Divebomb has sent us the below
Whilst Hasbro were not allowing photos of anything other than Action Man, they did issue this press release about their 2004 plans for Transformers...
One of the UK's most collectable action figure brands is launching an all-out assault on the market in 2004.
The ultimate 80s boys' toys phenomenon Transformers has been reinvented with a brand new storyline and two new sets of collectables Transformers Energon and Transformers Alternators.
For Spring / Summer, the hugely successful Armada series is being pepped-up with a brand new storyline The Unicorn Battles complete with new and refreshed characters.
Dynamic, new packaging and a free CD Rom with every Supercon pack is aimed at enhancing the Transformers range even further. Programming on Sky One will also continue throughout 2004.
Autumn/Winter 2004 will also see the launch of Transformer Energon a brand new entertainment segment that will replace Armada. The segment features great, new play patterns with all the Autobots combining together and the Decepticons being endowed with bigger weapons capable of Hyper Power mode.
2004 will also see the launch of Transformers Alternators new, highly detailed licensed vehicles that transform into awesome looking robots.
The series will focus on the super-charged Subaru Impreza with Spring/Summer featuring a highly-collectable rally car and Autumn/Winter featuring a cool street car.
Hasbro has signalled it means business with a planned Spring/Summer 2004 TV advertising spend that is more than double last year's budget.
Divebomb commented: From this it sounds like Energon won"t hit the UK until Autumn.
We agree that this sounds terrible, with Armada scheduled for the first half of this year (the Unicron Battle toys), even though some of the Powerlinks toys are already out.

TF World recieved a couple emails from a Mazda customer service rep about the RX-8 Alternator. The emails basically state that the design seen on the site is not the final version and the name has no been decided upon.

Transfandom report that the design for the RX-8 Mazda seen all over the web, was
not designed by Hasbro but by Mazda themselves. This means that the final toy may be nothing like that one

We got our Diamond catelogue today, which we will upload pictures from it tomorrow. Here are a few things to look out for
Palisades Arcee Statue - the blurb says "One of the most heroic and valiant of the Autobot forces is also one of its most enigmatic. Debuting in Transformers The Movie in 1987, Arcee was a new type of Autobot warrior - sweet, kind and loyal to her friends, but also a merciless, leathal warrior to her enemies. The Decepticons constantly underrate her since to them she so closely resembles female humans, which the Decepticons have absolutelt no respect for ..too bad for the Decepticons ... As the third Transformers statue from Palisades Toys, you can now bring home this beautifully sculpted Arcee to add to your collection"
She is sold under the title - Arcee Polystone Statue" and is limited to initial orders. RRP is $149.99
Other features are Dreamwave"s "April is Megatron Month" as they unveil the NEW Megatron (Energon Megatron). There is Armada:More Than Meets The Eye #2, G1 issue 4, various Energon posters, a limited Pat Lee cover to G1 #4 (inc 5 pages bonus Megatron Story by James Raiz and finally topped off with ARmada Trade paperback Vol 3.
There are lots of interesting toys (Microman gets a big push this month) and lots of Anime. We will be posting the pics on our board tomorrow evening, and adding a link here.
