Thanks to ComcBookMovie a new on set image has appeared showing yet another super car, this time a bright yellow Saleen S7.

Will the car appear in the movie or is it owned by somoene working on the film?  If the car appears in the movie, will it just be in the background or turn out to be another Transformer?  Speculation is running around that this may well be either Sunstreaker or Drag Strip, for obvious reasons

It's looking like the Transformers: Alternity line is not yet dead and that the next releases in the line after Bumblebee and Cliffjumper will be the Autobot brothers from Generation One, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe!  Why doe it look this way, you ask, well take a quick trip over to TakaraTomy's website and you will see that there is a Lamborghini silhouette that has been added to the page.

Expect lots more on this over the coming weeks

Thanks to board member Sunstreaker for pointing out a news article run by the UK tabloid newspaper The Sun which is entitled "Optimus Prime Minister Hailed".� The article is regarding the current UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown and questions that were posted to him by listeners on Radio WM on how Labour could help them through the current problems facing Britain. Here is q quote from the article "during the chat, host Phil Upton quizzed him on how sons, John and James, had enjoyed the Christmas period. Giving a rare insight into how his family spent the festive season, the PM joked how the leader of the Autobots could be the man to help him.�� Speaking of his sons, he said: “Christmas was a big thing for them. The great thing is they have a small piano they are playing.� “Sport’s big for them as well. Transformers is a big thing too as you probably now.� “If I could meet Optimus Prime, he seems to be able to solve most of the problems.”

No sooner had these remarked been made than by the British PM, than a spokesman for the Tory (Conservative) Party said he thought the PM was more like Optimus Prime’s sworn enemies.“Gordon Brown's got much more in common with the Decepticons.” the spokesman said.

The article shows the impact that the first live action Transformers movie has had, and that how, two years on, it themes and characters have remained in peoples minds.� This only bows well for upcoming sequal Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.

TakaraTomy have updated their website with the a page for Transformers Henkei Sunstreaker, part four of the Transformers Henkei comic, a character page for Transformers Encore 12 Metroplex, a new wallpaper and finally, a character page for Generation One Prowl.

The 127th issue of Figure King magazine was released today in Japan and includes article on Transformers Encore Metroplex, the Suntory Limited coffee boss campaign figures, Transformers Henkei Prowl, Sunstreaker and Galvatron, the heavily delayed Binaltech Convoy, Alternity Convoy, Transformers Crossovers and an article on the TransformArt exhibitions.

The article on Encore Metroplex covers the history of the character including pictures from Scramble City and the G1 cartoon, as well as highlighting the mould difference on the tank turrent (Slammer). The article also confirms, once again, that the toy will be the chromed legged rubber wheeled version.

The Suntory Limited coffee boss campaign figures, which we first reported on the 18th August, are highly cartoon accurate non-transforming figures, think back to the SCF toys, and like those have chase figures, the chrome toys, of which the parts will be spread over a few cans.

Images are published in the issue of the Transformers Henkei Prowl and Sunstreaker figures. The images are of the Japanese versions and not the US figures. The toys are due out in October, and the magazine announces that Galvatron will be the next Transformers Henkei toy released after these toys, with a picture of his head being published.

This issue of Figure King states that the much delayed Binaltech Convoy figure will finally be released in Japan on the 2nd October 2008. Previously the figure had been reported as being released at the end of September via he TakaraTomy Generation One website.

The article on the Alternity GT-R figure publishes the prototype image which was recently seen on the internet. It also states that the automatic transformation system has been dubbed "Synchronized Tec" in a similar way to the "Automorph Technology" Hasbro use on the Transformers Movie toys. No information was published concerning the name of the character, the retail price or the release date.
