TF:Cybertron confirmed for UK TV in 2006

Entertainment rights, who announced that the owned the overseas (non North American) rights for distributing Transformers: Cybertron several months ago have now announced, report TFormers, that they have agreed terms with Cartoon Network to broadcast the show across Europe in the UK, Italy, Spain, France, Poland, Hungary, Romania and Scandinavia. they are being quoted as having "high expectations of the new Transformers series." and hops that the promotion of the upcoming film will build more interest before the release in 2006.

Cartoon Network can be received in the UK by Digital Cable and Sky subscribers. This limited market, which excludes analogue Cable and Terestrial services, has been partially blamed for relatively weak success of the Transformers: Energon when compared to shows such as TNMT (Boys Toy of the year 2004) and Power Rangers (Market Leader for overall Toy Sales and TV Viewing), both who also obtained Terestrial broadcast rights in 2004 . Approximately 50% of homes in the UK do not have Digital TV with 25% of the UK homes unable to obtain any sort of Digital Service.

Re-Mold of Alternator Windcharger / Overdrive

Both TF World 2005 and The Allspark have discussion threads on the next A;ternator being a remolded Windcharger / Overdrive.

It doesn"t take long to come to this conclusion, as every other mold hsa been used at least twice. Speculation has already started in some areas, with the name Rumble being mentioned a few times, as well as Brakedown (who"s name Hasbro trademarked a little while back).
