum to discuss all things 3rd Party!

Our sponsor Robotkingdom has just posted a preorder of the upcoming
Transformers: Prime Entertainment Pack featuring both Bumblebee and Starscream. Notably, these are from the First Edition molds, of which many fans have been scrambling for due to the latest cancellation news of the First Edition toys. Both toys feature decos slightly different than their
First Edition counterparts. Bumblebee has exchanged some of his black stripes for blue, and Starscream features a bit more purple in some of his detailed areas.
Also to note, the set comes with two MECH figures, one of which is the their leader,
Silas. These are in much the same style that we have already seen of
Raf from
the 2011 NYCC exclusive set.
You can place a preorder with Robotkingdom on their preorder page
here.
What do you think of these figures and their new decos? Be sure to share your thoughts in the ongoing discussion.
