Pictures have materialised of the next in line to be given the Binaltech treatment. A red Honda S2000(at least it’s red for now!). Speculation is flying about what the name is going to be but the favourites at the moment seem to be Windcharger, Cliffjumper, Overdrive and even Blaster(yes, Blaster. Well they’ve done big Grimlock haven’t they?) Keep your optical sensors peeled for this one!

It’s true. Hasbro have confirmed that there will be no more Alternators released in the UK. They say it’s because of “reluctance” by the retailers to sell the line. Personally, I don’t buy that! Either way, once again the British TF fans have been passed over. The only way to get these very impressive figures is to import them from the States or Japan. Ta very much Hasbro UK!!!

The next Q&A session is up on transformers.com. Here Hasbro confirms that High Wire’s colour scheme will not be changed, as rumours have appeared that his is apparently unpainted from the torso up. They also confirm the continuation of the G1 Commemerative Series with Autbot Skids this Summer and that the Alternators will continue to be released through Summer and Autumn, despite the poor showing of them so far. Check the page itself for more deatils here.

That’s right folks, we’ve got another load of Transformers PS2 demo discs to give
away. Underneath a box of old Transformers we’ve found about 50 extra discs, just
waiting for you to play them. So if you’ve not requested one yet, and would like
a demo of Atari’s Transformers PlayStation 2 game just ask for one here.

Atari have started posting the FREE PS2 demo discs for Transformers now. Some people already have them, others are still waiting. If you’ve not requested one there are still a few left here.

Please note, these are for UK, Northern Ireland and Eire residents ONLY. So Americans, please stop wasting our time by entering your address when the games won’t work in the USA anyway!

I recently e-mailed Hasbro UK enquiring about the UK release of Masterpiece Optimus Prime. And got a reply to this effect (haven’t got the e-mail anymore, so it was like this). Basically, since Transformers didn’t appear in the UK until 1985, the 20th anniversary in the UK isn’t actually until 2005, so we won’t be getting MP Prme for AT LEAST a year. This sucks MAJOR ass. But what can we expect from Hasbro UK? One word now springs to mind – IMPORT.
