Following up on our recent news reports from the 2007 Chara Hobby event in Japan, Snakas has updated
his website with more images and information on the event. The new information includes word that the CMS Dia Atlas figure (previously a Wonderfest exclusive) was also on sale at the event, more information on Sky Lynx and a little more on thhe book that was next to the Movie Optimus Prime concept. The concept figure of Movie Optimus Prime was next to the Transformers Movie Ultimate Guide book which will be coming out in Japan. The book includes information and images on the production of both the film and the toys. Many of the images shown in the book were seen by Transformers fans at BotCon 2007 who attended the Hasbro tours. Snakas reports that TakaraTomy are currently looking in to re-releasing Sky Lynx (though technially this would not be a re-release in Japan as the figure was not released their back in 1986). He confirms that there is no scheduled release date or price point for this item, and we expect that TakaraTomy are simply trying to gauge interest in this figure. Visit
Snakas website to view the original Japanese report as well as images.

Japanese Chara-Hobby 2007 convention which took place in Japan today.
The images include various Transformers, including Nike Free Convoy Marine Edition, the clear Re-Entry Protoforms from the Transformers Movie, MP6 Masterpiece Skywarp and an concept of Transformers Movie Leaderclass Optimus Prime. It's an awesome mockup and has to be seen.

As promised, we're bringing you more information from the Chara-Hobby 2007 convention, as well as on Nike Free Marie Convoy, which many fans are calling Ultra Magnus.
At the Chara-Hobby convention, a finalised version of the Transformers Sports Label Convoy Marine edition was shown. Both the plaque and the box which the toy comes in clearly names the figure as Convoy and not Ultra Magnus. This is final confirmation of the toys name.
Also the plaque on Sly Lynx does mention that it is part of a Takara project, which would add to speculation that they are working on a re-issue, rather than simply displaying the toy.
Speaking of the Chara-Hobby event, stay tuned as we'll be bring you a huge gallery of images, as we always do from the Japanese collectors events.

If you'd thought the Transformers Movie was already big, then you ain't seen nothing yet. Nelson, admin of
Shoot for the Edit (Michael Bay's blog)' has let the world know that Transformers is heading for the Imax cinema's in the US. We can only hope that it makes it's way to Imax's in the UK, as I'd personally love to see it on the stupidly-big screen.
Coming Soon.net tease that the film will contain "more footage" and will start on September 21st

News in from the USPTO is that
Hasbro trademark for Snarl has been accepted for another 6 year renewal. Just in time for Transformers Animated! Let's all hope that Snarl can become the fourth member of the Dinobots in the 2008 Transformers Cartoon series.

CM's Dai Atlas and finally

Why was Sky Lynx on display? Will he be re-issued or was their some other significance. We wait to find out. In the mean time, here are the links.

Another ebay auction for the recolours of the Sports Label Convoy toy (often referred to as Marine Convoy or Ultra Magnus), this time with a slightly different colour scheme. The toy is also picture in mock-up packaging (notice part of the box refers to the toy as Convoy and others as Megatron), despite reports to the contrary on some other sites. You can view the auction
here. The final colours of the toy made still change,the box certainly will, and as such their is still no official word on its final name.
