Thanks to Fan to Fan, we are able to offer you 98 images of the lastest Japanese Convention Exclusive Transformers toys, in the form of the
Kissplayer Sparkabots, Angela, Star Dust and Zangetsu.
The toys use the Takara Microchange Eggbot molds, from 1984, which were re-used in the Japanese only Beast Wars II line as the
EggBeasts. The image gallery includes images of the three Kissplayer Sparkabots figures as well as comparisons to the Beast Wars Second Egg-Beasts and two of the original Microchange Egg-Bots.
These are the Easter Eggs of the Transformers universe, and we hope you enjoy them. This takes us to 1392 toys photographed from our Transformers toy collection.

Pete Sinclair has posted a few times over on TFW2005 today regarding Botcon due to rather vocal displeasure that has been posted. His post was to let people know that there are still places available for the Movie, Hasbro tour and the toys. Here's his most informative post
"
Okay, just to be clear. There are still plenty of movie tickets available and there is still plenty of time on the boxed sets. The Hasbro tour is about full, there might be a few opening, BUT remeber, 100 people wil be drawn at random for the last 100 spots so even if you didn't make it in with the first 400 you still have a shot."

Thanks once again to the folk at Winning Moves for taking the time to answer a few more questions we posed to them regarding the
Transformers Top Trumps game that will be release in June here in the UK.
The forthcoming pack will be based on new material and will contain a variety of characters. Unfortunatly Winning Move are unable to reveal how long they have the Transformers license for, but when asked if there will be on-going Transformer packs, such as all Autobots and all Decepticons they simple replied "
never say never".
As metioned in
our report yesterday, the game is out in June with a RRP of £3.99. As always, expect more information as we get it.

In
another update on his blg, Simon Furman has updated everyone on the latest happenings of TFAuctions mascot Cougar. Here's what Simon had to say.
"
A while back, it was my pleasure to supply a Transformer-style
character bio for Cougar, the official mascot of tfauctions.com (see:
http://tfauctions.com/mascot.php). Since then, Cougar's acquired a
nemesis and a sidekick (not to mention a sponsor or two). TF artist
extraordinaire Guido Guidi (who did the Cougar designs) is hard at work
on the next batch of illustrations, and there are plans afoot for a
dedicated website and more. As and when this happens, I'll post here
with updates."

Simon Furman , Transformers legendary writer, has updated
his blog with his thoughts on Paramounts Transformers Movie preview screening. Here are some quotes
"
It was a strange experience, largely because
(bar the trailers and TV spots) I'd seen so much of the movie (in terms
of still images, style guide character shots, the script, etc) but
actually none of the movie (in terms of actual moving images). In the
process of (co-) writing the IDW Prequel comics and writing an
extensive and in-depth movie Visual Guide for Dorling Kindersley (out
in July BTW), I was exposed to more or less every angle of the movie,
but seeing those twenty or so minutes of actual footage really brought
it all to life. I was impressed very impressed, as were pretty much
everyone I got to speak to afterwards. It looked great and the dialogue
crackled (something I hadn't got when I'd read the script). In common
with others there, I was left wanting more, which has to be a good
sign. At the after-screening soiree, I got to chat to Lorenzo Di
Bonaventura (in person this time) and hang out with the Titan bods in
attendance. Eaglemoss were also there (more on that when I can tell
you). As for the (whole) movie, I can't wait. Really. The more I see
the more excited I get. It's going to be a big year!"

The following email was sent out from the Sector Seven to continue the event on their website
You have proclaimed your willingness to expose Sector Seven. Now the time has come for action. The truth must be revealed to the public.
It's all around them, but they fail to see it. Only by amassing all of the evidence in a single place can we hope to convince the world that non-biological entities are hidden among us.
Seek out relevant data on unidentified aerial phenomena, as well as robots far too advanced to have been created by humans. Post what you find on this public site:
buzznet.com/groups/stopsectorseven
But be warned, just as you have dedicated yourself to my cause,others out there have become servants of Sector Seven. They will try to stop you. You must persist, even in the face of their seemingly limitless power. Sector Seven's policies will doom us all. You are the only hope for Earth.
What's more interesting is a StopSectorSeven website was suggested by
Unifiction last week.

Seibertron have an intresting
report they have found on
Comic Book ResourceRich Johnston at Comic Book Resources posted:"Transformers 2" is being prepped for 2009, as is a new cartoon series to spin off the upcoming movie.
The reason given to licensors as to why the robots look so different in
the film is so that hardcore fans will stay loyal and keep buying the
old toys, which they're relaunching, even if they hate the new movie.
Licensing has explicitly stated that companies doing merchandising have
to avoid doing anything too similar to the original Transformers line,
so as not to mix the two separate and profitable properties.
