Hobby Search has posted a new image showing us Alternity Diamond Black Megatron’s box art. They have also included high resolution versions of the previously seen photoshopped stock images. The box art shows that this version of Megatron may include a tampographed Decepticon faction symbol unlike the previuos releases.

The next Transformers Alternity is Bumblebee, Encore reissues Frenzy and Rumble!
Our sponsors Big Bad Toy Store have put up preorder listings for the next entry into the Transformers Alternity line – Alternity A-03 Bumblebee! The plucky young yellow Autobot joins Optimus Prime (Convoy) and Megatron in the Alternity line this November as a Suzuki Swift. As with Convoy and Megatron, two versions will be available – Champion Yellow and Red Pearl. The red version is a likely shout-out to Cliffjumper, Bumblebee’s fellow Minibot and in more recent times red repaint of Bumblebee.
If you are a fan of the original Transformers from 1984, then there is something for you too – hot on the heels of Encore 18, Skids, is the 19th release in the Encore line – Cassette Big Mission 3, which includes reissues of Rumble, Frenzy, Overkill and Laserbeak! This marks the first time that Rumble, Frenzy and Overkill have been reissued since their original release in the 80’s, and is a must for anyone looking to complete their Decepticon cassette collection.
Also added on Big Bad Toy Store today is a preorder for the next new mold in the Disney Label Series – Donald Duck as Bumblebee!

Alternity Convoy Super Black Bio
As always thanks to TFW contributor SydneyY we can now bring you Alternity Convoy Super Black’s bio:
This Convoy, who uses “Vector – 704” Auto Avatar, is one with a unique background; he was once a disciple of the evil until he was redeemed and joined Alternity.He was once a Convoy in a world no longer exist. He was reproduced by Unicron and for several thousand years tormented, then turned into a destruction machine without a soul. He was defeated by Cybertron after a fierce battle, and 9 hundred thousand years later, in Alternity era, he was welcomed among the Convoys.
His soul has been healed by the power and mercy of the Superior One, and reborn as V-704, he arrived in present time Earth to work faithfully for the Alternity mission.
V-704 behaves as a thoughtful and skilled warrior, but sometimes fights quite ruthlessly because of his different past battle experiences from other Convoys, and he secretly wishes to fight Unicron, but to concentrate on the urgent mission, which is to deal with their arch enemy Hytherion and Megatron, he has buried his personal desire deep inside.

Binaltech Prototype Bumblebee Images
Images showing a prototype Binaltech Bumblebee have surfaced on Actoys. Pictured is a hardcopy made out of resin and sculpted by hand. A hardcopy is later used to make molds for toy casting. It’s a real shame this figure never saw a toystore shelf.
