HK-TF.com board member Mach has posted several images of the e-Hobby exclusive Transformers United Decepticons. The three pack contains, in case you had forgotten, a clear Galvatron, clear Cyclonus and clear Scourge. The images are not of the highest quality and, since we have a set of both the Cybertrons and Destrons on their way to us at the moment, we have decided not to directly mirror the images here, so if you wish to see them, please visit the original thread here at HK-TF.com

Divide and Conquer - 17th April 2011 (which is a Sunday)
Sick Mind - 29th April April 2011
Out of His Head - 6th May 2011
Shadowzone - 13th May 2011
Keep an eye on the Divide and Conquer date as its likely to be changed to the 22nd April which is the following Friday.
Both sites only contain a small description of the "Sick Mind" episode which MSN describe as "Optimus Prime becomes infected with a Decepticon plague", where as TV Guide contain the description "A Decepticon plague infects Optimus Prime, so Arcee and Bumblebee sneak onto the Nemesis to find the cure".
Jim Sorenson has updated his blog Disciples of Boltax with a new Ark Addendum entry entitled Megatron's Master Plan (e). Here's what Jim had to say about this weeks update
"Just as I started on what I felt was a high point, I wanted to end the same way. The first post in the series,
back in December of 2008, focused on propaganda. We went through some
models of Berger's rocket and some structures in the episode, but I
figured I'd finish off with the models that make up Central City. It
seems to be quite a large metropolis, with a robust skyline, a huge
stadium, a massive city hall, and a fairly contentious political scene.
One wonders if The Flash is around to keep things safe. Sadly, the
futuristic version of this town gets crushed in Five Faces of Darkness
when Metroplex and Trypticon battle. Ah, well, easy come, easy go.I
hope you enjoy this detailed examination of the nearest city to the Ark
as much as I did.
