The new image shows the pair of Autobots in their inner packaging tray, which indicates that unlike past E-Hobby G1 redeco exclusives - which came out in pairs, but were packaged individually - Skids and Screech will come in a single boxed set.
Check out the image along with the previously released images of the set by clicking on the link above.

A new image surfaced over at HK-TF showing what appears to be a new "classics style" Frenzy/Rumble. The picture is labelled "New 2010 TF" but it is unknown at this time whether this is an official product to fit in with the Classics/Universe line, or if it is a fan-made creation.
Further more we do not know if this will be Frenzy or Rumble. Or maybe it could even be Rosanna here to save G1? We have no further information at this time other than this image, but make sure to check back for all the latest on upcoming Transformers products!

Here is a once in a lifetime chance - a piece of original battle scene artwork from Transformers Generation 1 has gone up on Ebay. This piece of artwork was drawn and painted by Jeffrey Mangiat, and was used on the back of all Transformers released in 1986. It's a large piece, 26” X 24” in size, gouache on illustration board. You can check out the auction on Ebay here, but be warned - the asking price is not cheap. But then, would you expect any less from the original piece of artwork that was used for the entire 1986 run of Transformers?

Vintage collectors beware, there is a new Generation 1 unauthorized reproduction on the market. Sunstreaker is the latest Generation 1 character to be knocked off. They are intended to hit the market within the first week of November.
Fortunately, there are some fairly easy to spot clues on the in box sample that will tell you if you are looking at a vintage piece or this knock off. Several factory applied black stickers are missing, including the black "skirt" detail and the black "triangle" detail on the side of the car, which are visible from the front of the box. The black triangle on the car's roof is also missing, although it is a lot harder to spot this on boxed samples, due to the way Sunstreaker is packaged.
