Demolisher Bio Revealed, on sale at eBay February 21st, 2009
An eBay auction has been spotted selling the Demolisher toy boxed, complete with an image of the packet and the character’s description. View the original auction, view another live auction to purchase Demolisher.
Demolishor isn’t very bright, but he knows when to fight, and when to run and hide. Arriving on Earth to find Megatron destroyed, hiding seemed like the best option. Since then, he’s taken a few smaller Decepticons under his protection, and built quite a little community. It hasn’t been easy hiding among the humans that creep like a disease over this planet, but he and his companions are content until a new Decepticon leader emerges to guide them back to glory.

Mysterious key chains February 19th, 2009
Of the new Transformers merchandise at Toy Fair 09 were a set of key chains, with their front designs pixelated out to prevent revealing the details of the characters. Action Figs have posted a gallery of these with the noticeable Bumblebee, Starscream etc — there are two notable oddities however, one mysterious unnamed ‘New Character’ and a figure labeled as Optimus Prime that doesn’t match his usual robot form. TFW also have a pair of silhouettes that match these two designs.
The source of these silhouettes states that the robot form of Optimus Prime is in combination with Jetfire, looking closely you can see the wing outline, boosters and a canon — this combination has previously been seen on the Legends class toys, although that arrangement looks very different.
The unnamed character has claws and is grey, I’d hesitate a guess at Megatron.

Skids Bio February 18th, 2009
With images via TF08, we have a little description about the Skids character (Green Chevy Beat/Spark):
Because he is slightly less hyperactive than his brother MUDFLAP, AUTOBOT SKIDS has always thought of himself as “the smart one.” He likes to point this out at every opportunity. While MUDFLAP zips around like a maniac, AUTOBOT SKIDS prefers to impress his superiors among the AUTOBOT high command by behaving in a way he thinks of as mature, which usually involves talking nonstop about anything that occurs to him.
