TheTransformers.Net email to Shut Down!!!

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on | Site Updates |

Unfortunately we’ve had to move the server that hosts our domain name to a new server, and this has meant that we can no longer split our email records to allow people to use TheTransformers.Net webmail. We’re sorry for the short notice on this, but the email service will go down within the next 48 hours.

There really was nothing we could do, as it would have cost us £500 ($340) to keep the server running per year. I know a lot of you used this service and we cannot apologise enough for the inconvenience caused.

The registrations will still be active though, so maybe in the near future we’ll be able to sort something out, but for the meantime it’s not happening.

Again, sorry about this, a lot of you will be affected.

88mph Studios – beware!

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on | News | Tags:

Some of you may be aware of the Canadian based company 88mph Studios, who have released a Transformers Art book entitled ‘Genesis The Art of Transformers‘ using artwork and posters from the Transformers world. They contacted TheTransformers.Net almost 2 years ago now to ask if we could provide them with a copy of the original Transformers The Movie UK theatrical poster. We sent them the Marvel TFTM fold out comic, which had the poster on the reverse, to use in their book on the agreement that they’d take good care of it and send it back.

Despite dozens of emails, and having been told repeatedly that they’d send it, we have received nothing. We emailed again on December 30th, one last time to find out if they intended returning our rare comic, only to be sent this reply

Hello Darren,

Expect your package this week or the next depending on the holiday schedule
of FedEx.

I guess this meant that all the previous times that we’d been told it would be sent were lies. And yet again, we have received nothing.

This comic was the very same item that we loaned to Maverick in the UK to use for the TFTM DVD release, which they promptly returned once they had used it. It’s a shame that we have now lost this comic when were only helping out companies who wanted to use the Transformers artwork for Hasbro licensed releases.

As a result of this we won’t be loaning any artwork to companies again, as we just can’t be assured that we’ll get it back. If anyone else is approached by 88mph Studios asking for help, we’d advise you turn them down as they unfortunately can’t be trusted.

Appeal for Help – Scramble City

Written by Darren 'Starscream' Jamieson on | DVD,Metrodome,News |

This is an appeal for help from anyone out there with the means to assist us. We’re looking for a copy of Scramble City – subtitled. We’ve got one that’s over 60 meg in size and would do, but we’d prefer to have a larger, better quality version.

If you have a copy of Scramble City, either on VHS or in AVI format and it’s decent quality (for AVI – larger than 60 meg) then can you mail us and let us know?

By the way, it’s for the Season 2 part 2 DVD from Metrodome!
