Some rough descriptions from my source.  Speculative at this point...

 

Life/Live Convoy is a yellow helicopter with a winch on the right arm retailing at 3,000 Yen

 

Sonic Bomber is a white airplane & will remind you of Powerglide.  Becomes the wings & breast armor of... Retails at 4,000 Yen at the end of July 2005

 

"ECSHIGAZAR" is described to be an armored vehicle retailing at 2,000 Yen in the middle of July 2005

 

Back Guild is a tank & artillery is in the feet & hands retailing at 3,000 Yen in the middle of July 2005

"MEGARO/MEGALO" Convoy is the fifth convoy scheduled for October 2005

 

Cool...

So anyone know what planet Megalo Convoy comes from? And is it possible Back Guild is an update/rebuilt of Backpack?

White Powerglide homage...cool...

then the same happens as with GX-01? (that's just a guess, as both have aireal alt modes as well)

[Smookimus]

I thought that rumble's alt mode was not a "beast" type, the proto seems to have a cockpit. :wtf

[Cyclone_X]

with 'insect' is meant that it looks like one, better word would have been 'insectoid'

[Blitz]

its refering to the spider tank styple alt mode (ps i hope this treand of anime esk alt mode's keeps going)

A speculation about the Takara Collection Mini-Bot set 2:

 

First off, Takara has made a habit of doing some really cool things with this series. For example, Insections with Energon cubes, Bumblebee's cartoon head, Starscream with a mini-Megatron gun to hold, Optimus and Megatron with energy Axe/Morningstar. This sort of thing. This makes me wonder about this set.

 

The first set included six figures. From the first two years of G1, only five figures remain: Cliffjumper, Brawn, Windcharger, Seaspray, and Beachcomber. The obvious choice for #6 would be Wheelie. That wouldn't be the coolest thing they could do though, which is kinda what I expect from this line. I'm looking forward to see if #6 is:

 

Bumblejumper

 

Why shouldn't it be? With all the goofy stuff they do with this line, it makes perfect sense.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Not sure which one is bumblejumper.. but if you're reffering to Bumper I'm all for it. Not going to be Wheelie, as we all well know by now.. lol

[Rapid Run]

i don't like the idea or rumble as an insecticon, the mold looks bad but that's just my opinion.

So, nothing new on Megaro/Megalo Convoy eh?
