As we've now watched them you will find the last two Transformers Animated Season 1 episode summaries and image galleries in our Transformers in the Media section of Transformers At The Moon or over at Transformers Animated.com.

Whilst we were in Tokyo the International Anime Fair 2008 took place at the Tokyo Big Sight. Though no Transformers related items were directly on display, Yokubarion took almost 200 photographs from the event which we have uploaded into the conventions section of the site. If you are a fan of Japanese anime / hobby figures, then you may want to take a look to see what items were on display. The event ran form the 27th March until the 30th March, with the first two days being press only days. Entry was roughly �5.

The Deviant Art website was updated a few days ago with images by Marcelo Matere which are said to be used on the packaging of the Transformers Universe (Classics 2.0) toy line.

The images consist of Powerglide, Tankor (Octane), Prowl and Sunstreaker.

Thanks to TheTransformers.net for the original spot.

TFWorld2005 are reporting that their Ohio members have spotted Transformers Animated toys have at the K-Mart in the Forest Park area. The first assortments of Deluxes and Voyagers have been seen, approximately a case's worth of each.

This is just a quick message to explain the absence of any new contents and news stories at Transformers Animated.com and Transformers At The Moon, over a week when Transformers Animated series 1 finished in the US, and almost completely aired in the UK.

The reason for the absence is that we were on holiday in Japan, where we did see some Transformers Animated toys for sale (leaked that is), and we managed to gain a few additions to our own collection.

Images of these toys, and others, will be added during the week, as well as the regular image galleries, reviews and video clips for the missing two episodes of Transformers Animated.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

The first poll run at TransformersAnimated.com has now closed, and we can bring you the results. The poll asked a simple question, Who is your favourite Autobot? with the choices being the main cast from the Transformers Animated TV series. Here are the results

1. Prowl - 30%
2. Bumblebee - 28%
3. Optimus Prime - 26%
4. Bulkhead - 9%
5. Ratchet 7%

Bumblebee had a strong last few days, catching up and passing Optimus Prime, though both he and the Autobot leader both gained plenty of ground on Prowl who as running away with it.

A new poll has now taken its place on the main page of TransformersAnimated.com
