Artist Dario Brizuela has updated his blog with 3 pages from the first issue of IDW’s Transformers Animated Arrival series. The inked pages have been updated from the pencil sketches he showed back in May. Hopefully he will show us the colour version before the release.
Transformers Animated: Arrival #1 is due out in August.
Forum member ironpyrite303 has picked up Roll Out Command Optimus Prime in the USA for $50, and has posted some videos and pictures of the figure. The most interesting photo is of the comparison with Masterpiece Optimus Prime, which shows that Roll Out Prime is the same height but a lot fatter.
You may have though the covers had already been chosen for the issue, but Alex Milne’s original version was just his own bit of art. He has now upload the real cover to his DeviantArt page, which he describes as “fun”. The colours are by Josh Perez.
with this image i just wanted to do something fun. i tried to still give this piece an animated feel to it while still giving it my own personal tweaks so thats its a combo of styles.
Transformers Animated Arrival #1 is due out in August and is written by Marty Isenberg with art from Dario Brizuela.
Another Transformers DVD cover has been released today, this time for Transformers Animated Season One. The image does seen to be using some early Animated artwork.
The set is due for out on 19th August in North America from Paramount Home Entertainment. It will contain 13 episodes from season one, not including Transform and Roll Out!, and no extras have been announced, so expect a disappointing bare-bones release.
A McDonald’s employee has discovered the fast food chain will start selling Transformers Animated Happy Meal figures a week today in North America. From the information he received, the Transformers Animated promotion will be Littlest Pet Shop figures.
The figures known to be part of the line are Optimus Prime and Megatron.
Paramount haven’t been kind to the UK. They delayed the Energon DVDs, delayed the Transformers movie by a month, delayed the Movie DVD and HD DVD, delayed the two Animated DVDs due out this year and are now pricing the Animated series DVDs at weird prices.
The RRP for Transformers: Animated Transform and Roll Out DVD (68 minutes) has been set at £12.99, but can be found for £8.99 at most online retailers. The Animated Season One DVD, containing 13 episodes, only has a RRP of £9.99, but has a length of roughly 280 minutes, or 4 times as long.
On the good news for Paramount, they are only releasing the Transformers movie on Blu-ray in the UK 6 days after North America, on 8th September. That’s more like it.
