TF08 have posted their second batch of images for the week, this time showing Skids and Megatron in their boxes, alongside the new blue motorcycle character, ‘Chromia’.
The packet describes Chromia’s character as a female friend of Ironhide (partners — aka a love interest) with sisters, presumably two given the three different bikes. This character profile matches the outline of Chromia given on Wikipedia based on the first generation animated series in the episode, “The Search for Alpha Trion.”. There appears to be no mention of Chromia combining with any other robot/toys to form what was thought would be Arcee.
Chromia is tough as nails, and always spoiling for a fight. She’s […] friends with Ironhide for centuries, and their reunion on Earth […] one of the high points of the war for both of them. Now they […] side-by-side, hunting and destroying Decepticons. neither of […] has ever been happier. The two robots make great partners, and […] along with her sisters, are an invaluable part of the […].

TF08 have posted some new shots of Barricade and Bumblebee Revenge of the Fallen toys in vehicle mode with their weapons out. Barricades involvement in the movie is largely unknown, although the car has been spotted on set.
Griffin from the OCTA forums has reported back from the Aussie toy fair 2009 at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, complete with images of new Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys. ON display were a couple of models from each toy class — four legends toys, two scouts, three deluxe, two voyager, two leader (including the Jetfire previews we’ve seen recently), supreme class devastator, one FAB, three power bots (unpainted Devastator prototype and Optimus Prime/Jetfire combined form), two robot heroes and three gravity bots. Notably, the devastator toy on show was an unstable, unpainted prototype that was tied up with fishing wire.
Australian forums OCTA have captured new images of the leader class Jetfire toy, one of the last remaining characters for us to see in toy mode. The packaging shows both robot mode and Blackbird alt mode, it also confirms that the toy can combine with the leader class Optimus Prime.
His bio reads:
Jetfire grew tired of war a long time ago. The reckless ambition of the Decepticons, and the senseless violence of their war sickened him, and so he left Cybertron to go into hiding. The form he eventually chose on Earth seemed appropriate for one who wished to remain unseen. He slumbered in peace for years. Now, reawakened by the arrival of the war on Earth, he decides once again to enter the fight — this time on the side of the Autobots, and this to end it for good, whatever the cost.
There is also another “Flight Mode” optimus prime toy that shows the combination with Jetfire:
TF08 have posted pictures of the Megatron Robot Replica figure with extra large right claw and tracks for feet:
GenZhao at TFW2005 has posted images of the new Mudflap Fast Action Battler toy which is being sold on eBay. He is also selling a Deluxe Class Skids toy (view auction).
