Jim Sorenson has updated his blog Disciples of Boltax with a new Ark Addendum entry entitled Megatron's Master Plan (e). Here's what Jim had to say about this weeks update
"Just as I started on what I felt was a high point, I wanted to end the same way. The first post in the series,
back in December of 2008, focused on propaganda. We went through some
models of Berger's rocket and some structures in the episode, but I
figured I'd finish off with the models that make up Central City. It
seems to be quite a large metropolis, with a robust skyline, a huge
stadium, a massive city hall, and a fairly contentious political scene.
One wonders if The Flash is around to keep things safe. Sadly, the
futuristic version of this town gets crushed in Five Faces of Darkness
when Metroplex and Trypticon battle. Ah, well, easy come, easy go.I
hope you enjoy this detailed examination of the nearest city to the Ark
as much as I did.

Jim Sorenson has updated his blog with another Ark Addendum, this time entitled Crosshairs, TRANSFORM!
The entry focuses on the transformation sequence of Autobot
Targetmaster Crosshairs and his targetmaster partner Pinpointer (Pointech in Japan). Here's Jim to tell you a little about it.
"Today I'm feeling like getting away from the Sunbow cartoon and dancing
over to Japan. We haven't done a Transform sequence in a while, so how
about... Crosshairs!
One thing that's a bit odd about the sequence is how we see his
Targetmaster fly away from him in the second step... but then Pinpointer
(or Pointech, if you're feeling the Japanese love) isn't on the model
in step one. Whoops! Anyway, enjoy!

As part of his updates to the Disciples of Boltax, Jim Sorenson has added a new entry for The Ark Addendum, Carly and Chip. Though previously included in The Ark books Jim, via Kjeevahh on behalf of Lexmc, has now been given a new, more complete character sheet of both these characters.
"I've
previously included models for Chip, though the models that I won as a
part of the Frieman material were different and, I believe, more
finalized than what was published in The Ark. This is one of those
pages that I deeply wish I could go back and insert into The Ark, but
alas I suspect that that train has sailed" Jim himself blogs in reference to the new material which you can find here.

There are two new Robn Freeman auction galleries / uploads for you today, if you are following them.
First up is G1son's images of the colour character designs of the Transformers characters.
Second is a download made available by Jim Sorenson
And now, the third part of the spoils of our little charitable
collective endeavor. I'm continuing to upload scans from the Hasbro
Briefing Binder. This is the second tab, marked Decepticons. There are
definitely some items of interest, like a corrected design for Rumble's
gun, or the note that Megatron's head should be 20% bigger.

blog Disciples of Boltax which contains scans from another Ron Friedman auction that he won on behalf of the a consortium of bidders. The auction this time was for the Hasbro Briefing Binder from 1985. Jim will be posting the contents over the coming weeks, as there are a lot of pages to get through and much like the Movie draft its well worth a read.
