Woking Toys R Us has the Energon toy in, although they are only putting them out today (a few have snuck onto shevles already, and their Ultra"s are sold out)! We"ve picked up Ravage and the Star Saber.
A different toy line, but still great news, is that Prince Adam and Zodac are also out .. in Woking TRU.

With Energon now hitting the UK shops, now is the time to complete your Armada collection. So why not stop by Toys R Us where is £4.99 a supercon
here. Minicons are £3.37 if you can find them. Speedbot II is £7.99 and Unicron is under £30. Why not pick up a Gen1 Starscream for £10, kitbashing has never been so inviting

Another guest has been added to the line up for Transforce 2004
Jeff Anderson will be at Transforce 2004. Jeff is highly regarded
for his work on the UK comic, inclduing stories such as "Target
2006", "Prey", "Fallen Angel", "Vicious Circle" and "Grudge Match" among many more. Jeff has also worked on titles such as Judge Dredd,
Mstech Wars, Shadow"s Edge and of course his epic "The Graphic
Bible".
The Transformers work Jeff is most proud of is the page that
introduced the original Galvatron in "Target 2006". "We didn"t have
the refs for him, so I had to draw him from the toy. A few days
later we got the refs from the film and he looked completely
different. Pros that we were we just said "it"ll do" and left it".
This will be Jeff"s first appearance at a Transformers convention.

From transformers.com
Web site Q & A for the week of May 17th
Q: I've read various reports (backed up by photos) saying that the new HIGH WIRE figure is virtually unpainted from the
torso up. Will this be changed in future production?
A: The deco of HIGH WIRE will not be changed going forward as a result of production material limitations.
Q: Does Hasbro have plans to release SOUNDWAVE, SKIDS, the mini-bots collection, ASTROTRAIN and TARGETMASTER HOTROD, which were
all released in Japan?
A: We are still in the process of solidifying our plans to release G1 characters. AUTOBOT SKIDS will be available at Toys R Us
this summer and we will continue to post updates on new character releases.
Q: So far, the only TRANSFORMERS ALTERNATORS on store shelves are SMOKESCREEN and SIDE SWIPE, but you have released information
on SILVERSTREAK, AUTOBOT HOUND, AUTOBOT TRACKS, DEAD END, and MEISTER. Do you plan on releasing more than 2 at a time in the future
and release items more frequently?
A: The above items in the ALTERNATORS line will be available this summer and Fall. We do plan to continue releasing new Alternators
cars consistently throughout the year.

I have released the latest addition to our Members Area, a
Toy CheckList . Sounds plain? Its not. After you have added the toys you own you can add notes to every one of them which is only accessible by yourself.
Not only this but a summary of your collection (by toyline, allegiance, year and first letter) will appear in your Members Profile accessible from the
Members PhotoPage (see TF @ The Moon for an example).
Two options are currently disable whilst they are improved, so look for future updates. Never again will you have to work out how many toys you have or how they break down, let our site do it for for.
Remember, Transformers @ The Moon bought it to you first.

The UK/European Transformers event, Auto Assembly, has already confirmed the first few details for Auto Assembly 2005, just over a week after it"s 2004 convention has ended!!
The provisional date for the event is Saturday 4th June 2005 and ticket prices for those who pre-book are going to be £7.50 for adults and £6 for children/concessions with on-the-door tickets likely to be slightly higher. Prices next year do not include Issue 7 of the event magazine, The Cybertronian Times, which will be available as an optional add-on.
Auto Assembly 2005 is being held in Birmingham, England and is in a brand new venue for 2005. We have been looking at venues for a while and there is one in particular that we are VERY excited about at the moment which offers a very spacious single hall with everything that we are looking for.
We just have a few details that we need to finalise with the venue and other issues and if all goes well we hope to be able to make the final announcements and start taking bookings in the next couple of weeks as well as announcing the first few guests! The event is, as with all Auto Assembly events, non-profit making, and will be raising funds for charity through a charity auction and raffle.
In 2004, we were joined by over 320 Transformers fans from all over the UK (with some visiting from overseas), we had seven guests from the world of Transformers, and we expect Auto Assembly 2005 to be even bigger! With our fundraising efforts we managed to raise over £1,000 for our two charities and we"d like to thank everyone for their support. Reports and photos are being added to the Auto Assembly website on a daily basis.
Full details will be on the
Auto Assembly Site and we"ll be posting updates and answering questions on the Auto Assembly forum. Alternatively, email us for more details.
