TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Tail-end ROTF RPMs out in Germany.

Nevermore has posted over on TFW2005.com regarding some German sightings of the tail-end part of the Transformers RPM line.

\"Yeah, I guess not many here care about RPMs.\" posts Nevermove, \"Still, from what I could gather, the last wave never came out in the United States, but apparently in Asia. (Apparently they are coming out in the USA in \"Speed Stars\" packaging instead.)
I found these ones at a German TRU last week, and yesterday I also saw them at Real, a domestic supermarket chain. These photos were taken at the Real store in Moers.

Also, is the Speed Stars Bumblebee Track Set new?

And while I\'m at it, Real also has Hunt for the Decepticons Deluxe wave 2 (Axor, Rescue Ratchet, Tuner Skids)... for a discount price of 15 instead of 20 Euros (i.e. $21 USD instead of $28 USD).\"

 You can find the original post and images here on the TFW2005 boards.

2011 Transformers Collectors Club exclusive G2 Ramjet revealed

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called 2011 Transformers Collectors Club exclusive G2 Ramjet revealed.

The Transformers Collectors Club have updated their website with the first images of next years exclusive figure G2 Ramjet!

Ramjet doesn\'t know how he was exposed to Forestonite but he\'s definitely grateful for the tougher skin that he\'s grown in alternate mode. Now when he catches any hot shot pilot, human or Autobot, in his territory amongst the clouds, he has the capability of truly putting that pilot in a jam! Instead of locking on with his weapons, Ramjet engages his afterburners knowing that one strike from his strengthened nose cone will leave all of his adversaries toast!
G2 Ramjet is a Deluxe sized figure featured in the Wings Universe and is part of the Generation 2: Redux cast. G2 Ramjet utilizes the extremely popular Classics seeker mold. The toy is packed in a convention style box with a foam insert for easy removal and display.

­­­

Personally I\'ve been waiting for this toy since the Classic Seekers first came out as I am a fan of the G2 Ramjet design.
