Speaking about the licence, Thumbs Up�s Business Development Director, Wojtek Kolan said �We were delighted that Hasbro awarded us the �Transfomers the Movie� licence for our products.

Several major retail chains have already signed up to stock our Transformers lines, which will offer several unique selling points when compared to typical licensed items.�

The Transformers products from Thumbs Up are set to be huge and are already causing a stir! When representatives of Thumbs Up attended a recent preview screening of footage from the movie wearing the light-up t-shirts, they couldn�t have got more attention, with journalists and Transformers fans alike asking about them.

The Thumbs Up office also received a flood of enquires about the t-shirts after this first public debut. Everyone wanted to know where they could buy them, and Empire magazine even put out a request on their website which said �To the people in the light-up Transformers T-shirts Where did you get those?

TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE PREQUEL Comic Books Kick Off The Blockbuster Event of ’07!

San Diego, CA (December 20, 2006)- IDW Publishing’s TRANSFORMERS’ universe has spanned from modern-day Earth (The Transformers Infiltration and Escalation) to the far-flung planet of CYBERTRON (The Transformers Stormbringer) and many light-years of time and space in-between.

Anne Bryant sues Sunbow and BMI

Written by admin on December 7, 2006 | Cartoon,News,Press Release |

Anne Bryant, composer, is suing Sunbow, owned by TV Loonland, for royalties owed from her music themes being used

*** PRESS RELEASE ***

December 7, 2006, Carmel, NY

After six years of grueling litigation and four appeals which were won by her in 2006, the composer of the well-known Transformers Theme, The JEM Theme and feature songs from the JEM TV SHOW, and several other American, pop culture musical themes and songs originally composed in the 80�s for HASBRO Toys and Entertainment Properties, is finally getting her days in Court at trial in a tiny courtroom in New York Supreme Court in Carmel, NY. Anne Bryant, the composer, is seeking to recover an accounting of and payment of both performance and publishing royalties she claims should be paid to her from the producer-publisher, SUNBOW PRODUCTIONS, NY [which is now owned by its parent company LOONLAND AG, Germany] for millions of CD, VHS and DVD sales and licenses which she says use her music without paying her the royalties she says she is owed. On the eve of the December 4th trial, Bryant says she suddenly received a small check from TV Loonland for “music royalties” but Bryant says, although it is an admission of responsibility, it is a mere drop in the bucket.

The composer is also suing her performing rights society BMI claiming among other things that it allowed changes to be made to her song catalog without her authorization.

According to Bryant, the long road to trial began when she discovered that her 100% composer�s share of the hugely valuable Transformers Theme music had been reduced to a small fraction in her BMI writer�s catalogue. BMI�s counsel, Judith Saffer argues that it is not possible for BMI to police the catalogues of its many affiliated writers because they have no way of knowing if the new registrations they accept for the same title are accurate. In Saffer� view, it�s up to the BMI writer to bring a court action against another writer if there is an infringement. Bryant says that BMI�s stated position is to remain neutral but then asks why BMI would not protect its writers by at least checking with the original registrant when a song with the same title is later presented for registration. “Others are being unjustly enriched by my music,” says the composer. “It appears to me that BMI writers cannot expect their works to be safeguarded by BMI”- a performance rights organization that represents more than 300,000 affiliated songwriters, composers and publishers. The composer also claims that because of BMI�s laissez faire position, these corrupted registrations have diminished her writer�s royalties across the board, finding their way into her SONY ATV catalogue, after Sunbow passed on the altered publishing catalogues to the mega-publisher. Bryant also claims that she is not given credit for her songs in three newlyproduced Transformers television series airing on The Cartoon Network.

The composer hopes to be made whole for the millions of dollars in back royalties due to her since 1994 for her many valuable themes. And with the DreamWorks TRANSFORMERS LIVE ACTION MOVIE [#1] scheduled for release on July 4, 2007, she also seeks to secure her professional screen credits, in the event that the Dreamworks movie uses her theme.

Bryant has been represented by Patrick J. Monaghan of Monaghan, Monaghan, Lamb & Marchisio a small New Jersey and New York firm. Monaghan has represented and won settlements in the past on behalf of the former managers of the artists Meat Loaf and Billy Joel in separate cases. Sunbow is represented by Gloria Phares, Esq. a partner in the New York law firm of Patterson, Belknap, & Webb. BMI is represented by its in-house counsel Judith Saffer, Esq. Bryant says she will sue anyone who is using her music without authority. “The Transformers best days are yet to come,” she says. “I look to the Court to achieve justice and secure accurate royalty accountings and payments to me in the future.” I have faith in the American judicial system and I am not going to be cowed into submission by a huge corporation with millions to spend on lawyers.

Written by admin on May 24, 2006 | Auto Assembly,Conventions,News,Press Release |

With just ten days to go before Auto Assembly Target 2006 on 3rd June in Birmingham, England we thought we’d bring you a reminder of some of the activities taking place for those of you still undecided about whether or not to attend this year’s convention as well as some news on a few more developments…We have a great guest line-up headlined by none other than DAVID KAYE, the voice of Megatron for the last ten years! Backing him up is legendary Transformers writer Simon Furman and our array of super artists – Andrew Wildman, Lee Sullivan, Geoff Senior, Guido Guidi, Simon Williams, Jasno Cardy and Mike Collins!We also have a massive range of dealers who will have a superb range of Transformers toys and merchandise on offer ranging from vintage G1 toys up to the latest releases. There will be plenty of bargains to be had including massive discounts on a range of graphic novels from Titan Books through the Auto Assembly registration desk, some great items from Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman, and a few of the dealers present will even be running free prize draws to win some great toys!!

But it’s not just about guests and dealers… we will have a massive art display showcasing artwork from Transformers comics throughout the years including the original UK Marvel titles, Dreamwave, Panini, 3H, along with original toy box art and artwork we have commissioned from top transformers artists for our own convention exclusive postcards and magazines. Featured artists will include Andrew Wildman, Guido Guidi, Dan Khanna, Lee Sullivan, Simon Williams, Jeff Anderson and more! Next to that will be our traditional toy display.

Not content with that, there will be video screenings throughout the day, the unique fan consultation event being undertaken by the British company making a new Transformers product throughout the day, a bar, plenty of chances for you to catch up with old friends (or make new ones!), competitions, and our charity fundraising activities including a raffle and auction…

The charity auction this year is looking fantastic and we have some wonderful items up for grabs. We have autographs from (amongst others) Dan Gilvezan (G1 – Bumblebee), Mike McConnohie (G1 – Tracks, Cosmos; RiD – Ironhide, Hotshot), Neil Ross (G1- Slag, Springer etc), Wally Wingert (RiD – Sideburn, Mirage), and Neil Kaplan (RiD – Prime), original artwork from Andrew Wildman, Guido Guidi, Lee Sullivan, and Simon Williams, signed comics, a signed script to GI Joe vs Transformers The Art Of War #4, and the two highlights of this year’s auction… personalised voice mail recordings from Mike McConnohie and David Sobolov (BW – Depth Charge)!

But that’s not all… we’ve had more great news regarding the goodie bag this year and even though we’ve only got a few days to go before the convention, we’ve just added ANOTHER free gift for attendees!! Thanks to Transformers DVD producers Metrodome, we’ll be including postcards in packs for the first 400 or so attendees at the convention. We don’t know exactly how many we will have but as these are limited you only have a few days left to have a chance to get your hands on these if you haven’t already booked! The postcards are some of the ones that have been included in the DVD box sets but they’re a great extra if you don’t already have them.

Also, thanks to Metrodome, we will be getting a selection of DVD box sets that we will be giving away in the raffle, for prizes in our competitions and some rare DVD test discs from some of their box sets in the auction including – for the first time ever – Transformers Masterforce!!

We DO have places available for you to pre-register and you still have time to get the Metrodome goodies but you’ll need to book quickly! As we have said before, we are likely to have on-the-door places but we don’t know how many so pre-registration is the best way to guarantee admission, especially if you have a long way to travel!

With just TEN DAYS to go, you’ve only got a few days to make up your mind about whether you want to attend Auto Assembly Target 2006 so book online now at www.autoassembly.org.uk and we hope to see you next weekend!

Simon and Sven,
