Thanks to the AllSpark for this amazing awesome find.

Jim Sorenson has updated his blog Disciples of Boltax with a new entry that continues on from last weeks update on Desertion of the Dinobots.  As you could probably guess the entry is titled "The Ark Addendum - Desertion of the Dinobots (part 2)" and contains more character sheets from that episode of the show.

Here's a preview of the article Jim wrote that accompanies the blog entry, but you can find the full post here.

"Part one gave us a nice survey of some Earthly structures.  This time, we had to Cybertron!  We'd previously seen the surface of Cybertron, in episodes like More than Meets the Eye and Divide and Conquer.  This time, we go much deeper, seeing some mining pits and computer screens."

If you look around the internet today you will see lots of fellow Transformers site reporting "breaking news" about Transformers instruction sheets for Dark Sentinel Prime and perhaps DOTM Guzzle.  You won't find that news story on this site today, other than this rather sarcastic entry, as we broke the news about both of these at midday back on Sunday 19th but since a few people are contacting us about this story, we felt that we should publish something to say "yes, we know about it, we already covered it a few day ago". 

Here at Transformers At The Moon we can guarantee you that, 99% of the time, that Hasbro Inc publish new Transformers related instruction sheets, that you will find the news of their existence right here first.  Quite often you will find the actual PDF documents are available via this site before you will find them on Hasbro's own instruction sheet archive as has been the case with the Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Kre-o instruction sheets.
