'Transformers Animated' sells widely
ER sells series to more than 80 territories
By ALI JAAFAR, JOHN HOPEWELL

CANNES — U.K.-based Entertainment Rights has inked deals in more than 80 territories for the “Transformers Animated” skein as well as a special 70-minute episode.

Key new territories sold by Entertainment include Italy through Mediaset; Australia, Latin America and India through Turner Broadcasting; Israel, the Netherlands and Belgium through Jetix; Australia through Network 10; New Zealand through TV3; Singapore through Mediacorp TV12; and Brazil through TV Globo.

That's a quote from Variety found by Voiceroy, a member of TFWorld2005

TF08.net has updated their Transformers Animated toylist page with a few new items, though most of the toys had been listed before.

Ultimate Class - Omega Supreme
Voyager Class - Sentinel Prime and Wreck-Gar
Deluxe Class - Swoop, Mixmaster and Scavenger

Mixmaster has not been listed before, and it's interesting that Wreck-Gar's name is used, when David Kaye called the character Junkion at BotCon 2007.

You can now find four new Transformers Animated videos exclusively only at Transformers Animated.com and it's parent website Transformers At The Moon.

The four new videos are from the two last episode from Season (Series) One of Transformers Animated which aired in the US over the last two weeks (when we were in Japan) and airs in the UK in the next week.

The clips are titled :-

• Episode 15 - Prime's Leadship Technique
• Episode 15 - Megatron's Return
• Episode 16 - Optimus Vs Megatron
• Episode 16 - Megatron's Transformation
  

Starscream's Ghost, also known as the Jokers Toybox, has started a thread regarding pre-orders for the Transformers Animated toys, on UK (European) packaging. SSG, as he's known, is a UK based seller with an account with Hasbro UK, so the toys are not being imported from the US, so you can rest knowing that you're helping UK sales of the toys and the economy.

Have a look at the tread on the Transformers At The Moon message board.

The results are in from the second poll run by Transformers Animated.com, this time to find out which is your favorite Decepticon.

The results were as follows:-

1. Blitzwing - 34%
2. Megatron - 25%
3. Starscream - 24%
4. Blackarachnia - 9%
5. Lockdown - 6%
   
6. Lugnut - 4%

So Blitzwing joins Prowl as your favorite Transformers Animated Autobot and Decepticon characters.

A new poll has been started, asking which Super-Villan you'd like to see return in Transformers Animated Season 2.

TFWorld2005 sponsor AgesThreeAndUp have announced that the Transformers Henkei (Japanese Transformers Classics line) C-07 and C-08 toys will be Sunstreaker and Prowl, from the Transformers Universe (Transformers Classics 2.0) us toyline.

You can see the original report here.
