The Nordic TransFans Association have received word from Hasbro Nordic that confirms that the Marvel/Transformers Crossover toyline will be coming to the Nordic countries.

The Return of Binaltech?
After ending the series in 2005, TakaraTomy seem to want to bring Transformers Binaltech back, with the release of BT-19 and BT-20. Unfortunately, there are no new molds, just simple recolours of Silverstreak and Meister to form BT-19 Bluestreak and BT-20 Meister, featuring a metallic white/silver recolour.
Hopefully more confirmation and details will be released soon.
Transformers: Animated UK Air Times
TF@TM are reporting that NickToons will start airing Transformers: Animated in the UK from 25th March 2008, starting with the 3 part animated special ‘Transform and Roll Out!’. The full series will follow the next day, with a new episode airing every day until the first series finale on 7th April. Each episode will air at 4:30pm with repeats starting from 8th April.
This would mean that the series would end about the same time as the USA and Canada, who both only get one episode per week.
Bad Night for Transformers at Oscars
Despite being nominated for 3 awards, Transformers didn’t pick up a single Oscar last night at the awards.
The Bourne Ultimatum won both the Achievement in Sound Mixing and Achievement for Sound Editing, but surprising’y, The Golden Compass beat out both Transformers and Pirates of the Caribbean At World’s End to the Achievement in Visual Effects.
All we can hope for now is Transformers 2 going one better in 2 years time.
