Forum member t-4-e has spotted some new Transformers movie figures at his local Asda store.
Out now in the UK, but in North American packaging, are Breakaway, Grindcore, Divebomb, Big Daddy, Fracture and Crankcase. All of these were previously Wal*Mart store exclusives, who have obviously shipped them out to their subsiderary, Asda, to move them quicker. Each cost £9.99.
Look out for these in other Asda stores soon.
All Hail megatron writer Shane McCarthy has posted a small update for issue #7 of the series, having now seen the sketches from Guido.
I’ve just recieved the initial sketches for a double page spread in AHM #7 that, seriously, may cause actual bodily harm to anyone that reads it.
You’ve been warned.
Guido is the man. Either that or just an astonishing freak of nature.
Enjoy the wait.
A bit of new and old this week from IDW. The Transformers Best of UK:Time Wars #4 continues the Marvel UK reprint of the same name, and The Transformers Spotlight: Blurr is the 16th Spotlight issue, written by Shane McCarthy with art by Casey Coller.
Again Chris Ryall has posted the covers for these issues, with all 3 for Spotlight: Blurr and 1 for Time Wars #4.

With fans started to get onboard the All Hail Megatron train, writer Shane McCarthy has discussed the reaction to the series with Comic Book Resources, as well as the design concept for the new character Drift.
Also included in the article are the cover for issue #8, plus a couple of unreleased pages and concept art for a new design for Perceptor.
Time for a blast from the recent past, with the reprint of Dreamwave’s Transformers Armada Volume 1 TPB, collecting issues #1-6 of the series.
The comic takes the story in a different direction to the cartoon, so is worth picking up if you cannot stand the animated series. The book is drawn by James Raiz and written by Chris Sarracini.
Chris Ryall again has the cover for your viewing pleasure.
After a teaser post in September, Chris Mowry has now provided more confirmation on what will be included in the Transformers: The Reign of Starscream TPB, due out on 19th November.
The 152 page book will collect all 5 issues, and a whole host of bonus material. There will be 33 character bios, a cover gallery with unpublished concepts, 11 pages of “never-before-seen sketches and designs by Alex Milne”, and a commentary by Chris himself, pointing out the easter eggs and other references.
Following on from the North American release on Tuesday, the UK can today sample the Transformers: Animated action on their Nintendo DS.
Look out for platforming action with driving segments for all four Autobots (minus Ratchet). The game is rated 7+ by Pegi, which means it is only sensible for children of ages 7 and up.
