If you run your computer at a resolution of 1280x1024 then you may be interested in downloading the below Lucky Draw Transformers wallpaper. if you don't have your computer in that resolution, then you may want to take a look anyway, for an extreme high-res image of the Gold Optimus Prime toy.

We have updated the Transformers Toy Galleries area of the website with galleries for the unreleased Transformers Universe Smokescreen and Jolt figures. Universe Smokescreen is a recolour of the Transformers Armada Hotshot figure using the Generation One Smokescreen colour scheme.

You can discuss the toy over on our message board Saké Comments.

In an interview at IGN Robert Orci confirmed that they are looking to fit Soundwave in Transformers 2.

Q: Is there one particular Transformer, good or bad, that you absolutely had to get into the sequel?

ORCI: Yes.

Q: You're not gonna tell us.

ORCI: I'll tell you. We had to get Soundwave in there.

Q: Nice. Where Soundwave goes, will Ravage follow?

ORCI: Perhaps! Who's Ravage? ... I'm kidding! You know, we had Ravage in an early draft of the first movie and Soundwave, and we couldn't do it right and I think this time hopefully we'll have the ability to do it.

Of cause there is no word on an alt-mode for Soundwave as yet.

Chris Ryall has updated his blog with the cover of the latest Transformers Revelations comic by E.J.Su.

The cover features Cyclonus, Hardhead, Doubledealer and Sideswipe.

Thanks to TFWorld2005 for reporting that at the recent Shizuoka Hobby Show in Japan, the four upcoming, announced Transformers Binaltech figures were on display by TakaraTomy. Shown to the public were BT-19 Bluesteak, BT-20 Agent Meister, BT-21 Arcee, and BT-22 Convoy in final colors. There was also a sign with a silhouette of a car, teasing the next Binaltech figure after these four.

The results of the fifth TransformersAnimated.com poll are now in and a sixth poll has now begun. The fifth poll asked the question How do you watch Transformers Animated? to gauge the most popular media. Below you will find the results.

1. TV = 52%
2. YouTube = 40%
3. Torrent / Download = 4%
4. DVD Release = 4%
5. Press Review = < 1%

The biggest surprise of the results was the difference between You Tube and Torrent / Download, which was expected to have been much closer.

The new poll on TransformersAnimated.com simply asks you to rate the cartoon series out of 5 stars. With the show airing (or completed) around the world, this is a great time to judge its the global rating.

The ToysRUs Canada website has been updated to show in stock listings for the Transformers Animated wave one figures, Cybertronian mode Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Prowl and Lockdown. The figures are priced at $19.99 (CAD), which is $14.97USD or £7.70.

TransformersAnimated.com has been updated with three high resolution images of Transformers Animated Megatron, Black Arachnia and Ratchet that have been released by Hasbro via their press agents.

The episode begins with Starscream's brigade attacking both the Autobots and the Decepticons, who team up to defeated them. The Decepticons then defeat the Autobots when Ratchet arrives in the Autobot ship. Activating some secret controls, the ship transforms into Omega Supreme. Megatron's decides that he needs to test the Spacebridge and throws a restrained Optimus Prime towards the portal. Prowl manages to free Primes hands just in time so that the Autobot leader can save himself. Realising that he needs more power to use to Spacebridge, Megatron decides to hook up Starscreams head and use that as a battery. The power overloads the SpaceBridge and begings to suck everything into it, starting with Megatron. Omega Supreme sacrifices himself to destroy the SpaceBridge and save everyone else. As the episode nears its end, the Autobots are seen looking towards the horizon and talking to an injured Sari. Sari looks down at her injury only to notice that instead of bleeding, she sees Cybertronian mechanics inside of her. Finally, the episode ends with Megatron drifting in space arguing with Starscreams head.
