Cybertron Evac (Galaxy Force Live (Life) Convoy), has been release in Australia, report TAAU.com. The toy has, thus far, been spotted in Toys R Us, although he is not yet registered in their computer system. Click the link to TAAU.com for the full report.

TvNihon have the next episode of Galaxy Force (46) up for downloading. Credit goes to sideways..

Fan to Fan updated their site yesterday with updates from Figure Oh, Dengeki Hobby Magazine and Hobby Japan magazines. The updates include a Spotlight on T.H.S - 02 G1 Convoy, Re-Issue Galvatron final pictures / boxart (which was shown off earlier in the week on TFWorld via an auction picture, and various other bits.

They also have a nice gallery of Galaxy Force DVD Special Red Exhillion to look at as well.

We will stop taking pre-orders for the e-Hobby Exclusive Galvtron II tomorrow evening at 18:00GMT. This is because e-Hobby only have a limited supply left to allocate and have asked us to finalise our orders for those ASAP.

If you are interested in ordering one via us, then please stop by the Moon Store, and place your pre-order.

We have also decide that we will not be placing orders for Pepsi-Convoy, as he works out at about £10 more via e-Hobby (with shipping to the UK, in the UK, customs, Japanese sales tax etc etc) than some of the UK based importers.

For those interested in placing an order for the e-Hobby exclusive re-issue of Twincast, then we will continue to take pre-orders until early December.

There's not a huge amount to actually tell about this release yet, as it's still some way off. However, I'm sure that most people are aware of the issues there were with the subtitles for Headmasters, so first off, I'll allay fears with this bit of news:

The DVD will be using subtitle scripts written by Jordan L. Derber (Buster Darkwings), as seen on TVNihon's fansub releases. This basically elminates the possibilty of TF-specific errors that burdened the Headmasters release.

That said, there are some things in the subtitles which still need to be discussed. Firstly, there's the business of names - for Headmasters, the characters were referred to in the subs by their Western names. This just really doesn't work for the majority of Masterforce, and as such, I, personally, am behind keeping all the characters' Japanese names (and I was an advocate of American names for HM, just to give that context). The Godmasters and Headmasters, specifically, are just entirely too different from their Western counterparts for it to work, and characters like Sixknight don't visually jive with their Western selves also. The only characters I can conceivably see the idea working with are the Seacons and the Pretenders, but I feel that they, too, have some differences, and it all gets very picky-choosey, so, yeah. Japanese names. In the same vein, I feel "Godmasters" ought to be used instead of Powermasters (assuming that there is no active desire NOT to use a term involving "god" - I could see that happening quite readily in the US, but I wouldn't be too sure about over here).

However, purely in the name of consistency with other releases, I DO feel that "Autobot" and "Decepticon" ought to be used in place of "Cybertron" and "Destron." In fact, there's even one scene of a scrapbook in which the evil 'bots are referred to as both "Destrons" AND "Decepticons" in written text.

Outside of the show and characters itself, there is also the way that Jordan has chosen to translate the scripts, often using untranslated Japanese swear words. He's said himself that he sees why some people would find this less than desirable, and although I agree with him that it can be more colourful, I often found it distracting, and I feel that for a full DVD release, the subs should be fully anglicized.

Similarly, the fansubs also contain frequent cultural notes and explanations at the top of the screen. If the DVD were to contain a third pop-up track - in the vein of ADV's "ADVid-Notes," as seen on releases like "Excel Saga" - I would be behind including them, but as that seems unlikely, I generally believe that most of them should be dropped, as they are generally inessential lessons in the Japanese language (many of which will be rendered pointless by the anglicization of the swears) and occasionally distracted me, or required me to pause or rewind so I could read them and the dialogue subtitle that was on the screen at the same time. There are SOME which I feel can - nay, NEED - to say - for example, there's a scene in which Cab sings a traditional Japanese chlidren's song, and one has to understand that to appreciate the scene, so that one could stay.

Okay, so... discuss. No polls or anything yet, just talk about it, what your views are, whether your agree or disagree with me, etc.

Seibertron have a report that Don Murphy has annouced the Line Producer for the new Transformers: Movie film. It will be Ian Bryce.

The Line Producer is in charge of making sure the film is finished on time, along with various other roles.

Here you'll find an extremely long post by Nevermore covering Transformer trademarks, why certain names are altered when they are re-used, and various other tip-bits. It's an interesting read and once again leaves us pondering how Nevermore finds the time to research and write these things. Excellent stuff.

We've updated our November Mirror of the Japanese TF Image Board, with several pictures of Cybertron Swerve and Swindle, as well as a couple of older pictures of Binaltech Skids and BTA Roadrage.
