While BT-21 Arcee seems to be new, it's actually not. The design is based on the previously released Windcharger from the Alternator series. And if you remember, Windcharger has another version with some minor changes, called Decepticharge.

From the first image, this upcoming Binal Tech Arcee will feature Windcharge's head, but Decepticharge's body (look at the wheel and the tail in her vehicle mode). Also, 'he' becomes a 'she' as well. XD Takara sure is confident enough in such a recolored attempt to create yet another 'new' Binal Tech figure ^^;
BT-22 Convoy is another recolored Transformer figure. The difference in terms of coloring as compared to the previous KissPlayers's version is all blue for the legs instead of red and blue.
The green parts shown will contain metallic materials.

Then again, don't forget that the Binal Tech figures contain metal parts, so their 'feel' is of course quite different from the Alternator series. ^^ According to Fantofanjp, Arcee and Convoy will be available on July 15th at 5,250 Yen each.
For Malaysian fans, you can now preorder Binal Tech Arcee and Convoy from XL-Shop.
Also, as reported some time ago, Battle Ready Bumblebee (with new mask design) and Optimus Prime with new head and sword will also be available soon. From XL-Shop, their prices are $25 (RM 80) and $75(RM 238) respectively.

On the other hand, at the recent Australia Toyfair, several 'strange' Transformers figures were spotted ^^;
Venom's transformation looks a bit like Barricade.
Wolverine looks like Rachet.
Several other Transformers Crossovers spotted on back of Venow and Wolverine's packagings: Green Hulk/Tank, Ironman/Jet, Human Torch/Jet, Black Spiderman/Motorcycle (recolored), and Gray Hulk/Tank (recolored).

Well, such crossovers are only possible when Hasbro who owned the copyright for the Transformers franchise in the U.S. also produce Marvel Comic's toys ^^;
I'm looking forward to seeing more of these weird crossovers XD
