The toys are recolours of the Beast Wars Megatron and Beast Wars Optimus Primal (Convoy) leader moulds. The toys are not the same as the US Beast Wars reborn figures as they use the original scuplts (not the new head molds).

Amazon.com have put up a video preview of one of the extras on the Transformers movie, Transformers: Inside The Allspark. You can view the video here.

Maz, webmaster of TF-1.com, and fountain of Transformers knowledge, as posted an article on a Generation Two Desert Camouflage Ramjet toy. The toy is the third un-produced Generation Two seeker jet seen in as many months, and would fit really nicely with the Desert Camouflage Runiation from Transformers Universe and the Jungle Attack Starscream toy.

Simon Furman has posted the following update on his blog

Transformers Animated Deluxe Ast: SKN#493859
Transformers Animated Voyager Set SKN#494440

Those are the first Transformers Animated SKN numbers to be reported from the US.

TFWorld2005 posted them earlier today

See the links above for references on what several of these assortments will be. At this time, there is no confirmation on what the "TF Allspark Blaster" will be. Also, please note that the Animated Voyager-size class listing is described as a "set" instead of "assortment". Anything at this time is speculation, but a "set" typically describes a mutli-pack collection of figures as opposed to an indivudual figure.

Transformers At The Moon today passes the 1,850th Transformers toy to be featured in one of our Transformers toy galleries. As we approach the 8th anniversary of Transformers At The Moon's inception, we're rapidly approaching the landmark figure of 2,000 Transformers toy galleries (which we should complete this year).

2. Transformers Energon - Ramjet
3. Transformers Energon - Demolisher

Who is this figure? Why Ultimate Bumblebee.

Simon Furman has updated his blog with the following information on Beast Wars Ascending.

Next week (lots of advance stuff this week, as I'm travelling next) sees the release of issue #1 of (Transformers) Beast Wars The Ascending. If you've read The Gathering (and if not, why not?), then the cast of Razorbeast, Magmatron, Grimlock, Ravage and so on will be familiar to you, and need no introduction. But just in case you haven't, here's what's what (so far). Predacon general Magmatron travels back to Earth's past (circa 10,000 B.C.) to snag himself an army in the shape of the discarded protoforms left strewn around the prehistoric past in stasis pods by Optimus Primal and the crew of the Axalon (in the Beast Wars TV series).

With me so far? Good. His intention is to reformat the occupants of said stasis pods as Predacons and return to the future to take Cybertron by force. But among his chronally displaced crew is Razorbeast, a Maximal deep cover agent, who throws an epic spanner in the works by diluting the reactivation signal. The net result is an almost equal mix of Maximals and Predacons, who then begin their own series of timelost Beast Wars.

Ultimately, Razorbeast triumphs and condemns Magmatron to a temporal limbo (by sabotaging his in-progress Transwarp jump… stay with me here). The Predacons, now under the loose command of former Decepticon Ravage, are put to flight. So that's where we are.

What happens next (in The Ascending)? Well, for a start, Ravage has not abandoned his fervent wish to return to Cybertron (and the future), and to do so he has to interface directly with the other in-progress Beast Wars (Optimus Primal, Megatron et al from the TV show). Cue a major assault on the Maximal base, his ultimate goal the appropriation of the chronal phase armbands (from the The Gathering). Meanwhile, Magmatron (in temporal limbo) has seen the future of Cybertron, and, well, there isn't one. Unable to directly affect the coming Armageddon and the rise of an ancient evil, he turns to his once and former enemy Razorbeast! And that… is all I'm going to tell you here.

Beast Wars The Ascending #1 is on stores next week (Oct 3 in the US, the 4th in the UK). Keep an eye on the IDW website for news of all upcoming Transformers releases.

Reports are flooding in that the latest Transformers Club Magazine contained news concerning when BotCon 2008 is likely to take place. The organisers (Fun Publications) are targeting Spring (April/May) for the convention, though there is no information on a possible location.

Following on from the website update a few hours ago, we can now bring you an additional 4 new Transformers Micron Legend image galleries. Theses Japanese Transformers are :-

1. Transformers Micron Legend - Megatron Super Mode
2. Transformers Micron Legend - Spark Barrel
3. Transformers Micron Legend - Shockwave
