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.

The
Primus testshot that was put up on eBay.com earlier in the week has been removed from their database. There are several possible reasons for this, the seller could have sold the item privately and had the auction removed, he could have changed his mind, or eBay could have removed the listing themselves, possibly at the request of Hasbro. Either way, its gone.

Toonami's Advert for Cybertron, starting 5th September in the UK, is gaining more advertising slots on the channel, we are informed, in an attempt to boost its initial viewing figures. You can read more on the show, such as the timeslots, toonami's average viewing figures and confirmation that the show will start with episode 1 on a news story from a few days ago
here. It seems many people missed it when the news first broke.

Thanks to Nevermore for letting the Trans-Europe Express group know that...
Intertoys in Borken have (had)
Landmine, Dirt Boss (14.99 Euros each), Ransack and Overhaul (7.99 Euros each) and the "Railbots" (4.99 Euro each) in stock.. Nevermore points out, however, that
"we (the German TF Fans) already found out before that Intertoys are receiving their shipments from Hasbro Netherlands, not Hasbro Germany, hence it's not a "real" German release, but rather an "import".. Sightings of Energon Terradive have also been spotted in the same stores. So although not a true German release, it is good that they finally have some new TFs in what is a generally a TF-starved part of Europe.
