Thanks go to Omega Stoopreme for the news

I have updated the Media section of the website to contain a episode summary and complete image gallery from the latest episode of Transformers Prime, Episode 25 One Shall Stand Part 2.

The gallery contains over 350 images from the episode at 1280x720 resolution.  If you have not already seen the episode, then its best to avoid the gallery or at least to avoid reading the test that covers the events of the episode.

Don't forget to check out our sister site that is dedicated to Transformers Prime www.transfomers-prime.com

GameStop has posted even more information on Transformers Fall of Cybertron, confirming characters such as Grimlock and the Combaticons.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron transports you to the final days of the planet Cybertron where you will experience the darkest hours of the apocalyptic war between the Autobots and Decepticons. Embark on an adrenaline-fueled journey through a wide range of missions and massive environments designed around each character's unique abilities. With the stakes higher than ever before, you play as a variety of Transformers, including Grimlock's nearly indestructible T-Rex form and the legendary Combaticons forming into the colossal Bruticus. Fight through both sides of the Transformers' most epic battles leading to their legendary exodus from their homeworld. Transformers: Fall of Cybertron allows you to go head-to-head as Autobots and Decepticons with its multi-player online mode. Create your own personalized character and weaponry with the most advanced and in-depth customization ever before seen in a Transformers video game. 

I have added three new image galleries containing scans of September 2011 issue of TV Boy, the October 2011 issue of TV Boy and an old back issue of Figure King (issue 111) to the Media section of the website.

All of the scans are mirrors of thread that were originally posted on ModXToys.com

The Allspark have some very large, blurry, images of concepts for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron characters including Wheeljack, Sunstreaker, Arcee and Megatron.

The images are screen captures from the video tour of High Moon Studios which was posted on GameInformer.com

CM Corp have updated their website with more images of their upcoming PVC Minerva figure which is from their Guttu Kurru series.  Minerva was one of the Headmaster Juniors from Transformers Masterforce where the toy was a recolour of Nightbeat.  The toy, which represents the character in her exo-suit, comes with interchangable faces and stands 185mm.  The 2nd Transformers figure in the series will be Ginrai.  You can view three images below, with the rest available here.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, a direct sequel to 2010 actioner War for Cybertron, is on its way. GameInformer has the scoop but is being stingy with the details, only revealing that High Moon Studios returns on dev duty and that the Activision-published game continues the story of the civil war raging between the Autobots and Decepticons. Its report claims that the title "changes and improves upon so many of the fundamental ideas that the developer considers the game a natural successor rather than a true sequel."
