Seibertron.com have an interview with head Auto Assemly organiser Simon Plumbe covering this years edition of the UK's Largest Transformers convention (Auto Assembly 2011) and next years convention (Auto Assembly 2012) which is proving to potentially be huge. 

Read  up on the convention then book your tickets whilst there are still places.

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.­

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.

The BotCon website has now been updated with the registration form for this years event.

The convention theme is Transformers Animated, with a gift set of the Stunticons.

We told the world about the name Airachnid when Hasbro first applied for a US Trademark, which failed, for the name.  Well now Airachnid is set to make his debut in Transformers Prime, in the episode Predatory.

TVGuide (Americia) lists : Episode Synopsis: Arcee must protect Jack when a routine mission is complicated by Airachnid's arrival

fansproject at www.fansproject.com are doing a fundraiser for the red cross japan earthquake appeal. if you donat at least $15 they will send you a limited to 1500 sidearm repaint called blesser.

so far they have counted over 700 donations and $10.000 in 8 hours.

a worthy cause i think

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!
