This is an Advance Warning, we are not moving at this time.
Within the next 72 hours we expect to make the move to our new Web Hosting company based in the US. We"ve been configuring, re-configuring and testing the server along with re-coding portions of the website to prepare us for this move. We now feel that everything is inplace so we shall be starting proceedings shortly. Whilst we sort out the "red tape" with our current webhost in Ireland the website will remain accessible at this, its primary web address. However, once the moving starts, the domain could go down at anytime. When this happens you will be able to view the site on our new server under a temporary address. That address is www.robotmaster.co.uk. Again this will be the sites
temporary address during the moving of the transformertoys.co.uk domain. There will be no need to update your bookmarks etc, the main domain might only be down for a few hours, though it could be a few days. Currently the mirrored address is a few days behind on the database and image contents, we will be rectifying this before we move the domain and cancel our current web hosting.
The new site is more stable than this one, with many of the php errors that occured after our current webhost was hacked being fixed. In addition, many processes have now been automated as part of the server and not as part of a "session hijack". This means that any page using the In The News feed will no longer be slowed down by external website having heavy traffic or being down. We have made other changes to speed up areas of the site, with some section now running 66% faster than they were.
Any site members that have not logged into the website within the last 5 months will probably find that they will no longer be able to login. This is because we have changed the one way encrpytion in preparation for future projects. If you can no longer login when the move is complete, then simply use the forgotten password option to retreive your details. Currently the members area has been disabled on the robotmaster address.
So to conclude. The site
will be moving this week. We are moving web hosting companies so this domain
will be down during that time. However, the site and all of its content will be accessible during this period via the mirror that will be running on the robotmaster.co.uk site. When the move is initiated, we will post a news story on this site and every page will take you to a temporary "the move is underway, please use our temporary address" page. Again, we"re not moving right now, but will be soon.

Thanks to Simes for posting this on our message board.
We"re going to be having our usual selection of displays up and running at AA this year including...
Art Display
We"re already collecting work together for this year"s art display and it"s going to be something special...! On display will be all of the competition entries covering hand drawn, painted and computer generated work alongside models, kitbashes, dioramas and any other creative work. That will be backed up with our main art display consisting of other fan and professional work including a selection of pages of original Transformers comic artwork and the original artwork from the Auto Assembly 2004 exclusive postcards from Andrew Wildman and Lee Sullivan!
Toy Display
This year"s Toy Display is going to be a little different... We"re going for a themed display this year looking at Optimus and Megatron spanning the years so you"ll find a massive display of every Optimus and Megatron toy you can imagine from 1984 onwards! Whether it"s an original G1 Prime, or World"s Smallest Megatron, it will be on display here and most will have notes giving you information on every toy you"ll see including variations between US and Japanese releases.
There will also be a secondary display showcasing the BinalTech/Alternators range and we are hoping to have the entire range on display, and possibly even some prototypes!

I think this is news - I found Shockblast and Cliffjumper in my Smyths (an Irish toy store chain) today (along with Bulkhead and the Micromaster Protectobots) after a friend of mine spotted them in his Smyths in Limerick, ROI.
