Reuters repotr that Hasbro Inc. have announced that Chairman Alan Hassenfeld will retire at the end of the year but stay on as the non-employee chairman of the board.
Hassenfeld, 56, has been with Hasbro -- the maker of G.I. Joe action figures, Mr. Potato Head and the Easy-Bake oven -- for 35 years. The company was founded in 1923 by brothers Henry and Helal Hassenfeld and originally sold textile remnants, but moved into manufacturing pencil boxes and school supplies. By 1940, it was selling toys.
In 1970, Alan Hassenfeld joined Hasbro as a special assistant to the president after graduating from university. He worked his way up the ranks of the company started by his grandfather, was named president in 1984 and became chairman and chief executive in 1989.
Hassenfeld stepped down as CEO in 2003, and was replaced by Alfred Verrecchia.
During the three-year chairmanship period, Hassenfeld will receive a retainer of $300,000 per year and will be eligible to receive board meeting fees, equity grants and other benefits, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As of Dec. 31, 2005 Hassenfeld will be eligible to begin receiving a retirement pension benefit of $814,500 per year until he reaches the age of 65. Thereafter, the annual pension benefit will be $796,800, the company said in a filing.

According to the Sky TV Guide, the first episode of Cybertron to air in the UK on September 5th will
not be episode 1, but will infact be episode 3. This conflicts with previous reports and episode 1 may still be the first episode shown, but it (the Sky TV Guide) is the most recent TV listing so is more likely to be correct. Fans in the UK will be keeping their eyes on Australian TV reports to see where Cybertron starts 'down under', if they start from episode 1, then this will turn things around yet again.
Thanks to Toughboot for the news.

It has been bought to my attention again this morning, that users of AOL may find that they loose acess to our website at random periods. It would appear that at least one of AOLs DNS servers has had its records for both www.transformertoys.co.uk and www.robotmaster.co.uk removed. A few weeks ago, AOL users were affecvted by a corrupted DNS server at AOL which resulted in the main website domain of this site resolving to a German ISP. We have contacted several departments at AOL and asked them to once again fulsh and update their DNS records. Users of AOL can, currently, still access other domains that we are running, however there are no others currently pointing to Transformers @ The Moon. If the problem continues, we shall be posting instructions on our
Message Board on how to change your computer to point to a non-AOL DNS server. We believe that some Supanet users are also still experiencing troubles in resolving our domains due to at least one of SupaNets DNS servers still pointing our sites to the webhosts that held the domain upto the middle of March this year. We are still awaiting a response from the Supanet 'team' on this issue.
In a few weeks we shall be activating three other alternative domains, that you will also be able to use to access our website to help bypass this problem.

Both
TFormers and
TFW2005 report that in
this post on Animation Insider, it appears that Transformers: Cybertron si being pulled from the air in the US to make way for more original programming. Now there could be various reasons for this move, it could be going to a 'yet to be determined' timeslot, the viewing figures could be terrible and it could be dropped totallty, they may have shown all of the episodes that have been dubbed so far, or it could be something else. In our opinion, it is unlike to remain off the air for too long, and will probably return in a new timeslot in a month or two when more of the series has been dubbed into English.

Transfandom report that Doug Dlin of alt.toys.transformers has
posted information concerning the Japanese repaint of BT-12 Override (originally called Wildrider then called Black Widow, in a different colour scheme). Apparently, the Decepticharge repaint clashed with another popular Japanese series and as such was cancelled. The Black Widow repaint has been postponed but a release is not out of the question.
