Coming off the news we gave you yesterday on The Entertainer listing Transformers: Animated & Transformers: Universe, we now have news on Toys R Us computers listing upcoming figures.
Forum member prime_time has had a sneak peak at the Toys R Us computers, and found some Animated and Universe stuff listed, so expect them soon, maybe late April/May. He did find an interesting listing, a Leader figure “Metropolis”, which he assures us was not spelt Metroplex. Could this be a cityformer or something else, we’ll just have to wait to see.

After the frist episode of season 2 of Transformers: Animated aired last weekend on Cartoon Network and YTV in North America and Canada respectively, it was hoped that the series would continue without any breaks.

Episode 18 will air on Saturday 19th April at 11:00 AM Eastern Time.
TrekMovie.com recently had a Q & A with Transformers 2 (and Star Trek) writer Roberto Orci, who slipped some information about the progress of the Transformers sequel.
He and Alex Kurtzman were released from ‘Michael Bay Jail’ on Friday after finished the first draft of the script. And by ‘Jail’, they mean a luxury hotel on the Pacific Coast with lots of sun.
It was also mentioned that at least one Star Trek reference is in the Transformers Sequel. Oh dear.
