Takara Tomy has updated their Transformers website with new information on the Transformers Alternity toy series Bumble Bee action figure. Updates on the Transformers Revenge of The Fallen are with new images of upcoming action figures and a new interview ROTF figures designer designer Hirinori Kobayashi.

The guys at Modxtoy have posted scanned images from the December 2009 issue of Japanese toy magazine Hyper Hobby. Featured in this issue is the Amazon exclusive black Leader Optimus Prime figure. Also shown are the EZ Collection toys EZ Collection and Deluxes figures, Transformers Encore Vol.3, Device Label items.

In a follow up to the previously reported rumor that Tomy Takara has cancelled Device Label Blaster, I just got an email from HLJ.com saying that not only was my Blaster pre-order canceled, but also my back-ordered Ravage despite having already been released. I assume (but could be wrong) that the two mice (which I did not have ordered) have been discontinued as well once whatever number they've manufactured has been released. Read on for an excerpt of the email.

Thanks again to the guys over at ModXToys who have posted scans from the December 2009 edition of the Japanese toy collectors magazine Dengeki Hobby Magazine. There's not much new in this issue, in fact its more of the same with listings and images for the Japan releases of Transformers: Revenge of the fallen Leader Buster Prime, EZ Collection and Deluxes figures, Transformers: Disney Label Donald Duck, Transformers Encore Vol.3, Device Label items. Interestingly enough, the magazine lists that Device Label Blaster has merely been delayed until Spring 2010, not canceled, which was the circulating rumor this week.

According to the pre-order page at retailer Red Mercury (translated), after pushing Device Label Blaster back from September to December 2009, Tomy Takara has straight out canceled the product. It is unknown why this version has been canceled, but if you're going through sadness, just splurge and pick up the Device Label Tigatron and Ravage USB thumb drives.

Thanks to tf-op for the heads on a prototype image that has surfaced on HK-TF for a new Transformers robot action figure that closely resembles the Soundwave cassettes character action figures Rumble and Frenzy. The head and torsos are dead ringers for the cassettes the way they looked in the G1 cartoons.

Thanks to vansch of hk-tf.com who has posted a some new pictures of the TFCToy Gear of War 2 set in the in package, Battle Rollar Shadow Rollar and Battle Rollar Lady Rollar.

We've already posted some images of the Tomy Takara Transformers Device Label Tigatron and Ravage 2GB USB flash drives, but we haven't seen much on the actual software that comes with. However, we have some screen caps to show you today.

Thanks to Snakas who's posted news that the Japanese collectible magazine Figure King Magazine No. 141 reveals the robot behind the mask. As previously reported from Figure King No.140, there is a mystery EZ Collection (legends class) figure coming out in Japan only. The preview showed a silhouette of a constructicon-like team and it should be no big surprise they are the "Desert Attack" Team that will be offered as a Toys R' Japan exclusive.

Thanks to アルフェス2010 who has posted a blog and pictorial review exposing the Takara Tomy Device Label USB Tigatron & Jaguar devices. The figures are shown in and out of packaging as well as their transformation from 2 GB USB thumb drive to the robot white tiger or jaguar figure.

Thanks to Vansch of hk-tf.com who has posted news and an image about a new Disney Label Transformers release. Looks like Tomy Takara will be following suit with the Disney Label Donald Duck much as they did with the Mickey Mouse offering a black, gray and white (monochrome) version for Donald too. Love them or hate them, check out the images and decide for yourself.

iGear has updated their web site with new images of an all clear plastic version of the Miniature Master Piece Optimus Prime that was previously announced.

Thanks to ModXToy, we have scans of the October issue of Hyper Hobby. The magazine only offers up two pages of Tomy Takara products, but gives us a closer look at Transformers Alternity A-03 Suzuki Swift Sport Cliffjumper head mold. The head mold is unpainted, but you can sort of use the colored versions to get a frame of mind. Other figures included are eHobby's Masterpiece MP-01b Convoy, Disney Label Halloween Mickey Mouse, Device Labels, and a slew of upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen figures.

Thanks to S250, an interesting piece of news hit the wire recently, in the form of a transforming version of the Chinese webcomic character Yoyocici. The figure's vehicle mode is a super-deformed version of the Transformers movie Optimus Prime and transforms into a robot that sports the same color scheme as Prime, too. Read more.

Jizai Toys has posted images of upcoming Wonder Festival exclusive Nano Scale G1 Wheelie and Springer figures. These figures are about the same class as the Legends toys and are made by Tomy Takara. Despite the size of these little guys, Takara has been able to shove in a triple changer feature for Springer. Pics after the jump!
