The Allspark recently sat down with Transformers writer Roberto Orci to discuss Transformers 2 and the new Star Trek movie. Mr Orci stated that the first draft of Transformers 2 has now been completed.

You can see the full article here.

A few US Transformers sites are speculating that the sighting of Transformers Animated toys in Canada may indicate an earlier release date, some stating May, for the Transformers Animated toyline.

Is this wishful thinking, or a foresight of things to come. For the moment we just have to wait and see.

ACToys.net board member shin-gouki has posted the first images of the Transformers Animated Blitzwing toy. The three images are of his different faces and can be seen in the Blitzwing toy image section of TransformersAnimated.com as well as in the original thread on ACToys.

The Transformers Animated Showtimes page on TransformersAnimated.com has been updated to display more accurate information (official episode titles) for both the Canadian and United Kingdom showings of Transformers Animated. As always, the schedules come direct from the TV stations themselves and not less reliable third party sources. For the UK, Nick UK are unable to provide a more accurate data feed to us, at this time, though the current one does contain details of when certain special episodes will air, such as Megatron Rising.

The showtimes page is updated through out the day, every day, to ensure that the information is both accurate and up-to-date.

Marcelo Matere's Deviant Art page has been updated with art from the Transformers Crossover line, including Hulk and Wolverine.

Meanwhile, The Allspark member Korcas has received several images, from a Japanese Transformer seller, of some of the Transformers Crossover line as well as Henkei.

"Well let’s just say that who he is and what he does within the framework of the IDW/TF-verse makes him the perfect foil for Nightbeat as he investigates his missing memories. Hardhead is, for want of a better expression, a “problem solver.” How that plays into Nightbeat’s predicament provides one of the TF/IDW-verse’s most gobsmacking, heartstopping payoffs to date! Plus, a whole host of Micromasters (how many? Ask Nick Roche. He had to draw all the little beggars)"

A quick reminder to fellow UK based Transformers Animated fans, that board member / dealer Starscreams Ghost is currently taking pre-orders for the Wave 1 Transformers Animated figures which will be release in the UK in June / July. The toys will be the official UK releases and not imports as SSG has an account with Hasbro Inc.

He will be closing the pre-orders this friday, and you can place your orders via this thread on the Transformers At The Moon message board, Saké Comments.

Its been a long time since Hasbro applied for a new Transformers related trademark, 14th September 2007 was the last new application, well they have finally applied for a new trademark with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) and this time for an interesting, and previously lost, trademark. Which trademark is it? None other than everyone's favourite one-eyed purple Transformer .... Shockwave.

As usual you can find all of the trademark details in our exclusive Transformers Trademark
area of the site which contains details of 329 trademarks dating from 1984 to the present day. The trademark area is updated several times a day with all of the latest updates and new applications, so keep an eye on that page to see how the mark progresses
