Hasbro have, unsuprisingly, posted their support for Fun Publications after the recent credit card issues. The official statement reads as follows
To the G.I. Joe and Transformers fan communities and Fun Publications customers,
Thank you for bringing your concern to our attention and for giving Hasbro the opportunity to respond to a matter that impacts its G.I. Joe and Transformers brands. Please know we take all consumer concerns very seriously and are in regular contact with Fun Publications (our licensee) about the possibility of a breach in security to their online purchasing system for the G.I. Joe and Transformers Collectors' Clubs. Fun Publications is also taking this matter very seriously and is diligently working at identifying any problems, the number of customers affected and ways to ensure it does not happen to any more customers. Hasbro wants consumers to have a positive experience at all touch points for its brands, including transactions with its licensees. As such, we are confident that Fun Publications has detailed instructions and pertinent information available for those consumers who believe they may have been targeted by credit theft via their portals.
Based on our extensive conversations with the Fun Publications team Hasbro wants to convey the following to the fan communities:
Fun Publications has assured us that they are taking necessary measures to curb additional issues, and they are working with third party experts to identify the problem. They anticipate knowing and communicating the cause of the breach as soon as possible to those affected.
-- They believe that the number of customers affected is low relative to the volume of sales transactions made.
-- However, if you believe fraudulent charges have been made to your credit card after making a purchase with any portals for the G.I. Joe or Transformers Collectors' Clubs, we urge you to contact Fun Publications immediately and provide them with the information requested at https://www.transformersclub.com/tccccinfo.cfm or GIJOECLUB.COM - The Official G.I. Joe Collectors' Club! by using the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of these pages.
-- Fun Publications can also be reached at the following number for additional consumer affairs inquiries relating to the G.I. Joe and Transformers Collectors' Clubs at (817) 448-9863 during regular business hours.
-- As more information becomes available, they will be contacting all affected customers who have notified them about the issue.
Thank you again to all of the fans of our Transformers and G.I. Joe brands for their continued support and for the opportunity to respond to this matter.
Sincerely,
Joe Moscone on behalf of Hasbro, Inc.
It is a shame Fun Pubs ignored an email from us a few years back when we pointed out flaws in their security systems which we found whilst buying items.
Today we feature the entertaining Jointrons, DJ, Motorarm and Gimlet, who combine to form Tripledicus (the Japanese version of Tripredacus) in our Beast Wars II episode focus.
When a strange ship crashes onto Planet Gaea, the Destrons and Cybertrons rush to investigate, only to be welcomed by a towering robotic giant! just who's side will this feasome creature be on?

In case you had forgotten, we are just 5 days away from Roll Out Roll Call 2012 (the third installment of the GI-Joe / Transformers Convention, and Simon Furman has updated his blog regarding the event.
Barely have I gathered my thoughts and gear after London Super Comic Con than I’m off again. A week from now I’ll be heading to Southampton for Roll Out, Roll Call 3, the all-singing, all-dancing Transformers/G.I. Joe/Action Force event, which runs across the weekend of 10th & 11th March.
I’ll be there along with the likes of fellow Regeneration One creatives Andrew Wildman and Jean-Paul Bove, the god of G.I. Joe Larry Hama, Jim Sorenson & Bill Foster (the Allspark Almanac gurus) and many more. It promises to be a simply amazing weekend.
As well as signing/selling original scripts (largely unpublished), comics and more, all weekend, I’ll be taking part in a dedicated Q&A session (where more dirt on Regeneration One is bound to get dished) and presenting a special Transformers script-to-page presentation, featuring the art of fan favourite Nick Roche. The presentation is capped by a special gallery section featuring rare (again, often unpublished) art from the likes of EJ Su, Don Figueroa, Alex Milne and more. And in addition, there’ll be a permanent display of Transformers (and Action Force) original art from my own personal collection to enjoy.
If you can, get yourself along. It’s sure to be blast. For more details and how to order tickets, check out the All the Cool Stuff website here.
To make up for the last few days of missing Beast Wars II Cartoon Image Galleries, we've now posted a quock catch up of 4 galleries, covering episodes 10 to 13, featuring over 1200 new Transformers Beast Wars II images
The Destrons continue in their attempts to recreuit the Insectons as warriors to their cause, this time it's the turn of the Autorollers. Unknown to the Cybertrons, the Autorollers and Insectrons have history, when Autocrusher and his crew previously saved BigMoss. Using this as leverage, the Autorollers and the Insectrons team up.
Following on nicely from the previous episode is more Autoroller and Insectron goodness, though this episode also focuses on the friendship between Tasmania Kid and Scissor Boy. Once again though very little is seen of Autolauncher
Episode 12 continues with the Autoroller theme, this time actually including the fourth member, Autolauncher. In this episode teh Autorollers are building a refining station when Scuba stumbeles upon them. At fisrt the Autorolllers go to attack Scuba, but after the interferance of Starscream and BB, along with a rampage from Galvatron, the Autorollers team up with the Cybertrons to stop the rampaging Galvatron
A nice way to round off today's Beast Wars II catch up is with the first of the "Catch-up" episodes. Moon and Artimus discuss the recent events on Gaia, with the Insectrons turning up and the suprising history between them and the Autorollers.
