Advertising Age has had a chance to sit down with Hasbro concerning their venture with the Discovery Channel called The Hub to discuss many of the shows. The main news from the article is the annoucment that Peter Cullen will return to a Transformers animated series in the form of Transformers Prime, set to start on the 10th October (10/10/10).
Some of the Hub's most high-profile shows will be updated versions of
well-known Hasbro programs from the 1980s, including "G.I. Joe,"
"Transformers" and "My Little Pony." The latter is being re-imagined
for young girls by "Powerpuff Girls" creator Lauren Faust, while the
new "Transformers Prime" will feature the voice of Peter Cullen, the
original voice of Optimus Prime from the animated series as well as the
Michael Bay-directed feature films. Additionally, "Transformers"
feature screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci will act as
showrunners. "G.I. Joe Renegades" will spotlight the Joes on the lam
from government forces and the agents of Cobra, a storyline that echoes
the recent feature film released by Paramount last summer.
Although little information is known regarding Transformers Prime some are speculating that the show will either be a prequal to the live action Transformers movies, set in the same universe or an "alternative take" on the Movie verse whilst others point to IDW comic series.

Auto Assembly 2010 News Update Episode 5 Released...
Even though an incredible amount of information has already been announced
about Auto Assembly 2010, Europe's largest Transformers convention, we are not
resting on our laurels and we are back with another announcement to keep all our
attendees up-to-date on all the latest developments with the convention and to
hopefully persuade some of you who are still undecided about what con to attend
this Summer...
In this week's show, we have details of the latest news on dealers tables
at the convention, ticket sales, our new Costume Competition, and much more
besides! If you want to know the full details, you'll just have to watch the
video and find out for yourselves!
Spanning the weekend of Friday 13th - Sunday 15th August 2010 at the The
Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre, Birmingham, England, the convention is
playing host to a staggering 11 guests including three guests of honour (Garry
Chalk, Scott McNeill and Derrick J Wyatt), and will feature toy and art
displays, dealers, comic guests, free autograph sessions, a video games area,
free workshops run by many of our guests, dedicated childrens programming, video
screenings and so much more to be announced! There will also be Friday and
Saturday evening programmes, exclusive for weekend attendees and the Saturday
evening will play host to a party, a concert by rock band Next Of Kin (including
a Transformers themed set with music from the 1986 animated movie!), costume
competition, our voice actors will take to the stage to perform a BRAND NEW
script written by Simon Furman and we still have a few more surprises in
store...!
Because of the venue size, we are restricting attendance to a MAXIMUM of
550 people at the convention per day which can be made up of a combination of
weekend and one-day attendees and once we hit that total we will be closing
registrations so if you want to attend Europe's largest Transformers convention,
you need to hurry and get your tickets now as we have already had over 325
pre-registrants so tickets are likely to be a complete sell-out!
Despite our running costs increasing for this year, we have frozen ticket
prices from Auto Assembly 2009 and they are £45 for adults and £35 for children,
students and senior citizens, with under 5s admitted free. Family tickets (2
adults and 2 children) are available for £145. Single day passes are available
at reduced rates but these are VERY limited.
For more details on the convention, to see a full list of all the guests
and activities taking place over the weekend, or to book your tickets, visit the
website at www.autoassembly.org.uk
In a follow-up to the news we broke yesterday regarding the release of volume 1 of Transformers Animated on DVD in Japan, Paramount have now updated their website with more information including news that they will be holding a campaign to give away 1000 gold chrome Optimus Prime dexlue figures. Yes that's right a DVD Lucky Draw prize much like Black Fire Convoy. A gold deluxe Optimus Prime figure, as well as a gold Voyager were two of our predicted three lucky draw toys that TV Magazine will announce at the end of the year. This could still be the case as DVD figures have been re-used in subsequent campaigns in the past, though it does make the inclusion of the deluxe figure in a magazine competition less likely.
To qualify for the prize draw you need to send in 1 x barcode from a Transformers Animated Toy box (or 4 barcodes
from EZ collection toys vol.3 and 4), 5x Sega cards and the token from Transformers Animated DVD.

Seibertron.com are reporting that the Botcon 2010 online registration will not be ready until at least the Sunday 16th May. Ryan received the following email from Brian Savage of Fun Publications:
"Well, once again, not today, and it's looking like it won't be tomorrow
either. Almost there.... I promise we will have registration online.
Brian"
Whilst BotCon continues to be plagued by a lack of information, the inability to register and increasing outrage at people being charged extra to book online and yet alternative forms of bookings will not open for a week or two until after the online bookings are ready, the UKs premier Transformers Convention Auto Assembly continues to gather pace with the recent announcement of the full time table as well as some new panels and showcases leading to heavy praise from many areas of the fan community around the world. It seems that the non-profit UK convention is gathering more momentum and support where as the commercially run official convention is starting to gain the criticism that dogged the much of Glen Hallits reign as chief organiser of Botcon.
