Simon Furman has updated his blog to with a follow-up to his script wrap for Aftermath part 1 and 2 with news of the artist for those issues, Gary Erskine. As a bonus, he has also provided two pages from the issues.
Aftermath Parts 1 and 2 make up issues #14 and #15 of Titan’s Transformers UK comic series, due out in July and August.
Paramount Home Entertainment have already announced the release of the Transformers: Animated movie on DVD for North America, Germany and Australia, but they have now released the first bits of info for the UK.
All we know so far is that we are getting it on 4th August, 2 months after North America, for a RRP of £12.99, but be sure to look for it cheaper. Other details haven’t been confirmed, but expect it to be the same as the other versions, unless Paramount HE have any other bright ideas.
Great news everyone, Mr Dogworm of Seibertron.com has spotted Cybertron Primus in Dominoes for £49.99, and here is what he had to say:
I’m a weak, weak man

It’s the non-Unicron version by the way. I didn’t want it, but seeing it in the plastic just melted away my composure. That’s the best pic I could get of the receipt, though if anyone really wants me to I could scan it. Price was £49.99.
Primus is in US packaging, complete with boxart. HOWEVER- it isn’t an import, it came directly from Hasbro UK. It came the shame shipment as Skyshadow, Wing Sabre (okay, I’ll give you the space, by not the inelegant yank spelling
) and the SWTF Millienuim Falcon. It is worth noting that the Supreme Starscreams I saw in TRU were also in US packaging with boxart, so maybe Hasbro are just importing them? Do they sell Supremes on the continent?
It seems that Hasbro UK have completely axed the tech specs from the their boxes. Wing Sabre and Skyshadow just have their features listed in 12 (!) different languages.
The BBFC have (finally) rated all 42 episodes of Metrodome’s Transformers The Takara Collection Vol 2 Super-God Masterforce, due out on DVD on 3rd July only in the UK. The work was rated PG, passed with NO cuts and came in at 967 minutes and 13 seconds (thats over 16 hours of Transformers action). This includes the subtitles. You can also see the newly translated episode titles.
Play.com now have wave 1 of the Classics Deluxes in stock. These include Starscream, Rodimus and Bumblebee. There is no listing for Astrotrain, but hopefully he will appear soon. Each are available for £12.99 (over twice the amount they cost in the USA).
structuraldefect of Seibertron has picked up Classics Optimus Prime from Argos for £14.99, even though he isn’t in the catalogue. Now, many of you will think that this is just a mistake by Argos, but Play.com also have Classics Optimus Prime IN STOCK for £17.99 as is MEGATRON for £19.99. So it seems Classics have reached the UK 1 MONTH AFTER THE USA.
Thanks to forum member knook for the news.
For all recent UK toy releases, see this list.
Toysrus.co.uk have updated their site with the 3 latest G1 reissues to hit the UK. They are Red Alert, Skywarp and Tracks, which all first appeared in September. Each cost £14.99.
OK, it’s spelt Transformers, but Woolworths have a sale on all Transformers toys in store and online. I won’t go into details on what they have in stock, just visit this page now.
Earlier this month, forum member starscream_85 sighted Alternators Decepticharge in a Toymaster in Bude in European packaging for £19.99. Now Royal Prime has spotted Decepticharge in a shop called Bentals in Bracknell for £19.95, again in European packaging with a picture of the toy on the box.
