Prepare to Experience the World of TRANSFORMERS PRIME!
TRANSFORMERS PRIME – DARKNESS RISING
A 5-Part Original Miniseries
Hitting Home Entertainment Shelves Nationwide
OWN IT ON DVD DECEMBER 6, 2011
FROM SHOUT! FACTORY
“MEGATRON has not been seen nor heard from in sometime, and if his
return is imminent, it could be catastrophic,” said OPTIMUS PRIME.
The lure of the TRANSFORMERS saga starts a new chapter as all foes
return, legendary heroes rise, and new ones are found in unlikely
places. The new CGI animated series TRANSFORMERS PRIME which currently
airs on The Hub television network and is a Hasbro Studios production,
deepens the epic mythology of both the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS, while
starting fresh for a new generation of fans. Arch rivals the AUTOBOTS
and the evil DECEPTICONS, lead by MEGATRON once again face-off in their
rivalry for control of Earth in this new show. Celebrate the triumphant
return of the AUTOBOTS through cutting-edge CGI animation with
TRANSFORMERS PRIME – DARKNESS RISING. Early 2011, loyal TRANSFORMERS
fans, as well as families and kids, were introduced to this visually
stunning five-part miniseries on The Hub. OPTIMUS PRIME, BUMBLEBEE,
ARCEE, AUTOBOT RATCHET, BULKHEAD, and many others are back to "roll out"
against MEGATRON's latest attempt to conquer Earth. And MEGATRON proves
to be more powerful than ever, having acquired a rare element that
allows him mastery over life itself. OPTIMUS PRIME and the AUTBOTS may
be few against the DECEPTICON hordes, but they find increased strength
through bonds forged with three human teenagers, taking the human drama
to levels as yet unseen by the franchise.
On December 6, 2011, Shout! Factory, in collaboration with Hasbro, Inc,
will release TRANSFORMERS PRIME – DARKNESS RISING DVD, featuring the
entire five action-packed episodes and bonus content. Delivering a new
level of heavy metal action and family entertainment for all ages, this
highly collectible DVD is priced to own with a suggested retail price of
$14.97.

including Peter Cullen, Frank Welker, Steve Blum, Jeffrey Combs, Dwayne
Johnson, among other notables. TRANSFORMERS PRIME is produced by Hasbro
Studios. Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Jeff Kline are executive

TFormers have an image, and description, of The Allspark Vault from the Transformers The Ride thanks to Resort World.
"The final shard is protected deep inside the NEST facility where you’ll arrive for duty. It is your mission, with the help of the AUTOBOTS as a recruit of NEST to protect this from the DECEPTICONS.
The ALLSPARK, which used to be a large cube of energy, can create life from mechanical objects and was the origin of life on Cybertron – home of the TRANSFORMERS. MEGATRON, the leader of the DECEPTICONS is after it to transform machines into an invincible army, and take over Earth.
The Ultimate 3D Battle is all set to begin. Stay tuned to this blog for more exclusives of TRANSFORMERS The Ride.

![Transformers Convention News](http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/images/news/category/transformers-convention-news.png)
There were a lot of discussions about this after the Auto Assembly 2011 to see what we could do to get the 3rd Party toys back at Auto Assembly. Well here's the official word.
For the last few years we have had an official policy here at Auto
Assembly regarding the sale of unofficial and third party products at
the convention. We know that many of our dealers do stock a wide range
of third party produced toys and toy upgrades, and a growing number of
fans do collect these alternatives to Hasbro and Takara Tomy produced
products so there is a genuine demand for them at Auto Assembly.
Since Auto Assembly 2011, we have been looking at this carefully and
we are going to be revising this policy extensively for Auto Assembly
2012 and we hope to be announcing details this week of a new policy
which we believe will be much fairer to dealers and attendees
alike, ensuring that a much wider range of third party products will be
on sale at Auto Assembly 2012. There will still be some products that
will be on our “banned” list which are in direct breach of Hasbro or
Takara Tomy’s trademarks / copyrights, but we are convinced that
everyone will be happy with what we will be announcing!
Don’t forget, Dealer Table bookings are open now for Auto Assembly
2012 and with table prices at our lowest rate for years and with cheaper
hotel rates than ever before, there’s never been a better time to come
along and trade at Auto Assembly!

Hi, you might remember the Fort Max that was on the Toy Fu stall at Auto Assembly. It's now gone on ebay, with all proceeds from the auction going to the charity Mary's Meals. There's more details on the auction itself, I thought you might be interested in publicising this given that it is a good cause.
