New Aniamted Designs


Article By Destron23

S250 of tfw2005, has uploaded a sneak peak at some more animated designs. They are of Grandus's alt-mode and Flareup. Grandus was hinted to appear in the show, but Flareup is a complete surprise. If all info is correct, Grandus is schedueled to appear in episode 39, and Flareup in episode 38 (next week).

They look really good! I'm surprised Grandus will transform in the show, considering how he's basically a platform. I'm really surprised Flareup will be in. I wonder if the reason she's showing up for is because she appeared in the Bee in the city script read at Botcon 2008. Overall, can't wait to see them!

Forget the Prime Trailers, This is Full Scale Custom War!

News Article by James-

Seibertron.com have had the chance to interview a member of FansProject, and with them a whole host of new projects! The main ones to look forward to in my own opinion include:

- The previously known Protector Upgrade Set (Classics Hot Rod to Rodimus Prime)

- Their first ever fully functional figure, Defender (aka Springer)

- Their second figure, Collector (aka Wreck-Gar)

- Their third figure, ??? (Broadside)

To see the other projects and the whole interview, click the link:http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/seibertron-exclusive-sit-down-interview-with-fansproject-pictures-included/15700/.

The only given release dates were tentative; Universe Classics Superion Limb Set and Protector Upgrade Set for June and "end of the year" respectively, while Springer and Wreck-Gar should see the light in the first quarter of 2010. Also to be note dis that Min-Megs has been canceled

One word describes my excitement for some of these... AWESOME!!!

Human Error Part 2 Online


Article By Destron23

The new animated episode is out, recaping the events in the previous episode. The one major part of this episode, is that we see many cameos!






This episode was great! Let's see who we've had for cameos: Scrapper, Dinobots, White Soundwave, Soundblaster, Laserbeak, Ratbat and Wreck-Gar! It was very nice to see the return of these guys! Snarl's story was hillarious! He betrayed the Dinobots to live as a pet for Scrapper, and Scrapper was the one to nae him Snarl, but he was going to name him Slag! I guess this means that only Swoop is without a name in this show, and I wish him and Snarl would talk for once! I also wonder where the other Constructicons may be, it seems that Scrapper was by himself for quite some time.

Remember this game guys? Good times. Well, you'll be pleased to know that something like this might be hitting our consoles next year! High Moon Studios who are now in command of the game franchise have stated that they want to make Transformers and annual thing, and NOT just based on the movie.

G3 TRAILER PRE-ORDER UP!!!!

News Article by James-

FINALLY... A PRICE!!!!! TFSource have put up the first pre-order for FansProject's latest set at...$79.99....bang...So, what makes this thing worth so much? Four weapons, transformable medical bay, Rollar, plus it's freakin huge! What is to be note that this is much more limited than City Commander, so we can assume around the same production lot as Shadow Commander which still isn't sold out.

Mmmmm. That's around £53 for me... OK, I'll wish to purchase it. If you head over to the forums, you can vote for which Transformers I get from online is going to be purchased or indeed pre-ordered in Summer half-term, four weeks away, guess who's made the list?

Device Label Revealed!

News Article by James-

First off, I wish to apologise on how we have not been keeping "updating". School hits hard man.

So, following in the money-destroying footsteps of the way over-priced Chrono Label, Device Label sees real working computer devices! Characters include a proper looking version of G1 Blaster who turns into a USB Hub ($59.99), Beast Wars Dinobot (dino mode only) and G1 Overkill who turn into laser mice (both $59.99), and finally G1 Ravage and Beast Wars Tigatron (tiger mode only) who turn into 2GB USB Sticks (both $42.99). All of these pre-orders are available on BBTS where you can also see the other concept images.

Man that Blaster is looking pretty good for me. If he goes up to Deluxe size, I'm sold. Getting a proper sized Overkill looks also nice, but seriously, these are quite overpriced. There's Japan for you.

Human Error Part 1 Online!


Article By Destron23

The new TFA episode is up! This episode is a two parter featuring the return of Sari and Soundwave, and is set on Christmas day! Hurry and check out this week's new episode!





This was a very good episode! Not as good as Predacons Rising, but maybe my opinion will change once we've seen part 2. I like all the human forms except for Bulkhead's. When we started seeing all the decepticons and Cybertron closing in on Earth, I thought the whole show had gone INSANE! Also we get to see Marty Isenberg and Cancer in Burger Bot, and we get to see a white music label/ shattered glass Soundwave! And we finally get to see the return of Soundwave and his two minions, Ratbat and Laserbeak! And when we saw Optimus's red eye at the end, I thought that this could be a way to introduce Nemesis Prime to the series if the writers wanted to.

News Article by: TransformerAreCool and Patrick Cuddy

Transformers Aniamted: Predacons Rising Online


Article By Destron23

The new aniamted episode is online for those of you who haven't catched it on Cartoon Network. This episode in particular was written by Bob Forward and Laryy DiTillio, the writers for Beast Wars! They do an excellent job, and MANY hommages are made in this episode.



Greatest Episode of Animated thus far!

Wow! Blackarachnia under the mask! Wish she would have put it back on though because I really enjoy her Beast Wars look. I wish we could see her again, though I doubt it. I would like to see how she interacts with the other established Decepticons and how she was accepted into Megatron's team.

Again, aniamted toys are horrible with scale! That Waspinator in the show was almost twice the size of Blackarachnia, and the toy is smaller than Bumblebee!

Nice to see Prowl kept his armour!

I was also expecting us to see a flashback of how Optimus got out of the Elite Guard.

Sentinel's reaction was cruel to Blackarachnia. You can definetly see contrasts between how Optimus met Blackarachnia and how Sentinel did. Optimus seemed to care for BA, and said he would help her, whereas Sentinel wanted to kill her!

Does Optimus saying that Sentinel's a good leader, lead to foreshadowig? I would hate to see a Sentinel Magnus instead of a Rodimus Magnus or Optimus Magnus. I really don't think he's suited to lead the Autobots, especially with his close minded actions to others like BA.

Nice to see the Dinobots weren't slaged by the Constructicons. And Jetstorm and Jetfire took them down pretty easily.

I liked the Wasp/ Waspinator apology seen. This Waspinator seems a lot more monstrous and confident then our last Waspinator from Beast Wars. I wish he was smaller though, and his colours are much more vibrant in the show. I wish he had kept his Wap voice, now it just sounds like Tom Kenny was immitating a monster. Loved the ending and how he was able to reconstruct himself like in Beast Wars. Waspinator has plans!

And that part with Wasp trapped in the transwarp pod, was very disturbing. Horrific scream of madness! That's one of the good thing about season 3, the darkness of it all while still keeping the show's primary tone.

To further the darkness of S3, each episode after transwarped has been featured at night.

Great ending! Blackarachnia meets the Maximals! Too bad there's no such animal as Silverbolt's fuzor mode.

Let's see from what we saw on Wyatt's collage, we still need to see Cancer, Powell, popsicle and Laserbeak.

Rebenge of The Fallen Barricade and Smokescreen


Article By Destron23

Genzhao of the tfw2005 boards has posted two galleries of the new ROTF Barricade and Smokescreen. Barricade's gallery can be viewed here and Smokescreen's gallery (no robot mode pictures) can be viewed here.

I'm not sure if these guys are worth picking up. I like Barricade's claw-light thingies but that's pretty much the only difference between him and the original, even the face is the same, and it's not coloured in premium colours. While Smokescreen's colours look cool, I wasn't a fan of the Jazz mold and we don't even know if he has a new head.

More Pictures of New ROTF Megatron


Article by Destron23

TF08 has released more images of the new Megatron, confirmed to be a voyager. The gallery of images can be viewed by clicking here.

Is it just me, or does the voyager Megatron look a million times better than the leader? I mean he has a better robot mode, normal arms, and has an even better tank mode! I will definetly be picking up both, but this one is my favourite. I bet the leader looks the way he does is ecause the toy is sacrificed for the gimmick. The one thing that I don't like about this Megaton is that his lips are coloured orange which is pretty random. Is it just me, or does his tank mode look a little like TFA Blitzwing's tank mode?

HASBRO!!!), Zaur (Autobot cassette from Headmasters), Slapper (RID frog), Sundor (Blaster's answer to Laserbeak), Flip-Sides (In this time line, a mini-Shockwave who doesn't remember who her Decepticon self is like), Target Exclusive Shockwave (oh please), and finally... INTERNET PERSONALITY VANGELUS!!

mmmm.... I doubt that Shockwave and Slapper won't come into it. I also have my doubts about Huffer and Pipes, but they do remind me of Mario and Luigi....Personally, I think Vangelus has got a good chance of getting in there.
