AcToys and then find the flash game
here.

Whilst at our local Argos this morning we noticed that the Titaniums as well as Classics Jetfire are still listed as out-of-stock, but what we also found out was that they are still selling the several Cybertron toys and have Unicron, Skywarp and Downshift in stock. Which product numbers you have to use to get them though, we could not find out.

As we reported earlier in the week, the Argos Catelogue is launched tomorrow. Most of the toys have already been annouced here, Ravage, Titanium Rodimus Prime, Titanium Soundwave. Now TFW2005 have a
scan, thanks to Fort Max and Scourge, of the Transformers page which shows Classics Jetfire, 6" Titanium War Within Prime, 20th Anniversary
Prime (Animated Movie Edition with Blue Gun), Classics Megatron
and Optimus 2-pack, Classics Legends figures, Classics Rodimus, and
Alternators Wheeljack, Prime, and Ravage.
The interesting thing is that Titanium Optimus Prime is shown, though Rodimus and Soundwave are in stock.

The last image gallery of 2006 was of the Beast Wars II Lucky Draw Gold Lio Convoy toy. Now, for the second year running, we open the 2007 image gallery with not one but two new
Lucky Draw Transformers image galleries.
First up is a toy we have owned for a few months and have purchased a few other Lucky Draw toys between that time and now,
Beast Wars II White Moon. The second is of the final Lucky Draw Transformers toy to be released by Takara,
Galaxy Force Gold Megalo Convoy. This is the first image gallery of the toy online, and the first pictures (other than the one magazine scan) which have appeared on the web.

A fourth member of the
Transformers Real-Gear unit has appeared on
ebay, once agan thanks to SPX. This one is called Zoom-Out, a Video Camera robot (to go with the digital camera, phone and portable video game consol).
An interesting note is that the image on the view of the camera is of Nitro Convoy, Overdrive, from the Transformers Galaxy Force / Transformers Cybertron line.
The recent magazine article on the
Transformers Movie did mention a scene where the Transformers hide themselves around Spike's house.

Michael Bay has posted comments on his
message board regarding the Transformers trailer record.
"
I had no idea Transformers would have so many fans around the
world. Yahoo reported to Paramount, that the Transformers Trailer was
the most downloaded trailer ever on Yahoo. It had the most the first
day, and the most the first week. It beat Spider Man 3 that up till now
held the record, we beat them by over 2,000,000 streams. What we found
interesting was that an equal number of women viewed it as men. Go
figure. Vote to keep Die Hard July 4th!!!!".
Of cause there is no actual way for Yahoo to tell the gender of the viewer so it is interesting that such a statistic would be published.
