We have updated our sister website The Visionaries.net with a brand new article which takes a look at the Toy TV Spots which were produced for the short-lived 1980s Hasbro licensed property. Whilst researching some of the history of the TV Spots we held a conversation with former Griffin-Bacal employee Robert Rundbaken where we learnt a more about the history of the Transformers toy TV spots than the Visionaries ones. We shall publish those details via a news story right here on Transformers At The Moon in the next couple of days. For now thoughyou can read the Visionaries article here.
The Visionaries.net is currently being revamped so most of the content is offline, but you will find some preview articles and contentw which we have pubilshed prior to the official relaunch.

It's catch-up time here at Transformers At The Moon and what better place to start than by uploading the rest of the Japanese Hobby Magazine scans we're collected for the last 6 months (don't worry we still have about another 30-50 back issues from the 90s to scan through yet).

Maz, who runs TF-1.com, has just published a new article on the Ceji Joustra Diaclone line. The article, which is over 10,000 words and contains over 100 images, is the result of his 14 worth of research.
Rather than try to describe this article to you, I thought it would be best to let Maz himself elaborate on the piece.
"For the last month or so I've been putting together the biggest, most
comprehensive and ambitious article I have ever written, numbering over
10,000 words and containing over 110 photos. It is the fruit of nearly
14 years of collecting and the incredible contributions of many
generous, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and unique collectors throughout
the world.
This one feels like my life's work, but I cannot take sole
responsibility for it by any stretch as the credits will show just how
much input others have had in shaping what I hope will be for the
forseeable future, the definitive article on the conception, history,
evolution and fate of the Ceji Joustra Diaclone toy line from Europe.
Ceji Joustra Diaclone Overview
Article includes:
- Diaclone roots and inception
- Joustra Diaclone comic cover scans
- Pictures of all Joustra Diaclone toys found to date including never before seen world first Wave 2 pictures!
- Magazine and print adverts for Joustra Diaclones
- Dealer Catalogue scans from 1984 and 1985
- Theories on unanswered questions and mysteries around the toy line since day 1
- Eventual fate of the Joustra Diaclone line and what happened to the toys
- Paul Vromen's incredible sidebar artwork for this article
As if that wasn't enough, it is absolutely a wonderful pleasure to introduce a brand new website
dedicated entirely to the Ceji Joustra Diaclone toy line created by
RpChristophe, a French collector, researcher, enthusiast and someone I
consider a great friend:
JOUSTRA DIACLONE
Features include:
- Full scans of all Joustra Diaclone comics found to date
- Exploded packaging images for all Joustra Diaclone toys found to date
- Bio of the Joustra Diaclone wave 1 artists Paul & Gaetan Brizzi
- Available in French and English
Finally, the following articles on TF-1.com
have been updated to include new discoveries, better and new
photographs and contributions and to reflect the findings since original
posting:
(1)DIACLONE BLACK TRACKS
INCLUDING:
- New packaged and loose images
(2)MILTON BRADLEY AND THE TRANSFORMERS RED TRACKS
INCLUDING:
- Info and pics updated to reflect discoveries made by Mijo at 20thcenturytoycollector.com
(3)BLACK MEXICAN PROWL
INCLUDING:
- New photos of packaged and loose Mexican Prowl
- Updated copyright stamping variant information
- Paul Vromen's Prowl artwork added to sidebar
(4)MEXICAN SMOKESCREEN "SMOKESTREAK"
INCLUDING:
- New variant of Mexican Smokescreen "Smokestreak" found
I do very much hope you enjoy all of the work above even half as much as
we have enjoyed putting the articles, pages and websites together. It's
been a real labour of love and with all work like this it will
undoubtedly be subject to change in the future when further discoveries
are made. Mijo's work on MB Transformers is a great example of new
research and perspective necessitating changes to my own work and
website.
Feedback, as always, is welcome 
Massive thanks to all involved, especially Christophe, Mijo, JB, Paul
and all article contributors. It's been an unforgettable joy to work
with you all, and get to know you all.
All the best
Maz"
