Thanks to Snakas and Amazon.co.jp we have learned that Million Publishing are producing more Transformers Generations books this year. Transformers Generations 2011 Volume 1 is set for release on April 26th, though thus far no information no what it will contain has been released. It is assumed that the next few issues of the collections magazines, such as Figure King (Figure Oh) and Hyper Hobby will detail out the book.

I thought I would take a few minutes to remind you all about two comic related things that are happening at the moment. First up on Thursday 24th March 2011 Death's Head will return in the pages of Marvel Heroes issue 33 that will be available from all good stockists, and plenty of bad ones. So make sure to pick it up and show Marvel that not only do you want to see Death's Head return in comic format, but also to support the work put in by the two Simon's, Simon Furman and Simon Williams for making his return possible.
Secondly do not forget to drop by HomelandSecuityTheater.com for more web comic hilarity from the one and only Bill "he really does look like Monkeywrench" Forster. If you have been lucky enough to sit down and talk to Bill then you know that he has seen a lot in his life so far, and now he is sharing part of his life as the basis of his own web comic which is updated three times a week.

The loose sets of the Botcon 2011 exclusive figures have not officially sold out. In an email update to registrants, Fub Publications also confirmed that both Custom Class have also sold out. With the event selling well despite the problems with the registration system, this is great news for the future of the convention as if demand continues to grow the number of guest and exclusives could also grow in future years

With about 12 hours past since registration for BotCon 2011was opened, BotCon have tweeted that they are over 50% sold out of the Iacon and Primus packages.
They stated that this year they made "more sets than ever", and thus far (to my knowledge) only one leaked BotCon 2011 figure (Deadend) has been seen outside of the BotCon website.

Kapow Toys have posted some images and review of Transformers Generations Warpath. We pre-ordered outs from them, and am looking forward to it's arrival.
Generations Warpath
Also uploaded to the blog here for bigger images - http://kapowtoys.blogspot.com/2011/0...s-warpath.html
Kinda sad he is the last for a while but damn is he an awesome one!
His tank mode blatantly looks like the HALO scorpion which is no bad
thing, he has the usual tiny wheels built into the solid treads and
rolls freely, the turret also pivots nice and smooth with the 2 flip out
cannons nicely settled to the rear.
In bot mode he has a great range of articulation and feels really solid,
the transformation is nice and easy with the only complaint being the
length of the missle trailing out from his back, this can easily be
fixed with some wire cutters and sandpaper if desired.
Overall 9/10 - heres hoping Generations isnt on hiatus for too long, I need more geewun style goodness!

On the 6th March in Fordinghambridge, Hampshire the UK's first Transformers convention took place in the form of Roll Out Roll Call 2. The event, which is a Transformers - Action Force cross themed event was a small but a lot of fun. As part of the event the organisers, All The Cool Stuff, commissioned an exclusive new Pretender based on an Action Force figure called The Kraken, which you can see here at YoJoe.com. The toy was not available at the event due to the maker actually being injured whilst making it! The toy is officially known as The Kraken Bio-Armour, and you can view the gallery, which contains some size comparison with various Pretenders including MetalHawk and BlackShadowhere.
