These new sets focus on Transformers Animated and Universe. First up is an upgrade for Universe Sunstreaker, giving him new stickers based on G1 and detailing from the Lamborghini Gallardo. Next is an upgrade to Animated Prowl, which adds a lot of the missing details, not the least of which is quite a bit of gold trim. Lastly is a great set for Animated Ratchet that includes his old battle wound and a whole bunch of other missing details.

2005 Boards member Rquiem has received an e-mail from First4Figures in regards to whether many of the previously revealed First4Figures statues and busts will be released. Kanako Mori of First4 figures stated the following:
We’re in negotiations with Hasbro at the moment about putting out the Baroness and Ravage only. The other statues were canceled due to a lack of retailer support.
Therefore, it is possible that the Ravage and Baroness statue may still see a release but any hope for the Optimus Prime vs. Storm Shadow statue, Scourge statue, Waspinator bust, Optimus Primal bust, and others is now gone.

A heads up to vintage collectors - The Generation 2 Devastator, who was originally made in both orange and yellow, has been knocked off, according to these two listings from Yahobby.com. The reproduction is easy to identify in package, as it comes in a Generation 1 Devastator gift box.
Please remember that any reproduction or knock off Transformers are made without the permission of Hasbro and may not be subject to the same level of quality testing as an official Hasbro Transformers toy.
