New images, depending on who you ask. For those that love our favorite ninja bike, yizhi521 of TF08.net comes through again with images of Prowl and his sidecar that allows him to transform into his samurai gear (ironic, since ninja and samurai were often enemies). If you're not sick of seeing Universe Leo Prime yet, clean pics of Universe Leo Prime in both modes and combined with Cybertron Optimus are up courtesy of redbean from ACToys.net.

Check out Prowl here and Leo Prime here!

Well, Encore Black Megatron, that is. Plus, mini-manga included in the respective figures, to which e-Hobby has a preview of two pages. Both will be out sometime in February 2009.

Check here for Megatron's page and here for Sunstorm's.

TRANSFORMERS UNIVERSE DELUXE WAVE 6

The Universe of the Transformers is vast, and populated by many characters. Their universe is a large tapestry, made up of the stories and points of view of countless experiences that serve the larger whole. These are some of those stories. This is: Transformers: Mosaic.

11/27/08 Mosaics: A safe and Happy Thanksgiving to fellow US peeps, as well to those that don't even celebrate it!

• Tracks' Triumphant Times isn't all that triumphant.
• Razorclaw knows when No Conflict is the honorable choice.
• Outback should've promised Kup before they wound up in The Outback.
• Pipes's use of Old Garbage could bring him more trouble.
• Thoughts of a scientist first, always a warrior second.
• On Screening for Vortex, Smokescreen does what he will.
• Listening to the waves will always be better than the Sound of the Screaming.
• The Six Faces Blaze Master will never forget.
• Mixmaster finds Sudden Release doesn't necessarily equate to sudden gratitude.
• Should've run anti-malware check before Getting Away , Getaway.

Getting bored on your Thanksgiving break? Need a little diversion to lift your spirits? Various members of TF08.net have posted new images of upcoming Transformers figures, all for your entertainment (and partially for their monetary gain)!

First up is a new image of Universe 25th Anniversary Dinobot in dino mode. Unfortunately, he's still mis-transformed, but at least you can get a good look at Hasbro's colorscheme for the ol' Scalebelly. You can see the image here.

Next is Universe Legends Class Wheelie, and for the first time in actual plastic color rather than as a hand-painted sample! Click here for Wheelie!

And lastly, a new toy that hadn't previously been known about. This toy looks to be a repaint of the Wreckage figure that came out for the Transformers Movie line. Only instead of the arctic camo deco, he seems to be sporting a colorscheme more reminiscent of his original concept art! The wreckage image can be spotted here!  

ACToys.net user All stars has several edited/cobbeled pics comparing MP Grimlock with Classics Optimus, as well a variety of Optimii and Grimlock in both modes to further the comparison. From the looks of it, Grimlock in bot mode seems about a bit shorter than MP Prime.
