Entertainment Earth have put up the Transformers Cybertron Deluxe Wave 5 assortment for pre-order. This assortment includes:
8 individually packaged Transformers: 1x Downshift (green car), 1x Cybertron Defense Hot Shot (armored blue vehicle), 1x Snarl (Wolf), 1x Sideways (Space Ship), 1x Buzzsaw (helicopter), 1x Runamuck (black car), 1x Longrack (construction vehicle), 1x Blurr (blue car). (Subject to change.)
They hae also posted the bios for the two new figures in this assortment, Cybertron Defence Hot Shot and Downshift:
Hot Shot
HOT SHOT isn’t psyched to give up his modified racer mode and the speed that went with it, but in the service of CYBERTRON, any sacrifice is worthwhile to him. His adventures on the Speed Planet taught him that speed isn’t everything – true victory can only be won through a combination of wits, reflexes, and, when it comes down to it, the right weaponry. His new, heavily armed modes pack enough firepower to keep most enemies at bay, but if they get close enough, HOT SHOT is more than happy to show them the sword fighting techniques he learned from BRAKEDOWN back on the Speed Planet.
Downshift
A few years of experience in the Energon Wars have gone a long way in DOWNSHIFT. Once an impulsive speedster, he has learned patience and consideration from his mentor HOT SHOT. Where he once would have raced straight into battle against even overwhelming odds, relying on his speed to get him out of tight spots, he has now learned to observe and enter a fight cautiously. His keen eye and quick reflexes allow him to exploit even the smallest opportunity to bring down DECEPTICONS much bigger and stronger than him.

BigBadToyStore has released a smal newsletter with two new products: Galaxy Force Soundblaster and a restock of Reissue Soundblaster. In addition,
Cybertron Galvatron has now been listed in stock. Here's the newsletter:
PREORDER TAKARA GALAXY FORCE SOUNDBLASTER: We've just uploaded a picture of this highly anticipated exclusive. Preorders are available for $64.99 and this is a fairly limited edition release. The GX-02 Soundwave was extremely popular and we expect this one to be as well.
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK10490&mode=retail
REISSUE SOUNDBLASTER: One of our secondary overseas suppliers was able to find a small number of Soundblasters at aftermarket pricing in Japan. We now have them back in stock at $104.99, which is a bit spendy, but much better than not stocking them at all. I would expect this figure to further appreciate as they become more and more scarce, as Soundwave did.
