 Tomy Takara has updated their official Transformers Alternity micro-site with a teaser for a possible upcoming figure after A-03 Suzuki Swift Sport Bumbleebee and Cliffjumper are released. There is a blacked out vehicle with the words, "Coming Soon" displayed beneath the figure. The vehicle seems to look like a Lamborghini with a spoiler. If the Alternity (and similary, BinalTech) trend of basing their figures off currently produced vehicles, that narrows it down to the Murcielago and Gallardo.
 We have several new images of some upcoming Transformers figures from Tomy Takara, thanks to the CyberGundam Blog. The images include colored Alternity Suzuki Swift Sport A-03 Bumblebee and Cliffjumper, Disney Label Donald Duck, and some Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen figures, because what would be complete without them? These figures were on display at the Tomy Takara exhibit at the 2009 East Japan Toy convention. Look for Bumblebee and Cliffjumper to land in November and Donald Duck in December.
