Once again we find ourselves in the position of needing to appologise for the lack of website updates both in terms of news stories as well as our continued lack of updated galleries and articles. Whilst it is true that our time spent within and around the Transformers brand has significantly decreased over the last few years due to work, real life and other interests (such as www.thevisionaries.net) we do plan still plan on revamping this website, getting back to bringing you the latest news stories every day as well as regular content updates including the photographing of the rest of our Transformers collection as well as re-photographing many of the figures.

Our "Trademark-bots" have have found some new
Transformers related trademarks filed with the USPTO by Hasbro Inc. The trademarks come under the beverages section and cover two Hasbro Inc brands:
The applications were filed a week ago and cover
"Dairy-based beverages; vegetable-based food beverages; fruit-based food beverages; yogurt-based beverages; coconut-based beverages used as a milk substitute; milk beverages containing fruits; milk based beverages containing fruit juice; peanut-based food beverages; soy-based food beverage used as a milk substitute; nut and seed-based milks"
so it will be interesting to see what exactly these are for.
NEFF (86555418), My Little Pony (86555391) and Littlest Pet Shop (86558814) are additional Hasbro Inc brands which have also had beverage related
trademarks filed within the last few weeks.

Griffin, the admin of OzFormers has posted some infromation from the Australian Toy Fair which includes word that MP Tracks will not be MP-25 and that 6 more Masterpiece figures will be released in Japan this year, after Star Saber with those toys being:

Convoy re-issue - Assumed August
Tracks - Assumed August
Secret - MP25 expected to be announced shortly - September
New Sports Car - Oct
New Sports Car - Nov
Below you will find a quote of the full new report which contains further information on the Australian releases.
Photos later tonight, and the full report.... but some teaser info to get you interested and to send the global fansites into meltdown.
Generations Devastator on display with my Gen1 Devastator - BigW already signed up for June/July.
More JP Masterpiece coming this year - Gold bumblebee July, Convoy reissue, Tracks (not MP25), MP25 in Sept (I can't reveal name before TakaraTomy), and two new "sports cars" for OCT & NOV.
Platinum edition - Myer will have Seeker pack and YOTG pair... while ToysRUs will have Insecticon pack, Perceptor/Blaster, Trypticon, aaaaand.... Dinobots. YES, Gen1 Dinobots multipack which I hope is all five.
JP Stinger still for this month, only at TRU though.
GEN Slingshot & Wildrider don't exist (yet) for Hasbro Generations, but might next year as Combiners are going to be at least two years.
Leader Starscream for wave 4.
Hasbro MP Starscream is the second (MP11) version because fans wanted it.
Hasbro MP Bluestreak will be in July.
Toyworld's cheaper prices were indeed just introductory prices from Hasbro.
Loyal Subjects w3 should be out in the next month.
That's most of it. More later, probably after midnight though.
Go nuts...
Go nuts indeed!
