Today, Cartoon Network and YTV will air the final episode of the first season of Transformers: Animated. The episode, titled Megatron Rising Part Two, follows on from last weeks episode, with Megatron ready to conquer Earth with his new body.
Here is the official blurb:
The Autobots are decimated by the Decepticon invasion, but still must rally to prevent the AllSpark from falling into their clutches.
Chris Ryall has posted some line art from Transformers Spotlight: Wheelie. Drawn by Klaus Scherwinski, better known for his great colouring, it shows some sort of action scene with a small Wheelie struggling in typical fashion.
Check back next week when Klaus will show off his variant cover, hopefully in full colour.
July looks like a good month for Transformers comic fans, with 8 titles for IDW Publishing, ranging from the Transformers Movie Sequel, main continuity stories to classic and modern reprints.
First up is Transformers Spotlight: Hardhead, the second part of the Revelations saga, following on from Spotlight: Cyclonus in June, and continuing the main Generation One story. Also in this continuity is The Transformers: All Hail Megatron #1, the start of the 12 issues series, picking up the story 1 year later.
There are 2 Transformers movie based comics, Transformers Movie Sequel: The Reign of Starscream #4, continuing the events after the first movie and Transformers Movie Prequel UK #1, which is a reprint of the first 2 issues of Titan’s Transformers UK comic, which started in July 2007.
The Transformers: The Ark, Volume 2 compiles more rare images, this time from Japan, specifically the Headmasters, Super-God Masterforce, Victory, Zone, Battlestars, and Operation Combination series.
Transformers Best of the UK: Space Pirates #5 is the last collection of the original Marvel UK Space Pirates story, whilst Classic Transformers, Volume 2 collects issues 17-20 of the Marvel US series.
Finally The Transformers Animated, Volume 4 is a comic presentation of the cartoon series, again using frames from the cartoon to bring the story to life.
The full solicitations can be found here.
IESB.net has posted an article with rumours about the new Deceptions contingent and the human cast.
N.B. The following paragraph contains lots of potential spoilers so only read ahead if you’re not bothered.
The Constructicons, consisting of Scrapper, Scavenger, Mixmaster, Hook, Long Haul and Bonecrusher (but not the same Boncrusher as in the first film), will all be appearing, as well as Devastator, but not the same Devastator as in the first film (beginning to see problems?) in the film.
They have also posted the full human speaking cast list, with details of each characters race, sex and age. The full details can be found here.
Some new photos of Autobots being transported across the USA have been uploaded onto the internet, this time of Ratchet and Ironhide.
The sighting was made in Culver City, the same location as Optimus Prime, which could be a shooting location of Transformers 2.
IDW editor Denton J. Tipton has posted a 5 page preview, and the cover, on the Transformers Movie Sequel: Reign of Starscream #1 on his blog.
Due to the size of the images, some of the detail may be hard to see. Luckily artist Alex Milne has posted high-res copies of these pages (without text) on his Deviant Art page.
BotCon.com has been updated with a 3 page preview for the REAL BotCon 2008 convention comic. The 24 page comic will be available at the convention on 24th-27th April and probably later in the year to everyone else.
Art is done by Don Figueroa and Espen Grundetjern.
The Sedona Film Commission website are reporting that inquiries have been made for Transformers 2 to be filmed in Sedona, Arizona.
There isn’t any confirmation on if the City has been choosen by Michael Bay, but it may give an idea on the type of location that he is looking for.
A day late, but here are the comic releases this week. There is only one, at it is a Marvel UK reprint, Transformers Best of the UK: Dinobots #6. Don’t worry, there are lots more comics coming out later this month, in the form of the Movie Sequel, Spotlight: Grimlock and other Marvel UK reprints.
It seems that Transformers 2 is starting to shape up with a sighting on SuperHeroHype of Optimus Prime on the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles, probably on move to a set somewhere.
Paramount and Dreamworks haven’t confirmed the production of the movie yet, but given all the recent sightings of Transformers vehicles, it’s only a matter of time.
