Knock-Off Transformers maker CHMS, who use to supply KO-Toys with their fake Transformers Classics / Universe / Henkei molds, have announced that they will be producing more fake figures based on the Transformers Classics Sideswipe figure.
The toys they will produce, mock-ups shown below, will be the TFCC Exclusive Punch/CounterPunch, the Botcon exclusive G2 Breakdown as well as two new recolours, a G1 coloured Breakdown and a Scamper (the small black car that came with Metroplex).
Fub Publications have sent out the following email notifications to all Botcon attendees as well as Club Members
To all BotCon attendees who are holding current reservations: There was a glitch in the hotel's reservation system as it was supposed to be taking one night's deposit when your made your reservation.
Per our contract with the hotel, they need to take this deposit by charging everyone's credit card for the first night's room and tax.
In order not to impact anyone's Christmas shopping, I have asked them to hold off making the charge until January 3, 2012.
In addition, this deposit will be refundable until April 9, 2012. If you cancel after April 9, 2012 your deposit will NOT be refunded.
If you are holding any rooms "in case someone needs them" we ask you to either turn the reservation over to another party, or to release them by January 2, 2012, as we still have other attendees who need to make room reservations. Again, all rooms being held will have a one night's deposit charged on January 3, 2012.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Thanks for your support,
Brian

Jim Sorenson updated his blog on Tuesday with a new Ark Addendum entitled Ratbat's Transform. As you can probably guess from the title, the article focuses on the transformation sequence for the Generation One Decepticon cassette Ratbat.
Here's an update from Jim, "this week I finish up my cassette transformations. I give you... Ratbat! It's a simple transformation. He basically unfolds, much like the toy. The big difference is that his weapons pop out of his back, instead of being attached manually. And one final reminder: we've got a book signing for The AllSpark Almanac Addendum this Saturday at Emerald Knights Comics & Games in Burbank. 1:00 PM on December 10th.4116 W.
