With the Insecticon Clone Army now reportedly being shipped, the next e-Hobby exclusive item should be announced within the next month. Most e-Hobby exclusives are based on the latest officially announced G1 re-issue, think Astrotrain, Minibots, Hound and Insecticons. With this being the case the question is who is next?
The next re-issues are the Predacons and possibly SoundBlaster. If the latter proves to be true, could this mean we may see a purple Soundwave being released based on the original comics?

IESB is reporting
here that Robert Zemeckis is reportedly tied to the new Transformers Film. Robert Zemeckis has been linked to the film ever since the first rumours of a new film started. IESB also report that another industry insider is claiming that Warner Brothers has asked Robert Zemeckis and Dreamworks not to make any announcements regarding the Transformers until after the release of The Polar Express.
This should still be treated as a rumour for now

TF World 2005 and other sites are speculating that Soundblaster could be the next re-issue, as he appears on
Amazon Japan"s website.
Soundblaster has been expected as a re-issue ever since Soundwave was re-released, as all Takara had to do was make the new chest piece.

Don Murphy posted the following message on his board
here
Hey there here"s what we got....
Transformers- we"re cloing in on a writer and choosing to go with a younger guy who grew up with the mythology.like all of you fans. Should be announced in the coming weeks. Dreamworks and Spielberg very much still want the film for Summer "06 so it"ll be hard- but GOOD.
Also on the main site under "Human Stuff" "Make Don Murphy Happy" I"ve listed a bunch of very obscure stuff that I"ve been looking for for like forever. If any of you can help, email me at my hotmail account.
Under this thread I"d like to hear replies to the following-
"In the 1980s I grew up on Transformers. I loved GI Joe and dug He Man. I also liked a hell of a lot.....????"
What kind of books, comics or properties does the Transformers generation want to see make it to the big screen?"

Just another quick reminder that Metrodome"s
Bucky O"Hare - The Complete Series double disc DVD boxset is
released in just 2 days (11th Oct 2004). The DVD contains all 12 episodes,
a quiz, character profiles, scripts and more.
You can pre-order the DVD from Amazon
(£9.74) or Play.com
(£9.99).
By purchasing the DVD you not only get to watch another classic show
that ended prematurely (and a show which Scott McNeil lists as voicing
his favourite character), but you also support Metrodome which will mean
they will have more funds to be able to spend on special features and
exclusives for next years releases which include Transformers: The Movie.
