Amazon have updated their listing for Transformers Animated: Attack of the Dinobots with the cover art for the book. The paperback is 24 pages long and is based on the Transformers: Animated series.
The book is published by HarperEntertainment and is out in May 08.
It seems Hasbro UK are still keen on releasing Transformers movie toys right up until the first releases of Transformers: Animated. TFW2005 member dinotron has picked up the latest wave of Allspark Power deluxe figures, Stockade, Jungle Bonecrusher and Overcast.
Stockade is part of wave 7.5 whilst Jungle Bonecrusher and Overcast are wave 8. The sighting was made in Toys R Us.
An auction on eBay that recently ended shows more close up details of Transformers: Animated Lugnut from Hasbro. The photos of the loyal Decepticon are of the figure in full colour with both robot and vehicle modes shown at different angles.
There is also a comparison photo with Transformers: Animated Optimus Prime and a scale to show how tall he is.
There is only one release from IDW this week, with it being The Transformers Spotlight: Mirage, the fourteenth Spotlight issue and the fourth this year.
The issue is written by George Strayton with art by Guido Guidi
A blog has uploaded pictures of the Beast Wars figures that are part of Wave 1 of the Transformers Universe Robot Heroes line. The figures are all in their packaging with close ups of the front and back.
The high quality pictures are of the Beast Wars characters Blackarachnia, Cheetor, Megatron, and Rattrap.
Another update from Transformers.com, this time in the Transformers: Animated section with new character bios.
After his debut in ‘Sound and Fury’, Soundwave is now online as well as the Dinobots, Grimlock, Snarl and Swoop. The bios also confirm that Snarl is now used instead of Slag and Grimlock is known as Autobot Grimlock, who is apparently as strong as Megatron.
Voice samples have also been added to the profile pages of Starscream, Megatron, Lockdown, and Blackarachnia.
First mentioned in the gossip section of The Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper, and now confirmed by nelson, the admin of Michael Bay’s website and forums, it seems that the Transformers 2 director is currently scouting for locations to shoot the sequel on the campuses of Girard College and the University of Pennsylvania.
Michael has stated in the past that he likes shooting in California with his super quick team but it seems he needs a change of scenery.
Some new photos of Transformers: Animated Ratchet have appeared on Actoys.net (via TFClub.com) showing a range of poses in robot and vehicle modes and throught the stages of his transformation from one to the other.
The figure is also in it’s final colours with all the accessories, that seem to cleverly store in his back.
Continuing their trend of having better websites than Hasbro, TakaraTomy has launched the official website for the Transformers Henkei, the name given to the Transformers Classics line in Japan.
The site has individual pages for each wave 1 figure, including Convoy, Megatron, Bumble, Starscream, Grimlock, and Rijie. There are also features (i think) on other Transformers stuff.
Another Transformers colourist has started his own blog, with Welshman Kris Carter expressing his thoughts on his own personal space.
He’s only 2 posts in but has put up some of the work he has done, with Titan’s Transformers UK #8 and #9 featured as well as some pages from IDW’s The Transformers Devastation #5 and Spotlight: Arcee. There is also a cover for Titan Transformers #10 coming at the end of March.
