Two more guests are now confirmed to be at the UK’s only dedicated Transformers convention, Auto Assembly 2009.
Artists Lee Sullivan and Mike Collins will again be making an appearance, joining in with the comic panel and signing the weird and wonderful things fans tend to bring.
IDW Publishing Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall has announced on his blog a new childrens book from himself and IDW. I Am Optimus Prime, is a 32 page book, due out in May, and is described as a crossover between a picture book and a comic.
The characters are being modelled after the Robot Heroes toyline, with the art drawn by Joe and Rob Sharp, and will be a hardcover with dustjacket, which is shown below.
A post on a.t.t. has confirmed that the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toyline will be hitting Walmart stores on 29th May, about a month before the film hits cinemas.
This follows a similar launch to the first movie, with toys being sighted around late May 2007.
A quote from the Walmart 2009 Toys Spring Modular Guide describes the line as being “far and away the largest action figure license for the year”, which should means lots of attention focused on the brand.

Paramount Home Entertainment have released 2 Transformer: Animated DVD packages in North America today.
Transformers: Animated Season Two contains all 13 episodes of the second season, with extra features consisting of 2 audio commentaries, photo gallery and 2 animated shorts. Transformers: Animated – Transform and Roll Out + Season One Combo is a combination of the animated movie special that kicked off the series and the first season, again consisting of 13 episodes.
There’s a good start to the new year from IDW, with 4 comics this week. The only new material is The Transformers: Maximum Dinobots #2, Simon Furman’s Dinobot tale, picking up after Transformers: Devastation.
The other 3 titles are TPBs, the first being Transformers: Saga of the Allspark TPB, which collects the four issues released by IDW, which are actually the first 8 issues of Titan’s Transformers UK comic. Next comes 2 reprinted volumes from IDW’s main continuity, The Transformers: Stormbringer TPB [4th Printing] and The Transformers: Escalation TPB [2nd Printing], volumes 2 and 3 respectively.
Covers can be found here.
Titan Comics have sent out letters to subscribers that their Transformers: Animated comic, exclusive to the UK, will be discontinued after issue #3, which was released last month.
Given the credit crunch, it appears to be very hard to sustain two Transformers comics in the UK. Subscriptions are being transferred to Titan’s Transformers movie comic, which is far more likely to survive.
