They also state that Trans-Scanning Sidesipe and Ironhide will be Toys R Us exclusives in the UK.

Dutch Transformers Convetion B.O.T.S has posted a little spiel on this years Dutch Transformers Convention.

Best of all, the new Transformers toy line: Dark of the Moon, will be presented at the convention!

Check out our website: http://www.bots-nl.net for all the information you need.

BotCon have annouced their 8th guest, Michael McConnohie, the voice of Tracks and Cosmos from the original Transformers Cartoon.

KOToys.com have posted the first images of the torso of their upcoming black and gold Seeker, Death Starscream.  The toy will be based on thee-Hobby black and gold Starscream figure from the Collectors Edition line.  You can view two images below of the torso of the figure.   They had two optons and have decided to go for the option on the right with the black band around the waste to break up the gold.

Here is a copy of the latest Auto Assembly Press Release

­

I thought I would bring you a round-up of the Spring / Summer Special updates here at Transformers At The Moon.  In case you have not heard the bothers behind Transformers At The Moon are trying to make a concerted effort to get to updating the content side of the website on a regular basis.  Sadly over the last two years changes in our "real life" situations, especially within our professional lives, have meant that the website had to be put on the back burner. Well we are tired of this and have been collecting and producing lots of new content for you all to consume for the last year but only now are we at a point where we are ready to release it.

Some of the planned updates included more interviews with the cast and crew of Transformers Prime, however those plans were stopped by the heavy hand of Hasbro US late last year and whilst we were trying to come to an arrangement with them to allow us to proceed, sadly communication was broken by Hasbro and so they will never see the light of day.  Another interview we had arranged late last year was with former Transformers and G.I-Joe writer Ron Friedman. This was just before his auctions went on sale, but sadly due to his busy schedule, the interview kept being postponed and has since fallen off the radar.

But those are enough negatives and we launched the start of the Spring / Summer special with some image galleries of paint-samples of the European Transformers Flame and Lightspeed.  So below you will find a list of all of the updates so far.

• Transformers toy image gallery of paint-sample Brainmaster Flame
• Image gallery of the paint-master for Brainmaster Lightspeed.
• European Generation One Classics (Gold Box classics) Sandstorm Prototype (this is actually an FEP, or Final Engineering Pilot).
• Massive Transformers Instruction Sheet archive update featuring instructions of upcoming Transformers Dark of the Moon toys (many of which were not available on Hasbro's own website at the time)
• TV Magazine December 1987 issue - 32 pages scanned
• TV Magazine October 1988 issue - 28 pages scanned

You will find a summary of the lastest Transformers Prime episode, Shadowzone.

This episode focuses on Starscream and the human kids Miko, Jack and Raf.

We will be adding images to the summary a little later today from Transformers Prime Episode 15

Update: You can now find images from the episode with the gallery

­Former MB and Hasbro employee Andy Couzens has placed some more pre-production Transformers items for sale on eBay.  His current auctions are for a pre-production Freeway and an Action Master Soundwave EP.

­

The Freeway is an EP for the European Classics release of the figure which was remoulded to have the indent removed where the rub-sign use to be.  On the final release of the figure, which you can view within our toy gallery section of the website, you will notice that an Autobot sticker was put in place of the early rub-sign.

KOToys have updated their thread on their KO Classics Deepcover figure.  The toy is a recolour of the knock-off Sideswipe mold with new decals and painted up to resemble the e-Hobby exclusive figure.  You can view some mirrored images below.

­­­­­­­­ ­

KOToys.com have announced that the new G1 K/O Reflector box is now available for purchase.  GenZhao posted the following update and images. 

The New G1 KO REFLECTOR BOX is now in stock for the same price as the mailer.  
Glad to be able to offer it for the same price

Mailer is also now back in stock in the store along with a bunch of other G1 KO Reissues that went of stock like Defensor, Superion, Metrotitan, Prowl, Sunstreaker, Scourge, , Sideswipe, Shockwaves, Springer and more

The new Reflector in the Custom G1 Style box can be found here:

We advise that you study the images closely to help you identify the knock-off version from the original official release.­

In an update on KOToys.com regarding a new knock-off Generation One Devastator Mike posted the following update when asked whether he had more information on their release.

"no, not sure about those, the guy who makes these is not very good at communication."

So it could be that those knock-offs have been delayed or maybe even cancelled.  Either way you can find images of the boxes they would come in on that thread.

Both Michael Bay, via his own website, and Paramount Pictures, via TFW2005 have confirmed that the Twins from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Mudflap and Skids will not be appearing in Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

After the internet posting of a nice review by someone who saw Transformers Dark of the Moon, the writer had not been clear on one thing. He misstated that the Twins are in the film. They are not.So I am offering a $25,000 REWARD to anyone who can find them performing in Transformers 3, on July 1, when the movie opens.
