The G.I. Joe Field Manual hits stores TOMORROW! Get on down to your local comic book shop and pick up a copy.  I'll post an official reaction thread, and I'd surely love to hear your thoughts.

For those of you who missed it, this is my compilation of G.I. Joe animation models from the 1983-1985 period.  That includes both mini-series as well as season one.  From Ace to Zap, from the A.S.P. to Zartan, it's a more than comprehensive guide to the G.I. Joe cartoon covering the Joe team, Cobra, and plenty of guests.  M.A.S.S. Device? Check!  Weather Dominator? Don't you know it! Honda Lou West?  But of course! Oktober Guard? I'd be remiss otherwise.

Andrew "Hydra" Hall, of eHOBBY and Hydra's TF Pulp fame, stopped has posted details on the back story for TakaraTomy's releases of Power Core Combiners as United EX.  Here is the detail he provided via the information in the latest issue of Figure King as well as what will likely be printed on the package of each figure. Credit to The Allspark

"In the 21st century, the war of the Transformers has shifted to space, and seemed for a while that peace had returned to Earth. However, during that time the Autobots had been working together with Earth scientist Professor Chase to develop a new combination system. With it, Autobots would use Power Core Combination to combine themselves with 4 Drones. The Autobot warriors chosen for the process became part of the group known as the Master Class. At the same time, a covert counter-team of Decepticons with the same capability, "Master Chaos," was formed."

The story told on the package backs reflects the atmosphere of the United series, while including characters from earlier Transformers series such as wheelchair-bound genius Chip Chase.

Combatmaster Prime Mode
A Decepticon strategic commander who has been active since the early stages of the war, Combat Master combines with 4 military vehicles. The weapons that line his body provide devastating firepower. In the story, his drones were stolen from the Autobot Chopper Master, who they were originally developed for.

Drones: Morser Drone, Panzer Drone, Kanonier Drone, Spaher Drone

Jetmaster Prime Mode
The Autobot spy Jetmaster combines with 4 jet and helicopter Drones. Jetmaster was the first Autobot to successfully achieve Power Core Combination. The character features details referencing earlier Transformers series, such as that the data for his drones was gathered from the Aerialbots, and that he was born on Planet Z.

Drones: Zone Drone, Feminia Drone, Micro Drone, Tenth Drone

Aerial Warrior Choppermaster
Targetmaster: Firebug

Polar Commander Rollermaster
Targetmaster: Spanner

A Transformers Prime promotional video showing a new Autobot is doing the rounds via You Tube.  Rumours are flooding in that this character will be Smoke Screen, a list of which was on Archonia.

Keeping with the Transformers Masterpiece theme, Planet Iacon have posted up some in-hand images of Transformers Masterpiece MP11S Sunstorm.

Cliccar.com has posted some images of the soon to be released Transformers Masterpiese 12 Lambor figure (Sideswipe for western fans).

You get another good look at the amazinf looking vehicle mode, as well as a nice idea of the size of the figure

Finally, after all this time, we have a new gallery on Transformers At The Moon!!!  Yes you thought we were gone, you thought there was no reason to visit. boy you were wrong, we were just busy with moving - the result of which you'll seen soon.  Anyway all say a big WELCOME to our newest, and latest Lucky Draw Transformers toy gallery (not out latest Lucky Draw mind - hey, hey).

Transformers Darkside Moon (Dark of the Moon) Mech Tech Voyager Megatron

This is our 4099th gallery and acts as a Part 1 of this extremely hard to get hold of Lucky Draw toy.

The figure is limited ot 10 in the world, and this is, as far as we know and can tell, the first ever gallery of the final released figure.

As we are still in post-Auto Assembly 2012 recovery mode, many of our team are trying to get some rest after this year’s convention although we are making some preliminary plans for Auto Assembly 2013. As such we haven’t started sending out any of the confirmation emails yet for those of you who have booked tickets for Auto Assembly 2013. Rest assured that these will be going out shortly, but we are in the process of wrapping up all of the final paperwork for Auto Assembly 2012 first as well including the despatach of all of out Non-Attendee Packs.

So if you’ve ordered tickets, booked dealers tables, purchased one of our Passes For Life, or qualified for complimentary passes through volunteering for Auto Assembly 2012, then check your inboxes over the next few weeks as we’re hoping to get confirmation emails sent out by the first week of September by which point we’ll be start work properly on Auto Assembly 2013… and making the first announcements regarding the rest of next year’s guests!

Seibertron member formula93 follows up his previous Toys"R"Us Masterpiece Thundercracker retail sighting with some nice in-hand images of the figure. As you can see Thundercracker features some interesting homages which include G1 Reflector on each bicep with the words "Say Cheese", a silhouette of of himself holding G1 Soundwave on his shoulder with the word "SONICBOOM" on his tail fins, and a reference to Hasbro designer Joe "Bid Daddy" Kyde just under the cockpit canopy.

Here are a few pics of TC, albeit on my crappy phone camera. You'll notice in the pic with the green circle, there was a stress mark on that tab straight out of the package. It connects the arm to the wing in plane mode. Might want to be careful. I figured everybody knows the scale of this mold, so there aren't any of those pics. Also, if you can't make it out, he has what amounts to an arm tatto on each bicep that has a picture of G1 Reflector, and the words "Say Cheese." Pretty neat touch. The sidewinder missiles are included, but I don't think there's anywhere to store them in jet mode, as his null ray blasters are now permanently mounted to his arm. The two face gimmick is absent, but the instructions still refer to it, as they're the same for the old MP Seeker figs. They also don't refer to the new heels, which are a FANTASTIC addition. I finally have a seeker that can stand on his own!

Courtesy of the Hobbybase and Planet Iacon facebook pages we have images of the Transformers Fall of Cybertron Combaticon toys in their vehicle and combined Bruticus modes.

Full Metal Hero have a image and story that Perfect Effects are doing a recoloured version of the amazing Assault Force X team (not Reflector) for the Japanese Transfunket convention.

The figures are coloured to be more like the original Transformers Reflector toy.
