Images of the Japanese version of Generations/Legends Roadbuster... which is very similar to the Hasbro version.

Two more of the November items have been released in Japan - Rollbar (exclusive to ToysRUs in Japan and slightly different to the Hasbro Platinum version) and Carnivac (the freebie toy at ToysRUs in Japan).

Official images of the QT Transformers (yes, cutie) have been released, of the first wave of eight toys (four Gen1, four Movie).
Actual release date is still unknown, but should be soon, as it was originally listed as November, but could now be December.

EDIT - according to a followup post on TFW, the release date has now been set as December 26th, with individual links on Amazon JP apparently giving us the vehicle model names....

QT-01 Optimus Prime (Western Star 4900SB tractor)
QT-02 Bumblebee (2014 Camaro Concept)
QT-03 Lockdown (Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4)
QT-04 Crosshairs (Chevrolet Corvette C7)
QT-05 Sideswipe (Lamborghini Countach LP500S)
QT-06 Prowl (Nissan Fairlady Z 280Z-T)
QT-07 Rodimus (Toyota 86)
QT-08 Bumble (Daihatsu Copen)

Looks like the EVA Convoy Masterpiece toy is now out in Japan. A new bit of art has been released on the TakaraTomy site, along with a new chapter in the story (in Japanese).

Has Whirl been delayed? I'm going to get the Legends version but he's not in stock at BBTS or RK and not even listed at HLJ.
