You can now find more images of two of our custom Transformer toys, G1
Slicer - a re-painted version of an original G1 Wheeljack toy based on the
Slicer Action Master figure, as well as Super Silverstreak, our super sized Prowl toy.
Super Siverstreak has been recoloured in the Blue Bluestreak colour scheme as well as having the sirens removed.
In addition to this we have now removed a whole host of dead links in the
Image Gallery area, where toys did not have reviews or images. We shall be looking into the code behind the area, which has suffered from several bugs, during "Project: Moon Landing" which we are currently undergoing.

TFAuctions
have finally announced their co-operative competition with Hasbro UK.
The competition gives you the chance to design a re-colour of one of
the existing Alternator Transformers!
As one of the selected sites, we shall be uploading our images later this afternoon (around 13:30 GMT). Here are the details
"Competition time again, this time Hasbro.co.uk
and TFAuctions.com have teamed up with a host of sites to bring some
interest back to the Alternators range (not that it's needed). TFwire.com, Allspark.com, Transformers @ The Moon.co.uk and TFormers.com
have all joined in on this great competition and are giving it their
full backing, our thanks go out to the guys on all sites for their time
and interest in this comp. This competition is split up into
four sections, each of the four websites have been given 3 blank
Alternator images to host from their site. All you have to do is go to
your desired site copy or download your chosen image or images and
re-colour them in anyway you feel fit. This is an open contest so anyone
can enter, you can use anything you wish to re-colour them and also
enter as many times as you like. Note: *Please allow each website
involved 24 hours to upload their images.*Once you have coloured your images send them to
comp@tfauctions.com
along with your name and age. We will then pass all entries on to
Hasbro who will make a decision, we will then announce the winner on
December 23rd 2006.
Maybe Hasbro are looking for ideas for the
Alternators line to revamp it? Maybe you have an idea that might swing
them, or maybe if this competition shows good interest they will decide
to continue one of the best lines to date?There will be 1
winner and 2 runners up. The winning entry will receive a mystery box
filled with all manner of Hasbro goodness. The 2 runners up will each
receive some smaller random Hasbro items. The winning site will also receive a little present as well so support your site and start colouring today! All the entries will be shown on our sister site www.cougarhq.com after December 23rd 2006. Thanks to Tyler for the hook up with the images.Enjoy the comp. David Ravenscroft

Fan to Fan have more information on the MP-05 Masterpiece Megatron toy including :-
-
Kremzeek figure included (different mold from the one that comes with Kiss
Players Autorooper x Atari)
- Working Trigger action when in Gun mode
- Same size as MP-01 G1 Convoy!!
- LED gimmick in scope
- Die-cast parts
- Memorable accessories include energy mace, laser-cutter and gun from Transformers:
The Movie (used by Megatron in the fight with Optimus Prime).
- New transformation designs and concepts, for example moving the trigger
part to the legs, improving overall Robot proportion.
- Due to toy gun regulation in the US, Walter P-38 Megatron was never in the
plans when the Japan team worked with the US team. MP-05 Megatron is designed
and developed solely by the Japan team, solely for the Japan market.
There are also new images of the toy in gun mode at
Fan to Fan and
Amiami
