    Encore 09 is Bumble (Bumblebee) with four other Minibots. The shadowed Minibots seem to be Powerglide, Warpath, Cosmos, and Huffer.
    Encore 10 is OMEGA SUPREME!

    Japanese Classics (HenKei "Transform"! Transformer) packaging and figures are also shown.

    10 of the pictures are mirroed below, in case Fan2Fan goes down from heavy traffic. The other five pictures can be seen here.

    Starscream's deco appears very different from the Classics version.

    With Sky Lynx and Omega Supreme, could Shockwave be far behind?

    I got the TFC Minibots so I'm good there. Glad they didn't stick in just one new one so I wouldn't have to re-buy the others.

    BUT OMEGA SUPREME! OMFG!!!

    Sweet, looks like Tomy is finally feeling the pressure of the KO companies, and they're actually gonna release reissues that we want.

    Bring on Omega baby!

    And their Classics Prime is such an improvement over the Hasbro version. Blue hands FTW!

    I don't see the anime Astrotrain. I'm excited about Omega Supreme. What's the price in US dollars?

    WOW I can finally get an Omega Supreme!!! I also like the Classics Megatron and the Grimlock is awesome as well with the chromed out parts. Thanks TAK/TOM!!!

    Edit: With all of the toys this year, Classics 2.0, Encore and reissue Classics from TAK/TOM, this is setting up to be a great year for TF's but a bad year on my budget... ;)  :(
