kotaku.com are reporting that Stan Bush has contacted Activision about getting his famous song from Transformers The Movie, “The Touch”, in one of their “Guitar Hero” games.
There has also been the suggestion for it to be put in Rock Band, but given the expensive nature of the game, I would rather the former.
Derrick Wyatt has responed to the leaked sketches of Animated Rodimus, Blackout, Spittor and Strika with a few more details. Strika is referred to as “General Strika”, and has made him very happy and the design for Spittor is from the design by Don Figueroa of Spittor pre-beast mode, as shown in the IDW Beast Wars comics.
Chris Ryall has answered a question on his blog about the release date for The Transformers Spotlight: Blurr, which will be in comic stores on 5th November. Be sure to keep checking Denton J. Tipton’s blog for an updated releases.
November sees a range of comics for sale, including The Transformers Spotlight: Optimus Prime 3-D Edition, The Transformers: All Hail Megatron #5, Transformers Animated: The Arrival #4, Transformers Movie Sequel: The Reign of Starscream TPB and Transformers Best of the UK: Time Wars #4.
Derrick Wyatt has commented on the Transformers: Animated Jetfire and Jetstorm 2-pack photos leaked this week. The main points to take away are that the figures have been mistransformed in the photo, resulting in the hands being missing:
I wouldn’t rush to judgment on the Jetfire and Jetstorm figures yet. Those are some pretty terrible pictures that are out there right now. The pictures I saw way back of the grey prototypes looked really good. And yes, of course they have hands! In both robot modes! The promo pics are just mistransformed. Once they are properly transformed and posed out, they should look pretty cool.
S250 has provide some new information for the upcoming season of Transformers: Animated with some character design sketches. The four pictures all show new characters, consisting of Rodimus, Strika, Blackout and Spittor.
IDW Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall has posted the alternative covers for The Transformers: All Hail Megatron #5 and #6 on his blog. Done by artist Casey Coller and colorist Joana LaFuente, the covers continue the gritty style, but provide something different to Trevor Hutchison’s versions.
TFW2005 user Red leader, who also runs site sponsor Kapow-Toys.com, has posted pictures of two new 2-packs that will be part of the Transformers Animated toyline.
The first set, containing Deluxes Prowl and Megatron (from the Battle Begins set), uses the subtitle “Battle In Space”. The second contains Deluxes Blackarachnia and Optimus Prime (from the Battle Begins set), uses the subtitle “The Revenge of Blackarachnia”.
Another questionnaire for you guys to fill out, but also more details on next years UK convention!
We had an incredible response to our first survey about Auto Assembly 2009 and it’s allowed us to make a lot of key decisions for next year’s Auto Assembly convention to help us make it the biggest and best Transformers convention EVER that Europe will ever see. Thanks to YOUR input, we can confirm that Auto Assembly 2009 will be a TWO-DAY Transformers-only convention to be held once again in Birmingham, England, this time in our new venue, the Holiday Inn right in the City Centre.
We are still working on the exact date but we have a lot of exciting plans for the weekend including not one but TWO voice actors and a packed weekend of activities with so much going on that you won’t have much free time during the weekend and plenty of different acitivies and events each day. Full weekend passes will be available as well as the option to book for single days but once again, we want to make sure that the convention is tailored to fit what YOU all want. So we’re running another more detailed survey…
This time we want to know exactly what you want to see during the weekend. It’s your chance to influence the programme during the weekend – what the focus of the convention will be, what events and activities we will have and even the type of things you want to see from our dealers!! 2009 is the 25th Anniversary of Transformers so lets celebrate in style!
Even if you haven’t attended Auto Assembly before we still want to hear your views, and we’d love to hear from those of you who live outside of the UK who are considering attending in the 25th anniversary year next year. Don’t forget that EVERY vote counts in this survey!
We will be taking all of your responses into consideration in planning for next year, as well as all of the additional comments you may make and we’ve already had some wonderful ideas come forward and some VERY useful comments that we will be taking on board for next time so those of you who have already responded have started to shape Auto Assembly 2009!
You can find the survey here:- http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=JMiLvctC4MVPjXfk8alHMQ _3d_3d
The survey is only going to be open for a limited period of time as we want to confirm the date and first voice actor as soon as possible (we have one close to signing on the dotted line already!) and open bookings quickly so the closing date is Wednesday 15th October 2008.
Thanks in advance and we hope to see many of you there next year!

Variety are reporting that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen director Michael Bay will follow The Dark Knight’s lead and shoot 3 action sequences in the sequel in the Imax format. This will lead to a larger and more detailed picture on screen, and hopefully making the film more awesome!
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will debut in both regular theaters and in Imax.
