Hasbro have updated their Monkey Bar TV website with another exclusive Transformers Animated clip, this time featuring Prowl practicing an Evel Knievel type stunt.

Derrick Wyatt has posted another comment on his blog, this time in regards to the Cybertronian modes for the Decepticons, or rather the lack thereof.  "Megatron is the only one of the main five Decepticons a Cybertron vehicle mode was designed for. We have Cybertron vehicle designs for all five of the main Autobots"

TFW are reporting that Transformers Animated Ultra Magnus is now out at retail stores.  The figure has been spotted in California so as you may have expected, you can find even more on ebay now.

Transformers Animated Art Director/Lead Character Designer Derrick Wyatt has posted some comments on his blog relating to the current rumours regarding Season 3 of Transformers Animated.

"A quick note about Rodimus, Cyclonus and season 3 in general. Take everything you guys are reading on the boards with a grain of salt. ALL the people posting spoilers that I have read so far have been putting up inaccurate info. Some WAY off. Even those with Hasbro connections and posters who have been a good source of information in the past seem to have gotten some REALLY bad info."

TF08.net member vansch has posted some images of both the red and silver versions of the upcoming Transformers Alternity Convoy figure.  These images are the first time that the red version has been seen.  You can view the mirrored images below.

The 9th poll on TransformersAnimated.com has now finished and the votes have been counted.  The poll asked the question "Which Animated DVD will you buy?" and here are the results.

US release - 66%
UK release - 11%
Not buying - 10%
Other - 6%
Australian release - 6%
German release - 1%

No real suprises, though the poll did start before we broke the news that the UK release of Transformers Animated would not be in a complete box set.

The new poll is regarding the Transformers Animated comics from IDW and Titan Magazines and asked which of the comics are you buying, or plan to buy?

In a bug fix, the showtimes / TV schedule page has had its AJAX called fixed.

TFW2005.com member clonemanager posted a sighting on their message board of the "Super Value Pack" of Transformers Animated Leader class Bulkhead and Activator Bumblebee in a Californian Toys R Us store.  So keep an eye out for him if you are in the area and are after the figure

Snakas has published details of the November 2008 issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine over on his blog in Japanese.  Below you will find an English language summary of his post.

The november issue contained four pages of Transformers information.  The first being on Transformers Alternity GT-R Convoy including images of the box.  The six images showcasing the transformation that appeared in both Figure Oh and Figure King are also published in this issue of Dengeki Hobby.  The Japanese Transformers Henkei Galvatron and Ironhide figures are shown with different images to those that appeared in Figure King.  Prototypes are shown of Targetmaster Cyclonus, Cheetas (Cheetor) and Hound.  The Cheetor images are the same as figure king, but the Cyclonue images are new.  Snakas states that this is the first Japanese showing of Anniversary / Universe Hound and that the vehicle mode which is shown in the concept picture is best decribed as a light armored military vehicle and is clearly based on the G1 Jeep.  MP-7 Thundercracker is shown in a large photograph which highlights the two different faces of the toy.  There is also a package photograph of the BT-22 Convoy figure.

As mentioned in the Figure King coverage, the silhouette of the mystery also appears in the magazine with the words "That super-famous worldwide character".  Finally there is an advert for BT Convoy to end the Transformers coverage.

Thanks to ACToys.net member 花露水 we can bring you some more images of the knock-off Cyclonus and Scourge figures that have just been released in China.  The bootleg toys will find there way onto eBay very shortly, if they are not already there, so fans and collectors should be on the look-out for these toys, and hopefully these images will help you identify them.
