As it's a little bit of a slow news day today, though we have another Beast Wars Neo bible update for you this afternoon, I thought we'd link to the latest discussion on AcToys about the Diamond Select Omega Supreme statue.
The thread includes lots of pictures, so you'll have to be patient whilst it loads. It's worth taking a look if you've not seen this piece before.

Simon Furman has updated his blog with information on the latest issue of the UK Transformers comic which comes out later this week.
Falling a bit behind on my Script (W)raps, so here’s a potted
digression on/tease for Transformers (UK) #11 & 12, the third and
fourth parts respectively of (the 5-part) Twilight’s Last Gleaming. For
those who either haven’t yet read issue #9 (shame on you), which is
already out, or immersed themselves in previous TLG blog entries
(double-shame on you), here’s the basic premise: post-live action
movie, but an alternate take on the way things pan out.
Instead of
happy endings all round, the final victory belongs to the Decepticons.
Earth (or a decent chunk of it anyway) is controlled by Megatron and
the Decepticons and those Autobots still active are fighting a
desperate rearguard action to prevent a planet-wide transformation into
new Cybertron! In parts 3 & 4, Starscream does what Starscreams
have been doing since time immemorial, making his own power play for
control of the new empire. And if that means provoking a reaction from
the Autobot reinforcements (including the likes of Arcee, Armorhide and
Skyblast) on the moon, so be it.
More familiar faces start to emerge as
the story cranks up to fever pitch, including Frenzy (Mikaela’s got
him), Bonecrusher (Ironhide and Ratchet have got him) and Tom Banacek
(who’s kind of once removed from the main action). And Bumblebee? He’s
got by the far the worst deal: one on one with Megatron. That’s gonna
hurt! And you know what? Anything can happen from this point on!
Now
firmly in its own distinct movie continuity, things are gonna get a
whole lot worse for the Autobots (and Earth) before they get any
better. This… is just the beginning! Issues #11 & 12 hit (UK)
stores 24th April and 22nd May respectively.
For more information and
art go visit TF-UK’s MySpace page here.

Following on from the small preview which was the Beast Wars II bible gallery, you can now find over 60 images in two galleries from the Beast Wars Neo bible. The galleries are split into Cybertorons and Planets, with the Destrons (which we feel is the most interesting) coming later in the week.
The galleries form part of our Transformers Concepts and Prototype area, so have a nose through the other bits which are there whilst you're at it.

More Information
Thanks to Snakas for posting more info from Autobase Aichi, which got it from a Japanese online
store:
- The new BTs are a limited release, prompted by the line being
reevaluated in the wake of the movie.
- Convoy (just Convoy, not Tiger anything) is predominantly red. No
idea what's going on with the yellow/green images.
You can see lists at Rauten for Arcee and Convoy
Previous Update
More images are now available of BT 21 Arcee and BT 22 Convoy.
The toys are also up for Pre-Order at Fan to Fan
Original Story
Two images have appeared online, thanks to naughtyguy, of what is described as Transformers Binaltech 21 and 22. The toys are a recolour of Alternator Windcharger / Decepticharge and a yellow recolour of Alternator Optimus Prime (BT Convoy).
Our initial attempts to translate the names haven't resulted in anything which makes sense yet, though TFWorld2005 member SydneyY has spotted the name of Arcee for the first, whilst Binaltech / Alternator expert Nevermore originally said Tiger Convoy for the second., but so far only Convoy is known, probably not in a different colour.
Discuss these pictures on our Transformers Forum

Thanks to Seibertron for the following news story.
Dutch mobile phones site iPhoneclub.nl has placed an article on their website, claiming that iPod Company XtremeMac has signed a deal to cross promote their hardcase edition of the iPhone 2.0 product with an action figure from the Transformers 2 movie, set to be released in June 2009.
Neil Harden, marketing director for XtremeMac, did not want to say
which figures will be used in the cross promotion, but he did have the
following to say in the article;
"We are excited that we will link our Xtreme iPhone hardcase
with Transformers 2. Eventhough Transformers 2 won't be in theaters
until june 2009, it's never to early to start the hype. We expect these
to be sold out in a matter of hours. These [Transformers-fans] are
completely predictable. That's why Paramount is making the sequel".

Transformers Animated has been updated with a new video category, Episode 14 Nature Calls, containing two new videos. The first is called Autobots go Camping, and shows a scene with Bumblebee, Prowl and Sari in a snowy forest. The second is from the same episode, combing three comical scenes, where Bumblebee's lack of knowledge and stupidity are highlighted for all to see. The yellow Autobot has more in common with Homer Simpson then just his colour. This video is called Bumblebee's Bright Ideas.
Both videos can also be seen in the Transformers Video section of Transformers At The Moon.
